Nurses' and patients' experiences of family planning services in a rural district, South Africa.

Family planning (FP) is a key component of primary health care (PHC). Nurses are the first source of FP information to women outside their social context. There is a paucity of research regarding clients' lived experiences of FP, particularly understanding both the client's and the healthcare worker's experiences in the same clinical context and community. This study aims to explore the lived experiences of nurses and female clients regarding FP services at PHC clinics. Two PHC clinics in a rural sub-district in South Africa. A descriptive qualitative study using semi-structured interviews was conducted. Clients and nurses were selected using criterion-based purposive sampling and interviewed by female research assistants in a home language in a private setting. Transcription and translation of audio recordings were done. Data were analysed inductively using the framework method. Ten clients and eight nurses were interviewed, with an equal number from each clinic. The median age of clients was 28.5 years and of nurses was 47.5 years. Four themes emerged: (1) Stigma, culture and the teenage girl; (2) Bad effects - the Big Five, clustered around weight changes, blood blockages and abnormal bleeding, pain, fertility and cancer; (3) FP social dynamics; and (4) FP and the health system. Family planning is highly moralised and stigmatised. Negative effects of FP were not adequately recognised by the health system. Family planning outreach into the community and dedicated FP resources at clinics were suggestions to improve the service.Contribution: This work helps to better understand patients' experiences of family planning services.

Event-triggered tracking control of uncertain [formula omitted]-normal nonlinear systems with full-state constraints

This paper investigates the tracking control problem of uncertain p-normal nonlinear systems with full-state constraints via event-triggered mechanism. By skillful constructing an adaptive dynamic gain and a time-varying event-triggered strategy, a state-feedback controller is proposed to achieve practical tracking. The adaptive dynamic gain is incorporated to deal with the system uncertainties and eliminate the bad effect of the sampling error. A rigorous Lyapunov stability analysis method is put forward to verify that all the closed-loop signals are uniformly bounded and the tracking error converges into a prescribed arbitrary accuracy, and full-state constraints are not violated. Compared with the existing event-triggered strategies, the proposed time-varying event-triggered strategy is low-complexity without designing the hyperbolic tangent function.

Impact Of Artificial Intelligence AI in Digital Marketing

In recent years, the field of digital marketing has seen a substantial impact from artificial intelligence (AI). Digital marketing methods that are more successful and efficient because of the use of AI have changed how firms communicate with their clients. The ability to collect and analyse vast volumes of data using AI-powered tools and technologies has improved marketers understanding of consumer behaviour and preferences. More personalized marketing initiatives have resulted from this, which are more likely to connect with consumers and increase conversion rates. Furthermore, AI has made it possible for companies to automate some marketing processes, including lead generation and customer support, freeing up resources and enabling marketers to concentrate on more complex duties. Aside from privacy issues, the use of AI in digital marketing also prompts worries about the possibility of biases being incorporated into the decision-making process. It will be crucial for marketers to carefully assess the ethical implications of AI use as it develops and try to reduce any bad effects. In general, AI has had a favourable impact on digital marketing, allowing companies to contact and interact with their target consumers more successfully.

By using the Literature Review method, the results obtained by the author are the implementation of the CSR programs which has become one of the most important drivers of the company's reputation. The CSR programs carried out are in accordance with the CSR principles that are sustainable, accountable and transparent. In addition, it also enhances the reputation and credibility of the company. The results of this moderation show how important it is for reputable business companies to consider CSR as the main factor influencing organizational commitment.

Socialization of the Bad Effects of Smoking on Youth in Mountainous Areas, India

The purpose of this research was to examine how well group outings can teach young people in hilly regions about the hazards of tobacco use. The research project included a wide range of educational events, such as seminars, workshops, and awareness campaigns, all aimed at spreading the word about the dangers of smoking. Fifty teenagers (15-24) from the mountains participated in this study. Knowledge and perspective about smoking were assessed by giving participants pre- and post-tests. The outcomes indicated that participants gained substantial knowledge and exhibited a positive attitude shift regarding smoking. Findings from the study point to the potential importance of socialization activities in reducing adolescent smoking in mountainous regions. As a result, it is suggested that similar campaigns be maintained in order to educate the younger generation on the dangers of smoking and encourage them to adopt better lifestyles.

