Authors: Nainggolan Sahat Pandapotan , Sinaga Ardiles
Published: November 2023

Diabetes is a disease characterized by high blood sugar (glucose) levels. If blood sugar is not controlled properly, it can cause various critical diseases, one of which is diabetes. The purpose of this study was to determine the results of a comparison of the accuracy values ​​of the Random Forest Algorithm and the Gradient Boosting Classifier Algorithm in the classification of diabetes which will be tested for accuracy, Precision, Recall, and F1 score performance. The method used in this study was descriptive and the data source used the Pima Indians Diabetes Dataset from Kaggle. Based on data analysis using a ratio of 80:20, the Random Forest Algorithm has an accuracy of 79% obtained from the results of the confusion matrix. From the confusion matrix results, the results obtained were AUC 0.835, Recall 78%, and Precision 90%. Based on the results of Recall and Precision, an F1 score of 83% was obtained. Whereas the Boosting Classifier Algorithm has an accuracy result obtained from the results of the confusion matrix which is 81%. From the confusion matrix results, the AUC results were 0.877, Recall 83%, and Precision 67%. Based on the results of Recall and Precision, an F1 score of 74% was obtained. In this study, the accuracy evaluation results obtained were through the results of the Confusion matrix and the AUC value. These results indicate that the Gradient Boosting Classifier Algorithm has a more excellent accuracy evaluation result compared to the Random Forest Algorithm.

Authors: Hosea Seth , Susilawati Neni
Published: November 2023

Perpajakan merupakan topik yang menarik untuk diteliti baik secara teoritis maupun empiris, karena dalam kehidupan nyata, pengumpulan pajak menjadi perhatian analitis para ilmuwan. Penerimaan pajak adalah sumber utama pendanaan untuk anggaran publik. Penerimaan pajak juga harus mengedepankan asas redistribusi yang berkontribusi untuk mengurangi ketidakseimbangan dalam masyarakat. Sebagian besar pemerintahan yang modern menerapkan kebijakan fiskal redistributif, dimana penghasilan orang kaya dikenakan pajak dengan tarif yang tinggi, sehingga orang miskin dapat merasakan redistribusi pendapatan. Salah satu sistem pajak yang dapat memenuhi kebijakan fiskal redistributif adalah pajak optimal. Pajak optimal banyak didiskusikan dan dikaitkan dengan konteks kesejahteraan sosial dan redistribusi pendapatan. Namun, beberapa literatur mendefinisikan pajak optimal yang dikaitkan dengan konteks yang berbeda-beda, seperti pajak Pigouvian dan pajak lump-sum. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mempertegas definisi dari pajak optimal. Pajak optimal banyak dibahas oleh literatur yang beragam dengan penjelasan yang bervariasi. Metode penelitian yang digunakan peneliti adalah tinjauan pustaka sistematis yang didukung oleh pendekatan PRISMA sebagai strategi pelaporan dan NVivo untuk mengolah data kualitatif. Temuan dalam penelitian ini menghasilkan definisi dan konsep dari pajak optimal. Selain itu, hasil temuan penelitian dari konsep pajak optimal yang dikaitkan dengan konteks Pajak Penghasilan, pajak konsumsi, biaya administrasi, tarif pajak, asas perpajakan, isu lingkungan, kurva distribusi Pareto, dan kurva Laffer.

This study was aimed to describe the mathematical communication profiles applied by students of PLP-II program reviewed from emotional intelligence. Qualitative research was applied as the study method with questionnaire and observation as the research instrument. Observations were performed using recording tools (video recording) so mathematical communication done by students while studying can be observed through the recording results. The analysis was conducted in a qualitative-descriptive manner. The results of this study indicated that subjects with high emotional intelligence were capable of showing great mathematical communication skills in the development of learning instrument, comprising seven observed aspects. Meanwhile, subjects with moderate emotional intelligence only demonstrated proficiency in 4 aspects related to the creation of learning materials. In the practical learning setting, subjects with high emotional intelligence exhibited completeness, fluency, accuracy, systematicity, and focus on all observed aspects. This indicated that subjects with high emotional intelligence possessed good mathematical communication abilities in practical learning. As for subjects with moderate emotional intelligence, they only demonstrated proficiency in 14 out of 24 observed aspects, which still fell within the category of good mathematical communication.

