Limited access to improved drinking water, unimproved drinking water, and toilet facilities among households in Ethiopia: Spatial and mixed effect analysis
Authors: Belay Daniel Gashaneh , Andualem Zewdu
Published: April 2022

Background

Most people in sub-Saharan countries had limited drinking water services and toilet facilities. The collection of water can affect the health of the whole family, particularly children. Therefore this study aims to investigate determinants of limited access to drinking water services and spatial distributions of limited access to drinking water services, unimproved drinking water sources, and toilet facilities among households in Ethiopia.

Method

Cross-sectional collected secondary data analysis was conducted based on the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS). A mixed-effect logistic regression model was used for analysis. The total weighted sample of 10, 183 households was included in the analysis. The study population is comprised of all households who had recorded the time taken to fetch improved drinking water during the survey. The primary outcome of this study is the proportion of households that have limited access to drinking water services. Whereas the secondary outcomes are determinants of limited access to drinking water services and spatial distributions of limited drinking water services, unimproved drinking water sources, and toilet facilities among households in Ethiopia.

Results

In this study, 39.74% [95% CI: 38.79, 40.69] of households in Ethiopia had limited access to drinking water services. This proportion ranges from 2.64% in Addis Ababa to 57.35% in the Somali region. Household head, education, residence, and regions were associated with limited access to drinking water services. The spatial analysis showed that the eastern part of Amhara, Afar and the Somali region predicted the highest limited drinking water services. The unimproved drinking water source was detected in the Central part of Amhara, Somalia regions. Almost all regions except Addis Ababa and Diredewa predicted the highest prevalence of unimproved toilet facilities.

Conclusion

Access to improved drinking water is relatively poor throughout Ethiopia, with some regions experiencing more limited access than others. From individual level variables age, educational level, and sex household head, whereas from community level variables residences, and region were factors significantly associated with access to limited drinking water services. The spatial analysis confirmed that there are inequalities in unimproved drinking water sources, and toilet facilities between regions in Ethiopia. The government of Ethiopia should work to increase the accessibility of improved drinking water at the national level and to narrow the gap in its accessibility between urban and rural residences and between regions. Accessibility to drinking water programs should focus on the disadvantaged group such as non-educated, male head households and living rural residences. All stalk holders should work to improve the quality of drinking water and sanitation facilities.

Adsorption of Gas Molecules on HfSSe Janus Monolayer
Authors: Witwit Ghufran Falah Ibrahim
Published: April 2022

The density functional theory (DFT) method have already been used to study the electronic, optical and the adsorption properties of (CO, CO2, NO, NO2, SO2) gas molecules on HfSSe (Se and S) monolayer. Initially, the properties of pristine HfSSe monolayer are calculated. The band gap of HfSSe (Se and S) monolayer is estimated to be 0.626eV which authorize the semiconducting behavior. The results show that the adsorption of gases occurs at different sites on the studied monolayer. However, every the adsorption energies are negatives and the adsorption of gas molecules on this monolayer undergoes physisorption interaction, thus they can be used to detecting gas molecules. The refractive indices of HfSSe-S monolayer are larger than that in HfSSe-Se monolayer, and reach to 2.50 and 2.31 of CO2 and SO2gases, approximately. On the opposite, the reflection peaks of the monolayer occur in the UV region range which agrees with the absorption coefficient. Besides, the maximum value of reflectivity in the adsorbed systems does not exceed 60%.

Authors: Abdullah Zaleha , Girei Mohammed Musa
Published: April 2022

Modern pedagogy needs to prepare an innovative type of students than those fostered all the way through. Technology Scaffolding in Problem-based Learning (PBL) environment is a learner-centred approach that has the potential to foster student’s independent study through effective communication, collaboration, and student student-teacher interaction. These instructional activities can reorganize the conventional learning approach, enhance the leaning experience and entire learning process. Hence, The importance of intergrating scaffolding strategies to facilitate PBL for effective instruction in a diverse field of education cannot be overemphersized. This review highlihgts the benefits available through the utilization of technology-based scaffolding in PBL that could benefit vocational education. The review employed a systematic search of relevant databases including Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect and others. Twenty two (22) full articles that met the inclusion criteria were selected and analyzed. The analysis showed that PBL with online scaffolding enhances positive students experience, promotes effective collaboration, facilitates learning, and ease in dealing with communication of new ideas in a learning setting. additional findings showed that if question prompts in PBL is provided in a complicated or difficult manner, they could hinder rather than promote learning.

