ABSTRACT

Organization (WHO) as a pandemic, namely a disease that is transmitted globally (global outbreak). The Covid-19 pandemic as a non-natural disaster is becoming increasingly "dangerous" if it is not addressed immediately because experts have yet to find the most effective drug and vaccine. This study aims to determine community empowerment through health promotion on preventing the spread of Covid-19 in East Java. The research method used in this research is a qualitative design. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews with due observance of health protocols and by using FGD (focus group discussion) on 158 participants through zoom meetings. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The results show that to achieve a healthy state, a person or group must be able to identify and be able to meet needs and change or control the environment. Prevent the spread of Covid-19 by washing your hands frequently with soap/hand sanitizer and applying cough etiquette. Improve health with community movements such as consumption of balanced nutrition, diligent exercise, adequate rest and frequent washing of hands with soap. It is concluded that prevention and control of the spread of Covid-19 through health promotion by empowering the community to achieve a healthy state, a person or group must be able to identify and realize aspirations, be able to meet needs and change or control the environment.

Background. Groundwater is the main source of drinking water in many countries around the world. It is an essential source of water for domestic, industrial and agricultural activities. In this research, groundwater was collected from Manduro village, Kabuh district, Jombang city. Iron sometimes referred to as “fly in the ointment” has been one of the most troublesome domestic water contaminants. Various quantities of iron are often present in water because of large amounts of iron present in the soil and because corrosive water will pick up iron from pipes clothing washed in water containing excessive iron may become stained with a brownish colour. Iron deposits may build up in tanks, water heater and pipelines reducing the quantity and quality of water. Iron can be present in several forms, and each form can potentially require a different method of removal. The study aims to develop a cheap and easy technology to reduce the presence of excess iron in groundwater.

Methods. The iron removal system is developed by slow sand filter and selecting coconut husk fibre as the substrate material of filter media. The filter media made from coconut husk fibre 15 cm, plain sand 15 cm, coconut husk fibre 20 cm, plain sand 20 cm, charcoal 15 cm, grave 10 cm and mineral stones 15 cm. The developed technique seemed to be very effective in reducing the iron concentration below 0.3 ppm as required Permenkes RI No. 492/MENKES/PER/IV/2010.

Result. The research result show that filter media could reduce iron content. The efficiency of the filter media in reduce of iron content is about 71 - 96%.

Conclusions. Media filter is effective for reduce iron content in groundwater up to 96% and has fulfilled Permenkes RI No. 492/MENKES/PER/IV/2010

Implication. This method can be applied to people who has the same problem. We can counseling how about made filter media to reduce iron content.

Published: May 2021

The problem experienced by toddlers is that growth disorders in Indonesia have started to emerge from children aged 1-6 months, so that efforts are needed to reduce the rate of growth disorders or to or to increase weight presentation. Increasing body weight is an indicator of infant health that can be used as a benchmark for infant growth. Body weight is the most important anthropometric measure and is most often used in newborns (neonates). One of the treatments that can be done to increase body weight is by giving massage to babies. Baby massage can stimulate the penvernaan hormones insulin and gaselin, so that food absorption becomes better. This causes babies to feel hungry quickly so they eat more often and gain weight. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of infant massage on infant weight gain. The method in this study is a literature review, which tries to explore how the effect of infant massage on infant weight gain. The results in this study indicate that the results of 6 previous studies indicate that there is a significant effect of infant massage on the increase in infant body weight. The conclusion in this study is that massage in infants can increase the baby's weight. This is because the massage that is carried out regularly on babies is used to massage the legs, stomach, chest, hands, back, and stretching movements can increase the baby's weight. The massage will cause nerve action potential that stimulates the vagus nerve.

