Authors: Han Soo-Yeon , Chae Sun-Mi
Published: May 2022

Purpose: This study investigated the experiences of parents with infant safety accidents. In addition, this study analyzed the safety education required by the parents.Methods: A total of 21 parents with 6- to 12-month-old infants participated in the study. Data were gathered by one-on-one interviews with the parents using a semi-structured interview guide that included experiences with safety accidents and safety education. Content analysis was used.Results: Most safety accidents involving infants occurred at home, and the most common type of accident was falls. Because infant safety accidents occurred suddenly, it was difficult for parents to predict them. Parents reported a lack of first aid information or the ability to deal with safety accidents. They felt guilty for the safety accidents. The safety education contents they requested were first aid practice and home environment management. Home visits, group education, and mobile applications were the preferred methods for providing the safety education.Conclusion: To reduce the difficulties that parents face in safety accidents, infant safety education for parents is needed that provides a parental education program about first aid practices and home environment management. Additionally, to meet the needs of the parents, various modes of delivery for the safety education course should be developed.

Published: May 2022

Purpose: This descriptive study aimed to identify the incidence and related factors of reintubation after unplanned extubation in the neonatal intensive care unit.Methods: A secondary data analysis was conducted using electronic medical records. All events of unplanned extubation were audited from January 2020 to August 2021. The data were analyzed by chi-square test using IBM SPSS Statistics ver. 24.0 program.Results: Fifty-eight unplanned extubation events were identified for 20 months. The incidence was 2.6 per 100 ventilation days during the study period. After unplanned extubation, 35 neonates (60.3%) were immediately reintubated. There was a statistically significant difference between the gestational age (p=0.018) and postconceptional age at unplanned extubation (p=0.044) and the total intubation period (p=0.003) between the reintubation and nonreintubation groups.Conclusion: These findings indicate that the incidence of unplanned extubation was significantly higher than that of an adult in South Korea. According to this study, targeting interventions are required to prevent unplanned extubation and ensure patient safety.

Authors: Siddhpuria Shailee , Breau Genevieve , Lackie Madison E , Lavery Brynn M , Ryan Deirdre , Shulman Barbara , Kennedy Andrea L , Brotto Lori A
Published: May 2022

Background

Postpartum depression (PPD) is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity, affecting up to 18% of Canadian new mothers. Yet, PPD often remains untreated due to numerous barriers in access to care, including location and cost. Development of eHealth interventions in collaboration with patient partners offers an exciting opportunity to fill this care gap and provide effective and affordable care to new parents across British Columbia.

Objective

Our aim was to determine the content and design preferences of women previously diagnosed with PPD to inform changes to the development of a web-enabled intervention for education and management of PPD.

Methods

Webpage prototypes were created to mimic the web-enabled resource using findings from completed focus group research that assessed what women want in a web-enabled support resource for PPD. A convenience sample of women aged >18 years and previously diagnosed with PPD was recruited. Feedback was collected on the content and design of the prototypes via semistructured interviews and online surveys. Qualitative, inductive analytic, and quantitative methods were used.

Results

A total of 9 women (mean age 37.2 years, SD 4.8 years) completed the interview and a majority of the survey. The following 6 themes were identified: (1) inefficacy of text-heavy layouts, (2) highlighting key information, (3) clarity/understandability of the language, (4) finding support groups, (5) validation and immediate help for feelings of isolation, and (6) helpfulness and accessibility of the resource. Each theme identified elements of content or design that were either effective or may be improved upon. Most women (8/9, 89%) favored content relating to foundational knowledge of PPD, such as symptoms and management options. The layout, language, and content were found to be generally easy to understand, clear, trustworthy, and helpful.

Conclusions

Six key areas were identified by women previously diagnosed with PPD, as requiring focus in a web-enabled psychoeducation program. Consistent with past research, this study also found that support and enthusiasm for web-enabled programs support PPD management as an adjunct to other evidence-based treatments.
Identifying Themes for Assessing Cancer-Related Cognitive Impairment: Topic Modeling and Qualitative Content Analysis of Public Online Comments
Authors: Kesler Shelli R , Henneghan Ashley M , Thurman Whitney , Rao Vikram
Published: May 2022

Background

Cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) is a common and significant adverse effect of cancer and its therapies. However, its definition and assessment remain difficult due to limitations of currently available measurement tools.

