Published: September 2022

Objective - The penetration rate of financial planning is still considered low according to a few studies done by our regulatory bodies in Malaysian and a few scholars and researchers. Therefore, the novelty of this research is ingrained in a study to explore the factors influencing working adults' awareness of individual financial planning. The possible factors included financial literacy, education level, and income level. Secondly, a critical discussion on the literature review that was done by the previous researchers regarding both the dependent variable and independent variables will be performed.
Methodology/Technique – On the other hand, a quantitative study approach is employed in this study. Hence, the targeted population is working adults, with data collected through a convenient sampling approach with a minimum sample size of 120 respondents. Additionally, the questionnaire was distributed through a digital survey.
Finding – Moreover, the analysis methods adopted in this study included validity tests, reliability tests, descriptive statistics, and inferential statistics. According to the findings, there is a significant relationship between financial literacy and awareness of personal financial planning among working adults in Penang. In other words, financial literacy represents a significant predictor for the dependent variable.
Novelty – However, the other two independent variables are insignificant predictors of the awareness of personal financial planning among working adults in Penang.

Authors: Gallagher Anne
Published: September 2022

Ireland is a multilingual country, home to at least 212 languages, as well as English, the Irish language - the oldest language in Europe still spoken as a vernacular - and our native Irish Sign Language, whose users’ rights have only recently been signed into law.  This paper will consider the main issues in language education in Ireland today from primary to third level, together with the economic, geopolitical and cultural forces which influence the ways in which we engage in communication both at home and abroad. Following a brief examination of the history which has led us to this point, it will review a number of European policies which continue to shape the manner in which both Irish and Modern Foreign Languages are learned and taught in present-day Ireland. Finally, it will assess recent policies/strategies and initiatives published by Government, the  strengths and weaknesses of language education here today, and propose some measures which could boost our national languages capacity in a world which, despite some impressions to the contrary, continues to be decidedly multilingual.
Age encoded adversarial learning for pediatric CT segmentation
Authors: Heidari Gheshlaghi Saba , Kan Chi Nok Enoch , Gilat-Schmidt Taly , Ye Dong Hye
Published: September 2022

Organ segmentation from CT images is critical in early diagnoses of diseases, progress monitoring, pre-operative planning, radiation therapy planning and CT dose estimation. However, data limitation remains one of the main challenges in the medical image segmentation domain. This challenge is particularly huge in pediatric medical imaging due to the patients' heightened sensitivity to radiation. To address this issue, we propose a novel segmentation framework with a built-in auxiliary classifier generative adversarial network (ACGAN) that conditions age, simultaneously generating additional features during training. The proposed CFG-SegNet (conditional feature generation segmentation network) was trained on a single loss function and used 2.5D segmentation batches. Our experiment was performed on a dataset with 359 subjects (180 male and 179 female) aged from 5 days to 16 years and a mean age of 7. CFG-SegNet achieves an average segmentation accuracy of 0.681 DSC (Dice Similarity Coefficient) on the prostate, 0.619 DSC on the uterus, 0.912 DSC on the liver, and 0.832 DSC on the heart with 4-fold cross-validation. We compare the segmentation accuracy of our proposed method with previously published U-Net results, and our network improved the segmentation accuracy by  2.7\%, 2.6\%, 2.8\%, and 3.4\% for prostate, uterus, liver, and heart respectively. The results indicate that our high-performing segmentation framework can precisely segment organs when limited training images are available.
Adapting the Grimms: Going Against Patriarchy in Singh’s Movie Mirror Mirror
Authors: Huda Abdullah Abdulateef Al-Hassani
Published: September 2022

Many cinematic adaptations were produced for the Grimms’ “Little Snow-White” (1812) including Mirror Mirror movie (2012), the contemporary version adapted by Taresm Singh. Singh’s version was able to depict the modern reality of women and went against patriarchy by embracing feminist ideologies of the fourth-wave feminism. Therefore, he challenged the ideologies of the mainstream cinema dominated by the patriarchal élite’s capitalist mode of production that still adhere to the stereotyped patriarchal image of women’s ‘victimization,’ ‘objectification’ and ‘marginalization,’ which did not represent women’s modern reality anymore. This paper, however, is a qualitative study aimed to prove that the feminist ideologies could only be retained after a cultural transformation process from the patriarchal élite culture to the popular culture of mass media after the World War II, which noticeably affected women’s image in the cinema. And thus, this paper is an analytical study of Mirror Mirror that used the analytical textual and production approaches to popular culture along with the Marxist and feminist film theories to unfold the feminist ideologies prevailed in the movie. The study has concluded that the cultural transformation from the patriarchy into the popular culture of mass media led to the emergence of counter-cinema or cinefeminism that encouraged the reversing of the traditional gender roles in cinema. It has also shown that class conflict and economic power caused by the cultural transformation helped in redefining women’s role and place in society. Thereby maintaining the feminist ideologies of the fourth-wave’s ‘women’s empowerment’ positively affected women and girls to reflect their modern reality

