Published: May 2023

Using the solution of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation, the features of the excitation of a bound state of a particle in a one-dimensional rectangular quantum well of small depth by an extremely short light pulse are studied. The case of a shallow well with only one energy level is considered. In this case, the system is excited by an attosecond pulse whose duration is shorter than the characteristic time associated with the energy of the bound state of the particle in the well. It is shown that in this case the population of the bound state and the ionization probability are determined by the ratio of the electric area of the pulse to its atomic scale, which is inversely proportional to the well width. The calculation results showed that unipolar subcycle pulses with nonzero electric area can excite the system faster and more efficiently than bipolar pulses with zero area. The possibility of using unipolar gamma-ray pulses of zeptosecond duration for deuteron excitation is discussed, and numerical estimates of the required duration and electric area of the pulse are given. Keywords: extremely short pulses attosecond pulses, unipolar pulses, electric area of a pulse, atomic scale of electric area, one-dimensional quantum wells, nanostructures.

Published: May 2023

Generally, there found different types of people in our society, they are not alike. They are different from culture, ability and disability. In this society, there has been observed a gap in education among the person with disability and without disability. So, for filling this gap the need of an important education system realized. Thus, a novel education system emerged in the country which is called Inclusive Education. It is an environment or setting where children with disabilities and general children learn together. Inclusive Education is being implemented in various school in India at partial or complete levels and is proving to be highly beneficial to not only the challenged children but also to the regular or normal children because here is when they learn to live with differences, accept them, adapt themselves and most importantly live in harmony with them. So, in this study I am going to discuss the Approaches to Inclusion which helps the teacher to educate disabled children with normal ones and ways of ensuring community/parents participation in creating Inclusive schools.

Published: May 2023

Social media is one of the most used interactive communication tools in the current world. Almost every person above the age of ten years is operating an account of any social media platform. The study was guided by two objectives; to examine prevalence of social media use among secondary students and, to determine behavior displayed by the students as a result of social media use. The study was anchored on the social learning theory. A mixed-method research design was adopted. Purposive sampling was used to select 15 teacher counselors, while 392 students were selected using a simple random sampling. The study found that 97.4% of the secondary school students in Machakos Sub- County were regular social media users. The students preferred using WhatsApp, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook. The study also found that social media use inculcated both positive (60% ) and negative (40%) behaviors respectively. The study thus concluded a high prevalence of social media use among secondary school students in Machakos Sub-County. Based on these findings, the study recommends that school administrators should come up with stringent strategies to control the use of social media among secondary school students and, the Ministry of Education should develop policies for curbing the use and challenges associated with social media by secondary school students.

Consumer Perspectives for a Future Mobile App to Document Real-World Listening Difficulties: Qualitative Study (Preprint)
Authors: Galvin Karyn , Tomlin Dani , Timmer Barbra H B , McNeice Zoe , Mount Nicole , Gray Kathleen , Short Camille E
Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND

By enabling individuals with hearing loss to collect their own hearing data in their personal real-world settings, there is scope to improve clinical care, empower consumers, and support shared clinical decision-making and problem-solving. Clinician support for this approach has been established in a separate study.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to explore, for consumers with hearing loss, their (1) experiences of listening difficulties, to identify the data an app could usefully collect; (2) preferences regarding the features of mobile apps in general; and (3) opinions on the potential value and desirable features of a yet-to-be designed app for documenting listening difficulties in real-world settings.

METHODS

A total of 3 focus groups involved 27 adults who self-reported hearing loss. Most were fitted with hearing devices. A facilitator used a topic guide to generate discussion, which was video- and audio-recorded. Verbatim transcriptions were analyzed using inductive content analysis.

