Authors: Bashari Kabiru
Published: December 2023

The aim of the study is to find out whether guidance services have impact on students’ awareness of HIV/AIDS in tertiary institutions in Jigawa state. The study used descriptive survey design; the population of the study consists of fifteen thousand four hundred and seventy-two (15,472) students in six tertiary institutions under the Ministry of Education Science and Technology (MOEST) Jigawa state. 375 used as sample size for the study which drawn from the population of tertiary institutions based on the provision of Krejcie and Morgan table (1971), simple random sampling technique was used in selecting two tertiary institutions. While the instrument used in collecting data was researcher developed questionnaire (QSAHA) in form of four point likert scale, rating from 4, 3, 2 and 1 as basis for scoring. It was accepted to be valid and reliable for administration. Three research questions and three hypotheses were tested and statically analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-test of independent sample at 0.05 level of significant. The findings of the study revealed that male students indicated positive awareness unlike their female counterpart and also students came from rural areas are more aware of HIV/AIDS infection than their urban counterpart. However, students that offered arts courses were positively aware of HIV/AIDS than their counterpart offering science courses. Many implications from the guidance services were drawn from the findings of the research prior to the findings it was recommended that; enlightenment campaign and career talks should be offered to female students due to the habit of shyness in the issue of awareness. It was also recommended that further researchers may conduct relevant research that correlate the relationship on the spread of HIV/AIDS between commercial sex workers and infected married women in the north-west zone of the state.

La Educación Financiera de los Estudiantes Universitarios de Contaduría Pública: un Estudio de Caso
Authors: Roque Hernández Ramón Ventura , Medina Rentería José Luis , Ortega Cervantes Gabriela
Published: December 2023

En la sociedad moderna, la educación financiera, entendida como el conjunto de conocimientos y habilidades para comprender y utilizar las finanzas apropiadamente, se vuelve cada vez más necesaria.  El presente artículo tuvo los objetivos de caracterizar y diferenciar la educación financiera de los estudiantes universitarios de contaduría pública en función de su género y su estado laboral actual.  Se aplicó un cuestionario electrónico a 100 estudiantes de un programa educativo de Contaduría Pública en una universidad pública estatal en México. Se encontró evidencia que sugiere que los hombres podrían tener puntuaciones mayores en aspectos relacionados con conocimiento y conducta financieros. Sin embargo, se requiere más investigación para determinarlo. En el caso de las diferencias encontradas por el estado laboral actual, se pudo establecer que los participantes que más se comunican con sus padres al atravesar por crisis financieras son aquellos que no tienen empleo. La educación financiera, al ser un tema de alta incidencia en la vida de las personas, debería promoverse con mayor intensidad en la vida estudiantil. Esto propiciaría finanzas más saludables entre el estudiantado. No obstante, este planteamiento requiere desarrollarse más para concretar un programa de alfabetización financiera para todos los alumnos universitarios sin importar su especialidad.

El cuidado humanizado es un elemento esencial para lograr la promoción del bienestar durante los procesos de atención dentro de los sistemas de salud. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar la percepción del cuidado humanizado del personal de enfermería en cuidados intermedios del Hospital General de Macas. Para ello, se llevó a cabo una metodología con enfoque  cuali-cuantitativo de tipo descriptivo con una población de 14 profesionales de enfermería que laboran en la Unidad de Cuidados Intermedios del Hospital General de Macas. Con respecto a los resultados, el 43% de los profesionales de enfermería tienen un alto nivel de cuidado humanizado, el 29% posee un nivel bajo y un 28% restante tiene un nivel mediano. Además, todos los profesionales enfermeros entrevistados consideraron que el trato humano en el cuidado del paciente crítico es importante porque tienen necesidades físicas, psicológicas, sociales, emocionales y espirituales. En conclusión, la percepción de enfermería sobre los cuidados humanizados brindados en pacientes de terapia intensiva se evidenció una problemática, puesto que aún se puede ver que los profesionales enfermeros de la terapia intensiva rigen su trabajo de manera técnico-científica y algo mecanizada, ignorando muchas veces el aspecto humano y afectando sus relaciones con los pacientes.