Authors: Jhangir Sahrash , Jameel Rabia
Published: November 2023

Objective: To examine and predict the relationship among sociotropy-autonomy, self-criticism and self-esteem in individuals with or without depression.
Method: The cross-sectional, case-control study was conducted from November 2021 to July 2022 in various government hospitals and universities in Lahore, Pakistan, and comprised depression patients of either gender aged 20-40 years in group A. Healthy subjects matched for age and gender were enrolled in control group B. Data was collected using a demographic sheet predesigned in Urdu language, and the Urdu versions of Personal Style Inventory, Form of Self-Criticism/Attacking and Self-Reassuring Scale, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Data was analysed using SPSS 21.
Results: Of the 200 subjects, 100(50%) were males, while each of the two groups had 100(50%) subjects. The overall mean age of the sample was 27.93±5.23 years. Sociotropy-autonomy had a significant positive relationship with self-criticism (p<0.01) and a significant negative relationship with self-esteem (p<0.01). Self-criticism was significantly negatively correlated with self-esteem (p<0.01). Sociotropy-autonomy was a significant predictor of self-criticism and self-esteem (p<0.01). Inter-group comparison of the levels of sociotropy-autonomy, self-criticism and self-esteem were significant (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Sociotropy-autonomy was a highly significant predictor of self-criticism and self-esteem. People with depression had high sociotropy-autonomy and self-criticism scores, and low scores in self-esteem.

Addressing the awarding gap, fostering belonging: developing enhanced academic skills support for our Birmingham Scholars
Authors: Harper Polly , Campbell Leanne
Published: November 2023

In academic year 20/21, the University of Birmingham launched the ‘Birmingham Scholar’ programme as part of its Access and Participation Plan (University of Birmingham, 2019). This is a university-wide programme, supporting undergraduate students from under‐represented backgrounds, to achieve their full academic potential.
This presentation explored the central role of our Academic Skills Centre team in supporting the Birmingham Scholar programme, since its initiation. Alongside the support we provide to all our taught students, our team also run a centralised, enhanced programme of academic skills and peer support for all Birmingham Scholar students.
Currently, this includes tailored workshops and online guidance, enhanced opportunities for personalised one-one support and a dedicated, cross-discipline Peer-Assisted Study Scheme to aid with first-year transition and belonging at university. Through this enhanced programme, we aim to improve student success for our Birmingham Scholars by increasing their academic confidence, fostering a sense of belonging, and developing future skills along the way.
Attendees to the session discovered:

The development and delivery of our enhanced academic skills support offer so far, including evaluation of its successes and challenges.

Preliminary quantitative evidence which suggests the Scholar programme may help to reduce awarding gaps by improving degree outcomes for Scholars who engage with the programme.

Our future aims for the programme. These include goals to increase engagement with College academic Access and Participation leads to further embed and target our academic skills offer, provide a more holistic range of support by collaborating more widely with colleagues in areas such as our Careers Network, and foster further opportunities for peer-to-peer support.
Learning development in a time of disruption
Authors: Fallin Lee
Published: November 2023

The Covid-19 Pandemic had (and continues to have) a significant worldwide impact on Higher Education (Watermeyer et al., 2021; Sharaievska et al., 2022). How Learning Development responded to this challenge varied considerably across the sector.

Many of the challenges and solutions for Learning Development are represented in the Compendium of Innovative Practice: Learning Development in a Time of Disruption, a special issue of the Journal of Learning Development in Higher Education (JLDHE, 2021). The Compendium issue of JLDHE contained 102 peer-reviewed reflections, identifying numerous challenges and responses to teaching in Covid-19.

This conference paper will share the findings of a research project that has systematically analysed all 102 contributions to the compendium. Each reflection was analysed using structural, topic and thematic coding to identify common responses and challenges to pandemic teaching.

The findings of this study have identified a range of individual and shared challenges for both students and third space professionals. One of the core findings relates to the diversity of responses that have been designed to meet these challenges, with over 100 distinct pedagogic and technical solutions to pandemic teaching. From these, five core themes have emerged: emergency remote teaching; reflective practice and evaluation; pedagogy and technology support; collaboration and shared practice; and, course design for the long-term.