Authors: Ibrahim Sundus S. , Khodair Ziad T.
Published: April 2022

In this study, Cd2SnO4 nanoparticles were produced using a sol-gel technique. X-ray diffraction was used to investigate the Cd2SnO4 nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) with Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR), FE-SEM images show that manufactured Cd2SnO4 nanoparticles have cubic structures with some irregular cubic shaped nanoparticles. XRD patterns of the prepared thin films showed that the nanoparticles have a polycrystalline structure. The wide bands between 551 and 854 cm-1 are attributable to the framework vibrations of the Sn-O bond in SnO2, and the band at 551 cm-1 is also due to cadmium and oxygen in this area, according to the FTIR analysis. The TEM result shows the presence of cubic shaped nanoparticles. The interaction between the cadmium nanoparticles and the cellular contents of the fungi may be the reason for the antifungal effectiveness of Cd2SnO4 nanocomposites.
Numerical Analysis in Entanglement Swapping Protocols
Authors: Song Daegene
Published: April 2022

Entanglement has recently been one of the most essential elements in the development of various quantum technologies. In fact, a swapping protocol was introduced to create a long-distance entanglement from multiple shorter ones. Extending the previous work, this paper provides a more detailed numerical analysis to help create long-distance entanglement out of the two non-maximal three-level states. Specifically, it shows that while the protocol does not always yield optimal results, namely, the weaker link, there is a substantial number of states that yield an optimal result. Moreover, we discuss the numerical approach in showing the existence of states that provide a result close to the optimal outcome, which may be useful in realizing the long-distance entanglement used in quantum technology.
The Consciousness Experiment
Authors: Vega Juan Arellano
Published: April 2022

Since John Von Neumann's proposition in 1932 of a relationship between quantum mechanics and the brain, different perspectives and proposals have evolved (Tarlaci, 2010). Hu & Wu (2006) point out that the seat of consciousness would be the spin within the membranes of neurons and proteins in the brain. Sieb (2016) applied the theory of relativity to spatiotemporal consciousness and found correlations with aspects of brain functioning. Another suggestion is that consciousness emerges because of the Orchestrated Objective Reduction in microtubules (Hameroff & Penrose, 2003). However, few studies about the psychological implications of the relationship between quantum mechanics and the brain and its application to individual psychology exist.

Authors: Širl Radim
Published: April 2022

Tato teoretická studie je příspěvkem k velkému a v české literatuře pravděpodobně stále nedostatečně zastoupenému tématu humoru a jeho role ve škole, výchově a vzdělávání. Jejím cílem je popis možných principů, na základě kterých lze uvažovat o fungování humoru a jimiž lze následně zdůvodnit, proč je pro každého pedagoga nutné o povaze humoru a jeho roli ve škole uvažovat.
V článku je nejdříve stručně pojednána otázka definování humoru a představena relevantní typologie teorií humoru. Dále je přiblíženo současné bádání o humoru ve školním prostředí, v českém prostoru reprezentované především monografií Humor ve škole Kláry Šeďové. Vybrané závěry z práce Kláry Šeďové jsou poté propojeny s teorií rituálu Victora Turnera a jeho vymezením liminality a communitas, které již vztáhl k tématu humoru Radek Chlup ve svém článku Vtip a náboženství: Posvátno jako mysterium ludicrum et ridiculum!
Syntézou těchto přístupů je pak představen možný směr uvažování o humoru a jeho funkcích, který je následně aplikován na školní prostředí a specifické role, které pedagog v tomto prostředí zastává.

