TOTAL ERYTHROCYTE COUNT, HEMOGLOBIN HEMATOCRIT VALUE, AND RED BLOOD CELL INDICES OF DOG WITH ATOPIC DERMATITIS POST THERAPY OF ECO ENZYME

Atopic dermatitis is a common skin disorder in dogs. This study was aimed to determine the effect of eco enzyme on dogs suffering from atopic dermatitis in terms of changes in total erythrocytes, hemoglobin levels, hematocrit values and erythrocyte indices. Two groups of dogs with atopic dermatitis were used in this study: concentration A (three dogs) were bathed with 10% concentration of eco enzyme at intervals of three days, and concentration B (two dogs) were bathed with 10% concentration of eco enzyme at intervals of three days, then continued a week later with eco enzyme concentration of 2% at intervals once a week. Both groups were given treatment for five weeks. Hematology data were analyzed through tiered pattern analysis of variance followed by Duncan’s multiple range test using SPSS which showed that the concentration of eco enzyme and the duration of observation (weeks) had no significant effect on total erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCH and MCHC, although they influenced MCV. Also, there was a real interaction between the concentration of eco enzyme and the duration of observation at MCH. It can be concluded that therapy with eco enzyme has not been able to improve total erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCH and MCHC, but has been able to improve MCV in dogs with atopic dermatitis.

Excessive internet use as a risk factor for suicide ideation among university students in Malawi: A cross-sectional study.

Covid 19 has fast-paced the use of technological innovations, mainly the internet. However, Internet use can lead to several behavioral and psychological conditions, such as cyberbullying and distorted relationships, which could lead to suicide ideation. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among young adults. To assess the association between Internet addiction and suicide ideation among university students in Malawi. Furthermore, to assess the factors associated with suicidal thoughts among Malawian college students who surf the World Wide Web. This cross-sectional study utilized secondary research and used data available from https://data.mendeley.com/drafts/xbfbcy5bhv. Internet addiction was measured using the Internet Addiction Test. The dependent variable includes suicide ideation. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between the dependent and independent variables. The value of p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Out of the 620 participants, 514 (82.2%) were aged between 15 and 24. The majority were males 401 (64.7%). The mean IAT score was 46.08 (SD = 14.60). The IAT score was 44.81 (SD = 13.85) among males and 48.40 (SD = 15.65) among females (p = 0.003). About 341 (55%) of students use the internet excessively. Suicide ideation was prevalent among 101 (16.3%) of the students. Suicide ideation was significantly associated with internet addiction. (p < 0.001). The odds of developing suicidal thoughts increased about 3 times among excessive internet users compared to average users (OR = 2.91, 95% CI = 1.213-7.018). However, age, gender, discipline, and year of study were not associated with suicide ideation. The study suggests that internet addiction affects suicide ideation mainly through distorting social relationships. School settings should increase awareness regarding the safe use of the internet to ensure a balance between online and real-life interactions and curb suicide.

Teasing in Outpatient Clinical Interaction in China: Managing Epistemic and Deontic Authorities