Authors: Gürel Köksal Neslişah , Sağlam Zuhal Aydan
Published: September 2022

Objective: Aim of the study is to evaluate factors affecting treatment success among individuals receiving varenicline therapy for smoking cessation.
Material and Methods: This research was carried out at Istanbul Medeniyet University Göztepe Training and Research Hospital between January 2018 and January 2019. A total of 209 patients in the smoking cessation outpatient clinic who were treated with varenicline Varenicline were constituted into the study group. The Fagerstrom Nicotine Dependence Level Test (FTND) was used to determine individuals' nicotine addiction levels, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to evaluate anxiety and depression levels.
Results: There were 90 (43.1%) women and 119 (56.9%) men in the study group and mean age was 41.34 ± 10.93 (21-64) years. Overall, 63.2% (n=132) of varenicline recipients quit smoking. The frequency of quitting smoking due to physician advice was higher in those who quit than those who did not (p=0.011). Multiple logistic regression revealed that the independent factors associated with the lower likelihood of smoking cessation were higher number of cigarettes per day (p=0.008), higher HADS-Total score (p<0.001), post-treatment nervousness (p=0.046), and post-treatment depressive mood (p=0.007), whereas being able to remain smoke-free for longer periods in previous quitting attempts was associated with higher likelihood of success (p=0.005).
Conclusion: The success of smoking cessation with varenicline therapy is lower in the presence of the following factors: having high risk for anxiety and depression, smoking a greater number of cigarettes per day, shorter periods of remaining smoke-free in previous quitting attempts, and experiencing nervousness during withdrawal. Receiving physician advice to quit also appears to increase the chance of quitting smoking.

Authors: Madalaimuthu
Published: September 2022

Frequent lockdown, social distancing and lack of social interaction among peers have disrupted socialization process of teens during COVID-19 pandemic, leading to loneliness, boredom and a sense of hopelessness. These feelings can perpetuate into the minds of the teens and create negative patterns of thinking. Hence, it is imperative to explore the level of depression among the teens during the pandemic. From December 24, 2021 to January 14, 2022, 152 participants completed Socio Demographic Profile developed by the researchers and PHQ-9 modified for adolescents by Johnson (2002).The mean age of the participant was 17.69. Percentage analysis showed that 36.8% of the teens had severe depression, 22.4% had moderately severe depression, 19.1% had moderate depression, 16.4% had mild and 5.3% of the teens had none to minimal. Kruskal-Wallis test analysis showed that higher secondary school teens significantly differed in depression than high school and college teens. There was no significant difference in depression based on gender and birth order of the teens. Teens studying higher secondary school require special attention in identifying and reducing their depression level.
GROUND OF CONSTRUCTIVE PARAMETERS OF ANTI-VIBRATION PRESS NOZZLE
Authors: Luts Pavlo
Published: September 2022

The use of spent grains as an additional component of diets in animal nutrition in modern conditions is a very important issue. As a result of its seasonal formation in large quantities, there is a need for additional processing to extend the shelf life. Regardless of the direction of its further processing (canning, drying) or transportation to a farm located at a considerable distance, it is effective to partially dehydrate raw materials and reduce the initial humidity. One of the most common methods of reducing humidity at its high initial values is squeezing by pressing with screw presses. The design parameters of the anti-vibration squeezing nozzle of the two-screw press are offered and substantiated to ensure the stability of the dehydration process of pellets and reduce energy costs by achieving the stability of the pressing process. The design of an experimental sample of a two-screw press for dehydration of spent grains using a squeezing nozzle with a theoretically sound surface shape is presented. A mathematical model of the process of interaction of the surface of the squeezing nozzle with the raw material, which linked the pressure distribution in the contact zone of the medium and the surface of the squeezing nozzle with its design parameters. The geometry of the surface of the squeezing nozzle in the form of an exponential function with a power factor is established. The density of distribution of filter openings on length depending on necessary production productivity is offered. The pressure distribution along the length of the two-screw press nozzle has been experimentally confirmed. Dynamic dependences of pressure change with time are obtained, which show the stability of the pressing process and the reduction of vibration in the process at different speeds of the screws and the width of the outlet. The optimal parameters of the two-screw press for dehydration of spent grains are proposed.

