The Enlightenment Significance and Value Function of Aesthetic Psychological Structure Theory to Contemporary Aesthetic Education

In today's quality education, aesthetic education has become an important subject of modern education. Combined with the practice of aesthetic education, this paper discusses the nature, function, process and method of the construction of aesthetic psychology comprehensively. Using the "intermediary" of aesthetic psychological structure, cultivate and improve students 'aesthetic imagination, as the key point and breakthrough of aesthetic education teaching, and improve students' aesthetic psychological structure, so as to create a new situation of "hard teaching" into "happy teaching" and "hard learning" into "happy learning". The paper discusses the internal relationship between aesthetic education and the construction of aesthetic psychology. Only when the aesthetic psychological structure of the learning subject is constantly improved, the power of aesthetics will gradually emerge. In the construction of aesthetic psychology, the learning subject can be self-shaping, self-perfection until self-realization. Through aesthetic education to change people's way of thinking, create the comprehensive and harmonious development of human beings, teach people how to have the ability to appreciate and create beauty, and at the same time is closely related to everyone's aesthetic psychological structure. Therefore, aesthetic education is actually the educational process of how to construct people's aesthetic psychological structure at a higher level. Therefore, the aesthetic psychological structure is a very important concept, which not only affects the improvement of individual aesthetic ability, but also has enlightening significance on how to conduct aesthetic education. It is the most fundamental task and purpose to promote students to construct their own aesthetic psychological structure and improve the national quality.

Mejora funcional en personas mayores frágiles mediante el programa de ejercicios Vivifrail, durante dos años de pandemia

Background and objectivePhysical exercise increases functional capacity in older adults, helping to prevent or delay dependence. This study evaluates the impact of a multicomponent physical exercise intervention based on the Vivifrail program, conducted in a primary care center over two years coinciding with the COVID pandemic. Subjects and methodsDescriptive longitudinal design with before-after comparison without control group. Participants were older than 65 years old with functional impairment measured by execution test, enrolled in the El Palo Health Center, Málaga. The intervention consists of two weekly group sessions of physical exercise guided by a monitor, according to the Vivifrail program. Variables: Barthel Index, Gait Speed, Vivifrail Category, Quality of Life (EuroQol 5-D [EQ-5D]), use of walking aids, number of falls in the previous year. Measurements: baseline, second (one year) and final (two years). Analysis of the Kruskal-Wallis test, significance level 0.05. ResultsTwenty patients were evaluated. Between the first and second evaluation, we observed a significant modification in the use of walking aids (p 0.01) and Vivifrail categories: from an initial B category, 50% remained, 25% moved to A, 16.7% to C2 and 8.3% to D (p 0.048). In the analysis of the baseline-final evaluation, we found a statistically significant improvement in quality of life measured by EQ-5D (mean increase of 24 points in today's quality of life measurement, EQ-5D thermometer, with 95% CI (9.6-38.3), p 0.004) and Vivifrail category (n=10) with 60% remaining in category B and 40% moving to D (autonomous) (p<0.0001). There was a trend towards improvement in gait speed, daily walking time, and number of falls, but without reaching statistical significance. ConclusionsMulticomponent physical exercise improves perceived quality of life measured by EQ-5D and leads to a trend towards improvement in functional capacity, mood, and number of falls.

Air Quality Prediction using Machine Learning and Cloud Computing

Abstract: Because humans rely so heavily on air for their survival, air quality has also become a topic of controversy. Today's air quality is quite dangerous for human intake due to the rising urbanization. Many people die each year as a result of respiratory ailments brought on by breathing in poor air. Urbanization cannot be prevented, but there must be a human warning system that allows a person to be informed of dangerous air pollution in the area. A person can choose an alternative route of travel or decide not to go somewhere if the pollution levels are excessive. In an effort to find a cooperative solution to the issue, we will try to research numerous papers written by other authors. So, in order to fulfill our goal of predicting air pollution, we must first gather information about the weather's impact on air quality. After gathering data for a particular location, we will construct a training dataset that will be used to train the XGBoost machine learning algorithm, which will forecast the results of the training data input. Then these trained model will be integrated with the web module. The web module will take input and predict the air quality index based on it.