ABSTRACTIntroductionIn response to evolving patient‐centred care initiatives, this study investigates teasing in Chinese outpatient interactions. By exploring how teasing impacts knowledge exchange and decision‐making processes, the research underscores its utility in enhancing patient engagement and communication efficacy, aligning with China's healthcare reform objectives.MethodsUtilizing conversation analysis, the study meticulously examines a series of outpatient interactions, identifying and analyzing instances of teasing. Through a detailed investigation of the sequential organization, design features, and interactional tasks accomplished by teasing, the research unravels the complex mechanisms through which teasing operates within clinical settings.ResultsFindings reveal that teasing is a sequential accomplishment that is intertwined with institutional contingencies and embedded in overarching sequential projects of clinics. Teases often arise from subtle cues that may lead to delicate moments and are crafted with a blend of playfulness and seriousness, serving to bridge the gap between patient experiences and medical expertise. This study highlights how teasing facilitates the exchange of knowledge and influences collaborative decision‐making, marking a departure from its more casual use in everyday interactions. Teasing acts as a catalyst for a more profound comprehension of medical facts, encouraging patients to actively participate in their care by expressing concerns and preferences, thus aligning medical decisions with patient autonomy. The responses to teases vary, reflecting the complexity of clinical communication and the need for a delicate balance between humour and professionalism.ConclusionsThe study underscores the significance of teasing as a multifaceted communicative practice within outpatient clinical interactions. It highlights how teasing can contribute to a more nuanced and patient‐centred approach to healthcare, enhancing the collaborative exploration of medical advice and fostering a more engaging and empathetic clinical environment.Patient or Public ContributionThis study utilized real outpatient interactions, with participants' informed consent. The analysis focused on authentic teasing exchanges between clinicians and patients, ensuring the findings reflect genuine communication practices in healthcare settings. Participants, including both healthcare professionals and patients, were informed about the study's goals and their essential role in providing insights into clinician–patient communication, contributing to a deeper understanding of interaction dynamics in outpatient clinics.

Mechanical behavior evolution and failure characteristics of saturated and dry rocks under different water pressure environments

A complex and changeable water environment is a key factor for safe rock engineering. Variations in water distribution and pressure pose serious challenges in evaluating rock properties and failure modes. To investigate the effect of real water‒rock interactions on rock mechanical behavior, the self-developed hydraulic loading test equipment was designed. A series of mechanical experiments (unjacketed) were carried out on three representative types of rocks under different water pressure environments, and the jacketed test was also performed for the saturated rocks. The experimental results showed that with increasing water confining pressure, the stress‒strain curve of the saturated rocks increased, while that of the dry rocks first decreased and then increased, and that of the sandstone became more obvious. Furthermore, when the water confining pressure increased, the peak stress and elastic modulus of the saturated rocks increased linearly, and those of the dry rocks first decreased and then increased more sharply. Interestingly, the water confining pressure weakened the local tensile failure and aggravated the shear failure. The relationship between the water confining pressure and strength also indicated that the change of saturated rocks more slowly when in contact with the water confining pressure. From the above results, the pore water pressure correction coefficients (μ) of sandstone, marble and granite were 0.98, 0.96 and 0.93, respectively, in the water pressure environment and rock connection. The failure mechanism of saturated rocks is similar to that of rocks without confining pressure due to the balance of the water confining pressure and pore water pressure, and pore water pressure mainly acts as piestic water. For dry rocks, the penetration of pore water firstly weakens the mechanical properties of rocks when pore water pressure is smaller. A greater confining pressure enhances the role of traditional confining pressure for granite and dry rocks.

Perceiving Design Features in New Interaction Environments: Comparing Rendered Images, 360° Rotation, AR, Immersive and Non-Immersive VR, and Real Product Interaction

The emergence of new display technologies can change the perception of product design features and their assessment. Previous studies are limited to comparisons between a few technologies; the real product is considered only occasionally. This work compares the perceptions of 10 design features in two household products, shown by five display technologies (image rendering, 360° rotation, and augmented, immersive, and non-immersive virtual reality), and also with the real product. Results show that the 360° rotation provides the best perception for the most important features. However, the perception of aesthetic features is better achieved with i_VR. Other global results vary depending on the product. Finally, interaction with the real product shows a quite different perception for many features. The results contribute to the understanding of product perceptions influenced by different displays, comparing them with perceptions generated through real interaction. It is expected that the conclusions will be used to optimize the presentation of product features.

