Published: August 2024

Purpose – Due to the dynamic nature of schools, the Department of Education currently faces significant issues including low teaching quality, teacher shortages, absenteeism, poor school climate, lack of well-trained and motivated instructors, and instability. Total Quality Management (TQM) is often linked to the school environment, teacher satisfaction, and performance, playing a crucial role in improving the quality of education. This paper aims to identify how teacher job satisfaction and school climate influence the relationship between TQM and school performance.
Methodology – A total of 346 teachers from Pakistan’s highperformance schools and low-performance schools, with diverse positions and wage scales, were chosen as participants in this study using stratified random sampling. Data was collected quantitatively using a survey inquiry and SPSS version 24 was utilized to analyze the data and answers the study questions. The mediation procedure was evaluated using the Sobel test.
Findings – Findings showed that the TQM variable has the highest mean value (mean=4.87) compared to the other variables tested, namely job satisfaction, school performance and school climate. According to the study’s findings, TQM, job satisfaction, and school climate all have a favourable and significant direct influence on school performance. Additionally, school climate and job satisfaction variables were found to be partial mediators linking TQM and school performance.
Significance – This study significantly enhances school quality management through a positive environment and capable human resources. The findings are also anticipated to encourage the Pakistan government to establish organizational management and educational leadership training courses to emphasise the significance of TQM and its most efficient use in the education sector.

Gypsum boards, eggshells, and urban pruning residues, when accumulated on sidewalks, vacant lots, or within native forests, can pose risks to public, environmental, and financial health. This study aimed to assess whether gypsum boards and eggshells could enhance the accumulation of dry matter and nutrients in tomato plants supplemented with Brazilwood leaves as the sole source of nitrogen. The experimental treatments comprised different doses of gypsum boards powder (0, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, and 3200 kg ha⁻¹) alongside a single dose of eggshells at 3200 kg ha⁻¹. Following the transplantation of the Caline IPA tomato cultivar into 5-liter pots, the experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with four replications. Growth indicators and macronutrient content were evaluated at 52 days post-emergence. The lower doses of gypsum boards powder, specifically 100, 200, and 400 kg ha⁻¹, demonstrated over a twofold increase in dry biomass and macronutrient content compared to the control treatment. The doses of 800, 1600, and 3200 kg ha⁻¹ resulted in more than an eightfold increase, with the 800 kg ha⁻¹ dose being particularly notable for promoting an increase of over thirteen times in these variables. Eggshells increased the number of leaves by 40% and more than doubled both dry biomass and nutrient content. This study suggests that gypsum boards powder, eggshells, and Brazilwood leaves can enhance tomato yield in low-nutrient input systems.

Published: August 2024

Background and ObjectiveExoskeleton robot control should ideally be based on human voluntary movement intention. The readiness potential (RP) component of the motion-related cortical potential is observed before movement in the electroencephalogram and can be used for intention prediction. However, its single-trial features are weak and highly variable, and existing methods cannot achieve high cross-temporal and cross-subject accuracies in practical online applications. Therefore, this work aimed to combine a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) framework with a transfer learning (TL) strategy to predict the lower limb voluntary movement intention, thereby improving the accuracy while enhancing the model generalization capability; this would also provide sufficient processing time for the response of the exoskeleton robotic system and help realize robot control based on the intention of the human body.MethodsThe signal characteristics of the RP for lower limb movement were analyzed, and a parameter TL strategy based on CNN was proposed to predict the intention of voluntary lower limb movements. We recruited 10 subjects for offline and online experiments. Multivariate empirical-mode decomposition was used to remove the artifacts, and the moment of onset of voluntary movement was labeled using lower limb electromyography signals during network training.ResultsThe RP features can be observed from multiple data overlays before the onset of voluntary lower limb movements, and these features have long latency periods. The offline experimental results showed that the average movement intention prediction accuracy was 95.23% ± 1.25% for the right leg and 91.21% ± 1.48% for the left leg, which showed good cross-temporal and cross-subject generalization while greatly reducing the training time. Online movement intention prediction can predict results about 483.9 ± 11.9 ms before movement onset with an average accuracy of 82.75%.ConclusionThe proposed method has a higher prediction accuracy with a lower training time, has good generalization performance for cross-temporal and cross-subject aspects, and is well-prioritized in terms of the temporal responses; these features are expected to lay the foundation for further investigations on exoskeleton robot control.

