Authors: Fadhila Rizki , Abd. Madjid M. Shabri , Aliasuddin Aliasuddin
Published: June 2024

This paper explores the intricate relationship between economic growth, population growth, and urbanization on Indonesia's ecological footprint from 1961 to 2022. Using the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), our econometric analysis has identified the causal path. The results of the Granger Causality Tests indicate a causal relationship from the ecological footprint variable to the economic growth variable, the population growth variable to the ecological footprint variable, and urbanization to economic growth and population growth. In the long run, economic growth has a positive and significant impact on the ecological footprint. In the short run, economic growth, population growth, and urbanization all significantly affect the ecological footprint, highlighting the need for immediate action to address these issues.
Kastamonu’da Âzatlı Terekelerine Dair Gözlemler (1760-1869)
Authors: Açıkgöz Kaan Ramazan
Published: June 2024

Osmanlı Devleti’nde kölelik sistemi, kuruluştan 19. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında başlayan reform ve yasaklamalarla birlikte azalarak da olsa devletin sonuna kadar varlığını devam ettirmiştir. Genel olarak İslâm hukuku çerçevesinde yürütülen bu sistemin sosyoekonomik bağlamdaki uygulanışı, kadı mahkemelerinde görülen satış, mükâtebe veya âzat etme gibi çeşitli kayıtlar vasıtasıyla izlenebilmektedir. Bu kayıtlardan biri de terekelerdir. Özellikle Osmanlı toplumunun sosyoekonomik ve maddî kültür evreni hakkında çok yönlü araştırmalara kapı aralayan tereke kayıtları, kölelik çalışmaları özelinde de zengin veri setleri sağlamaktadır. Bu noktada köleler, terekelerde mirasın bir unsuru olarak; âzatlı ise miras bırakan “mûris” olarak veya alacak borç ilişkilerinde ticarî rollerle karşımıza çıkmaktadır.
Bu çalışma, 1760 ile 1869 yıllarını kapsayan Kastamonu Şer’iyye Sicilleri’nde bizâtihi miras bırakan âzatlıların ve onların neslinin tereke kayıtlarına odaklanmaktadır. Bununla birlikte içinde bulunulan toplumla kıyas noktaları belirleme açısından farklı tereke kayıtları da kullanılmıştır. Kayıtlar sosyoekonomik, demografik ve maddî kültür açılarından incelenmiştir. Tereke sahiplerinin âzatlı olmalarından dolayı ortaya çıkan velâ bağı da ayrıca değerlendirilmiştir. Buradan hareketle onların toplum nazarında kabul edilme düzeyleri, farklılaşmaları veya uyumları sorgulanmıştır.

Authors: Gündüz Hande
Published: June 2024

İlk başlarda Lehistan’ın sınır güvenliğini sağlayan Zaporog Kozakları, XVI. asrın ikinci yarısında hem boyarların (asillerin) hem de Katoliklerin baskıları sonucunda “Vahşi Bozkır” olarak adlandırılan topraklara göç ederek burada Dmitro Vışnevetskıy öncülüğünde bağımsız bir devlet kurmuşlardır. Tarihsel süreçte daha çok Ukrayna Kozak Hetmanlığı ismiyle tanınan bu devlet iki yüz on iki yıl boyunca varlığını korumuştur. Seçimle yönetime gelen hetmanların idaresi altındaki Zaporog Kozaklarının, kendilerine has şaykalarıyla belirli aralıklar dâhilinde Kırım ile Anadolu kıyılarına düzenledikleri saldırılar (akınlar) ise uzun bir müddet Kırım hanlarıyla Osmanlı sultanlarını uğraştırmıştır. Öyle ki bu sınır tecavüzlerinde en fazla zararı Azak, Kerç, Kefe, Akkirman, Trabzon, Sinop ile İstanbul görmüştür. Bu çalışmada öncelikle Kozak-Kazak adının tahlili yapılarak, Kozak grupları hakkında kısa bir bilgi verilmiş ve en sonunda Zaporog Kozakları ile onların Kırım ile Anadolu’ya tertip ettikleri saldırılar ele alınmıştır.

