Published: November 2020

Teaching is being considered as one of the noblest profession since ancient times. With the changing socio-economic scenario and increasing unemployment, the values of teachers’ and their professional concern with the job have forcibly undergone a drastic change which adversely affects their mental health. The level of mental health of a teacher has been found affected with numerous personal as well as professional demands. Health of teachers, on social, physical and mental health domains adds to the efficiency not only to their professional growth and development but also to their personality. Moreover, they have also been considered as the constructors of the future of a country. Keeping these facts into the consideration, present study aimed to access the level of personal mental health of school teachers, particularly those who work in the public sector schools. Survey method has been employed and Mental Health Index (MHI) was used for collecting the data. 100 secondary and higher secondary school teachers were included in the study. The data was analyzed using descriptive analysis and to find the differences for gender and locations t- test was applied. The t-values reveals that significant gender differences exist among government school teachers and male school teachers were found better on mental health than their female counterparts. Additionally, teachers posted at schools located under urban area were found higher on mental health as compared to teaches posted at schools located under rural areas.

A Study of Interest Areas of High School Students in Relation to Some Socio-Psycho Variables
Authors: Prof. Veenaben Patel  , Dr. H.B. Patel  , Ms. Hema. G
Published: November 2020

The best way of selecting one’s career is to select according to his/her own interest areas. This right choice of career can be done only by giving awareness of the interested areas. If the student is aware of the interest areas of his/her own, the selection of career can be made effective and useful to achieve the desired goal of life. It also provides a platform for further progress in his/her life. Consequently, such selection will save time, money and energy of the students. This type of study will also benefit to the parents also. The awareness of the parents on their children’s area of interest can enable them to guide their children in the selection of their career. Instead of forcing the students to take their higher studies, knowledge about their children’s career will in advance help in the selection of career. The pursuit of higher education has been promoted by parents and the government, at least in part in response to the expectation that India is transforming from a resource-based to a knowledge-based economy, in which most future occupations will require some kind of postsecondary credential. As a central construct of career development, career exploration involves activities that attempt to relate knowledge of oneself to the external world and the internal world structures) and can be described as an openness to experience that fosters self discovery and prompts reflection about environmental action.
Decision Making: A Core Problem of Social Cognition

Published: November 2020

Successful decision making involves our ability to understand the intensions, emotions and beliefs of other people. An important feature of decision making in a social setting concern the interaction of areas and Social cognition is an integral part of social psychology, which deals with the psychological mechanisms that mediate the individual’s responses to the social environment. Notable to social cognitive theories are the ideas which are applied and extended to many concepts, theories, models and paradigms from cognitive psychology in social context. This approach leads to remarkable progress in understanding of social scenario, people’s decisions and also offers insights into social issues. It helps to understand reactions of people in social context. Decision making is just one of the many areas in which social cognition has an important role. Decision making is a complex cognitive skill. Social cognition attempts to explain the broad social aspects of human experience, such as how decision making are influenced by the presence of others as well as the social situations in which they find themselves. This article presents a fundamental idea of social cognitive perspective of decision making process and factors that influence our decisions.
Contextual Antagonistic Pleiotropy of Cognitive Adaptations: A Hypothesis for Evolutionarily Counterintuitive Behaviors
Authors: Rohan Pillai
Published: November 2020

An antagonistic pleiotropy in evolutionary biology is said to occur when one gene can express itself in more than one way, and where at least one of the expression is helpful and at least one another expression of the same gene is harmful to the organism. Contextual antagonistic pleiotropy of cognitive adaptations hypothesis proposes that a similar situation exists for cognitive adaptation in terms of the contexts in which the cognitive adaptation are utilized. Proposing that the behavioral output of a cognitive adaptation in at least one context is beneficial and the behavioral output of the same cognitive adaptation in another context is detrimental to the organism’s fitness. This leads to the expression of evolutionarily counterintuitive behaviors. Accepting suicide to be an evolutionarily counterintuitive behavior the researcher in this paper has theoretically examined suicide by means of the contextual antagonistic pleiotropy of cognitive adaptations hypothesis.
Triguna and Anger in Adolescent
Authors: Dr. Soni Kewalramani
Published: November 2020

