Authors: Galih Rakasiwi Putra , Sukardi Thomas , Indra Muhammad , Aldo Jefri
Published: March 2024

The competency of vocational high school students is still said to be lacking in work readiness. This is caused by a lack of encouragement for oneself, family, school facilities, school environment, etc. This research aims to analyze the mediating role of work motivation in determining vocational school students' work readiness. This research uses an ex-post facto quantitative approach with the path analysis method. Research subjects in 3 vocational schools in machining engineering expertise in class XII with a total sample of 193 people. Data collection uses questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. Hypothesis testing in this study used SmartPLS 3 software. The findings show that work competency and industrial work practice experience can influence work motivation. Work motivation can directly influence students' work readiness. Indirectly, work competency affects work motivation through work readiness. Indirectly, industrial work practice experience affects work motivation through work readiness. It was concluded that work motivation plays a role in determining vocational school students' work readiness, especially in class XII machining engineering, followed by work competency and industrial work practice experience. So it is recommended to the vocational school community always to be motivated so that students are ready to work, have sufficient competence and experience, and always pay attention to the 3 things researchers discovered and discussed because vocational schools aim to work, continue, and become self-employed.

Published: March 2024

The study was conducted during April, 2021 to June, 2022 to study the isolation and identification of high effective strains of phosphate solubilizing bacteria and evaluation the ability to solubilize tricalcium phosphate in vitro. Microorganisms that live in soil are actively involved in the carbon, nitrogen, sulphur, and phosphorus cycles in nature, enabling them to maintain ecological balance. Phosphate-solubilizing microbes are used as agricultural biofertilizers and play an essential role in plant nutrition by enhancing phosphate uptake. Phosphate is one of the most important macronutrients necessary for the growth and development of plants. Numerous microorganisms present in the rhizosphere solubilize insoluble phosphorus, making it readily available to plants. Fourteen phosphate-solubilizing bacterial colonies were identified on Pikovskaya’s agar medium, containing insoluble tricalcium phosphate (TCP) from rhizospheric soil. Among them, eight colonies showing clear halo zones around the microbial growth were considered as phosphate-solubilizing. All isolates showing the highest phosphate solubilization index (PSI), ranging from 2.8 to 4.03, were selected for further qualitative and quantitative studies. Out of these eight potent isolates, two strains showed the maximum PSI: V7 (4.03) and V8 (3.85) in agar plates, along with a high production of soluble phosphate, measuring 448.03 and 441.43 mg l-1, and a greater reduction in pH in the broth culture. The morphological, biochemical, and molecular identification of V7 and V8 strains revealed them to belong the Acinetobacter and Paenibacillus genera, respectively, and were phylogenetically close to Acinetobacter baumannii and Paenibacillus lautus species.
Total and partial observation–detection in linear dynamical systems with characterized sources: finite-dimensional cases
Authors:   Abdelmalek Essaadi University, Danine M. E.
Published: March 2024

In this work, we address the partial observation–detection problem for finite-dimensional dynamical linear systems that may not be fully observable or detectable. We introduce the concepts of `observation–detection' and `partial observation–detection,' which involve reconstructing either the entirety or a portion of the system state and the source reacting on the system, even when the system is not fully observable or detectable. We provide characterizations of `observable–detectable systems' and `observable–detectable spaces.' The reconstruction of the state and source on the observable–detectable subspace is achieved through orthogonal projection, leveraging the algebraic structure of the given finite-dimensional system. Additionally, we present examples to illustrate our approach.

This study addresses a fluid–structure interaction problem that models flow in a channel. Simulations were conducted to investigate the method's effectiveness when applied to real obstacle scenarios, where the obstacle is explicitly represented within the channel. To tackle the Navier–Stokes equations, we utilized the spectral–Fourier–asymptotic approach, which is a mesh-free method that combines Chebyshev polynomials and Fourier series with the asymptotic method based on power series.

