In my future shoes: using VR decision support tools in moral and practical prenatal decisions for an enriched and less biased simulation of one’s future self (Preprint)
Authors: Tyebally-Fang Mirriam , Spitale Giovanni , Viganó Eleonora
Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND

An expectant mother faces several decisions related to pregnancy that cannot be tackled with the rational choice method or by consulting medical evidence. These choices are moral and practical prenatal decisions, which involve respectively the prospective mother’s moral and practical identities. Current genetic counselling services do not support expectant mothers in such decisions, and the mental processes employed, such as mental simulation, are prone to decision-making biases that increase the likelihood of making sub-optimal decisions.

OBJECTIVE

We show how the quality of moral and practical prenatal decisions can be improved using virtual reality (VR) and provide practical recommendations for the design and development of an effective and ethically aligned VR tool for such prenatal decisions.

METHODS

This is a theoretical study on moral and practical decisions in pregnancy, which adopts the logical-conceptual method of philosophy.

RESULTS

VR technology is a suitable decision-support tool for making moral and practical prenatal decisions. Yet, to be effective and ethically aligned, VR should comply to a set of practical recommendations for its design and development that we provide.

CONCLUSIONS

VR allows the operationalization of biopsychosocial support in the clinical encounter, facilitates the individual’s reflection on her values and beliefs, supports the contextualization of available choices to an individual’s circumstance, presents complex information in more understandable forms, and enhances the ability of mental simulation.
An effective VR tool facilitating decision-making in moral and practical prenatal decisions should consider the specific needs of its target audience and be built in consultation with the relevant stakeholders and experts in the field (e.g., social workers, therapists, clinicians). Moreover, VR scenarios that are part of this tool should be community specific, presented in an emotionally balanced manner, and based in reality. Finally, VR tools should be distributed as part of a public health program for reasons of fairness.
This study provides the theoretical basis and framework for the development of a better consulting support in pregnancy and contributes to a more inclusive patient engagement in prenatal decision-making, which has been advocated for in contemporary medical practice.

News Coverage of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Social Media and the Public’s Negative Emotions: Computational Study (Preprint)
Authors: Wang Hanjing , Li Yupeng , Ning Xuan
Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND

Social media has become an increasingly popular and critical tool for users to digest diverse information and express their perceptions and attitudes. While most studies endeavor to delineate the emotional responses of social media users, there is limited research exploring the factors associated with the emergence of emotions, particularly negative ones, during news consumption.

OBJECTIVE

We aim to first depict the web coverage by news organizations on social media and then explore the crucial elements of news coverage that trigger the public’s negative emotions. Our findings can act as a reference for responsible parties and news organizations in times of crisis.

METHODS

We collected 23,705 Facebook posts with 1,019,317 comments from the public pages of representative news organizations in Hong Kong. We used text mining techniques, such as topic models and Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers, to analyze news components and public reactions. Beyond descriptive analysis, we used regression models to shed light on how news coverage on social media is associated with the public’s negative emotional responses.

RESULTS

Our results suggest that occurrences of issues regarding pandemic situations, antipandemic measures, and supportive actions are likely to reduce the public’s negative emotions, while comments on the posts mentioning the central government and the Government of Hong Kong reveal more negativeness. Negative and neutral media tones can alleviate the rage and interact with the subjects and issues in the news to affect users’ negative emotions. Post length is found to have a curvilinear relationship with users’ negative emotions.

CONCLUSIONS

This study sheds light on the impacts of various components of news coverage (issues, subjects, media tone, and length) on social media on the public’s negative emotions (anger, fear, and sadness). Our comprehensive analysis provides a reference framework for efficient crisis communication for similar pandemics at present or in the future. This research, although first extending the analysis between the components of news coverage and negative user emotions to the scenario of social media, echoes previous studies drawn from traditional media and its derivatives, such as web newspapers. Although the era of COVID-19 pandemic gradually brings down the curtain, the commonality of this research and previous studies also contributes to establishing a clearer territory in the field of health crises.