Objective

This study aims to evaluate qualitative themes related to the cognitive effects of cancer to help guide development of assessments that are more specific than what is currently available.

Methods

We applied topic modeling and inductive qualitative content analysis to 145 public online comments related to cognitive effects of cancer.

Results

Topic modeling revealed 2 latent topics that we interpreted as representing internal and external factors related to cognitive effects. These findings lead us to hypothesize regarding the potential contribution of locus of control to CRCI. Content analysis suggested several major themes including symptoms, emotional/psychological impacts, coping, “chemobrain” is real, change over time, and function. There was some conceptual overlap between the 2 methods regarding internal and external factors related to patient experiences of cognitive effects.

Conclusions

Our findings indicate that coping mechanisms and locus of control may be important themes to include in assessments of CRCI. Future directions in this field include prospective acquisition of free-text responses to guide development of assessments that are more sensitive and specific to cognitive function in patients with cancer.
Supporting People Who Have Lost a Close Person by Bereavement or Separation: Protocol of a Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Two French-Language Internet-Based Interventions (Preprint)
Authors: Debrot Anik , Kheyar Maya , Efinger Liliane , Berthoud Laurent , Pomini Valentino
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND

Internet-based interventions (IBIs) are as efficient as face-to-face psychotherapy for a variety of mental health disorders, including complicated grief. Most evidence stems from guided IBIs. However, recent research indicates that the benefit of guidance is lower in more interactive IBIs. As such, providing guidance only to people requiring it (guidance on demand) appears a cost-effective solution. This is particularly important to develop given the recent rise in grief symptoms in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper presents the protocol of a randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy and adherence rate of 2 IBIs for grief-related symptoms after the loss a close one following death or romantic separation, using a guidance on demand framework. LIVIA 2.0 was developed based on theoretical and empirical findings on grief processes and IBIs, and it will be compared to LIVIA 1 that has already demonstrated its efficacy.

OBJECTIVE

Our main hypotheses are that LIVIA 1 (control condition) and LIVIA 2.0 (experimental condition) increase participants’ well-being and decrease their distress at posttest and at follow-up, that LIVIA 2.0 is more efficient than LIVIA 1 for all outcomes, and that LIVIA 2.0 has less dropouts than LIVIA 1.

METHODS

Outcomes will be assessed at pretest, posttest (12 weeks later), and follow-up (24 weeks later). We will recruit 234 participants through a variety of means, including social media and contacts with the press. Primary outcomes are grief symptoms, depressive symptoms, and eudemonic well-being. Secondary outcomes are anxiety symptoms, grief coping strategies, aspects related to self-identity reorganization, and program satisfaction. LIVIA 2.0 participants will additionally undergo a weekly mood and grief symptom monitoring, allowing us to explore the short-term efficacy of the sessions.

RESULTS

The creation and development of the content of LIVIA 2.0 was completed during the first phase of the project. Participant recruitment will begin in May 2022 and will last until January 2023.

CONCLUSIONS

This study will emphasize the relevance of the innovations included in LIVIA 2.0 regarding the efficacy and dropout rate of IBIs for grief symptoms and will allow investigations on how these changes impact the demand for guidance. In the current postpandemic times, developing and assessing IBIs targeting grief symptoms are particularly critical given the rise in grief-related symptoms.

PREVAILING AMERICAN DEMOCRACY WITHIN AFRICAN-AMERICAN LITERATURE OF AMANDA GORMAN’S THE HILL WE CLIMB: STUART HALL’S AUDIENCE RECEPTION ANALYSIS
Authors: Wirawan Alifiadita Nindyarini , Munjid Achmad
Published: May 2022

The appealing part of a literary work is to enable the audience to feel emotionally connected with a literary work, leading them to produce diverse interpretations. In this respect, the occurrence of Amanda Gorman’s poem of The Hill We Climb is capable of attracting American citizens’ attention to deliver their perception of the work. The intensity of American society’s reactions can be seen in how the audience expresses their responses on YouTube. Therefore, the writer decided to analyze the phenomenon further by applying Stuart Hall’s reception theory aimed to prevail on how American society perceives the poem. Finally, the result of the analysis shows that the majority of Americans perceived the work as encouragement in refining the principles of American democracy, which were categorized as dominant readings. On the other hand, several audiences who interpreted the poem as a form of hope are included as negotiated readings that deliver different opinions but align with the poet’s perception. The last is oppositional readings that interpret the poem as a redundant work, shown by the audience’s incapability to comprehend the poem comprehensively. Briefly, the variety of the audience’s interpretations is because of diverse perceptions possessed by the audience in perceiving the message of democracy within the poem, which is influenced by their backgrounds.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF BIRACIAL IDENTITY IN PATRICIA PARK’S RE JANE
Authors: Suryani Ade Nine , Saktiningrum Nur -
Published: May 2022