Speech emotion recognition in real static and dynamic human-robot interaction scenarios

The use of speech-based solutions is an appealing alternative to communicate in human-robot interaction (HRI). An important challenge in this area is processing distant speech which is often noisy, and affected by reverberation and time-varying acoustic channels. It is important to investigate effective speech solutions, especially in dynamic environments where the robots and the users move, changing the distance and orientation between a speaker and the microphone. This paper addresses this problem in the context of speech emotion recognition (SER), which is an important task to understand the intention of the message and the underlying mental state of the user. We propose a novel setup with a PR2 robot that moves as target speech and ambient noise are simultaneously recorded. Our study not only analyzes the detrimental effect of distance speech in this dynamic robot-user setting for speech emotion recognition but also provides solutions to attenuate its effect. We evaluate the use of two beamforming schemes to spatially filter the speech signal using either delay-and-sum (D&S) or minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR). We consider the original training speech recorded in controlled situations, and simulated conditions where the training utterances are processed to simulate the target acoustic environment. We consider the case where the robot is moving (dynamic case) and not moving (static case). For speech emotion recognition, we explore two state-of-the-art classifiers using hand-crafted features implemented with the ladder network strategy and learned features implemented with the wav2vec 2.0 feature representation. MVDR led to a signal-to-noise ratio higher than the basic D&S method. However, both approaches provided very similar average concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) improvements equal to 116 % with the HRI subsets using the ladder network trained with the original MSP-Podcast training utterances. For the wav2vec 2.0-based model, only D&S led to improvements. Surprisingly, the static and dynamic HRI testing subsets resulted in a similar average concordance correlation coefficient. Finally, simulating the acoustic environment in the training dataset provided the highest average concordance correlation coefficient scores with the HRI subsets that are just 29 % and 22 % lower than those obtained with the original training/testing utterances, with ladder network and wav2vec 2.0, respectively.

Самопрезентация пользователя в социальных сетях и проблема коллапса контекста

This article discusses the social problems of communication in social networks that provide a platform and tools for the formation of a virtual network identity. The features of the behavior of users of social networks and the tactics of their self-presentation when constructing a personal network profile are described. It is argued that in the process of social communication, people present different versions of themselves depending on their audience and adapting their own self-presentation to the perceived values and preferences of the interlocutors. The difficulties of online communication are described, where, unlike real interaction, the user does not have the opportunity to correlate his/ her behavior with the situational context and carry out differentiated self-presentation. The problems of blurring the boundaries of public and private in social networks and the loss of information privacy, which is a necessary condition for personal freedom and autonomy, are raised. It is argued that the disclosure of private information is an important component of maintaining social relations. It is noted that currently there is a transformation of cultural norms regulating the degree of openness-closeness and publicity-privacy. The concept of "context collapse" is introduced – a situation caused by the mixing of heterogeneous audiences with different social values, norms and expectations into one homogeneous group. The strategies are proposed to overcome the negative consequences of this situation: dividing the audience into several segments, self-censorship, forcing to avoid discussing controversial topics and adapting the user's language style, suggesting a reduction in language variability. The work was based on the methods of symbolic interactionism and I. Hoffman's theory of roles, which he used to build the dramatic theory of social interaction and self-presentation in social interaction.

Just Name it: The Act of Naming Humanoid Service Robots Decreases Perceived Eeriness and Increases Repurchase Intent

Though Humanoid Service Robots are the “holy grail” of robotics, the discomfort, specifically the feelings of eeriness, they elicit in consumers still raises concerns as to their successful implementation in service settings. From a firm’s point of view, the main question revolves around how to integrate humanoid service robots without hurting consumers' repurchase intent as a result of their perceived eeriness. The results of four experiments (including a study involving real interactions), using four distinct humanoid service robots and four different service settings, collectively examine a novel marketing solution which consists of consumers assigning a name to a humanoid service robot. We show that humanoid service robots with customer-assigned names versus no name or store-assigned names increase consumers' repurchase intent. This is because the act of naming simultaneously increases perceived familiarity of the humanoid service robot and control over it, which decrease its perceived eeriness and consequently increase consumers' interaction enjoyment. Altogether, our studies offer theoretical and managerial insights on how engaging consumers in the act of naming can facilitate technological infusion into service frontlines.