Authors: Zulhaedar Fitria , Nurudin Makruf , Hanudin Eko
Published: April 2023

Current land management is a challenge for wetlands vertisol soil types, especially on the rice production, which often clashes with future soil quality. This study aimed to obtain optimal performance of rice growth and  physical and chemical properties of vertisol soil on various tillage systems. The study was carried out in the vertisol rice fields of Batu Bolong sub-village, Ungga village, Southwest Praya District, Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara during the second growing season (March-October) in 2021. The experimental design was arranged in a Completely Randomized Design consisting of three levels of: no-tillage as T1, minimum tillage as T2, and maximum tillage as T3, with each treatment being repeated five times. The use of production inputs and infrastructure was uniform in all experimental plots. The results showed that T2 treatment had some of the best parameters for rice growth and yield as well as the physical and chemical properties of the land. Plant height and number of tillers at T2 were significantly more maximal in observing the vegetative phase. The dry weight of 1000 grains and rice productivity from the highest were respectively T2 > T1 > T3. The physical and chemical parameters of the soil also showed the same order. Thus, it can be said that minimum tillage is the best tillage system to obtain the growth and yield of rice in the second growing season and the most optimal physical and chemical properties of vertisol soil.

Published: April 2023

The availability of irrigation water during the growing season reflects on the potential yield at the end of the peanuts’ growing season. Monitoring water availability is essential to optimize production. This study aimed to identify the effect of irrigation water on peanuts (Arachis hypogaea (L.) Merr.) under various irrigation conditions between actual and simulated AquaCrop. The research was conducted in the experimental field utilizing four irrigation treatments which were 60%, 80%, 100% of  field capacity (FC), and standard irrigation. The correlation results between the actual and simulated ones showed that the R2 value was 0.974–0.990 for the canopy cover parameter, 0.026–0.534 for ETc, and 0.542-0.554 for production. Comparison between actual and simulated AquaCrop showed Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) values of 5.08–­­9.74 for canopy cover parameters, 1.11–3.12 for ETc, and 0.82–1.09 for production. Welch test statistical analysis indicated values of 2.31–5.52 for plant biomass and 0.04–3.98 for dry pod yields. The AquaCrop simulation accurately predicted canopy cover at 80% irrigation treatment compared to 60%, 100%, and standard irrigation treatments. Parameter of ETc in AquaCrop simulations showed inaccurate predictions for biomass production and pod dry weight when compared with actual results on all irrigation treatments.

Literary Onomastics and Identity in Haruki Murakami’s and Easterine Kire’s Selected Novels
Authors: Hmar Rodi Lalrammawii
Published: May 2023

This paper attempts to study the significance of naming in the literary context of two selected works of Haruki Murakami and Easterine Kire respectively. Along with this, the study of the process of self-introspection that is revealed through the protagonists will also be undertaken. The blurring of the surreal and the real by Murakami, much like the magical realist novels, play a pivotal role in the formation of the protagonists’ selves. In Kire’s Son of the Thundercloud, the lack that the main protagonist feels is initiated by stories narrated to him during his childhood. This lack is subsequently intensified in the later years, when the protagonist’s family is wiped out when a drought affects their village. Like the Murakamian world, the world that Kire creates in her novel is a concoction of the surreal and the real. In the works of these authors, the fragmentation inherent in the characters is dealt with, often through the exodus of the main protagonists. This ‘reaching out’, more often than not, entails a re- telling of the past both literally and metaphorically. Reconciliation with the past is crucial for the future. In the course of this ordeal, the main protagonists’ search for meaning behind their names and the name of their acquaintances becomes a prerequisite for the formation of identity. This initially entails a process of disintegration of the ‘self’, or broadly, the ‘subject’. The paper will also lay emphasis on the study of how the protagonists try to attain integration from disintegration.
A Psychoanalytic-Feminist Study of Gender Bias in Indian Cinema
Authors: Kumari Priya
Published: May 2023

Psychoanalytic feminism is a theory of oppression which asserts that men have an inherent psychological need to subjugate women. The root of men’s compulsion to dominate women and women’s minimal resistance to subjugation lies deep within the human psyche. Indian film industry has been phallocentric depicting mainly male dominated narrative structure whereas women are reduced to marginalized roles only to glamorize the hero-centric set up. These films rarely portray women and their isolated worlds because this subject would be a commercial set back preventing audiences from hitting the theatres. This stereotyped representation of women has been always criticized by feminist film critics. Laura Mulvey, one of the most influential feminist film critic in her 1975 seminal essay “Visual Pleasure And Narrative Cinema” criticizes this patriarchal control and for-profit nature of cinema using psychoanalytic theory. Considering Mulvey’s psychoanalytic theory, this research paper attempts to explore that how social construction of patriarchy determines gender stereotyping & phallocentrism in Indian film industry and seeks to examine the various factors behind the misrepresentation of women in Indian cinema. The paper further intends to take into account why male centric films receive huge commercial success as compared to female ones.