The concept of a non-self-propelled individual ferry
Authors: Gordleeva Irina Y. , Ushakov Egor V.
Published: December 2023

Within the framework of the general concept of the development of water transport and coastal infrastructure, a justification is given for the need to operate individual ferry crossings on small and main rivers of Russia. A cartographic study of transport links through rivers and their catastrophic shortage in comparison with demand has been carried out. A completely new concept of a ferry crossing for one car has been proposed. The driving mechanism of the ferry movement from the driving pair of wheels of the car with different variants of propellers and control systems has been developed. The overall and displacement parameters of the vessel are determined according to the requirements of small-size shipbuilding. In the Compass-3D package, a three-dimensional model of the ferry, all working units of the mechanism and control was created, and the mass-centering characteristics were calculated. A comparative assessment of the mechanical parameters of the presented propellers was carried out: the screw-steering column and the paddle wheels. Mechanisms with manual and automated control modes are described and compared.
On the issue of carrying out mooring tests of a ship power plant in shallow water conditions
Authors: Bogatyreva Elena V.
Published: December 2023

In the process of mooring trials, as well as when ships are sailing in shallow water, difficulties often arise in ensuring normal operating conditions for the propulsion complex, the performance of the power plant and the ship as a whole. The article outlines the problems during mooring tests in shallow water. Mooring tests of a large-tonnage tanker in shallow water conditions are considered, when the operation of the main circulation pump of the cooling system is disrupted due to contamination of the flow path of the main condenser with soil particles. The economic inexpediency of testing a tanker at sea when it is anchored or barreled in an area that is safe for navigation and has sufficient water depth is substantiated. The method of taking cooling water from above with the help of a caisson is considered, which eliminated unproductive costs. A method of mooring a ship is given, in which the water jet from the propeller does not harm the berthing facilities and does not erode the soil of the water area; the means of simulating the nominal parameters of the actuators are described, which makes it possible to carry out mooring tests of mechanisms, systems and devices without bringing the main power plant to the mode of increased loads, and, as a result, to reduce the testing time.

Author's studies of cross-border transportation (Omsk Region - Republic of Kazakhstan) by inland water transport, based on data from the Siberian Customs Administration, materials from the archives of PJSC Irtysh Shipping Company, and FBU Administration Voltyshvodput, were presented. A retrospective analysis of the development of transboundary territories in terms of transported goods of various nomenclature for a certain period was carried out. The stages of the development of cargo transportation of the Omsk region - Kazakhstan cross-border territory from the middle of the XX-XXI centuries were determined. Possible directions for the development of transboundary territories have been identified. A number of limitations have been identified that make it difficult to investigate individual issues. The need to increase the share of water transport in the total volume of transported goods is indicated, taking into account the emerging positive trends in the field of cooperation with other countries.
The application of Erlang model for process simulation of boundary monitoring of ships proceeding through the Kerch-Yenikalsky Strait
Authors: Sviatskii Vitalii V.
Published: December 2023

This article investigates the peculiarities of the Kerch-Yenikalsky Channel (KEC) passage. The Kerch Strait is one of the most intensively used sea routes in the Russian Federation, which results in a constant flow of ships and requires organized traffic.

The Kerch Strait throughput capacity was calculated from statistical data on the number of vessels that pass through it on a daily basis. The number of vessels passing through the Kerch Strait increases noticeably every year.

The increase in the number of vessels passing through the Strait creates additional problems related to safety of navigation and environmental sustainability of the region. For example, an increase in the number of ships can lead to an increased probability of collisions and accidents, as well as to the deterioration of the environmental situation in the area of the strait.