Hybrid Attention-Enhanced Deep Learning for Accurate Hourly Energy Consumption Forecasting
Authors: Abdullah Walid , Elmasry Ahmed , Tolba Ahmed
Published: June 2024

Accurate forecasting of hourly energy consumption is essential for optimizing energy distribution, ensuring grid stability, and informing policy decisions. In this study, we propose a novel hybrid deep learning model that integrates attention mechanisms with long short-term memory for forecasting hourly electricity consumption. The model is trained and tested using a PJME_MW dataset, spanning from December 31, 2002, to January 2, 2018. The model was evaluated using a set of evaluation metrics R-squared score, Mean Squared Error (MSE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD), and Mean Absolute Error (MAE). The models are compared with established deep learning architectures such as ResNet, TCN, LSTM, RNN, and Attention CNN. The Comparative analysis demonstrates superior forecasting performance. The results showed that the proposed model outperformed all other models, it achieved the best accuracy with RMS, MAE, and R2 Score of 0.012, 0.007, and 0.992 respectively, which validates the effectiveness of our approach in enhancing prediction accuracy for energy consumption.

Resignificando Perspectivas Juveniles en la Escuela a través de la Interdisciplinariedad
Authors: Armesto Argüelles Nelsy Jhoanní , Martín Bautista Yessica , Niño Rodríguez Carlos Andrés
Published: June 2024

En el territorio escolar los docentes están enfocados no solo a educar los procesos o propósitos de sus disciplinas, por el contrario, todos los docentes deben trabajar en función de la formación social y el desarrollo humano de cada estudiante. Por ende, desde la escuela se puede transformar el método tradicional de aprendizaje individual, para trabajar proyectos más fructíferos e interdisciplinarios (Torres, 2006), a partir de las necesidades sociales del estudiante todas las áreas pueden hacer parte de este proceso. Es así que se forman sujetos sociales conscientes de la importancia de su territorio, con propuestas fijadas hacia la preservación y el cuidado del medio ambiente; en este sentido el estudiante está aplicando varias herramientas para formarse como un ser social con altas capacidades comunicativas (Lomas, C., Osoro, A. y Tusón, A. (1997).), de conciencia ambiental y sostenibilidad (Velásquez,2009; Sauvé, 1999; Leff, 1998), reconocimiento de su entorno geográfico para afianzar así los valores culturales que este ha formado no solo en la escuela sino en otras instituciones sociales (Perea, 2008; Muñoz, 2007; Useche, 2009). Es por ello, que la escuela juega un papel importante como guía y mediador, con procesos interdisciplinares que se encuentran en las Humanidades, las Ciencias Naturales y las Ciencias Sociales; de tal manera que el educando reciba herramientas que a su paso fortalecen sus conocimientos, para  hacer uso de sus experiencias con el fin de reconocer, analizar, comprender, criticar y proponer nuevas o mejores alternativas para generar un valor hacia su contexto o territorios próximos, reflejando los valores de su cultura y entorno a través de las relaciones sociales que este genera entre el sujeto, la naturaleza y su espacio habitable.

Authors: Amirnejad Ghanbar
Published: June 2024

In today's data-driven world, the deployment of predictive analytics in decision-making processes is not just a technological advancement but a critical strategic asset. This discussion explores whether employing predictive analytics to enhance decision-making accuracy is a necessity or merely a choice for contemporary organizations. In considering whether employing predictive analytics is a necessity or a choice, one must acknowledge the competitive edge and enhanced accuracy it provides to decision-making processes across industries. While organizations may opt to rely on traditional decision-making processes, the ability to analyze vast datasets and predict future trends offers a decisive advantage that is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Therefore, for organizations aiming to remain competitive and effective in their decision-making, the integration of predictive analytics is less a choice and more a necessity. Predictive analytics is not merely a tool but a strategic imperative that, when correctly implemented, can significantly enhance decision-making accuracy and efficiency. As data continues to grow in volume and complexity, the necessity of predictive analytics will only become more pronounced, shaping it as an essential element of modern organizational decision-making frameworks.

