The research formulates and examines hypotheses on factors affecting ICT adoption morals via the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The suggested concept, which utilizes Structural Equation Modelling (ESM), highlights the critical responsibilities that social influence and perceived utility play in affecting choices to adopt ICT. It is noteworthy that MSMEs confront a multiple of obstacles when it comes to adopting ICT, encompassing restrictions in terms of infrastructure and resources, shortages of human capital, and hardships in the technology environment. Data were gathered from 305 MSMEs, and outcomes shed light on important factors to boost the impact of ICT integration in the special setting of Jordanian MSMEs.

COVID-19 has indeed affected education systems all over the world; education institutions all over the world were compelled to implement innovative technological approaches so that education could still be delivered to students, fulfilling the academic expectations, while the Sustainable Learning and Education (SLE) ideals are consistently embraced. One of these approaches has been the use of mobile learning applications (MLA). These applications (MLAs) employ some prominent features of mobile apps, to allow students to collaborate and participate in purposeful online learning. Still, the success of any technology is dictated by the acceptance of the user, in this context, the acceptance of students. In other words, student acceptance of MLA will determine the success of MLA. Accordingly, the effect of COVID-19 lockdown on the information behavior of high scho...

It focused on three components of the digital divide namely access, skills, and innovativeness. In addition, the research investigated how socio-demographic factors influence this connection. Data comprised 620 valid replies to questionnaires issued to 700 Jordanian citizens aged 22 and older who resided in urban and rural areas. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 and Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) version 24 were employed in data analyses and hypotheses testing. The results showed that all three aspects of the digital divide had a significant influence (access, skills, and innovativeness) on the intent of Jordanian citizens to utilize e-government, and the dimension of access imparted the strongest impact, followed by the dimension of skills and then the dimension of innovativeness. Additionally, it was discovered that gender,...

To do so, a probability sample of 365 students were selected from Islamic Azad University – Shahr-e Rey Branch, Iran. among whom the conformity and identity styles questionnaires were distributed. The degrees of correlation between these two variables were determined by Pearson's bivariate correlation coefficient. The findings showed that there is a positive correlation between each of these identity styles and conformity. However, this relationship was only significant between the diffuse/avoidant identity style and conformity. The limitations and suggestions for further research are also mentioned in the present paper. البحث الإرتباطي والكمي الحالي يهدف إلى الكشف عن العلاقة بين أنماط الهوية والإمتثال، وتم توزيع إستبيان الإمتثال وأنماط الهوية على عينة إحتمالية مكونة من 365 شخص، وتم تحديد درجات التباين بين هذين المتغيرين من خلال إختبار بيرسون، وكشفت النتائج ...

Этот симптом определяется у 20-40 % выживших после инсульта. [1]. Спастичность, являясь сама по себе серьёзной проблемой, сопровождается рядом осложнений, что еще больше ограничивает возможности пациентов и резко снижает перспективы восстановления. Поиск путей и разработка различных подходов к лечению спастичности происходит перманентно на протяжении последних 150 лет. Внедрение в клиническую практику ботулинотерапии явилось прорывом в лечении спастичности. Вместе с тем, основные положения методологии таргетного (прицельного) введения БоНТ до настоящего времени не отработаны [2]. Таким образом, разработка вариантов терапии спастичности остаются актуальными. В связи с этим достаточно перспективно изучение эффективности применения комбинированных методов лечения, в том числе фармакотерапии с использованием мирелаксантов центрального действия и БоНТ. цель исследования. Оценить терапевтическую эффективность комбинации миорелаксантов центрального (баклофен) и периферического (ботулотоксин типа А) действия при лечении постинсультной спастичности. Материалы и методы. В исследование были включены 96 пациентов обоих полов в возрасте от 31 до 68 лет, перенёсших острое нарушение мозгового кровообращения по ишемическому типу давностью от 1 месяца до трёх лет (протокол исследования был одобрен локальным этическим комитетом Военно-медицинской академии, обследованные были проинформированы о целях исследования и подписали информированное согласие). Все больные были разделены на две группы, репрезентативные по полу, возрасту, тяжести заболевания и степени спастичности. В 1-ой группе (56 пациентов) лечение осуществлялось исключительно инкоботулотоксином (Ксеомином). Во 2-ой группе (40 больных) для лечения спастичности использовалось комбинация препаратов Ксеомин и баклофен (Баклосан). Осмотр пациентов проводился четырехкратно: перед введением Ксеомина, через 25±3 дня; через 90±10 дней и через 120±10 дней после введения Ксеомина. Препарат вводился в спастичные мышцы верхней и нижней конечностей в максимальной для них дозировке [3] после диагностики с применением приёмов мануального тестирования. Общая дозировка достигала 800 ед, что согласовалось с данными полученными в результате исследования эффективности и безопасности применения инкоботулотоксина (Ксеомин) TOWER [4]. Точность введения контролировалась ультразвуковой навигацией. Баклосан применялся перорально в таблетках по 10 мг три раза в день, начиная со 2-ого осмотра, при общей продолжительности курса 95±10 дней. Для оценки спастичности использовались: шкала силы мышечного сокращения и объема произвольных движений (MRCS) модифицированные шкалы Эшворта (MAS) и Тардье (MTS), шкалы Бартел и Рэнкин, индекс мобильности Ривермид (RMI), тест комфортной ходьбы (КХ), Лидская шкала влияния спастичности руки на деятельность (LASIS), а также визуальная аналоговая шкала (ВАШ) [5]. Также всем пациентам второй группы выполнялась электронейромиография (ЭНМГ): М-ответ, Н-рефлекс, F-волна и определение соотношений Н/М и F/M и транскраниальная магнитная стимуляция (ТМС): время центрального проведения. Расчёт и статистическая обработка баллов по MAS достигалась обозначением значения «+1», как 1,5. Результаты и их обсуждение. Анализ полученных результатов показывал, что достоверная положительная клиническая динамика (p<0,05) при применении БоНТ наблюдалась во всех мышцах в обеих исследуемых группах. Ко 2-ому осмотру улучшение движений определялось в плечевом, локтевом, коленном, лучезапястном, коленном и голеностопном суставах. Этот эффект продолжал развиваться и к 3-ему осмотру, достигая своей максимальной выраженности. Во время 4-ого осмотра определялось некоторое ухудшение по анализируемым показателям, которые при этом не изменялись статистически значимо по сравнению с 3-им осмотром, но достоверно отличались от исходного уровня (табл. 1, 2). Отдельного внимания заслуживает динамика показателей индексов Тардье (ИТ): ИТ V1 и ИТ V3. В обеих группах достоверные изменения ИТ V1 определялись только к 3-ему осмотру. Выраженность этих изменений сохранялась примерно на том же уровне и при проведении 4-ого осмотра. Показатели ИТ V3 оказались более волатильными. Их изменения были достоверны уже при 2-ом осмотре, улучшение статистически значимо продолжало нарастать к 3-ему, и так же достоверно (p<0,05) снижаться при 4-ом осмотре. Это позволяет сделать вывод о том, что эффект БоНТ проявлялся прежде всего в уменьшении реактивности мышцы, в то время как ее растяжимость нарастает существенно медленнее, но, достигнув наиболее значимого эффекта, сохраняет его гораздо дольше.