The storage of large amounts of digital data, as well as the processing of digital images, are currently expanding significantly across a range of application areas. As a result, effective management of big images databases is necessary, which calls for the employment of automated and cutting-edge indexing techniques. One method used for this is Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR), which tries to index and query the picture database using visual aspects of the image rather than its semantic features. In this article, we propose to explore a digital search engine for similar images, based on multiple image representations and clustering, improved by game theory and machine learning methods.

Authors: Mohammed Sabah Shareef , Shabu Sherzad Abdulahad
Published: March 2024

The prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased dramatically during the last three decades. It is estimated that 170 million youngsters (under the age of 18) worldwide are overweight. Obesity is commonly regarded as one of the most significant public health problems of the early 21st century due to its rapid rise and severe public health consequences. According to previous research, the prevalence rate of obesity and overweight increased in Erbil. This study aims to determine the prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity rates in Erbil. This study was a household survey based on a cross-sectional study that was conducted, and a multi-stage sampling strategy was used to choose the study sample. A questionnaire was conducted to collect the data, SPSS was used for analysing the data, and Chi-square (X²), was used to identify any kind of association between different variables in the study, whereas the p-value was considered (0.05). Regarding ethical approval, the study was conducted under the guidelines of the ethical approval research committee in the College of Medicine. In this research, the prevalence rate of obesity and overweight was 30.4%, 7.7% of them were obese, and 22.7% were overweight. The obesity rates between males and females were not different. Lifestyle and habit had an impact on increasing weight gain, though the number of meals, outside eating, fast foods, and snacks between meals were statistically not significant. However, eating without hunger was significant the p-value was (0.008). On the other hand, the children's habit of using electronic devices, smartphones, and other devices was significant, either using their mobile phone or their parent's phone. In conclusion, in Erbil city, the prevalence rate of obesity and overweight was dramatically increased, as well as the lifestyle factor that contributed to the development of these conditions, especially among those children exposed to multi-screen devices. According to these results, families have to improve their lifestyles and decrease the use of electrical devices by children.
Bioethical approach to estimation of pharmacoepidemiological and pharmacoeconomic aspects of psoriasis treatment
Authors: Samarina EI , Lileeva EG , Rybachkova JV
Published: March 2024

Bioethical approach to determine the feasibility of using medicines involves systemic analysis of pharmacoepidemiological and pharmacoeconomic aspects of treatment, especially while treating the most common and chronic diseases. Psoriasis is the most common disease of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, accounting for 15% of cases. The rate of psoriatic complications constitutes 6–42%. Skin lesions, psoriatic arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, inflammatory intestinal diseases, mental disorders and malignant lesions produce a great effect on health, duration and quality of life, and result in early loss of labor capacity and disability of patients. So, it is important to study effectiveness and safety of systemic medicines in patients with severe and moderate-to-severe disease and perform subsequent analysis of possible use and comparison of the effectiveness of various combinations. Most affordable but ineffective medicines commonly cause real growth of further expenses on treatment, and postpone administration of more effective, though much more expensive medicines. Economic aspects of rational use of healthcare resources are becoming increasingly important whereas pharmacoeconomic values are crucial while selecting a treatment strategy.
Black Feminism as a Literary Tradition
Authors: Shrivastava Dr. Ku. Richa
Published: March 2024

The research paper posits to detail the black literary tradition.When the American art is viewed as a whole, the contribution of blacks is found in a miniature fraction, if we exclude their folk tradition of melody and dances. Merely, three generations have been passed of blacks’ early years. The black literary tradition has immediately passed its immaturity. At first, the silent era subsequent to slavery has existed. Folk tales and music inform readers about these black writers and artists who have lived and died. African - American literature has propagated the fact that blacks have been repressed. They resisted against relentless repression. After reconstruction period black lips became verbal. This new black man took two to three generations to expand his inspirations and contemplations to correspond to his own sentiments. Those black male authors have no evidence to converse for blacks who took three quarters of a century (75 years) to visible them in a literary tradition.

