BACKGROUND
Listening to music has been shown to reduce pain and anxiety before, during, and after invasive coronary procedures.
AIM
To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the effect of therapeutic use of music on both, perioperative and postoperative outcomes of invasive coronary procedures.
METHODS
An exhaustive literature search of 3 electronic databases (MEDLINE, Scopus, Cochrane CENTRAL) was conducted from inception until 10th December 2023. The results of our analyses are presented as standard mean difference (SMD) or weighted mean difference, with 95%CI and pooled using a random effects model. A P value < 0.05 was considered significant in all cases.
RESULTS
From 21 studies, 2141 participants were included in our analysis. The pooled analysis demonstrated that music listening significantly improves post-procedural pain (SMD = -0.78, 95%CI: -1.34 to -0.23; P = 0.006), anxiety (SMD = -0.86, 95%CI: -1.43 to -0.29; P = 0.003), heart rate [mean difference (MD) = -3.38, 95%CI: -5.51 to -1.25; P = 0.002], and systolic blood pressure (MD = -5.89, 95%CI: -9.75 to -2.02; P = 0.003). There was no significant improvement in diastolic blood pressure (MD = -3.22, 95%CI: -6.58 to 0.14; P = 0.06) or respiratory rate (MD = -0.97, 95%CI: -1.98 to 0.03; P = 0.06).

Authors: Kottara Chara , Asonitou Sofia , Kavalieraki-Foka Dimitra , Georgopoulou Maria Sofia , Brinia Vasiliki 
Published: January 2025

Learning theories reconstruct complex cognitive processes and provide useful mental models for the structure and design of courses. However, even for the most experienced professors, exploring them remains a challenge. Researchers around the world consider the development of theoretical models that contribute to the process of knowledge construction and experiential learning to be essential. In recent decades, there has been an increasing trend in the design of accounting courses through the integration of technology into traditional teaching. This has resulted in the emergence of new perspectives through the adoption of a blended teaching approach. This research deals with the investigation, analysis, and comparison of four fundamental learning theories: Behaviorism, Cognitivism, Constructivism, and Connectivism. Its contribution lies in the scientific documentation of the suitability of the theories that align with the needs within the framework of blended learning. The findings of the research are drawn from the literature review and the implementation of an experiment in an undergraduate accounting course. A blend of two theories emerged that align optimally in blended environments; specifically, the theories of constructivism with an emphasis on the social aspect and connectivism show a strong correlation, promoting student-centered teaching which increases student engagement by enhancing their knowledge and skills.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0973/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Obina Jeremias E. , Tecson Rhoda Queenie S. , Kalis Gaddah Lea G. , Bura-ay Deo C. 
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the relationship between reading comprehension and the solution processes of mathematical word problems and the difference in the solution processes in solving mathematical word problems when grouped according to reading comprehension skills. A descriptive-correlational research design was utilized to explore this relationship, while causal-comparative analysis was employed to examine these differences. The study included one hundred seventy-nine (179) students from Grades 7 to 10 enrolled in a private institution for the school year 2023-2024. The findings revealed that junior high school students exhibited poor levels in their reading comprehension skills, and their solution processes in solving mathematical word problems were at a low level. The investigation showed no significant relationship between respondents’ reading comprehension skills and their ability to solve mathematical word problems, indicating a weak positive relationship. Moreover, the findings indicate that there is a significant difference between the respondents' solution processes in solving mathematical word problems when grouped according to frustration/poor, instructional, and independent. The poor level, representing the lowest proficiency in reading, exhibits higher performance in solving mathematical word problems compared to the instructional level, which is at a middle proficiency level. The independent level, representing the highest proficiency in reading, demonstrates the highest performance in solving mathematical word problems compared to the other two levels.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0973/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