The assessments of nowcasting of large precipitation areas accumulated in the last few years at the Hydrometeorological Research Center of the Russian Federation are presented in two parts complemented by a discussion of methodological problems in the first part and application problems in the second part of the paper. The division is largely due to the sharp distinction between the theoretical modeling of extremes with a relatively free choice of assumptions and the statistical analysis of the distribution "tails" in rapidly "impoverishing" samples. The contrast between these parts is exacerbated by the responsibility we attribute to the statistical inference relating to extreme and, as a rule, dangerous events. The first part deals with the description of two classical models of the extreme value theory for independent one-dimensional random variables ("block maxima") and for threshold exceedances in stationary time series ("peaks over threshold"). The article explores problems arising from violation of the theoretical results and carries a brief overview of the methods of addressing such problems when extremes are modeled using real data, including those from the field of meteorology. Special attention is given to the distributions with "heavy" tails. Methods and formulas for estimating important characteristics, including the parameters of limiting distributions, are discussed that are borrowed from the references in the documentation of computational mathematical packages of the R language repository.

Aortic Valve Repair Following Ventriculo-septal Defect (VSD) and Severe Aortic Regurgitation: Surgical Techniques, Complications and Follow up Events
Authors: Chinawa Josephat M
Published: September 2022

Background: Aortic regurgitation (AR) is a common sequel resulting from prolapsed of right coronary cusp (RCC), non-coronary cusp (NCC) or both, in the repair of ventricular septal defects (VSD).

Objectives: The purpose of presenting these cases is to highlight the fact that aortic valve repair does not only end in addressing the cusp as this will result in moderate aortic regurgitation after surgery.

Results: Our first case is a two and half year old male with alarge peri-membranous VSD with RCC prolapse causing co-optation failure and severe AR .The second case is a 12 year old male a large peri-membranous ventriculo-septal defect with RCC prolapsed with severe AR .The third case is a 12 year old female with a large peri-membranous VSD with a significant right coronary cusp prolapsed, severe aortic regurgitation due to non-cooptation of RCC with the remaining cusps with flow reversal in the descending aorta. The last case is a four year, 6-month-old male with a large peri-membranous VSD and severe AR from NCC and RCC prolapse. All had repair of aortic valve with mild regurgitation after several follow up.

Conclusion: Aortic valve repair resulting from prolapse of RCC and NCC in children with VSD is expedient as it reduces morbidity and mortality post-operation.

The observed intense competitive fashion market and the fragmented knowledge in fashion involvement which is largely skewed towards utilitarian dimension have combined to trigger this study. Accordingly, this paper seeks to unravel hedonic antecedents of fashion involvement and consumption in a fast-expanding market of a typical developing sub-Saharan African country context; and to posit a framework to guide private brand fashion consumer research in fast-expanding markets from developing country context. Data were collected through the aid of structured questionnaire from fashion consumers in top fashion outlets in Lagos metropolis. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique was deployed to process data regarding hypothesized causal relationships using SmartPLS 2.0 software. Support was found for three hedonic drivers and support was not for one. Fashion belief was found as strong mediator between fashion involvement and fashion consumption. The study develops a theory that reflects hedonic drivers of fashion involvement by providing strategic insights for local fashion brand entrepreneurs, especially as they compete with established global brands. Theoretical and managerial implications of the findings were discussed.

Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal que tuvo como objetivo identificar y analizar las características clínicas de personalidad en sentenciados por delitos de violación sexual contra niños, niñas y adolescentes. Se tuvo como muestra a 157 sentenciados varones del establecimiento penitenciario Miguel Castro Castro, Lima, Perú, con años de sentencia desde 12 años hasta cadena perpetua (N=24.8; DE = 9.58), con edades entre 19 y 66 años (M=38.6; DE= 10.69) y en su mayoría con grado de instrucción secundaria completa (43.31%). Se utilizó una ficha sociodemográfica y el Inventario Clínico Multiaxial de Millon II (MCMI-II) para determinar los diagnósticos clínicos de personalidad. Los resultados dieron evidencia que los diagnósticos clínicos de personalidad en niveles moderados y elevados de los sentenciados por delito de violación sexual contra NNA son compulsivo, dependiente, narcisista, histriónico, paranoide, dependencia de drogas y desborde delusional. La mayoría presentó de dos a más escalas clínicas de personalidad rígidas, poco adaptativos e inflexibles. Se concluye, que dicha evidencia puede ser de utilidad en los programas terapéuticos y de tratamiento de agresores sexuales contra NNA.

