Clean water is one of the significant goals among the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which will be achieved by at least 2030. It includes six outcome-oriented targets- improve water quality, wastewater treatment, ensure freshwater supplies are three of them. In Bangladesh, Freshwater ecosystem is continuously degraded due to rapid industrialization, which occurred along the riverside areas. In this context, laboratory-based work has been conducted to analyze the water quality of Dhaleshwari River, Bangladesh, which has already been polluted by industrial waste. The collected water samples were treated by submerged macrophyte Egeria densa to observe the changing water quality parameters. The growth of plants and roots were assessed after 10 days of exposure to three categories of water treatment. Initial and final water quality parameters were observed by the analysis of pH, EC, TDS, TSS, Acidity, Alkalinity, Total Hardness, Ca Hardness, COD, Sulphate (SO42-), Phosphate (PO43) Total Chlorine (Cl-) and Copper (Cu2+). The result showed that almost all the toxic parameters of water were reduced significantly at the end of the experiment. The present study hypothesized that submerged macrophyte E. densa can be used as a potential tool to upgrade the water quality of polluted rivers.Keyword: Clean water, Submerged macrophyte, SDG 6, Dhaleswari River, Freshwater ecosystem

Teaching vocabulary items in corpus-based wordlists to university students: comparing the effectiveness of digital and paper-based flashcards
Authors: Xodabande Ismail , Asadi Vahid , Valizadeh Mohammadreza 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The present study explored the relative effectiveness of digital flashcards used on smartphone devices when compared with traditional paper-based materials in teaching vocabulary items from recently developed corpus-based general and academic word lists. The participants were 71 English as a foreign language (EFL) students studying at two universities in Iran. Following an initial assessment of vocabulary knowledge (i.e., pretest), the participants were assigned into experimental and control learning conditions based on their own preferences. Those participants in the experimental group used flashcard applications with built-in spaced repetition technology to learn 1,600 general services and 963 academic words. Those in the control group employed traditional paper-based flashcards to learn the same words. The treatment lasted for around five months, and to document learning gains, the participants’ vocabulary knowledge was measured at the end of the academic semester (i.e., posttest). Additionally, a follow-up delayed posttest was administered after around four months to investigate the delayed effects of the treatments. Statistical analysis of the scores obtained by the participants on the vocabulary knowledge tests revealed a main effect for time in both learning conditions. The results also indicated a main effect for learning vocabulary with digital flashcards on mobile devices, and the participants in the experimental group outperformed those in the control group in the posttests and delayed posttests. The study provided empirical evidence for the affordances of smartphone devices and digital flashcards for scaffolding significant developments in the vocabulary knowledge of EFL learners, highlighting a number of implications for teaching/learning vocabulary items in corpus-based word lists to university students.

Im „Wirbel des Seins“. Die Geburt der Geburt der Tragödie aus dem Geiste Friedrich Hebbels
Authors: Zittel Claus 
Published: December 2022

Abstract

In the “Whirl of Being.” The Birth of
The Birth of Tragedy
from the Spirit of Friedrich Hebbel. As a result of dubious editorial policy, Nietzsche research has always dealt only with the text of the later editions of The Birth of Tragedy from 1874/78 and 1886, in the erroneous assumption that these largely resemble the first printing. Surprisingly, the 1872 edition is therefore virtually unknown. It does, however, show significant differences from the later editions, especially since it exhibits a strong influence of Hebbel’s tragic worldview that is later obscured in favor of Wagner. The first edition is more nihilistic, poetic, and powerful; Nietzsche’s later revisions have rather diluted the Birth of Tragedy’s argument and given it a different direction.
“I’m Gonna Dedicate This One to Miss Franklin”
Authors: Dromgoole Ambre 
Published: December 2022

This article uses Joseph Roach’s concept of performance genealogy, the constitutive nature of memory and surrogation that takes place at the site of performance, to examine the passing of the peace that took place at Aretha Franklin’s funeral, at which singers Fantasia Barrino and Jennifer Hudson performed. Barrino and Hudson’s voices, movement, and physical comportment echo the Baptist and Holiness-Pentecostal, or Sanctified, environments that Franklin first encountered as a child and that she continued to reflect throughout her life. But to hear these resonances, it is necessary to differentiate them from Afro-Protestant settings that are often collapsed into monolithic representations of a singular “Black church.”
I specify how scholars hear Black women’s voices by showing that Barrino’s and Hudson’s particularities emanate certain characteristics of Franklin, enough to summon memories but not to mimic. Learning to hear individual Black women’s voices within a performance genealogy demands perceiving the different genres of spiritual theater that require different techniques of voice and presence. Seeing the distinctions among her inheritors allows scholars, audiences, and critics alike to perceive the theatrical education in Black sonic creation and makes possible representing Aretha Franklin’s artistic and interpretive brilliance. Ultimately, I argue that in order to respect Aretha Franklin, we must heed her assertion that there is in fact only one Aretha Franklin who is the sum of several social and spiritual worlds that inspired her artistic interpretations and that those in her lineage are not homogenous representations but share in her multitudes.
Riesgo y peligro en los trastornos del juego: discursos sobre la ludopatía
Authors: Salvador-Liern Vicent , Kotátková Adéla 
Published: December 2022

