Published: October 2022

Presence of different risk groups in non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS), indicate the need for new tools to perform early diagnosis and prognostic stratification in order to indicate the appropriate startegy. In this sense, it has been shown that the corrected QT interval prolongation is an independent risk marker in NSTE-ACS with or without acute ischemic changes. However, there is scarce information about its relationship with other variables of known prognostic value, such as cardiac troponins.

Published: October 2022

Academic libraries support teaching, learning and research functions of their institutions. Such libraries are found in universities and middle-level colleges including Kenya Medical Training Colleges (KMTC). Public libraries like Kenya National Library Services (KNLS) also support such functions in addition to their core functions like Preservation and conservation of national imprint, enhancement of reading and information seeking habits of the public. This study aimed at comparing strategies used for marketing library services in KMTC and KNLS for information utilization. A descriptive survey research study design was conducted at KMTC and KNLS in Kakamega County.Study participants were recruited using stratified sampling technique. 563 out of a population of 1738 from KMTC and KNLS was sampled using Krecie and Morgan’s sample size determination. A pre-tested questionnaire and interview were used for data collection. Comparison of the marketing strategies; Exhibitions and displays, User Periodic Orientation, Suggestion Box, Library extension services, Through Friends and Tutors were significantly different between KMTC and KNLS P <0.001. Majority of those who accepted that the strategies above were used were from KNLS. However, majority of the participants disagreed about the use of library extension services. The User Periodic Orientation (OR,2.00;95% CI, 1.34, 2.98; p< .001), Suggestion Box (OR, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.24, 0.51; p< .001), Library extension services (OR, 3.05; 95% CI, 1.95, 4.78; p< .001), Through Friends (OR, 9.00; 95% CI, 10.04, 35.95; p< .001), Through tutors (OR, 7.00; 95% CI, 4.43, 12.25; p< .001) were associated with better marketing strategy. Conclusively, librarians in both libraries were knowledgeable in marketing library services. However, the study established that KMTC librarians needed to be proactive in marketing in order serve clients appropriately. The study recommended that managers of the two libraries review their policies to make marketing a mandatory exercise and train librarians in marketing for satisfactory service delivery

Productivity and Wellness Can be scored on a Scale Based on Biases and Relevance
Authors: Shrivastava Nitish , Tiwari Neel , Thangavel Elaiyaraja
Published: October 2022

The research conducted in this article was used to prove that it’s possible to score productivity and wellness on a scale based on biases and relevance to individual subjects. Previous research conducted to prove that workplace stress can affect productivity and wellness was used to establish profiles under which working professionals could be assessed for success/failure criteria based on profile-specific activities and their outcomes. In this research article, we show that by assessing specific activities based on formulae derived from success/failure criteria for such activities, it is possible to identify an associated score ranging from 1 to 10, 1 being the worst outcome possible, and 10 being the most successful. It is further shown that scores can be tailored to individuals, groups, and organizations under profiles by using a numeric system that captures bias and relevance of a particular activity to the assessed subject, thereby increasing its utility and applicability as a measure of productivity and wellness.

Advanced Digital Image Processing Technique based Optical Character Recognition of Scanned Document
Authors: S. Iwin Thanakumar Joseph
Published: October 2022

For many years, the field of image processing and pattern approval has included handwriting approval among its most intriguing and rigid analytical fields. In this article, the steps necessary to convert text from a paper document to a computer-readable format has been discussed. This is the most tedious and labor-intensive task. For nearly three decades, scientists have been trying to figure out how to make a computer read like a human. In Optical Character Recognition (OCR), a scanned picture is converted mechanically or electronically into an image that may be read as handwritten, typed, or printed text. It's a way to turn paper documents into digital files that can be searched and utilised in automated procedures. To facilitate applications like machine translation, text-to-speech, and text mining, OCR encodes the pictures as machine-readable text. It's an easy and inexpensive approach to make OCR that can read any document in a standard font size and with standard handwriting.
use of research by public relations practitioners
Authors: Anani-Bossman Albert , Tella Fortune
Published: October 2022

The importance of research by public relations practitioners has been highlighted by leading scholarsin most developed countries. However, studies show that the use of research by practitionersis more talked about than actually done. In Ghana, little is known about how practitioners useresearch. This paper therefore attempts to add to the limited literature by investigating whetherpublic relations (PR) practice in Ghana is informed by research. Data was collected from 93 PRpractitioners using a survey. The results suggest that although research is used by practitioners,the emphasis appears to be on media monitoring and content analysis. The implication is thatresearch cannot be fully appreciated if it is based solely on the amount of publicity received.The value of PR in the eyes of management can only be enhanced if emphasis is placed on theimpact and outcome of research. Practitioners must therefore use a more scientific approach intheir research activities.
Images of a nation in crisis

