Examining the Roles of Faith-Based Organisations in HIV/AIDS Prevention, Care and Support in Uganda
Authors:   College of Humanities and Social Sciences, Kampala International University, Uganda, Ssetuba Salim
Published: September 2024

This study examines the roles of faith-based organisations in HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and support in Uganda. A descriptive cross-sectional study was undertaken based on quantitative and qualitative research designs. The key informant interviews and focus group discussions were used to collect data. Findings revealed that ACET uses a comprehensive multi-sectoral approach in providing a wide range of HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and support services; by tackling other factors surrounding the individual other than the individual alone. As far as prevention is concerned, the emphasis, of the organization, is on premarital abstinence and marital fidelity, hence targeting the youth and the married. Information on condom use and partnerships with organizations that provide condoms are ways in which ACET helps those in need of them. Based on these observations, the study calls for ACET to organize and educate all the community leaders on the services rendered by the organization so that they can know about the services provided by them. This will help all victims and non-victims of HIV/AIDS to take advantage of such services. This should be done by local/ community leaders, elders, and religious leaders. Mass sensitization strategies need to be improved to increase the levels of awareness of the availability and relevance of faith-based organizations. To achieve this, there is a need to use radios and community sensitization meetings. Keywords: ACET, Care and support, Community leaders, FBOs, HIV/AIDs

Measuring vertical tyre stiffness of bicycle tyres
Authors: Rothhämel Malte
Published: September 2024

This contribution presents an analysis of the vertical tyre stiffness of 20” bicycle tyres as usually mounted on bicycle carriers for the transport of children. The current research contributes to the science on bicycle comfort with the focus on the next generation
cyclists. Two different methods to measure vertical or radial tyre stiffness of bicycle tyres are presented – a dynamic approach on a dynamic press and a static approach. Parameters modified are tyre inflation pressure and vertical load in the static experiment. In the dynamic experiment additionally dynamic load and frequency are varied. The dynamic experiments are performed on two different tyres. The same tyres are also used for the static experiments and completed with a third tyre, which is a clincher version of the narrow foldable tyre. The tyres are made for 406mm rim diameter as usually for bicycle carriers since the comfort of children in bicycle transportation is the larger scope behind the experiments.
The main findings are as follows:
• The stiffness of the tyres is in a range of 31 N / mm to 147 N / mm. It must be considered that values below 50 N /mm are related to
extremely low inflation pressure that probably do not work reliably because the rim will puncture the tube.
• Tyre inflation pressure is the main factor that controls the vertical stiffness.
• Type of tyre (balloon vs. narrow tyre) hardly affects the stiffness.
• The dynamic stiffness at 1 Hz is slightly higher than the static stiffness.
• With increasing excitation frequency the stiffness increases, however, this effect is non-linear and varies between 3.7% at high
pressure in the narrow tyre and up to 20% at low pressure in the balloon tyre.
• Similarly, there is a trend to higher stiffness with increasing vertical load in a magnitude of 20% increase.

The Impact Of Job Characteristics On Employee Turnover Intention Through Psychological Contract In The Pharmaceutical Industry Of Pakistan
Authors: Sami Abdul Ahad , Iqbal Dr Asif
Published: September 2024

Introduction: The purpose of this research work is to examine the effect of job characteristics on intended turnover in the pharmaceutical industry of Pakistan with the ‘Psychological contract’ as a mediator amidst specialized knowledge that is pertinent to the sector’s growth. The characteristics included in this paper are autonomy, task identity, and skill variety, whereby studies were done to determine the effects of these characteristics on employee turnover intentions. Thus, the psychological contract acts as a pivotal link to breach, thereby increasing dissatisfaction and emergence of turnover.
 Objective: The study aims at establishing correlation between job content and turnover intention, Leader Member Exchange (LMX) as the moderator and psychological contract as mediator. Therefore, this research aims at filling this knowledge gap in relation to strategies of employee retention within the pharmaceutical industry of Pakistan and the way through which workforce stability could be boosted.
 Methods: The quantitative method was adopted, and based on the PLS-SEM technique to assess the hypothesis regarding the interaction[1] of job characteristics, psychological contract, LMX and turnover intention. The data were collected form 328 full time employees of pharmaceutical industries established in Pakistan. Recording of overall fit indices also supported these results.
Results: The results show that among the job characteristics, autonomy was statistically significant and positive with β = 0. 058 and p < 0. 05 with corresponding tests showing significance for the-job skill variety (β = 0. 184, p < 0. 01) and feedback (β = 0. 166 p < 0. 01) to positively influence the psychological contract, thus translating to reduced turnover intention. LMX mitigates this relationship with high-quality LMX being particularly beneficial in enhancing the effect of the psychological contract on retention; (β = 0. 329, t < 0. 001).
Conclusion: Consequently, the study shown that job characteristics should be encouraged and leader member relations should be promoted in order to minimize turnover intention in the context of Pakistan’s pharmaceutical industry. These findings are relevant to the organizational leaders who wish to enhance the retention rates of their employees and increase productivity through the effective job design and leadership practices. This is an important step in the validation of the model and has implications for the discussion on workforce stability within growing high demand sectors for application across the industries.

