Physical properties of fabric basically depend on fabric cover and porosity. Other fabric parameters that influence the air transmittance of a fabric are type of stitches used, type of yarn, linear density, twist factor in the yarn, stitch density, thickness, tightness factor and fractional cover of fabric and moisture content which has a circuitous effect on those parameters. Many researchers had already derived so many relationships among those parameters and the fabrics properties. But, air transmittance rate may influence other comfort properties of the fabric. Our investigation shows the relationship of different parameters which can alter the transmittance of air through the plain knitted fabric. Here, a little change in the structure can alter the air transmittance which has been represented graphically.

This paper aims to analyze whether conditional release for prisoners during the Covid-19 pandemic is considered effective so that prisoners do not repeat crimes. This type of research is normative by using a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The data used is secondary data obtained through library research. All data collected were then analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that parole for prisoners during the Covid-19 pandemic was ineffective. This is because some prisoners who received assimilation and integration rights (parole, pre-release leave, conditional leave) have repeated their actions or committed crimes and have to undergo legal processes. The ineffectiveness of parole during the corona pandemic was influenced by several factors, including the assessment before release by careless officers, as well as weak supervision for prisoners undergoing assimilation and integration rights by the government.

The present investigation was intended to ascertain the relationship between self-efficacy and life satisfaction among banking sector employees with particular reference to Sitamarhi district of North Bihar, India. The sample of the study consisted of 120 participants. The General Self-efficacy (GSE) scale was developed by Jerusalem and Schwarzer [1] and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), created by Ed Diener [2], was used for the data collection. Having collected the data from the Bank employees of Sitamarhi district of North, Bihar, India, individual’s score were obtained for giving statistical treatment. Pearson’s correlation was applied to study the relationship between self-efficacy and life satisfaction while simple linear regression was used to examine the role of self-efficacy on life satisfaction. Results indicated that self-efficacy has its major impact on life satisfaction, whereas; Life satisfaction can reflect experiences that has influenced a person in a positive way. These experiences have the ability to motivate people to pursue and reach their respective goals. It is observed during the present study that people generally avoid tasks where they perceive the self-efficacy is low, but undertake tasks where self-efficacy is high. When self-efficacy is significantly beyond actual ability, it leads towards an overestimation of the ability to complete tasks. Obtained results have been discussed in detail by giving appropriate reasons.

This paper aims to analyze Indonesia's readiness in realizing SDGs 2030 in the field of education and the things that hinder the implementation of SDGs 2030 in the education sector in Indonesia. This type of research is normative by using a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The data used is secondary data obtained through library research. All data collected were then analyzed qualitatively. The results show that Indonesia's readiness in realizing SDGs 2030 in the education sector is due to a commitment to play a strong role in achieving SDGs in three main ways, namely policy advocacy and consultation, capacity building and knowledge sharing. In terms of access to education, UNESCO can provide significant assistance to the Government of Indonesia, particularly in areas related to the promotion of quality education for all; improving the quality of education at the basic education level; and literacy quality for all. In addition, UNICEF also has a focus area in terms of Basic Education for All, which can make a useful contribution to the Government of Indonesia. The main thing that hinders the implementation of SDGs 2030 in the education sector in Indonesia is related to the quality of education as well as the quality of teachers which is still lacking.

The causative organism for the COVID-19 is severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus. The common symptoms of the COVID-19 are: fever, dry cough and fatigue while the less common symptoms are: aches and pain, sore throat, diarrhoea, conjunctivitis, headache, loss of taste and smell, rash on skin, and discolouration of fingers and toes. Several studies reported that person of any age can be infected by the virus, but elderly patients with systemic diseases were more vulnerable to the virus. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), dentistry is the profession with high mode of exposure to the Covid-19 virus. The statistics as recorded on 20th October, 2020 shows that there are a total of 342,968 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia, with 5,217 deaths and 329,270 recovered cases. The Ministry of Health (MOH) of Saudi Arabia proposed a dental emergency protocol during the COVID-19 pandemic on 13th April, 2020. This dental emergency protocol guides the triage, assessment and provision of the emergency dental treatment during the current COVID-19 pandemic. The dental care was divided into 4 by the Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia in this dental emergency protocol as: Emergent dental care, urgent dental care, non-urgent dental care and Advice and self-care. The main aim of this study is to assess the awareness of dental doctors in following dental protocol by M.O.H about the covid-19 in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A pre-designed questionnaire is circulated online using Google form to record the results of the survey of elucidating the awareness of dental doctors in following dental protocol by M.O.H about the covid-19 in Saudi Arabia. The data that is collected from the questionnaire is analysed using the computer software Statistical package for social sciences that is SPSS 16. The protocol included all the information about the type of orofacial problem and the recommended management related to it. Nearly about 70 to 80 percent of the dental doctors that participated in this survey are aware about all the guidelines provided by the Ministry of Health. Every dental doctor practising in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is to be made aware of all the guidelines and protocol to be followed during the emergency dental care.

