Changes In Physical Activity And Sleep In Relation To Reductions In Body Weight And Cholesterol Levels Among Adults With Ptsd, Jeffery Kibler, Karla Patricia Molina Valenzuela, Shalynn Murphy, Claudia Ocholski, Valeria Rangel Cunha, Dania Dabbagh, Blaise Desautels, Alexis B. Tola, Mindy Ma

Faculty Articles

There is evidence of strong relationships between posttraumatic stress and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Interventions focused on healthy behaviors may promote CVD risk-reduction in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The present study includes analysis of the associations among key outcomes from an intervention study of a cognitive behavioral healthy lifestyle intervention in PTSD, treated as an adjunct to standard trauma therapy. Specifically, we examined whether changes in physical activity and sleep efficiency were associated with changes in body weight and cholesterol. The health behavior intervention is conducted in 12 weekly sessions and includes four overlapping modules (physical activity, nutrition, sleep, and …

Novel Solitary Wave Solutions And Stability Analysis Of The Generalized (3+1)-Dimensional Chaffee–Infante Equation, Mostafa M. A. Khater

Baghdad Science Journal

The generalized (3+1)-dimensional Chaffee–Infante equation, a nonlinear evolution equation with dispersive, dissipative and nonlinear effects, is considered a member of the class of reaction–diffusion models. Applying the Khater III method, we obtain seventeen exact analytical solutions of hyperbolic, trigonometric and rational function forms. The accuracy of these solutions is verified by comparison with the numerical simulations obtained by He's variational iteration method. The satisfactory consistency at absolute error levels less than 10^ - 9 supports the reliability of the analytical results. The analysis shows different dynamical patterns: solitary waves, periodic structures and singular wave profiles and studies their stability properties …

To evaluate the accuracy of the numerical approximation, the mathematical formulation is established, and error estimates are analyzed. Numerous numerical experiments are conducted and juxtaposed with established exact solutions to assess the efficacy of the proposed method. The results show that …

Reduced Kinetic Modelling Of Reactive Oxygen And Nitrogen Species Formation In Microwave Plasma Jets, Hayder M. Hadi, Abdul Hussain A. Khadyair, Hamid Al-Jibbouri

Baghdad Science Journal

Cold atmospheric-pressure microwave plasma jets are crucial sources of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) in the fields of biomedicine, environment, and industry. A reduced kinetic model has been constructed to model RONS production in microwave-driven plasma jets at different process parameters in this paper. The model employs a simplified system of coupled ordinary differential equations representative of the dominant plasma-chemical reactions to characterize the time evolution of six high-interest species (OH, O, O₃, NO, NO₂, and H₂O₂). The influence of gas composition, gas flow rate, surface humidity, and microwave power on …

Correlation Between Gas Mixing Ratio And Functional Properties Of Sputtered Zinc Oxide Nanostructures For Uv-Induced Antibacterial Applications, Mohanad A. Aswad, Firas J. Kadhim

Baghdad Science Journal

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures were synthesized using reactive DC magnetron sputtering, and their structural, optical, morphological, and antibacterial properties were systematically investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the formation of single-phase hexagonal wurtzite ZnO crystals with high crystallinity. The average crystallite size was estimated using the Scherrer equation. Field emission scanning electron microscopy analysis showed that the gas mixing ratio plays a key role in morphology control, with dominant particle sizes ranging from 40 to 50 nm across all tested ZnO samples. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed the high degree of purity of the synthesized ZnO nanostructures and showed Zn and O …

I-V Characteristics Of Corona Discharge Of The Upper-Lower Electrode Arrangement, Asep Yoyo Wardaya, Zaenul Muhlisin, Isnain Gunadi, Pandji Triadyaksa, Muhammad Nur, Susilo Hadi

Baghdad Science Journal

Corona discharge characterization is essential for industrial plasma devices such as electrostatic precipitators, where effective sharp electrode configurations can generate high discharge currents at relatively low potential differences efficiently and measurably. This study aims to determine the characteristic equation of the current-voltage (I-V) curve for DC corona plasma with both electrodes sharp, which represents the optimal condition for producing corona discharge. A geometric approach based on modified capacitance by introducing a current multiplier factor (k) on the sharp electrode surface is implemented. Corona discharge is assumed to depend on the maximum local electric field at the electrode tip, while k …

Study The Effects Of Nuclear Correlations And Tensor Forces On The Nuclear Structure Of The 10B Nucleus, Farah Faris Kaddoori

Baghdad Science Journal

A detailed theoretical investigation of nuclear transition charge densities is carried out for the odd–odd nucleus ¹⁰B, with particular emphasis on collective dynamics and short-range nucleon–nucleon correlations. Longitudinal C2 form factors for inelastic electron scattering are evaluated for several excited nuclear states. The transition charge density is expressed as a superposition of the shell-model contribution and a core-polarization term arising from collective nuclear dynamics. The latter is evaluated within the Tassie collective model using correlated ground-state two-body charge-density distributions (2BCDDs). These correlated densities are derived using the nuclear contact formalism, incorporating short-range central correlations and tensor-force effects from realistic …

The Future Of Transit, Adam Cohen

Mineta Transportation Institute

Public transit agencies are adapting to a post-pandemic operating environment characterized by hybrid work, more dispersed travel demand, workforce constraints, and persistent fiscal pressures. This perspective paper examines how transit agencies, such as the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA), can strengthen ridership while improving the financial sustainability and long-term resilience of its transit system. The analysis synthesizes peer-reviewed research, government and industry reports, publicly available data, transit agency case studies, and expert interviews with thought leaders. The findings indicate that reliability, travel time, frequency, and customer experience remain fundamental drivers of transit use, but that traditional peak-oriented service planning …

Sub-Saharan African Women’S Experiences Of Social Support During Childbirth In Finland, Emma Kwegyir-Afful, Anita Wikberg

International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

Background: Over 50% of the estimated 90 million international migrants in Europe are women, many of whom are of childbearing age (Fair et al., 2020). Poorer pregnancy and birth outcomes are common among ethnic minority women (Soltani et al., 2020). In Finland Sub-Saharan African women (SSAW) are more likely to undergo caesarean section than Finnish women (Bastola et al., 2020).

Social support which is both informational (providing information for problem-solving) and emotional (offering care and/or trust) is key social determinant of health. It can be acquired through informal networks such as friends, family, and ethnic communities or through formal networks …

Staying Ahead Of Murphy’S Law: A Proactive Approach To Quality Improvement, Cristina L. Ritzema, Jessica Schweitzer

International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

Purpose: The purpose of this initiative was to proactively minimize the risk for patient harm related to errors in the administration of IV Pitocin and/or magnesium (Mg) during emergent situations in the labor and delivery unit, through best-practices and evidence-based strategies.

Background: Pitocin and Mg are high-risk IV medications in obstetrics, frequently given during stressful situations. After a serious Pitocin-related error at another facility caused adverse outcomes, the staff recognized their own vulnerability to similar mistakes. While quality improvement and risk management initiatives are often reactive responses to poor outcomes, the team chose a proactive approach. It implemented fail-safe solutions …