A memória se tornou objeto de estudo em diferentes campos do saber, impulsionado pelos cenários de excesso e exceção que marcaram o século XX. A narrativa construída sobre os eventos passados é um território de constante disputa, na medida em que exerce um poder sobre o que será ou não inscrito na memória individual e coletiva, o que deixará rastro. Esse trabalho visa refletir sobre como os tempos da história – passado, presente, futuro – se articulam e podem promover mudanças tanto na direção do que já se passou, quando na direção do que está por vir. Nesse sentido, o testemunho se apresenta como ferramenta fundamental para permitir que os sujeitos recuperem a palavra, possam elaborar seus traumas, assim como transmitir e produzir marcas de memória. Utilizo o filme Argentina, 1985 para pensar sobre as diferenças entre uma política de memória e justiça, em contraponto à política de esquecimento e impunidade imposta pela autoanistia, no cenário brasileiro.

What Should be the Anatomical Target in Deep Brain Stimulatıon in an Essential Tremor Plus Rest Tremor Case? Technical Case Report of Deep Brain Stimulation
Authors: Büyükkoyuncu Pekel Nilüfer , Yıldız Demet
Published: September 2024

While Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of Subthalamic Nucleus (STN) is effective on resting tremors, but its effectiveness on postural and kinetic tremors is limited. DBS of the Ventral Intermediate Nucleus (VIM) is effective on many types of tremors, especially postural and kinetic tremors, but its effect is weak on motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Although there is a consensus in the literature about where the anatomical target should be in essential tremor (ET) and PD, there are only case reports about where the anatomical target should be in Essential Tremor Plus Rest Tremor (ET+RT) cases.In this article, we aimed to reveal the effectiveness of STN DBS in a case-diagnosed with ET+RT. The patient had action tremors in both upper extremities for 21 years and developed rest tremors in both upper and lower extremities for the last six years. Rest tremor was effectively controlled with bilateral STN DBS. Postural tremor in the right upper extremity was continued, although it decreased.STN may be an appropriate choice when choosing an anatomical target in DBS in cases of resting, postural, and kinetic tremor.

Published: September 2024

Motherhood involves dramatic physical and emotional changes, and in today's context, women often balance corporate roles with traditional responsibilities. Returning to work post-maternity leave is especially challenging, requiring women to juggle work and family while adapting to motherhood. Despite this, factors contributing to emotional distress among working mothers in South Asia have received limited academic attention. This qualitative study interviewed eight first-time manager-mothers in Sri Lankan private sector businesses, via semi-structured interviews, using snowball sampling. Thematic analysis identified key stressors: lack of emotional and physical family support, well-intentioned but counterproductive familial assistance, unsupportive work environments, and societal backlash. A significant finding was that extended family support for childcare often led to emotional distress, with family members making mothers feel guilty and embarrassed. This study fills a gap in the literature by focusing on Sri Lanka and emphasizes the need to educate extended families on the childcare expectations of working mothers.

Published: September 2024

Archers engage in various exercises to maintain postural stability and balance to achieve peak performance in archery, as balance and fine motor control are critical components of success in this sport. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the effect of a period of TRX and yoga versus traditional exercises on the balance of archers. This study is quasi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design. The present research is applied in nature and was conducted in the field. The statistical population included all male archers in Tehran Province aged 20 to 40 years. From this population, 30 individuals were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria through convenience sampling and then randomly assigned to three groups: traditional exercises, yoga, and TRX. In the pre-test, the balance in shooting was measured. After completing the measurements, each group received their respective exercises, and at the end of the last training session, the post-test including the measured variables was repeated. To examine the research hypotheses, initially, the normality of the data was checked using the Shapiro-Wilk test, which revealed that the data were not normally distributed. Therefore, non-parametric statistical tests were used for data analysis. The results of the Wilcoxon test indicated that all three types of traditional exercises, yoga, and TRX led to a significant improvement in balance, hand-arm stability, and performance of the archers. In the intergroup comparison using the Kruskal-Wallis test, it was found that there were significant differences among the three groups in the research variables. Pairwise comparisons using the Mann-Whitney U test revealed that TRX, yoga, and traditional exercises, respectively, had the most significant effects. Based on the obtained results, it is suggested that the training programs used in the present research, with priority given to TRX, yoga, and traditional exercises, be recommended for improving the balance of male archers.