Most hospital staff nurses' work schedules extend beyond the typical 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday workday, to provide continuous nursing care to patients. Simultaneously, most hospitals in the United Counties exclusively use 12-hour shifts. Thus, staff nurses who work overtime may work more than 12 hours within 24 hours and return to work quickly without sufficient rest and sleep. Nurses' fatigue may continue the following work regardless of regular or overtime shifts. Working overtime among nurses is a prevalent practice used to control chronic understaffing and a standard method used to handle normal patient census variations. According to the 2004 National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses (NSSRN), more than 40% of Kenya registered community health nurses (KRCHN) worked more than 40 hours per week [21]. According to the ministry of health, fifty-four percent of the respondents to the 2018 NSSRN worked more than 39 hours per week in their principal nursing position (2010). The purpose of this study was two-fold. The first step was to examine the relationship between mandatory nurse overtime regulations and nurse injuries and adverse patient events. The second step was to assess the mediating effect of nurse overtime on the relationship between the regulations and outcomes after controlling for other nurse work characteristics. A cross-sectional design was used, incorporating data from staff RNs working in hospitals in two counties (Kakamega & Bungoma). A sample size above 250 is suggested by Cohen's guidelines [13]. SPSS version 22.0 and Stata version 10 were used for the data analysis. Univariate, descriptive statistical analyses were conducted to examine the sample characteristics; 15.6% of RNs worked mandatory overtime (either paid or unpaid) while 34.1% worked voluntary overtime (either paid or unpaid) in a typical week. In the current study, the associations between mandatory overtime regulations and nurse and patient outcomes among a sample of 173 nurses in Kakamega and Bungoma were examined. Findings indicated that mandatory nurse overtime regulation did not have any association with nurse injuries. On the other hand, there were statistically significant associations found between the regulations and adverse patient events. The findings of this study should be viewed with the following limitations in mind. Even though the sample was selected randomly to represent the population in both Counties, and the Dillman Tailored Design Method with three survey mailings and reminder postcards was used in an attempt to increase the response rate and to recruit a sufficient sample to ensure the statistical power, the final response rate was 29.8% (226 RNs). Given this response rate, it is impossible to generalize the study findings due to the potential for self-selection bias among respondents. This study did not find any relationship between mandatory overtime regulations and nurses' overtime hours. As a result, although there were significant relationships between the regulation and adverse patient events, the regulations did not impact patient outcomes. Mandatory overtime regulations were not related to nursing injuries.

Education in the 21st century where information technology can become the basis of information in the world of education, so it requires teachers and students to be critical and creative. Science learning cannot be separated from 21st century skills known as 4C skills (Creativity Thinking, Critical Thinking, Communication, and Collaboration). The problem faced by researchers as science teachers is the lack of 4C skills of 9th grade students, especially on the topic of electricity resulting in low learning outcomes of students. The solution to fix these problems, the teacher applies learning using the Creative Problem Solving (CPS) model with the help of a device or cellphone. Given that almost all students already have this device. This research is a classroom action research (PTK) with two cycles, each cycle consisting of two meetings. Based on the research results it can be concluded that 4C skills, namely Creativity Thinking in the first cycle an average of 85% and the second cycle of 96.25%. Critical Thinking in the first cycle an average of 86.75% and the second cycle of 98%. Communication the first cycle average of 89% and the second cycle of 98.50%. Collaboration average for the first cycle was 84.75% and the second cycle was 97.50%. The learning outcomes of students in the first cycle of learning completeness were 70.97%, while in the second cycle it was 90.32%. There are still three students who have not finished receiving remedials. Learning using the CPS learning model with device assistance gets a positive response from all students.
