Psychological Resilience of Frontline Healthcare Workers in India: A Mixed-Methods Exploratory Study during COVID-19 Pandemic in India
Authors: Dhillon Prabhkeerat Kaur , Das Shankar 
Published: April 2024

Objectives:To measure the resilience of the healthcare staff and frontline workers who played an active part during the COVID-19 pandemic in India and to explore the correlation of factors that bolster resilience.Materials and Methods:Mixed-methods study using convenience sampling, with a sample size of 103 respondents and a qualitative sample size of 18 respondents (11 doctors and 7 nurses) from all over India. The resilience was measured using the Brief Resilience Questionnaire.Results:The mean Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), indicative of the workforce’s psychological resilience, was 3.257 with a standard error of 0.07 (Max: 4.66 and Min: 1). The median score was 3.33. The study has shown a high positive correlation (r= 0.633) between the presence of a peer support mechanism (both formal and informal) in organisations and resilience of the healthcare workforce. There exists a moderate positive correlation between healthcare workers relationship status and their resilience (r= 0.226). A positive correlation withr= 0.122 was observed between the years of experience and the BRS scores. A weak but positive correlation was observed between the respondents’ self-reported positive adaptation to the pandemic and their BRS Scores.Conclusions:Enhancing the psychological resilience of healthcare workers, a key factor in delivering quality patient care, can be achieved through straightforward interventions leveraging fundamental human attributes such as peer support and interpersonal relationships.

Published: April 2024

Objective:
To assess the influence of connectivity of a geographical location on out-migration and health-seeking behaviour in the hilly village of Uttarakhand.

Materials and Methods:
Two villages located in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, India were surveyed. One village had good connectivity, while the other was remote. The survey was conducted through door-to-door visits by two volunteers using a semi-structured questionnaire. Descriptive analysis was performed using R software.

Results:
A total of 63 households in the well-connected village and 94 in the remote village. In the well-connected village, the prevalence of out-migration (household level) was 0%, while in the remote village, it was 32.9% (95% confidence interval: 24.1–43.3). In the remote village, 72.3% of households sought care from traditional healers. A significantly higher proportion of remote village households (88.3%) faced healthcare access issues compared to well-connected village households (17.5%) (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
The healthcare access and out-migration were major issues in the remote village. The government policies should aim to tackle these issues.

ABSTRACT
The escalating incidence of obesity in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients undergoing antiretroviral therapy is a significant health concern. This scoping review investigates the impact of bariatric surgery (BS) on HIV patients suffering from severe obesity. Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines, we meticulously searched PubMed and Scopus databases and selected 11 studies published in English from various countries. These studies provided quantitative evidence of weight loss or remission of severe obesity in HIV patients post BS. We used the Joanna Briggs Institute checklists for quality assessment relevant to observational study designs. The results from the 11 selected studies, primarily case series conducted in different geographical locations, showed significant reductions in body mass index and percentage of excess weight loss following sleeve gastrectomy (SG), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and combined BS procedures. This review highlights the potential of SG and RYGB in achieving significant weight loss in HIV patients. However, it also emphasizes the need for careful interpretation due to variations in study designs and quality. It underscores the need for future research employing rigorous methodologies to strengthen the evidence base at this complex intersection of HIV, obesity, and BS.
Sin tiempo para formar ciudadanos: liderazgo de la Formación Ciudadana en un contexto escolar de rendición de cuentas
Authors: Lopez Barraza Andrea 
Published: April 2024

El presente estudio de casos múltiples, en seis escuelas secundarias chilenas, explora los desafíos en un ámbito que ha ganado relevancia: la implementación de la Formación Ciudadana para promover el involucramiento cívico del estudiantado, en un sistema educativo mercantilizado. Se utiliza el lente del liderazgo ético, asociado al imperativo moral de la educación. Se realizaron entrevistas, observaciones y análisis documental, y se exploró cómo los instrumentos de planificación, rendición de cuentas y evaluación, moldean los discursos y prácticas de Formación Ciudadana. Los resultados muestran que se desplaza la Formación Ciudadana ante la primacía de los contenidos obligatorios y las pruebas estandarizadas; sin embargo, también se identifican resistencias a tales lógicas, que permiten la emergencia de la Formación Ciudadana. Se concluye que las políticas educativas e instrumentos de Formación Ciudadana son abordados mayormente como el cumplimiento de una obligación, delineando posibles rutas para un liderazgo ético de la Formación Ciudadana.
Writer verification using feature selection based on genetic algorithm: A case study on handwritten Bangla dataset
Authors: Paul Jaya , Dutta Kalpita , Sarkar Anasua , Roy Kaushik , Das Nibaran 
Published: April 2024

AbstractAuthor verification is challenging because of the diversity in writing styles. We propose an enhanced handwriting verification method that combines handcrafted and automatically extracted features. The method uses a genetic algorithm to reduce the dimensionality of the feature set. We consider offline Bangla handwriting content and evaluate the proposed method using handcrafted features with a simple logistic regression, radial basis function network, and sequential minimal optimization as well as automatically extracted features using a convolutional neural network. The handcrafted features outperform the automatically extracted ones, achieving an average verification accuracy of 94.54% for 100 writers. The handcrafted features include Radon transform, histogram of oriented gradients, local phase quantization, and local binary patterns from interwriter and intrawriter content. The genetic algorithm reduces the feature dimensionality and selects salient features using a support vector machine. The top five experimental results are obtained from the optimal feature set selected using a consensus strategy. Comparisons with other methods and features confirm the satisfactory results.