Therefore, it is very important to study the influence of the digital world on the child, especially on his personality de-velopment. The impact of the digital world on personality disorder is not enough studied in the UAE and is relevant. The cause of personality disorder in an adult can be mental health problems as a child, namely, emotional instability, excessive fear and anxiety, behavioral problems. The purpose of our research is to evaluate the relationship between the dependence of children on the Internet and the mental health of a child. The study involved 463 students from public and private schools in Dubai aged from 8 to 16 years. Internet Addiction Test, IAT, C. Young (Kimberley S.

The study sample comprised 1206 guardians, of whom 71% have completed their undergraduate studies or a higher level. Furthermore, 62% of participants aged more than 35 years. Results also indicated that 34% of participants have children studying in primary education, 21.9% have children studying in primary and secondary education, and 13.4% have children studying in all levels of education. The researchers developed the 'psychological and social effects of distance education' scale. After being measured, the scale was electronically sent to the study sample. Findings showed that the psychological and social effects of distance education on guardians were significant. Moreover, students' level of social activity was moderate, they have become less active, and their use of social media sites has increased. In addition, results indicated that the psychological and social impact significantly differs in terms of parents' level of education. Results also showed that the psychological and social effects of distance education on students' guardians do not differ in terms of the number of schoolchildren. Instead, all guardians, with any number of schoolchildren, were negatively affected.

Qc(f) was estimated at central frequencies of 1.5 (± 0.5), 3.0 (± 1.0), 6.0 (± 2.0), and 12.0 (± 4.0) Hz and interpreted by considering the single backscattering model. Our results of the attenuation of coda waves may explain why some regions of the Dominican Republic (DR) are more prone to suffer damage due to earthquakes than other areas. The majority of the cities and towns in the DR that were severely damaged by earthquakes in the past are located in zones of low and very low coda wave attenuation. In contrast, cities located in zones of high Qc(f)−1 tend to suffer less damage. Our findings identify regions with low seismic attenuation that reflect zones with soft soils that could be impacted by future large events in the DR. These results can be used as a tool for planning seismic hazard mitigation and emergency response as well as for land use regulations.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the connection between negative emotions and physical state. To collect information for the study, it was decided to divide it into two parts. The first part was a consultation with employees of the Dubai Clinic. The next stage was a survey of students who had to evaluate their emotional state over the past six months, and also to report if any negative emotions caused them physical discomfort. Negative emotions have a negative effect on all body systems and can cause serious health problems. A survey of students showed that each of them experienced negative emotions at least once every six months. To teach everyone to manage negative emotions, free lectures, seminars and special psychological training can be organized.

The sample of the study consisted of 36 (n = 36) individuals aged 20.3 ± 1.2 years, who were deaf from birth. The respondents were divided into two groups; (1) those who were living with their parents (n = 20), (2) those who were independently living on their own (n = 16). Results of the study indicated that from May to October, there was decrease in the number of normal mental health cases among those living with parents (p ≤ 0.05). The results of the study show that in the time of the pandemic, deaf people constitute a vulnerable portion of the population. The correlation between living alone and stress levels was 0.78. The correlation between living with parents and stress levels was −0.85.