Se halló que las legislaciones de Colombia, Estados Unidos, Argentina y España no cuentan con una noción clara de pruebas digitales o electrónicas y se rigen por la figura de mensajes de datos. En conclusión, se establece que aúnexisten vacíos normativos que dificultan el tratamiento procesal de las pruebas digitales o electrónicas.
El Papel Educativo De Los Himnos De Europa En El Desarrollo De Un Nacionalismo Étnico
Authors: Muñoz-Galiano Inés María , Gonzalez García Erika , Beas Miranda Miguel , Cívico Ariza Andrea
Published: April 2022

Los himnos representan un concepto, una manera de organización, un sentido de pertenencia,una forma de percibir una identidad y una cultura nacional. Una tarea común de historiadores yeducadores es analizar, interpretar y comprender los mitos y símbolos nacionales. Los mensajes delos himnos llegan a la ciudadanía cada vez que se entonan y su repetición es, junto con las banderas, muy superior al uso del resto de los símbolos nacionales. De ahí su importancia en el desarrollo de los nacionalismos y como medio de educación. El objetivo de esta investigación es examinar las letras de los himnos de las naciones de Europa, reconocidas por la ONU, y explicar su vinculación con los elementos estructurantes del nacionalismo étnico. Mediante un análisis cualitativo de esos cincuenta himnos en su versión extensa, se seleccionaron todos sus términos (466) vinculados con los ejes temáticos del nacionalismo étnico y se estableció una relación directa entre estos y su contenido global. Esta concepción nacionalista no está reflejada en cada una de las letras, pero sí lo está en el conjunto de todas ellas, la cual puede ser beligerante y contravenir el ejercicio de los derechos humanos.

Authors: Majumder Shapan
Published: April 2022

This study focuses on the scenario of the economic development of Bangladesh. The major objective of the study is to examine the economic and non-economic determinants of the economic growth of the country. This study employs the Multivariate OLS regression and GLM technique to explore the influences of those variables to the economic growth and development of the country. The empirical results show that agriculture, industry, and service sector contribution to real GDP are positive where industry and service sectors are statistically significant. The results of the economic determinant model illustrate that the capital, labor forces, imports, and total reserve of the country positively influence the economic development of the country which are significant also. The OLS estimation shows that coefficients of non-economic determinants such as control of corruption and bureaucratic quality are positively significant to influence the economy. The results also present that internal conflict, democratic accountability, and rule and order situation negatively affect the economic growth in Bangladesh. The GLM estimation shows the control of corruption, rule, and order also a positive effect on economic growth. These empirical findings are consistent with the exploratory analysis and practices.

Authors: Etim Nsikak-Abasi A. , Mohammed Jamal , Taremwa Nathan Kanuma
Published: April 2022

The oil-producing communities generate more than 80 percent of Nigeria earnings from crude oil. Unfortunately, the oil has not shown enough prosperity in the oil-producing communities as the standard of living of the people is worsening by the day with little attention to the provision of infrastructure. Besides, there is evidence of widespread and abject poverty among the inhabitants of the oil-producing communities. An inclusive policy to harness the potentials of such communities requires the knowledge of the factors influencing their poverty levels. This study estimated the factors influencing the poverty of inhabitants in the oil-producing communities of southern Nigeria. Using multistage sampling procedure, 120 representative households were chosen and information was obtained with the help of structured questionnaire. In order to find what determines poverty, an altered reversal model comprising 15 regressors was used in the analysis. The results revealed that most critical factors influencing poverty in the communities were dependency ratio, farm size, experience in farming, farm income, level of knowledge gained, the gateway to extended services, modern farming inputs, and having the opportunity a to health facility. Increasing the size of cultivable hectarage either through land consolidation or expansion of existing farmland and improving the educational level of inhabitants of the oil communities are rational policy decisions that could reduce poverty and improve their quality of life.

This study analysed the competitiveness indicators of Saudi exports of dates using econometric analysis and competitiveness indicators. The Republic of Yemen was found to rank first in importing Saudi dates, followed by the United Arab Emirates, then by Turkey, Kuwait, Jordan, Somalia, Lebanon and Qatar. A clear discrepancy existed in the average export prices of Saudi dates between the various importing countries, where the average export price ranged between a minimum of $559.9/tonne; Syria had an upper limit of $4,368.2/tonne for South Africa. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia enjoyed a competitive advantage in exporting dates to South Africa, followed by the Emirates, Pakistan, Jordan, Djibouti, Turkey and Syria. The geographical concentration coefficient for each of the quantity and value of Saudi exports of dates was approximately 0.40 and 0.37 for each during 1990–2018. A 10% change in the competitiveness of Saudi dates, expressed in the rate of the actual performance of the foreign date trade, led to a change in the same direction of the quantity of Saudi exports of dates by 3.8%. The study recommends increasing the competitiveness of dates in international markets and preserving markets where in the Kingdom enjoys a competitive capacity for its agricultural exports.