One of the ways to study personality in Indian psychology through concept of Triguna. When three gunas are balanced the personality is balanced but if there is disturbance in any of the three gunas their personality gets disturbed. Triguna talks about three gunas Sattva (Purity knowledge,), Rajas (Anger, Action) Tamas (Laziness, apathy). The emotions we experience are closely related to the dominant guna in us. And therefore, another concept studied is that of anger. State anger is a subjective emotion accompanied by muscle tension and stimulation of the autonomous nervous system; its intensity may deviate from quite mild to quite strong. However, Trait anger is perceived in far more situations as displeasing and frustrating, and accordingly it is described as a tendency to have rather frequent state anger. The main purpose of the present research is to see the relationship between Sattva, Rajas, Tamas and State and Trait anger, gender difference on Sattva rajas Tamas and State and Trait anger are also studied. Sample size of 100 was taken. Incidental sampling techniques was used. It is an exploratory research. Results showed that there was a positive relationship between Triguna and Anger –Sattva guna and State and Trait anger, Rajas guna and State and Trait anger, Tamas guna and State an Trait anger. Gender on basis of guna and anger result reveals that there was no significance difference between boys and girls on the basis of guna and anger.

Published: November 2020

The destiny of India is being shaped in her classroom” has been pointed out by the education Commission (1964-66), and to that point it may be safely added that the destiny of these classrooms is being shaped by the teachers. Teacher is a flywheel of the whole educational machine. Modern school plans the best equipments, the newest of the new media and the most progressive methods; they will remain dead fossils unless there is the right use of teacher’s breath, life and spirit into them. Hence, the teacher occupies a pivotal position in all schemes of educational reconstruction.

Published: November 2020

The purpose of the current study was (i) to find out the association between Perceived Social Support (PSS) and Psychological Well-Being (PWB) among young working adults and (ii) to study Gender differences in this relationship. 286 individuals volunteered to participate in the study within age range between 21 to 28 years. The sample consisted of 173 males and 113 females who were currently employed. PSS was measured using Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support and PWB by Ryff’s Scale of Psychological Well-Being. The data was analysed using independent samples ‘t’ test, Pearson Product Moment Correlation analysis and Regression analysis. The results indicated that PSS has a significant positive correlation with PWB indicating that the higher the level of PSS, the higher the level of PWB. Further, significant gender differences were found in PSS, with women reporting receiving more social support than men and women were also high in support from two of the three types of sources: family and friends. In addition, both men and women reported availability of higher social support from family as compared to what they can obtain from friends and significant other. No significant gender differences were found in PWB. Regression analysis indicated that PSS could significantly contribute to the prediction of PWB accounting for about twelve percent variance in it. Besides, PSS explained relatively higher variance in PWB among men as compared to women. Positive relations and self acceptance dimensions of PWB were better influenced by PSS in both men and women.

Published: November 2020

School plays a vital role in biopsychosocial development among students. One of the common debates of modern educational system is whether mixed sex education or single-sex education is beneficial for the bio psychosocial development of adolescents. However previous research findings have not provided sufficient evidence to resolve the controversies, this study aimed at clarifying the question of ‘which nature of schooling is effective for multi-dimensional self concept?’ To resolve the controversy, self concept of boys and girls of four mixed sex schools and four single sex education schools was assessed with the help of Multidimensional self-concept scale (MSCS)(Bruce and Bracken, 1992) . Data were statistically analyzed with help of t test. As per result, competence and academic dimensions of self were found to be higher in students from single sex schooling but social dimension of self was elevated in students from mixed sex schooling for both sexes. Girls were found to have scored significantly higher than boys on social dimension of self for both types of schooling.
How well do Humans Capture the Sounds of Speech in Writing?
Authors: Turoman Nora , Styles Suzy J.
Published: November 2020

A large body of research on connections between sensory modalities has shown that deep connections exist between sound and vision, such that people have a tendency to associate certain sounds with certain visual properties, including line-drawn shapes. While recognising the role of written language in audio-visual associations, previous research has largely considered written language a potential source of bias rather than a means of gaining deeper in sights into underlying audio-visual associations. We looked to ancient and unfamiliar writing systems spanning recorded human history, to explore whether humans have tried to encode certain characteristics of speech sounds in the letters they created to represent them. Our findings have revealed that modern humans can correctly identify unfamiliar letters at levels higher than would be obtained by chance, and that scripts which encode a particular sound with a particular set of visual characteristics tend to have more correct guesses. This suggests that humans share certain correspondences between sound and sight, which transcend both geographical space and historical time. The present multisensory demonstration aims to provide an interactive experience of the powerful connection between sounds and written letters through a series of activities integrating vision, audition, touch and imagination.