The Effect of Milkfish Bone Meal (Chanos chanos) Addition and Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3) Concentration on the Physicochemical and Organoleptic Characteristics of Tortilla Chips

Tortillas are a corn-based snack, yellow, and have a thin shape and crunchy texture. The addition of fish bone meal can increase calcium levels but also decrease the texture of the tortilla. The addition of sodium bicarbonate aims to improve the texture by increasing the swelling power and crispness of the product. This research aims to determine the effect of the substitution of milkfish bone meal with the addition of sodium bicarbonate on the physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics of tortilla chips. This study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors and two replications, factor I was the concentration of milkfish bone meal (10%, 15%, and 20%) and factor II was the concentration of sodium bicarbonate (0.25%, 0.50 %, and 0.75%). The data obtained were analyzed using ANOVA and continued with the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at the 5% level. The results of the research show that there is a real interaction with ash content, protein content, fat content, and calcium content. The research results of the best treatment based on physicochemical parameters were tortilla chips with the addition of fish bone meal 10% and a sodium bicarbonate concentration of 0.75%. This is the best-treated tortilla chip product with a water content value of 5.080%; ash content 2.995%; protein content 5.87%; fat content 5.380%; carbohydrates 82.521%, calcium 3.396%, expansion volume 19.912%; breaking power 278,350 gf; amylose 37.750%; and starch content 62.516%;

Preferred Learning Model in Studying English as a Foreign Language During Post-Pandemic Period: Blended Learning, Online Learning, or Face to Face?

Objective: Before and During the Covid-19 pandemic, students in Indonesia experienced face to face learning, online learning, and blended learning. Since the students have experienced those three learning models, this study was conducted to investigate the learning model that is preferred by the students during post-pandemic period and identify the reasons why they chose a particular learning model in learning English as a foreign language context. Method: To achieve that research objective, this study was conducted by following a mixed-methods study method, the sequential explanatory design. The researchers started this study by collecting the quantitative data to identify the learning models preferred by the university students in Bali when they have an English class during post-pandemic period. Then, it was followed by collecting qualitative data to explain why the students preferred a certain learning model for the English class. The respondents of the study were 100 lecturers and 200 university students. The researchers collected the study data through questionnaires and interviews. The questionnaires were delivered using Google Forms, and the interviews via Google Meet. Results and Discussion: The study reveals that most lecturers and students preferred the blended learning model to teach and learn English. In general, the selection of the learning model preferred by the lecturers and students was influenced by educational and health factors. Therefore, it can be concluded that the students’ preference on selecting a learning model is not influence by the educational reasons only. Research Implications: Face to face instruction is crucial in an education process, because a real teacher-student interaction will happen through face to face instruction. Thus, blended learning is more preferable by the students than e-learning. Originality/Value: Previous studies on blended in Indonesia were conducted to reveal the effectiveness of blended learning education for the broader use of blended learning in modern learning. Only a few studies were conducted to reveal their effectiveness in limited face-to-face learning during the post-pandemic of Covid-19. Therefore, this study mainly focused on investigating the effectiveness of blended learning during the implementation of limited-face to-face learning in Indonesia during the post-pandemic of the covid-19 pandemic. This study was necessary because the findings can guide educators to develop a more effective learning environment.

Using Multimodal Interaction in a Virtual Reality Thoracic Diagnostic Scenario

Background: Stethoscopes and mannequins are basic tools for medical practitioners to diagnose various problems. Restricted by space, resources, and time, these tools and common video training are sometimes inaccessible. These obstacles may be solved by immersive virtual reality (VR) that improves interaction and blurs the line between virtual and reality. Therefore, this study combines virtual and real interaction technologies to investigate the impact of multi-sensory interaction on learning outcomes in chest auscultation.Methods: This study integrated VIVE Tracker technology to provide synchronized tactile stimulation in VR. University students in medical-related disciplines participated in the study. Interviews were conducted to understand how students perceived the effectiveness and usefulness of the thoracic auscultation VR.Conclusion: Most students expressed that tactile stimulation gave realistic sensations and effectively reinforced the immersive effect. Simultaneously, it increased their interest and motivation in learning. The integration of synchronized tactile stimulation is a novel approach that expands the realm of interactivity beyond handheld controller manipulation and creates a platform to simulate medical-related scenarios to learn complex knowledgeand skills.

