Revitalized Pulis Sa Barangay (R-PSB) of the Philippine National Police has grown to be a mission to maintain the advancements made by government programs provided to the barangays, averting any possible resurgence of terrorists and protecting the public in general. This study determined the level of community awareness and performance of the Revitalized Pulis Sa Barangay in the City of Mati. A non experimental quantitative research design with a descriptive-correlational technique was utilized, and the researcher examined the relationship between community awareness and the performance of the Revitalized Pulis Sa Barangay team. There were 300 respondents chosen using a random sampling technique. Mean and Spearman’s rank-order correlation was used to analyze and interpret the data. Results in the study revealed that most respondents were 24-29 years of age, most were female, and most were from the Mandaya tribe who were high school undergraduates. Results of the study showed that the community was aware of visibility while fully aware of the activity programs implemented. Regarding the performance of the Revitalized Pulis Sa Barangay personnel, the findings also demonstrated a very high level of community safety and police-community ties, along with a very high level of law enforcement. The result of the study emphasized that police play a vital role in maintaining peace and security at the grassroots level of our communities. Thus, their presence signifiantly enhances safety and fosters a sense of security among residents.

Dynamic and quasi-static strength of additively repaired aluminum

Additive manufacturing has the potential to repair high value components, saving significant time and resources; however, the level of reliability and performance of additive repairs is still relatively unknown. In this work, the structure–property and performance of laser wire additive manufacturing repairs in 1100 aluminum are investigated. Two types of intentional damage are inflicted on the samples and subsequently repaired with pulsed laser deposition additive manufacturing. Quasi-static (10−3s−1) and high strain-rate (10−3s−1) mechanical testing is carried out with in situ diagnostics and post-mortem imaging. The results show that while the quasi-static strength and ductility of samples with a repaired region are lower than a pristine sample, the dynamic strength under shock loading is comparable. This work highlights both the potential utility of additive manufacturing for repair purposes, the significant risk of compromised performance of additive parts under specific conditions, and the need to test at varying strain rates to fully characterize material performance.

Perfil de ingreso para educación primaria

The objective of this research is to diagnose and propose the admission profile for university students. The research was quantitative, basic with a propositional design. The population was 30 students, 14 males and 16 females of the second cycle of primary education, academic semester 2023-II. The entire population was the sample. From the competency-based approach, we understand the entry profile as the set of three dimensions: cognitive (knowing how to know), procedural (knowing how to do) and attitudes and values (knowing how to be). In the diagnosis, research instruments were applied for each dimension, the results of which express that most students are at a medium and low level of academic performance, which requires providing them with greater support, such as facilitating their insertion, enhancing their capacities and completing their studies successfully, throughout the training process, with emphasis on the first and second year of university. We believe that all of the above allowed us to propose a more orderly and viable admission profile.

Kinerja Institusi DP3APPKB dalam Pelaksanaan Program Pelayanan Pusat Pembelajaran Keluarga Surabaya

Research related to the performance of the Department of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection as well as Population Control and Family Planning (DP3APPKB) in implementing the PUSPAGA Surabaya service program is an important thing to carry out considering that there are still high cases of child violence in Surabaya and the government of Surabaya must maintain its achievements as a Child Friendly City at a high level six times in a row. This research was conducted at DP3APPKB Surabaya. The purpose of this research is to determine, describe and analyze the level of organizational performance at the DP3APPKB Service in implementing the PUSPAGA Surabaya service program. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach. The theory used is the theory of organizational performance according to Soesilo in Tangkilisan (2005) which includes organizational structure, management policies, human resources, management information systems and facilities and infrastructure. This research is related to the performance of the organization at DP3APPKB in implementing the PUSPAGA Surabaya service program. The results of this research indicate that the performance of DP3APPKB Surabaya in implementing the PUSPAGA Surabaya service program has been carried out quite well, because there are still several obstacles such as, PUSPAGA public halls not carrying out tasks or job desks in accordance with the division of the organizational structure, unequal distribution of human resources in providing services PUSPAGA Surabaya, especially for public halls that do not receive volunteer assistance from DP3APPKB Surabaya. Furthermore, most Surabaya residents do not know the use of the SIAP PPAK application which is used as a tool to measure the success of online consultation services and database management in implementing the PUSPAGA Surabaya service program. The facilities and infrastructure of PUSPAGA Surabaya are quite good and have followed the guidelines from the Ministry of PPA, but this does not apply to PUSPAGA public halls.