RESULTS

Consumers supported the concept of a mobile app that would facilitate the documenting of listening difficulties in real-world settings important to the individual. Consumers shared valuable insights about their listening difficulties, which will help determine the data that should be collected through an app designed to document these challenges. This information included early indicators of hearing loss (eg, mishearing, difficulty communicating in groups and on the phone, and speaking overly loudly) and prompts to seek hearing devices (eg, spousal pressure and the advice or example provided by others, and needing to rely on lipreading or to constantly request others to repeat themselves). It also included the well-known factors that influence listening difficulties (eg, reverberation, background noise, group conversations) and the impacts and consequences of their difficulties (eg, negative impacts on relationships and employment, social isolation and withdrawal, and negative emotions). Consumers desired a visual-based app that provided options for how data could be collected and how the user could enter data into an app, and which enabled data sharing with a clinician.

CONCLUSIONS

These findings provide directions for the future co-design and piloting of a prototype mobile app to provide data that are useful for increasing self-awareness of listening difficulties and can be shared with a clinician.
Smartphone-Assisted Medical Care for Vestibular Dysfunction as a Telehealth Strategy for Digital Therapy Beyond COVID-19: Scoping Review (Preprint)
Authors: Noda Masao , Kuroda Tatsuaki , Nomura Akihiro , Ito Makoto , Yoshizaki Tomokazu , Fushiki Hiroaki
Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND

Dizziness and vertigo can be caused by various factors, such as peripheral vestibular and central disorders. Although consultations with specialists are advisable when necessary, patients with severe vertigo symptoms may have limited mobility, which may interfere with hospital visits. The spread of COVID-19 has further limited the number of hospital visits for patients with dizziness; therefore, a method of medical care that enables more accurate treatment under time and geographical constraints is needed. Telemedicine has become widespread, owing to the popularity of smartphone and tablet devices in recent years, and the use of devices and systems has made it possible to provide efficient medical care. However, no previous scoping review has mapped existing studies on telemedicine for vertigo and dizziness, and no recommendations have been made regarding which devices and systems should be used for specific diseases.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this review was to map and assess previous studies on the use of information communications technology, smartphones, and apps for treating patients with vertigo and discuss the added value of introducing telemedicine to improve the quality of medical care and create an environment that builds security and trust among patients.

METHODS

A scoping review was conducted with the methodological framework of Arksey and O’Malley and in accordance with the of the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines. The PubMed, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched to retrieve previous reports on smartphone-assisted telemedicine treatment for vertigo published between January 2000 and May 2023. Two authors independently assessed eligibility and extracted data.

RESULTS

This review included 20 papers that reported devices or systems for telemedicine for vestibular dysfunction. Among studies that reported the use of a device or app, 2 were related to anamnesis and subjective symptoms, 12 were related to objective examination, 7 were related to remote diagnosis, and 7 were related to treatment and rehabilitation.

CONCLUSIONS

With the advancement of technology, the use of telemedicine in patients with dizziness may be feasible. In the future, it will be necessary to consider how telemedicine can be used in dizziness treatment and develop an effective treatment system combining in-person medical care and the effective use of devices for the management of severe vertigo and related diseases. The smooth introduction of telemedicine in vertigo treatment is expected to improve the quality of treatment, increase opportunities for patients to receive medical care, and reduce time and travel costs, leading to a sense of security and trust among patients.

Strategies Used in Learner Autonomy Development in English as a Foreign Language Learning among 9th Grade Students
Authors: Anh Vo Thuy , Tuyen Le Van
Published: May 2023

Recently, teaching and learning languages has largely and directly focused on students' ability to study independently. Therefore, it is necessary for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students to develop learner autonomy (LA) in learning. Conducting studies to explore the ability to study autonomously among secondary students is necessary. This study, hence, aimed to explore the 9th grade students’ perceptions of their strategies in LA development in learning EFL at a state-owned secondary school (SOSS) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The study involved 152 ninth graders. Both quantitative and qualitative data were obtained through the use of two instruments, namely the questionnaire and interviews. For analyzing the collected data, descriptive statistics and content analysis were employed. The findings of the study revealed that to develop LA, most students used strategies related to identifying learning needs and trying to achieve learning goals, and over half of them used such strategies as setting learning goals and making plans, applying learning strategies, and evaluating the learning process and outcomes. The study also made some recommendations for both teachers and students, as well as their families, with the aim of enhancing students’ LA in learning EFL. This study is expected to shed light on methods for language teaching and autonomy-based learning orientation.

