Assessing Statistical Literacy Level of Postgraduate Education Research Students in Malaysian Research Universities
Authors: Et. al. Ibnatul Jalilah Yusof, 
Published: April 2021

Statistical literacy is an essential component of research literacy demanded for the research students to master as they are required to read, comprehend, and evaluate research articles. Misinterpretations of data and research findings are among the unfavorable results in the lack of research literacy. Consequently, it will affect the quality of their research and eventually leads to ripple impact on other researchers. However, this study is still under researched especially among postgraduate research students. Therefore, this paper examined statistical literacy level among postgraduate research students. This study was a survey conducted with a sample of 236 education postgraduate research students by using a set of statistical literacy items. The data were analysed using Rasch Analysis approach which includes item and person measures. Findings suggested that postgraduate students‘ statistical literacy level is at Moderate Low level. The findings also revealed that the hardest items to be answered by the students are related to hypothesis testing (significant value). In order for students to improve their statistical literacy, this study suggested that the instructors and institutions to reexamine and to explore new methods of teaching and learning statistics.
Use of Human Motion Data to Train Wearable Robots
Authors: Et.al JIBUM JUNG 
Published: April 2021

Development of wearable robots is accelerating. Walking robots mimic human behavior and must operate without accidents. Human motion data are needed to train these robots. We developed a system for extracting human motion data and displaying them graphically.We extracted motion data using a Perception Neuron motion capture system and used the Unity engine for the simulation. Several experiments were performed to demonstrate the accuracy of the extracted motion data.Of the various methods used to collect human motion data, markerless motion capture is highly inaccurate, while optical motion capture is very expensive, requiring several high-resolution cameras and a large number of markers. Motion capture using a magnetic field sensor is subject to environmental interference. Therefore, we used an inertial motion capture system. Each movement sequence involved four and was repeated 10 times. The data were stored and standardized. The motions of three individuals were compared to those of a reference person; the similarity exceeded 90% in all cases.
Our rehabilitation robot accurately simulated human movements: individually tailored wearable robots could be designed based on our data. Safe and stable robot operation can be verified in advance via simulation. Walking stability can be increased using walking robots trained via machine learning algorithms.

It is evident from research on economic and social progress that economic growth does not always lead to social progress but, in some cases, leads to increased socio-political tension, social inequality and poverty. Even having increased production of aggregate product on background, the state of the population is deteriorating and economic growth does not provide for a fair distribution of income. A new approach to the concept of economic development began in the global economy in the late XX century. According to these approaches, economic growth cannot be considered as the main purpose and the indicator of development. In addition to economic growth, there are a number of indicators and their mutual relationship promote human development and well-being.
This article examines the correlation between indicators characterizing the welfare of the population and economic growth, comparing the position of Azerbaijan in the accounts of international economic organizations on the relevant indicators. The authors did a comparative analysis with other countries, the impact of human development on people's incomes and the role of education in the wellbeing of the population.
Modern Educational Technologies and National Interests

Published: April 2021

As we know, one of the lifelong learning forms, which is the correspondence education, has received a wide circulation in our country. However, we have recently mentioned that the type of education should be adapted to modern conditions. As a way out from this situation, the article analyzed the specifics of the distance and supplementary education in the world and the stages of development. Mechanisms of application of existing educational technologies in Azerbaijan were studied. In order to achieve the goals mentioned in the article, the relevant legislation of Azerbaijan has been prepared and recommendations for institutional reforms have been prepared. In the context of globalization, the development of new technologies has negative effects, though there are positive effects. The strengthening of globalization leads to the inequality of development among countries, the sharp differences in the living standards of the population, the escalation of language, religion, traditions and, ultimately, the weakening of national state institutions. In this case, the protection and development of the state language is of great importance and special attention should be paid to this problem. At the end of the article, we came to the problem from another aspect, and we believe that if we use the right technologies properly and precisely, it can be achieved through the promotion of mother tongue. Our compatriots living abroad will be able to acquire new knowledge and will not forget and develop their mother tongue with effective use of remote training technologies. Millions of our compatriots living abroad will be able to benefit from these advantages. In order to achieve this, it is important to use the modern IT technologies' innovations as well as the effective use of language teaching methods for language development carried out by linguists.
We believe that there is a relationship between these two factors, and when analyzing lifelong learning issues, there is a need for two aspects. At the end, it should be noted that we have to analyze the problem from different perspectives and make suggestions.
Primary health care for all: lessons from its failure to achieve its goal and COVID-19
Authors: Yusuf Erlangga 
Published: April 2021

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), primary health care (PHC) can be defined as a whole-of-society approach to health and well-being, centered on the needs and preferences of individuals, families and communities. In the last five years, several major events occurred that emphasize the importance of and the need for PHC. First, the publication of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015. One of the SDGs is to achieve universal health care (UHC). UHC means that all people can get access to health service without it resulting in financial hardship, and the WHO believes that PHC is fundamental to achieving UHC. Second, a new international declaration on PHC has been released in Astana, Kazakhstan, in 2018. This is a new declaration and global commitment on PHC, four decennia after the first declaration on PHC in Alma-Ata, in the former Soviet Union