Authors: García-Ortega Alba , García-Avilés José-Alberto
Published: May 2021

Los newsgames han demostrado ser útiles para mejorar el engagement y atraer a las audiencias más jóvenes. Sin embargo, todavía existen dudas sobre su capacidad para transmitir la información de forma eficaz. La presente investigación tiene como objetivo analizar su eficacia desde dos perspectivas: la recepción de la información y la experiencia de usuario. Para ello, se ha empleado un diseño cuasi experimental con dos instrumentos de medición: un prototipo de newsgame (Queen of picudos), que utiliza métricas internas para recopilar información sobre la interacción sistema-usuario; y un cuestionario online, que recoge información sobre la recepción del contenido y la usabilidad. Los resultados muestran diferentes patrones de comportamiento por género. Mientras que los hombres se centran en la jugabilidad del contenido, las mujeres lo hacen en el componente informativo. En relación con la experiencia de usuario, los hombres muestran mayor predisposición a consumir newsgames de forma habitual. A pesar de las diferencias observadas entre ambos sexos, los patrones de lectura no parecen influir en la recepción de la información. La mayoría de los participantes es capaz de recordar la información y responder de forma correcta a las preguntas planteadas.

Explaining trans-phase potential differences with membrane theory, association-induction hypothesis and murburn concept
Authors: Tamagawa Hirohisa , Mulembo Titus , Delalande Bernard , Manoj Kelath Murali
Published: May 2021

The characteristics of the experimentally measured trans-membrane potential (TMP) generated across an artificial membrane intervening two KCl solutions were found to be explicable using simple principles of electrochemistry, as given within the context of Association Induction Hypothesis (AIH). AIH suggests that the heterogeneous ion distribution which is caused by the adsorption of a mobile ion onto an immobile phase (bearing charge opposite to that of the mobile ion) is responsible for the TMP generation. Therefore, this work proposes AIH could be an important foundation for explaining the origin of TMP. Our experimental observation of nonzero TMP across an electrically charged non-biological/synthetic membrane is found to be intriguing, as such outcomes are classically associated to ion-pumping activities of membrane proteins in a living matter. Another experimental observation of nonzero potential across a neutral membrane is even more intriguing. Such a potential behavior is more in harmony with murburn concept, a new proposal for explaining redox metabolic and physiological phenomena.
An Empirical Study on the Development of Global Mindset Through Learning
Authors: Lab SDAG
Published: May 2021

This study aims to examine the development of global mindset, which is rarely addressed in a Korean international business journal. We investigate whether the global mindset is a static state that is difficult to change or a dynamically changeable competence. Based on the global mindset literature, we categorize the global mindset into three dimensions - cognition, skills and attitudes - and analyze the nature (static or dynamic) of each dimension. We collect survey questions from 269 undergraduate students. We use paired sample t-tests to analyze whether the undergraduates have changed their global mindsets in terms of cognition, skills and attitudes after taking the international business class during a semester. Results reveal that the levels of cognition and skills have increased after the class, but the attitude level shows no significant difference before and after the class. The results also show that overall global mindsets after the class become higher than before the class. We also find the positive moderating effects of global motivation and international experience on the relationship between the international business class and the global mindset. It means that the effectiveness of international business class on the global mindset is strengthened with the high levels of global motivation and international experience. After the conclusion, we suggest future research topics related to the global mindset which have been rarely addressed in the field of the Korean international business academy.