Authors: Tamura Shumpei , Kuhara Yasuo
Published: November 2020

We developed an interactive artwork generating images and sounds using the traditional Japanese interior fixture known as Shoji. We used spandex fiber, which is a polyurethane fiber having remarkable elasticity, as a Shoji screen. When we push and expand the elastic fiber using our hand, it generates images and sounds according to the degree of its expansion and contraction. The images are projected onto the area of the Shoji as a screen touched by a performer. We can enjoy the interaction of the elastic feeling synchronized with the images and sounds by touching the Shoji screen.
Are Losartan and Imatinib Effective Against SARS-CoV2 Pathogenesis? a Pathophysiologic-Based in Silico Study
Authors: Nejat Reza , Sadr Ahmad Shahir
Published: November 2020

COVID19 has spread all over the globe with ARDS as the most grave complicating factor in its mortality and morbidity. As there is not an effective anti-viral drug or an imminent vaccine against this virus we proposed a novel insight about cytokine storm-indiced ARDS in this disease and conducted an in silico study according to the pathophysiology of cytokine storm. We found that losartan and imatinib may break the life cycle of the virus to the degree that its affinity to ACE2 may decline, the function of papin-like protease disrupts, and the cytokine storm may subside, as well. This means that the death toll of the disease may decline sharply till a vaccine is produced in the near future. All the results should be validated in subclinical studies.
Harnessing Photoelectrochemistry for Wastewater Nitrate Treatment Coupled with Resource Recovery
Authors: Barrera Luisa , Bala Chandran Rohini
Published: November 2020

Wastewater is a misplaced resource well suited to recover nutrients, value-added chemicals, energy, and clean water. A photoelectrochemical device is proposed to transform wastewater nitrates to ammonia and nitrous oxide, coupled with water oxidation. Numerical models were developed to quantify the dependence of process efficiencies and nitrogen-removal rates on light absorber band gaps, electrocatalytic kinetic parameters, competing oxygen reduction and hydrogen evolution reactions, and the reacting nitrate species concentrations that affect the mass-transfer limited current densities. With a single light-absorber and state-of-the-art catalysts, optimal solar-to-chemical efficiencies of 7% and 10% and nitrogen-removal rates of 260 and 395 gN m-2 day-1 are predicted for nitrate reduction to ammonia and nitrous oxide respectively. The influence of competing reactions on the performance depends on the nitrate concentration and band gap of the light absorber modeled. Oxygen reduction is more dominant than hydrogen evolution to compete with the nitrate reduction reaction, but is mass-transfer limited. Even with kinetic parameters that enhanced the driving forces for the competing reactions, the performance is only minimally affected by these reactions for optimally selected band gaps and nitrate concentrations larger than 100 mM. Theoretically predicted peak nitrogen removal rates and specific energy intensities are competitive with reported estimates for bioelectrochemical and Sharon-Anammox processes for ammonia recovery and nitrogen removal respectively. This result, together with the added benefit of harnessing sunlight to produce value-added products, indicates promise in the photoelectrochemical approach as a tertiary pathway to recover nutrients and energy from wastewater nitrates.

Published: November 2020

In this study, we investigate the use of surface-modified silica nanoparticles to improve the anti-fouling performance of PVDF ultrafiltration membranes. Here, fouling resistant nanoparticles were prepared by grafting monohydroxy-polydimethylsiloxane onto the surface of silica nanoparticles using Steglich esterification. The mixed matrix PVDF membranes were prepared at a range of nanoparticle concentrations (0, 1.6, 3.2, 6.3, and 11.8%) to understand how PDMS modified silica content affected membrane performance. The resulting hybrid membranes were characterised using a range of techniques including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), water contact angle (CA), porosity, and pore size measurements, in order to determine how morphological features of the nanocomposite membranes affected fouling and pure water flux. Embedding silica nanoparticles resulted in a significant reduction in membrane fouling, including lower protein adsorption and a flux recovery ratio of 97 %. Although water flux was reduced by the addition of nanoparticles, the change in the porosity, mean pore size and the hydrophilicity of the membrane caused the rejection rate to be increased significantly. Together, these results are of particular benefit to the ultrafiltration industry, where improved antifouling and flux recovery can help reduce operating and maintenance costs in these membrane processes.

Published: November 2020

La enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal (EII) y el síndrome del intestino irritable comparten muchos síntomas. Si bien el síndrome del intestino irritable es un trastorno funcional del intestino para el que no se dispone de un tratamiento específico, la gama de terapias eficaces para la EII está evolucionando rápidamente. Por lo tanto, es esencial un diagnóstico preciso de la EII. La evaluación clínica, junto con diversas modalidades de imagen y endoscopia, ha sido el pilar del diagnóstico durante muchos años. En la última década han aparecido biomarcadores fecales de inflamación gastrointestinal, de los cuales la calprotectina, una proteína citosólica de los neutrófilos, ha sido la más estudiada. La enfermedad de Crohn y la colitis ulcerosa son enfermedades crónicas remitentes y reincidente, y es importante la evaluación objetiva de la actividad de la enfermedad y la respuesta al tratamiento. Esta revisión se centra en el uso de mediciones de calprotectina fecal en el diagnóstico y seguimiento de pacientes con EII con el fin de abordar el tema y brindar información de interés para futuras investigaciones.

