Background
Concerning rates of psychological disorders are increasingly recognized in young adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to examine the associations of different structural and functional social supports on depression, anxiety, and stress among young adults in Vietnam.

Methods
An online cross-sectional study was performed on 236 respondents aged 16 to 30 years in Vietnam from June to July 2020. The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale—21 Items (DASS-21); the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and the LUBBEN Social Network Scale (LSNS-6) was used to measure psychological health, functional and structural social support characteristics. Multi-level mixed-effect logistic regression was used to identify associations between social support and anxiety, depression, and stress.

Results
The rate of at least mild depression, anxiety, and stress were 30.1%, 34.8%, and 35.6%, respectively. Structural supports measured by LSNS-6 were not associated with the likelihood of having depression, anxiety, and stress (p>0.05). Respondents having friends with whom they could share joys and sorrows were less likely to have anxiety (aOR = 0.61, 95%CI = 0.41–0.90) and stress (aOR = 0.66, 95%CI = 0.45–0.96). Having family support in decision-making was also negatively associated with depression, anxiety, and stress. Meanwhile, those having family and friends who tried to help them were more likely to suffer stress (aOR = 1.94, 95%CI = 1.16–3.24) and depression (aOR = 2.09; 95%CI = 1.11–3.92), respectively.

Conclusion
This study highlighted a high rate of psychological problems among young adults during the COVID-19 pandemic in Vietnam. Emotional support from friends and advice support from family were important components that should be considered in further interventions to mitigate the psychological problems in young adults.
Correlates of quality of life among persons living with tuberculosis: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Tornu Eric , Quarcoopome Louisa 
Published: November 2022

Introduction
The correlates of quality of life originating from the demographic characteristics, comorbidities and sources of social support among persons living with tuberculosis remain underreported. The aim of this study was to examine the correlates of quality of life among persons living with tuberculosis within Greater Accra, Ghana.

Methods
A cross-sectional survey design was used to assess the correlates of quality of life among 250 randomly sampled persons living with tuberculosis. Quality of life was assessed with the Quality of Life Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire and correlates were derived using Spearman rho correlations. Chi-square analyses assessed associations among respondent characteristics.

Results
All four quality of life domains (physical, psychological, social relationship and environmental) of persons living with tuberculosis were positively correlated. Furthermore, receiving social support from family or friends correlated positively with respondents’ quality of life. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection and receiving social support mainly from work colleagues or religious institutions correlated negatively with respondents’ quality of life domains. Other correlates of quality of life included age, pleuritis with pleural effusion, number of dependants and distance to tuberculosis treatment centres. Social support from family and friends corresponded with better quality of life among persons living with tuberculosis.

Conclusion
The quality of life domains of persons living with tuberculosis are interrelated and can be enhanced by social support. Healthcare providers should involve the significant others of persons living with tuberculosis, human immunodeficiency virus and pleuritis with pleural effusion in their care to promote patients’ quality of life.
The Quest for Self-Determination and the State in Ethiopia: The Oromo Popular Uprising of 2014–2017 in Historical Perspective
Authors: Dinka Etana H. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This article seeks to place the Oromo popular uprising of 2014–2017 into a deeper historical context. It traces the origins of the uprising through various landmarks in the Oromo national struggle for self-determination and turning points in the history of Ethiopia's state-making projects. In understanding the relationship between attempts at state construction and the determined opposition it encountered, the article emphasizes the dramatic changes that unfolded between the close of the nineteenth century and the political transition that was triggered in 2018. Although recognizing Ethiopia's long-ranging political intricacies, this article argues that the Oromo popular uprising of 2014-17 demonstrates the peak of decades of struggles for inclusion, recognition, self-rule, and equality that have mainly resulted from the Ethiopian state's cyclical violence and rejection of demands for reform.