Published: May 2023

Abstract: Cyberbullying has grown more prevalent on social networking sites. Cyberbullying has resulted in a significant increase in mental health issues, particularly among the younger population. Self-esteem and mental health difficulties will affect a whole generation of young adults unless action is made to combat cyberbullying. Many classical machine learning methods have already been used for the automated identification of cyberbullying on social media. Since the advent of social media platforms about 20 years ago, there haven't been many effective ways to stop social bullying, and it has recently grown to be one of the most concerning problems. In this project, we create an AI-based system for detecting cyberbullying and investigate ways to identify fraudulent profiles and abusive speech on social media while separating them from ordinary vulgarity. Applying supervised classification techniques to a manually annotated open-source dataset, we seek to create lexical baselines for this job.

Published: May 2023

Abstract: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) threatens to overwhelm our medical infrastructure at the regional level causing spikes in mortality rates because of shortages of critical equipment, like ventilators. Human lungs use lungs for respiration. They use push mechanism in each Breath. Inhalation and exhalation process takes place. The ventilator here we design is to help people during Covid situation. It is very cheap and affordable. When people suffer from lungs or breathing problem this can be used for emergency situation. Motor mechanism is used to push the air bag. When oxygen level counts are low this mechanism can be performed. Small screen is used to display the oxygen levels. The entire system is driven by an Arduino microcontroller and a buzzer is fitted to detect any low levels of oxygen count. In this study, after providing a background on ventilators, the academic literature is reviewed to find the existing and designs for ventilators systems. With the considerably larger motivation of an ongoing pandemic, it is assumed these projects will garner greater attention and resources to make significant progress to reach a functional and easily-replicated system. There is a large amount of future work needed to move Emergency Respiratory System up to the level considered scientific-grade equipment, and even further work needed to reach medical-grade hardware. Future work is needed to achieve the potential of this approach by developing policies, updating regulations, and securing funding mechanisms for the development and testing of Emergency Respiratory System for both the current COVID19 pandemic as well as for future pandemics.

Published: May 2023

Abstract: In this study, the dynamic stability of soil slopes was analysed using the finite element method (FEM). The analysis was performed using the Plaxis 2D software, which is a popular FEM software package. The study aimed to investigate the behaviour of soil slopes under dynamic loading conditions and to evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness of the FEM approach for predicting slope stability. A 2D slope model was created using Plaxis 2D, and dynamic analyses were performed under different loading conditions. A Shake Table was used for simulating the loading conditions at different frequencies and amplitude. The results of the analysis showed that the slope stability was highly dependent on the dynamic loading conditions and the soil properties. Under earthquake like ground motions which were simulated with the help of shake table under controlled environment, the slope experienced significant deformations and displacements. The deformations were calculated in the form of crest settlement and toe settlement. The study also evaluated the accuracy of the FEM approach by comparing the simulation results with the experimental data. The comparison showed that the FEM approach provided a good prediction of the slope behaviour under dynamic loading conditions and could be used as a reliable tool for analysing slope stability. Overall, the study demonstrated the effectiveness of the FEM approach for analysing the dynamic stability of soil slopes and highlighted the importance of considering dynamic loading conditions in slope stability analysis. The study also provided insights into the behaviour of soil slopes under different loading conditions and could be useful for designing safer and more stable slopes in practice.