Text interpretation often requires common sense knowledge and reasoning. A convenient tool for developing methods of common sense reasoning are special sets of challenge problems whose interpretation requires sophisticated reasoning. An interesting example is a recently published data set called Triangle Choice of Plausible Alternatives (Triangle-COPA), which contains 100 multiple-choice problems that test the interpretation of social scenarios. Each problem includes a statement and two alternatives. The task is to identify the more plausible alternative. For processing Triangle-COPA data we use SemETAP, a general purpose semantic analyzer. We implement the full scenario of NL understanding starting from NL texts and not from manually composed simplified logical formulas, which is a common practice in logic-based approaches to common sense reasoning. We produce Enhanced Semantic Structures of the statement and both alternatives and check which alternative manifests more semantic agreement with the statement in terms of inferences.

Probabilistic topic modeling is a tool for statistical text analysis that can give us information about the inner structure of a large corpus of documents. The most popular models—Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis and Latent Dirichlet Allocation—produce topics in a form of discrete distributions over the set of all words of the corpus. They build topics using an iterative algorithm that starts from some random initialization and optimizes a loss function. One of the main problems of topic modeling is sensitivity to random initialization that means producing significantly different solutions from different initial points. Several studies showed that side information about documents may improve the overall quality of a topic model. In this paper, we consider the use of additional information in the context of the stability problem. We represent auxiliary information as an additional modality and use BigARTM library in order to perform experiments on several text collections. We show that using side information as an additional modality improves topics stability without significant quality loss of the model.

Type 2 Diabetes mellitus is a multi-factorial disease caused due to gene defect as well as environmental factor. GWAS have played a primary role in demonstrating that genetic variation in a number of loci, SNPs, affects the risk of T2DM. there are our objective is to find out Disease pathway map by taking all genes of T2DM which are 35 in numbers and but in all there are 10 mostly involve in T2Dm from all over world population and it is find out by GWAS method then after we analyzed the KEGG pathway by analyzing T2DM pathway, Insulin signaling pathway, and WNT signalling  pathway to find out common protein  then after by bioinformatics analysis combined and expend these pathways toward  common  protein for understanding the Diseases mechanism. We do Protein-protein interaction and find out their complete target hub protein and target prediction for network hub. so for all these analysis I collect the total genes involve in  T2DM and  take  those gene which are common for all  population and their SNPs ,chromosome location in these all genes and by  using string database I tried to find out the  target protein hub which are found  in this disease so there I have taken 5 most frequent genes and doing PPI in human so there are all have their  own target protein hub-KCNJ11 have target protein hub PPKACA & TCF7L2 have complete target protein hub TLEI & PPARG have a target protein hub EP300 & CDKL1 have compete target protein hub UCB & HHEX complete target protein SOX2.

This research aims to investigate the impact of ESG performance on firm performance and market value. Total samples used are 271 listed companies (1355 firm-years observations) in five years period (2013-2017), which consisted of four ASEAN countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand). This study is analyzed using multiple regression analyses with the random-effect model and descriptive statistic. The independent variable is ESG Score; the dependent variables are three performance indicators (Return on Assets, Return on Equity, and Tobin’s Q) and Price-Earnings ratio; the control variables are firm size, firm's age, financial leverage, and industry. This research contributes to broadening the scope of the literature review regardings ESG performance by analyzing it on developing countries and also by using rarely used dependent variables, market value. The finding in this research is there is no significant influence from ESG Score to Firm Performance and Market Value because ESG Score is not yet a part of firm performance measurement. This research is limited in conducting lag effect research with the lag period of only one year, and also the number of companies that already have ESG scores is limited.