 

This paper will reflect on implications for future practice in times of disruption and provide delegates with the opportunity to consider how it relates to their institutions.
Why and how you matter: learning development as everyday leadership
Authors: Kukhareva Maria , Buckley Carina
Published: November 2023

For the learning developers, operating within the third space in higher education (between academic-faculty positions, and professional/learning services and administration) brings its rewards through supporting students and staff to succeed. However, well-documented challenges, such as uncertainty around own professional identity; own place in the institutional culture and infrastructure; entitlement to CPD; and career progression trajectory (Silvey, Pejcinovic and Snowball, 2018; Obexer, 2020; Clark, 2021). Learning Developers who often are employed as both academics and professional services may find themselves grappling with finding ways to capture and evidence impact of their activity on their students’ academic and broader experience and proving their worth to their institution and the sector on the whole (Riggio, 2020). Our institutions may feel like worlds of academic standards and managerial constraints, neither of which helps reinforce the feeling of empowerment and belonging among learning developers.

Everyday leadership, as a position and behaviour of choice, can help navigate these challenges, at individual, institutional and LD community levels. Everyday leadership has links with a stronger sense of empowerment, self-fulfilment and belonging – to the collective LD community, and to the institution (Drury, Evripidou, and Van Zomeren, 2015). Everyday leadership implies influence, and therefore, impact. In this session, we applied our thinking from Cashman (2017) and Whitelaw (2020) and define leadership as extending your energy into “things that matter” (Whitelaw, 2020. NP), to create value for others. Everyday leaders are all individuals, notwithstanding of their status, who “influence others to achieve shared objectives for the good of the collective” (Riggio, 2020, NP). Our participants also explored, and reframed their activity from the angle of everyday leadership – such as influencing peers and students, mentoring peers, initiating or leading a project, speaking up, acting as an active bystander. Finally we referred to broad themes from the ALDinHE Leadership Community of Practice. Participants shared practice and came up with a range of everyday leadership ‘expressions’ which are meaningful to them, within the context of their value and purpose; empowerment and belonging; influence and impact. Participants were encouraged to commit to one new everyday leadership action/ behaviour.
Mattering vs belonging and the impact of academic advisors: online professional part-time students – a case study
Authors: Thijm Jacqui
Published: November 2023

Belonging is not a new concept, it has been around for some time in Higher Education. The “What works? Student retention and success” report concluded that “belonging is critical to student retention and success” (Thomas, 2012). However, this can be difficult to achieve for some students such as those who study online. The research around a sense of belonging amongst online students is limited (Peacock et al., 2020), who have limited time and opportunities to participate in activities used to promote belonging at universities. With an increase in online and blended courses within higher education (Dunford and Miller, 2018), mattering maybe a more important factor for such students.

 Mattering as defined by Dixon and Tucker (2008), is an individual’s perception that they are important and are valued in their interpersonal relationships (2008). Academic advisors have a key role in mattering, by building individual relations with students they can have a positive impact on feelings of mattering. McIntosh et al. (2020 [online]) found that students who feel supported by their academic advisors go on to have successful tutoring relationships.

In a case study conducted within a Higher Education institute that provides fully online courses for part-time professional students, the author examined feelings of mattering and belonging amongst level 5 and 6 undergraduate students. The case study found that the individual mattering relationships were more important than belonging to students who participated in the study. Students valued members of staff who went “above and beyond” and showed care and mattering. Academic Advisors were key members of staff for these mattering relationships.

If students feel that they matter, this may well lead to an increased feeling of belonging and this is something that should be explored further.
Learning development and English for academic purposes: opportunities and challenges in collaboration
Authors: Webb Emily
Published: November 2023

The aim of this practitioner’s mini keynote was to reflect on the experiences of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and learning development (LD) practitioners from across UK higher education institutions to explore how we can collaborate to benefit students’ educational experiences and outcomes. Despite different pedagogical and professional contexts and identities, both EAP and LD practitioners aspire to develop students’ understanding of, and engagement with, key academic and disciplinary literacies (McCulloch and Horak, 2019). Within many institutions, however, EAP and LD colleagues deliver provision separately – either to different cohorts or through different teaching models (pre- and in-sessional delivery, for example). Although this separation speaks to specific disciplinary identities and points of theoretical and pedagogical difference (see, for example, Wingate, 2012), it can cause duplication of content, confusion for students, and competing demands for institutional funding and support. Given increasing student numbers, widening diversity of student needs and experience, and funding concerns, it is more important than ever to understand how EAP and LD practitioners can collaborate in the best interests of our students.
 