Published: October 2022

Political cartoonists have, in recent years, faced victimisation for daring to speak truth to power.In December 2010, South African cartoonist, Jonathan Shapiro (Zapiro) was sued for portrayingformer President Zuma as a rapist. In February 2018, his contract of over ten years with TheSunday Times was abruptly terminated. These developments show that cartoons can be effectivetools of undermining and resisting power. This article critically analyses Zapiro’s Rape of LadyJustice cartoons in the context of South African politics under Zuma’s presidency. The ANC-ledgovernment under Jacob Zuma was perceived as corrupt and gravitating away from the ideals ofa democratic state. Underpinned by Bal et al.’s (2009) model of caricature, this article seeks toexamine, firstly, how the cartoon, as a medium of expression, pokes fun at its object of caricature,and secondly, how the broader socio-political context of Zuma’s presidency inspired Zapiro’sLady Justice cartoons.
Industry perspectives on digital out-of-home advertising in South Africa
Authors: Roux Thérèse
Published: October 2022

Digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising, the so-called “new kid on the block”, is not exactly a child any more. DOOH advertising has become one of the most promising marketing communication platforms. Remarkable growth rates are projected in both developed and emerging markets. Studies on DOOH advertising are generally limited to a few leading authors from developedmarkets. However, practitioners’ perceptions and practices remain unknown. Understanding professionals’ views of DOOH advertising is important for anyone considering this promising marketing communication platform. Using qualitative interviews with 18 practitioners, this study discovered six themes concerning DOOH advertising in South Africa: its development, barriers, the share of DOOH advertising in various environments, the quality and quantity of exposure, and point-of-transit, point-of-purchase and point-of-wait DOOH advertising. The findings were used to highlight some focus areas for practitioners to develop and overcome obstacles in the South African DOOH advertising landscape. This study is the first of its kind on DOOH advertising and helps to fill a gap in the existing literature on out-of-home advertising and advertising practitioners’ research in an emerging market.
THE SOCIOCULTURAL ASPECT OF FORMING ENGLISH COMMUNICATIVE SKILLS OF THE TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Authors: Крячко Л.Н.
Published: October 2022

Постановка задачи. Реализация принципа коммуникативной направленности в процессе обучения иностранному языку студентов неязыковых вузов связана с подготовкой обучающихся к иноязычному общению в различных сферах общественной жизни, что предполагает развитие их коммуникативных умений в ситуациях, имитирующих реальные. Результаты. Проведенное исследование показывает, что в процессе тренировки англоязычных речевых умений обучающихся на занятиях по иностранному языку последние испытывают трудности, связанные с недостатком социокультурных знаний о менталитете носителей языка, их психологических особенностях, национально-культурных сценариях их речевого поведения. Кроме того, некоторые коммуникативные ситуации, являющиеся достаточно распространенными в реальной жизни, не находят широкого отражения в учебной литературе. Выводы. Совершенствование социокультурной компетенции обучающихся, формирование у них целостного представления о коммуникативной культуре носителей языка, об отличиях англоязычных моделей речевого поведения от тех, что распространены в их родных языке и культуре, позволят студентам уверенно выбирать корректную для каждой конкретной ситуации общения коммуникативную стратегию, спонтанно реагировать на реплики собеседника в процессе коммуникации, активно использовать адекватные ситуации этикетные формулы.

Statement of the problem. The implementation of the principle of the communicative orientation in the process of teaching the students of non-linguistic universities a foreign language is associated with the preparation of them for foreign language communication in various spheres of public life, which involves the development of their communicative skills in the situations that imitate the real ones. Results. The research carried out shows that in the process of training the students’ English speech skills at the lessons of English they experience the difficulties associated with a lack of the sociocultural knowledge about the mentality of language speakers, their psychological characteristics, and the national and cultural scenarios of their speech behavior. In addition, some communicative situations, which are quite common in real life, are not widely reflected in educational literature. Conclusion. Improving the students’ sociocultural competency, forming their comrehensive view of the language speakers’ communicative culture, the differences between the English models of speech behavior and those that are common in their native language and culture, will allow the students to confidently choose the communication strategy which is correct for the certain specific speech situation, to spontaneously respond to the interlocutor's remarks in the process of communication, to actively use the etiquette formulas that are adequate to the speech situation.