Race in America is an important issue because, through the decennial census, the American government distributes the federal budget to many communities to support their education and health. Throughout the American census history, the government starts to acknowledge the people with one or more races in 2000. However, in society, people with more than one race will be classified based on their physical features and acknowledged by only one race. This research aims to reveal the biracial identity development in Re Jane novel by Patricia Park (2015) using racial identity and negotiation theory. It uses a qualitative method with primary data source from the novel and secondary data source from books, thesis, journals, articles, and online sources. This research shows that factors that affect Jane’s biracial Korean-American identity development are microlenses factors consisting of inherited influences and social environment. These factors make Jane not have a sense of belonging both in the the Korean-American community and the Caucasian community. Second, to have a sense of belonging in the community, she negotiates with her family, friends, and workplace by supporting and challenging others’ desired self-image. Thus she can feel secure, trusted, and accepted.
CAN WHITE AMERICANS INCLUDE COLORS IN THEIR CANON? SEARCHING A POST-NATIONAL HISTORY OF AMERICAN PHILOSOPHY
Authors: Hidayat Ferry
Published: May 2022

Racism in the USA not only takes place in law, economics, politics, mass media and new media, education, literature, and popular culture but also occurs in philosophy. An abundance of Latino philosophers, African-American philosophers, and Native American philosophers are excluded from the American philosophy canon. To discover whether racism happens in the field of American philosophy, the writer surveys 15 American philosophy books written between the 1940s and the 2020s by various American writers, the whites and the non-whites. The writer carries out an ‘index-study’: scanning philosopher names in the index of each book, identifying and scrutinizing the names, listing and categorizing them into race categories, counting them, comparing the number of non-white philosophers and white philosophers mentioned in each book, putting them in a table, and interpreting why there is a disparity between the number of non-white and white philosophers included in the books. The survey result shows that racism happens in American philosophy; the writers of the 15 American philosophy books exclude an abundance of non-white philosophers. There is a critical need to write a new, post-national American philosophy book that does justice to non-white philosophers in the near future so that racism diminishes.

Authors: Maziyya Rizqia Nuur , Udasmoro Wening
Published: May 2022

The racial discrimination and oppression toward Black community in the U.S. have become the main concern in American society. Several factors make Black community live with fear and struggle to be accepted in American society. Racial discrimination is a complex phenomenon, which is the accumulation of variables within Black community’s lives. Race, class, and gender are factors that intersect with one another, resulting in continuous racial discrimination toward Black people in the U.S. Black literature explores how Black people encounter oppression and discrimination; and how they fight against them. One of Black young adult literature is entitled The Hate U Give (2017) by Angie Thomas. This novel explores the life of a high school student named Starr who lives within two atmospheres, a black neighborhood and a predominately white school. Through the protagonist’s point of view, this novel explores how the intersection of race, class, and gender are connected and creates continuous racial discrimination in the U.S. Intersectional theory by Patricia Hill Collins is used to investigate how the variables are connected and results in the systemic racism toward Black community. The finding shows how Black people are dealing with racial events in their daily lives, struggle to fight inequality, and attempt to voice their experience through Black activism.

VIEWING POSTMODERN AMERICAN YOUTH SOCIETY THROUGH UGLIES AND THE HUNGER GAMES: A TURN FROM NOSTALGIA TO ESCAPE
Authors: Astuti Anna Sri
Published: May 2022

At the turn of the 21st century, Americans experienced the shift from the Modern Era to the Postmodern Era. The Modern Era that worships technology blurs the borders between countries. Technology and transportation, as the major components of the revolution in the globalization era, have labeled the planet a ‘global world’. This study found out that the Internet, for instance, has made access among countries possible. One of the effects of this movement towards globalization is the erosion of American exclusivity. Apart from its positive contributions to the world, technology has produced world chaos and destruction. The attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon in 2001 and the economic crisis in 2008 are two fatal catastrophes that hit America in the 21st century and caused major trauma to the American people. This study is conducted to analyze postmodern American youth society through the analysis of Uglies and The Hunger Games to see how American youth make a turn from a victorious nostalgia to an escape from reality and create their own imaginary worlds through dystopian literature in response to what is happening in America. Using the theories of Postmodernism, small narratives from the data of the two novels are collected to reveal what are implicitly stated in the two novels.