BACKGROUNDHigh-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) has been widely accepted as a predictor of future cardiovascular risk that reflects a microinflammatory state. Obesity linked to microinflammation increases the prevalence of metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to determine the association between several obesity indices namely body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), body fat percentage (fat), and visceral fat (VF) with hsCRP in non-diabetic adults. METHODSThis was a cross-sectional study performed on 80 non-diabetic adults with ages ranging from 20-40 years. The obesity indices BMI, WC, body fat percentage, and VF were measured. We then measured the hsCRP levels using an immunoturbidimetric method. Simple and multiple linear regression tests were used to analyze the association between obesity indices and hsCRP levels. RESULTSMean of log BMI, log WC, and log VF was 1.41 ± 0.08 kg/m2, 1.93 ± 0.06 cm, and 0.95 ± 0.27 units, respectively. Simple linear regression tests showed that log BMI (â=3.506; p<0.001), log WC (â=3.672; p<0.001), log VF (â=0.833; p<0.001), and log systolic blood pressure (â=3.739; p=0.024) had a significant positive correlation with log hsCRP levels. Further multiple linear regression test showed that log BMI (â=3.772; Beta=0.674; p<0.001) had the greater effect on log hsCRP levels compared to other indices. CONCLUSIONS BMI had a greater influence on hsCRP levels compared to other obesity indices in non-diabetic adults. Body mass index can be used as a better index in predicting hsCRP levels compared to other indices.
Study on branching pattern of segmental branches of splenic artery in human cadaveric spleens by dissection method
Authors: K Shwetha , K R Dakshayani 
Published: April 2021

Spleen is the largest lymphoid organ. It is supplied by splenic artery the largest branch of coeliac trunk. It traverses through the lienorenal ligament to reach near the hilum of the spleen, where it divides into two or three primary branches, each of which is subdivided mostly into two or four secondary branches. Moreover, a superior polar arteries and inferior polar arteries are given from splenic trunk or from one of its primary branches, which goes to the poles of the spleen, without entering the hilum. It can be named as superior and inferior polar artery. The human spleen is divided accordingly into two or three main segments. The segments of spleen are separated by a definite avascular plane. Hence the partial removal of the spleen is possible, as the spleen is divided into segments, separated by fibrous septa and each segment is supplied by its own main artery. The present study was undertaken to study in detail the segmental branches of splenic artery which divide the spleen into various segments, its pattern of distribution and also to find out any inter-segmental arterial anastomosis by dissection method.1.To study segmental branches of splenic artery. 2. To study the anastomosis between the segmental branches. 3. To study the branching pattern of terminal division of splenic artery.The present study was conducted on 79 adult human cadaver spleens by dissection method, irrespective of their age and sex, fixed in 10% formalin solution, collected from the Department of Anatomy and Forensic Medicine, Mysore Medical College and Research Institute, Mysore. 1. Two primary segmental branches were seen in 56 (70.9%) specimens, three primary segmental branches were seen in 19 (24.1%) specimens and four primary segmental branches were seen in 4 (5.1%) specimens. 2. Superior polar artery was present in 18 (22.8%) specimens and inferior polar artery was present in 32 (40.5%) and both superior and inferior polar artery was seen in 5 (6.3%) specimens. 3. Anastomosis between the primary segmental branches were seen in 11(13.9%) specimens. 4. The distributive type of branching pattern of terminal division of splenic artery was present in 50 (63.3%) specimens, and the marginal type of branching pattern was present in 29 (36.7%) specimens.The present study adds up to the existing knowledge regarding the segmental branches of splenic artery, the better anatomical knowledge about segmental distribution of splenic artery and its variations are important for the partial removal of the spleen.

DO PERSONALITY AND GENDER MITIGATE THE ADVERSE EFFECTS OF EMOTIONAL LABOR? EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM HEALTHCARE DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Javed Saman , Batool Noshaba 
Published: April 2021

Purpose: The impact of emotional labor on organizational outcomes is contingent upon numerous factors. Moreover, after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide, the implications of emotional labour practices, especially among physicians, have become more uncertain. This study aims to address these notions by examining the multigroup moderating effect of social and enterprising personalities and gender on a model of emotional labour. The aim is to determine whether emotional labour affects emotional exhaustion and well-being varies across these groups.
Methodology: Serial mediation and multigroup moderation methods were employed to test the proposed hypotheses. Data was collected from 400 physicians across Pakistan. Snowball sampling method was adopted for data collection. Structural equation modelling, including serial mediation and multigroup moderation techniques were employed for data analysis.
Main Findings: Physicians with highly social personalities and low enterprising personalities are more likely to experience detrimental effects of surface acting. Genuine emotions improve well-being for high social and enterprising as well as low enterprising personality physicians. No across-group differences exist for deep acting. For gender, females are found to be more susceptible to negative repercussions of emotional labor than their male counterparts. Positive effect of genuine emotions remains somewhat the same for both.
Implications/Applications: This study assists healthcare organizations in making the right choices during the recruitment and selection process to choose the most suitable candidates for tasks involving emotional labor, i.e., ones whose personality and gender attributes are aligned with the affective or emotional component of work. This would aid in ensuring doctors’ high psychological and physical well-being at work.
Novelty/Originality of this study: This research proposes a model of emotional labour strategies and their effects on physicians' emotional exhaustion and well-being. Multigroup moderating effects of two personality types, i.e., social and enterprising, and gender, are investigated with respect to the proposed model to see if there lie any differences between physicians belonging to various personality or gender groups.