Transitive inference in a clinical childhood sample with a focus on autism spectrum disorder.

Transitive inference (TI) has a long history in the study of human development. There have, however, few pediatric studies that report clinical diagnoses have tested trial-and-error TI learning, in which participants infer item relations, rather than evaluate them explicitly from verbal descriptions. Children aged 8-10 underwent a battery of clinical assessments and received a range of diagnoses, potentially including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), anxiety disorders (AD), specific learning disorders (SLD), and/or communication disorders (CD). Participants also performed a trial-and-error learning task that tested for TI. Response accuracy and reaction time were assessed using a statistical model that controlled for diagnostic comorbidity at the group level. Participants in all diagnostic categories showed evidence of TI. However, a model comparison analysis suggested that those diagnosed with ASD succeeded in a qualitatively different way, responding more slowly to each choice and improving faster across trials than their non-ASD counterparts. Additionally, TI performance was not associated with IQ. Overall, our data suggest that superficially similar performance levels between ASD and non-ASD participants may have resulted from a difference in the speed-accuracy tradeoff made by each group. Our work provides a preliminary profile of the impact of various clinical diagnoses on TI performance in young children. Of these, an ASD diagnosis resulted in the largest difference in task strategy.

Investigating the Relationship between Awareness, Beliefs, and Performance of Operating Room Students in Hand Hygiene with Analysis of Microbial Flora on Hands during the COVID-19 Pandemic

BackgroundHand hygiene compliance among hospital staff has always been recognized as an effective method in controlling and reducing hospital-acquired infections. Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, hand hygiene has emerged as one of the effective preventive measures against this disease, leading to increased awareness and concerns. This study aims to examine the awareness, beliefs, and practices of operating room students regarding hand hygiene, by analyzing the microbial flora on their hands during the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective is to assess the level of hand hygiene compliance among students, who will be future hospital employees. AimThis study aimed to investigate the correlation between the level of awareness, belief, and performance of operating room students regarding hand hygiene with the analysis of microbial hand flora during the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose was to examine the compliance with hand hygiene among students, who will be future hospital employees, during this pandemic. MethodologyThe present study included a sample of 92 students majoring in Operating Room who were enrolled in the research through a census. The data collection tool consisted of a questionnaire to assess the students' awareness, beliefs, and performance regarding hand hygiene and analysis of microbial flora on hands. Standard culture media including Blood Agar, Brilliant Green Agar, and Eosin Methylene Blue were used for isolating microorganisms. Microorganism identification was performed using biochemical tests. ResultsThe results of this study indicate that out of the participants, 65 were girls and 27 were boys with an average age of 21.9±2.3 years. The mean scores for awareness, belief, and performance were 8.9, 72.3, and 64.2, respectively. Analysis of microbiological flora also revealed that the highest growth microorganisms were epidermidis bacteria (26.6%), coagulase-negative staphylococci bacteria (22.9%), and streptococcus bacteria (21.2%). Discussion and ConclusionBased on the results of this study, operating room students have shown a high level of awareness, belief, and performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the minimal growth of bacteria in the conducted culture samples confirms this finding. Due to the limited availability of studies, it is recommended that further research be conducted in this area.

Impact of the Supply Chain on Sustainable and Business Performance During the COVID-19 Pandemic

The main objective of this empirical study is to provide empirical evidence that allows quantifying the impact of the supply chain on sustainable and firm performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. An electronic survey was applied to collect information on 65 manufacturing firms selected through simple random sampling, using the statistical technique of Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze the data obtained using the SmartPLS 4.0 software. Furthermore, the analysis carried out in this study identifies a need for more theoretical and, above all, empirical evidence in this area, which prevents the generalization of the results obtained. Likewise, the results suggest that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the supply chain positively impacted sustainable performance. However, an adverse effect was also detected on firm performance, so it is possible to conclude that the COVID-10 pandemic substantially improved the sustainable performance of manufacturing companies. However, it also generated a decrease in their level of firm performance.

