Abstract Background: Generally, a person's dominant hand is a simple and precise determinant of his preference for hand use in fine manual tasks. The main tools used in forensics are derived from the relationships between anthropometric features with important physical and /or biological traits. Objective: This study was to determine the association between facial types and handedness among students of the Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences of Bayero University, Kano. Methodology: Cross-sectional study design with a consecutive sampling of 400 (180 males and 220 females) students (aged 18 and above) of the Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences Bayero University, Kano was carried out. Facial height (FH) and facial width (FW) were measured using established landmarks and the facial index (FI) was calculated from them. The dominant handedness of each participant was determined using the writing component of the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory. This procedure involved asking the participants to mention which of their hands was dominant. The participant was then asked to write a sentence regarding the activities he/she was carrying out at the point of recruitment to ascertain the claim made by the participants. The sentence was written separately using each hand. All the data obtained were analyzed using statistical software (SPSS version 20.0). Results: The study population was relatively young (21.76 ± 2.77 years). Right-handedness was the commonest hand dominance observed in both males (90.7%) and females (91.7%). The commonest types of face were the hypereuriproscopic 2 (0.5%), Euriproscopic 41 (10.3%), Mesoproscopic 78 (19.5%), Leptoproscopic 127 (31.8%) and Hyperleptoproscopic 152 (37%) facial types. The majority of the participants were right-handed and this was regardless of gender. The prediction of handedness based on facial types (ꭕ2 = 1.39, Df =3, P = 0.85) or facial index (P = 0.92, OR=0.99, CI = 0.82 – 1.19) was not statistically significant. Conclusion: The facial types identified among the study population were not associated with their handedness and thus it was not a good predictor of handedness.

IMPACTS OF COVID-19 ON THE INFORMAL SECTOR OF INDIA
Authors: Kaur Simranjeet
Published: April 2023

The Indian economy is comprised of both the formal or organized sector and the informal or unorganized sector. Both
these sectors were severely harmed during the Covid-19 pandemic. The government of India announced an abrupt and
sudden lockdown without any prior steps of combating the drawbacks of such an abrupt action. This left the informal sector completely stranded
amidst the pandemic. Taking this into consideration, the paper tries to discuss the impacts of the lockdown on the informal sector. While stressing
on the adversaries faced by the labourers, the paper addresses the negative impacts of the lockdown on the female workers in the informal sector.
Followed by this contextual discussion, the paper attempts to discuss the steps and schemes promulgated by the government for combating this
crisis and its limitations. Finally, the paper concludes with an attempt on briey analyzing the contingencies and suggesting ways forward to meet
the exigencies
On modules over the mod 2 Steenrod algebra and hit problems
Authors: Võ Phúc Đặng
Published: April 2023

Let us consider the prime field of two elements, $\mathbb F_2.$  The classical "hit problem" in Algebraic Topology, which is widely considered to be an important and fascinating open problem that has yet to be resolved, asks for a minimal set of generators for the polynomial algebra, $\mathcal P_m:=\mathbb F_2[x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_m]$, on $m$ variables $x_1, \ldots, x_m$, each of which has degree one, regarded as a connected unstable $\mathscr A$-module. The algebra $\mathcal P_m$ is the cohomology with $\mathbb F_2$-coefficients of the product of $m$ copies of the Eilenberg-MacLan complex $K(\mathbb F_2, 1)$. Despite extensive study over the past three decades, the hit problem remains unresolved for $m\geq 5$. 

In this article, we develop our previous work [Commun. Korean Math. Soc. \textbf{35} (2020), 371-399] on the hit problem for $\mathscr A$-module $\mathcal P_5$ in the generic degree $n_s = 5(2^{s}-1) + 18.2^{s}$ with $s$ an arbitrary non-negative integer. As a consequence, a localized variation  of the Kameko conjecture, which concerns the dimension of the cohit space $\mathbb F_2\otimes_{\mathscr A}\mathcal P_m$ in relation to parameter vectors, has been claimed to be veracious in the instance where $m = 5$ and the degree is $n_s.$ Also, we show that this conjecture also holds for any $m\geq 1$ and degrees $\leq 12.$ This study has two important applications:  (1) it establishes the dimension result for the cohit space $\mathbb F_2\otimes_{\mathscr A}\mathcal P_m$ for $m = 6$ in the generic degree $5(2^{s+4}-1) + n_1.2^{s+4}$ with $s > 0;$ and (2) it describes the representations of the general linear group of rank $5$ over $\mathbb F_2.$ As a result, we prove that the algebraic transfer, defined by W. Singer [Math. Z. \textbf{202} (1989), 493-523], is an isomorphism in bidegrees $(5, 5+n_s)$ with $s\geq 0.$ Besides, we obtain new results on the behavior of this algebra transfer for all homological degrees $m$. Specifically, we demonstrate that Singer's transfer is a trivial isomorphism in bidegree $(m, m+12)$ for any $m > 0$.
Convex Hull of Ellipsoids: A New Tool for Constrained Control of Uncertain Time-Varying Linear Discrete-Time Systems
Authors: Hoai Nam Nguyen
Published: April 2023