Published: April 2021

Purpose: The current study aimed to test the impact of two religious months on the return behaviour of the gold market in Pakistan under informational efficiency hypothesis i.e. to empirically test the semi-strong form of EMH in gold market for religious calendar anomaly.
Methodology: Weekly gold prices in rupees per one gram that prevailed in Pakistan for the period January 2007 till December 2015 were selected, summing up to 468 observations. Data was taken from World Gold Council and the Bullion-rate database. Event methodology was employed for capturing and analyzing the pre and post event reactions by calculating abnormal returns. Furthermore, average security return variability was employed for robustness check.
Main Findings: Opposing results were achieved for both the lunar calendar occurrences where the gold market is inefficient for the month of Ramazan but is found efficient in Muharram's case concluding into mixed evidence and findings.
Implications/Applications: The contribution of this study differs from previous gold studies in two aspects; first the research investigated the effect of Ramazan and Muharram as Islamic calendar events, and second is that gold market prices of Pakistan that had not been examined earlier. So this study is adding to the literature in the sense of examining the new relationship in Pakistan.
Novelty/Originality of this study: Extensive literature can be found about the global gold market that tested the weak form efficiency, but empirical evidence related to the semi-strong form efficiency of the gold market in Pakistan is not available neither the calendar anomaly related to the gold market is available. The dynamics of this very highly valuable and volatile asset market require investigation of such type.
Las tensiones del populismo en el poder. Pueblo e instituciones en la teoría de Ernesto Laclau
Authors: Miró Artigas Joan 
Published: April 2021

<span>Una de las pocas conclusiones compartidas por la creciente bibliografía sobre populismo afirma el inherente carácter anti-institucional de este, por lo que la existencia de populismos en el poder aparece a menudo como una aporía. El populismo, ya sea por una supuesta tendencia al conflicto antagonista, al espontaneísmo o a la irresponsabilidad institucional tendería a socavar el normal funcionamiento de las instituciones y sería por tanto incapaz de gobernarlas sin grandes sobresaltos.

Published: April 2021

<p>En las diez elecciones que se han celebrado a nivel autonómico en Galicia (de 1981 a 2016) los partidos nacionalistas han obtenido representación política. La evolución del voto a estos partidos ha atravesado tres etapas. En la primera, fueron varias las formaciones que entraron en el Parlamento gallego y lo hicieron con un discurso centrado en el eje territorial y en la defensa identitaria. En la segunda etapa, el Bloque Nacionalista Gallego pasó a ser el partido hegemónico del nacionalismo gallego. Por último, las elecciones de 2012, que constituyen el inicio de la tercera etapa, habrían de marcar un nuevo rumbo electoral: la aparición de Alternativa Galega de Esquerdas y, posteriormente, de En Marea, han alterado la competición política en Galicia en torno a la dimensión nacionalista. Ambas coaliciones, con un discurso claramente galleguista, gozaron del apoyo de un notable número votantes que, sin embargo, optaron por dichas formaciones no precisamente por su defensa territorial. Este trabajo explora la evolución del nacionalismo gallego, centrándose de manera especial en su tercera fase. Así, buscamos determinar cuáles fueron los principales factores explicativos del voto a Alternativa Galega de Esquerdas en 2012 y a En Marea en 2016. </p>

Background. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a highly informative and safe method of examination during pregnancy, which helps to identify and localize pathological changes in the uterus or placenta.Objective. The goal of the study was to develop a universal topographic-anatomical segmentation of the pregnant uterus using MRI (with possible comparison with the bony landmarks) to determine the exact localization of abnormalities in the placenta and myometrium.Design and methods. A retrospective analysis of 96 MR images of the pelvis of pregnant women with various abnormalities in the placenta or myometrium was carried out.Results. The results of the analysis were used to develop a universal topographic and anatomical segmentation of the pregnant uterus by a step-by-step division of the entire area of the uterine walls into 12 conditionally equivalent segments. The sides of the uterus were marked with the capital letters D (Dexter — right), A (Anterior — anterior), S (Sinister — left), P (Posterior — posterior) to define the orientation, and with lowercase abbreviations sup (=superior), med (=median) and inf (=inferior) to specify the upper, middle and lower levels, respectively.Conclusion. MRI-based DASP segmentation analysis of MR images allows to accurately localize uterine abnormalities and can be used in clinical practice by radiologists and obstetricians when considering the delivery method.