BackgroundHalitosis, a socially and psychologically impactful condition often resulting from oral or systemic issues, is exacerbated by factors like aging, poor oral hygiene, and dietary choices. This study aimed to investigate the association between halitosis and stress by measuring salivary cortisol levels and the Cohen's Perceived Stress Scale (CPSS).MethodsA cross-sectional study of 40 participants was conducted using questionnaires and clinical measurements to assess halitosis and stress levels. Saliva samples were collected and analyzed for cortisol using ELISA. Participants’ stress was assessed with the Cohen's Perceived Stress Scale Questionnaire (CPSS-10) questionnaire, and halitosis was measured with a Halimeter and self-assessment questionnaire. Clinical measurements included Plaque Index (PI) and the Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) score.ResultsForty subjects were split into a halitosis group (mean age 30.75 ± 10.15) and group with no halitosis (mean age 26 ± 5.3). Objective measures confirmed higher halitosis scores (3.70 ± 0.73) in the halitosis group vs. the second group (2.60 ± 1.67). Compared with the group with no halitosis, the halitosis group exhibited significantly (p &lt; 0.05) more plaque (27.92% ± 17.16% vs. 47.50 ± 33.57%; p &lt; 0.05) and higher DMFT scores (10.10 ± 2.51 vs. 26 ± 5.30), respectively. Salivary cortisol levels were similar across groups (1.721 ng/ml halitosis, 1.781 ng/ml without halitosis). Correlations showed a moderate positive relationship between DMFT and halimeter scores (r = 0.377, p = 0.018) and a moderate negative correlation between stress and plaque index (r = −0.403, p = 0.011), with no correlation between halimeter score and cortisol or CPSS score.ConclusionsOur findings showed that while halitosis severity correlated with higher DMFT scores and plaque accumulation, there was no significant association with salivary cortisol levels, suggesting that stress, as measured by salivary cortisol, may not be a direct contributor to halitosis. Furthermore, the data suggest that poor oral hygiene is a more significant factor in the development of halitosis than stress levels, as assessed by the CPSS-10.

BackgroundUnder the current pandemic of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), The relationship between fatigue and COVID-19 has been found. Infection with COVID-19 is associated with fatigue long after the acute phase of COVID-19. Understanding the association of thyroid hormones levels with post-COVID condition, such as fatigue, is necessary to improve quality of life.MethodsThis population-based cohort study was conducted in Dalian, China, from December 2022, to March 2023, using a Yidu Core platform in the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University, that integrates medical records, laboratory tests, and all diagnosis and treatment information based on patients in hospital. Eligible individuals were 40 patients with COVID-19, Divided them into fatigue group and non-fatigue group following up by telephone using the FS-14 scale after 6 months. The primary outcomes were the diagnoses of fatigue. The association between thyroid hormones levels and post-COVID condition, such as fatigue, was assessed using logistic regression analysis.ResultsCompared with the non-fatigue group, the FT3 level in fatigue group was lower (p&lt;0.05). FT3 was negatively correlated with fatigue after 6 months (OR 0.257, p&lt;0.05). After adjusting for confounding factors such as age and gender, low FT3 was a risk factor for fatigue in patients with COVID-19, (OR 0.225, p&lt;0.05). And the FT3 is less than 2.47 mol/L, it is the best critical value for predicting long-term fatigue, with a sensitivity of 92.3% and a specificity of 48.1%.ConclusionsMost people still have fatigue 6 months after COVID-19 infection. FT3 serves as the important index to predict fatigue in patients with COVID-19. it should be closely monitored during infection.