Prompt questions:
 

What opportunities for collaboration between EAP and LD colleagues are available at your institution, and what challenges or barriers have you experienced?
How can EAP and LD practitioners effectively collaborate while maintaining their professional identities?
How can effective collaboration between EAP and LD practitioners benefit student education experiences and outcomes?
The problem of inclusion and invisibility: working with disabled students in HE
Authors: Ingle Julian
Published: November 2023

For many, the word ‘inclusion’ has not only become emptied of meaning but also sets up a problematic contradiction. To be included depends on the willingness of those who hold this power to allow entry. Being allowed entry doesn’t change the power relationships but merely allows access to already ‘existing cultures, structures and practices’ (Biesta, Wainwright and Aldridge, 2022, p.1). For disabled people and minoritised groups, the problem of equity and participation in education is one that runs deep and, for many, extends right the way through their educational trajectories.
What’s overlooked and not recognised is the invisible work of being disabled. Similarly, and to paraphrase Donna Williams (1996), from the start, disabled people have been judged from the outside, by their appearances, rather than from the inside and according to how their disability is experienced. This mini keynote opens up a space to discuss the problems inherent in inclusion and what this means for disabled people and other minoritised groups.
Questions:

Inclusion has been co-opted into HE’s performativity agenda; does this create more problems than it pretends to solve?
How do we acknowledge and understand the invisible work of being disabled?
As practitioners, how can we create a more authentically democratic environment for disabled people and other minoritised groups in HE?
Green and academic literacies: embedding sustainability into learning development practice
Authors: Parry Thompson Rhiannon
Published: November 2023

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), an internationally understood educational concept, ‘equips learners across all disciplines with the knowledge, skills, attributes and values required to pursue sustainable visions of the future’ (Advanced HE, n.d.). The potential for learning development (LD) to contribute IN this endeavour by embedding green literacy into LD practice while supporting students to develop their academic literacies is a longstanding professional interest of the author. There is broad agreement that effective ESD necessitates supporting students to develop self-reflection, systematic thinking, problem solving and collaborative learning skills, some of the key competencies that LD seeks to foster.
This mini keynote briefly presented the nature, scope, and purpose of the author’s work in embedding ESD within their LD practice. It aimed to provoke a discussion about the potential of LD to contribute to the ESD agenda within higher education by, for example, participating in departmental, faculty or institution-wide Climate Themed Learning events or by integrating ESD into regular LD practice. It also aimed to encourage information and ideas exchange, and a consideration about the formation of an ALDinHE Education for Sustainable Development Community of Practice.
Tales of a three-year journey to integrating academic and information literacy skills in an education course
Authors: Bishopp-Martin Silvina
Published: November 2023

This session explored the journey to integrating academic and information literacy skills into CCCU’s BA in primary education. The session began by presenting a rationale for the project and the principles underpinning it, in particular, by referring to the Academic Literacies approach. The presentation subsequently introduced the staged approach taken to fully integrate learning development work into the curriculum, including concrete examples of what that integration looked like for a range of modules. The presenter also introduced staff and student feedback from the ongoing project, and a range of future steps which will be taken to continue the process of integration. A key aspect of the session included reference to: (a) how this process has allowed students to navigate academic expectations at different points in the course; (b) staff’s perceptions on the value of the collaboration needed to realise this project.
Great expectations: our writing tendencies for actionable self-knowledge
Authors: Buckley Carina , Syska Alicja
Published: November 2023

We all know that writing for publication is a valuable activity and one that many of us aspire to. We have previously presented it as a form of liberatory practice for Learning Development (Syska and Buckley, 2022) showing how it allows us to shape and develop our ideas as part of a wider conversation in LD, and how in doing so it helps to build the field and our own professional profiles. Yet many of us struggle to write. We explored some of the reasons behind this in a small study and although lack of time is consistently cited as a factor, we believe the root of the issue lies in managing the expectations we have for ourselves alongside those that others have for us and, most crucially, how we respond to those.
 
In her book The Four Tendencies, Gretchen Rubin identified that internal and external expectations, enmeshed with our particular predisposition when it comes to responding to tasks, go far to explain ‘why we act and why we don’t act’ (Rubin, 2017, p.12). While her Tendencies relate to the four possible combinations of meeting or not meeting inner and outer expectations generally, we have translated this specifically to writing as a way of understanding why many people struggle to write and how they can be supported. The four writing tendencies we have identified – Strivers, Pragmatists, Actualisers and Freelancers – have their own blocks to writing, but also have their own strategies for effectively overcoming those blocks. In this presentation we therefore outlined the nature of the four writing tendencies, helped participants identify their own, and showed how self-knowledge can have a significant impact on our approach to writing, which we can then pass on to our students.
Learning development mentor provision – how it’s going
Authors: Mansfield Sheryl , Thomas Sam , Beeson Helena
Published: November 2023