The Global Digital Economy and the Spirit of Indonesian "Product" Nationalism

This study aims to determine the position of the Indonesian people's spirit of nationalism in facing today's free and quality global digital economy market. This type of research is literature research with a descriptive qualitative paradigm. This paper used secondary data from Bank Indonesia, UNDP Indonesia, the Indonesian Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, Global Digital Insights, Google and Temasek, Bain &amp; Company, related national and international scientific articles, and various other sources and analyzed inductively. The research results found; First. The development of Indonesia's digital economy is now penetrating many aspects of human life, including culture, technology finance, tourism and the creative economy, in addition to trade, services and other key sectors. All of these sectors have great potential in the global digital economy market. The difficulty of Indonesian MSMEs in developing digital businesses is also influenced by capital and the low power of innovation. Second, the spirit of nationalism for Indonesian products is faced with the development of the global digital economy market, which has the potential to threaten or otherwise grow the country's economy. The degradation of Indonesian nationalism due to the development of the massive global digital economy has greatly affected various aspects of life, including the economy, culture, and lifestyle of the younger generation. Economic nationalism must be used as branding among 270 million Indonesians to love domestic products.

Evaluation of Quality Principles from the Islamic Perspective

Quality is a phenomenon whose existence dates back to the first period of human history. Before the industrial revolution, quality was realized through mutual interaction between the person producing the service or the product and the customer. Customer's satisfaction was an important factor in determining the quality. In the development of quality, which had many different and simple applications in the past, a new era started with the industrial revolution, and new developments occurred in the principles, visibility, and applications of quality. In this period, with an increase in products and services, the masters working in production started to work in the background, and the direct contact between the producer and the customer was weakened and even disappeared. As a result of this, employers offering products and services developed new systems such as inspection, statistical quality control, and total quality management to ensure quality. Quality has reached its current form with total quality management. Studies in this field continue to expand and increase in many areas such as education and health. The understanding of quality has spread throughout the world with the development of communication and transportation facilities and the spread of global trade, and eventually, it has come to a position that affects many societies, including Muslims. Muslims, who have trained many important philosophers and scientists in many fields throughout history, also established many major and developed states and pioneered many areas of life. At this point, the fact that Muslims are at the center of important progress and developments in every field in a period and environment where there is no modern understanding of quality necessitates investigating the motivation behind this situation. Likewise, it makes it necessary to answer the questions; "Do the issues known as quality principles take place in the set of rules and principles brought by Islam?", “To what extent are the principles of quality compatible with the principles of Islam?” For this reason, in this study, it is aimed to examine the quality, its principles, and their development processes, to evaluate them within the framework of Islamic principles, and to determine the perspective of Islam on this issue. The study is limited to the evaluation of the planning, implementation, control, and precautionary phases of the Plan-do-check-act cycle (PDCA cycle), which focus on quality, customer orientation, the leadership of the senior management, continuous improvement, and its mechanism. Unlike previous studies, it is thought that the study, which is evaluated in terms of Islamic principles based on the principles of total quality management, will contribute to the literature with this dimension. Moreover, it is thought that it will support the awareness of quality principles that contributed to the advancements made by Muslims in many fields, especially in science, and will also provide Muslims with a perspective on today's quality understanding. In this study, studies and documents on today's quality and principles were used. Primary sources were also used by reaching the works of many experts on the subject, especially Edward Deming, who is known as the pioneer of quality, and today's academic studies were taken into consideration and used. The evaluation of quality principles was made within the framework of the Qurʾān and Sunnah, which are the main sources of Islam. During the study, a number of verses and ḥadīths related to quality principles were used, some examples from the Qurʾān and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muḥammad were given, considering that this would increase the volume of the study, and not all of the verses and ḥadīths were mentioned. At the end of the study, it has been found that “the leadership of the top management, customer centricity, continuous improvement, doing the works firstly with the stakeholders and in accordance with the plan, obtaining results by following the applications, evaluating the obtained results together with the relevant internal and external stakeholders and making improvements in the final step” which are among the principles of quality take place among the principles that Islam has set, with different dimensions. Likewise, it has been understood that the religious teachings and the practices of the Prophet Muḥammad are an important source of motivation for Muslims to achieve significant success and to do quality work.