Published: May 2023

Abstract: Agriculture is a crucial sector for many economies worldwide. The success of agriculture is largely dependent on the crops grown, which in turn rely on various factors such as soil properties. To aid farmers in making informed decisions about crop selection based on soil properties, crop prediction systems have been developed. This work presents a crop prediction system that utilizes soil properties and PySpark. The main aim of this work is to forecast the most suitable crop to be grown in a given area based on its soil properties. The system takes input data of different soil parameters, such as pH, Nitrogen, etc., and uses machine learning algorithm to create a model for crop prediction. PySpark is used to manage large-scale soil data. The work's results demonstrate the effectiveness of PySpark in handling and analyzing large-scale data for crop prediction. The accuracy and performance of the system can be further improved by incorporating additional features and refining the Random forest algorithm is used in the model.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kim Sung-Ae
Published: May 2023

Objectives The current study aims to examine the perceptions and difficulties of early childhood pre-service teachers regarding infant and toddler observation through the method of metaphor analysis.
Methods One hundred nineteen pre-service teachers who had different academic and practical experiences (freshmen vs. juniors) participated in this study. Freshmen have not had an official chance to observe young children and have not taken the course related to child observation yet, while as juniors have experienced official child observation through their previous practicum and already have taken or are taking the course related to child observation. An open-ended survey questionnaire that requests the participant’s metaphor and their own reasons, and specific difficulties regarding infant and toddler observation was distributed. Data was analyzed in four steps, which include labeling -clarification and elimination -categorization -agreement processes.
Results Respondents’ metaphor was characterized into three categories:  a key of supporting young children and their play,  a required responsibility as a teacher, and  a portfolio as a collection of child characteristics. Regarding the difficulties of infant and toddler observation, the majority of pre-service teachers concerned (other) children’s safety while focusing on one child for observation and errors of observation such as lack of objectivity or misinterpretation.
Conclusions The study finding can contribute to curricula development and practicum experiences by reflecting pre-service teachers’ perceptions, priorities, and concerns regarding child observation.

Published: May 2023

Objectives This study aims to analyze vocabulary emphasis using K-POP and find ways to learn about it, reflecting that this expression is also a characteristic of K-POP and that many foreign learners want to learn Korean through K-POP.
Methods Since there are various meanings and uses of the Korean lexical emphasis expression, this paper examines the lexical characteristics and analyzes the vocabulary shown in the K-POP lyrics. In addition, an efficient educational plan was suggested by analyzing the error pattern of vocabulary emphasis and revealing the cause of the error based on the results.
Results First, there is a problem that learners cannot accurately select infinitives according to the characteristics of each type for negative emphasis expression. Accordingly, there is a need to educate what infinitive is appropriate when the subject is different. Second, it is necessary to educate learners about adverbial emphasis so that they can use appropriate adverbs for each situation. Third, in the case of repeated and derivative emphasized expressions, there are many situations in which the meaning of the vocabulary itself is not known rather than incorrectly written, so education is needed.
Conclusions It is necessary to use K-POP in order to efficiently educate Korean vocabulary emphasis. Accordingly, the Korean vocabulary emphasized expressions contained in K-POP were listed, and a teaching and learning model of negative emphasized expressions with many errors was presented.

Objectives The present study aims to explain the subjectivity and subjectivization of the adverb “Sasil”, analyzing how the meaning of the adverb “Sasil” changes from tis objective meaning to its subjective meaning, and finally forms its pragmatic meaning.
Methods This study focuses on the objective and subjective usage of the adverb “Sasil” by taking the example sentences in “21st Century Sejong Corpus” as the research object. Through subjectivity and subjectivity theory, the process of strengthening subjectivity of the adverb ‘fact’ was analyzed. With the progress of subjectiveization, we looked at how it changes from the objective role described in the dictionary to the pragmatic use.
Results The analysis shows that the objective semantics of “Sasil” are generally as follows: 1) Objective comparison and conversion of the former and latter contents, 2) The latter content of “Sasil” makes objective amendments to the former one, 3) The latter content supplements the former one. Situations with speaker subjectivity are generally interpreted as follows: 1) The speaker's subjective assessment of the objective situation, 2) Negative emotions such as dissatisfaction, disagreement and worry are added to the latter content, 3) The function of objective contrast and transformation as the basic meaning disappears and evolves into the subjective extension of the speaker, 4) The objective meaning disappears completely and is used as a pragmatic function of the speaker to maintain the subject.
Conclusions It can be concluded that with the development of subjectivization, “Sasil” has gradually changed from typical meaning to abstract pragmatic meaning.

