Correlations between Insomnia and Sex, Work Experience, Shift and Body
Max Index in Italian Nurses: A Scoping Profile Statement
Authors: Vitale Elsa 
Published: July 2022

Aim:
The present study aimed to assess any association existing between insomnia according to sex, work experience, shift and BMI values in Italian nurses.

Method:
An “ad hoc” questionnaire was created and administered online in October 2020. Data collected included: sex, years of work experience, shift work per day, BMI values, and insomnia levels.

Findings:
A total of 341 Italian nurses were enrolled. Of these, 277 (81.23%) were females and n=64 (18.77%) males. No significant differences were assessed between ISI levels and sex, BMI scores, work experience and shift (p=.098; p=.978; p=.561; p=.222, respectively). Significant and inverse correlation was assessed between ISI values and sex (p=.019), BMI values (p=.033). While, no significant correlations were assessed between ISI levels and work experience (p=.805) and shift (p=.962), respectively. However, work experience reported significant correlations between BMI classes (p>.001) and shift (p<.001).

Conclusion:
Data suggested potential health risk factors for the nursing workforce, which was associated with weight gain and developing Metabolic Syndrome. Therefore, the essence of the nursing profession could affect work performance and cause problems in the family and social life, as well as stress, anxiety, depression, fatigue, and irregular sleep patterns.

Background
Public health programs are tasked with educating the community on health topics, but it is unclear whether these programs are acceptable to learners. Currently, these programs are delivered via a variety of platforms including in-person, virtually, and over the telephone. Sickle cell trait (SCT) education for parents of children with this trait is one of many education programs provided by the Ohio Department of Health. The novel SCTaware videoconference education program was developed by a research team after central Ohio’s standard program transitioned from in-person to telephone-only education during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objective
Our objectives were to investigate the acceptability of the format and engagement with the SCTaware education and assess parental worry about having a child with SCT before and after receiving SCTaware.

Methods
This was a single-center, prospective study of English-speaking parents of children <3 years of age identified to have hemoglobin S trait by newborn screening. Parents who previously received SCT education by telephone, were able to be contacted, and had access to an electronic device capable of videoconferencing were eligible to complete surveys after receiving the virtual SCTaware education program. The SCTaware educator also completed a survey to assess participant engagement. Data were summarized descriptively and a McNemar test was used to compare parental worry before and after receiving SCTaware.

Results
In total, 55 participants completed follow-up surveys after receiving standard SCT telephone education and then completing SCTaware. Most (n=51) participants reported that the SCTaware content and visuals were very easy to understand (n=47) and facilitated conversation with the educator (n=42). All of them said the visuals were respectful and trustworthy, helped them understand content better, and that their questions were addressed. Nearly two-thirds (62%, n=34) reported that the pictures appeared very personal and applied to them. The educator noted most participants (n=45) were engaged and asked questions despite having to manage distractions during their education sessions. Many participants (n=33) reported some level of worry following telephone-only education; this was significantly reduced after receiving SCTaware (P<.001).

Conclusions
Our results suggest that SCTaware is acceptable and engaging to parents. While telephone education may make SCT education more accessible, these findings suggest that many parents experience significant worry about their child with SCT after these sessions. A study to evaluate SCTaware’s effectiveness at closing parents’ SCT knowledge gaps is ongoing.

Published: July 2022

The purpose of this study was to develop a method of measuring the amylose content of rice using image processing techniques and an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model. The rice samples came from six varieties, namely Way Apo Buru, Mapan P05, IR-64, Cibogo, Inpari IR Nutri Zinc, and Inpari 33. The amylose content was measured by laboratory tests and the color intensity was measured based on the RGB (Red, Green, Blue). The ANN model will correlate the RGB color intensity as input with the amylose content as the output. The ANN model used is backpropagation type with 3 input layer nodes and 2 hidden layers with 3-5-5-1 architecture. Variations in the training model used are 27 variations of the activation function. The amount of data used for model training of 30 data while for validation of 12 data. The best ANN model is determined from the high value of accuracy (100%-MAPE) and the value of coefficient of determination (R2). The results showed the best network architecture on the activation function purelin-logsig-tansig. The R2 value on the best training and validation results of 0.98 and 0.66 while the accuracy values for the best training and validation results of 98.15 and 66.82. The validation results show that the developed non-destructive method can be used to quickly and accurately measure the amylose value of rice based on RGB color value. The test results show that the non-destructive method developed cannot be used to measure the amylose content of rice quickly and accurately based on the RGB color intensity, so it needs further development.