Authors: Usman Safri
Published: May 2021

Pada awalnya pempek berasal dari daerah Palembang dan dibuat dari mencampurkan daging ikan giling lalu dicampur dengan tepung tapioka, sehingga dihasilkan makanan baru dan pada perkembangan selanjutnya disebut dengan PEMPEK.Dahulu ikan yang digunakan adalah ikan belida.Namun, dengan semakin langka dan mahalnya harga ikan belida, ikan tersebut diganti dengan ikan gabus yang harganya lebih murah, tetapi dengan rasa yang tetap gurih.Pada perkembangan selanjutnya, digunakan juga jenis ikan sungai lainnya, misalnya ikan putak, toman, dan bujuk.Dipakai juga jenis ikan laut seperti Tenggiri, Kakap Merah, parang-parang, ekor kuning, dan ikan sebelah.Jenis ikan yang biasa dipakai untuk membuat empek-empek yaitu Ikan Belida, Ikan Gabus, Ikan Tenggiri, Ikan Parang-parang. Namun jika tidak menemukan ikan tersebut, biasanya ada jenis ikan pengganti yang sering dipakai jika ikan-ikan diatas sukar di dapat yaitu Ikan Putak, Ikan Toman, Ikan sarden/layang/tamban, kakap merah, Sepat Siam, dan Bilis besar.
Over-expression of KIAA0101 (PCLAF) in human endometrial cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: May 2021

Gynecologic cancers including cancers of the endometrium are a clinical problem (1-4). We mined published microarray data (5, 6) to discover genes associated with endometrial cancers by comparing transcriptomes of the normal endometrium and endometrial tumors from humans. We identified KIAA0101, also known as the PCNA clamp-associated factor (PCLAF) as among the most differentially expressed genes, transcriptome-wide, in cancers of the endometrium. KIAA0101 was expressed at significantly higher levels in endometrial tumor tissues as compared to the endometrium. Importantly, primary tumor expression of KIAA0101 was correlated with recurrence-free survival in patients with endometrial cancer. KIAA0101 may be a molecule of interest in understanding the etiology or progression of human endometrial cancer.

How immersive virtual reality methods may meet the criteria of the National Academy of Neuropsychology and American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology: A software review of the Virtual Reality Everyday Assessment Lab (VR-EAL)
Authors: Kourtesis Panagiotis , MacPherson Sarah E.
Published: May 2021

Clinical tools involving immersive virtual reality (VR) may bring several advantages to cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology. However, there are some technical and methodological pitfalls. The American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology (AACN) and the National Academy of Neuropsychology (NAN) raised 8 key issues pertaining to Computerized Neuropsychological Assessment Devices. These issues pertain to: (1) the safety and effectivity; (2) the identity of the end-user; (3) the technical hardware and software features; (4) privacy and data security; (5) the psychometric properties; (6) examinee issues; (7) the use of reporting services; and (8) the reliability of the responses and results. The VR Everyday Assessment Lab (VR-EAL) is the first immersive VR neuropsychological battery with enhanced ecological validity for the assessment of everyday cognitive functions by offering a pleasant testing experience without inducing cybersickness. The VR-EAL meets the criteria of the NAN and AACN, addresses the methodological pitfalls, and brings advantages for neuropsychological testing. However, there are still shortcomings of the VR-EAL, which should be addressed. Future iterations should strive to improve the embodiment illusion in VR-EAL and the creation of an open access VR software library should be attempted. The discussed studies demonstrate the utility of VR methods in cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology.
The Home Math Environment and Children's Math Achievement: A Meta-Analysis
Authors: Daucourt Mia Cristina , Napoli Amy , Quinn Jamie M. , Wood Sarah G. , Hart Sara Ann
Published: May 2021

Mathematical thinking is in high demand in the global market, but approximately six percent of school-age children across the globe experience math difficulties (Shalev, et al., 2000). The home math environment (HME), which includes all math-related activities, attitudes, beliefs, expectations, and utterances in the home, may be associated with children’s math development. In order to examine the relation between the HME and children’s math abilities, a preregistered meta-analysis was conducted to estimate the average weighted correlation coefficient (r) between the HME and children’s math achievement and how potential moderators (i.e., assessment, study, and sample features) might contribute to study heterogeneity. A multilevel correlated effects model using 631 effect sizes from 64 quantitative studies comprised of 68 independent samples found a positive, statistically significant average weighted correlation of r = .13 (SE = .02, p < .001). Our combined sensitivity analyses showed that the present findings were robust, and that the sample of studies has evidential value. A number of assessment, study, and sample characteristics contributed to study heterogeneity, showing that no single feature of HME research was driving the large between-study differences found for the association between the HME and children’s math achievement. These findings indicate that children’s environments and interactions related to their learning are supported in the specific context of math learning. Our results also show that the HME represents a setting in which children learn about math through social interactions with their caregivers (Vygotsky, 1978), and what they learn depends on the influence of many levels of environmental input (Bronfenbrenner, 1979) and the specificity of input children receive (Bornstein, 2002). Public Significance Statement: The findings of this meta-analysis suggest that children’s home math environments (e.g., parent-child math interactions) are positively associated with children’s math achievement. To promote children’s math skills, it may be beneficial to support parents in providing positive home math experiences for their children.