In this paper, an algorithm is developed and the factors affecting the KEC passage process are analyzed. The Erlang model is used as a model. This model allows to carry out simulation modeling of the process of customs control providing quantitative data. To build the model, statistical processing of data on the passage of customs control was performed. As a result of simulation modeling the following results were obtained:

1.The maximum throughput capacity of a given control section was determined;

2.Calculated the optimal composition of the customs control vessels.
Energy-saving installation of a river vessel
Authors: Timofeev Vitaly N. , Salakhov Ilyas R. , Kutepova Liudmila M. , Grechko Nikolay V.
Published: December 2023

This article relates to diesel engineering and can be used by design organizations and river fleet vessels in operation. The device of the energy-saving installation of a river vessel uses a heat pump with a high-temperature two-stage compressor and an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). In a two-stage compressor, the temperature of the low-boiling substance reaches 100°C. Further, this steam is condensed in the ORC condenser, while the coolant is heated to 95-98°C and the resulting coolant is distributed through a three-way valve: part of the coolant flow enters the heating object, the other part of the coolant enters the ORC evaporator through a three-way valve, where heat exchange with a low-boiling substance takes place. The resulting high-pressure steam then enters the turbine. In this case, the steam turbine is driven with a generator and electrical energy is generated. The proposed energy-saving installation can be used by river vessels during cargo operations and forced stops, during which the power plant: the main marine diesel engine, diesel generator and auxiliary boiler plant are inoperative, which leads to significant fuel savings of the ship power plant.

Published: December 2023

As a complex of material and spiritual, space and society, the university campus is a relatively complex environment. This paper investigated the effectiveness of the third generation of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) in reducing crime and enhancing security within educational institutions. The third generation of CPTED emphasizes the integration of advanced technologies, such as access control systems, intelligent sensors and alarms, emergency communication systems, data analysis, and predictive policing, using advanced technologies to enhance security measures on university campuses. This paper aimed to explore the current security level of the university campus, interpret the principle of the third generation CPTED to reduce the crime rate on college campuses and propose a security strategy based on the third generation CPTED for the university campus. The research method of this paper was qualitative, conducting semi-structured interviews with campus security personnel, university administrators, university teachers, and staff of the Universiti Sains Malaysia, using NVivo software, and using thematic analysis methods for data analysis. The findings suggest that traditional campus security measures may not fully address the evolving security challenges facing modern universities. Participants expressed concern about inadequate lighting, limited surveillance coverage, and inadequate emergency response systems. The results of this paper emphasize the technical application of the third generation CPTED, thereby highlighting the practice of the third generation CPTED in university campus security, proposing the basic strategy of a smart campus, and establishing a mobile phone application on the terminal. Strong use of technology to facilitate real-time communications, incident reporting, and emergency response to enhance campus security and ultimately improve the overall security of the university campus.

Digital health is plagued by low interest and adherence, but research suggests improvements are possible. Non-health care, for-profit digital enterprises like LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook undertake behavioural experiments to enhance user engagement. Today, everyone is impacted by commercial determinants of health, and the selection of unhealthy options compounds economic, social, and racial disparities that already exist. However, healthcare providers tend to prioritize pharmacological approaches at the expense of influencing patients’ actions. Thus, it is crucial to ensure that artificial intelligence (AI) is integrated as well as applied within the systems to improve related fields. Both Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) have indexed the previously examined body of work in their respective databases. This review is going to be divided into three different themes: (1) health, (2) education, and (3) other fields. This paper aims to analyse the existing data or outcomes via analysis, categorization, comparison, and summary. It also may uncover research gaps and explore field possibilities. This review included English-language research and literature from 2022. This study summarises current approaches of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in leading behavioural change from different fields of literature.

Mobile payment usage must be maintained for mobile wallet companies to survive. Long-term user relationships can assist businesses in lowering costs and increasing profitability to retain customers which ultimately will lead to continuance intention. Despite M-wallets' relative maturity, a study in this sector has been limited to first acceptance/rejection. No study has particularly evaluated the technology's post-adoption impacts. Existing studies mostly examine the initial adoption of mobile wallet users and their antecedents. Though many people use M-wallets regularly, consistency is rare. Thus, both academic researchers and practitioners must investigate mobile wallet users' continued usage behaviour. This research conducts a thorough evaluation of the systematic review of literature on M-wallet continuous usage intentions from 2011 to 2021. The authors of this study employed systematic review methods to analyse the current state of continuous usage of M-wallet research. They identified current research streams and offered ideas for future research. The review identified the Geographic representation of mobile wallet continuous usage research, methodological approaches to investigate continuous usage intention of m-wallets, and popular theories adopted to investigate continuance intention. Through research synthesis, predictors and moderators/mediators of mobile wallets were also identified. The authors then discovered various service quality characteristics that demonstrated how trust, flow, and satisfaction—which have primarily been studied—had a direct impact on behavioural intentions as a result of service quality. The authors recommend the direction of potential future research in mobile wallets. This paper is a systematic review of the continuance usage of mobile wallets based on the dimensions of service quality and is one of the very few papers to offer a systematic review of continuous usage.