Published: June 2024

Background: Physical activity has been shown to have anxiolytic effects, improve sleep quality, and enhance overall student mental health. Despite these benefits, medical students often have limited time for physical activity due to demanding academic schedules and clinical rotations.
Objective: To examine the relationship between physical activity, sleep disturbance, and anxiety among medical students in Sahiwal.
Methods: This observational study was conducted over six months among medical students in Sahiwal. A simple random sample of 280 university students, aged 19-25 years and from the 3rd to 5th years of study, was selected. Participants completed three standardized questionnaires: the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) to assess physical activity, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to evaluate sleep quality, and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) to measure anxiety levels. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, with descriptive statistics summarizing demographic data and key variables. The Chi-square test of association was used to determine the relationships between physical activity levels (IPAQ scores), sleep quality (PSQI scores), and anxiety levels (GAD-7 scores), with a significance level set at p < 0.05.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 22.24 ± 1.285 years. Among the 280 students, 207 (73.9%) were females and 73 (26.1%) were males. Anxiety levels were as follows: 39 (13.9%) had mild anxiety, 124 (44.3%) had moderate anxiety, 76 (27.1%) had moderately severe anxiety, and 41 (14.6%) had severe anxiety. Physical activity levels were: 144 (51.4%) had low physical activity, 79 (28.2%) had moderate physical activity, and 57 (20.4%) had high physical activity. A significant association was found between GAD-7 and IPAQ levels (Chi-square value = 60.691, p = 0.031). No significant association was found between PSQI and IPAQ levels (Chi-square value = 22.162, p = 0.680).
Conclusion: This study highlights the significant relationship between physical activity and anxiety among medical students, suggesting that regular physical activity is associated with reduced anxiety symptoms. However, no significant relationship was observed between physical activity and sleep quality.

Authors: Saeed Ramisha , Fuad Maleeha , Sadiq Samreen , Rizwan Shazia , Asim Hafiz Muhammad , Bashir Hashmi Ayesha
Published: June 2024

Background: Breastfeeding is the natural process of infant feeding on milk produced by mothers. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months and continued breastfeeding until at least 24 months to support optimal growth. A mother’s belief in her ability to breastfeed, known as breastfeeding self-efficacy, significantly impacts her breastfeeding experience and success.
Objective: To determine the level of breastfeeding self-efficacy among primiparous mothers in Lahore.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted over six months, from June 2023 to December 2023, in various hospital settings. Data were collected from 150 primiparous mothers selected through nonprobability convenient sampling. Inclusion criteria were primiparous mothers aged 20 to 35 years who had been breastfeeding for at least three months. Exclusion criteria included mothers with a history of cancer or hepatitis and those unable to provide informed consent. The Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF) was used to collect data, which was then entered and analyzed using SPSS version 25. BSES-SF is a 14-item self-administered questionnaire with a 5-point rating scale, where a score of 1 indicates “no confidence at all” and a score of 5 represents “very confident.” Total scores range from 14 to 70, with higher scores reflecting higher self-efficacy. Scores were categorized into low (14-33), medium (33-53), and high (53-70) self-efficacy.
Results: Out of 150 primiparous mothers, 4 (2.7%) had low breastfeeding self-efficacy, 93 (62.0%) had medium self-efficacy, and 53 (35.3%) had high self-efficacy. The age of participants ranged from 20 to 34 years, with a mean age of 25.02 years (SD = 3.18). Education levels were 42.2% intermediate, 32.7% undergraduate, and 24.7% postgraduate. Employment status showed 27.0% employed and 73.0% unemployed.
Conclusion: The majority of primiparous mothers reported a moderate level of breastfeeding self-efficacy. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to enhance breastfeeding confidence among new mothers.

Background: Cholelithiasis, the formation of gallstones in the gallbladder, is prevalent among individuals experiencing abdominal discomfort such as epigastric pain, nausea, and loss of appetite. The relationship between diabetes and the increased risk of developing gallstones has been noted, highlighting the importance of understanding this association for better disease management.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of gallstones in diabetic patients in the district of Swabi using ultrasonography to enhance early diagnosis and treatment approaches.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Radiology, District Head Quarters Hospital, Swabi, Pakistan. Participants included individuals presenting with upper right quadrant pain or with a history of diabetes. Ultrasonographic examinations were performed using a Toshiba Xeiro convex probe with a frequency range of 3-5 MHz. Data was collected through clinical histories and radiographic examinations, and analyzed using SPSS version 25. Ethics approval was obtained in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, and all participants provided informed consent.
Results: A total of 112 patients were enrolled with ages ranging from 8 to 80 years (mean ± SD = 39.37 ± 16.72 years). Females constituted 56.4% (n=62) and males 43.6% (n=48) of the study population. The majority, 88.2% (n=97), reported right hypochondriac pain. Among the patients, 60% (n=66) had multiple gallstones; of these, 36.4% (n=24) were diabetic. Conversely, 40% (n=44) had a single stone, with 38.6% (n=17) being diabetic.
Conclusion: The study indicates a significant association between diabetes and the presence of multiple gallstones, underscoring the need for routine ultrasonographic screening in diabetic patients experiencing right hypochondriac pain. Early detection could lead to better management and potentially reduce complications associated with cholelithiasis.

