Side friction factors are all those actions related to the activities taking place by the sides of the road and sometimes within the road, which interfere with the traffic flow on the travelled way. They include but not limited to pedestrians, bicycles, non-motorized vehicles, parked and stopping vehicles. These factors are normally very frequent in densely populated areas in developing countries, while they are random and sparse in developed countries making it of less interest for research and consequently there is comparatively little literature about them. The objective of this thesis is to analyze the effect of these factors on capacity of urban roads. The present study is mainly focused on individual effect of the friction factors like pedestrians crossing the road on capacity of urban roads. Data on two sections of 4-lane divided road were collected in Hyderabad with pedestrian cross flow. These are taken as the base sections. Three basic parameters of traffic speed, volume and density are used for estimation of traffic carrying capacity of a road. For determination of speed-volume relationship in heterogeneous traffic condition, the volume calculated by total vehicles recorded for each counting period were converted into equivalent number of PCUs. Mean stream speed or weighted space mean speed is calculated and used in the present study. The present study demonstrates that mix traffic stream can be converted in to an homogeneous equivalent of passenger cars by multiplying the total traffic volume (in veh/hr) by a stream equivalency factor (K). It will avoid the problem of estimation of PCU values for individual vehicle categories in the traffic stream. The stream equivalency factor (K) will depend on traffic composition and a regression equation is developed in this study to estimate K-value on urban roads.

Medical Malpractice Payment Reports of Physician Assistants/Associates Related to State Practice Laws and Regulations
Authors: DePalma Sondra M. , DePalma Michael , Kolhoff Sean , Smith Noël E.
Published: May 2024

Purpose:

Authorizing physician assistants/associates (PAs) to provide care to patients and removing restrictive laws and regulations without sacrificing patient safety is essential to meet the needs of patients and the US healthcare system. The aim of this observational study was to determine if states with permissive compared to restrictive PA scope of practice laws and regulations had higher instances of medical malpractice payment reports (MMPR), a proxy of patient harm.

Design:

This observational study examined 10 years (2010-2019) of medical malpractice payment reports data from the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) compared to the laws and regulations of states for the same period.

Results:

Negative binomial regressions indicated no statistically significant differences in MMPR rates between states with permissive versus restrictive PA practice laws and regulations. Five of six practice reforms decreased or had no significant effect on PA and physician MMPR occurrences. One reform was associated with a weak but statistically significant increased risk of MMPRs for PAs and a trend toward a decreased risk for physicians.

Conclusion:

This study suggests that removing restrictive laws and regulations to PA practice does not increase overall risks to patients or increase rates of malpractice within US healthcare.

Authors:   Korean Association for Qualitative Inquiry, Jeong Seongjin
Published: May 2024

This study aims to prepare basic data to secure career education expertise for general school teachers by confirming the experience of secondary school general teachers participating in career training following the introduction of the high school credit system. To this end, first, what is the motivation for secondary school general teachers to participate in career training following the introduction of the high school credit system? Second, what is the process of secondary school general teachers participating in career training following the introduction of the high school credit system? Third, what are the results of secondary school general teachers’ participation in career training following the introduction of the high school credit system? This study was analyzed through Consensual Qualitative Research (CQR). This method is useful for structurally identifying and explaining the themes, structure, and correlation of general teachers’ career training participation experience following the introduction of the high school credit system (Hill, Thompson, Williams, 1997). The results of this study are as follows. First, the motivation for secondary school general teachers to participate in career training following the introduction of the high school credit system was derived into two categories and six subcategories: ‘difficulty in career education’ and ‘interest in career subject classes’. Second, the process of participating in career training for secondary school general teachers following the introduction of the high school credit system is divided into three categories and nine subcategories: ‘acquisition of career education-related information’, ‘recognition of career education as a teacher’s role’ and ‘application of career education to practice’. Third, the results of secondary school general teachers’ participation in career training following the introduction of the high school credit system were divided into three categories and nine subcategories: ‘Improvement of career subject teaching capabilities’, ‘Formation of beliefs about career education’, and ‘Leap forward as career teachers’. The results of this study will confirm the career education-related responsibilities and tasks of secondary school general teachers and provide practical implications for the detailed curriculum composition of career training ahead of the full introduction of the high school credit system in 2025.
A Phenomenological Study on Overcoming Career Anxiety and Developing Career decision-making Self-Efficacy among Non-Metropolitan University Students: Focusing on the Experiences of Students in the PK Area
Authors:   Korean Association for Qualitative Inquiry, Park Kyungja , Kim Myeongchan
Published: May 2024