Lung cancer stands as the foremost contributor to cancer-related fatalities on a global scale, holding the highest mortality rates for both males and females. Tobacco consumption is responsible for approximately 85% of all instances of lung cancer, making it the primary contributor to the disease. Frequently, cancer of the lungs is diagnosed in its advanced stages, limiting treatment options. The screening of individuals at a high risk of developing the disease has the potential to facilitate early detection and significantly enhance survival rates. Regrettably, the statistics remain disheartening because the vast majority of cases are not identified until later stages. Over the past thirty years, medical professionals have explored various approaches to screen individuals deemed to be at a heightened risk of increasing cancer in lung. Apart from fact that CT screening has been shown to lower mortality, there are still issues that lead to unclear diagnosis, needless procedures, financial expenditures, and more. Deep Learning methodologies and tools for data analysis and computing are now widely available. These technical advances will be referenced to and utilised in the research to construct prediction models to anticipate the presence of lung cancer in a patient at an early stage. The pictures are pre-processed with the Wiener filter in this proposed method. Following that, pre-processed CT images are segmented with GAN, which is trained using SSSOA (salp shuffled shepherd optimization method), and the segmented output pictures are classified using CNN model VGG16. The F1-score, accuracy, precision, and sensitivity of the various models are compared and evaluated. The VGG16 model predicts lung cancer with great accuracy (97%).

La pandemia, en diversos sectores económicos, provocó desequilibrios sociales y económicos de forma directa e indirecta, como en la actividad turística, cuya trascendencia, permanencia y profundidad aún se están analizando. Es el caso de Santiago de Compostela, uno de los tres centros de peregrinación del cristianismo con más visitas a nivel mundial. El objetivo fue analizar la adaptación ante el cambio disruptivo o crisis del destino turístico, con el fin de identificar criterios esenciales que caractericen iniciativas positivas, adaptativas y resilientes. La metodología fue cualitativa, con enfoque de percepción de expertos a partir de la revisión documental de fuentes secundarias (medios de comunicación, planes, programas, informes e iniciativas públicas). Santiago registró un descenso de peregrinos de hasta el 80% en las rutas, las personas que quedaron sin empleo llego a 444.7, la facturación hotelera fue -78,9%. Las respuestas institucionales apostaron por aplicar protocolos sanitarios, planes de sostenibilidad, insertar innovación (congresos virtuales, audioguías), digitalización para promover el consumo, estrategias innovadoras de comunicación y promoción, constituir una cadena de valor, diversificar el modelo de negocio, emitir bonificaciones tributarias y apoyo financiero. Santiago mostró una evolución positiva a corto plazo, y se espera que a largo plazo las acciones logren mitigar los efectos económicos y sociales causados por la pandemia.

Rivers Solomon’s
Sorrowland
(2021) can be read as a Gothic novel about Black trauma, and while this is certainly true, such an assessment overlooks its anarchist dimension and emancipatory potential. As articulated by Solomon, Black anarchism overcomes the limitations of white, European anarchism from within by contesting its attachment to the dualisms of modernity: as in New Materialist philosophies, the boundaries between human and nonhuman, and living and dead matter, are blurred. Through its queer Black protagonist, Vern, and her alliance with her Indigenous lover, Gogo,