The ability to retrieve specific, single-incident autobiographical memories has been consistently posited as a predictor of recurrent depression. Elucidating the role of autobiographical memory specificity in patient-response to depressive treatments may improve treatment efficacy and facilitate use of science-driven interventions. We used recent methodological advances in individual patient data meta-analysis to determine a) whether memory specificity is improved following mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), relative to control interventions, and b) whether pre-treatment memory specificity moderates treatment response. All bar one study evaluated MBCT for relapse prevention. Our initial analysis therefore focussed on MBCT datasets only(n=708), then were repeated including the additional dataset(n=880). Memory specificity increased from baseline to post-treatment. This effect did not differ between MBCT and Control interventions. There was no evidence that baseline memory specificity predicted treatment response in terms of symptom-levels, or risk of relapse. Findings raise important questions regarding the role of memory specificity in depressive treatments.

This study investigates group differences in Militant Extremist Mindset (MEM) measures of Pro-violence, Divine Power, Utopianism, Vile World, and West, together with several variables building its nomological network. The study was based on groups from domicile population living within and outside the conflict zone and a sample of refugees/asylum seekers. We hypothesize that refugees as a group do not present a higher risk for engagement in militant extremism and, consequently, terrorism. Therefore, they do not present security risks for the host countries. Findings show that groups living in a conflict zone tend to endorse all aspects of militant extremism and conservative ideology. Furthermore, our results do not support the widely held belief that refugees are a security threat, as they tend to reject violent extremism as a means to achieve goals.
Modeling public opinion over time: A simulation study of latent trend models
Authors: Kolczynska Marta , Bürkner Paul - Christian
Published: May 2021

With growing availability of multi-wave surveys, social scientists are turning to latent trend models to examine changes in social and political attitudes. Aiming to facilitate this research, we propose a framework for estimating trends in public opinion consisting of three components: the measurement model that links the observed survey responses to the latent attitude, the latent trend model that estimates a trajectory based on aggregated individual latent scores, and representativeness adjustments. We use individual-level item response theory models as the measurement model that is tailored to analyzing public opinion based on pooled data from multi-wave surveys. The main part of our analysis focuses on the second component of our framework, the latent trend models, and compares four approaches: thin-plate splines, Gaussian processes, random walk models and autoregressive models. We examine the ability of these models to recover latent trends with simulated data that vary the shape of the true trend, model complexity, and data availability. Overall, under the conditions of our simulation study, we find that all four latent trend models perform well. We find two main performance differences: the relatively higher squared errors of autoregressive and random walk models, and the under-coverage of posterior intervals in high-frequency low-amplitude trends with thin-plate splines. For all models and across all scenarios, performance improves with increased data availability, which emphasizes the need of supplying sufficient data for accurate estimation of latent trends. To further illustrate the differences between the four latent trend models, we present a case study with an analysis of trends in political trust in Hungary, Poland, and Spain between 1995 and 2019. We note the relatively weaker performance of splines compared to other models in this application, and conclude by discussing factors to consider when choosing the latent trend model, and further opportunities in this line of research.