This research is a phenomenological study on career anxiety, coping mechanisms, and career decision-making Self-Efficacy self-efficacy among university Students in the PK Area. This study analyzed the content of the career anxiety experienced by the study participants, as well as analyzing the overcoming of it and the development of career self-efficacy. Participants consisted of 11 students attending a non-metropolitan university. Using Colaizzi’s (1978) descriptive phenomenological research methods, the researcher conducted 1:1 in-depth interviews with the participants to construct the data. Because of the data analysis, 33 sub-components were selected. The researchers presented these as 11 components. Lastly, these components were reorganized into four categories namely “successful job experience in a non-metropolitan area,” “job role modeling,” “motivation in a harsh environment,” and “physical and emotional arousal.” According to the results, the category of successful job experience, as a component of overcoming career anxiety, led to a sense of challenge and enthusiasm. In terms of job role modeling, the participants set their role models and made a continuous effort to successfully perform their roles. As for motivation, most participants relieved their anxiety on their own by actively and positively strengthening their motivation. Finally, the participants positively utilized stress through physical and emotional arousal, maintained a healthy state of body and mind, and developed a sense of career self-efficacy. Based on the research results, we discussed recalling success experiences, cultivating strength to overcome career anxiety, role modeling, motivation, and physical and emotional awakening. Based on this, suggestions were made for a program to connect with graduating seniors in college career guidance, a counseling system that can connect motivation enhancement to behavioral strategies, and an approach to maintain a state of physical calm to relieve anxiety.

Authors:   Korean Association for Qualitative Inquiry, Kim Hyunseoung , Ju Younga
Published: May 2024

This study is a study on the Essence of the sexual experiences experienced by female teenagers during the process of runaway in adolescence. Data collection, analysis, and writing were conducted by applying van Manen’s hermeneutic phenomenology research method, and women between the ages of 20 and 24 who could experience runaway at the age of 13 and 19 and recall their sexual experiences during the runaway process were selected as participants. The study resulted in four major subjects and 14 subtopics. The major subjects were categorized as ‘Continue to have sex that seems to have agreed, but has never agreed’, ‘To be the helpless object of sexual activity’, ‘To suffer in return for struggle for survival’, and ‘No one can believe but still looks for someone’. Female teenagers in runaway situations accepted that they agreed to sexual behavior under situational and psychological pressure while helplessly accepting the other person’s sexual behavior in a situation where they had no place to rely on. It was found that he suffered physical and psychological pain from prostitution chosen for his livelihood and repeated his attempts to establish a close relationship even though it was difficult to trust others. This study is meaningful in that it provided practical basic data for counseling intervention of adolescents who show maladjustment to sexual experience and sex education that meets the needs of adolescents by reflecting on the sexual experiences of early adult women and examining them from multiple perspectives.

In this study, we seek to understand the current status of the future education district project in Saha-gu, Busan and explore directions for improvement through the activities of the Ministry of Education’s Future Education District Growth Support Group. The Future Education District is a project promoted by the Ministry of Education to make a qualitative leap in the innovative education district. To achieve this research purpose, we provided consulting support to sympathize with the narratives of Saha Future Education District staff in the Busan region and collaboratively explore issues. As a result of the study, the Saha Future Education District was experiencing difficulties in securing the self-reliance of the people, connecting upper-level schools with community-based education, supporting basic academic skills and literacy education, and communicating and educational cooperation with school members. In response to this, it was agreed that it was necessary to strengthen solidarity and cooperation among local-communities of education, strengthen communication with school members, and improve local-community education programs in line with the philosophy and vision of local-community education. Based on these research results, we discussed the need for activating schools’ voluntary participation, establishing the role and identity of village instructors, strengthening the local education ecosystem model in which the office of education and local governments cooperate, and providing professional education support for those in charge.