Knock recognition of knock sensor signal based on wavelet transform and variational mode decomposition algorithm

Natural gas has become the most widely used alternative energy for engines because of its low emission pollution and sufficient energy reserve. In order to improve the thermal efficiency of the natural gas engine, it is necessary to increase the compression ratio, but knock restricts the increase of the engine compression ratio. The main knock detection method of engine is to use knock sensor. However, the body vibration detected by the knock sensor contains a lot of interference noise, which brings bad effect on the accuracy of knock detection. Thus, in this paper, a knock recognition method based on wavelet transform (WT) and variational mode decomposition (VMD) algorithm is proposed to process the knock sensor signal and extract the knock feature. Based on the test bench of natural gas engine, experimental investigation of knock combustion characteristics was conducted by adjusting the spark timing, and simultaneously collects cylinder pressure signal and knock sensor signal. Burg algorithm based on Auto-regressive (AR) model was used to extract the knock characteristic frequency of the research engine. Then, wavelet transform and variational mode decomposition algorithm were employed to process the knock sensor signal to remove the interference noise and extract the knock feature. Maximum amplitude of pressure oscillation (MAPO) was selected as the knock intensity evaluation index of cylinder pressure signal. Then, taking the evaluation result of the knock intensity of cylinder pressure signal as reference, the root-mean-square of the knock characteristic signal was used as knock intensity evaluation index of knock sensor signal to determine the knock intensity classification of the knock sensor signal. The results show that the proposed method can effectively extract the knock feature from the knock sensor signal and realize the accurate engine knock recognition. The recognition accuracy is higher than the most existing knock recognition methods.

Forms and Roles of Bismuth in Steel: A Review

In article number 2200625, Jian-bo Xie reviews the forms and roles of Bismuth in steel. Bismuth is used in free-cutting steels; however, the morphology of sulfide in steel has an effect on steel machinability. The morphologies of sulfides in as-cast steel were in clustering, spherical, ellipsoidal, and spindle shapes, while just the clustering sulfide has a bad effect on machinability. Most bismuth particles in steel are in isolated form, and others adhere to sulfides.

Socially optimal dosing for scarce vaccines: Ethical analysis through the principlism framework.

Under conditions of vaccine scarcity, the socially optimal dosing (SOD) strategy administers a lower dose of vaccine to a larger number of people than the individually optimal dosing (IOD) strategy, which administers a higher dose of vaccine to a smaller number of people. In the context of vaccines that generate diminishing returns of effectiveness with each additional dose beyond the first, SOD therefore generates a greater total amount of vaccine-induced protection than IOD and, as such, constitutes the socially optimal strategy. While the clinical and public health arguments in favour of SOD have previously been outlined, this article conducts an ethical analysis of SOD for scarce vaccines through the ethical framework of principlism. SOD is examined with regard to each principle within the principlism framework-nonmaleficence, beneficence, autonomy, and justice. SOD is found to satisfy each of the ethical requirements under examination. Regarding nonmaleficence, SOD induces less iatrogenic harm than IOD since the dose of vaccine administered to each individual is lower in the former than the latter. Furthermore, both the good and bad effects of SOD are foreseen while only the good effects are intended, meaning this strategy simultaneously satisfies the doctrine of double effect. Regarding autonomy, SOD makes vaccine-induced protection available to a greater number of individuals who wish to receive it, thereby respecting their capacity for self-determination and to make independent decisions. Regarding beneficence, SOD renders the good-namely the protection of health-more widely available to the individuals that constitute the population in question. Finally, SOD promotes theories of justice that treat individuals equally and is unlikely to reduce the effectiveness of other distribution policies that allocate scarce vaccines in a just manner. In conditions of vaccine scarcity, SOD favourably satisfies the ethical framework of principlism.

Biopesticide development & registration: challenges & strategies

United Nations Organization (UNO) has an agenda for 2030 for Sustainable Agriculture Development as a part of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It gives more attention to food security, regarding not only food availability but also food healthy and a friendly environment. A large amount of pesticide usage in the world increased by 36% or 4.2 million tons in the last two decades 2000-2019. Unfortunately, biopesticides as a part of pesticides that contribute to Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and organic farming share only 1-5% of pesticides on the global market, while it is believed to have a good prospect to be used widely in the future. Due to the hazardous and harmful pesticides, the world countries apply regulations and registration to minimize the bad effect of pesticide use but these are varied in many countries. The difference between synthetic chemical pesticides and the biopesticide mode of action should be considered to have fair regulations. On the global market, there are 1400 biopesticides products. Innovation on biopesticides due to control pests as well as facing environmental and health issues is quite developed, however, it has some constraints in certain aspects to increase the use to support sustainable agriculture development, such as variability in knowledge, different regulations in any country, and lack of distribution at the farmer level. To encourage the wide use of biopesticides can be recommended some strategies for the national government (1) cut off the use of chemical pesticides, (2) develop some research for the near future, such as redesigning cropping systems, enhancing prophylaxis, (3) support the development of public policies and private initiatives for the transition toward pesticide-free agri-food systems, (4) reduce some requirements in biopesticide registration such as toxicological tests, environmental tests, residual tests, and acute oral and dermal tests.