Mobile learning is well established in literature and practice, but under-evolved from a rigorous learning design perspective. Activity theory presents a sophisticated way of mapping and understanding learning design, but for mobile learning this does not always translate into change in practice. The reported research addresses this by coupling a mobile learning specific approach to activity theory with a practice-based framework: the design for transformative mobile learning framework mapped to the pedagogy-andragogy-heutagogy continuum matrix (the DTML-PAH Matrix). Seven case studies are analysed using this approach and presented narratively along with framework informed analysis. Findings include that the DTML-PAH Matrix can be used to provide clearer implications and guidance for mobile learning practice, and that the DTML-PAH Matrix can also be guided by the practice over time. Implications for further research and practice are discussed.
Implications for practice or policy:

Provide technological and pedagogical scaffolds to students.
Learning designs should focus upon enabling elements of learner agency and creativity.
To develop learning solutions to real world problems utilise a design-based research approach.
Create authentic collaborative learning activities and tasks.
Integrate mobile learning affordances in the design of the course and curriculum.
Performance tests of geodetic receivers with tilt sensors in obstructed environments using the NRTK GNSS technique

Abstract
The Department of Lands (DOL), Thailand, has adopted the Network-based Real-Time Kinematic (NRTK) Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) surveying technique using a Virtual Reference Station (VRS) to support cadastral surveys since 2011. Determining accurate coordinates of parcel boundary markers at building corners or near fences and walls is difficult because a GNSS range pole cannot be leveled with a circular bubble. This study aims to evaluate the performance of the receivers equipped with tilt sensors for horizontal and vertical positioning. Two types of tilt sensors used for evaluation were a magnetometer and micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) and an inertial measurement unit (IMU). Conducting the NRTK GNSS surveying tests was based on the pole tilt angles of 0°, 15°, 25°, 35°, and 45° from a plumb line in controlled and obstructed environments. The IMU-based tilt sensor had more advantage of accurately positioning over the MEMS sensor. The results showed that using the IMU, better than 4 cm horizontal positioning accuracy was achievable when the pole was tilted by 15° or less under non-multipath and open-sky conditions. The vertical accuracy was of a few centimeter levels and least sensitive to tilt angles using either type of sensor. However, none of the sensors precisely compensated for pole tilt in strong-multipath and complex environments, causing increased horizontal errors in decimeter levels.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Generally, the major problems of moisture damage are caused by wetting, and particularly in construction, which has led to extensive research for the production of hydrophobic (anti-wetting) coatings. The aim of this research is to prepare an anti-wetting (hydrophobic) nanocomposite coating for different construction surfaces (ceramic, brick and gypsum). Hydrophobic nanocomposite coating was synthesized using electrospinning technique. Polymethyl methacrylate and polystyrene (PS) solutions were prepared in different ratios and then separately reinforced with ZrO2 and ZnO nanoparticles. Contact angle, surface roughness, surface free energy and weathering effects were calculated for all specimens after being coated. All previously selected materials surfaces showed superhydrophobic and hydrophobic properties. The best results were obtained on ceramic surfaces after coating with PS/ZrO2. The water contact angle was 153° while the surface roughness was 0.491 µm and also showed the lowest surface free energy which was 5.5 mJ/m2. Weathering conditions tend to decrease the values of contact angle and this is due to the environmental effect of the weathering but they still have their hydrophobic properties. SEM test was used to determine the surface morphology and nanoparticle size for ceramic surfaces coated with PS and nano-ZrO2.