Determination of operational properties of paint coating materials
Authors: Nenastina Tetiana
Published: May 2024

Problem. Varnishes are used in all branches of industry and economy. With their help, you can protect metals from the effects of aggressive environment, prevent from the negative effects of corrosion, preserve consumer properties, and give the treated surface an aesthetic look. One of the methods of protecting metal from corrosion is the application of coatings, including paints and varnishes, which form a protective film on the surface of the metal and prevent corrosion processes on the surface. Methodology. The research was conducted on the operational characteristics of enamel-type paint coatings: paint powder UD-1028-07040-T and soil FL-03K. Determination of moisture absorption of the free coating film was carried out using the desiccator method. In order to determine the penetration time of aggressive solutions through the paint coating film, an electrochemical method was used, whose purpose is to determine the change in the electrochemical potential of the object under study during the penetration of aggressive solutions through the paint coating film to the metal. The study of the hardness of paint coatings was carried out by the method of static indentation, respectively, using a microhardness meter. Originality. The research results showed the advantage of the UD-1028-07040-T powder paint coating over the FL-03K soil, which can be explained by such factors as the structure of the paint coating, the porosity of the surface, and the phenomenon of adhesion between the paint and the surface on which it is applied. Practical value. Powder paint UD-1028-07040-T absorbs water much less (up to 2.12%) compared to FL-03K soil (up to 5.14%), this indicates a relatively higher porosity of FL-03K soil; it is confirmed by the results of porosity determination, which was 1 point. When determining the penetration time of aggressive solutions through the paint film, it was found that FL-03K soil quickly passes aggressive solutions through its surface (in 144 hours) compared to powder paint (192 hours). This indicates that the use of powder paint in conditions involving contact with aggressive substances will be more appropriate.

Effect of Expanded Perlite Aggregate and Silica Fume on Some Properties of Lightweight Concrete
Authors: Jssem Mohmmed , Fawzi Nada Mahdi
Published: May 2024

The lightweight concrete is manufactured from aggregates (expanded perlite) with a density of 145 kg/m3 and an absorption of 1.65%. This study has two aspects: a theoretical aspect that includes previous research on this concrete and a practical aspect that provides for conducting two groups of mixtures and preparing them according to ACI 211.2-98 design method. The first group includes cement, perlite, and water, and the second group consists of the addition of superplasticizer and silica fume, Each group included five series with three variables for each series. In the first series, the cement content was changed with a content of (275,300,350) kg/m3 with a volumetric mixing ratio (1:4), while in the second series, the aggregate content was changed only with a cement content of (275) kg/m3 with mixing ratios (1:4.1:5, 1:6) with a ratio of water to cement (0.4), and in the third series (superplasticizer) type (F) is added in different proportions, in the fourth series silica fume was added in three proportions (5%, 10%, 15% ) By replacing the weight of cement and the fifth series, the optimum contents were determined, which have acceptable workability, low density, and compressive strength commensurate with the density. Tests (flowability, dry density, and compressive strength) were carried out. It was observed that the workability, dry density, and compressive strength decreased with increasing perlite content but improved with the addition of superplasticizer and silica fume. The percentage of increase in density was (9% and 32%) at the optimum value of silica fume in 28.7 days, respectively. As for the compressive strength, the percentage of increase was (30% and 36%) in 7 and 28 days, respectively.

Upon different traditional and unconventional contour cutting technologies, fiber laser cutting technology is increasingly emerging as the most adequate choice for modern industrial production. In this paper the basics, specific characteristics and associated benefits and opportunities, as well as latest research and development directions in fiber laser cutting technology were discussed. In addition, the study presents results obtained by realization of two pilot experiments, based on the use of one factor at a time (OFAT) experimental strategy, in fiber laser cutting of mild steel. The first OFAT experiment considered the analysis and modelling of the effect of focus position on the kerf width and surface roughness, while the second OFAT experiment investigated the effect of the cutting speed. Based on the analysis of experimental results more adequate parameter settings than initial were identified which was one of the underlying motives and goals of the present study.