The purpose of this article is to consider the strategies of digital diplomacy as a new means of communication, the linguistic features of communication platforms, as well as the functional features of discursive genres of diplomatic communication in the virtual space. The relevance of the study is also due to the insufficient coverage in the linguistic literature of new genres and communication strategies of digital diplomacy. The current level of the development of diplomatic discourse using IT technologies on the Internet allows us to talk about the emergence of digital diplomacy as a new form of diplomatic discourse. Each website of a diplomatic department must have a link to official accounts on various social networks. The list of social networks used is varied, but the main ones in digital diplomacy are Facebook and Twitter, which offer users a wide range of communication opportunities. Digital diplomacy is changing the rules of the game in international relations. The use of networks has changed the practice of information and analytical work of diplomats, strategy planning, implementation of protocol events and organization of negotiations. Employees of foreign policy departments and international organizations act as organizers of online discussions, which allows them to directly influence the perception of information content by the target audience.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT
The vulnerability of aluminum alloys to localized corrosion, particularly near fastener holes, is known to directly affect crack initiation. Gaining an improved understanding of environmental assisted cracking mechanisms necessitates an understanding of static and dynamic corrosion morphology associated with cracking. Traditional methods have fallen short in addressing the complexities of characterizing damage observed under diverse testing conditions. This study introduces a new image analysis algorithm, capable of quantifying specific damage features. To validate the algorithm, panels of AA7075-T6 with a SS 316 fastener inserted were exposed to realistic relative humidity cycles that mimic outdoor environmental conditions. Then, robust statistical analyses were used to validate the algorithm's performance by comparison with an analysis performed by a subject matter expert. Multiple analyses, including a significant Cohen's κ statistic, Kruskal γ test, and F1 score were employed. Low Mean Absolute and Mean Square error values were observed, indicating the precision of the algorithm. High R-squared values ensured the algorithm's explanatory capacity, while the Bland-Altman plot reveals overall alignment between algorithmic predictions and expert measurements. Lin’s concordance correlation coefficient value further accentuates the outstanding agreement between algorithmic predictions and expert assessments. Together, these comprehensive statistical analyses affirm the algorithm's accuracy, reliability, and precision in categorizing instances of IGC from digital images, highlighting its potential as a powerful tool in corrosion analysis.

ABSTRACT
Slow strain rate testing has been used to investigate the susceptibility of 316L stainless steel to SCC in high chloride and low dissolved oxygen brines. Tests have been carried out for various temperatures and ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) concentrations. The susceptibility to SCC was assessed in terms of ductility loss, detailed fractography and cross-sectional inspections to identify the damage mechanisms. It is challenging to maintain long-term SCC experiments with very low DO levels. In this work, we showed that 3 hours of sparging with high purity nitrogen at a flow rate of 0.2 L/min was sufficient to reduce the DO in a 0.6 L test solution to ~ 10 ppb. However, over the full test duration of 7 or 8 days with continuous nitrogen purging of the solution, the mean and maximum DO values were 17.4 and 34.4 ppb in 40 wt.% NH4Cl, and 16.5 ppb and 41.8 ppb in 30 wt.% NH4Cl solutions at 95 °C. For 316L stainless steel at open circuit in ≥ 30 wt % (i.e. 6.1M) ammonium chloride solutions with these very low DO levels, pitting corrosion was not seen at 60 °C, became evident at 80 °C and was severe at 95 °C and above, while SCC was not seen at 60 or 80 °C, was possibly initiating at 80 °C without propagating significantly, and was severe at 95 °C.

The letters Alif and Alef are architectural masterpieces. Architecture is not only constructed to meet basic human needs. In a semiotic perspective, architecture is a text and is designed to be rich in philosophical values, so it is necessary to trace the meanings contained in it. This research is a literature, with a comparative inductive method. The approach is semiotic architecture. As a result, the Alif and Alef architectures are designed to be timeless so that the letter values can become a guideline that is firmly held by their users. Its extra-detailed design shows the sacredness of the letter. Apart from being the name of God, the letter is constructed as an icon of tahlil or tehlel monotheism that interprets the oneness of God and there is no God but Him. He is All Supreme and to Him man must submit, serve and hold on to His words. Its abstract qualities are the image of infinity and something indescribable. His intentions show that God is the Creator, can only be articulated through the wonders of His creations. The numerical value of one represents a beginning and the only path to be walked. One thousand is an infinity number that means everything comes from the One Dzat no one can feel high because God is Al-Mutakabbir. And among the ways of obtaining sprirituality is to neutralize lust.
