Social media platforms such as Instagram and Snapchat give their users access to beauty standards that are tailor- made, ending up being surreal beauty ideals. The processes of social comparison via and among peers through social media platforms create a digital eco-system that rewards conformity to these standards of beauty. The study looks into the underlying processes that lead to body image perception being channeled through social media and, ultimately, to body dissatisfaction in this group of people. The study explores the frequency of cyberbullying, psychological implications, and effects on a general well-being to yield clues into the complicated relationship between social media and body positive standards. Comprehending this dynamic is the core to building up interventions and strategies to improve thoughts of body image and to lessen the adverse effects of social media on young people.

Evaluating education quality as a research instrument: A systematic review

The pursuit of quality reflects a fundamental aspiration toward perfection, embodying a commitment to ideal principles and standards. Those who strive for excellence are expected to imbue their work with a sense of conscience and morality. This is particularly salient in organizations that provide services to individuals, including universities, schools, companies, and other educational institutions. In educational contexts, the presence of conscience and morality is crucial for several reasons. First, these attributes cultivate a favorable and principled atmosphere that encourages sincerity, uprightness, and impartiality among students, teachers, and staff members. The aim of this study was to investigate the concept of quality in education and the assessment methods used, drawing on previous studies. Despite numerous studies on this topic, a comprehensive understanding of the quality of education and evaluation tools has yet to be achieved. This study emphasizes the importance of educational quality and stresses the need for educational institutions to gain a thorough understanding of it and stay up-to-date with the latest developments in evaluation methods. Quality in education pertains to the extent of progress made and the fulfillment of expectations by students, parents, and teachers. The evaluation of educational quality is crucial, and there are various methods available for this purpose. One method for evaluating educational quality is to analyze students' exam results and compare them to previous results. Additional indicators of educational quality include students' discipline, their ability to participate in higher education, and their employability. Other factors to consider when evaluating educational quality include educational inspection, retention rates in schools, examination type, course quality, efficiency, effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, school management, and guardians' satisfaction with their children's education. By evaluating these aspects, educational institutions can assess the quality of the educational process and implement necessary improvements.

This research aims to identify the causes of problems or obstacles related to receiving activities, starting from trucks entering the gate-in to leaving the gate-out at the Koja Container Terminal, and providing an understanding of the impacts resulting from the identified problems or obstacles. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, which describes and explains the conditions, phenomena or research variables studied. Truck Round Time analysis at the export container terminal shows that there are several obstacles in the process of receiving containers at the stacking yard. The time of receiving activities can be seen from the length of Truck Round Time, where only 33% of that time reaches the ideal standard, while 67% is still below the ideal standard. The length of time for receiving activities that do not reach ideal standards has negative impacts, such as the potential for congestion inside or outside the terminal, which can harm the good name of the Koja Container Terminal, reduce customer loyalty and satisfaction with the terminal, and hamper other operational processes within. Keywords: Receiving, Container Terminal, Truck Round Time

Theoretical considerations for root canal re-treatment

When considering performing root canal re-treatment, we must first consider why the original treatment failed. Failure of root canal treatments can occur when ideal technical standards for control of the root canal infection are not achieved. Sometimes, extra-radicular infection may prevent a successful treatment outcome. Teeth with post-treatment peri-apical infection can be managed by either non-surgical or surgical root canal re-treatment, both of which aim to restore health to the peri-apical tissues and prolong the survival of the tooth in the oral cavity. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Examples of different clinical circumstances that were considered for root canal re-treatment are presented.

The Impact of Body Shaming on Teenage Girls

The mass media has an important role in creating a view of ideal body standards. The existence of ideal body standards that emerge in society causes many individuals to experience body shaming. So that society has an indicator of a woman's beauty that is seen from her physical appearance. Body shaming is a person's action or treatment in giving bad comments or criticism about someone's physical appearance, whether related to body condition or appearance, which is done consciously or unconsciously. This form of body shaming is dominated by the color, shape and size of the body in the form of verbal communication and some even takes the form of physical violence. The research method uses a qualitative approach, with descriptive methods. Data was taken from in-depth interviews and journal sources. The results of this research show that body shaming still occurs among teenagers. Often body shaming behavior occurs in middle school or high school. The impacts felt are also very bad, namely stress, depression and loss of self-confidence. As a result, victims of body shaming try to change themselves according to the appearance standards that have been constructed by society. Body shaming behavior can cause discrimination and verbal violence against individuals.

Development of hydrogel-based standards and phantoms for non-linear imaging at depth.

Rapid advances in medical imaging technology, particularly the development of optical systems with non-linear imaging modalities, are boosting deep tissue imaging. The development of reliable standards and phantoms is critical for validation and optimization of these cutting-edge imaging techniques. We aim to design and fabricate flexible, multi-layered hydrogel-based optical standards and evaluate advanced optical imaging techniques at depth. Standards were made using a robust double-network hydrogel matrix consisting of agarose and polyacrylamide. The materials generated ranged from single layers to more complex constructs consisting of up to seven layers, with modality-specific markers embedded between the layers. These standards proved useful in the determination of the axial scaling factor for light microscopy and allowed for depth evaluation for different imaging modalities (conventional one-photon excitation fluorescence imaging, two-photon excitation fluorescence imaging, second harmonic generation imaging, and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering) achieving actual depths of 1550, 1550, 1240, and , respectively. Once fabricated, the phantoms were found to be stable for many months. The ability to image at depth, the phantom's robustness and flexible layered structure, and the ready incorporation of "optical markers" make these ideal depth standards for the validation of a variety of imaging modalities.