Study on microstructure and properties of laser-clad Fe-based (Ti, V)C composite coatings

An in-situ autogenous ceramic phase reinforced laser cladding containing vanadium (V) and titanium (Ti) has been developed for improving the surface properties of rolls in the field of iron and steel metallurgy. In this study, the effect of the V and Ti content on the microstructure, hardness, shear property, and wear behavior in high temperatures of the laser cladding was evaluated. The results showed that with the increase of the V and Ti content, TiC and VC precipitated with a growing volume in the grain and grain boundaries, and their shapes gradually changed from circle to polygon. In addition, the grain size was smaller and smaller while the microhardness was higher and higher. The precipitation of TiC and VC ceramic phase has a bad effect on the shear properties of the cladding layer due to the weak bonding strength between large-size carbide and matrix. The cladding layer with 5 % content of V and Ti showed better wear-resisting properties which are >21 times and twice higher than that without V and Ti at room temperature and 600 °C, respectively. Indicating that the size of the ceramic phase has the most important effect on the wear property because the ceramic particles with larger sizes were easy to dislodge and cause scratches to the specimen.

Operational definition of precipitated opioid withdrawal.

Opioid withdrawal can be expressed as both a spontaneous and precipitated syndrome. Although spontaneous withdrawal is well-characterized, there is no operational definition of precipitated opioid withdrawal. People (N = 106) with opioid use disorder maintained on morphine received 0.4 mg intramuscular naloxone and completed self-report (Subjective Opiate Withdrawal Scale, SOWS), visual analog scale (VAS), Bad Effects and Sick, and observer ratings (Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale, COWS). Time to peak severity and minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in withdrawal severity were calculated. Principal component analysis (PCA) during peak severity were conducted and analyzed with repeated measures analyses of variance (ANOVA). Within 60 min, 89% of people reported peak SOWS ratings and 90% of people had peak COWS scores as made by raters. Self-reported signs of eyes tearing, yawning, nose running, perspiring, hot flashes, and observed changes in pupil diameter and rhinorrhea/lacrimation were uniquely associated with precipitated withdrawal. VAS ratings of Bad Effect and Sick served as statistically significant severity categories (0, 1-40, 41-80, and 81-100) for MCID evaluations and revealed participants' identification with an increase of 10 [SOWS; 15% maximum percent effect (MPE)] and 6 (COWS; 12% MPE) points as meaningful shifts in withdrawal severity indicative of precipitated withdrawal. Data suggested that a change of 10 (15% MPE) and 6 (12% MPE) points on the SOWS and COWS, respectively, that occurred within 60 min of antagonist administration was identified by participants as a clinically meaningful increase in symptom severity. These data provide a method to begin examining precipitated opioid withdrawal.

THE IMPACT THAT SOCIAL MEDIA HAS HAD ON TODAY'S GENERATION OF INDIAN YOUTH: AN ANALYTICAL STUDY

Social media has become a daily habit in most people’s lives. People of all ages participate in social media, and the average Indian devotes nearly 2.4 hours per day to this one activity alone. People are able to voice their concerns and share their perspectives through the medium of social media. When it comes to understanding social media, people must first be comfortable with the notion. Users can communicate with one another and share information, thoughts, opinions, images, and videos via Internet-based programmes known as "social media.. In order to access content, share content with other users of that social media platform, and converse with other users of that social media platform, an individual must first sign up for an account and then sign in to that account. Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Snap Chat, Telegram, and LinkedIn are just a few of the most prominent and frequently used social networking platforms today; others include Snap chat etc. It's noteworthy to observe that most of these social networking sites have a disproportionately high proportion of teen users. In India, adolescents and teenagers between the ages of 13 and 19 make up 31 percent of the overall number of people who use social media (Statista, 2021). Users in India between the ages of 18 and 24 make up the majority of Facebook and Instagram users in the country. We take a descriptive and analytical stance when discussing social media and its effects on young people, both good and bad, in this study. We heavily rely on the thematic analysis tool MAXQDA to draw a conclusion. We discuss all facets of social media, including both positive and bad effects. Specific areas including business, education, society, and young people are highlighted.

