Providing a Pattern and Planning Method for Footpaths and Sidewalks to Protect Deteriorated and Vulnerable Urban Contexts

This research seeks to answer this question to prevent the waste of capital in routes without potential and allocate facilities and facilities to routes with potential to encourage people to move on foot on short trips. Through what criteria and indicators can the existing potential of the roads be measured, and as a result, by finding the optimal routes for pedestrian traffic, one of the most important problems of the public's lack of acceptance of non-motorized transportation can be solved. At first, by using the descriptive-analytical research method, through library studies, the existing literature in this field and also the experiences of other countries of the world and Iran have been investigated. In this way, the theoretical framework of the research has been formed and effective criteria and indicators have been extracted in measuring the potential of roads for pedestrian movement. In this way, four criteria of land use, traffic safety, security, attractiveness, and comfort have been defined. The extracted criteria and sub-criteria are valued through the process of hierarchical analysis and the Delphi method. In the next step, by using the case-based research method, the data related to the sub-criteria at the level of the roads in the study area are collected through observation and interview entered into the geographic information system, and finally analyzed by the geographic information system and in some cases, The layout of the space (to measure the network continuity) is done and the routes with potential for pedestrian movement are extracted. Finally, from the summation of the weighted values obtained for each of the roads regarding land use criteria, traffic safety, security attractiveness, and comfort, the final score of each of the roads in the study area (intended statistical population) about the potential Passages are obtained to create suitable routes for pedestrian traffic

How Green Wall Imploratory Strategies Can be Facilitated and Optimized through Public Engagement?

A Green wall is a sustainable strategy that has been proven in numerous studies to mitigate climate change. This strategy can be applied in indoor and outdoor environments. Through reviewing studies, it becomes clear that although the environmental and socioeconomics of GW are addressed in many studies, there is a lack of information related to public acceptance of citizens' green walls. In this research, through quantitative methodology, two academic and non-academic approaches to the effective mechanism of two subjective and hidden variables: public engagement and green wall optimization measured and evaluated. This research was conducted in the city of Tehran, Iran in 2024. The participants in this research included 200 people and a combination of men and women from Tehran. The final result showed that public engagement can significantly increase Green Wall acceptance by engaging the public and enhancing their awareness about this nature-based solution

Assessment of Improved Tef (Eragrostis tef L.) Varieties for Yield and Yield Related Traits at Nono Benja and Cheliya Districts, Oromia, Ethiopia

Tef (Eragrostis tef) is one of the most important and strategic cereal crop grown to drought prone areas of Ethiopia. Genetic variability, genotypic correlations and yield components are prerequisite for selection of crop breeding, cultivation of improved varieties that provides optimum seed yield is one of the major constraints of the crop. The present study was aimed to investigate the adaptive and best performing tef varieties based on their yield and related traits under rain fed conditions at Nono Benja and Celia districts in Ethiopia. The experiment was conducted by using split plot design with three replications, sixteen improved varieties and one local landrace. The combined analysis of variance revealed that varieties were significantly different for studied characters except panicle length, total tiller number and spikelet length. The mean yields of nine improved  varieties (Dukem, Asgori, Tesfa, Negus, Quncho, Kora, Koye, Boset and key tena) were relatively higher than the local check comparing with mean values of grain yield ranged from Welkomi (372.08 kg/ ha) to Dukem (1315.41 kg/ ha).Grain yields were studied high in four varieties across two locations were (Dukem (1315.4 kg/ ha), asgori (1279.6 kg/ ha), Tesfa (1206.02 kg/ ha), Negus (1072.61 kg/ ha) with 72.8%, 68.2%, 58.5 %, and 41% over local check. The genotypic coefficient variation was observed that from 4.6% to 82.9% for loading index and the phenotypic coefficient variation range from 5.8% to 91.0% for loading index at Cheliya, respectively, the fertilizer application (0, 60/40 P/N kgha-1) showed highly differences among all traits except in GFP, PH and TGW traits. The varieties Gibe, Koye, Boset, Gimbichu, Enat and Kora were observed highly strong association with the environment, similarly Asgori and Gedo varieties were showed highly significant and strong connection with the environment Nono Benja with fertilization. Results reveal that the correlation studies provide a better understanding of yield components during the selection of tef genotypes

Level of Moral Distress among Nurses: A Correlational Study

The study focused on determining the level of moral distress among nurses in selected hospitals in Nueva Ecija, Philippines. Since moral distress is a wide-ranged phenomenon, its magnitude has affected health providers, especially nurses, who are working in a diverse and complex clinical environment.  A quantitative correlational design was applied determining socio-demographic profile of the nurse respondents in terms of sex, area of assignment and year of experience and its correlation to their moral distress levels. Their moral distress levels were measured using the moral distress thermometer scale (MDTS). The findings of this research indicated that nurses experience low to moderate level of moral distress and that female nurses are more prone to experience higher levels of moral distress than males. There is also a significant correlation between years of experience, inadequate working condition and the moral distress levels. Further, it has been concluded that this study supports evidences from relevant empirical findings that moral distress is indeed a serious phenomenon affecting nurses and can affect their working condition. Also, moral distress is more common to female nurses and may vary according to the complexity and diversity of their health environment.   Keywords: correlation, level of moral distress, moral distress, moral distress thermometer scale, nurses, profil

English Communication Today: Problems and Perspectives on Communicating in English in the Technical Colleges of Tamilnadu

The growing popularity of engineering education and seeking employment in MNCs have boosted the technical students to use English language for both academics and professional communication. This paper examines the prevailing academic and socioethnic influences on L2 learning and discusses about the problems and perspectives of the students and the efforts taken by the management, English and subject faculties in promoting English communication in the technical campus. Qualitative ethnographic case study approach is undertaken to comparatively analyze and discuss about how different instructional strategies and tools are used for creating English zone in the three technical colleges of Tamilnadu. The result shows that literally the students are not able to use English with greater accuracy and hence they favour bilingual teaching. But their strategy awareness towards seeking L2 helps them to use it for seeking knowledge and to engage in open tasks for facilitating interactional communication

Relationship between Coping Strategies and Burnout among Health and Safety Workers in an Algerian Refinery: The Moderating Role of COVID-19 Threat Perception

The current study examined the association between coping strategies and job burnout among health and safety workers of Algerian petroleum refinery, exploring the moderating effect of COVID-19 threat perception. A cross-sectional study was conducted using a self-administrated structured questionnaire between August 2020 and September 2020 among 100 health and safety workers of an Algerian petroleum refinery. Correlations and Moderated linear regressions were used to analyze the data via SPSS V26 and process macro V3.5.3. Results were significant at CI=0.95 and p ≤0.05. The findings indicate that higher problem-focused strategies have been linked to reduced levels of burnout among health and safety workers (B= -4.225, SE= 1.262, p= .001). In contrast, emotion-focused strategies were not related significantly to burnout. COVID-19 threat perception acts as a moderator and mitigates the significant negative relationship between problem-focused strategies and job burnout (B= -1.1947; SE= .4720; p= .0130). This study contributes to new theoretical and empirical perspectives on the relevance of effective coping strategies to tackle burnout at the organizational and individual levels during the COVID-19 pandemic
