Published: December 2024

Introduction: As problems of social aspects of health and increased population segmentation have emerged, the question of access to the necessary medical services has become one of the most acute in modern society.Objective: This study aims to analyse  the social determinants of health and healthcare services and determine major dynamics that affect equal utilisation of healthcare services.Methods: The study used an integrated approach comprised of statistical analysis, sociological research and health policy analysis was adopted.Results: The following findings established that lack of equitable health access affects the populace's health and social order. Lack of health insurance and low income significantly hamper the ability to get good quality healthcare. Regional disparities are also vital, mainly because rural facilities do not possess the appropriate tools. In order to address the this medical, social and economic problem, one has to act and investigate more thoroughly.Conclusions: Since the subject of the work is the analysis of the social aspects of health, emphasis is placed on the availability of healthcare for populations deprived of it either financially, geographically, or through other restraints. This primarily focuses more attention on the marginalised groups in society, including older adults, people experiencing poverty, people in remote areas and discriminated groups in health facilities

Published: December 2024

The study empirically examined budget deficit in Nigeria. Based on the theoretical review conducted, the following findings were made: As the current account deficit worsens, it results to the depreciation of the domestic currency which may impact the economy negatively due to the inflationary pressures and thus increase interest rates. As a consequence, the cost of borrowing goes up for the government and this exerts pressure on the government budget due to high debt service and thus high deficit levels. These vicious cycles will continue again and again, and the potential spiral effects are creating anxieties in the Nigerian economy. Empirically, there is a tendency for a country’s budget deficits to crowd out its domestic investment in the short run and its stock of capital in the long run. The main problem of this study is to investigate the impact of budget deficit on economic performance in Nigeria in terms of its implications on the real gross domestic product in the short run as well as the long run periods. Budget deficit has a negative and significant effect on economic growth in Nigeria. It was recommended that government should strive to mop the leakages in accrued foreign loans, eliminate room for misappropriation of borrowed funds and hence foster the influence of this resource on the economy so as to achieve better growth especially in the short-run.

Formative Assessment Practice in Singing Teaching in Secondary School: A Convergent Mixed Methods Study in Macao
Authors: Qi Zixiang , Sofia Serra , Man Tchiang Van
Published: December 2024

This study is an exploration of the implementation of formative assessment in singing teaching by teachers in Macao. We applied convergent mixed methods, and the research questions focused on the current implementation of formative assessment (strengths and weaknesses). Quantitative data (N=57) was collected through questionnaires adapted from Ramsey and Duffy (2016), and qualitative data (N=9) was collected through semi-structured interviews. Both types of data were collected from in-service local music instructors who teach music in secondary schools. Subsequently, both sets of data were compared side-by-side through a matrix to address the research questions. The results suggest that: a) teachers applied all five strategies of formative assessment from Thompson and Wiliam’s (2007) framework, albeit with varying frequencies; b) teachers prioritized skill targets and technical accuracy over expressive qualities; c) performance assessment dominated singing classes, while questioning was more common in other settings; d) the strengths of formative assessment implementation could be found in the clarification of learning intentions and criteria for success, and also in feedback that propelled learners forward, eliciting the learning evidence, and mobilizing students as the owners of their own learning as well as that of their peers’. Weaknesses in practice were identified, and several strategies are suggested for further improvement. Applying such strategies could increase formative assessment’s effectiveness in singing lessons in Macao.

Published: December 2024

Studies to understand the progress of microevolution in aquatic terrains are limited to a few species due to the considerable technical obscurity involved in analyzing the genetic status of diverse traits. The present study adopted a traditional morphometric technique to examine shell polymorphism within the population of the intertidal gastropod (Pachymelania fusca, Gmelin) on the mudflats of the Calabar River, Nigeria. A total of 198 specimens were sampled randomly along the intertidal mudflats (Nsidung, Esukutan, Adiabo) from July to September 2021. The specimens were identified in the field based on standard taxonomic keys and further classified into three morphs based on shell wrinkling: unwrinkled, intermediate, and wrinkled. Each specimen was morphometrically assessed with 9 allometrically treated traits and 2 multivariate markers. Results revealed that the first principal component was responsible for 95.6% of the variance. The leave-one-out classification model correctly assigned 64.0% of individual periwinkles into two morphologically separate groups (unwrinkled and wrinkled), with 17.6% and 47.1% of the intermediate group misclassified as unwrinkled and wrinkled, respectively. The group classification in the present study suggests that selection for shell wrinkling could not be the only determinant of shell polymorphism in P. fusca. Further molecular studies could reveal underlying drivers of shell polymorphism in the intertidal gastropod. Also, cross-breeding experiments could determine if the intermediate form was a copulation or hybridization result between the unwrinkled and the wrinkled forms.