Published: May 2021

In this article, we examine Canadians’ concerns regarding the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on domestic violence and family stress. Our empirical analysis relies on a unique survey conducted online, the Canadian Perspective Survey Series, which allows us to investigate the determinants of concerns regarding family stress and domestic violence during the first COVID-19 lockdown. We find no evidence that changes in work arrangements are related to concerns regarding family stress and violence in the home. In contrast, we find that the inability to meet financial obligations and concerns about maintaining social ties are significantly related to concerns about family stress and domestic violence.

Objective of the Review: To discuss possible therapies for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) using up-to-date initiation and therapy intensification algorithms with antihyperglycemic drugs. Key Points. DM is still a burning issue all over the world. The recommendations for therapy initiation and intensification for DM2 patients are reviewed annually. This article describes various antihyperglycemic drug regimens. Conclusion. Currently, the guideline is to use sodium-glucose linked transporter-2 inhibitors or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists at early stages of DM2 therapy, irrespective of glycated haemoglobin levels, if the patient has an atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), cardiac failure, chronic renal diseases or factors of ASCVD risk. Keywords: type 2 diabetes mellitus, non-insulin antihyperglycemic therapy, antihyperglycemic drug regimen.

Objective of the Review: To analyse the incidence of polyneuropathy in diabetic patients focusing on autonomic neuropathy. Key Points. Polyneuropathy is one of the most common delayed complications of diabetes mellitus (DM); the condition has numerous clinical aspects. Major polyneuropathy studies focus on assessment, prevention and management of pain caused by sensory and sensory-and-motor defects, prevention of ulceration and Charcot foot. At the same time, various autonomic neuropathy variants in diabetic patients have either been studied not thoroughly enough, or are outside of clinical interest. Still, prevention and pathogenic effect from autonomic neuropathy are similar to those used in other types of diabetic neuropathy. We describe major pathogenic links in nerve fibre damaging and clinical forms of autonomic neuropathy. Major studies of the use of α-lipoic acid in DM are presented. Conclusion. α-lipoic acid medications are efficient in slowing down various forms of autonomic neuropathy. Dose-dependent action of these medications, adequate therapy duration (at least 3 months as a course of medication), improved glycaemic control in patients with DM are essential for autonomic neuropathy prevention and slowing down. Keywords: diabetes mellitus; diabetic polyneuropathy; diabetic autonomic polyneuropathy; α-lipoic acid.

Published: May 2021

Automatic modulation recognition of radar waveform is a major topic and has many military applications. This paper surveys the models and the techniques used in recognizing different modulation types of intercepted radar waveform. The literature shows the outstanding performance of deep learning neural network at low SNR values and in signal[1]overlapped environments as well. Additionally, using different mathematical and statistical algorithms demonstrated that utilized in features extraction of the data in order to feed them into the neural network improves the performance significantly. However, reducing computation complexity is in development too.

Principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least square (PLS) used for fault diagnosis and process monitoring for systems. It is expected that the information to be examined isn't self-connected. However, the most large[1]scale chemical industrial plants are nonlinear in nature so these techniques do not cope with them, invalid in nature. To fulfil the gap, there is need to develop an algorithm which can manage these nonlinearities of the process. The demands of industrial products are increasing rapidly so different adaptable techniques are being proposed. Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) is multivariate data-driven methodology which takes input-output both process data into consideration. Most industrial systems assumed that the data to be analysed is Gaussian in nature.However, it is not due to the non[1]linearity’sreal systems in nature. In this work, an algorithm is developed that can monitor the system process using CCA with control limit that is achieved from the kernel density estimation by estimating probability density function (pdf).