Published: July 2022

In processing potatoes into sticks on a large scale, an equipment is needed that can facilitate the manufacturing process. Therefore, it is necessary to research the design of the potato peeler and cutter and test the performance of the tool. This study aims to determine the design and selection of materials, to determine the production process of potato peeler and cutter and to determine the effect of rotation on time and level of cleanliness of potatoes. This machine consists of several components, namely the frame, peeler tube, cutting tube, transmission unit and electric motor. The working mechanism of this tool is that the peeler disc which is moved by an electric motor rotates to push the potatoes, so that the rotation causes friction between the potatoes and the peeler tube which has a rough surface, this friction causes the potato skin to peel off and is then forwarded to the potato cutter tube with a propeller, which is driven by an electric motor so that the rotation pushes the potatoes into the knife so that the potatoes that pass through the peeler tube are cut into sticks. From the results of testing the tool obtained data on potatoes grade A with an average time of 2 minutes and a motor rotation of 170 rpm, capable of peeling 96.8% of potatoes with a weight loss of 3.2% of potatoes. For potatoes grade B with an average time of 2 minutes and a motor rotation of 170 rpm was capable of peeling 97% of potatoes with a weight loss of 3%, and the results of potato cuts with a cross sectional size of 6.9 × 6.9 mm.Keywords: french fries, peeler, cutter, potato stick

Abstract
Today, the use of machine learning technology in combination with the use of big data are topics that are actively discussed in business around the world. This topic has long gone beyond the information sphere, as it now applies to almost every sphere of life: economic, telecommunications, education, medicine, administration, and especially defense. Predicting customer behavior based on scoring models is in its infancy in Ukrainian companies, the main ones being the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies and machine learning, which will be the leading catalyst that will facilitate decision-making in business in the nearest future. The aim of the study is to develop a scoring model that predicts the behavior of target segments, namely, updating their activity to activate advertising tools. To achieve the goal of the work a set of research methods was used: dialectical – to reveal the theoretical foundations of models and types of forecasting models; analytical – in the study of the functioning of the environment SAS, Anaconda; optimization methods – to choose the best model and generate features. Scientific novelty and theoretical significance lie in the development of a scoring model for predicting the activity of subscribers of the telecommunications company “VF Ukraine”, on the basis of which marketing campaigns are conducted. With the help of the built-in scoring model, the company “VF Ukraine” can target its campaigns to retain subscribers. The marketing directorate of the enterprise can choose the TOP-20 or TOP-30 of the most prone subscribers to non-resumption of activity, i.e., tend to switch to other mobile operators, and hold promotions for them – providing additional gifts and bonuses, money to mobile account.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Nowadays, due to the labor market’s digitalization and robotization toppled by the pandemic restrictions and remote work popularity, the soft skills needed for individuals in search for jobs and career success have fallen into a new era of interest for numerous actors playing in society – individuals, organizations, the private sector, governments, universities, training companies, so on and so forth. Therefore, this article aims at taking a closer look in the process of filling the gap between actors and stakeholders in the area of training, by analyzing the way in which employers’ needs for soft skills have changed in the past 4 years (2018-2022). For this purpose, we gathered and analyzed data regarding the training offers of 8 major training companies in Romania, using a “time travel” instrument available online to compare their official Web Pages from today to the ones from 2018-2019, before the pandemic began. We believe our findings represent a solid start which proves that the need for soft skills training has surely evolved on the market since 2018 until today and can represent a milestone argument for other scientists to base their research on, as well as for governmental stakeholders to base their policies on.

Solving Lonely Runner Conjecture through differential geometry
Authors: Ďuriš V. , Šumný T. , Gonda D. , Lengyelfalusy T. 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThe Lonely Runner Conjecture is a known open problem that was defined by Wills in 1967 and in 1973 also by Cusick independently of Wills. If we supposenrunners having distinct constant speeds start at a common point and run laps on a circular track with a unit length, then for any given runner, there is a time at which the distance of that runner is at least 1/nfrom every other runner. There exist several hypothesis verifications for differentnmostly based on principles of approximation using number theory. However, the general solution of the conjecture for anynis still an open problem. In our work we will use a unique approach to verify the Lonely Runner Conjecture by the methods of differential geometry, which presents a non-standard solution, but demonstrates to be a suitable method for solving this type of problems. In the paper we will show also the procedure to build an algorithm that shows the possible existence of a solution for any number of runners.
To Touch or to Be Touched. Doubting Thomas in the Bible, Apocryphal Texts, and the Arts. A Literary Perspective
Authors: Bosman Frank G. 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
In Christian tradition, the name of the Biblical Thomas is connected primarily to the story of John 20: 27 in which the apostle in invited by Jesus to touch his tortured body. This invitation is the result of Thomas’ prior scepticism to the reality of the resurrection. Contrary to popular belief, the text of John does not indicate clearly if Thomas accepts Jesus’ offer. John creates a narrative gap for the readers to fill in, stimulating the reader to contemplate the relationship between the notion of seeing, touching and believing, and their mutual dependency (or the lack of it). In this historical-literary article, the author investigates this literary dependency in the synoptic gospels, John’s gospel, several apocryphal texts, and four famous paintings, all focussing on the character of Thomas, in search of the different ways in which these authors and artists try to fill in John’s apparent narrative gap.