Authors: Vookoti Uma Sai Vara Prasad , K. Venkata Rao , P. Satish Kumar
Published: April 2022

Helical milling is one of the high-performance and high-quality hole manufacturing activities with strong prospects for the automotive and aerospace industries. Literature suggests chip geometry plays a significant role in optimizing machining operations. In the present study, a mechanistic approach is used to estimate the chip geometry, cutting force and power/energy consumption concerning the tool rotation angle. Experiments are conducted at different levels of spindle rotational speed, cutter orbital speed and axial depth of cuts using 8 and 10 mm diameter mill cutters. Experimental results for cutting speed in X, Y and Z directions are measured. A hybrid approach, which combines the Taguchi method and Graph theory and matrix approach (GTMA) technique is used and optimized process parameters. The highest aggregate utility process parameters are met by 2000 rpm spindle speed, 50 rpm orbital speed and 0.2 mm axial cutting depth during helical milling of AISI D2 steel. FEM simulation is used for predicting the chip thickness, cutting forces and power consumption and also validated the optimization.
The Potentials and Limits of Computing Technologies for Socialist Planning
Authors: Işikara Güney , Narin Özgür
Published: April 2022

The notion of productive forces is usually grasped from a narrow perspective which reduces its content to technology and productivity. The distinction between force (Kraft) and its expression (Äußerung) plays a key role in Marx's dialectical analysis. Insofar as force is the outcome of a relation in dialectics, productive forces comprise an active element, namely labor. It is through the mediation of this active element that relations of production intervene in the process of expression of productive forces, which indicates the agency, that is the subversive subject, its empowerment and possibilities. Under capitalism, all aspects of individual and social life are reduced parameters to serve the overriding principle of profit maximization. Only the empowerment of working people can avoid such parameterization of society, which requires the abolition of the law of value as well as private property in the means of production, but is not granted by this abolition. The empowerment of workers is not an outcome of the advancement of productive forces, but is rather a significant element of the latter.

This study aims to outline the needs and expectations of adolescents in sexual education and reproductive health. The method used is a qualitative method and an in-depth interview was conducted. Use deliberate sampling techniques to determine samples. The interview results showed that all adolescents had heard of adolescent reproductive health (KRR), but they could not fully explain the definition and scope of KRR. The availability of KRR information and services around the residence is still poor, and although there is no regular schedule and incomplete, most are obtained from the school. The services that young people need include youth-friendly counseling, counseling and health checks. The expected facilities are easy-to-use facilities, affordable costs and flexible service hours. Support from policy makers, plan implementers, schools and youth residential communities are needed to provide youth-friendly and easily accessible KRR services.

Authors: Endika Okta Mega Gres , Azam Mahalul
Published: April 2022

The high COVID-19 death rate has an impact on mental disorders. Based an online self-survey on mental health, found a percentage of 63%, 66% and 80% on anxiety, depression and stress, respectively. We aimed to determine factors related to students’ mental health during pandemic. A cross-sectional study was conducted yielding 407 students selected consecutively. Data was collected using a questionnaire on google form. Data were analyzed by logistic regression. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between age and stress symptoms (p= 0,038) and depression (p= 0,017), resilience with stress symptoms (p= 0,040) and depression (p0,001) sleep duration with stress symptoms (p=0,005) and social support with depression (p0,001) in student at State University of Semarang. The variable that is most strongly associated with symptoms of stress and depression is resilience. Based on this research, the government and universities must provide psychological services and interventions regularly to identify students who have mental health problems.
Determinants of Consumers' Purchase Channel Preference in Omni-Channel Retailing
Authors: Eckl Mona , Lingenfelder Michael
Published: April 2022