Authors:   SZABIST University, Haroon Shahzad , Rizvi Syed Sajjad Hussain ,   Hamdard University Karachi, Pakistan
Published: May 2021

Over the last three decades, network devices are increasing due to technology like the Internet of Things (IoT) and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). These rapidly increasing devices open many venues for network attacks whereas modern attacks are more sophisticated and complex to detect. To detect these attacks efficiently, we have used recently available dataset UNSW-NB15. UNSW-NB15 is developed according to the modern flow of network traffic with 49 features including 9 types of network attacks. To analyze the traffic pattern for the intrusion detection system(IDS), we have used multiple classifiers to test the accuracy. From the dataset UNSWNB15, we have used medium and strong correlated features. All the results from different classifiers are compared. Prominent results are achieved by ensemble bagged tree which classifies normal and individual attacks with an accuracy of 79%.
Introduction

When the existence of a European Association of Israel Studies (EAIS) was
first publicized a decade ago, many believed that it was merely a front
for advocacy and that the discipline was an invented one. The last ten
years have borne testimony instead to a profound intellectual endeavor
that indicates Israel Studies is an area worthy of academic research. Hundreds
of academics from all over Europe—and beyond—now participate in dynamic discourse on a regular basis. Moreover, there has been tremendous support from Israeli academics. Indeed, there is an interesting overlap between Israel Studies in Europe and European Studies in Israel.
Israel and East-Central Europe
Authors: Dyduch Joanna
Published: May 2021

Israel’s policy toward the region of East-Central Europe (ECE) started changing notably from 2004 onward, in response to the European Union (EU) enlargement process. The following years brought a further development of Israel’s position toward the region and substantial changes in Israel’s European policy. This article aims to track this evolution: not only Israel’s position but also the shape as well as the content of bilateral and multilateral relations between Israel and selected ECE states. For the purpose of this analysis, special attention is paid to Israel’s relations with Poland and Hungary, with primary focus on Israel’s approaches and policy orientations. The article argues that while the ideological changes that occurred almost simultaneously in Poland, Israel, and Hungary at first created favorable conditions for the strengthening of bilateral and multilateral relations between all three countries, they soon became a divisive factor and obstacles to cooperation.

Published: May 2021

The main aim of this study was to see the perceptions of female teachers of secondary schools about the relationship between class size and students learning outcomes. Variable Learning outcome (LO) was selected for comparing teaching in overcrowded classes versus small-sized classrooms. Primary data were collected from the same teachers who had the experience of teaching both overcrowded classes and small-sized classes. For overcrowded classes, it was hypothesized that teachers could very effectively achieve the targeted learning outcomes in small classes, whereas it is quite challenging for the overcrowded class teachers to achieve the targets. Reliability tests were carried out to check the consistency of the answers from respondents. The test Cronbach's alphas yielded acceptable to very good range. Learning outcomes (LOO) 4.04, Learning outcomes (LOS) 4.72. These results were further checked and reinforced through the use of One-sample t-tests. The majority of the same teachers, on the basis of the same statistical tests, have expressed that smallsized classrooms are relatively more appropriate for teaching.
Examining the Psychosocial Barriers of Female Students in Academic Settings of Sindh: The Case of Public Sector University of Sindh, Pakistan
Authors: Siddiqui Ali , Shaikh Tania Shabir
Published: May 2021

The collective responsibilities and rights of female students are ignored in the academic domain of Sindh, Pakistan. The third world countries are a mirror image of it and highlight their declining condition in the educational perspectives of female education. The twelve Psychosocial barriers are highlighted in this study. They are analyzed to know about their extent in female students in one of the Public sector universities of Sindh, Pakistan. The quantitative design was adopted, and a questionnaire was used as the instrument to measure percentages and frequencies. A five-point Likert Scale was selected for the process of data collection measurement from thirty female participants of the English department. The thirty female students represented four academic stages in a co-academic setting. After the analysis of data through SPSS software, the results affirmed that female students do face problems to pursue their higher education in the shape of psychological fears, uncomfortable situations, adoption of different rough attitudes against her existence in academics, dominancy of the male colleague in academic and societal boundaries, cultural and parental disparities in mind sets that ultimately results to the unawareness of societal conservative norms established in educational setting of Universities in Sindh, Pakistan.