Published: June 2024

Background: As environmental changes accelerate, psychological impacts such as ecological grief and eco-anxiety become more pronounced. This study focuses on the validation and enhancement of the Solastalgia Scale, originally a unidimensional measure, to assess these complex psychological responses more effectively.
Objective: To expand and validate the Solastalgia Scale into a three-dimensional tool encompassing ecological grief, environmental identity, and eco-anxiety, addressing gaps in current research methodologies.
Methods: Our methodology involved two main phases: exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Initially, exploratory factor analysis was conducted on a purposive sample of 317 participants from Punjab (125 men, 192 women), using Principal Component Analysis, scree plots, and eigenvalues to extract 13 items across three factors. This was followed by confirmatory factor analysis on a new sample of 319 participants (141 men, 178 women) to validate the scale's three-dimensional structure and ascertain model fit indices.
Results: The exploratory factor analysis identified three distinct factors, resulting in a 13-item scale. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the three-dimensional structure with excellent fit indices (CFI = 0.95, TLI = 0.93, RMSEA = 0.05, SRMR = 0.04). This multi-dimensional approach contrasts with previous research that employed a single-dimensional focus.
Conclusion: The revised Solastalgia Scale is a robust tool for assessing the psychological impact of environmental change across multiple dimensions. This scale is instrumental for researchers and practitioners in understanding and mitigating the psychological effects of ecological grief, enhancing resilience and well-being in the face of environmental disruptions.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by synovial inflammation, joint destruction, and significant disability. Psychological factors, particularly depression and anxiety, are prevalent among RA patients and can impact disease management and treatment adherence. Understanding the relationship between disease activity, treatment compliance, and mental health is essential for comprehensive RA management.
Objective: To investigate the correlation between Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28) and treatment compliance with levels of depression and anxiety in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, Sheikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore, over six months. A total of 130 RA patients were enrolled using non-probability convenience sampling. Inclusion criteria were adults aged 18 years and above, diagnosed with RA based on ACR/EULAR criteria, and compliant with medication for at least three months prior to the study. Exclusion criteria included other autoimmune diseases, significant concurrent medical conditions, history of substance abuse, and recent initiation of biologic treatments. Data collection involved demographic details, RA onset and duration, and assessments of depression and anxiety using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) scales, respectively. RA disease activity was measured using DAS28, and systemic inflammation markers (ESR and CRP) were recorded. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 25.0, employing descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression analysis to determine the relationships between variables.
Results: The study included 59 males (45.4%) and 71 females (54.6%), with a mean age of 49.69 years (SD = 18.82). The mean duration of RA diagnosis was 14.07 years (SD = 8.69). Higher PHQ-9 scores were associated with lower treatment adherence (B = -1.264, p < 0.001), and higher GAD-7 scores also negatively impacted adherence (B = 0.870, p < 0.01). The regression model explained 40.3% of the variance in treatment adherence (R² = 0.403, F(7, 122) = 11.779, p < 0.001). Weak negative correlations were observed between DAS28 ESR and treatment adherence (r = -0.150), indicating that higher disease activity slightly reduced adherence.
Conclusion: The study highlighted the significant role of mental health in the management of RA. Depression and anxiety were found to be major barriers to treatment adherence, underscoring the need for integrating psychological care into RA management. Addressing mental health issues could enhance treatment adherence and improve overall disease outcomes.

Background: Low birth weight (LBW) is a major global public health problem and a leading cause of neonatal mortality, as well as a significant risk factor for infant and under-five morbidity and mortality.
Objective: The study aimed to determine the association between maternal lifestyle factors and low birth weight, and to investigate the relationship between maternal hemoglobin levels and LBW infants.
Methods: A total of 518 samples were included in the study, comprising 259 cases and 259 controls. Data were collected using a standard questionnaire administered through interviews and medical record reviews. The questionnaire covered maternal lifestyle factors and hemoglobin levels. Logistic regression was employed to analyze the associations between maternal lifestyle risk factors, hemoglobin levels, and low birth weight. Descriptive statistics were calculated for each variable, and statistical relationships were assessed using IBM SPSS version 25, with a significance level set at 0.05.
Results: The study found that maternal hemoglobin levels (OR=0.742, 95% CI: 0.644-0.855, p<0.001) and gestational age (OR=0.776, 95% CI: 0.696-0.866, p<0.001) were inversely associated with low birth weight. Conversely, previous pregnancies (OR=5.043, 95% CI: 2.004-12.689, p=0.001 for one previous pregnancy), low maternal income (OR=7.156, 95% CI: 2.369-21.617, p<0.001), specific occupations (OR=2.354, 95% CI: 1.416-3.914, p=0.001), and being underweight (OR=26.829, p<0.001) were positively associated with low birth weight.
Conclusion: These findings emphasize the importance of considering various socio-economic and health factors in the prevention and management of low birth weight, with a particular focus on maternal occupational status, income, previous pregnancies, gestational age, pregnancy complications, and maternal hemoglobin levels.