Identifying factors that impact patient experience is crucial for implementing strategies that support patient engagement and ultimately achieve better health outcomes. This study aimed to present a model for empowering hospitalized patients. This study is a quantitative-qualitative cross-sectional study conducted using stratified sampling with appropriate allocation in public hospitals affiliated with Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd. The study involved 230 participants, including hospital directors, managers, matrons, supervisors, clinical and paraclinical unit heads, staff units, nurses, and physicians. Data were collected using demographic information tools and a researcher-made questionnaire designed to create a model for empowering hospitalized patients. The model's capability was determined by fitting the data using confirmatory factor analysis. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 16 and Amos version 24 software. The questionnaire designed for the patient empowerment model in hospitals comprised 8 domains and 61 items or components. In this study, the chi-square ratio to degrees of freedom was significant (p < 0.0001), indicating a good fit for the model. The Goodness of Fit Index (GFI) was estimated at 0.93, showing that the model fit was appropriate. The values of GFI and the Adjusted Goodness of Fit Index (AGFI) for the hospitalized patient empowerment model were above 0.8. Organizations and educational healthcare centers can use this model to empower patients. The necessary groundwork for enhancing patient empowerment should be provided by medical universities and affiliated hospitals.

Ecoprint is one of the activities of making batik through the process of transferring color and shape to fabric through direct contact. Ecoprint training was chosen because it was based on the discovery that there were many natural resources that had not been utilized, which was one of the reasons for conducting ecoprint training. In supporting the village's creative economy by utilizing natural resources, ecoprint is one solution that can be implemented. Apart from being able to provide ecoprint training experience, it can be used as an example of a business that supports the village economy. This training uses material delivery and discussion methods, a participatory approach and local potential.  The results of this training were to increase the experience and skills of the PKK mothers of Beringin Makmur village regarding ecoprinting. PKK mothers can find out how to make Ecoprint and can apply it at home. Another hope is that mothers can still produce work even though they are stuck at home. Apart from that, the participation method applied not only adds to the learning experience, but also builds a social environment that supports business development. Thus, this activity contributes to community economic empowerment and environmental preservation through creativity and innovation in the use of natural materials found around.

Micro mechanics involves the examination of the mechanical behavior of heterogeneous materials, taking into account inhomogeneities such as voids, fractures, and inclusions, and building on mathematical models developed. Composites bring engineering design barriers despite their strengths. Composite manufacturing and processing need specialized equipment, strategies, and labor, ensuring they are challenging and expensive. Mechanical behavior deals with how a composite material performs if faced with mechanical effects and action. Scalable sensor-assisted multi-scale computational Methods (SS-MSCM) are used to investigate topics ranging from the molecular basis of soot production in combustion to how molecule-level flaws influence macroscopic mechanical qualities. Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) are generated by mixing graphene fiber with a resin, like vinyl ester and epoxy, to render a composite material with superior performance to the component ingredients. Hence, SS-MSCM-CFRP has Improved mechanical qualities achieved by incorporating nano-reinforcements, including carbon nanofibers and graphene nanoplates, into the CFRP matrix: enhanced flexural and compressive strengths, energy absorption upon impact, toughness to fracture, and interlaminar bonding. Composite materials feature excellent mechanical qualities like high strength and stiffness, fatigue resistance, and durability. It is possible to insert scalable sensors throughout the manufacturing process, which enables real-time monitoring of structural health, strain, and other factors. Scalable sensor-assisted multi-scale computational methods offer enhanced accuracy, real-time monitoring, and cost-effectiveness by integrating sensor data with computational models, improving predictions and failure mechanism insights. However, they face limitations like sensor dependency, computational complexity, data integration challenges, and high implementation costs, leading to potential discrepancies between simulation and experimental results. Important qualities include corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, and electrical conductivity. As the composite materials develop to satisfy the established mechanical stress and temperature conditions, they offer high durability and strength.