A multi-actor perspective of humanised midwifery care excellence: An exploratory survey

Humanised midwifery care is a fundamental human right and need. This exploratory online survey presents a collective perception of meaningful standards of humanised midwifery care for excellent daily practice obtained from an international multi-actor group of maternity service users and providers. After performing a literature review, 137 key elements of humanised midwifery were extracted, listed, and rephrased into criteria. The criteria were distributed, and participants added 38 criteria. The perceived level of humanised midwifery performance was scored from 1 (low/substandard) to 10 (excellent). The 9–10 scores benchmarked humanised midwifery care excellence. 312 care professionals benchmarked 42 criteria, and 277 pregnant and postpartum women benchmarked 23 criteria showing a 30 % overlap. A total set of 50 criteria emerged, promoting humanised midwifery excellence. The benchmarking criteria suggest a shared conceptual thinking of person-centeredness and meaningfulness and provide a practical paradigm for the provision and receipt of humanised midwifery care.

A ferroptosis-associated prognostic model correlated with immune landscape and radiotherapy response in low-grade gliomas (LGGs)

Despite receiving comprehensive treatment, the prognosis for low-grade gliomas (LGGs) patients varies considerably. Recent studies have focused extensively on ferroptosis, across a range of tumor types. Nevertheless, methodologies to evaluate the efficacy of radiotherapy for LGGs, from the perspective of ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs), remain strikingly rare. In this study, we conducted a retrospective study on the transcriptional profiles of LGG patients from the public databases and a local cohort. An FRG model was developed and validated, exhibits heightened robustness when contrasted with the traditional ssGSEA model. Patients demonstrating higher FRG scores were identified as a high-risk group, displaying a worse prognosis. By incorporating the FRG score alongside other prognosis-associated clinical indicators, we formulated an enhanced nomogram to achieve a higher level of prediction performance. Additionally, among LGG patients receiving radiotherapy, a poorer prognosis was observed in the high-risk group. Further investigation revealed that samples from the high-risk group generally exhibit a TME in an immuno-suppressive state. Collectively, we developed an FRG model and a robust nomogram for LGG prognostication. This study suggests that a high FRG score, indicative of an immunosuppressive TME, could potentially lead to a less favorable prognosis for certain LGG patients receiving radiotherapy.

Damage assessment of self‐centering rocking piers using an input energy‐based damage prediction model coupled with self‐centering index

AbstractThe immediate functionality of bridges following severe earthquakes is vital for uninterrupted rescue operations. Regarding the significance of resiliency in bridges, post‐tensioned (PT) rocking piers with low residual displacements and minimal damages have developed over the past few decades. The rocking mechanism at two ends of the pier avoids bending moments and excessive flexural damage. The self‐centering (SC) capacity in this system is provided through post‐tensioning forces. Concerning optimum seismic design and retrofit purposes, it is essential to predict the actual degree of seismic damage and SC capacity of PT rocking systems after seismic hazards. In this case, a self‐centering index (SI) is proposed to evaluate the SC capacity when piers are subjected to cyclic and seismic loadings. This SI, when used in co‐operation with a viable damage prediction model, predicts whether or not the piers remain reparable under cyclic or seismic loading scenarios. After comparing a number of energy‐based damage indices, all of which consider the cumulative hysteresis energy, with the input energy‐based damage index (IEB‐DI), the latter was calibrated against observed damages under cyclic loading tests. This DI was chosen as the most suitable damage prediction model and was considered to be simply applicable after time history analysis. In this study, the seismic performance of a seismic‐resistant dual system, consisting of three RC bents along with an SC bent, was evaluated using the aforementioned damage limit states and the introduced SI. The damage predictions of the monolithic bridge, as the reference model, were compared with the estimated damage to the dual bridge. The results show that the joint application of the IEB‐DI and the proposed SI in predicting the performance level of SC rocking piers results in a comprehensive damage prediction model.

