Published: May 2022

Given a configuration of a nuclear reactor core, the neutronic distribution of the power can beapproximated by means of the multigroup neutron diffusion equation. This is an approximationof the neutron transport equation that assumes that the neutron current is proportional to thegradient of the scalar neutron ux with a diffusion coeffcient [1]. This approximation is known asthe Fick's first law. To define the steady-state problem, the criticality of the system must be forced.In this work, the -modes problem is used. That yields a generalized eigenvalue problem whoseeigenvector associated with the dominant eigenvalue represents the distribution of the neutron uxin steady-state.The spatial discretization of the equation is made by a continuous Galerkin high order finite elementmethod is applied [2] to obtain an algebraic eigenvalue problem. Usually, the matrices obtainedfrom the discretization are huge and sparse. Moreover, they have a block structure given by the different number of energy groups. In this work, block strategies are developed to optimize thecomputation of the associated eigenvalue problems.First, different block eigenvalue solvers are studied. On the other hand, the convergence of theseiterative methods mainly depends on the initial guess and the preconditioner used. In this sense,different multilevel techniques to accelerate the rate of convergence are proposed. Finally, the sizeof the problems can be suffciently large to be unfeasible to be solved in personal computers. Thus,a matrix-free methodology that avoids the allocation of the matrices in memory is applied [3].Three-dimensional benchmarks are used to show the effciency of the methodology proposed.REFERENCES[1] Stacey, W.

Authors: Niceta Wanja Ireri  
Published: May 2022

This paper examines the severity level of anxiety and social skills deficits among children living with Autism among two schools in Nairobi County. Parents and teachers of 40 children and adolescents aged between 5-21 years old were used to conducting the assessment. Social skills deficits (SRS-2) and anxiety (CASI) questionnaires were used in data collection. The quasi-experimental study then involved a follow-up six months after data collection before conducting a statistical analysis. The results depict a significant decline in social skills represented by p=0.006 (95% C.I 4.97, 27.8). However, anxiety treatment was found to be not substantial even though the p-value = 0.002 was less than the significant level. The study concluded that the effect of ASD is real and can be treated. It requires being addressed as early as possible in the affected persons to allow them to achieve their full potential in life. The results provide essential insights into ASD and mental health. This paper adds to knowledge on ASD and anxiety and social skills and common comorbid disorders. The study recommended that the effect of ASD is real and can be treated. It requires being addressed as early as possible in the affected persons to allow them to achieve their full potential in life. The results provide essential insights into ASD and mental health.

Published: May 2022

This study sought to determine the Effect of Recruitment and deployment practices on the Performance of Healthcare Workers, a case of Nursing officers, Ministry of Health, Nyeri County in Kenya. Various organisations employ different human resources initiatives to increase efficiency. The most common initiatives employed to improve efficiency include performance contracts, internal contracting, contracting-out and outsourcing of services, among others. Employing such initiatives are considered among the primary Human Resource Management (HRM) practices, which are aimed at determining the equilibrium between workforce supply and the ability of healthcare practitioners to practise effectively and efficiently to ensure improved and quality care in healthcare systems. This study adopted a cross-sectional descriptive research design. The respondents constituted all nursing staff and managers in Nyeri County health facilities and at the County Director’s Office. Stratified random sampling was used to come up with a sample of 248 respondents. Data was collected using a questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used in the analysis of data with the help of SPSS 23. Chi-square analysis was used to establish relationships. The researcher found that recruitment processes in Nyeri County comprised internships (f=109, 44%) and field placements (f=82, 33%). Selections were made via individual interviews (f=225, 91%), while job orientation (f=237, 96%) was the main technique. The researchers found that there were gaps in the deployment practices with a mean value of 2.73, SD=1.132. Deployment in some departments was deemed disciplinary action (M=3.09, SD=1.325), and managers response to deployment needs per department or ward or facility (M=3.07, SD=1.218) were rated to a moderate extent. The study concluded that recruitment does not affect the performance of health workers. Although the county was found to use only a few recruitments, selection and orientation approaches and techniques, this did not affect the Healthcare Workers. The study further concluded that deployment practices do not affect the performance of Healthcare Workers.

Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a digital version of a patient paper chart which has become a necessary component of healthcare in developed countries. However for Africa, it is until recent years in this millennium that health facilities began using HER. Few healthcare facilities in Sub Sahara Africa have adopted the use of EHRs while in East Africa, implementation began with hospitals who were running specific programs. Use of EHRs was implemented in Kenya in 2001 and Tenwek hospital initiated it in 2013 and by 2014 there was full transition from use of paper charts to completely paperless system. Since then, there is no study that has been done to determine its impact on medical education, precisely, internship program at Tenwek Hospital. The objectives of this study was to: Find out if use of EHRs fosters or hinders medical education for interns, Determine the implications of EHRs use on the MO and CO interns’ ability to apply critical thinking for clinical judgement and decision making, describe the challenges experienced by the MO and CO interns, regarding the use of EHRs and to Suggest recommendations regarding use of EHRs that can enhance the learning experience for medical and clinical officer interns at Tenwek Hospital. This was a qualitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted at Tenwek hospital in Bomet County, Kenya. The study population was composed of purposively sampled: 4 Consultants from Surgery, Medicine, Paediatrics and OB/Gyn respectively, One Interns Coordinator, 5 Medical Officers and 5 clinical Officers who completed Internship at Tenwek in the last one year. Both trainers and trainees reported positive implications of EHRs use to include; easy retrieval of information, enhanced ability for clinical judgement and decision making among others, as well as well and negative implications such as temptation to copy-paste, procrastination and reduced trainee-patient interaction time. Use of EHRs impacts the internship learning both positively and negatively as implied by both the trainees and teachers, however, the factors that enhance learning outweigh those that hinder the same.

Degenerative disease is a disease that accompanies the aging process this disease occurs with age. Degenerative disease is a medical term used to describe a process of decline in nerve cell function without a known cause, from a previous normal state to a worse state. Several types of degenerative diseases include: osteoporosis, stroke, heart disease, gout, DM, cholesterol, obesity, etc. One of the causes of degenerative diseases is due to the acquisition of micro and macro nutrients that are not balanced. The wrong diet increases the risk of this disease. From the several types of diseases above, we can conclude that most of them are influenced by food consumption. People are now fond of consuming foods high in fat such as fried foods, junk food, instant foods. The purpose of this study was to see the relationship between respondent characteristics, nutritional status and degenerative diseases. This research is a cross sectional study, with the population as the target group of Posbindu activities at the Curug Health Center, Serang Regency, Banten and the number of samples is 124 elderly. The results showed that the majority of respondents were elderly 60-69 years as much as 78.2%. The majority of respondents have nutritional status with BMI in the normal category as much as 66.1%. Normal blood pressure (as much as 46.8% for systolic pressure and 45.2% for diastolic pressure). The respondent's cholesterol, blood sugar and uric acid levels are in normal conditions but must remain vigilant. There is no significant relationship between BMI (nutritional status) with age, sex, and systolic blood pressure. There is a significant relationship between systolic and diastolic blood pressure on age and gender in the elderly at the Curug Health Center, Serang Banten.