179 Today's Beef Quality Assurance Program: Rancher Involvement and the Future of Developing Sustainability Programs

Abstract To date the most successful rancher educational program has been the beef quality assurance (BQA) program. However, it is not understood why ranchers chose to become BQA certified. Without this knowledge it becomes increasingly difficult to build new rancher educational and sustainability focused programs. To gain insight on current BQA program involvement and application of BQA best management practices (BMP) we administered an online multi-state survey to cattle ranchers in collaboration with state Cattlemen’s Associations. In total, the survey consisted of 45 questions and was divided into 3 sections including: 1) rancher demographics, 2) BQA participation and current BQA BMP, and 3) willingness to join new rancher sustainability program. Of the survey participants (n=884) ranchers that were BQA certified at any time were less likely to administer injections in areas other than the neck compared with ranchers who were not certified (p&amp;lt; 0.05), demonstrating the effectiveness of the BQA program. More than 87% (n=542) of survey respondents listed “improving animal health and welfare” as one of their top three reasons for joining BQA, while only 22% (n=137) listed “animals fetching a higher price”. This result highlights that although financial incentive was a factor in program adoption, animal health and welfare was at the forefront of ranchers’ minds. The survey indicated that ranchers who were male, ranched for a greater number of years, grazed more total acres, and received a larger percent of income from ranching were more likely to be BQA certified (p&amp;lt; 0.05). Finally, those who were BQA members were more likely to state that joining a rancher sustainability program would be beneficial to their operation (p&amp;lt; 0.05). Overall, this survey provides insight into BQA program and BMP adoption and demonstrates that the BQA program could be a possible framework for creating a successful rancher sustainability program.

Using a dynamic mass balance model to predict fate and transport of PCBs in a polluted boreal lake in Sweden

In 2013, a screening survey including fish (European perch, Perca fluviatilis) from 20 locations in the Stockholm region of Sweden indicated exceptionally high levels of PCBs (>450 ng ΣPCB7/g ww) in Lake Oxundasjön. An extensive sampling program was launched to define the magnitude and area of impact of PCBs. Moreover, a dynamic mass balance model approach was applied to identify and quantify key transport processes and predict the long-term turnover of PCBs given various remediation scenarios.Based on the dating of sediment profiles, primary emissions of PCBs to Lake Oxundasjön have likely occurred from the end of the 1940s until 1980, reaching the lake via one of its tributaries. Presently, the main source of PCBs is diffusion from the lake sediments. From the lake outlet, >400 g ΣPCB7/yr are transported to Lake Mälaren (the third largest lake in Sweden), supplying drinking water for parts of the Stockholm area. Remediation actions are necessary to reduce the PCB levels in fish below today's marketing limits and environmental quality standards. With natural recovery, our results indicate that the PCB levels in non-migratory fish from Lake Oxundasjön will be elevated for decades to come.The mass of PCBs stored in the lake sediments was estimated, and to our knowledge, Lake Oxundasjön is the most heavily PCB contaminated lake in Sweden. The system constitutes a unique opportunity to test and develop a mathematical mass balance model for PCBs, with substantial data acquired from different aquatic matrices. The model presented in the paper is applicable for risk assessments of PCBs, and the results contribute to the general understanding of the transport and turnover dynamics of PCBs in aquatic ecosystems.