Objectives The purposes of this study were to investigate the relationships between positive self-concept and stress level among beauty industry workers.
Methods The survey was conducted by 318 beauty industry workers. The collected data was analyzed through the SPSS 25 program. Mediating effects were investigated using the Process Macre of Hayes (Model 4).
Results The results of this study were as follows: First, this was a significant effect of positive self-concept on stress level. Second, positive self-concept was significantly associated with three different types of stress coping strategies. Lastly, stress coping strategy using avoidance had significant negative effect on stress level while other strategies were not significant.
Conclusions Through this study, it was found that stress coping strategies through avoidance were mediated in the relationship between positive self-concept and stress response. In other words, it was confirmed that avoiding stress response changes the direction of impact on stress response in the relationship between positive self-concept and stress response of beauty industry workers, so intervention to reduce avoidance and increase positive self-concept is necessary at the same time.

Published: April 2023

This paper is a study on the fire resistance of wood and securing the performance of insects, which are still emerging as problems in order to convert the various advantages and excellence of hanok into modern architectural methods. To verify the research results, the test was conducted by applying it to the building materials of hanok, and the results of the research were summarized as follows.
First, wood with fire resistance regulations is relatively safe from fire. Wood has a very low heat transfer rate and a relatively low ignition temperature on the surface is a relatively safe material compared to other materials because when a fire breaks out, the carbonized part of the surface additionally blocks heat transfer and prevents the inside from being carbonized.
Second, in the case of hanok, the standard of the member that can be used as a fireproof material is 460mm×600mm long in the case of beams, 360mm in diameter, 3,600mm high in the case of cylinders, and 300mm×300mm high in each column.
Third, in order to prevent insects such as termites, insect repellent paint is directly applied to wood, a building material, to show the performance of the room. In comparison to existing termite damage prevention methods such as fumigation, soil treatment, and termite colony removal systems, insect repellent paints show excellent performance in difficulty, cost, use of eco-friendly products, and room effects.

Authors: Batista Barbosa Adriano , Rangel Pontes Vinícia
Published: April 2023

A fobia odontológica afeta considerável parcela da população, a ansiedade e medo frente ao tratamento dentário induzem pacientes ao cancelamento ou adiamento de tratamentos essenciais, agravando assim o seu quadro clínico. As abordagens restauradoras minimamente invasivas preconizam maior preservação dos tecidos dentários, diminuindo o desconforto e dor durante as intervenções. Sob esta ótica o Tratamento Restaurador Atraumático (ART) dispensa o uso das turbinas rotatórias, da anestesia local, do isolamento absoluto e utiliza o Cimento de Ionômero de Vidro de alta viscosidade nas restaurações. A relevância do ART no panorama odontológico e sua ampla utilização nos serviços públicos e privados de assistência bucal justificam a realização desta revisão narrativa de literatura, realizada a partir de artigos publicados nos últimos dois anos, acessados nas bases de dados online Scientific Eletronic Library On-line (Scielo), MEDLINE e LILACS. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo reconhecer a fobia odontológica e associá-la à indicação do ART assim como definir a efetividade desta proposta de intervenção, colaborando para seu uso de forma criteriosa e adequada.

A região de cabeça e pescoço pode ser acometida por doenças infecciosas de origem não odontogênica ou odontogênica - sendo essa geralmente de causa endodôntica. A saúde bucal faz parte do sistema corporal de um indivíduo, desse modo, a negligência com seus cuidados gera um impacto sistêmico. Sendo assim, o objetivo do presente trabalho é analisar o desenvolvimento das infecções odontogênicas desde a necrose pulpar às possíveis repercussões sistêmicas, como: Angina de Ludwing, Mediastinite Necrosante, Fasceíte Necrosante, Endocardite Bacteriana, Sinusite do Seio Maxilar e Osteomielite. É de suma importância que o profissional cirurgião dentista conheça a patogênese dessas infecções, para que este seja capaz de elaborar um diagnóstico precoce e preciso, bem como saiba utilizar os protocolos de prevenção e condutas, a fim de evitar graves complicações sistêmicas. A partir dessa elucidação, será possível evitar o adoecimento do corpo gerado por uma doença da cavidade oral.