Inicialmente confrontamos la idea de riesgo con la de peligro en el ámbito del juego de azar: en el marco de una teoría de la acción, arriesgarse implica asumir una apuesta que puede ganarse o perderse, tal como en los negocios o en los retos que asumen los héroes legendarios. Esa es la principal base de atracción de los jugadores por apostar, como estudió el sociólogo Ervin Goffman. Ahora bien, la ludopatía es un trastorno mental-conductual que comporta peligros: adicción al juego incontrolado con consecuencias personales nefastas.
La metodología aplicada examina tres tipos de discursos sociales: regulativos (legales, administrativos, etc.) por los que se reglamenta el juego en España; endógenos (testimonio de los protagonistas de este trastorno); exógenos (representaciones sociales en la literatura, el cine o la publicidad). Proponemos la tesis de que la seducción del riesgo inmoderado pone en peligro la salud mental de los jugadores compulsivos y es un trauma social que los lobbies fomentan y las administraciones públicas intentan controlar en el marco de una lucha de poderes.
Por otra parte, constatamos que los datos relativos a la legislación española respecto al juego se han modificado durante los últimos meses y que en algunos aspectos su aplicación está todavía en proceso actualmente.

Solid oxide fuel cells are promising hydrogen energy devices. The goal of this research was to create ceramic layers for SOFCs based on yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and to investigate their parameters. YSZ ceramic layers with a thickness of 5.14 μm on a porous NiO–YSZ substrate and 7 μm on pyrolytic graphite were obtained by electrophoretic deposition. X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy were used to determine the composition, structure, and morphological features of ceramic layers. The effects of the substrate's nature, the degree of dispersion of the initial YSZ powder, and the heat treatment conditions on the properties of the ceramic layer YSZ were considered.

Published: December 2022

Objective. To identify and map the types of analysis in nursing validation studies.
Methods. This is a scoping review with collection carried out in July 2020. The following data extraction indicators were considered: year of publication, country of origin, type of study, level of evidence, scientific references for validation and types of analyses. Data were collected in the following bases: U.S. National Library of Medicine, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, SCOPUS, COCHRANE, Web of Science, PSYCHINFO, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, CAPES Theses and Dissertation Portal, Education Resources Information Center, The National Library of Australia's Trobe, Academic Archive Online, DART-Europe E-Theses Portal, Electronic Theses Online Service, Open Access Scientific Repository of Portugal, National ETD Portal, Theses Canada, Theses and dissertations from Latin America.
Results. The sample consisted of 881 studies, with a predominance of articles (841; 95.5%), with a prevalence of publications in 2019 (152;17.2%), of Brazilian origin (377; 42.8%), of the methodological study type (352; 39.9%). Polit and Beck stood out as the methodological reference (207; 23.5%) and Cronbach&#39;s Alpha (421; 47.8%) as the statistical test. Regarding the type of analysis, the exploratory factor analysis and the content validation index stood out.
Conclusion. The use of at least one method of analysis was evident in more than half of the studies, which implied the need to carry out several statistical tests in order to evaluate the validation of the instrument used and show its reliability

Published: December 2022

Objective. The work sought to determine the effect of the risk factors, fear, and concern on self-care regarding COVID- 19 in people in pre-elderly and elderly stages.
Methods. Correlational-predictive study, gathered through convenience sampling. The study applied the scale of fear of COVID-19 (Huarcaya et al.), the scale of concern about COVID-19(Ruíz et al.,), and the scale of self-care during the COVID-19 confinement (Martínez et al.,). Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied as the mediation model based on regression.
Results. The study had the participation of 333 people, with the majority being women (73.9%). Correlation was found between self-care with the scores from the scale of fear (r = -0.133, p &lt;0.05) and of concern (r = -0.141, p&lt;0.05) regarding COVID-19. The direct effect of the model wasc’ = 0.16, [95% BCa CI = -0.28, -0.09]. The standardized value for the indirect effect was estimated as c = -0.14, [95%BCa CI=-0.23,-0.09]), which shows existence of a 14.0% effect of the mediating variable on self-care conducts in the prediction model.
Conclusion. A direct effect exists of risk factors for COVID-19 complication on self-care, mediated by concern and fear, besides explaining by 14% the self-care conducts for COVID-19. Recommendation is made to address other emotional variables to consider if these increase the prediction.

Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of the application of an educational program based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) in Adopting Preventive Behaviors from Self- Medication among Women in Iran.
Methods. Interventional study with pre and post phases. 200 women referring to the health centers of Urmia were selected by simple random sampling, divided into two groups of treatment and control. Data collection instruments were researcher- devised questionnaire including the questionnaire of Knowledge of Self-medication, the Questionnaire of Preventive Behaviors from Self medication, and the questionnaire of Health Belief Model. The questionnaires were assessed for expert validity and then, were checked for reliability. The educational intervention was conducted for the treatment group during four weeks four 45-minute sessions.
Results. The average scores of knowledge, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, cues to action, self-efficiency, and post-intervention performance in have increased in treatment group, comparing to the control group, All findings were statistically significant (p<0.05). Furthermore, social media, doctors, and disbelief in self- medication were more effective in increasing awareness and encouraging to have proper medication, also, the highest self-medication was in taking pain-relievers, cold tablets and antibiotics, which showed significant decrease in treatment group after the intervention.
Conclusion. The educational program based on Health Belief Model was effective in reducing the self-medication among the studied women. Furthermore, it is recommended to use social media and doctors to improve the awareness and motivation among people. Thus, applying the educational programs and plans according to the Health Belief Model can be influential in reducing the self-medication.