Published: October 2022

Indian fiction in English has been enhanced by a few proficient women writers, including Kamala Markandaya, Anita Desai, Nayanatara Sahyagal, Attain Hosain, Santharamarau, Shashi Deshpande, and Shobha De. They encompass a women's point of view on society. They have illustrated Indian women, their battle, their misery, and their awkward position, keeping in view their picture and job, which the general public has made. Their central devotion comprises investigating the ethical quality of women characters and their battle with difficulties in making their personalities. Since the start of civilization, that has been a great effort to emancipate women from male oppression. In the past, the work of women authors has consistently been underestimated because of some patriarchal assumptions. Feminism is an expression of unjust treatment meted out to any woman. This research paper has thrown light on the realistic characters of the novelists Jaya and Karuna from That Long Silence and Socialite Evenings, respectively. It has shown the broad light on how they self-articulated themselves after a decade of silence.

Published: October 2022

This paper tries to understand the role of assessment in bringing changes in students’ mathematics performance. Quality assessment is a key factor in improving the learning of mathematics. The relationship between learning and assessment is strong and robust. Students learn more in classes where assessment is an integral part of instruction than in those that are not, and brief frequent assessments that provide immediate feedback about learning progress that are more effective than one summative test. Therefore, mathematics teachers should be aware of the roles of assessment, different methods of assessing learners, and the effective assessment practices.

Background: Falls are one of the emerging public health issues and a barrier for active aging. There is a scarcity of studieson incidence of falls among elderly population which provide information on real burden from rural part of India. Hence,the study was undertaken to find out the incidence of falls and determinants among elderly population.Materials and Methods: A prospective cohort study was carried out by involving 260 elderlies in a primary health centrearea of Bengaluru by using simple random sampling technique over a period of one year. Data was collected regarding,socio-personal characteristics, substance use, co-morbidities and self-perceived health status using interview method andassessment of housing conditions was also undertaken. House visit was conducted to explain the purpose of the studyand to distribute falls dairy. Telephonic interview was undertaken to collect history of falls and related information oncein three months and at the end of one-year elderly were revisited to confirm the falls. All the data was analysed using Epiinfo 7.2.2.1.Results: The incidence of falls among elderly was 48.2%. The socio-personal characteristics such as age group ≥70 years(p<0.001), low/medium standard of living index (SLI) (p=0.03), poor/average self-perceived health status (p=0.001),provision of separate living room (p=0.0006) and location of bathroom and toilet outside the house (p=0.04) wereassociated with falls.Conclusion: The incidence of falls among elderly was more compared to previous studies and associated with advancedage, poor income, poor self-perceived health status, living alone in separate room and location of bathroom and toiletoutside the house.

Published: October 2022

Background and Aim: The RBC histogram visualizes particle size distribution that plays a critical role in the initialscreening and detection method for haematological disorders in current clinical settings. This present study was designedto determine the relationship between Abbott cell dyn ruby- 5 part analyzer automated haematology analyzer histogramsand peripheral smear using the blood samples.Material and Methods: A total of 500 samples sent for CBC and PS would be used for the present study for the duration of5 months. The CBC samples received would be analyzed in the ABOTT cell dyn ruby instrument, and a peripheral smearwould be made from the same sample, using Leishman stain.Results: Among all, 16% histograms were normal,31% had a left-shifted curve,40% showed broad-based curve, 03%showed short peak, and Bimodal peaked histogram was demonstrated by 06% of total cases. In the present study, cases ofdimorphic anemia showed a normal range of MCV, MCH and MCHC. At the same time, RDW is increased due to the highdegree of anisocytosis and poikilocytosis, which was observed in the PBS. Cases of Macrocytic anemia show an increasein MCV, MCH and RDW with normal MCHC.Conclusion: Histogram plays an additional role with peripheral smear for diagnosing RBCs disorders. Haematologyanalyzers were very useful and reliable for evaluation of abnormal peripheral smears. Histogram was correlated withalmost all peripherial smear interpretation in anemia cases.

As the mean age of the population is increasing and the current therapeutic concerns is for teeth to be retained. It isnow quite common to encounter complex clinical situations like severe tooth-tissue loss, advanced periodontal diseasealong with significant esthetic concerns. Dentists now a days, not just restore teeth to make them better for functioning,but also cater an increased esthetic concern of the patients.Thus, many a times, patients who present with a complexrestoration also require an esthetic rehabilitation. Although periodontal factors do not usually have a direct effect onthe survival of fixed prosthesis however a harmony between prosthesis and periodontium remains critical, affecting thelongevity, esthetics and to prevent unsatisfactory treatment outcomes. The present article addresses and summarizes thecurrent knowledge of Prosthetic and Periodontic clinical procedures that play a role in any clinician’s attempt to createbiologically acceptable and aesthetically pleasing long-lasting restorations.