Evaluation and Implementation of EMI/EMC Compliance for a Proposed Power Electronics-Based Converter Topology for Electric Vehicles
Authors: Tekin Hakan , Vatansever Seyit , Ertekin Davut
Published: December 2024

The demand for high-gain, efficient, and cost-effective power converters with simple control mechanisms to connect electric vehicle batteries to the grid is increasing. This study introduces a switched capacitor-based power boost converter circuit to meet these needs. The minimal number of power switches in the circuit simplifies control operations and improves practical applicability. The proposed converter boosts the battery pack voltage by a factor of 5 and 11 for duty ratios of 0.5 and 0.8, respectively, which is significant compared to conventional boost converters.
However, designing an electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter is crucial when a power converter board requires the application of a wide range of switching frequencies to enhance electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) immunity. Therefore, as the next step, the EMI/EMC filter design stages were discussed for the proposed converter. For this purpose, 15 printed circuit board (PCB) design rules were checked using the Altium Designer EMI Design Rule Checker, and board EMI/EMC compatibility was analysed. The resonance between the power and ground layers in the PCB was assessed using the plane resonance analyser. The results of simulation and laboratory tests are presented, which confirms the theoretical studies. On the basis of the software results, the points on the electronic board most susceptible to visual interferences have been identified. To minimise these EMI/EMC errors, it is suggested to add electronic components, such as capacitors, at these points according to mathematical and software findings.
Voltage Differencing Buffered Amplifier Realisation Using 32 nm FinFET Technology and Universal Filter Applications
Authors: Altan Yagci Sevda , Konal Mustafa , Kacar Firat
Published: December 2024

This paper presents high-frequency universal filter applications based on a voltage differential buffered amplifier (VDBA) using 32 nm fin field effect transistor (FinFET) technology. FinFET technology is a promising alternative to complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology to avoid the problems caused by the decrease in transistor size as the technology evolves. In addition to the manufacturing process being similar to CMOS technology, FinFET technology offers many advantages, such as reduced short channel effects, higher drain current, reduced static leakage current, faster switching time, lower supply voltage, lower power consumption, and higher efficiency. The VDBA active circuit block, which has high input impedance and low output impedance, is preferred for high-frequency and high-bandwidth applications. It is advantageous to design active filter circuits using VDBA because of its superior features, such as lower power consumption, higher bandwidth, wider range linearity, and the ability to implement the proposed circuits without external resistors. In this study, FinFET-based VDBA and filter application are simulated with the Spice simulation programme using 32 nm PTM technology parameters. Simulation results using 32 nm FinFET technology are compared with those using 0.18 µm TSMC technology. It is concluded that 32 nm FinFET technology reduces power consumption by 98.8 % and increases bandwidth by 145 times. The successful results show that FinFET technology is superior to CMOS technology in analogue circuit design. FinFET-based VDBA circuits and filters will be more advantageous in the design of signal processing and biomedical applications.
A Study of Hybrid Renewable Energy Production Scenarios Using a Long Short-Term Memory Method. A Case Study of Göksun
Authors: Karayigit Habibe , Bolukbasi Aykan , Abaci Kadir , Akdagli Ali
Published: December 2024

The global demand for energy has increased exponentially over the years. To reduce the dominance of fossil fuels in energy production, there has been a shift towards energy production models based on renewable sources. In the design of hybrid energy systems, it is essential to keep investment costs low while ensuring the security of the energy supply by meeting the consumer’s energy demands without interruption. The success of a good energy production model can be directly associated with the results of load estimation. The primary objective of this research is to predict the electricity demand for the Göksun district until 2028, utilising a data set that encompasses electricity usage from 2019 through the first four months of 2024 for the Göksun district in Kahramanmaraş. This endeavour includes the application of various machine learning (ML) paradigms (long short-term memory (LSTM), gated recurrent unit (GRU), convolutional neural network (CNN)-LSTM, support vector regression (SVR)) to produce load forecasting outcomes and to engineer an optimally performing hybrid system. On evaluation of the performance metrics derived from the experimental data, it has been established that the LSTM model outperforms other methodologies, yielding more favourable results. The simulation studies of the designed hybrid system were conducted using the hybrid optimisation model for electric renewables software (HOMER Pro), demonstrating improvements in both economic and environmental parameters. Our study is unique in that it is the first to utilise a data set specific to the Göksun region and to model predictions obtained from this data set using HOMER software.