The convex hull of ellipsoids was suggested in the literature for robust invariance and robust controlled invariance of a constrained uncertain and/or time-varying linear discrete-time system. It was show that this class of sets can reduce significantly the conservativeness of the ellipsoidal set. However, the design conditions are  given in terms of bilinear matrix inequalities (BMIs), which are non-convex. The main purpose of this paper is to present a way to overcome this weakness by providing new convex linear matrix inequality (LMI) design conditions. It is shown that the conditions are losslessly extended to stabilization, providing then an LMI solution to the non-linear state feedback control design problem of constrained uncertain time-varying linear discrete-time systems Two examples are included with comparison to earlier solutions from the literature to illustrate the results. 
The Engineering Method: a Framework for Understanding Technology Development
Authors: GARCIA DIOGO
Published: April 2023

Contribution: This paper offers a general framework of technology development which allows for (a) a systematic approach to analyze technologies’ main components, strengths, limitations and forward paths; (b) a better understanding by en- gineers of their practices and their projects; and (c) a clearer way to convey the engineering enterprise to students, non-engineering stakeholders in projects and the general public. Background: Technology has been an immense force of material, economical and societal change in the last centuries. Several authors, such as Marshall McLuhan and Kevin Kelly, developed important ideas related to technology and the engineering process, but there seem to remain gaps between these theories to be explored, bridged and extrapolated. Research questions: (1) What are engineers’ aims in developing technologies? (2) What are technology’s main components, and its relationships? (3) What differentiates the engineering enterprise from others? Methodology: Integrate previous theories of technology, apply more technical concepts that were not addressed by writers who did not come from an engineering background, and derive consequences from the proposed methods. Findings: A proper theory of technology can better guide engineers from several branches to understand their practices and the fruits of their labor. It also aids in explaining these points to stakeholders, students and the general public.
Multi-User IR-HARQ Latency and Resource Optimization for URLLC
Authors: Santos Rafael , Castanheira Daniel , Silva Adão , Gameiro Atílio
Published: April 2023

The ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) tight latency requirements paired with transmission of small payload packets motivates the development of techniques that reduce or eliminate the need for dynamic scheduling. This justifies the study of grant free (GF) leveraged techniques in order to reduce both the latency and control signaling overhead. Previous works considered preallocating resources not only for the first transmission, but also for all possible IR-HARQ transmissions, effectively reducing the scheduling latency and control signaling overhead. However, this has several drawbacks, as it translates into wasted resources. To address these issues, we propose a group-based preallocation method combined with IR-HARQ. Initially, a pool of preallocated resources is assigned to a group of users, which then cooperatively use IR-HARQ feedback signals to distribute, on the fly, the resources amongst them without collisions. The proposed method has two phases: a preallocation phase that takes place once at the group formation stage and a transmission phase which happens at each uplink transmission. The transmission parameters for all possible transmission scenarios are selected at the preallocation stage, with the goal of reducing the latency under reliability and energy constraints. The transmission parameters are obtained through a constrained latency optimization procedure, which considers the stochastic nature of the underlying process. We prove that, asymptotically, the proposed scheme is able to reduce the latency, at least, down to the average latency of any single user (SU) HARQ.  The numerical results show that the latency and resources wastage is significantly reduced comparatively to single user IR-HARQ with preallocated resources. 
Coupled Resonator-Based Metasurface Reflector with Enhanced Magnitude and Phase Coverage
Authors: K. Emara Mohamed , Kundu Debidas , MacDonell Keigan , Rufail Leandro M. , Gupta Shulabh
Published: April 2023