“They will have an abundance”
Authors: Blumberg Ilana M. 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Investigating the short period between 1840 and 1842, I explore the immediate causes and specific expressions of Mary Ann Evans’s apostasy within the context of her family and larger religious culture in England. Seemingly overnight, Mary Ann moved decisively from the intense evangelical affiliation of more than a decade as well as the familial Anglican identity of her entire life to critical freethinking. The intellectual tussle of the times was not inevitably weighted toward the loss of faith; many thinkers found habitable places that supported rational, scientific, and tolerant perspectives among a broad array of Christian communities. Mary Ann Evans’s decision cannot simply be read as an account of “progress.” I suggest that the transformation was the first of a set of life-changing decisions that she tended to describe in terms of sacrifice, but also in terms less native to her: those of freedom and relief for a mind gifted by abundant understanding.
Student Achievement Factors in a College Introductory Computer Course
Authors: Boughton Willis L. 
Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT
Custom software was used to collect data for 416 students over multiple semesters of a college introductory computer transfer course. The objective was to quantitatively identify achievement factors and corresponding actions to be taken to improve student achievement. Student activity data were exam review time, time spent on assignments, attendance, and Student Response System (SRS) use. Data on specific student skills were obtained from answers to assessment questions. Regression analysis shows that attendance, SRS use, time spent on assignments, and time spent on exam reviews do not significantly affect achievement. Score on assessment questions requiring basic math skill and score on questions requiring skill in observation and written explanation of classroom demonstrations do significantly affect achievement. So does score on questions repeated from one exam to the next, but contrary to intuition, the overall effect of these repeated questions is to lower student achievement. A regression model using only these three factors plus percentage of assignments done predicts student achievement to within half a letter grade. Improving student skill in basic math provides the greatest opportunity to improve student achievement. Successful and unsuccessful students are exclusive groups; unsuccessful students are not “partially” successful.
Influence of mucosal tissue thickness on placement of implant at crestal, sub-crestal and supra-crestal level
Authors: Raj A. I. , Agrawal Aditya , Jayanthi L , Manikandhan R. 
Published: May 2022

Introduction: Dental implants are preferred for replacing missing tooth. They form sturdy connection to bone by osseointegration. During this, bone remodelling occurs which results in bone loss. Expected normal bone loss is 0.5 mm to 1 mm. Crestal bone level is the important factor in long term implant stability and success. According to studies if mucosal tissues are thinned to <2 mm, there is significant crestal bone resorption, compared with implants placed with >2mm thickness. Linkevicious et al. performed clinical controlled study and confirmed same. Many recent studies have similar results. This literature review is framed to understand the effect of mucosal thickness on Sub-crestal, Supra-crestal and Crestal level of implant placement & its relation to amount of crestal bone loss. Aim: To evaluate how effect of mucosal tissue thickness at crestal bone level around dental implant. Methodology: Literature was selected by searching in online journals. Keywords used were “dental implants”, “vertical mucosal thickness”, “peri-implant tissues, “crestal-bone loss”, “marginal-bone loss”, “implant-abutment interface”, “biologic width”. Articles published in English Language was selected from year 1992-2019. Rationale/Hypothesis: Recent clinical researches proved that soft tissue thickness is an important factor in preserving crestal bone around implants.
Right to health with special reference to healthy environment
Authors: Mathew Shinsa P , Balu N 
Published: May 2022

Public health is the most relevant area of discussion of all times. This paper analyses the relation between health rights and environmental protection. There are no direct provisions under Part III of the Indian Constitution related to Health and the Environment. Thus, judicial interpretations accommodating Health and Clean Environment under Article 21 are examined. The nexus between public health and the environment is cross-checked with empirical data. The role of the judiciary in emphasising health and environmental rights is noteworthy. The constitutional interpretations and judicial recommendations paved way for legislative actions in these areas. The environmental legislations mostly give importance to public health along with environmental protection. Analysing the environmental laws, it is evident that the principle behind all those legislations is public health concerns. The role of NGT is remarkable in serving environmental justice. There is always a conflict between public health, environmental protection, and development which is hard to solve. In the light of the hardships faced by COVID-19, it is evident that environment and human health is closely related and only by giving importance to environmental protection, public health can be ensured.
study on impact of community participation on health care promotion of Barpeta District of Assam
Authors: Das Suchitra 
Published: May 2022

Health is an important element of human development. India to arrive WHO’s slogan ‘Health for All’ amongst different ways also included community participation as an important tool to arrive health issues from the grass root level. Community participation and its important role on health is found in different studies for different parts of India, while with respect of Assam a very less studies were there. The present study is an attempt to find how far community participation was successful to promote health particularly of the Barpeta district of Assam. The study took the participation of members of panchayats in health care activities as the community participation. Mean health participation index and mean awareness score on 0 to 1 scale is calculated to examine community participation on health development. It is found from the study that community participation on health had positive linkages with the increase in awareness of the members of the panchayats about the available health care services and their roles and functions on delivery of health services. Absense of proper guidelines for health partcipation, lack of proper coordination among the panchyat members and district health centres etc, lead to absentia nature of health participation of panchayts.