Laporan keuangan suatu perusahaan dapat menunjukkan kinerja sesungguhnya jika laporan keuangannya berkualitas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui Pengaruh kompetensi sumberdaya manusia dan system informasi akuntansi terhadap kualitas laporan keuangan. Data dalam penelitian ini diperoleh dari kuesioner dengan responden karyawan bagian system informasi akuntansi di UMKM. Kebaruan penelitian ini menggunakan sampel UMKM yang berada di wilayah Lombok Barat dan sudah menggunakan system informasi dalam pengelolaan transaksi keuangan. Jumlah responden sebanyak 76 orang. Alat analisis yang digunakan adalah regresi berganda dengan menggunakan SPSS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kompetensi sumberdaya manusia tidak berpengaruh terhadap kualitas laporan keuangan, hal ini disebabkan karena masih rendahnya pemahaman SAK ETAP sumberdaya manusia yang dimiliki oleh UMKM, sehingga laporan keuangan yang dihasilkan masih diragukan relevansi dan keandalannya. Sedangkan system informasi akuntansi berpengaruh terhadap kualitas laporan keuangan.

Los factores que inciden en el proceso de desarrollo de los territorios rurales y que explican el éxito o el fracaso de las estrategias políticas impulsadas desde lo local para aprehender la complejidad de dichos procesos. En el caso de los espacios naturales habitados por poblaciones indígenas que mantienen estrechas relaciones con los recursos asociados a tales áreas, el enfoque del ‘desarrollo sostenible’ resulta también insuficiente para explicar las dinámicas sociales que tienen lugar en esos espacios.

A crossing is a meeting point between roads and railways, where this often causes delays and traffic queues, as happened at the crossing on Jl. Abimanyu, Tegal City. This study aimed to analyze the volume, delay and queue length of traffic on each road which occured due to the closing of the railroad crossing. Apart from that, this research was also intended to provide reasonable alternative input for both the management of Pertamina and the road users. This research used the analysis method of v/c ratio, queue and delay with reference to the Manual for Indonesian Road Capacity. Results of the analysis show, the  highest queue occurred on the Abimanyu road, which was of 70.5 pcu with the delay of 581.5 seconds/pcu. On the segment of Jl. Menteri Supeno I, the traffic queue was reported to have reached 47.8 pcu with the delay time of 441 seconds/pcu; on the segment of Jl. Semeru, the queue was reported to reach 17 pcu with the delay of 395.6 seconds/pcu, and the last one was the queue at the segment of Jl. Menteri Supeno II which was of 10.8 pcu, with the delay time of 368.5 seconds/pcu. Ones of the keys to overcome problems of traffic queues and delay were by dividing the shunting time into 2 phases according to the results of alternative analysis II where the traffic queue became smaller of 35.3 pcu with the delay time of 290 seconds/pcu and by changing the shunting schedule at off peak time.
Supporting Mature Aged Students to Develop Group Work Skills: A Review of a 2-Year Study of Students’ Experience of Group Work within their Pre-Nursing Program
Authors: McCall Deanna , Relf Bronwyn
Published: November 2020

The University of Newcastle offers a tertiary preparation program that enables mature aged students to gain access to higher education. One of the largest intakes is into the pre-nursing program. This paper will share the findings of a 2-year study of tertiary preparation students undertaking group work within their pre-nursing program. For many mature-aged students returning to study, it requires the development and transition of their identity from that of an adult role to that of a student role. The aim of this study was to examine how group work can help support mature aged students in their transition to a student identity. The premise was to enable students to develop skills for success in their undergraduatenursing studies, whilst fostering social connection and a sense of belonging in the university. We identified an essential aspect of nursing as being able to work collaboratively with other nurses and within allied health teams. Keeping this in mind, we developed and delivered an approach that introduced group work in Week 3 of the students' program to enable them to effectively integrate curricula and co-curricular learning experiences. Using an online assessment tool called SPARK, students were each asked to self-reflect upon their individual role and their role within the group according to specific criteria that promoted positive group work behaviours and fostered social connection. It was hoped that by providing students with resources and evaluation tools they would develop group work and self-reflection skills to succeed in their studies and future profession.

A obesidade tornou-se um dos mais expressivos problemas de saúde pública no mundo. O excesso de peso, geralmente, não é abordado, adequadamente, na infância e na adolescência e, com o passar do tempo, outras doenças se instalam ou se intensificam, são as comorbidades como diabetes mellitus, hipertensão arterial, dentre outras e as doenças cardiovasculares. Estima-se que, em 2015, 17,7 milhões de pessoas morreram por doenças cardiovasculares à nível global. Este artigo tem por objetivo levar à criação de políticas públicas de educação em saúde, com atendimento escolar específico e devido encaminhamento dos alunos portadores de obesidade às unidades de saúde. A educação alimentar, com mudança de hábitos e a atividade física regular devem ser estimuladas, como medidas preventivas e corretivas, da obesidade e de doenças cardiovasculares na fase precoce da vida.