Mobile technology and digitalisation put pressure on retailers to engage in omni-channel retailing. However, to avoid cannibalisation and create synergies, channels must differ and provide a unique service offer to the consumer. Indeed, little is known about what constitutes consumers’ channel preference in omni-channel environments. Thus, the present study evaluates consumers’ purchase channel preference considering benefits and costs. Besides, the role of channel experience and product category is estimated. Results demonstrate that consumers perceive differences between offline and digital channels in terms of utilitarian value, hedonic value and risk, but not in effort. While online and mobile channels are perceived as equally risky, the utilitarian value, hedonic value and effort they involve varies. But, despite the growing relevance of digitalisation, consumers still prefer purchasing offline for two different selected product categories. Thus, the authors offer implications for managerial practice to foster digital purchase channel preference.
Assessing the Diversity of the E-collection of the William H. Hannon Library; a Phased Project
Authors: Kennedy Marie , Conner-Gaten Aisha , Hazlitt Jamie , Garibay Javier , Ramirez Marisa
Published: April 2022

The American Library Association’s 1982 statement on Diversity in Collection Development reminds librarians of our professional responsibility “to select and support the access to materials on all subjects that meet, as closely as possible, the needs, interests, and abilities of all persons in the community the library serves. This includes materials that reflect political, economic, religious, social, minority, and sexual issues.” The William H. Hannon (WHH) Library’s vision statementaffirms that the library views itself as Bridge, Gateway, Agora, and Enterprise. To ensure that our materials collection aligns with our institutional vision and meets the research needs of our diverse campus population, the project team proposed an assessment of our electronic collection through the lens of diversity. The assessment was to determine if the library’s online databases (most often the first point of research consultation for our students and faculty) are adequately “bridging disciplines” (Bridge) and “representing diverse topics and perspectives” (Gateway). What the team learns will inform the library collection strategy, to ensure that it builds collections that deliberately and positively contribute to an inclusive campus climate.

Desarrollo de la Competencia Digital Docente en Contextos Universitarios. Una Revisión Sistemática
Authors: Viñoles-Cosentino Virginia , Sánchez-Caballé Anna , Esteve-Mon Francesc M.
Published: April 2022

La digitalización en la educación superior ha supuesto la necesidad apremiante de contar con profesorado digitalmente competente, evidenciándose aún más frente a la Covid-19. Las universidades han implementado estrategias diversas para ayudar al profesorado a desarrollar dicha competencia digital docente y si bien existen marcos e iniciativas institucionales, no se dispone de suficiente literatura científica que las describa. Esta investigación busca analizar las características y resultados de las estrategias formativas para desarrollar la competencia digital docente en el ámbito universitario. Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura en las principales bases de datos, siguiendo la metodología PRISMA. Partiendo de 322 documentos, y tras las fases de filtrado, se analizó en profundidad un total de 20 documentos. Los resultados indican que mayoritariamente estas estrategias inciden en áreas como la competencia profesional y el uso de las tecnologías en el proceso formativo. Asimismo, gran parte de las estrategias se basan en acciones aisladas, como cursos o seminarios, aunque emergen metodologías colaborativas, experienciales y basadas en la reflexión; aspectos muy valorados por el profesorado. Como conclusiones surge que, más allá de acciones aisladas, resulta clave disponer de adecuadas estrategias institucionales para potenciar la competencia digital docente y favorecer una verdadera transformación digital.
Educación a Distancia: Posibilidades de Inclusión y Participación Estudiantil
Authors: Serrano Denis , Ramírez Alma A. , Palazuelos Isaac J.
Published: April 2022

Ante la medida de confinamiento social por la Covid-19, las instituciones educativas han optado por la modalidad de educación a distancia. En México, una de las estrategias instrumentadas en la educación básica fue el programa Aprende en Casa que consistió en difundir videos con contenido educativo de los planes y programas de estudio a través de la televisión. En este estudio se analizan las formas de participación que se promueven en los vídeos televisivos del programa educativo "Aprende en Casa", el cual se impulsó como respuesta a la escolarización ante la pandemia de Covid-19 en México. Se presenta un estudio descriptivo e interpretativo, a partir del método de análisis de contenido de una muestra de 153 videos-clase de nivel secundaria. Los resultados evidencian que el ejercicio de la participación que se impulsa con adolescentes determina un rol pasivo en su aprendizaje, lo cual expone prácticas pedagógicas homegenizadoras que se alejan de una perspectiva inclusiva de la educación. Estos hallazgos permiten advertir la reproducción de prácticas educativas tradicionales en la creación de contenidos para la modalidad a distancia. Se recomienda retomar la tecnología como un medio para conectar las cosmovisiones de múltiples realidades para la construcción de nuevos aprendizajes.
El control del “orden moral” en Aragón durante el primer franquismo (1939-1956)
Authors: López Acón Óscar
Published: April 2022