Continuing from the presentation in 2022 (see Thomas and Mansfield, 2022), the University of Northampton Learning Development Team used this session to share how the second year of their Learning Development Mentor Project has progressed.
Our session discussed the impact of utilising student mentors on the provision of our service with the objective of reducing barriers to accessing support. Our nine Learning Development Mentors (LDMs) replicate that of Price et al.’s (2018) Student Learning Assistant Model where we offer support to students from any disciplinary subject via drop-ins, tutorials and other formal events. All LDMs are current second- and third-year students and work four or six hours a week to supplement the LD provision by offering a peer perspective to academic and study skills. Furthermore, they are seeping into spaces unable to be penetrated by Learning Development. The talk evaluated how the role was co-created with the LD Mentors and the benefits and impact it has had on the LD provision. We discussed how the Learning Development tutors, mentors and users of the service differentiate the roles. In addition, the impact of the following projects which the LDMs have been involved with was considered:

University of Northampton Plagiarism Awareness Course (UNPAC).
Social media and marketing outputs.
Pathways project to support students’ understanding of Learning Development and how to access the service.
Other institutional events such as open days, exam ready project and many more.
The conference presentation will describe how we have navigated the project and how measuring impact with the project is not always straightforward.

The oil wealth has a large and effective role in the development of oil economies, and it is assumed that this wealth has a distinctive role in achieving economic development. The Iraqi economy is dependent on oil revenues to finance government spending, it is a renter economy, while other revenues have little contribution compared to oil revenues, and the reason for this is the inefficiency and ability of other sectors to finance.

Published: November 2023

Devido à importância das mídias sociais para o turismo e considerando que os parques estaduais devem promover o uso público e o turismo, a presente investigação tem o objetivo geral de identificar as mídias sociais utilizadas pelos parques estaduais do estado do Paraná. Por meio de metodologia de caráter exploratório e descritivo, com a utilização das técnicas de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, foram evidenciadas mídias sociais de vinte parques estaduais abertos à visitação. Assim, foram produzidos dados primários sobre documentos digitais. Os resultados indicaram a presença de quatro parques no Instagram, dez no Facebook, seis com site próprio e quinze no TripAdvisor. O potencial de uso das mídias sociais identificadas é subaproveitado pelos parques. A exceção é a do perfil de um parque sob concessão privada e de outro relacionado ao principal destino turístico do litoral paranaense. Nas sugestões foram destacadas a importância da rotina de postagens denotando ser um perfil ativo, com fotos atualizadas, comentários respondidos e estratégias de conteúdo informativo que contribua com a educação ambiental e com o turismo.

Para determinar la presencia de parásitos intestinales en perros que habitan en los corregimientos de San Martín de Porres y Canto del Llano, Santiago de Veraguas, Panamá; se colectaron un total de 46 muestras de heces que fueron analizadas por medido de un frotis directo y la técnica cuantitativa MacMaster. La frecuencia general de muestras positivas para ambos métodos fue de 60.9 y 73.9%, respectivamente. Los huevos de parásitos mayormente encontrados pertenecieron al género Ancylostoma sp. sp. Para San Martín de Porres, con el método directo se encontró una frecuencia de 57.7 % y con la técnica de MacMaster 53.8%; mientras que en Canto del Llano fue de 50% y 65 %, respectivamente. Los otros géneros encontrados, pero en menor frecuencia fueron: Trichuris sp. sp., Toxocara sp. sp., Ascaris sp. sp., Paragonimus sp., Uncinaria sp. sp., y coccidios. No se observó una diferencia significativa respecto a la positividad de parásitos entre las zonas de muestreo y no se evidenció la existencia de un vínculo entre la condición de las muestras con el lugar de procedencia. El análisis de concentración de huevos de MacMaster determinó que la localidad de Canto del Llano tenía un mayor número de huevos por gramo de heces.