Abstract
This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the correlation between early-life antibiotic use and allergic rhinitis. PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases were searched for available studies. Eighteen studies covering 1,768,874 children were included. Early-life antibiotics were associated with an increased incidence of allergic rhinitis (effect size (ES) = 5.00, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.88–5.13; I
2 = 95.7%, P
heterogeneity <0.001). In Asia, Europe, and the USA, the incidence of allergic rhinitis in the antibiotic group was higher than that in the no medication group (Asia: ES = 3.68, 95% CI: 3.38–4.01; Europe: ES = 3.20, 95% CI: 3.00–3.42; USA: ES = 3.68, 95% CI: 2.74–4.95). Compared with the no medication group, children who received antibiotics in the first 1 week of life (ES = 5.75, 95% CI: 2.18–15.18), first 1 year of life (ES = 3.37, 95% CI: 3.20–3.55; I
2 = 64.2%, P
heterogeneity = 0.001), or first 3 years of life (ES = 5.21, 95% CI: 2.42–11.19) had a higher incidence of allergic rhinitis. No individual study influenced the estimates of the meta-analysis. The funnel plot showed moderate symmetry and low publication bias. In conclusion, the use of antibiotics in early life was associated with allergic rhinitis. Still, most included studies analyzed antibiotic exposure as a dichotomous variable, without information on the type and dosage of antibiotics.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
The optimization of the fluorescence enhancement factor of the IgG-FITC conjugate as an immunofluorescent marker, depending on the optical and topographic parameters of the colloidal silver film on the surface of a polystyrene plate for immunoassay, was carried out for the first time, and the factors effecting the enhancement were identified. By means of time-resolved spectroscopy as well as by detection the relative concentrations of IgG-FITC adsorbed on the solid phase with enzyme-linked immunoassay, it was shown that fluorescence enhancement in the presence of silver nanoparticles is a resonance process associated with plasmon effects. The most important parameters correlating with the fluorescence enhancement factor are the optical density value at the wavelength of excitation and emission of the fluorophore. The maximum enhancement factor of 10.2 times was obtained for Ag films with the highest optical density.
A short survey of key silage-making practices on Northern Ireland dairy farms, and farmer perceptions of factors influencing silage quality
Authors: Ferris C.P. , Laidlaw A.S. , Wylie A.R.G. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractNorthern Ireland dairy farmers (n = 174) were surveyed to identify key silage-making practices, and factors perceived to influence the quality of grass silage made on their farms. The majority of farmers (65%) harvested grass for silage three times/year: 62% normally used a contractor, while 47% routinely used a silage additive. Delays to mowing and delays to harvesting due to adverse weather or poor ground conditions were perceived to have a large or very large impact on silage quality (68% and 53% of farmers, respectively). Inadequate wilting, poor-quality swards on owned land, on rented land and “contamination” of first-cut grass with autumn or winter growth herbage were all perceived as having a large or very large impact on silage quality (32%, 27%, 40%, 30% of farmers, respectively). Over the previous decade, 11%, 41% and 37% of farmers claimed a small, moderate or large improvement in silage quality, mainly due to earlier cutting of grass and ensiling better quality swards.

Authors: Cifuentes Cifuentes Mery Yolanda , Gómez Aristizábal Linda Stefany , Pinilla Bermúdez Gladys , Cruz Cruz , Navarrete Jeannette 
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Congenital syphilis is a major public health problem, and early diagnosis and treatment are necessary to prevent it. Penicillin G benzathine is the treatment of choice in pregnant women; however, it may fail to prevent fetal infection, as in the present case.
Case presentation: Male newborn, son of an HIV negative mother with gestational syphilis (venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL) 1:4 dilution, positive treponemal test) diagnosed at week 21 of gestation and treated with three doses of 2 400 000 IU of penicillin G benzathine. At delivery, the mother presented VDRL 1:1 dilution. The newborn was diagnosed with congenital syphilis due to VDRL 1:4 dilution, positive treponemal test, elevated aspartate aminotransferases, hyposthenuria, proteinuria, hematuria, and leukocyturia that resolved after treatment with crystalline penicillin for 10 days. The molecular testing in blood showed a high treponemal load. The VDRL test at 3 months was non-reactive.
Conclusions: Preventing congenital syphilis with the recommended treatment for gestational syphilis may fail. Moreover, diagnosing this condition in an asymptomatic newborn is difficult. Therefore, clinical and serological tests are recommended to confirm whether maternal treatment was effective in the fetus.
Study on the thermal conductivity and density of foam glass
Authors: Osfouri Masoud , Simon Andrea 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This paper focuses on the relationship between the composition of foam glass and its thermal conductivity and density. In this experimental research, three levels of glass particle size and foaming agent (SiC) quantity were tested. The results showed that the thermal conductivity increased by increasing the ratio of fine glass particles. On the contrary, the thermal conductivity was not affected by changing the foaming agent weight ratio. The density of foam glass increased by decreasing the foaming agent ratio, and there was no linear relation between the size of glass particles and the density of foam glass.