Published: May 2022

The 9/11 tragedy in America has created more intense tension between America and Middle Eastern cultures. Then, the term Islamophobia emerged, where many non-Muslims feared Islam. Even until now, they associate Islam with terrorism. However, this situation led Willow, the main character, to decide to study and convert to Islam. Although not the main point that caused Willow to convert to Islam, the decision was made after the 9/11 tragedy. Willow represents a western woman who intentionally learns Islamic teachings. This study will use a qualitative descriptive method to explore events and cultures surrounding the main character. Therefore, there are two purposes of this study. The first is to delve into how the culture of Middle Eastern Muslim women is portrayed. Secondly, is to examine how the main character adapts to the culture of Middle Eastern Muslim women. In analyzing the data, this study applies postcolonial feminism theory to understand the cultural differences between Middle Eastern and Western Muslims, particularly regarding women. This study shows that the main character faces cultural challenges different from her origin country in carrying out religious practices, especially Islam. Nonetheless, the main character can adapt to the values of both cultures.

Authors: Riaz Anam , Hafeez Imran
Published: May 2022

Abstract: Material that makes bound with bitumen known as bituminous material. For determination of properties of bituminous material various field test and techniques are used which are time consuming and have expensive material cost. To avoid such problems, techniques are required which can provide basic input parameters for materials models to be used in MEPDG Level-I pavement design input. The properties of bitumen can be fully described by using both the complex modulus and phase angles. Black Space diagram determines the viscosity, Stiffness, and elasticity by using complex modulus and phase angle and the G* and δ linked to Glover-Rowe concept which defines the two damaging zones that are damage onset and significant cracking. Cole-Cole plot shows the viscous and elastic behaviour of bitumen. Two bitumen grade 40-50 and 60-70 penetration grade and PMB (modified 60-70 with 1.6% elvaloy) were studied at six temperatures of 18, 24,30,36,42 and 48oC and in a frequency range of 0.01Hz to 100Hz using a DSR (dynamic shear rheometer).

Cryptocurrency based Payment channel for Edge/ IoT devices
Authors: Umare Sanjana S. , Pote Prof. Ms Santoshi
Published: May 2022

Abstract: Due to the potential applications in a range of industries, blockchain-based cryptocurrencies have recently gained a lot of attention worldwide. One of these applications is in the domain of the Internet of Things. With B-IoT i.e. merging Blockchain with IoT, we aim to utilize the power of cryptocurrencies without jeopardising payment security, privacy, or long transaction period. On the other hand, traditional payment modes and methods are hampered by relatively lengthy complex process fees making them vulnerable to physical cash exchange thefts. This makes the process of transferring assets complex. By developing a payment channel network, we propose an entirely new and unique model to address these concerns by allowing nodes to build payment channels between themselves without needing to write to the network and benefit us from payment networks like blockchain. Payment channel networks have an exceptional set of characteristics regarding routing complexity. In this study, we describe a detailed analysis of a payment channel network design that will help us make the transaction process through the edge and IoT systems a lot faster and more accessible. Furthermore, there are various references which show that using edge-IoT devices to connect nodes greatly improves the success and efficiency rate. Index Terms: Cryptocurrency, Blockchain, Edge and IoT devices, Payment channel network, Security, Ethereum.

Published: May 2022

Abstract: We have seen that the inception of the Internet has incredibly revolutionized many fields. One of the major fields that the Internet has revolutionized is communication. And talking about communication, the first thing that comes to our mind is Email. Emails are considered to be the most reliable way of communication over the Internet, for sending or receiving some important information. But there is a special condition for humans to access the Internet and it is that you must be able to see. But there are some visually challenged people or blind people who cannot see a computer screen or access a simple keyboard. According to a survey there are more than approximately 250 million visually challenged people around the globe. The only way by which a visually impaired person can send an Email is, they have to dictate the entire content of the mail to a third person (not visually challenged) and then the third person will compose the mail and send it on the behalf of the visually impaired person. But this is not the correct way to deal with such a problem. It is very less likely that every time a visually challenged person can find someone for help. Although for these reasons the especially abled people are criticized by our society. So, for the betterment of society and giving equal status to such especially abled people we have come up with this project idea which provides the user with the ability to send email using voice commands without the need of a keyboard or any other visual things. Voice technology can make powerful contributions to society, especially where hands-free technology is needed in hospitals and care centers. This can be used in writing emails as well! The base idea behind our project is to use voice for writing emails.