A metasurface reflector unit cell is proposed for achieving near-complete-range of complex reflectance (i.e., magnitude and phase) for versatile beamforming capabilities. The unit cell is based on coplanar coupled resonators: a split ring resonator (SRR) with a lumped capacitor and a lumped resistor, and a dipole ring resonator (DRR) with another lumped capacitor. The DRR inserted inside the SRR creates a coupled resonance configuration which results in an enhanced complex reflectance range at the desired frequency. To provide a physical insight and explain the operation principle of the structure, the response of the unit cell is modeled as a coupled Lorentz oscillator via the effective surface susceptibilities, where a unique plasma, damping constant, and resonant frequency can be attributed to each resonator. The proposed unit cell is demonstrated in an array configuration for linear-polarized beamforming, where full-wave simulations are used to demonstrate beam-steering, gain control, side-lobe level control and dual- and triple-beam generation, as illustrative examples. Finally experimental demonstration is performed to validate the full-wave results and obtain in-depth electrical characterization of the reflectors. 
Bullismo etnico pregiudiziale: il ruolo di fattori individuali e contestuali
Authors: Taiti Maria Chiara
Published: April 2023

Multi-ethnic societies have the potential to enrich societies culturally (Mok et al. 2007), but they can also foster intolerance and anti-immigrant movements, where minorities may be more likely to be discriminated (Baysu et al. 2014; Rutland and Killen 2015) and bullied if this behaviour is repeated over time. A socio-ecological perspective becomes fundamental because the context, together with specific individual characteristics, contributes to maintaining negative attitudes towards those who belong to a different ethnic group. In this regard, the general objective of this study is to further investigate the phenomenon of ethnic bullying in adolescence and to shed light on the role played by the context and specific individual factors that are associated with it.
Il test di associazione implicita (IAT) per il cambiamento climatico. Una revisione sistematica PRISMA
Authors: Fiorenza Maria Martina
Published: April 2023

The global environmental concerns that affect our planet require immediate action. In order to better understand the psychological dynamics underlying the adoption of pro-environmental behaviors, the research has directed increasing attention to the implicit (unconscious) psychological antecedents (attitudes) of sustainable behaviors, which have been adopted against climate change. The objective of this systematic review is to examine and to summarize the state-of-the-art in the field of the relationship between implicit attitudes towards climate change measured through the Implicit Association Test (IAT), and explicit attitudes, beliefs, and identity toward climate change. Based on PRISMA guidelines, a structured electronic literature search of Google Scholar, PsycInfo, PubMed, Science Direct, PsycArticles, Sociological Abstracts, and Academic Search Complete was conducted. Of the 943 abstracts screened, only 18 studies met the inclusion criteria. Most studies testified independence between implicit and explicit attitudes towards climate change (absence of correlation). Despite this, implicit attitudes still predicted pro-environmental identity, while contradictory results appeared with beliefs. This highlights the urgency of promoting new research to understand on a deeper level dynamics involving implicit attitudes.

Authors: Kulberg Taub Mikol
Published: April 2023

The poster describes the first phase of a research on the impact of Service-Learning on in-service and future teachers and educators, as mentioned in the research questions. This study started with a literacy review about Service-Learning, in both national and international framework. The Italian way of Service-Learning has been further investigated, using the work of Don Milani as a cultural reference. The research continued with an analysis of the normative and national literature about this approach. It is followed by a systematic review concerning the research questions, making use of Prisma statement. Four different databases were used for the investigation. As result of using a list of inclusion/exclusion criteria, 60 studies were eligible for full text analysis. The results underlined a lack of studies focusing on the Italian context, and a strong unbalance between studies concerning in-service teachers and pre-teachers. Results will orient the empiric part of the research for future steps.
Definizione e costruzione di una rete di Scuole che Promuovono Salute
Authors: Leporatti Daniele
Published: April 2023

Schools are able to make a significant contribution to students’ health and well-being . This is widely recognised by international organisations, including the World Health Organisation (WHO), UNICEF, UNESCO, the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the International Union for Health Promotion and Education (IUHPE). The strategies and programmes that have been implemented worldwide over the past 20 years, have in common a comprehensive approach to schools, despite their differences. They recognise the fact that all aspects of school community life play an important role in health promotion. With this type of approach, it has become clear that it is not enough to include health education in the school educational offer. If schools are to fulfil their potential in promoting the health of the younger generations, the approach must be broader. In this context, the Regional School Office assumes a coordinating role, between the institutions and the different stakeholders, to implement the policies related to the Regional Prevention Plan and to the qualitative and quantitative description of the health of all subjects belonging to the school community in order to respond with guidance and governance tools to the needs of the different categories.
Promuovere l’apprendimento delle STEM con le tecnologie educative nella scuola secondaria di secondo grado: opportunità e criticità. X-Reality e STEM: opportunità e criticità
Authors: Roffi Alice
Published: April 2023