Monocular BEV Perception of Road Scenes via Front-to-Top View Projection.

HD map reconstruction is crucial for autonomous driving. LiDAR-based methods are limited due to expensive sensors and time-consuming computation. Camera-based methods usually need to perform road segmentation and view transformation separately, which often causes distortion and missing content. To push the limits of the technology, we present a novel framework that reconstructs a local map formed by road layout and vehicle occupancy in the bird's-eye view given a front-view monocular image only. We propose a front-to-top view projection (FTVP) module, which takes the constraint of cycle consistency between views into account and makes full use of their correlation to strengthen the view transformation and scene understanding. In addition, we apply multi-scale FTVP modules to propagate the rich spatial information of low-level features to mitigate spatial deviation of the predicted object location. Experiments on public benchmarks show that our method achieves various tasks on road layout estimation, vehicle occupancy estimation, and multi-class semantic estimation, at a performance level comparable to the state-of-the-arts, while maintaining superior efficiency.

Changes in the importance and performance of low-sodium management among childcare center cooks in Yongin, South Korea, after salinometer support programs: a descriptive study

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the importance and performance of sodium reduction practices among childcare center cooks in the Yongin area before and after a 3-month salinometer support program. Methods: In total, 313 cooks employed in childcare centers in Yongin were surveyed before and after participating in a salinometer support program. The survey included questions on general information, sodium-related dietary habits, and perceived importance and performance levels of sodium reduction approaches in the purchasing, cooking, and serving areas. The centers were divided into childcare centers registered as group-feeding facilities (FS group, n = 68) and those not registered as such (non-FS group, n = 245). The differences between the two groups were analyzed. Results: The overall importance levels increased significantly after the program in both the FS-group (P < 0.001) and non-FS group (P = 0.005). The overall performance levels also increased significantly in both groups (P < 0.001 for all). Consequently, the significant difference between the importance and performance levels disappeared in both groups after the program. However, unlike the FS group, which showed no significant differences between the importance and performance levels after the program in all three areas, the non-FS group still demonstrated lower performance levels than importance levels in the purchasing (P = 0.011) and serving (P = 0.034) areas after the program. Conclusions: The use of salinometers significantly enhanced the performance and importance of low-sodium management practices among cooks in childcare centers, especially in the FS group. The continuous monitoring of salinity measurements and tailored education specialized for the FS and non-FS groups are recommended.

Perspectives of Surgical Research Residents on Improving Their Reentry Into Clinical Training

Concerns exist about clinical and operative skill decay in surgery residents when they dedicate time away from clinical training to pursue research. However, it remains undetermined how to best prevent these negative impacts. Our study evaluated the perspectives of surgical research residents on interventions to improve their reentry into clinical training. An anonymous web-based survey was distributed between 5/01/2023 and 6/01/2023 to 102 current and former (within the previous 3 years) general surgery research residents from 4 academic medical centers in Boston, MA. Survey response rate was 35.3% (36/102 residents). About 22 of 36 residents (61.1%) felt that their clinical aptitude decreased during the research years, whereas 33 of 36 (91.7%) reported reduced surgical skills. When reflecting on their re-entry to residency, former research residents reported feeling anxious and less confident (3.84/5 on a 1-5 Likert scale) as well as being below the expected level of clinical performance (3.42/5). Most of them (12 of 17; 70.6%) reported that it took up to 6 months, whereas 5 of them (29.4%) up to 12 months to feel at the expected level. When compared to nonmoonlighting residents, those who moonlighted often and operated during moonlighting, denied a decrease in clinical and surgical skills, and reported less anxiety, higher confidence, and a quicker return to the expected level of performance. Interventions proposed for improving their clinical re-entry included individualized development plans for 3 months before returning to clinical training, established curriculum for clinical work throughout the research years, clinical preceptorships throughout the research years, and simulation curriculum throughout the research years. General surgery residents feel that their clinical and surgical skills decreased during the research years, leading to anxiety and lack of confidence when returning to residency. Therefore, comprehensive interventions are needed to improve the reentry of the research residents into clinical training.