Abstract: An ERP system or Enterprise Resource Planning System has been one of the most effective and useful implementations that have been highly effective and useful. The ERP’s are extremely capable of providing a robust organization and streamlining of the entire business with ease. The ERP’s have been extensively used in the recent years due to the immense cost benefits and effective management of the entire processes of running an organization. Deployment of ERP’s is an extremely costly procedure as it is an extensive and detailed implementation, which is the reason why most of it was concentrated towards the large corporations. This has also been the reason why most of these innovative approaches were not as accessible for the medium and small businesses. The high cost also prevented many researchers in accessing these systems and implementing various improvements. Therefore, there is a need for an effective approach for designing a useful approach towards an ERP for the purpose of managing a small to medium organizations. This approach will be defined effectively in the future versions of this research study. Keywords: Enterprise Resource Planning System, Cloud Storage.

Abstract: The current railway or bus ticket booking system is human dependent and tedious with regards to the ticket booking process. The core objective of our project is to develop the web-application which will serve as a medium for students/employees/anyone to book the tickets to travel through trains or bus. The principle motive force of this web-application is to ease the process of ticket booking by avoiding the hectic and boisterous processto stand in a queue and book the ticket for the short distance for travelling in the trains. Several applications are available in the market which gives information about the travelling destinations and their fares. However, none of these applications incorporate the ticket booking process coordinated for both train and bus. Our applicationcontrasts from such a lot of existing applications as it would book the ticket as well as save the ticket in the clouddatabase for both train and bus. Ticket can be bought with the help of smart phone, laptop using the web-application where your railway tickets can be carried in your phone. The ticketing information of the user is securely stored in the cloud database.Additionally, the ticket checker is given the checker application which is utilized for the approval of the ticket appeared by the user. This framework gives the ticket checker web-application to look for the user's ticket with the ticket number or other appropriate information in the cloud database for checking purposes. Consider that the user's display is being damaged and not able to show the ticket due to other reasons like battery failure we have another safeguard alternative to check the ticket by searching in the ticket database with the ticket numberor user’s other relevant information for validation purpose.

Abstract: The COVID-19 epidemic has so quickly affected our daily lives and disrupted trade and movement. Wearing a protective face mask has become a new trend. In the near future, more and more public service providers will be asking clients to wear the mask properly to benefit their services. Therefore, the discovery of a face mask has become an important task of helping the international community. This paper introduces a simplified way to achieve this goal using basic machine learning packages such as TensorFlow, Keras. The proposed method detects the surface in the image correctly and indicates whether it has a mask on it or not. As a security guard, it can also detect faces and moving masks. The method achieves 95.77% accuracy and 94.58% respectively for different data sets. We evaluated improved parameter values using the Sequential Convolutional Neural Network model to determine the presence of the mask correctly without causing excessive alignment.

Abstract: In arising nation, the majority of the demise is due accident. The accident ratio is increases in thehilly area due to the fog and landslide. Also, in the hilly roads they have narrow U turns due to this the driver of a vehicle cannot see vehicle coming from opposite site. Due to fog the driver cannot find the road if they are not familiar with the road and they got accident. Many of the people loses their life due to this problem. The solution of the problem of the vehicle comes from opposite way is solving by using of IR sensor, which sense the upcoming vehicle and blow up the red led opposite side of the road. Due to this the opposite side driver know about the vehiclecoming from opposite side and it wait the passing of the vehicle. Those drivers who not able to see the road in the fog we install the red led around the road which indicate the position of the road and driver must have follow to it due to this the driver will avoid falling into the dich. We also install the humidity and the temperature sensor wo always indicate about the temperature and the humidity, Due to this those people who have this type of problem theyavoid to go these places. Due to this the accident ratio is decreases. And the main point is the whole equipment is running on renewable energy resources.