The Design Unraveling
Authors: Faison Elisa
Published: December 2023

Louise Erdrich’sFuture Home of the Living God(2017) imagines a future in which an evolutionary crisis threatens humanity. Bacteria released from melting permafrost have caused fauna to regress to past evolutionary stages, and human beings are either miscarrying or birthing “previous hominins.” Members of the novel’s older (wealthy, white) generation decry the crisis as the end of the aesthetic: “There goes literary fiction!” For them, evolutionary atavism can only lead to stunted artistic projects. Erdrich’s protagonist, Cedar, a newly pregnant Ojibwe woman, believes that her pregnancy with a likely nonhuman child portends not the end of the world but a fruitful new beginning for forms of life—and, by extension—forms of art. This paper considers how and why Erdrich depicts the baby as allegorizing the aesthetic, tying the future of the (non)human to the future of the literary. Throughout, Erdrich portrays Cedar’s pregnancy as linked to her handwriting the epistolary novel. Her body is also described as having been “coded” with long-forgotten evolutionary information. Pregnancy, in the novel, is presented as haphazardly salvaging something biologically valuable from the past and repurposing it for the future. Central to this paper is the argument that Erdrich’s novel formally mimics the biological recycling she thematizes, positing altered forms of disorderly, literary beauty for a nonhuman (and notably nonwhite, anticapitalistic) future.
Stars Bisected by Relativistic Blades
Authors: DuPont Marcus , MacFadyen Andrew
Published: December 2023

We consider the dynamics of an equatorial explosion powered by a millisecond magnetar formed from the core collapse of a massive star. We study whether these outflows—generated by a priori magneto-centrifugally driven, relativistic magnetar winds—might be powerful enough to produce an ultrarelativistic blade (“lamina”) that successfully carves its way through the dense stellar interior. We present high-resolution numerical special-relativistic hydrodynamic simulations of axisymmetric centrifugally driven explosions inside a star and follow the blast wave propagation just after breakout. We estimate the engine requirements to produce ultrarelativistic lamina jets and comment on the physicality of the parameters considered. We find that sufficiently collimated—half-opening angle θ

The various phases of these ultrathin outflows, such as collimation shocks, Kelvin–Helmholtz instabilities, and lifetime, are discussed, and we speculate on the observational signatures echoed by this outflow geometry.

Published: December 2023

In the event of a potentially catastrophic asteroid impact, with sufficient warning time, deploying a nuclear device remains a powerful option for planetary defense if a kinetic impactor or other means of deflection proves insufficient. Predicting the effectiveness of a potential nuclear deflection or disruption mission depends on accurate multiphysics simulations of the device's X-ray energy deposition into the asteroid and the resulting material ablation. The relevant physics in these simulations span many orders of magnitude, require a variety of different complex physics packages, and are computationally expensive. Having an efficient and accurate way of modeling this system is necessary for exploring a mission's sensitivity to the asteroid's range of physical properties. To expedite future simulations, we present a completed X-ray energy deposition model developed using the radiation-hydrodynamics code Kull that can be used to initiate a nuclear mitigation mission calculation. The model spans a wide variety of possible mission initial conditions: four different asteroid-like materials at a range of porosities, two different source spectra, and a broad range of radiation fluences, source durations, and angles of incidence. Using blowoff momentum as the primary metric, the model-initiated simulation results match the full radiation-hydrodynamics results to within 10%.

Charged domain walls (CDWs) in ferroelectric materials raise both fundamental and practical interest due to their electrophysical properties differing from bulk ones. On a microstructure level, CDWs in ferroelectrics are 2D defects separating regions with different spontaneous polarization vector directions. Screening of electric field of the CDW's bound ionic charges by mobile carriers leads to the formation of elongated narrow channels with an elevated conductivity in initially dielectric materials. Controlling the position and inclination angle of CDW relative to the spontaneous polarization direction, one can change its conductivity over a wide range thus providing good opportunities for developing memory devices, including neuromorphic systems. This review describes the state of art in the formation and application of CDWs in single crystal uniaxial ferroelectric lithium niobate (LiNbO3, LN), as resistive and memristive switching devices. The main CDWs formation methods in single crystal and thin-film LN have been described, and modern data have been presented on the electrophysical properties and electrical conductivity control methods of CDWs. Prospects of CDWs application in resistive and memristive switching memory devices have been discussed.
An Overview of Health Care Spending Patterns in the United States: Using National Data Sources to Explore Trends in Nursing Services
Authors: Sochalski Julie , Patrician Patricia
Published: December 2023

National health care spending trends have been tracked through the federal governmental for much of the latter half of the 20th century. A review of these spending trends illustrates not only health care's contribution to the overall national economy, but more importantly it allows us to assess our priorities for spending that money. Nursing has long sought information about the "cost" of its care, at the micro-level, and has desired to articulate its share of national expenditures, at the macro-level. This quest has been fueled largely by the profession's desire to more accountably argue the value of its services. This article reviews national health expenditure trends, and explores how the analysis of these trends can be used to shape nursing's own research agenda for assessing the value of its services.