Published: May 2023

Global public health is overwhelmed due to the ongoing Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19). As of October 2022, the causative virus SARS-CoV-2 and its multiple variants have infected more than 600 million confirmed cases and nearly 6.5 million fatalities globally. The main objective of this reported study is to understand the COVID-19 infection better from the chest X-ray (CXR) image database of COVID-19 cases from the dataset of CXR of normal, pneumonia and COVID-19 patients. Deep learning approaches like VGG-16 and LSTM models were used to classify images as normal, pneumonia and COVID-19 impacted by extracting the features. It has been observed during the COVID-19 pandemic peaks that large number of patients could not avail medical beds and were seen stranded outdoors. To address such health emergency situations with limited available bed and scarcity of expert physicians, computer-aided analysis could save precious lives through early screening and appropriate care. Such computer-based deep-learning strategy could help during future pandemics, especially when the available health resources and the need for preventive measures to take do not match the burden of a disease.
Measurement optimization of variational quantum simulation by classical shadow and derandomization
Authors: Nakaji Kouhei , Endo Suguru , Matsuzaki Yuichiro , Hakoshima Hideaki
Published: May 2023

Simulating large quantum systems is the ultimate goal of quantum computing. Variational quantum simulation (VQS) gives us a tool to achieve the goal in near-term devices by distributing the computation load to both classical and quantum computers. However, as the size of the quantum system becomes large, the execution of VQS becomes more and more challenging. One of the most severe challenges is the drastic increase in the number of measurements; for example, the number of measurements tends to increase by the fourth power of the number of qubits in a quantum simulation with a chemical Hamiltonian. This work aims to dramatically decrease the number of measurements in VQS by recently proposed shadow-based strategies such as classical shadow and derandomization. Even though previous literature shows that shadow-based strategies successfully optimize measurements in the variational quantum optimization (VQO), how to apply them to VQS was unclear due to the gap between VQO and VQS in measuring observables. In this paper, we bridge the gap by changing the way of measuring observables in VQS and propose an algorithm to optimize measurements in VQS by shadow-based strategies. Our theoretical analysis not only reveals the advantage of using our algorithm in VQS but theoretically supports using shadow-based strategies in VQO, whose advantage has only been given numerically. Additionally, our numerical experiment shows the validity of using our algorithm with a quantum chemical system.

Authors: Boghiu Emanuel-Cristian , Wolfe Elie , Pozas-Kerstjens Alejandro
Published: May 2023

We introduce Inflation, a Python library for assessing whether an observed probability distribution is compatible with a causal explanation. This is a central problem in both theoretical and applied sciences, which has recently witnessed significant advances from the area of quantum nonlocality, namely, in the development of inflation techniques. Inflation is an extensible toolkit that is capable of solving pure causal compatibility problems and optimization over (relaxations of) sets of compatible correlations in both the classical and quantum paradigms. The library is designed to be modular and with the ability of being ready-to-use, while keeping an easy access to low-level objects for custom modifications.
Comparative inter-country analysis of assessment of the effectiveness of state housing policy: statistical instruments
Authors: Mirgorodskaya Elena , Wiegand Dietmar , Novoselova Irina
Published: May 2023

The article provides a comparative analysis of assessment of the effectiveness of housing policies in Austria, Germany and Russia in the context of the adequate housing concept. In modern world management practice, there is no universal set of criteria for assessing the housing policy effectiveness, however, there are sets of indicators in the public information resources of these countries that can reflect such an assessment. The only problem is information asymmetry, in which each country forms its own set of estimated indicators, which leads to their incomparability. At that, the need for such data exists in connection with the need to update the current results of the housing policy implementation and the assessment of current trends in the housing sector development.

Each country has its own mechanism for assessing the effectiveness of housing policy, based on its own set of parameters corresponding to the determined goals and directions of the housing sector development.

