Published: March 2021

Abstract
Background: To apply the Bio-Psych-Social (BPS) model into clinical practice, it is important not to focus on psychosocial domains only since biomedical factors can also contribute to chronic pain conditions. The cognitive functional therapy (CFT) is the management system based on the BPS model for chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNSLBP). Objectives: To compare CFT with the other interventions for CNSLBP regarding pain, disability/functional status, QoL and psychological factors.Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Method: Literature Search was conducted in electronic search engines. Enrolled participants included 1) CNSLBP and 2) primary, secondary, or tertiary care patients. CFT was the interventions included. Comparisons were any types of treatment.Results: Three studies met the eligibility criteria. The total number of participants was 336. For pain intensity, MD [95% CIs] was -2.78 [-2.78−0.02] and -1.01 [-1.92−-0.10] at intermediate and long term for two studies, respectively. About disability/functional status, SMD [95% CIs] was -0.76 [-1.46−-0.07]　at the intermediate for three studies and MD [95% CIs] was -0.84 [-11.47−-5.49] at long term for two studies. About fear of physical activity, MD [95% CIs] was -3.01 [-5.14−-0.88] and -3.56 [-6.43−-0.68] at intermediate and long term for two studies, respectively. No studies reported scores associated with QOL. All the quality of the evidence was very low. Conclusions: Three studies were included and the quality of all the evidence was very low. Although the study found statistically significant differences in some measures, the effectiveness of the CFT will need to be re-evaluated in the future.PROSPERO registration number CRD42020158182

Abstract

Information about food hygiene and quality in the sub-Saharan African countries remains scarce at a time when many of their citizenry are beginning to acquire the much coveted middle income status. Compounding this are challenges linked to monitoring the safety of food produced by such lucrative industries as the beef industry on a continuous basis. The objective of the study was to begin some how the process of encouraging changes to the status quo and showing by example how a start in that direction might look like. Using heavy metal contents of representative beef samples from butcheries in Soroti, Uganda typical of a sub-Saharan country, we demonstrate how relationships and common sources of metals could be identified among samples in a multivariate space. Beef samples from 40 sites were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometry for iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), copper (Cu), cobalt (Co) and cadmium (Cd). The study showed that all beef samples contained these metals, the extent of which were in the order: Fe > Zn > > Ni, Cr > Pb > Cu, Co > Cd. By correlation analysis, the pairs Ni and Cr, Cd and Co, Ni and Fe or Cr and Fe were most likely coming from the same sources. We also found that there are at least three distinct characteristics of beef consumed in Soroti, a distinction perhaps arising from three major categories of feedlots used to raise donor cattle. The incremental risk of children or adults developing cancer over a lifetime was estimated and found to fall into three categories, two of which are separately explained by the presence of Cr or Ni. The sources of these metals remain a matter of speculation on our part. More studies are needed to determine these sources and to understand the nature of cancer risk in the three categories of beef identified here.

Authors: Naz Syed Farah , Riyaz Sadat , Sharma Vijay Kumar 
Published: March 2021

Background:
The human ken and understanding about esoteric phenomenon develops the period from space to the sub-atomic level. The passion to further explore the unexplored domains and dimensions boosts the human advancement in a cyclic way. A significant part of such passion follows in the electronics industry. Moore’s law is reaching the practical limitations because of further scaling of metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) devices. The need of a more dexterous and effective technology approach is demanded. Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) is an emerging technology which avoids the physical limitations of the MOS device. QCA is a dynamic computational transistor paradigm that addresses device density, power, operating frequency and interconnection problems. It requires an extensive study to know the fundamentals of logic implementation.

Objective:
Immense research and experiments due same vigor led to the evolving nanotechnology and a feasible alternative to complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. A comprehensive study is presented in the paper to enhance the basics of QCA technology and the way of implementation of the logic circuits. Different existing circuits using QCA technology are discussed and compared for different parameters.