Patients who receive care from community health agencies such as home care agencies present some special ethical challenges to clinicians and administrators by virtue of the setting for care and the decision-making capacity of the patient. Administrators need to consider their ethical obligations and responsibilities just as clinicians do. Administrators make decisions and develop policies that have consequences for the well-being of both patients and employees. Selected ethical concepts, principles, and values are described that can assist administrators in the reflection that is required for making decisions and developing ethically supportable policies in situations where there is often disagreement and no ready-made answers exist.

Published: December 2023

High print journal subscription costs, access to desktop publishing software, and awareness of Internet capability are among several reasons that interest in the electronic publishing of scholarly journals is increasing rapidly. The economic considerations of electronic publishing are not as familiar, however, although the fingertip accessibility of electronic journals, and in some cases, the lack of subscription charges gives the impression that electronic journal publishing is a much less costly means of publishing. Such an impression receives qualified confirmation in this article as an overview of the costs of scholarly publishing is provided, and the costs of print and electronic journals are compared. Also addressed are ways to recover costs of publishing electronic journals, and predictions for the future of such journals.
Genetic Testing and Mental Health: The Model of Huntington Disease
Authors: Williams Janet , Schutte Debra
Published: December 2023

Genetic aspects of mental health disorders are being identified through human genome and family research. Gene discovery makes diagnostic and presymptomatic testing possible. The discovery of a gene mutation for Huntington Disease (HD) enables at-risk persons to request presymptomatic genetic testing. When HD genetic testing is offered through HD testing centers, a multi-visit protocol is followed in which education and counseling are provided for persons considering the option to have HD gene testing. A case study illustrates the clinical and ethical issues regarding privacy and disclosure as well as the personal and family consequences of gene mutation knowledge. Analysis of the impact of genetic knowledge on persons being tested for HD provides a model for the integration of emerging genetic information into mental health nursing practice for other mental health disorders.

Published: December 2023

Amidst the rapid advancements in big data and internet technologies, profound transformations have been witnessed in modern societal and economic structures. Vocational education, a pivotal component within the educational domain, faces challenges in course design and optimization. While the majority of existing research focuses on utilizing educational technology to optimize courses, most methodologies still rely on traditional data analysis and mining techniques, with little exploration of deep learning and big data technologies. This research proposes a novel strategy for course design and optimization. Initially, the course theme optimization is addressed through a short text clustering algorithm that utilizes a linear fusion of the biterm topic model (BTM) and global vectors for word representation (GloVe) similarity. Subsequently, course content is planned using a deep interest network (DIN) recommendation algorithm in conjunction with the gated recurrent unit (GRU) time series model. This study provides the vocational education sector with a new perspective on course design and optimization, which has important theoretical and practical implications.

This research investigated metal injection moulding of dental pins for orthodontics application. 316L stainless steel powder was selected as an alternative low-cost material in comparison to the more expensive titanium alloy counterpart. The feedstock was prepared at 60% solid loading using an environmentally friendly multi-component binder. Injection moulding was operated using a four-cavity mould. The effects of moulding temperature of 250-280 °C measured at the barrel on mouldability, and specimen properties were studied. After debinding, specimens were sintered at 1250 °C for 2 hours in a hydrogen atmosphere. Experimental results indicated that injection at moulding lower temperature of 250-260 °C gave better mouldability, providing less specimen distortion and demoulding difficulty. The green density was 5.49 g/cm3, giving 93.41% theoretical density. Injection at lower temperature of 250-260 °C also provided higher sintered density and slightly lower volume shrinkage. Sintered microstructure experienced densification with small degree of isolated porosity in specimen center, however with interconnected porosity along specimen edges, responsible for 6.87 g/cm3 sintered density (86.01% theoretical density).