Adequate housing as a criterion for assessing the effectiveness of the housing policy implementation allows a full demonstration of the effectiveness of measures implemented by the state in the housing sector.

The concept of adequate housing, as an actual doctrine of the national development of the housing sector, allows for a comparative analysis of the housing policy of different countries by assessing and comparing the effects of its implementation.

According to the study of housing policy in Austria, Germany and Russia, it was determined that the national model of housing policy evolves in the development of concepts, goals, implementation mechanism and depends both on the level of satisfaction of the need for housing, and on historical experience, traditions and socio-economic characteristics of management at this stage.

Published: May 2023

In the context of rapid urbanization and urban population growth, cities enjoy particular attention in the spatial development agenda. The complexity of searching for promising city-forming factors, as well as insufficient investments into the development process do not allow to found new cities in Russia. At the same time, the experience of a number of foreign countries shows that solving this problem is not only feasible, but also cost-effective. Researchers, specializing in urban planning, architects and urbanists offer various development models for urban areas, agglomerations, and urbanized territories. However, in most of their works, the issue of the amount of financing required for the basic infrastructure in such territories remains unexplored. The co-authors formulate the principles of economic and urban planning modeling of cities in an effort to clarify the concept of “urbanized territories”. The proposed criteria for scenario transitions, that accompany the development of urbanized territories, will allow to use the available resources more efficiently. As recommended by the co-authors, the distribution of costs among the main subjects of formation of an urbanized territory on the basis of principal infrastructure blocks will prevent any excessive pressure on the country’s budget system. As a result of the cost modeling focused on the development of an urbanized territory with the population of 500 thousand people, it has turned out that the per-resident investment amount, needed to found a new settlement, reaches about 7.16 million.

Published: May 2023

A trade-off between allocated resources for photosynthesis and stress
tolerance is generally observed in nature. Thus, the search for outlier
species breaking this trend is an interesting approach to identity new
mechanisms for plant breeding purposes. Hypothetically, outlier
extremophyte species present a distinctive arrangement of physiological
functions that favor stress tolerance mechanisms without jeopardizing
investment allocation into photosynthesis. We explored this trade-off,
analyzing twenty-one plant species for desiccation tolerance, and
photosynthetic capacity, under the extreme arid environments of the
Atacama Desert and the Surire Salar in the Chilean Altiplano. Most of
the studied species followed the trade-off tendency, however, we did
find one outlier species, Prosopis tamarugo. To study the
mechanisms involved in this atypical response, the Prosopis genus
was analyzed more deeply. Our results suggest that the outlier response
of P. tamarugo is multifactorial. This species presented a high
photochemistry activity, associated with a higher synthesis of
chlorophylls, photoprotective pigments, and complex antioxidant
molecules. Moreover, the synthesis of no-nitrogen osmoprotectant
molecules, such as ciceritol and mannitol in P. tamarugo, would
allow the allocation of nitrogen to support its high photosynthetic
capacity, without compromising its leaf desiccation stress tolerance.

Adaptation and Mismatch Negativity (MMN): Comparing First vs. Subsequent Repetitions in a Roving EEG Paradigm with Minimized Expectations
Authors: Wong Brian W. L. , Huo Shuting , Maurer Urs
Published: May 2023

Adaptation is defined as reduced neural activation following repeated
stimulus presentation. While previous EEG studies used either one
repetition or multiple repetitions to elicit adaptation in event-related
potentials (ERP), it is unclear whether adaptation differs between
initial and subsequent repetitions. In addition, multiple repetitions
were used in mismatch negativity (MMN) experiments to measure deviance
detection, but how adaptation contributes to the MMN remains unclear.
Therefore, in the current study, 37 healthy adults participated in an
EEG experiment with a pure tone roving paradigm and a random stimulus
arrangement to minimize expectations. The amplitudes and latencies were
traced along with the first ten tones in different components of the
auditory ERP, including P1, N1, and P2, to examine the relationship
between adaptation and the number of repetitions. Results showed a
slight increasing adaptation effect in the P1, an L-shaped adaptation in
the N1 with a large decrease after the first repetition, and a
continuous, linear amplitude increase in the P2, possibly indicating
memory trace formation. Regression results showed that the peak
amplitudes of the N1 initial adaptation and the P2 subsequent adaptation
significantly explained the variance in the MMN amplitude. The results
indicate distinct adaptation patterns for multiple repetitions in
different components and suggest that the MMN combines two processes as
indicated by the initial adaptation in the N1 and a continuous memory
trace effect in the P2. Separating the two processes may be relevant for
models of cognitive processing and clinical disorders.
Thermal-hydraulic analysis of light water reactors under different steady-state operating conditions, Part 1: Boiling water reactor
Authors: Hutli Ezddin , Kridan Ramadan
Published: May 2023