Marie Octavie Coudreau, exploradora francesa no rio Trombetas
Authors: Torres Marie-Hélène Catherine , Thomé Brenda Bressan
Published: November 2023

Este artigo traz notas sobre e comentários de tradução dos capítulos VI, VIII e IX de “Viagem ao (rio) Trombetas” (Voyage au Trombetas), texto contido na obra homônima de Henri A. Coudreau, com o último capítulo escrito por Marie Octavie Coudreau, publicado em 1900. A versão do texto de partida utilizada foi consultada a partir da biblioteca de livros antigos disponibilizada pelo Google Books, a partir de uma versão digitalizada pela Universidade de Harvard. Comentamos sobre as escolhas do processo de tradução do francês antigo para o português brasileiro, considerando as particularidades do texto, a mudança de discurso quando há a mudança de autoria, o contexto geográfico, social e político da época e outros aspectos relevantes. O contexto da fronteira do Brasil com a Guiana Francesa se faz importante, bem como a localização das palavras traduzidas pelos autores ao português da época já no texto de partida. Por isso, como ponto inicial da tradução, utilizamos o conceito de retrotradução, ou seja, indo no sentido contrário em busca de compreender as escolhas de escrita (e no caso, tradutórias) dos autores, principalmente no que diz respeito a topônimos.

Traduzindo e anotando o Cap. XII de Exploration of the Valley of The Amazon
Authors: Medeiros Samuel Luzeiro Lucena de , Santos Tatiana de Lima Pedrosa , Costa Walter Carlos
Published: November 2023

Este trabalho apresenta de forma sintetizada algumas considerações referentes ao processo de tradução, análise e comentário do capítulo XII do segundo volume do livro Exploration of the Valley of The Amazon, escrito pelo tenente da Marinha dos Estados Unidos da América Lardner Arthur Gibbon, entre 1851 e 1852. Também são introduzidos e contextualizados os cenários histórico e político para a Amazônia daquele período, a fim de que se possa compreender com mais precisão as condições de possiblidade para que as viagens, os relatos compilados e opiniões do expedicionário tenham se dado como hoje o sabemos. Ao final da tradução do capítulo rico em detalhes sobre a descida da Bolívia para o Brasil (especialmente pelo Rio Madeira), elaboramos 18 notas, nas quais buscamos compreender aspectos da vida econômica, social e política da população da região. Consultamos o texto original em diferentes edições, para apresentar um texto em inglês e em português o mais preciso possível, dando especial atenção às unidades de medida da época utilizadas. Esperamos que a edição bilíngue deste capítulo contribua para um maior conhecimento do negligenciado segundo volume deste livro excepcional e de grande valor para a história da Amazônia brasileira.

Use of Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) as Visual Analogue Scale (VAS): Is this Clinically Significant?
Authors: Lbrahim Farooq Pasha  , Rehman Atiq Ur , Asim Niaz Naqvi  , Syed Junaid Ismail  , Salman Ashfaq  , Muhammad Asad Qureshi
Published: November 2023

Objective: To analyze statistically significant differences between the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) in low back pain (LBP) patients.
 
Study Design: Prospective longitudinal Study.
 
Place and Duration of Study: Orthopaedic and Spine Department, Combined Military Hospital, Peshawar Pakistan, from Sep 2019 to May 2020.
 
Methodology: The study included two hundred one patients with low back pain presented to the Orthopedic and Spine OPD.All patients were asked to record their pain with a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at the start of the visit and a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) at the exit, at approximately 5-7 minute intervals in the Outpatient Department.
 
Results: Two hundred one patients were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 41.5 years (range 15-75). Thecomparison of pain measurements with the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) showed a mean of 7.408(SD1.853), whereas with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), it was 6.864 (SD1.954). This showed higher readings with NRS compared to VAS, with a mean difference of 0.544 (p-value was <0.001).
 
Conclusion: The numerical Rating Scale (NRS) tends to produce higher pain readings than the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Treatment guidelines should be considered when interpreting studies that have used VAS interchangeably and wrongly reported it as NRS.

Objective: to determine the relationship between pain severity and kinesiophobia in patients with chronic neck pain.
Study Design: Cross-sectional analytical study
Place and Duration of Study: Pakistan Society of Rehabilitation of Disabled, Arif Memorial Hospital, Rashid Latif Medical Institute and Jinnah Hospital, from Aug 2020 to Jan 2021.
Methodology: One hundred seventy subjects with neck pain for more than three months were included in the study. Tampa scale was used to measure kinesiophobia, and the Numeric Pain Rating scale was used to assess the pain severity.
Results: Out 0f 170 subjects, 83(48.8%) were males and 87(51.2%) were females with a mean age of 31.31 ±4.062 years. A significant association was found between kinesiophobia, pain severity and chronic neck pain with 0.01 p-value. The crammer phi value was 0.418, which showed a strong association.
Conclusion: High levels of kinesiobhobia and pain belief should be considered in patients with chronic neck pain as these are both associated with each other.