Use of PGPR (Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria) to Increase Yields of Cayenne Pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.) in Monoculture Planting Systems and Under the Shade of Mature Citrus Plants

Cayenne pepper is a vegetable commodity, which can be categorized as a commercial commodity and has the potential to be developed. The problem that arises is that more and more agricultural land is getting damaged. One effort to overcome this problem is to use organic fertilizers such as PGPR. The purpose of this study was to obtain the optimum dose of PGPR (Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria) on the growth and yield (quantity and quality) of cayenne pepper in a monoculture cropping system and under the shade of mature citrus trees. The research was conducted in a Citrus Orchard, Tegalgondo Village, Karangploso District, Malang Regency. The time of the research was carried out in December 2022 - March 2023. This study used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with two factors, namely the concentration of PGPR (Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria) and the planting system. The first factor is the treatment of the application of the planting system which consists of 2 levels, namely MN (Monoculture) TS (Under the Orange Shade). The second factor was the treatment of PGPR concentration consisting of 4 levels, namely, P0 (without PGPR), P10 (10 ml.-1 concentration), P20 (20 ml.-1 concentration), P30 (30 ml.-1 concentration) and Treatment randomized in each group. and cropping system treatment. The results showed that there was no real interaction between the cropping system and PGPR on the growth of cayenne pepper plants. This is because there is a different effect on each treatment.

Cocoa seedlings growth on marginal soil as affected by application of dry walnut leaf compost and arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi

Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) is a plantation commodity that is widely cultivated in Indonesia, this commodity is very important in Indonesia because it has played a role in the Indonesian economy since 1930. The problem faced in cocoa cultivation is the lack of nutrient availability due to chemicals that cause residue in the soil, resulting in the growth of cocoa seedlings are not optimal, to optimize the growth of cocoa seedlings, provide a mixture of organic fertilizer in the planting medium and provide mycorrhiza. This research used the basic pattern of a factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 2 factors and repeated 3 times. The first factor is the dose of dry leaf compost (K) which consists of 3 levels, namely: Without dry leaf compost treatment/control (K₀), dry leaf compost 60 g/polybag (K₁), Dry leaf compost dose 120 g/polybag (K₂) and the second factor is the arbuscular mycorrhizal dose (M) which consists of 3 levels, namely: Without arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus treatment/control (M₀), arbuscular mycorrhizal dose of 15 g/polybag (M₁), and arbuscular mycorrhizal dose of 30 g/polybag (M₂) So there are 27 experimental units. The results of the study showed that (1) there was a real interaction between the treatment of compost dose (K) and mycorrhizal dose (M) in safety. The combination of compost dose (K) 120 g/plant and mycorrhiza dose (M) 30 g/plant (K2M2) was the best treatment combination. (2) The treatment of giving a compost dose (K) had a significant effect on the variables of plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, and plant dry weight. The best treatment was a compost dose of 120g/plant (K2). (3) The mycorrhizal dose (M) treatment had a very significant effect on the variables of plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, and plant dry weight. The best treatment was a mycorrhizal dose of 30g/plant (M2).