Este artículo tiene por objeto el analizar el control socio-moral ejercido durante el primer franquismo en el espacio rural y urbano de Huesca y Zaragoza. Así pues, desarrollando una perspectiva de “historia social desde abajo”, atendemos a dimensiones como el disciplinamiento de las prácticas sociales en los espacios festivos y de ocio; por un lado, y a la vigilancia ejercida sobre las conductas de los sujetos considerados “inmorales”, por otro. Ello nos permite tanto poner de manifiesto las estrategias de resistencia cotidiana que utilizó la gente corriente para mantener esferas de autonomía —por ejemplo, con la celebración de carnavales y bailes clandestinos—; como inferir aspectos fundamentales de la gubernamentalidad franquista.

Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND

Addressing health care needs is complex in autistic youth for many reasons. Increased inpatient care that has been noted in this population, particularly for ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSCs), may be a marker of inadequate primary and outpatient care.

METHODS

This study used data from hospital inpatient discharges from the National Inpatient Sample 2017. The prevalence, average length of stay, and the average cost per day of the 10 most common principal diagnoses for index stay were calculated for autistic youth and youth with mental, behavioral, and other neurodevelopmental disabilities (MBND), ages 0 to 17.

RESULTS

Of every 1000 inpatient stays, 7.3 were for autistic youth and 65.2 for youth with MBND. The rate varied by US region and zip code-level household income. The most common diagnosis associated with stays in autistic youth was mood disorders, as in youth with MBND. Nearly all top 10 principal diagnoses for autistic youth were for ACSCs. The highest average cost per day for autistic youth was for physical injuries ($4320 per day), and the longest stays were for schizophrenia (14 days).

CONCLUSIONS

High occurrence of ACSCs in autistic youth suggests that primary care may not adequately address health and mental health needs. Clinical complexity and autism characteristics may be impacting care received in the hospital. Additional considerations need to explore and examine care complexity, racial and ethnic disparities, and the large portion of Medicaid-covered youth. Strategies for the provision of care to these vulnerable populations are of great concern.

Lazarsfeld-Mukai Bundles on K3 Surfaces Associated with a Pencil Computing the Clifford Index
Authors: Pal Sarbeswar
Published: April 2022

Let X be a smooth projective K3 surface over the complex numbers and let C be an ample curve on X. In this paper we will study the semistability of the Lazarsfeld-Mukai bundle EC,A associated to a line bundle A on C such that |A| is a pencil on C and computes the Clifford index of C. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for EC,A to be semistable.
The influence of the Ius-naturale conception of ABGB on the regulation of personality protection and compensation for non-proprietary damage in the Czech Civil Code
Authors: Matějková Jitka , Pavelek Ondřej , Vítek Bohumil
Published: April 2022

In 2014, a fundamental reform of private law took place in the Czech Republic. It was a revolution in private law. The reform of Czech private law was also to some extent contributed to by the pressure of the neighbouring more advanced legal systems in which the Czech legislator sought inspiration, especially the ABGB and its basic principles. Czech private law has been influenced since at least 1811 by the ABGB; this regulation affected Czech private law even in the first half of the twentieth century. This paper aims to answer the question how the ius-naturale conception of ABGB affected the Czech Civil Code of 2012 (the reform of private law in 2012) in the field of compensation for non-pecuniary damage, and to what extent and in which institutes this influence manifested itself. The area of compensation for non-pecuniary damage was deliberately chosen – this area is related to the protection of human personality. Personality rights then reflect the theory of natural law, which was suppressed in Czech private law during the second half of the twentieth century.