Membaca, yang dianggap sebagai keterampilan berbahasa yang penting, adalah proses aktif dan integratif di mana pembaca mencoba menghubungkan apa yang mereka baca dengan apa yang telah mereka ketahui. Kesenjangan penelitian ini adalah beberapa siswa tidak tahu bagaimana memahami wacana secara tekstual. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mendapatkan pemahaman yang lebih tentang efektivitas strategi Petunjuk Kontestual (SPK) dalam membaca beberapa bagian. Pertanyaan penelitian adalah apakah strategi ini efektif dalam pengajaran pemahaman membaca di Universitas. Siswa kelas dua di Universitas dipilih sebagai subjek dan dibagi rata menjadi dua kelompok; satu kelompok adalah kelompok eksperimen dan yang lainnya adalah kelompok kontrol. Ada beberapa prosedur yang dilakukan dalam pengumpulan data untuk menjawab pertanyaan penelitian; pertama, pre-test diberikan sebelum eksperimen dilakukan untuk memastikan apakah tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan dalam kecakapan bahasa Inggris di dua kelompok mata pelajaran. Subyek diminta untuk menyelesaikan tes pemahaman bacaan yang terdiri dari empat puluh lima tes pilihan ganda dalam sembilan puluh menit. Kedua, setelah eksperimen dilakukan post-test dengan menggunakan tes yang sama untuk pre-test. Akhirnya, uji-t digunakan untuk menentukan apakah ada perbedaan yang signifikan dalam pencapaian pemahaman membaca antara kedua kelompok. Tingkat signifikan ditetapkan pada p = 0,05. Kesimpulannya adalah penggunaan SPK dalam pemahaman bacaan memberikan dampak yang besar terhadap pemahaman siswa.
Conceivable Challenges Heads of Schools Face in Managing School-Based Income-Generating Activities Among Public Secondary Schools in Kilimanjaro Region – Tanzania

This study explored and examined the conceivable challenges heads of schools face in managing School-Based Income-Generating Activities (SB-IGAs) in public secondary schools in Kilimanjaro region, Tanzania. Guided by Resource Dependency Theory, the study adopted the embedded model of convergent design under a mixed research approach for concurrent data collection and analysis. Probability and non-probability sampling techniques were used to obtain 36 Heads of Schools (HOSs), 360 Teachers, 432 Students, and 6 District Education Officers. The quantitative data were descriptively analyzed through frequencies and percentages, and presented in tables, whereas qualitative data were transcribed and analyzed in themes emerging, and explained in words supported by verbatim quotations. The study found that inadequate knowledge and shortage of funds as initial capital were stumbling blocks that prevented the advancement and stability of SB-IGAs. The study also revealed that there was the inadequacy of land set aside and insufficient water supply that was explicitly meant for SB-IGAs in public secondary schools. The study concluded that inadequacy of land, insufficient water supply, lack of transparency, lack of motivation and inadequate funds as initiation capital are the core challenges that prevent the advancement of SB-IGAs and thus hinder financial sustainability in public secondary schools in Kilimanjaro region. Therefore, the study recommends that the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology should develop and adopt clear strategies for resolving challenges that HOSs face in managing SB-IGAs in public secondary schools in Tanzania.

OBJECTIVES
To determine the frequency of renal lithiasis among patients coming to Khyber Teaching Hospital Peshawar.
METHODOLOGY
This Observational cross-sectional study was undertaken at Khyber Teaching Hospital Peshawar, period (January 2021 to August 2021). Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire. Non-probability convenient sampling technique was used to recruit 61 patients. Institutional Review Board approval was obtained prior to data collection. SPSS version 20 was used to analyze data.
RESULTS
Out of 160 patients, 61(37.5%) patients were having renal calculi. Among those 61 patients, n=49(80%) were male participants and 12(20%) female participants said that they are having renal calculi. The age of the participants was 12-65years. The proportion of males was approximately higher as compared to the females. Most of the participants have renal calculi at the time of the examination.
CONCLUSION
There is a high rate of renal lithiasis in mostly male patients and at young ages. These demographic factors may be potentially associated with the occurrence of renal lithiasis. Further research is required to study these factors in detail in relation to renal lithiasis