Authors: Gazder Uneb 
Published: April 2024

Transportation sector is among the largest consumers of fossil fuels, which also makes it a significant contributor to the greenhouse gas emissions. A great deal of effort has been made to reduce this reliance of transportation on fossil fuel for its operation. These efforts have resulted in innovations in vehicle technology which include vehicles operating on electric and hybrid energy. The advent of these technologies has showed the way towards new possibilities to further increase the efficiency of energy systems and their utilization. One such system utilizes the integration of electric vehicles with the national grid system, it is referred to as vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology. This technology provides a cost-effective and efficient solution to address the problems associated with the high demand and variable supply of renewable energy systems. This study provides a brief overview of the research conducted in this area, consequently identifying the opportunities and challenges related to this technology. Research shows that V2G integration has environmental benefits in the form of reducing CO2 emissions and reducing reliance on traditional energy sources. In spite of this, the economic feasibility of this technology requires efforts for standardization, infrastructure expansion and smart charging strategies. This paper is expected to provide future direction of work for all stakeholders, including academia, industry, and governmental bodies. There are collaborative efforts required to standardize the vehicle and grid technology and infrastructure expansion, while the research needs to focus on optimization strategies. In the end, discussion on the implementation of this technology in Bahrain is also presented. In this context, it was found that the major challenges are due to the current reliance on fossil fuel and the trend of increase in car ownership which must be addressed before taking steps towards V2G systems.

A numerical calculation of arc length and area using some spline quasi-interpolants
Authors: Saidi S. , Abbadi Abdelaziz 
Published: April 2024

In this paper, we propose two methods to approach numerically the length of curves and the area of surface of revolution created by rotating a curve around an axis. The first is based on an approximation of functions by quadratic spline discrete quasi-interpolant and calculating its exact length. The second method consists toapproximate the values of the first derivatives by those of cubic spline discrete quasiinterpolant. Those values are used to provide a quadrature formula to calculate the integral giving the length. In both methods, we prove that the order of convergence is O(h^4). The theoretical results given in this work are justified by some numerical examples.

Introdução: Por meio dos métodos de humanização e implementação de métodos não farmacológicos, a enfermagem obstétrica promove a mitigação da dor e estressores gerados no parto, além de um cuidado integral à gestante e concepto. Objetivo: Verificar na literatura existente os métodos não-farmacológicos do cuidado utilizadas pelas enfermeiras obstétricas para o parto humanizado. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo de revisão integrativa, realizado no período entre agosto e novembro de 2023. Os artigos foram coletados nas plataformas Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO) e Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS), utilizando os descritores (DesC): Trabalho de Parto, Parto Humanizado, Enfermagem obstetrícia e assistência perinatal, e o operador boleano and. Como critérios de inclusão foram selecionados artigos científicos originais, disponíveis na íntegra, nos idiomas português e inglês, publicados entre os anos de 2018 a 2023. Os critérios de exclusão foram artigos do tipo revisão de literatura, Trabalhos de Conclusão de Curso, monografias, dissertações, teses, estudos de caso, e trabalhos que não se enquadrassem aos objetivos da pesquisa. Resultados: Dentre os 20 artigos analisados, observou-se que os principais métodos não-farmacológicos utilizados foram a Bola Suíça, Aromaterapia e Deambulação. Tais métodos demonstraram-se eficazes na redução da dor do parto, aumento da segurança e sensação de conforto da paciente, além do fortalecimento da relação enfermeiro-paciente. Os fatores limitantes para a implementação dos métodos foram a baixa capacitação entre os profissionais da enfermagem, a baixa autonomia da enfermagem obstétrica em seus espaços de atuação, principalmente em instituições privadas, e preferência das gestantes pelo método cesariano para escolha do parto. Considerações Finais: Conclui-se que os métodos não-farmacológicos são imprescindíveis na assistência para o parto humanizado e assistência integral ao concepto e genitora, porém exige a necessidade do preparo técnico-científico para competência e aplicabilidade dos métodos não-farmacológicos pela equipe de enfermagem.

A total of 166 substances were identified, including 23 substances with concentrations above 10mg/L, 9 substances with concentrations between 5mg/L-10mg/L, 38 substances with concentrations between 1mg/L-5mg/L, and the remaining 96 substances with concentrations below 1mg/L. There is a certain degree of complementarity between compounds extracted by solvents with different polarities, and solid-phase extraction performs poorly in extracting compounds with higher polarities.
Exploración de las Matemáticas en Juegos de Damas: un Aporte a la Enseñanza de las Matemáticas
Authors: Selezi Simão Pedro Mateus 
Published: April 2024

Aversion to mathematics shown by learners belonging to different age stages, worries and challenges mathematicians and/ or mathematics teachers to develop surveys which might improve learners´ mathematics learnings. “Thawing” recondite mathematics in several games may aid to provide a different mathematics vision. The current research article aims to identify and analyze the “concealed” mathematics through checker games played in Angola, mostly in Cuando Cubango province. The survey is placed in ethnomathematics and considering its sorts, qualitative methodology has been used supported by a half-structured interview, direct observation to picture recording. The research was conducted in the Menongue municipality (Cuando Cubango capital city). The three versions of checkers games were described (12 by 12; 10 by 10 and 8 by 8), some questions were created that guided this investigation (Why does the structure of the checkers game have the same number of rows and columns? Why do players when placing checkers pieces in the middle always leave two empty rows? Why is the sum of rows and columns equal to the even number? Why is each painted square on the checkers board corresponds to an odd number?) and, finally, some mathematical concepts involved in that game were explored (such as, for example, the notion of the Cartesian plane, diagonal lines, distance between two points, median (element of Statistics), numbers even and odd).