This study rigorously investigates the interdependencies among a suite of crushed stone aggregate characteristics to enhance material selection for infrastructure projects. Utilizing data from Colas Északkő Ltd. (andesite quarries), the authors explore the relationships between mechanical and geometrical properties, particularly focusing on the interplay between the flakiness index, shape index, Los Angeles abrasion, Micro-Deval wear, and methylene blue assessments. The presented analysis reveals an unexpectedly robust correlation between FI and SI, proposing a novel paradigm for evaluating grain shape. Notably, the relationship between Los Angeles abrasion and micro-Deval wear values, typically considered disparate, is re-examined, unveiling potential predictive capabilities for environmental wear, especially as indicated by magnesium sulfate soundness testing. Additionally, the current study delineates a significant correlation between methylene blue values and micro-Deval wear performance, highlighting the intrinsic mineralogical influences on aggregate durability. The implications of findings are twofold: they suggest a streamlined approach for aggregate quality assurance and offer strategic insights into the refinement of material selection processes, thereby promising to enhance the durability and service life of transportation infrastructure.
CO2 sensitivity studies under laboratory and outdoor conditions as contribution to climate change discussions
Authors: Hammel Ernst , Marvan Matthias , Marvan Christoph , Steiner Martin
Published: May 2024

The EU considers climate change as an existential threat and wants to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 and down to 0% by 2050 within the "EU Green Deal" and economic growth should be decoupled from the use of energy resources. It therefore sees fighting climate change as one of the most important targets1. There is considerable dis-consensus about growing CO2 levels in terms of temperature increase and their implications on living conditions. While the IPCC and the EU are predicting strong and negative effects some experts2,3 have shown that there are considerable flaws in the basic models, data and impact scenarios. With a low cost experimental setup we measured the IR backradiation from varying CO2 levels within a given N2 atmosphere. The results confirm previous findings about an infrared CO2 saturation within the earth atmosphere. Measurements were also performed studying potential thermal forcing of additional CO2 against clear night skies. These results and their interpretation should be seen as another contribution to the general discussion about correct climate measures to be taken
The Development of Cardinal Extension: From Counting to Exact Equality
Authors: Le Khuyen Nha , Schneider Rose M. , Barner David
Published: May 2024

Numerate adults know that when two sets are equal they should be labeled by the same number word. We explored the development of this principle - sometimes called ``cardinal extension'' - and how it relates to children's other numerical abilities. Experiment 1 revealed that 2- to 5-year-old children who could accurately count large sets often inferred that two equal sets should be labeled with the same number word, unlike children who could not accurately count large sets. However, not all counters made this inference, suggesting that learning to construct and label large sets may be a necessary but not sufficient step in learning how numbers represent exact quantities. Experiment 2 found that children who extended labels to equal sets were not actually sensitive to exact equality, and that they also assigned two sets the same label when they were approximately equal, but differed by just 1 item (violating one-to-one correspondence). These results suggest a gradual, stage-like, process in which children learn to accurately count, learn to extend labels to perceptually similar sets, and then eventually restrict cardinal extension to sets that are exactly equal.
Null effect of perceived drum pattern complexity on the experience of groove
Authors: Senn Olivier , Hoesl Florian , Bechtold Toni Amadeus , Kilchenmann Lorenz , Jerjen Rafael , Witek Maria
Published: May 2024

There is a broad consensus in groove research that the experience of groove, understood as a pleasurable urge to move in response to music, is related to the complexity of the rhythm. Specifically, music with medium rhythmic complexity has been found to motivate greater urge to move compared to low or high complexity music (inverted-U hypothesis). Previous studies used degrees of syncopation in music as a measure of complexity, where rhythms with more and/or stronger syncopations are considered to be more complex than rhythms with less/weaker syncopations. This study is the first to attempt the verification of the inverted-U hypothesis using forty idiomatic popular music drum pattern stimuli that are associated with perceptual complexity measures obtained in a previous study. In a listening experiment with n=179 participants, the inverted-U hypothesis could not be confirmed as complexity did not have any significant effect on listeners’ urge to move (p=.834). Results are discussed in the context of the psychological model of musical groove, which shows that more complex stimuli are heard as less regular (which negatively affects the urge to move), and as more interesting (which positively affects the urge to move). These findings show that competent drummers are capable of producing equally danceable drum patterns regardless of complexity, at least in a range of complexity that is idiomatic for this repertoire. Results also suggest that the temporal regularity of simple patterns enhances their danceability, while complex patterns invite body movement because they are more interesting for the listener.