Methods:
Scaling the devices can reduce the power consumption of the MOS device. Quantum dots are nanostructures made from semi-conductive conventional materials. It is possible to model these constructions as 3-dimensional (3D) quantum energy wells. Logical operations and data movement are performed using Columbic interaction between nearby QCA cells instead of current flow.

Results:
The focus of this review paper is to study the trends which have been proposed and compared the designs for various digital circuits. The performance of different circuits such as XOR, adder, reversible gates and flip-flops are provided. Different logic circuits are compared on the parameters such as cell count, area and latency. At least 10 QCA cells are used for the XOR gate with 1 clock latency. Minimum 44 QCA cells are required to make a full adder with 1.25 clock latency.

Conclusion:
Designer may choose the best fitted circuit in their logic implementation on the basis of the comparison. The comprehensive study of the QCA technology helps the researchers to learn this field fast and work for the design of less cells count and latency.
Review of Data Analytic Teaching Cases, Have We Covered Enough?
Authors: Raschke Robyn L. , Charron Kimberly F. 
Published: March 2021

ABSTRACT
Big Data and data analytics are changing the accounting profession requiring different skills. To prepare students, faculty are tasked with teaching data analytics and the tools used to perform data analysis. This study examines data analytic teaching cases across the curriculum from peer-reviewed accounting education literature using the lens of the data analytic process. We include the breadth of tools students employ to complete the cases that will give students the experience needed to be a valued business partner. We find that the majority of teaching cases focus on analysis and communication, while few cover necessary steps prior to analysis such as extraction and data preparation. We also find that Excel is the principal tool used, while other much needed tools are rarely employed in teaching cases. Our findings provide an opportunity for academics to create new teaching cases to provide students with comprehensive experiences throughout the data analytics cycle.

AbstractThe low level of English language skills possessed by the people of Kemloko Tourism Village is a serious problem that needs immediate solutions. Especially with the enthusiasm of foreign tourists who come to visit this tourist village to see various tourist attractions. On this basis, it is important to conduct English language training so that they are skilled in using English. This community service method was developed using a participatory approach. The results of the service activities show that the Kemloko community in participating in the service looks enthusiastic. This can be seen from the efforts of the participants to take part in the training amidst their busy daily activities. Participants always try to take the time to attend this training every week. At the first meeting, the community still looked awkward and reluctant to ask questions so that the activities still looked monotonous without any interactive dialogue. However, the atmosphere was different during the next meeting. Participants always ask the speakers if there are things that are confused and unclear so that a series of activities become interactive and run smoothly.Keywords: Training, English, Kemloko.
Kuvaileva kirjallisuuskatsaus vanhempien lapsiinsa kohdistaman väkivallan loppumiseksi tarkoitetun CPC-CBT -työmenetelmän kansainvälisistä tutkimuksista
Authors: Kortelainen Merja , Vornanen Riitta , Anis Merja 
Published: March 2021