The steady-state thermal-hydraulic analysis of the core of the Boiling Water
Reactor (BWR/6) at nominal operating conditions is presented in this paper.
The BWR/6 is produced by General Electric USA. The analysis' goal is to keep
the thermal safety margin under control and the core integrity intact under
steady-state operating conditions. The effects of operating conditions such
as power distribution, power level, and coolant mass flow rate on the pro-
posed core's performance are investigated. For this purpose, the
one-dimensional computer code MITH was used. The code's reliability was
tested using the General Electric benchmark 3579 MW reactor. Two-channel
models were tested (the average and the hot channel). Ther- mal-hydraulic
parameters such as fuel-centerline, fuel-surface, outer clad surface and
coolant temperature, critical and actual local heat flux, critical and
minimum critical heat flux ratio and pressure drop are evaluated along the
tested channels. Temperatures, as well as actual and critical heat flux
distribution profiles, were obtained. The tested operating conditions had a
significant influence on these parameters, and also on the thermal-hydraulic
performance. The obtained results are in good agreement with the data from
the tested core. The obtained results are well within the safety margins.
The good agreement between tested reactor data and MITH code calculation
concerning the reactor demonstrates the reliability of the analysis
methodology from a thermal-hydraulic perspective.
POSTER TIGA RONDE: AN APPRAISAL ANALYSIS OF NEGATIVE COMMENTS ON TWITTER
Authors: Zulfa Nadiyah , Herliani Indah Kurnia
Published: May 2023

This paper discusses the negative comments on the tweets attacking the "tiga ronde'' poster during the student protest on April 11, 2022, that went viral on Twitter. This is a qualitative study, using the appraisal theory as an analytical method. The data collection is carried out by taking random tweets within the discourse of poster “tiga ronde”, which are then sorted into ten tweets as the appraising items. The appraising items were translated from Indonesian to English. We then looked for the word with the closest pragmatic meaning to the translated word in the semantic resources of the appraisal framework. Lastly, we categorized whether the appraising word is classified into effect, judgment, or appreciation. The study aims to understand the attitude of those negative comments. It is presumed that the intended meaning of the comments, whether it is an effect, judgment on the poster creator, or appreciation of the poster can give a better understanding of why they are used to attack the poster. The study reveals that a lot of anonymous accounts give judgment towards the creator’s behavior rather than appreciating the poster or expressing their feelings about the phenomenon.

Published: May 2023

This article aims to reveal the optimization of option rights in realizing or stopping e-commerce transactions to achieve justice due to several problems in e-commerce transactions, including no meeting of two people who transact and no goods at that time. The results of the study reveal that the component of option rights (khiyar) focuses on an option due to damage/defect, where the damage can harm or oppress the parties, and the right to vote is a preventive alternative so that the parties feel comfortable and justice is realized in every transaction. Likewise, in the maqashid al sharia analysis, option rights (khiyar) have a very strategic role in maintaining the interests, transparency, benefit, and willingness of both parties to conduct transactions and protect them from harm and loss for all parties. This shows concern for justice in transactions as an effort for the common good to protect the rights of the parties. Strengthening regulations through laws and regulations needs to be carried out as a preventive effort to prevent acts of bad faith by one of the parties to provide a sense of security in transactions between the parties.
