A Novel Framework to Select Intelligent Video Streaming Scheme for Learning Software as a Service

Cloud computing offers many benefits for government, business and educational institutions as exemplified in many cases. Options to deliver video streaming contents for educational purposes over cloud computing infrastructures are highlighted in this study. In such case, parameters that affect video quality directly or indirectly must be taken into account such as bandwidth, jitter and loss of data. Currently, several intelligent schemes to improve video streaming services have been proposed by researchers through different approaches. This study aims to propose a novel framework to select appropriate intelligent video streaming schemes for efficiently delivering educational video contents for Learning Software as a Service (LSaaS)

The Effectiveness of Prenatal Gentle Yoga on the Recovery of Anxiety Level and Norepinephrine Level in Pregnant Women Aged 35 Years Old

This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of prenatal gentle yoga on the anxiety problem and the norepinephrine level in pregnant women aged <20 and >35 years old.  The applied research design in this study was a true experiment with a posttest-only control design. Samples were selected using a purposive sample technique. Furthermore, the instrument used was the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test to find out the results of the HARS and hypothesis testing. Moreover, data were also analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test to compare the mean values before and after being given treatment. The results of this study indicated that prenatal gentle yoga is effective to be used based on the results of the HARS (Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale). It was indicated by a significant p-value (0.001 < a 0.05) and the results of the hypothesis test of the p-value (0.000 < a 0.05). This proves that the provision of prenatal gentle yoga classes is effective in reducing the anxiety level and the norepinephrine level in pregnant women aged <20 and >35 years old

The Effectiveness of Prenatal Gentle Yoga on the Recovery of Depression Level in Primigravid and Multigravid Pregnant Women

This study was conducted at Bara Baraya Health Center, Antang Health Center, Kapasa Health Center, and Mamajang Health Center. The applied research design was a quasi-experiment with a non-equivalent control group design approach. Samples were selected using a purposive sample technique. The instrument used was the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) questionnaire. The number of samples in this study was 24 respondents divided into 2, namely 12 in the intervention group and 12 in the control group. The sample criteria were pregnant women aged <21 and >34 years old, having been in trimester II-III with the gestational age of ?20 to <31 weeks, and not having complications in pregnancy. The values of mean ranks for the intervention group were 6.50 in the pre-test to the mid-test and 6.50 in the mid-test to the post-test. Meanwhile, the values of mean ranks for the control group were 5.61 in the pre-test to the mid-test and 4.50 in the mid-test to the post-test. This indicated that the intervention group experienced a significantly reduced level of depression based on the BDI-II (Beck Depression Inventory-II) scores when compared to the control group.&nbsp