Nowadays, scientific literacy is a key aspect for active citizenship and for making informed decisions regarding scientific issues of everyday life. However, the PISA 2018 data highlight the low scientific competence of the upper secondary school students, underlining the need to foster STEM teaching. In particular, the use of the so-called X-Reality for acquiring scientific skills and to increase interest in the discipline seem promising. During the first year of my PhD, I carried out a scoping review on STEM teaching with X-Reality in the context of secondary school. The main purpose was to draw a state-of-the-art regarding X-Reality use, focusing on potential, critical aspects and challenges. After the search and selection process, 10 articles were included in the analysis. The results showed the effectiveness of X-Reality in promoting the achievement of learning objectives, the interest in the discipline and the long-term retention of knowledge. These results will be the starting point for setting up the empirical part of the PhD project.

TOWARDS INTEGRATING REHABILITATION INTO HEALTH SYSTEMS
THROUGH PROFESSIONAL REGULATION
Authors: Lowe Rachael
Published: April 2023

Strengthening rehabilitation in health systems and integrating rehabilitation across all levels of care depends on a mix of strategies, however all depend on an appropriately trained, resourced and organized workforce. Indeed, among the ten areas for action described in the World Health Organization 2030 initiative is developing a strong multidisciplinary rehabilitation workforce that is suitable for country context, and promoting rehabilitation concepts across all health workforce education.

The rehabilitation workforce is constantly evolving as it strives to provide safe practices and treatment choices based on the best available evidence to improve function, promote independence and help people reach their maximum potential. However, barriers to this evolution include a lack of well-resourced training programs, variations in the competencies expected within the standard entry-level curriculum, limited opportunities for continuing professional development, geopolitical instability, competing demands for limited health budgets and persistent de-prioritization of rehabilitation.

Published: April 2023

Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to determine the impact of IASTM on musculoskeletal soft tissue injuries. Materials and Methods: In order to find terms like “instrument,” “assisted,” “soft tissue dysfunction AND wrist, back, elbow, knee, ankle and foot”, “interventions AND IASTM,” studies from conception to December 2021 were systematically analyzed across seven electronic databases: Medline, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, Scopus, PEDro, and Web of Science. The inclusion criteria for the systematic review were thus met by (n=14) randomized controlled studies. Results: IASTM treatments are associated with both short and long-term pain reduction and improved functioning. IASTM was discovered to have a short-term favorable effect on the functioning of patients with soft tissue injuries. Conclusion: It was established that IASTM had a short-term positive impact on the functionality of individuals with soft tissue injuries in different body regions. Future researches should focus on acquiring information about long-term effects using credible evidence.

Published: April 2023

Aim: To evaluate the immediate effects of various activity levels on knee joint position sense.
Methodology: Sixty males aged between 19 and 24 years, without any complains of discomfort or pain in the knee joint were selected from Bakhtawar Amin Hospital, Multan using convenience sampling, between April 2nd, 2019 to July 28th, 2019. Group A participants walked on the treadmill at a speed of 4 km/h for 5 min (n = 20). Group B participants ran on a treadmill at 6.4 km per hour for five minutes (n = 20). Group C participants sprinted on a treadmill at 8.5 km per hour for five minutes (n = 20).
Results: Mean age of the subjects was 21.18±1.77. In the moderate physical activity group, the difference in the means in passive reproduction of the knee flexion angle of 20o observed was 1.40±2.39, (p-value 0.013), and similarly in intense physical activity was 1.75±3.58 (p-value 0.020). For the knee flexion angle of 40o, the difference in the means for moderate was 1.35±1.84 (p=0.002), and for the intense activity was 2.35±2.27 (p=0.012). However, in the group with mild physical activity, the difference in the means was statistically insignificant.
Conclusion: The study indicated that physical activities of moderate level and intense level decrease the joint position sense appreciation at the knee joint in less active healthy individuals.