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Combined with Occupational Therapy Improves Upper Limb Function in Children with Unilateral Cerebral Palsy: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Ebrahimabadi Zahra , Ghaderian Behnam , Askary Kachoosangy Reihaneh
Published: December 2024

Background: One of the most common movement disorders in children with cerebral palsy (CP) is upper limb function impairment. This limitation can lead to increased dependency in daily life activities and self-care. Recently, a new treatment method called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been developed to improve hand function in neurological disorders involving upper limb impairments. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the tDCS technique, combined with occupational therapy exercises, on upper limb function in children with CP. Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 50 children aged 5 - 10 years with hemiplegic CP were randomly divided into two groups: An experimental group and a control group, with 25 children in each. The experimental group received 45 minutes of occupational therapy exercises along with 20 minutes of electrical stimulation via tDCS, while the control group received therapy exercises with the tDCS in off mode. The intervention lasted four weeks, with five sessions per week. Upper extremity motor function was assessed using the Fugl-Meyer test, and gross manual dexterity was evaluated with the Box and Block test. The Bruininks-Oseretsky test was employed to assess fine and gross motor skills across four motor areas: Fine manual control, manual coordination, body coordination, and strength and agility. Outcomes were measured in both groups before and after the 4-week interventions. An independent t-test or Mann-Whitney test was used for between-group comparisons. Results: The study results showed that all outcomes related to upper limb function improved in both groups after the 4-week intervention. However, the group that received tDCS alongside routine occupational therapy demonstrated significantly greater improvement compared to the group that received only routine occupational therapy (P < 0.001). Moreover, no significant side effects were observed during or after the use of tDCS. Conclusions: The results suggest that although both therapy exercises and tDCS interventions individually enhance upper limb function in children with unilateral CP, the combined use of these two interventions led to significantly better outcomes compared to routine occupational therapy alone. This finding underscores the clinical applicability of incorporating both modalities into rehabilitation programs for children with CP. Therefore, combining occupational therapy exercises with tDCS is recommended for improved results in enhancing upper limb function in CP.

Authors: Iranzadasl Maryam , Bozorgi Mahbubeh , Pasalar Mehdi
Published: December 2024

Context: Traditional medicine (TM) is widely used and holds significant potential for increasing Primary Health Care (PHC) coverage and achieving universal health coverage (UHC), especially in developing countries. Persian medicine (PM), an ancient form of TM, encompasses lifestyle principles known as "Hifz-o-Siha," which aim to maintain and improve health. This study seeks to explore whether lifestyle modifications based on PM can effectively promote health within the framework of PHC. Methods: We conducted searches across various databases, including Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Our search terms included Traditional medicine, Persian, Iranian, Health maintenance, Education, and Primary health care. Results: Three randomized clinical trials conducted between 2017 and 2019 examined the impact of educating individuals about PM's lifestyle principles on their quality of life and healthcare utilization. The results indicated significant improvements in all measured outcomes. Furthermore, six clinical trials focused on PM dietary modifications in the treatment of conditions such as obesity, infertility, nephrotic syndrome, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. In all these studies, PM diets demonstrated significant efficacy compared to conventional medicine.

Критерии, влияющие на выбор студентов вуза при самостоятельных занятиях оздоровительным бегом в зале или на улице

в наше время культ здоровья и беговой активность стали общепринятыми. Раньше встреча с бегущим пожилым человеком могла вызвать удивление у прохожих, а сейчас во взгляде можно уловить уважение и даже восхищение. Благодаря оздоровительному бегу, все системы нашего организма имеют положительный отклик. Движения, связанные с бегом, создают биомеханический эффект, благоприятно влияющий на здоровье. Ученый физиолог из Британии Арчибальд Хилл провел исследование анализа индекса VO2max, который показывает уровень аэробной выносливости спортсмена. Было выявлено, что результаты, полученные на беговом тренажере и на улице настолько небольшие, что их можно не брать в расчет. Это говорит о том, что индекс VO2max будет расти, не зависимо от того, где будет проходить тренировка [1]. Бег на открытом воздухе имеет ряд очевидных преимуществ перед закрытыми спортивными площадками, благодаря которым человек может поддерживать свою спортивную форму и здоровье на долгие годы. Несмотря на привлекательные условия тренировок на открытом воздухе, подавляющее большинство учащихся предпочитают более уютные условия для оздоровительных забегов. Так, 64% участников выбрали зал в качестве места для занятий, а 35% остались непреклонны в своих предпочтениях и выбрали улицу.

nowadays, the cult of health and running activity have become commonplace. Previously, a meeting with an elderly man running could cause surprise among passers-by, but now you can catch respect and even admiration in his gaze. Thanks to the wellness run, all the systems of our body have a positive response. Running-related movements create a biomechanical effect that has a beneficial effect on health. British physiologist Archibald Hill conducted a study analyzing the VO2max index, which shows the level of aerobic endurance of an athlete. It was revealed that the results obtained on the treadmill and on the street are so small that they can be ignored. This suggests that the VO2max index will grow regardless of where the training will take place [1]. Running outdoors has a number of obvious advantages over indoor sports grounds, thanks to which a person can maintain their fitness and health for many years. Despite the attractive outdoor training conditions, the vast majority of students prefer more comfortable conditions for wellness runs. Thus, 64% of the participants chose the gym as a place for classes, while 35% remained adamant in their preferences and chose the street.