Investigation the optical properties of Palestinian olive oils for different geographical regions by optical spectroscopy technique

Olive oil serves as a significant source of income for Palestinian farmers, both on a national and international scale. This study focuses on assessing the quality and identifying key compounds in olive oils from different regions, employing UV–visible absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy. UV-visible absorbance analysis uncovered specific absorption bands associated with chlorophyll, and carotenoids. Additional measurements at 232, 266, 270, and 274 nm, along with K values calculations, indicated that the oils from these regions are predominantly extra virgin. Photoluminescence measurements in two and three dimensions revealed three distinct emission bands. The first, peaking at 320 nm, was linked to polyphenols, the second, a red emission at 670 nm, to chlorophyll, and the third, spanning 400–580 nm, to oxidation products and vitamin E. When examining olive oil adulteration with sunflower oil, both absorption and photoluminescence data exhibited a significant reduction in peak intensity for chlorophyll, carotenoids, and polyphenols. Additionally, this research explored pigment content in olives from various geographic origins, finding that the ratio values align with ideal standards for Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) and provided insights into the percentage of lutein within the carotenoid composition.

ASSESSING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INPAINTING TECHNIQUES FOR ENHANCING FEATURE EXTRACTION QUALITY IN REMOTE SENSING IMAGERY

Abstract. Remote Sensing (RS) images have been used in several applications of interest for society. Despite the precision and robustness derived from RS images, several aerial scenes exhibit imperfections and fall short of attaining ideal quality standards, as some of them present distortions such as noise, blur, and stripes. An alternative approach to deal with such distortions is by applying Inpainting techniques, however, under certain circumstances, this type of approach requires to be evaluated by quantitative metrics to assess the final quality of the reconstruction. Therefore, this paper focus on the issue of quantitatively evaluating inpainting results in the context of RS by analysing and comparing new evaluation metrics in contrast to the classical ones from the general literature of RS. More precisely, two inpainting techniques are applied for object removal and reconstruction of partially detected curvilinear cartographic features in RS images. Next, the obtained results are evaluated by taking six evaluation metrics to assess the agreement level between the metrics, as well as between qualitative evaluations conducted by human agents. Based on the evaluation of these metrics when applied to RS images, it can be concluded that the DISTS and VSI metrics are the most promising candidates for adaptation and application within the specific context of RS.

Method design of interactive digital devices to support the workspace comfort

There are many alterations and adaptations of the workspaces after the Covid-19 pandemic. Nowadays, workspaces are required to have flexibility in facilitating physical and virtual activities, work-from-home (WFH), and work-from-office (WFO) activities. Besides, workspaces must provide comfort based on user preferences and demand to support workers’ health and productivity. In order to answer these problems, the design of interactive digital devices that can be adjusted according to physical needs, activities, and preferences is needed to support the ideal workspace comfort. The research method used in this research is a literature review related to ideal workspace comfort standards and an assessment of the Arduino as an interactive digital device to produce an interactive digital device method design that can detect ideal comfort and be applied to workspaces. The result shows that as an interactive digital device, Arduino can be implemented in a workspace to detect and produce ideal workspace comfort regarding lighting, noise, temperature, and humidity. Arduino also supports flexibility and varied demand in a workspace because of its adjustable artificial intelligence feature. The ideal standard of workspace differs based on the activities and geographical conditions of the country and is related to the varied preferences of its users. Based on its complexity, for further research to be carried out, it is recommended to conduct a case study of ideal workspace interior design with an Arduino device in a specific place to generate more accurate data and suitable workspace design.

Factors that cause Work Fatigue among Shipyard Workers

Highlights: 1. The focus of this study was on the underlying factors of fatigue among shipyard workers, an area that necessitatesfurther research to attain ideal standards in occupational health and safety.2. This study can provide companies with material to use when counseling workers on the importance of a healthynutritional intake in preventing fatigue. Abstract Work fatigue remains a prevalent issue among workers in shipyards, leading to detrimental effects on physical well-being, including a decline in body resistance and productivity. The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between age, nutritional status, working period, physical workload, noise, and lighting with fatigue levels among hull construction workers. This observational study used a cross-sectional approach with a total population of 112 individuals working in the production line of the Warship Division of a shipbuilding company. The sample size in this study was determined using stratified random sampling, resulting in an assembly of 53 samples. Proportionate stratified random sampling was then employed to determine the sample size for each subgroup of the population. The research data were analyzed using the Spearman correlation test (p<0.005). This study found a significant relationship between work fatigue and nutritional status (p=0.000), with a moderately positive relationship (r=0.511). Additionally, there was a significant relationship between work fatigue and physical workload (p=0.000), with a moderately positive relationship (r=0.531). Noise and work fatigue showed a significant relationship (p=0.010), with a weak positive relationship (r=0.353). Lighting and work fatigue showed a significant relationship as well (p=0.000), but with a moderately negative relationship (r=-0.524). On the other hand, work fatigue did not exhibit any significant relationship with age (p=0.129) or working period (p=0.651). This study establishes a relationship between work fatigue and numerous factors, including nutritional status, physical workload, noise, and lighting. However, age and working period are not related to work fatigue. Thus, it is recommended that companies align job requirements with employees' work capacity and conduct regular assessments of noise and lighting conditions to mitigate work-related fatigue.
