Abstract: Abstract Background Polycystic ovary syndrome is linked to hormonal imbalances and adverse effects on cosmetic, reproductive, metabolic, and psychological aspects that affect quality of life. Aim This research aimed to evaluate the influence of changing lifestyle using the 5A’s model on mental health issues and life quality in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Design and Methods A quasiexperimental research design (one group, “pre–posttest”). The present research was conducted at the obstetrics and gynecological outpatient clinic at Tanta University Hospitals in Gharbia Governorate, Egypt. A purposive sample of 68 women medically diagnosed with PCOS. Five tools were used as follows: a structured self-administered questionnaire, Mental Health Issues Assessment Tools, Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire, and Satisfaction with Life Scale). Results There are statistically significant differences between the average scores regarding the women’s total body mass index, total anxiety score, total depression score, and total self-esteem score at preimplementation of the 5A’s model and 1- and 3-month postimplementation. Also, there are statistically significant differences between the average scores regarding the women’s total health-promoting lifestyle behaviors and health-related quality of life at preimplementation of the 5A’s model and 1- and 3-month postimplementation. Moreover, there was a statistically significant difference among mean scores regarding all items of women’s satisfaction with life at preimplementation of the 5A’s model and at 1- and 3-month postimplementation. Conclusion The implementation of the 5A’s model was effective in improving mental health issues, health-promoting lifestyle behaviors, and health-related quality of life and raising satisfaction with life among women with PCOS. Recommendation Every woman with a medical diagnosis of PCOS must be provided with printed material, such as booklets and brochures, that include lifestyle recommendations based on the 5A’s model.

Abstract: Background: Assessing and quantifying anxiety levels among oncology professionals across different disciplines, along with evaluating the role of social support networks within healthcare institutions, can inform the development of targeted interventions aimed at enhancing staff engagement, translating research findings into practical workplace strategies, and ultimately reducing anxiety levels. Objective: This study aims to examine the perceptions among cancer-diagnosed workers across disciplines of workplace support systems in alleviating anxiety among employees with cancer in oncology settings in Jordan. Methods: A cross-sectional study was undertaken at the King Husain Cancer Center in Amman, Jordan. A proportionate sampling strategy was employed to select the sample population of 354 oncology professionals from various disciplines. Data were gathered using self-administered questionnaires on Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, work-related issues, and work support systems. Results: The mean age of participants was 42.3 years. The majority of participants (n = 185, 52.3%) were of stage II cancer. In terms of treatment types received by the patients, the majority received chemotherapy (n = 325, 91.8%), while the remaining patients underwent surgery (n = 13, 3.7%). Pearson correlation was utilized to assess the relationship between anxiety disorders and variables of age and duration of diagnosis with cancer. The results demonstrated a statistically significant correlation with age (r = 0.49, p = 0.037) and duration of diagnosis (r = 0.61, p = 0.027). Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of workplace support systems in reducing anxiety among workers with cancer in Jordan, highlighting the need for structured and sustainable interventions to improve their well-being. This study highlights the importance of investing in workplace support programs for oncology workers with cancer, thereby raising job satisfaction, reducing burnout, and improving patient-care outcomes.

Abstract: Jordanian real estate companies are currently dealing with difficult marketing conditions as the environment is becoming more competitive. The effect of visual social media marketing (VSMM) on customer purchase intention involving Jordanian real estate companies, was examined in this study, considering the mediating role of e-Trust. The Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) and Trust Model guided the development of the research framework. The research used quantitative survey techniques. A purposive sampling strategy was used in sample selection and online questionnaires were distributed via Google Forms on social media platforms. The link to the questionnaire was shared in social media groups related to Jordan’s real estate sector, resulting in 250 valid responses. To analyse the data and assess the hypotheses, partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLSSEM) was used. The findings provide empirical evidence of the influence of VSMM and e-Trust on purchase intention. Additionally, the relationship between VSMM and purchase intention was mediated by e-Trust. This study theoretically fills gaps in the literature by integrating ELM and the Trust Model. Practically, the results of this study assist real estate companies in developing strategies to enhance purchases among potential customers. The results suggested that managers in the real estate companies need to focus on building e-Trust and VSMM.

Research Title: Confidential Intelligent Traffic Light Control System: Prevention of Unauthorized Traceability

Author: Said Ahmad Ammar Ghoul, Published Year: 2025

Big Data Cogn. Comput. 2025, 9, 169, 9 (7)

Faculty: Information Technology

Abstract: Many research studies have designed intelligent traffic light scheduling algorithms. Some researchers rely on specialized sensors and hardware to gather real-time traffic data at signalized road intersections. Others benefit from artificial intelligence techniques and/or cloud computing technologies. The technology of vehicular networks has been widely used to gather the traffic characteristics of competing traffic flows at signalized road intersections. Intelligent traffic light controlling systems aim to fairly liberate competing traffic at signalized road intersections and eliminate traffic crises. These algorithms have been initially developed without focusing on the consequences of security threats or attacks. However, the accuracy of gathered traffic data at each road intersection affects its performance. Fake and corrupted packets highly affect the accuracy of the gathered traffic data. Thus, in this work, we aim to investigate the aspects of security and confidentiality of intelligent traffic light systems. The possible attacks on the confidentiality of intelligent traffic light systems are examined. Then, a confidential traffic light control system that protects the privacy of traveling vehicles and drivers is presented. The proposed algorithm mainly prevents unauthorized traceability and linkability attacks that threaten people’s lives and violate their privacy. Finally, the proposed algorithm is evaluated through extensive experiments to verify its correctness and benefits compared to traditional insecure intelligent traffic light systems.