A tsunami due to the GAK flank collapse occurred along the Sunda Strait Coast on December 22, 2018, with areas severely hit including Labuan and Carita Districts on the coast of Pandeglang Regency. The disaster resulted in the death of 431 people, more than 7200 injured and 46,646 people lost their homes. To anticipate the number of disaster casualties, disaster mitigation efforts are carried out using network analysis applications from GIS (Geographical Information Systems) software. The data used in the network analysis process is road data obtained from the Open Street Map in 2019 and supported by wave propagation and speed time to TES. This study used a walking speed of 0.751 m/second for elderly people. The results of the network analysis process showed the best route to the proposed Temporary Evacuation Shelter (TES). There are eight proposed TES in Carita District from which seven are located on Raya Anyer Sirih Street and another one is located on Perintis Kemerdekaan. The number of residents in each area segment in the proposed TES is between 179 and 2,677 people. Yet, there are four existing TES units in Carita District located on Perintis Kemerdekaan Street. In Labuan District, one TES unit is proposed, which has the capacity of up to 4,376 people. Meanwhile, its existing TES is in the form of a Tsunami Shelter Building with a capacity of 23,635 people.
DESCARTES'TA 'DÜŞÜNÜYORUM' VE RUHUN VARLIĞININ ARGÜMANLARI
Authors: ÖZGÖKMAN Fatih 
Published: November 2022

ÖZ
Descartes, Meditasyonlar’da insan ruhunun veya zihninin bedenden ayrı olarak var olduğuna dair üç argüman sunar. Birincisinde “düşünüyorum o halde varım” ile var olmanın en temel biçiminin düşünmek yani kendisine dair bilinci olduğunu fark eder ve bunun şüphe götürmez kesinliğinden hareketle kendisinin diğer duyulur şeyler gibi şüphe götüren bedenden farklı olduğu sonucunu çıkarır. İkincisinde ise Descartes zihin ve bedenin kavramsal olarak birbirlerinden ayrı düşünülebilmesi nedeniyle gerçeklikte de ayrı olduklarını savunur. Çünkü düşüncemizin gerçekliğe uymaması için bir gerekçe yoktur. Üçüncüsünde ise Descartes, Platoncu ruhun basitliği argümanına baş vurur. Buna göre ruh tüm zihinsel faaliyetlerinde bölünemez iken beden uzamlı olduğu için bölünebilir ve bu nedenle de eksilebilir. Halbuki bedenin eksilmesiyle ruhta hiçbir eksilme ortaya çıkmaz. Bu durum ruhun veya zihnin bedenden ayrı olduğunu ortaya koyar.

Published: November 2022

Nowadays, the use of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is increasingly growing as they allow a large number of applications. In a large scale sensor network, communication among sensors is achieved by using a multihop communication. However, since the sensor is limited by its resources, sensors' operating systems are developed in order to optimize the management of these resources, especially the power consumption. Therefore, the hybrid operating system Contiki uses a low consumption layer called Rime which allows sensors to perform multihop sending with a low energy cost. This is favored by the implementation of lightweight processes called protothreads. These processes have a good efficiency/consumption ratio for monolithic tasks, but the management of several tasks remains a problem. In order to enable multitasking, Contiki provides to users a preemptive multithreading module that allows the management of multiple threads. However, it usually causes greater energy wastage. To improve multithreading in sensor networks, a Multithreading Model for an Efficient Data Delivery (MMEDD) using protothreads is proposed in this paper. Intensive experiments have been conducted on COOJA simulator that is integrated in Contiki. The results show that MMEDD provides better ratio message reception rate/energy consumption than other architectures.

A THEORETICAL MODEL FOR DESCRIPTION OF WORK FUNCTION LOWERING FOR SEMICONDUCTOR / INSULATOR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE CHARGED BILAYER IN THE SURFACE REGION
Authors: Strikha M. V. , Goriachko A. M. 
Published: November 2022

We develop a simple theoretical model, connecting a lowering of the electron affinity of a semiconductor (or insulator) with such parameters as the density of surface charge, localized on surface states or adsorbed atoms, and the volume density of charge within the space charge region, both of which form a charged bilayer on the surface. Our model allows to estimate the perspectiveness of various materials as films for creating modern photocathodes or effective field emission cathodes with substantially lowered or zero work function.