Improvements in Productivity and Quality for Ductile Iron Flange Castings Using Simulation Technique

An important element of the automobile manufacturing process involves the utilization of foundries. Today's foundries' quality and output are low because of variations in the casting process's many variables. The solidification procedure following pouring is crucial to the final quality of the casting. In order to plan the casting process for making castings before castings are produced or before new or better equipment is built, foundries are increasingly turning to computerized casting modelling and solidification simulation. With the use of computerized casting modelling and solidification simulation, manufacturers may improve the quality of their castings at a lower cost, without sacrificing quantity. As a result of casting solidification simulation, the number of trials performed on the shop floor may be cut significantly, and defect-free castings can be guaranteed. Finite element method (FEM), finite difference method (FDM), and finite volume method (FVM) are the theoretical basis of the casting simulation methods (FVM). In this study, we explore the application of the finite difference method (FDM) and the finite volume method (FVM) to simulate the solidification of a casting and to optimise the casting gating system for maximum yield. This research looks at how modelling and simulation can help improve our understanding of Flange. Flanges are made of ductile iron using a shell moulding method. Mechanically, ductile iron may be used to make a variety of vehicle components.

Should firms use digital work instructions?—Individual learning in an agile manufacturing setting

AbstractNew technological innovations in robotics, automation, and digitization enable agile manufacturing, smaller lot sizes, and quicker changes to the product and the production process. In such environments, learning is important, since workers must learn new tasks and adapt to frequent changes quickly. In an experimental study, we compare digital work instructions with traditional paper‐based ones, the latter still being common in today's quality management systems. Our analysis is based on subjects working in the demonstration factory of a large German university in a realistic work environment; it, therefore, guarantees high internal and external validity. We show that digitally animated, interactive work instructions are an effective way to foster faster learning and enhanced performance when new manufacturing tasks are being carried out. Our results indicate that a combination of digital and traditional paper‐based instructions does not yield any advantages over a sole reliance on digital learning.

Individualised care in Flemish and Dutch hospitals: Comparing patients' and nurses' perceptions.

Patient-centred care has been recognised as vital for today's healthcare quality. This type of care puts patients at the centre, contributing to positive patient outcomes such as patient autonomy. Empirical research comparing nurses' and patients' perceptions of the support and provision of patient-centred care is limited and focuses solely on nurses and patients working and staying on surgical wards. Comparing patients' and nurses' perceptions of patient-centred care on different types of hospital wards, and exploring if patient empowerment, health literacy, and certain sociodemographic and context-related variables are associated with these perceptions. Cross-sectional design. Data were collected in ten Flemish (February-June 2016) and two Dutch (December 2014-May 2015) hospitals using the Individualised Care Scale (ICS). A linear mixed model was fitted. Data from 845 patients and 569 nurses were analysed. As the ICS was used to measure the concept of patient-centred care, it is described using the term 'individualised care.' Nurses perceived that they supported and provided individualised care more compared with patients as they scored significantly higher on the ICS compared with patients. Patients with higher empowerment scores, higher health literacy, a degree lower than bachelor, a longer hospital stay, and patients who were employed and who were admitted to Dutch hospitals scored significantly higher on some of the ICS subscales/subsections. Nurses who were older and more experienced and those working in Dutch hospitals, regional hospitals and maternity wards scored significantly higher on some of the ICS subscales/subsections. Nurses perceived that they supported and provided individualised care more compared with patients. Creating a shared understanding towards the support and provision of individualised care should be a priority as this could generate more effective nursing care that takes into account the individuality of the patient.