     Black women voices have been suppressed in context of black women’s literature and black cultural tradition. African - American women have been excluded from western writings in historical period. Both African American men and White men have denied African - American women a platform in literary tradition. Reading text has influenced African - American women to raise voice against racism. The institutional practices of racism by white patriarchal power structure have rebuffed to acknowledge black women historically. The racism and gender oppression practiced against black women persuaded them to write with reference to the perspectives of black women. After 1960’s, the black writings flourished. In Reading Black Reading Feminist a Critical Anthology (1990) edited by Henry Louis Gates, states expression of Anna Julia Cooper. She lays emphasis on recognition of black women literary tradition was in need to claim authority. Since 1970, with the publication of literary artifacts of African tradition, black women have come in the vanguard of African - American literary tradition. Several Black women writers works are studied and intertwined into a literary tradition like, Anna Julia Cooper, Zora Neale Hurston, Barbara Christian, Alice Walker, Patricia Hills Collins, Bell Hooks and Angela Y. Davis. Social animosities have been made between black women and black men with black women’s success of literary tradition and black men sexism towards them.

Apropiaciones, supervivencias y memoria cultural en la cerámica de Picasso
Authors: Theil Harald
Published: March 2024

Este texto explora y analiza cómo Picasso consiguió activar la memoria cultural en su diálogo con el público. Mediante su arte, el artista actualiza los significados que han cargado el imaginario humano desde la Antigüedad. El estudio de las cerámicas figurativas, constituidas por volúmenes en los que la memoria de la función del objeto permanece inscrita, muestra la manera en la que Picasso alcanza a unir las artes prehistóricas, antiguas y extra-europeas con el arte tradicional popular mediterráneo. Apropiaciones de todas las clases, supervivencias de la Antigüedad, alusiones a las culturas vernaculares, así como sensibilidad y empatía para las culturas no-occidentales, juegan un papel determinante. Picasso ancla sus creaciones cerámicas en la memoria colectiva, activando las imágenes que están ahí almacenadas, mediante la renovación y a través de la transposición al arte moderno de un repertorio antiguo con un alcance universal. Así, crea una interacción entre lo que el observador ve, lo que imagina y aquello que recuerda.
primeras películas de los Lumière y el cubismo de Pablo Picasso
Authors: Franco Carrión Laura
Published: March 2024

En la investigación que se presenta a continuación, se analizan diversas conexiones halladas entre las primeras películas de los Hermanos Lumière y el movimiento cubista, tomando en este caso como objeto de estudio, específicamente el cubismo de Pablo Picasso , así como aquellos filmes de los Lumière considerados como los primeros documentales de la Historia del cine, fundadores del cine que a partir de entonces comenzó a denominarse como “realista”. Mediante este trabajo, intentaremos poner de manifiesto que existen diversos puntos en común entre el primer cine y el cubismo, examinando concretamente determinados vínculos encontrados entre las primeras películas de los Lumière y el cubismo de Pablo Picasso. Para ello, nos centraremos en investigar los conceptos comunes en ambos campos de realismo, tiempo y movimiento, tomando como referencia las apreciaciones que, sobre estos tres aspectos concretos, realizan autores como Román Gubern, John Golding, Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler o Standish D. Lawder, entre otros. En primer término, resaltaremos la importancia del carácter realista del cubismo, realismo también palpable y definitorio en las películas de los Hermanos Lumière y en segundo lugar, analizaremos la incorporación revolucionaria de los conceptos de tiempo y movimiento en el cubismo de Pablo Picasso, agentes igualmente esenciales y transformadores en el cine que crearon los Lumière. Mediante todos estos aspectos, por una parte, intentaremos demostrar que el concepto de realismo podría constituirse como una importante conexión a tener en cuenta entre las primeras películas de los Lumière y el cubismo de Pablo Picasso y por otro lado, trataremos de evidenciar que los conceptos de tiempo y de movimiento se situaron en el primer cine y también en el cubismo, como dos elementos decisivos para el desarrollo de ambas manifestaciones artísticas, capaces de provocar un impacto nunca antes experimentado en sus primeros espectadores.
The Heritage Dimension of Industrial Landscape. Methodological Keys for Its Analysis and Identification
Authors: Dorado María Isabel Alba , da Silva Milena Meira
Published: March 2024