Work Motivation of Higher Secondary Teachers

The term work motivation refers reasons that emanating from individual's intrinsic values to choose to teach and sustaining teaching, and the intensity of teacher motivation which is indicated by effort expanded on teaching as influenced by a number of contextual factors. Atkinson (1964) defined work motivation as the contemporary immediate influences on the direction, vigour and persistence of action. Teacher’s work motivation depends on teacher’s assertiveness to his work. Work motivation is a set of active forces that originate within and beyond an individual's, to initiate work-related behaviour and to determine its form, direction, intensity and duration. Work motivation helps a teacher to increase his performance level and willingness towards a task. It is important for any school or college to understand and create a healthy atmosphere to encourage productive and enthusiastic behaviours in teachers. The present study aimed to conduct a differential analysis on the work motivation of higher secondary teachers with respect to certain background variables namely, gender (men & women), marital status (married & unmarried), subject (arts & science) of teacher and locality (rural & urban) and nature (government, govt. aided & self-financed) of school. The teachers working at higher secondary level in higher secondary schools of Karur District of Tamil Nadu State were the population of the present study. The findings of the present study revealed significant difference in the work motivation of higher secondary teachers based on their gender and marital status. Women teachers and married teachers reported to have cultivated better work motivation than unmarried teachers and men teachers. With regard to locality of school, teachers from urban schools were better than the teachers from rural schools in their work motivation. Also, the findings revealed no significant difference in the work motivation of higher secondary teachers based on their subject (arts & science) and the nature (govt, govt. aided & self-financed) of school. It is assured that the findings of the present study would help teachers and administrators of schools to look for the ways of enhancing work motivation in them. Also the findings of the present study would be helpful in imbibing the importance and the needy values of work motivation by the teachers at all levels.

The Influence of Management Accounting Information Systems on Managerial Performance with Business Strategy as a Moderating Variable

This study aims to examine and provide empirical evidence on the influence of management accounting information systems on managerial performance with the impact of business strategy on LPDs (Village Credit Institutions) in South Denpasar district. Village Credit Institutions are financial institutions owned by the Pakraman Village, where their business activities focus on lending, collecting savings, and distributing them through effective and targeted credit to assist lower-middle economic groups. The development of LPDs has been rapid and continues to grow each year, with nearly every Adat/Pakraman Village in Bali having its own LPD. The success of a company in developing its business can be seen from the level of managerial performance. The availability of information enhances management’s ability to understand the actual environmental conditions and helps identify relevant activities. The use of the business strategy variable is based on the premise that companies following different strategies will require different information characteristics. Therefore, aligning business strategy with the necessary information is expected to improve managerial performance.

Classification and segmentation of kidney MRI images for chronic kidney disease detection

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a common ailment with significant public health implications, underscoring the critical importance of early detection and diagnosis for effective management. Our research focuses on utilizing deep learning models to accurately classify and segment kidney MRI images, aiding in the timely detection and diagnosis of CKD. Utilizing the Zenodo dataset comprising 1299 kidney MRI images from 100 T2-weighted abdomen MRI scans, our investigation reveals that Vision Transformers (ViT) based model EfficientNet_b1 exhibited superior performance compared to other models. It achieved an accuracy of 94.38% in distinguishing between healthy and CKD cases in kidney MRI image classification. Moreover, the pretrained models Densenet201 and VGG19, as well as the ViT-based models EfficientNet_b1 and tf_mobilenetv3_large_075, demonstrate remarkable sensitivity and accuracy while compared to identifying kidney MRI images which highlights the effectiveness of deep learning architectures in identifying diseases. Additionally, our segmentation analysis reveals that our proposed network, Resnet18-Self-ONN-UNet++, adeptly delineates kidney structures. The network shows remarkable performance in medical diagnosis and treatment planning, with an Intersection over Union (IoU) of 82.34% and DS of 91.57% when integrated with the Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) preprocessing technique and Simultaneous truth and performance level estimation (STAPLE) as post processing technique. In summary, deep learning-driven kidney MRI image classification and segmentation enhance medical imaging analysis, potentially aiding in early CKD diagnosis and treatment, thereby addressing critical public health concerns, and enhancing patient outcomes.