Published: December 2022

Objective. This study aims to understand how adult men adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods. Qualitative study involving 45 adult men residing in Brazil in 2020. Data were obtained from a Web Survey and treated using Reflective Thematic Analysis and interpreted in the light of Callista Roy's Adaptation Model.
Results. The COVID-19 pandemic mobilized in men the ways of adaptation that are configured in: mobilization of the physiological-physical and regulatory dimension: adjustments in the sleep pattern, dietary pattern, and maintenance of physical activity; group self-concept identity: managing emotions; role function: self-knowledge and self-care; interdependence: adjustments in the marital relationship, family ties and paternity, investment in training and studies and control of excessive consumption of content on cell phones.
Conclusion. The perception of the own vulnerability favored the entry of men into ways of adaptation in search of balance during the pandemic, motivating them to move through practices of taking care of themselves and taking care of others. Markers of psycho-emotional distress alert to adherence to new modes of care capable of promoting healthy ransitions in the face of disruptions and uncertainties generated by the pandemic. This evidence can support the establishment of goals for nursing care aimed at men.
Discrete Wavelet Transform based Cryptosystem
Authors: H Soumya Babu , N Vijayakumar , K Gopakumar. 
Published: December 2022

In this article, the authors proposed, implemented and analysed a symmetric key cryptographic algorithm that can be considered as a lossless encryption and decryption technique, advantageous especially in situations where, even a slight marginal distortion is not tolerable. In the proposed system, Haar wavelet is used initially, to transform the original target image into its frequency domain, followed by encrypting the resulting sub-bands, so as to obtain a secure and reliable encrypted image. The resulting coefficients after Haar decomposition is scattered using a reversible weighing factor, suitably reversed and swapped to get the secure encrypted image. The encrypted image is then correspondingly decrypted, by the reverse process to get back the original decrypted image. Statistical testing and security methods were used to evaluate and analyse the proposed cryptosystem and the results showed that the proposed system is cryptographically resistant to attacks and is also highly secure when compared to other cryptographic systems in the frequency domain.
Expanding Nursing Faculty Development Through a Fitness Initiative
Authors: Walker Crystal , Humphrey Sally , Chandler Vicki 
Published: December 2022

Background: Prioritizing fitness in the workplace can aid in promoting a more contemporary view of faculty development. As a result, a workplace fitness initiative was developed in a Southern college of nursing to address the physical activity of faculty and staff during work hours and to promote a more contemporary view of faculty development.
Aim: This study examined perceptions of the fitness initiative and explored opportunities for improvement.
Methods: Faculty and staff completed a survey about the fitness initiative including perceptions of workplace fitness, motivation to join, most enjoyable aspects of the fitness initiative, and opportunities for improvement. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and qualitative responses were coded and analyzed using thematic content analysis.
Results: One hundred percent of survey respondents (n = 35) believed in the importance of workplace fitness. Four themes were identified related to the perception of workplace fitness: workplace fitness can increase self-reported movement and productivity and support personal goals. Survey respondents also appreciated the comradery, connection, and team-building that the initiative created. However, time was a barrier to engagement.
Conclusion: As nurses are urged to model health-promoting behaviors, a college fitness initiative should be considered for encouraging and normalizing workplace fitness and promoting a more contemporary view of faculty development that focuses on factors outside the traditional faculty role. Our fitness initiative demonstrated that such programs are feasible, well-accepted, promote fitness in physical or virtual workplaces, and help to build connection and comradery among faculty and staff.

Authors: Umar Wahyudi , Kurrahman Taufik 
Published: December 2022

Transboundary pollution is part of air pollution originating from other countries has an impact on areas that are under the jurisdiction of other countries, The seasonal haze affected the health quality of ASEAN, it is evident that every time a forest fire occurs, the population with respiratory problems increases, including psychological stress. The objective of this paper is to investigate the problems and challenges that ATHP faces. It elaborates on the factors that contributed to LRTAP's relative success. It also analyzes and describes the measures taken in relation to the ATHP and compares its efficacy to LRTAP. The study used empirical-normative research method sourcing from literatures and journals. The study shows that ASEAN formed the Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution (ATHP) which has the aim of being a body that works to reduce and suppress air pollution in the ASEAN region, framed within the 1979 Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution (LRTAP). In comparison to LRTAP, the aforementioned can be offered as a means of recommendation for the success of the AATHP. It is measurable that the importance placed on contribution, cooperation, scrutiny, democracy, and transparency in the agreement was a contributing factor in LRTAP's success.