A general kinematic model for lubricated ball bearings based on the minimum energy hypothesis

Accurately predicting the performance of lubricated rolling elements is critical for certain key bearing applications. A widely employed simulation technique is quasi-static models, which although computationally efficient to implement, lack accuracy in predicting the kinematics of bearing components. This problem arises from their construction under kinematic assumptions, instead of solving the kinematic based on real frictional interactions. This paper presents a quasi-static model based on the minimum energy hypothesis for lubricated contacts, which determines the kinematic of the ball considering the effects of the frictional interactions governed by the elastohydrodynamic lubrication mechanism. The influence of kinematic variables on the sliding patterns and power loss distribution of the contact are analysed. The results are compared with other published quasi-static models, revealing substantial differences. The influence of the kinematic hypotheses on power losses are also studied at a bearing component scale. Finally, the effect of the governing lubrication mechanism of the contact is discussed, concluding that the limiting shear stress of the lubricant and the centrifugal forces have a significant effect on the kinematic of the ball.

Интерпсихическое начало учебного действия моделирования

&lt;p&gt;The content of education becomes the key to the development of the learner's agency when the teacher encourages children to independently construct a new concept using educational models. Using the case study method, we analyzed child-adult interactions at one of the key points of the emergence of children's independence in working with educational models. For this study we analyzed the lessons, where the primer by D.B. Elkonin was used. The focus of our observations was on the stage of transformation of the original model of sound-letter relations when students are faced with facts that contradict the principle described in this model. It is shown that in this situation, the initiative of learners can be directed by the adult entirely to the conceptual content of their work and presented in two modalities: in thinking about the connections between already learned concepts and new ones, constructed here and now, and in understanding the thoughts of classmates about these connections. At the same time, the teacher's efforts in real educational interaction are directed primarily at interweaving the disparate threads of children's conceptual initiatives, and in this way, at building a form of cooperation that is adequate to the content of notions constructed by students.&lt;/p&gt;

I Am Thou, Thou Art I: Persona 5: The Royal’s: Representation of Post-Traumatic Growth Through Social Penetration Theory

In the Shin Megami Tensei series – Persona, one of the most prevalent themes that exists within the gameplay is the social link system. The protagonist creates friendships over the course of the narrative and deepens the bond with friends with increased interactions. As the number of interactions increase, so does the depth of the conversation.&#x0D; This study investigates the following objectives: 1) analyze how social interactions are presented in an in-game medium by means of social penetration, 2) determine how trauma is presented in Persona 5: The Royal and show how it is communicated as the relationship deepens, and 3) investigate frequencies of interactions between the protagonist and NPC’s as they demonstrate a coping mechanism through the means of post-traumatic growth.&#x0D; This case study will content analyze through the lens of coding categories such as Social Penetration Theory and the Post Traumatic Growth Index. Using these coding categories, authors will quantitatively analyze all confidant interactions through 10 levels of individual conversations increasing in depth. A content analysis was used to investigate these in-game themes.&#x0D; Using frequencies and Chi Square analysis, Affective stage and Stable stage from social penetration was the most frequent amongst the interactions, and while various trauma was present, Relating to Others was most prominent as the relationships deepened.&#x0D; The depths of interaction and coping through trauma was found to be quite similar to real world interactions and growing past trauma as a person relies on friends and family, and focuses on the future. These themes can be used to explain post traumatic growth, and could be utilized to empathize with clients who might be struggling with their own trauma.

Policía, ver para creer: Variación en percepciones y expectativas sociales sobre la Policía Militar

The present research had as core objective to identify the perception of the citizens about the performance of the military state police institutions, according to the opinion of the students of a private institution of higher education. It was a qualitative research, using questionnaires for data collection. The answers to the questions were evaluated both in terms of their classification, and in a more profound way, by identifying the structuring nuclei of the discourse. It was found that the general perceptions about the military state police were evenly distributed, between positive, negative or neutral. It was also found that the military state police had a better assessment of the participants' place of residence, in relation to other corporations in other states. It was noticed that, in general, considering the specificities of the studied group, the population is well informed about the attributions of the military state police. Regarding the formation of opinion, it was possible to identify a greater influence of information that is accessed through the media, than of real and personal interactions with the military state police. Finally, it was possible to verify the improvement of opinion about such institutions, when exposed to their positive actions, as well as the worsening of negative judgment, when exposed to situations of problematic or disastrous performance.