ANALISIS KONTROL MASYARAKAT TERHADAP KEBIASAAN KONSUMSI MIRAS DI KALANGAN REMAJA PADA PESTA PERNIKAHAN JORONG RANAH JAYA NAGARI KOTO GADANG KEC. KOTO BESAR KAB. DHARMASRAYA

The abuse of liquor in today's world is no longer limited to adults, but teenagers are not immune from the bad effects of drinking. The phenomenon of alcohol abuse by teenagers should not be taken lightly, because teenagers have a very important role for the survival of a nation. The purpose of this study is to describe the phenomenon of adolescents consuming liquor at a wedding in Jorong Ranah Jaya Nagari Koto Gadang, Koto Besar District, Dharmasraya Regency. The theory used in this study is the theory of social Kontrol according to Petter L Berger. This research is a qualitative research using descriptive method. Data collection methods are through interviews and observation. Interviews were conducted with 20 informants, the informants in this study were taken using a purposive sampling technique. The data analysis model is through the stages of data collection, data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. From the results of the research it was revealed that, First, the activity of consuming liquor at weddings in Jorong Ranah Jaya is a common thing, because the existence of liquor has been provided by the residents who have the event and have even been entrusted to the youth chairman and the Jorong chairman to make this happen. which gives freedom to anyone to consume liquor including teenagers. Second, the community's social Kontrol is carried out on teenagers who consume liquor, namely a) through parental supervision. Parents of children, even the head of Jorong and youth leaders must be actively involved in Kontrol ling the activities of teenagers who like to gather and drink alcohol at weddings. b) giving a warning, the community starting with the family and the social environment will try to measure every child's actions, both those who behave positively and even those who behave negatively, c) supervision of the environment in which they live. The social environment of children is closely related to the behavior they show and d) Witness/Punishment.

Announcement and some related factors in people with open heart surgery at hanoi heart institute in 2023

Background: Open - heart surgery is an intensive treatment, helping to relieve symptoms, reduce drug therapy, prolong life and increase quality of life for patients with cardiovascular disease. Research on patient anxiety helps nurses focus more on mental care before and after surgery for patients.
 Method: Cross-sectional description on 222 patients having open heart surgery during August to December 2022 at Hanoi Heart Hospital.
 Results: The average score of anxiety scale before surgery is 6.23 (±4.08), after surgery is 2.79 (±2.61); There were 96 patients (43.2 %) patients with signs and symptoms of anxiety before surgery, 19 people (8.6%) patients with anxiety after surgery. The main problems patients worry about before surgery are waiting time for surgery (62.2%), then it is likely to be delayed (32.4%), uncomfortable hospital environment (30.6%). and some other anxieties such as pain after surgery (28.4%), unsuccessful surgery (23.0%), failure to wake up after anesthesia (14.9%), or bad effects from errors in surgery ( 11.7%). Concerns about the care of loved ones and the care of health workers are low at less than 5%. Gender, age, duration of illness, influence from people around and ability to pay were the main factors related to patient's anxiety (p<0.05).
 Conclusion: Patients before and after surgery have anxiety, health workers must find out their worries and thoughts to encourage and support mental as well as physical to improve their mental health to help patients recover quickly.

Disclosure of Carbon Emissions, Covid-19, Green Innovations, Financial Performance, and Firm Value

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the publication of carbon emissions, COVID-19, and green innovation on financial overall performance and their impact on firm value. The population utilized here are Indonesian companies registered at the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2015 to 2021 acquired from forty-eight organizations as a sample using purposive sampling. Path analysis is used as the analysis method. This study found that the publication of carbon emissions had no enormous impact on financial performance, while COVID-19 had a full-size negative impact on financial overall performance and green inno­vation had a substantial-higher-quality impact on financial performance. Meanwhile, COVID-19 has an extensive negative impact on firm value, financial performance has a substantial effect on firm value, and disclosure of carbon emissions and green innovation has no massive effect on firm value. Similarly, financial performance cannot seriously mediate the effect of carbon emission disclosure on firm value. However, financial performance was capable of noticeably mediating the bad effect of COVID-19 on firm value and the big high effect of green innovation on firm value.

A crowdsourcing survey study on the subjective effects of delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol relative to delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol.

Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ8-THC) has emerged as a new retail cannabinoid product in the U.S. This study queried Δ8-THC users about product use characteristics and self-reported drug effects. Participants were recruited via a large online crowdsourcing platform (Amazon Mechanical Turk). Adults (N = 252) with past year Δ8-THC use (35% with at least weekly use) completed surveys and open-ended questions related to their reasons for using and past experiences with Δ8-THC-containing retail products. Participants with past year use of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) and/or cannabidiol (CBD; 81% and 63%) compared the effects of Δ8-THC to those of Δ9-THC and/or CBD by rating drug effects on a visual analog scale from -50 to + 50 where negative scores indicated Δ8-THC effects are weaker, positive scores indicated Δ8-THC effects are stronger, and a score of 0 indicated equal effects to Δ9-THC or CBD. Compared to Δ9-THC, self-reported ratings for "Drug effect," "Bad effect," "Sick," "Anxiety," "Paranoia," "Irritability," "Restlessness," "Memory Problems," and "Trouble Performing Routine Tasks" were lower for Δ8-THC (d = -0.21 to -0.44). Compared to CBD, ratings for Δ8-THC effects were higher for "Drug effect," "Good effect," "High," "Relaxed," "Sleepy," "Hunger/Have the Munchies," "Memory Problems," "Trouble Performing Routine Tasks," and "Paranoia" (d = 0.27-1.02). Qualitative responses indicated that participants used Δ8-THC because it is perceived as (a) legal, (b) a substitute or similar to Δ9-THC, and/or (c) less intense than Δ9-THC. Δ8-THC is an understudied psychoactive component of cannabis that shares more characteristics with Δ9-THC than CBD and should be characterized further with human laboratory studies.

Effect of Different Diets on Human Gut Microbiome Health

In the past 20 years, research on the human gut microbiome and human health has exploded. Diet and gut microbiota are considered important parts of human health. Therefore, it is important and urgent to dig deeper into the impacts of different diets on the human gut and human health. This paper mainly compared the impacts of plant-based diets and animal-based high-fat low-fiber western diets on gut health and human diseases. Through introducing vegan, vegetarian, and mediterranean diets and related research, plant-based diets are much healthier than high-fat low-fiber western diets when it comes to fighting cancer and maintaining a healthy weight. The paper also focuses on the components and their effects in plant-based food and animal-based foods such as plant protein, animal protein, prebiotics, probiotics, and dietary iron such as heme as well as mentioning the effect of shifting diets. In the future, research can look for more evidence of people who change diets, such as changing from omnivorous to vegetarian, because nowadays more people change diets based due to recognition of the bad effect of western diets. However, those who switch diets may suffer from eating disorders so future research could look into this effect. Overall, this paper gives basic knowledge about the effect of different diets on human gut health and human health.

Design and Simulation of Magnetorheological Brake Supporting Downhill Van Truck

Depressing the brake when the vehicle is moving downhill for a long time will have a bad effect on the car's brake system. Typically, the phenomenon of friction, wear, and temperature rise occurs at the brake pads. These can be the causes of brake failure. This paper presents the idea of designing and simulating magneto-rheological brake (MRB) model to assist van trucks downhill without interfering with the traditional braking system. Research on brake models using: Magneto-rheological fluid (MRF), a smart material that is gradually being applied in many fields of science and technology. The operation of this type of brake is based on the inherent advantages of MR fluids such as continuously changing dynamic range and fast response, actively changing the viscosity of the fluid when changing the magnetic field applied to the coil. In order to improve safety and initiative in the braking process of the car. The study presents the process of calculating and simulating the braking torque generated from this brake model. Thereby helping to open a new direction for the traditional brake system in cars as well as contributing to the development of the automobile industry in general.

Lived experiences of risk among pregnant women in Baybay City, Leyte during the COVID-19 pandemic: A phenomenological study

Giving birth is risky by nature, and this makes pregnant women one of the most vulnerable individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic. For pregnant women in Baybay City, Leyte, conceiving a child during a COVID-19 pandemic means: living with constant anxiety and worry, living with the fear of the unknown, and being the most vulnerable people in a medical emergency. These fears and worries revolved around hospital settings, financial difficulties, isolation, labor, and delivery while their feeling of vulnerability meant contracting the virus easily and having to undergo stricter protocols. Meanwhile, they had varied perceptions of COVID-19 risk. These were classified as positive or negative. Informants with positive perceptions were those that viewed COVID-19 as not personally risky but rather showed a hopeful view of its risk. They view its risk as something not too dangerous because of the vaccines available and that its symptoms are simple to cure. On the other hand, informants with negative perceptions view COVID-19 risks as something that will have a bad effect on them. They link pregnancy to susceptibility to COVID-19 and foresee premature birth, negative effects on the fetus development, and child-related death as negative results of COVID-19. Pregnant women also perceived COVID-19 risk deliberatively, affectively, and experientially. This indicates that they take the most deliberate approach to managing COVID-19 risk. Informants demonstrated affective reactions like worry and fear as they estimate the risks COVID-19 may pose to them. These factors together form their experiential risk perception of COVID-19 as an encounter with danger.