The epistemological debate regarding the new industrial heritage paradigm from the landscape perspective has generated a number of uncertainties as well as new questions and challenges that need to be addressed, not only from a conceptual viewpoint but also via the definition of methodological approaches that facilitate the implementation in the territory in question of some of its axioms as an initial, unavoidable step towards the identification and characterisation of these landscapes. The purpose of this article is to develop a conceptual and methodological approach to the industrial landscape based on its heritage dimension. On a conceptual level, the article explores the study of these landscapes, addressing their heritage dimension and offering a synthesis of existent theories in this field with those practical instruments, regulations, recommendations, etc., that recognise their heritage value. On a methodological level, the article advances in the design of methodological keys for the analysis and identification of these landscapes by focusing on their specific nature and heritage dimension, a step that constitutes a priority task in terms of the enhancement and integrated management of the same in a manner that supports their protection and administration on the basis of heritage and cultural considerations.
Democracy and digital disintegration: Platforms, actors, citizens
Authors: Widholm Andreas , Ekman Mattias
Published: March 2024

The digital transformations of contemporary media systems have had severe consequences for democracy and public debates. This introductory article addresses key challenges of what we refer to as varieties of “digital disintegration” within democratic societies. The eight contributions in the special issue are thematised in three parts. The first part explores disintegration within the context of political communication during elections, including data-driven campaigning, populism, and politicised forms of news production. The second part delves into the role of alternative news curators, audience polarisation, and issues of self-censorship in digital information environments. The third part centres on deliberative norms connected to content moderation of user comments within legacy media and the consequences digitalisation has had on journalistic sourcing practices and source diversity over time. The contributions offer valuable empirical insights, as well as new lines of thinking concerning democracy and digital and disintegrative transformations in the Nordic region and beyond.
Political communication as television news: Party-produced news of the Sweden Democrats during the 2022 election campaign
Authors: Ekman Mattias , Widholm Andreas
Published: March 2024

Political communication has taken new and complex forms within the contemporary hybrid media system. In this article, we examine how political campaigning that draws on television news forms utilises the increasingly blurred boundaries between news journalism and politics online. We assess the digital television news channel Riks, which during the 2022 national election was operated by the Sweden Democrats party and distributed via YouTube. Deploying a mixed-methods approach, we analysed all videos published by Riks four weeks prior to the election. Results show that Riks blends descriptive, interpretative, and outrage genres, and strategically frames the most important political issues of the election campaign in favour of the party’s policies. Hence, the study contributes to political communication scholarship by emphasising how news has become an integral part of strategic party communication, challenging established scholarly conceptualisations of alternative media and hyperpartisan news.
Online discussion threads as promotors of citizen democracy: Current opportunities and challenges for small- and medium-sized media organisations in Finland
Authors: Backholm Klas , Ruohonen Heini , Strandberg Kim
Published: March 2024

This article focuses on user-generated discussion threads in journalistic online publication platforms. We investigate how journalists can apply deliberative norms to promote a democratically sustainable discussion within the threads. We also examine which opportunities and challenges journalists currently see with such threads in relation to central citizen democracy principles such as user participation and interactivity. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 18 Finnish news journalists and personnel in charge of moderation strategies. The findings show that deliberative norms are used to some degree in discussion-thread moderation, and that such norms are a key factor to promote democratically sustainable discussions in media organisations. The findings also show that threads can be useful tools for promoting citizen democracy due to their participatory features, but that several current challenges affect this, including uncivil user-generated content, limited representativeness among active users, and lacking resources to handle content in smaller media organisations. One main implication is that journalists see a risk of challenges with discussion threads outweighing benefits for democracy.