A Blockchain Based Lifelong Learning Platform: The Smart University

According to today's education system, the content, applicability, quality and performance measurement criteria of the courses may vary according to countries, educational institutions and educators. Because of incorrect performance measurement, hidden skills disappear before they appear. Thanks to the graduation diploma it is observed that people with less than professional knowledge and skills come to better places than those who are more knowledgeable and skilled. In addition, due to the lack of a proper training plan according to the target learning community, boredom and financial problems may arise due to long periods of education. In this study, while trying to avoid material and temporal problems, a blockchain-based lifelong learning platform whose content, processing, reliability, decentralized, open to continuous and rapid accessibility, and evaluation criteria and method is completely objective is proposed. Thanks to this platform, the diplomas to be received by the students who have successfully passed the end-of-education exams will be time-stamped, immutable, safe and traceable. At the same time, all these documents, storage of training contents, diplomas, certificates, post-training exams and all related files , will be kept accessible, secure and immutable thanks to IPFS, the Inter Planetary File System. Achievements, employer and employee pools to be created according to the achievements, and a recruitment contract to be realized will be controlled by smart contracts and absolute reliability and objectivity will be ensured. All these concepts will be made available through a decentralized application (DApp) which will run on a private blockchain network that requires a partial permission to be established.

A Metric-Based Approach for Quality Evaluation in Distributed Networking Systems

The distributed networking system is a dominant paradigm in the industry. In today's network industry, security and Quality of service (QoS) are two key services. The distributed network deals with an entire range of parameters coming from different applications. Therefore, it is of great significance to determine a set of key parameters and draw meaningful evaluation outcomes. On the other hand, security mechanisms provide user identification, authentication, consistency and information protection over the distributed environment. This research presents some analyses which draw connections between QoS and security of distributed networks. Then, a metric-based quantifying methodology is presented which quantifies network quality using QoS and security metrics. The QoS quantifying method is then further elaborated. The efficiency of this method is investigated using a range of simulation studies. The simulation analysis and results indicate that the proposed approach facilitates better QoS management and monitoring of the distributed networking systems.

The system TQM - Total Quality Management (TQM) is a philosophy that the tourism developed countries finds its application and includes a number of activities to be undertaken in quality assurance. The long-term source of revenue for the company are satisfied customers, both positive propaganda which they perform, thus affecting the new, potential guests, as well as restoring and repeated visits.

Out-in, in-out buyer quality innovation pathways for new product outcome: Empirical evidence from the Chinese consumer goods industry

In today's dynamic environment, quality innovation and new product development (NPD) are the key factors in gaining competitive advantage. However, the quality innovation process is a complex procedure, because it may combine internal and external resource requirements to meet customer expectations. This paper reviews two quality innovation pathways and their respective NPD performances based on the joint supplier-buyer relationship within the fast consumer goods (FCGs) industry. Specifically, we study buyers’ quality innovation potential using ‘out-in,’ which is the identification of quality innovative suppliers, and ‘in-out,’ which is buyers’ quality knowledge transfer ability to suppliers. Our dyadic data from both buyers and suppliers reveal that the supplier's innovation ability and passion is the dominating factor, irrespective of quality innovation pathways, in the context of the Chinese consumer goods industry. However, cooperative attitude and the cost reduction ability of suppliers are the differentiating factors.

Air quality improvement in Los Angeles—perspectives for developing cities

Air quality improvement in Los Angeles, California is reviewed with an emphasis on aspects that may inform air quality policy formulation in developing cities. In the mid-twentieth century the air quality in Los Angeles was degraded to an extent comparable to the worst found in developing cities today; ozone exceeded 600 ppb and annual average particulate matter <10 μm reached ~150 mg∙m–3. Today's air quality is much better due to very effective emission controls; e.g., modern automobiles emit about 1% of the hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide emitted by vehicles of 50 years ago. An overview is given of the emission control efforts in Los Angeles and their impact on ambient concentrations of primary and secondary pollutants; the costs and health benefits of these controls are briefly summarized. Today's developing cities have new challenges that are discussed: the effects of regional pollution transport are much greater in countries with very high population densities; often very large current populations must be supplied with goods and services even while economic development and air quality concerns are addressed; and many of currently developing cities are located in or close to the tropics where photochemical processing of pollution is expected to be more rapid than at higher latitudes. The air quality issues of Beijing are briefly compared and contrasted with those of Los Angeles, and the opportunities for co-benefits for climate and air quality improvement are pointed out.