Väkivaltatyön palvelut ovat tavanomaisesti erillistä työskentelyä lapsille ja vanhemmille. Vanhempien lapsiinsa kohdistamassa kuritusväkivallassa on usein kyse vuorovaikutuksen, vanhemmuuden taitojen ja ylisukupolvisten pulmien vaikutuksesta vanhemmuuteen. Silti palveluvalikostamme puuttuu näyttöön perustuvia väkivaltatyön työmuotoja, joissa vanhemmat ja lapset olisivat yhtäaikaisessa työskentelyssä.
Tämä artikkeli käsittelee Yhdysvalloissa kehitettyä, näyttöön perustuvaa Combined Parent-Child Cognitive Behavioral Therapy -menetelmää (CPC-CBT), jonka tavoitteena on saada vanhempien lapsiinsa kohdistama kuritusväkivalta loppumaan ja parantaa vanhempien ja lasten keskinäistä vuorovaikutusta. Menetelmä soveltuu myös ennaltaehkäisevästi kaltoinkohtelun riskin vähentämiseen. Mallissa työskennellään samanaikaisesti sekä lasten että vanhempien kanssa, erikseen ja yhdessä.
Artikkeli on kuvaileva kirjallisuuskatsaus, joka tarjoaa tutkimustietoa CPC-CBT -työmuodosta. Aineistoon valittiin 17 tutkimusta tai raporttia kesällä 2018. Tutkimusmenetelmä on sisällönanalyysi. Tuloksissa on esitetty lasten, vanhempien ja työntekijöiden kokemuksia CPC-CBT -työskentelyyn osallistumisesta ja työskentelyllä tavoiteltuihin muutoksiin pääsemisestä. Lisäksi artikkelissa on tarkasteltu aiemmissa kirjallisuuskatsauksissa raportoituja, menetelmällä saavutettuja muutoksia perheissä sekä tutkimuksista saatua tietoa menetelmää käyttävien työntekijöiden tietotaitovaatimuksista.
Työskentelystä on saatu hyviä kokemuksia sekä työmuodon kehittäjämaassa Yhdysvalloissa että Ruotsissa. Tutkimusten tulosten mukaan kuritusväkivalta on loppunut tai vähentynyt, lasten posttraumaattiset oireet ovat vähentyneet, lasten ja vanhempien vuorovaikutus on parantunut ja positiivinen kasvatus on lisääntynyt. Lisätutkimusta tarvitaan vielä, sillä tutkimukset ovat osin pilottitutkimuksia pienillä otoksilla vailla pitkän ajan seurantaa.
University Freshman Mentoring Effectiveness and Scale Enhancement
Authors: Chong Yenwan , Thi Lip-Sam 
Published: March 2021

Graduate unemployment has worsened following the global crisis caused by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and has created increased pressures on universities to enhance their graduates’ employability. Past studies have indicated that mentoring programs can positively impact student soft skills development and employability. While undergraduate mentoring programs have mushroomed, research on undergraduate mentoring has not kept pace. This study used a mixed methods approach to examine the effectiveness of a public university’s initiative in mentoring new undergraduates. Using the College Student Mentoring Scale (CSMS), this study found that the university’s undergraduate mentoring initiative is moderately effective. The CSMS assessed four mentoring dimensions, namely academic subject knowledge support, degree and career support, psychological and emotional support as well as role modelling. The results of this study highlighted the mentoring functions that are considered as least effective so that informed and targeted efforts can be undertaken to enhance university freshman mentoring. Findings from this study suggest that a new dimension namely mentor-mentee compatibility, competencies and expectations could be added to the College Student Mentoring Scale (CSMS) to enhance concept operationalization. A limitation of this study is that it is based on mentees’ perspectives only. Future research could include the perspectives of mentors as well.

Innovative Educational Practice for Impactful Teaching Strategies through Scaffolding Method
Authors: Rahmat Hawa , Oi Leng Chong , Mashudi Rohaidah 
Published: March 2021

As technology progresses in education, 21st-century educators need to use impactful instructional methods to ensure that the focus of education is on preparing today's children for the future. However, the biggest challenge for most lecturers in Multimedia University is teaching the non-graded subjects (pass or fail in nature). Since the subjects do not affect the CGPA, students were found not being serious or showing interest in the class. Consequently, it affects the learning outcome of the subject and also the psychosocial and moral of the students and lecturers. Therefore, action research using the Scaffolding method with a group of lecturers teaching non-graded subjects to see the effectiveness and impact on student’s learning. Grooming and Professional Etiquette subjects were chosen to be the focus of this study. The lecturers applied the new role of teachers in education using the scaffolding teaching method. Students were given tasks to organize a grooming and professional etiquette program while they showed groomed behavior. There were lectures and small discussions in the class before the event. There were peer discussion and collaboration before and during the event with minimum supervision from the lecturers. Survey questionnaires were distributed to the students at the end of the event/class for the particular semester. The results showed that this approach managed to boost up students’ grooming and professional etiquette as well as their class participation. They enjoyed the activities, more attentive, and confident when experiencing the task themselves rather than listening to lectures and watching videos in the class.