Authors: Filausová Drahomíra , Belešová Romana , Trešlová Marie , Červený Martin
Published: March 2024

Aim. The postpartum period is very demanding due to hormonal changes, changing social roles and financial concerns, i.e., factors affecting a woman´s mental health and quality of life. Midwifery care also includes interventions in this area of holistic care. This study aims to identify and describe midwifery interventions focussing on moderating mental disorders by women in the postpartum period.

Methods. A scoping review designed following PRISMA – ScR guidelines in databases Science Direct, Web of Science and PubMed was conducted in 2022.

Results. The analyses of articles identified ten interventions, which were further merged into five categories: Use of measuring scale in women´s care; Support of the mother–child relationship; Education of women, counselling for women; Midwife – support for women; Visit of a midwife in women´s home environment. All interventions, except for the use of measuring scales, use communication skills.

Conclusions. The analysed studies outlined a wide variety of non-pharmacological interventions midwives use to care for women with mental disorders during the postpartum period. Midwives use communication skills, education, support, and encouragement to make women feel safe and secure and thus improve their mental postpartum experience.

Introduction

Accidental hypothermia (AH) presents a significant mortality risk, even in individuals with good health. Early recognition of the parameters associated with negative prognosis could save more lives.

Methods

This was a pilot, retrospective observational study, conducted in the largest Emergency Hospital in North Eastern Romania, which included all patients with AH (defined as body temperature below 35°C), hospitalized and treated in our hospital between 2019 and 2022.

Results

A total of 104 patients with AH were included in our study, 90 of whom had data collected and statistically analyzed. The clinical, biological, and therapeutic parameters associated with negative outcomes were represented by a reduced GCS score (p=0.024), diminished systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p=0.007 respectively, 0.013), decreased bicarbonate (p=0.043) and hemoglobin levels (p=0.002), the presence of coagulation disorders (p=0.007), as well as the need for administration of inotropic or vasopressor medications (p=0.04).

Conclusion

In this pilot, retrospective, observational study, the negative outcomes observed in patients with AH hospitalized in the largest Emergency Hospital in North-Eastern Romania were associated with several clinical, biochemical, and therapeutic factors, which are easy to identify in clinical practice. Recognizing the significance of these associated factors empowers healthcare practitioners to intervene at an early stage to save more lives.

Objetivo:  Construir modelos econométricos para identificar e analisar as variáveis ​​que definem e explicam o ciclo do desmatamento na Amazônia. Teórico referencial:  A floresta é uma das principais fontes de sequestro e armazenamento de carbono da Terra. Logo o desmatamento e queima de florestas tropicais para aumentar o impacto do efeito estufa nas mudanças climáticas, em função das emissões de CO 2 . Resultados e conclusão:  O incremento anual da área de floresta desmatada na Amazônia segue um comportamento polinomial explicado pelas relações de troca entre os preços das áreas desmatadas e ocupadas com lavouras e com pastagens e os preços das terras com floresta nativa. É essa relação de troca que merece a atenção dos formuladores de política para a preservação da floresta via controle do desmatamento. Implicações da pesquisa:  Essa relação de troca pode causar uma reviravolta no ciclo do desmatamento a partir do conhecimento do valor da floresta em pé fato que reverteria a relação de troca e exigiria a adoção de boas práticas sustentáveis ​​nos sistemas de produção agrícola pecuária mineral e florestal. Originalidade/valor:   A causa de maior impacto sobre o desmatamento é o desconhecimento do valor dos ativos naturais e do fluxo de serviços que oferecem à economia e aos seres humanos. Sem este conhecimento, o custo de oportunidade do estoque de terras com florestas na Amazônia, que supera o preço sombra das terras com atividades, pastagens e manejo florestal, estabelecido por agentes econômicos em nível próximo a zero, equivalente a um fator de produção pública em abundância.