REFINET: REthinking Future Infrastructure NETworks

The European transport infrastructure network is considered as the lifeblood of European trade and society, and is commonly regarded as a shared heritage of great economic value. But it is also recognised today that this network is composed of many existing infrastructures that no longer fulfil the current functional requirements and today's safety and quality standards, and requires refurbishment and increased capacities, potentially relying on innovative technologies, components and systems. The ECTP (European Construction Technology Platform) reFINE (Research for Future Infrastructure Networks in Europe) initiative aims at the development and delivery of innovative design, construction, maintenance and upgrading concepts and solutions that promote and strengthen seamless transport links for passenger and freight, while keeping up with future technological trends. The REFINET European Coordination action is an instrument supporting the reFINE initiative: based on a sustainable research network that integrates relevant stakeholders’ representatives of all transport modes (road, railway, maritime, fluvial…) and transport infrastructure sectors. Its primary objective is to create a shared European vision of how the multimodal European transport infrastructure network of the future should be specified, designed, built, renovated, and maintained, and elaborate a SIP (Strategic Implementation Plan) that will define the innovation activities required to make this vision a reality.

The Application of Modern Powder Characterisation Methods in Product and Process Development of Solid Dosage Forms

The pharmaceutical industry still produces the vast majority of their products, from powdered ingredients, in the form of solid doses. Despite their ubiquity, powders are difficult materials to characterise and understand, as evidenced by the frequent problems encountered during manufacture. The reason for this is their complex rheological behaviour coupled with numerous environmental variations, such as humidity. Equally, the range of processes used to manipulate powders subject them to extremes of stress from high compaction loads seen in compactors to the dispersed state seen in fluidised bed dryers. Thus, it is evident that ensuring that the powders characteristics are compatible with the way they are to be processed is a clear prerequisite for today's Quality by Design driven manufacturing. Modern, computer controlled instrumental techniques, including the dynamic, bulk and shear property measurements have enabled direct measurements of a powders response to aeration, consolidation and flow rate - all at low stresses - as well as quantifying shear and bulk properties (such as density, compressibility and permeability). In order to demonstrate how fully characterising a powder can be used in the design, operation and troubleshooting of processes, this paper will present examples of common pharmaceutical unit operations and the different powder characteristics that most influence the performance of each.

A study on the role of vamanam on serum bilirubin and calcium levels

Introduction: Normal pitta maintains normal hepatic metabolism. Serum bilirubin and calcium levels are associated with hepatic function. Vamanam and Sweda Karma increase agni, which in turn affects the liver metabolism. The raised agni after sweda and vamanam increase the metabolic activity of the body. Today's quality of food and dietary habits, lifestyle, and changes in seasons are often the cause of saturation of toxins in the body, which according to Ayurveda are malas and aam, and these are also the cause for vitiation of the doshas. When the body becomes free from this malas, aam (toxic materials), and vitiated doshas, a state of good health can be achieved. Ayurveda has the best therapies in the form of Panchakarma to make the body free from these disease-causing factors. Aim: Is to study on the role of vamanam on serum bilirubin and calcium levels. To study the bodily changes after Vamana Karma. Materials and Methods: 40 patients of Tamakaswasa and Sidhma Kushta divided into two group each consisting of 20 patients. The treated group patients were divided into 10 each of Tamakaswasa and Sidhma Kushta managed with Snehapana, Sweda Karma and finally with Vamana Karma. Effects of Snehapana, Sweda and Vamanam on serum bilirubin, calcium were evaluated before treatment, after Sneha, Sweda and at the end of the treatment. Results: Marginal changes seen in this study. 85% symptoms relieved in both the diseases. Conclusion: Vamana can improve the functional and metabolic activities of the body. The clinical signs and symptoms were decreased after Vamana Karma.