Background: Nursing teamwork is fundamental for delivering high-quality patient care. Successful teamwork includes communication, collaboration, trust, respect, shared decision-making, accountability, and flexibility among healthcare professionals.
Objective: The purpose of this concept analysis is to clarify and define the concept of teamwork in nursing, providing nurses with a comprehensive understanding to enhance healthcare delivery.
Methods: This study employed a concept analysis using Walker and Avant’s model (1986) to elucidate the significance, characteristics, antecedents, consequences, and empirical referents of teamwork in nursing. Data collection involved a comprehensive literature review of peer-reviewed journals, books, and authoritative online resources. Data were synthesized to identify core themes and patterns related to defining attributes, antecedents, and consequences of teamwork. The ethical considerations were aligned with the Declaration of Helsinki. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25.0, with descriptive statistics summarizing the defining attributes, antecedents, and consequences. Frequencies and percentages were calculated for categorical variables, while means and standard deviations were used for continuous variables.
Results: The analysis identified seven key attributes of effective nursing teamwork: communication, collaboration, trust, respect, shared decision-making, accountability, and flexibility. Antecedents included clear roles and responsibilities, open communication, mutual trust and respect, shared goals, cultural competence, and adequate resources. Positive consequences included improved patient outcomes (e.g., 20% reduction in hospital stays), enhanced patient satisfaction (increased by 30%), increased efficiency (20% faster service delivery), and improved staff satisfaction (25% decrease in burnout rates). Negative consequences of poor teamwork included poor patient outcomes, reduced patient satisfaction, increased healthcare costs (by 15%), and staff burnout. Empirical referents included teamwork assessment tools, patient outcomes, reduced healthcare costs, reduced medical errors (by 10%), and improved quality of care.
Conclusion: Effective teamwork is integral to nursing practice and significantly impacts patient outcomes, staff satisfaction, and healthcare delivery. Fostering communication, collaboration, and mutual respect among healthcare professionals is essential. Education and training, supportive work environments, patient-centered care, and inter-professional collaboration are critical for enhancing teamwork.

Published: June 2024

Background: Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel discomfort and pain, resulting from inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thickened fibrous aponeurosis extending from the medial calcaneal tuberosity to the metatarsal heads. It affects more than 1 million people worldwide annually, with a lifetime prevalence that may reach 10% of the general population. Despite its widespread impact, the exact incidence remains unknown.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated risk factors of plantar fasciitis among nurses working in government tertiary care hospitals in Peshawar.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted over six months, utilizing a convenient sampling technique. A total of 332 female nurses aged 25 to 50 years with clinical duties exceeding five hours per day participated in the study. Data were collected using the Plantar Fasciitis Pain and Disability Scale and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain intensity. Face-to-face interviews and physical assessments were conducted by trained healthcare professionals. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 25.0, with descriptive statistics calculated for quantitative variables and Chi-Square tests used to examine associations between variables. Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Board, and informed consent was secured from all participants.
Results: The mean age of participants was 29.8042 ± 3.67743 years. The mean total score for plantar fasciitis was 31.4096, and the mean VAS score was 1.9458. Pain occurrence per week was reported as 1-2 days by 44.0% of participants, 3-4 days by 46.7%, and 5-7 days by 9.3%. Pain was most commonly worse in the afternoon (35.8%) and interfered with walking occasionally (52.7%). High heel standing was uncomfortable for 54.5% of participants. A significant relationship was found between age and VAS scores (p=0.001), as well as between high heel usage and increased pain levels (p=0.000).
Conclusion: The mean score of plantar fasciitis among the nurses was below the threshold indicating significant prevalence. However, a significant association was found between high heel usage and plantar fasciitis, suggesting that footwear choices play a critical role in the development of this condition. Ergonomic interventions promoting supportive footwear and regular breaks are recommended to mitigate the risk of plantar fasciitis among nurses.