When a replication fails, scientists have to decide whether to make a second attempt or move on.Psychology researchers who attempt to replicate studies often face this decision, given the empiricalrate of replication success in psychology, which is lower than desired. Here, we report 17 re-replicationsof experiments for which an original replication had failed. In 5/17 of these “rescue” projects (29%),the “rescue” study mostly or fully replicated the original results, albeit with a smaller effect size;in the other 12, the second replication was also judged to have failed. We speculate that successfulrescue projects were due to larger sample sizes or methodological changes such as attention checks.

The aim of the study was to assess the ecological adaptability of Miscanthus cv. Soranovsky to saline agricultural landscapes and the phytomeliorative effect of the plant on saline soils. Location and time of the study. The field experimental part of the research was carried out in 2018-2020 in the central forest-steppe in the Barabinsky agrolandscape region (Experimental Research Station of the Siberian Federal Center for Agrobiotechnologies). Methods. The common methods of field and vegetation experiments, chemical analysis of soils and plant samples were used in the study. Results. Miscanthus can grow on solonetzic soils, providing a biomass yield of up to 5 t/ha under dry growing season conditions. The removal of nutrients from the soil by the biomass of Miscanthus stems was found to be low (8.2 kg/ha of nitrogen, 1.4 kg/ha of phosphorus and 9.7 kg/ha of potassium per year) due to their annual reutilization into rhizomes. This fact allow to avoid the danger of soil depletion during long-term cultivation of crops. Growing Miscanthus on meadow-chernozem solonetz for an average of three years led to changes in soil properties such as a decrease in pH, and changes in salts chemistry in the soil solution, manifested as a decrease in sodium bicarbonate content. Conclusions. Miscanthus as a crop has wide adaptation capabilities in relation to the marginal lands of the solonetz zone of West Siberia. Miscanthus plantings have a beneficial environment-forming effect on solonetz soils, due to the enrichment of soils with mineral nutrition elements and improvement of soil chemical properties.

Upwelling events that occur in the Halmahera Sea are influenced by the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Upwelling can cause sea surface temperatures to be lower than normal, affecting the potential of fishery resources in the region. The purpose of this study was to determine the conditions of sea surface temperature, chlorophyll-a content, salinity, and upwelling conditions when viewed from the parameters of chlorophyll-α content and sea surface temperature when El Nino was strong, El Nino was weak, La Nina was strong, and La Nina weak and in normal conditions in the Halmahera Sea region. The data used in this study include the Oceanic Nino Index, sea surface temperature, salinity, and chlorophyll-α content during the 2010–2019 period. A quantitative descriptive research type is used by filtering ENSO data to determine when ENSO occurred, then visualizing the data in each parameter and analyzing it. The results of this study show that upwelling is known to occur in the northern to western parts of the Halmahera Sea. When the El Nino phase is vital, the upwelling parameter changes, the sea surface temperature decreases to 27.1⁰C, the chlorophyll-α content increases to 0.70 mg/m3 compared to the normal phase, and the upwelling intensity changes

Detection of antibiotic resistance genes in food-associated bacteria
Authors: Dellaglio F. , Rizzotti L.
Published: May 2024

The increasing prevalence of acquired antibiotic resistance (AR) in bacteria constitutes a growing concern, especially in the last decades. Resistant pathogenic bacteria can lead to serious implications for the treatment of infectious diseases but the occurrence of AR determinants in commensal and environmental bacteria is important too, as these microorganisms represent a reservoir of AR genes that can be transferred to pathogens. A large number of studies has observed an ever increasing level of AR in food-related bacteria, such as enterococci, staphylococci and lactic acid bacteria. Consequently, food is considered an efficient vehicle for the diffusion of antibiotic resistances. Detection of AR in bacteria is required both to monitor the spread of resistant organisms and for determine the optimal antimicrobial therapy for clinical isolates. For these purposes, conventional phenotypic tests and/or more advanced nucleic acid-based methods can be applied. The technique to be used depends on the information that are required and on the targets under consideration.