Exercise and Acute Cognitive Enhancement.

Substantial research has explored the effects of a single session of exercise on cognitive performance. Meta-analytic reviews provide summary statistics relative to these effects when the cognitive task is performed while exercising and when performed after exercise. When performed concomitantly the effects of exercise are typically small or negative with the exception of moderate effects for speed of cognitive performance during moderate intensity exercise. When cognitive performance is assessed following the cessation of exercise, the effects are typically positive. When considering the effects following exercise, most studies have focused on executive function and episodic memory as the cognitive outcomes of interest with meta-analyses supporting small-to-moderate benefits. When potential moderators related to exercise parameters or participants characteristics are examined, results suggest that 20 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity exercise consistently benefits performance with larger effects evident for executive function tasks with higher cognitive demands, for long-term memory tasks when exercise is performed prior to information encoding, and when considering individuals with lower initial cognitive performance levels. These observed benefits are likely due to the impacts acute exercise can have on physiological arousal, brain function, and brain neurotrophic factors. Advancements in our understanding of the potential of a single session of exercise to benefit cognitive performance are important for exercise prescription and to inform chronic exercise programs designed to benefit cognition.

Interplay of Na Substitution in Magnetic Interaction and Photocatalytic Properties of Ca1-xNaxTi0.5Ta0.5O3 Perovskite Nanoparticles.

This research paper delves into the enhancement of wastewater treatment through the design and synthesis of advanced photocatalytic materials, focusing on the effects of sodium (Na) substitution in Ca1-xNaxTa0.5Ti0.5O3 perovskites. By employing various analytical techniques such as X-ray diffraction, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy and UV-vis spectroscopy, the study examines the transition of these perovskites from tetragonal to orthorhombic structures and observes a reduction in Ca content with Na substitution, which also favors the cubic phase formation and inhibits secondary phases. Significantly, magnetic property analysis uncovers an unexpected ferromagnetic ordering in these perovskites, including compositions traditionally viewed as non-magnetic. The photocatalytic tests reveal a significant improvement in degrading Rhodamine B dye under visible light, particularly in samples with higher Na levels, attributed to enhanced light absorption and efficient electron processes. The study highlights the optimal Na substitution level for peak photocatalytic performance, offering valuable insights into the complex interplay between structural, magnetic, and photocatalytic properties of these perovskites, and their potential in various applications, thereby contributing to the advancement of wastewater treatment technologies.

Biomechanical and morphological determinants of maximal jumping performance in callitrichine monkeys.

Jumping is a crucial behavior in fitness-critical activities including locomotion, resource acquisition, courtship displays, and predator avoidance. In primates, paleontological evidence suggests selection for enhanced jumping ability during their early evolution. However, our interpretation of the fossil record remains limited, as no studies have explicitly linked levels of jumping performance with interspecific skeletal variation. We used force platform analyses to generate biomechanical data on maximal jumping performance in three genera of callitrichine monkeys falling along a continuum of jumping propensity: Callimico (relatively high propensity jumper), Saguinus (intermediate jumping propensity), and Callithrix (relatively low propensity jumper). Individuals performed vertical jumps to perches of increasing height within a custom-built tower. We coupled performance data with high-resolution μCT data quantifying bony features thought to reflect jumping ability. Levels of maximal performance between species - e.g., maximal takeoff velocity of the center of mass (CoM) - parallel established gradients of jumping propensity. Both biomechanical analysis of jumping performance determinants (e.g., CoM displacement, maximal force production, peak mechanical power during push-off) and multivariate analyses of bony hindlimb morphology highlight different mechanical strategies among taxa. For instance, Callimico, which has relatively long hindlimbs, followed a strategy of fully extending of the limbs to maximize CoM displacement - rather than force production - during push-off. In contrast, relatively shorter-limbed Callithrix depended mostly on relatively high push-off forces. Overall, these results suggest that leaping performance is at least partially associated with correlated anatomical and behavioral adaptations, suggesting the possibility of better inferring performance from the fossil record.
