How does benefit finding evolve over time among Chinese women breast cancer survivals: a longitudinal study

Objective: Even though the prevalence of benefit finding (BF) has been empirically shown to exist among breast cancer (BC) survivals, how does benefit finding evolve over time remains inadequately investigated. This objective of this study is to examine how BF evolves over time among Chinese breast cancer survivals and determine the demographic, medical and psychosocial factors that can sustain BF increase over time, thus bring about higher level of long-term post-traumatic growth among breast cancer survivals. Methods: Participants were 486 women with different stages of breast cancer (stages I, II and III) followed from completion of primary treatment. Analysis were performed on the data collected at the 3-year assessment during 2014-2019. Participants completed self-report questionnaires of characteristics and benefit finding at six time points with the interval of six months since BC diagnosis. The relationships between demographic, medical and psychosocial characteristics and benefit finding evolution over time were examined using mixed models. Results: Participants reported mixed results on the evolving patterns of benefit finding: 28% reported an upward trend in BF scoring over time, 49% instead reported an downward trend, and the remaining 23% reported no obvious change. Our study has shown that some well-known covariates of benefit finding, e.g. education, income, and social support, are not associated with BF trends. In comparison, levels of spirituality and disease coping at diagnosis can more reliably predict BF evolution over time. Our results strongly indicate that benefit finding can be sustained and increased by encouraging attempts at meaning-making and active disease coping during breast cancer treatment. To our knowledge, this study is among the first to examine trends of benefit finding evolution over time on breast cancer survivals and determine their psychosocial predictors in developing countries. Conclusion: Identifying the sustaining factors of benefit finding in the experience of breast cancer is the key to design psycho clinical solutions for patients’ long-term post-traumatic growth. As time goes by, cancer patients may experience less benefit finding. However, active disease coping and meaning-making by patients can effectively counter this undesired trend and boost their higher long-term post-traumatic growth.
SAFETY STUDY ON STATE SHIPS AND COMMERCIAL SHIPS ACCORDING TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF SOLAS 1974

Available online: 4 Mei 2021 The purpose of this study is to analyze the safety performance of state ships and commercial ships according to the requirements of Solas 1974. The requirements of Solas 1974 in the context of international shipping are mainly related to safety and security issues related to the tools and types of shipping safety. Application of the 1974 Solas Convention and the 2018 Solas Consolidation with the scope of discussion on international shipping is especially related to maritime protection. This study uses the Plan, Do, Check and Action (PDCA) evaluation model. The data was collected through the interview survey method and continued with statistical testing with the factor analysis technique. Respondents consisted of crews of commercial ships with a weight of over 500 GT and crews of pioneer ships as state ships anchored at the Port of Tanjung Priok. Research respondents totaled 57 crew members, consisting of 23 crew members of state ships and 34 crew members of commercial ships. The results of this research can be used as reference material in terms of safety and security as well as protection against environmental damage, in accordance with the transportation management system policy which includes; manuals, implementation policies, supporting implementation procedures, and work instructions for all stakeholders. The research output can be used as a basis for providing recommendations related to corrective actions to improve the marine transportation management system through the implementation of Solas 1974.
The role of passengers’ involvement in cause related marketing: Moderated mediation effects of brand attitude and brand consciousness in the airline industry

Abstract Airline companies have implemented cause related marketing (CRM) to contribute to sustainable development and gain competitive advantage in the market providing identical services and products. This study thus aims to understand customers’ perception of airline CRM and its effect on their loyalty. Empirical research was conducted on data collected from 443 travelers on US-based full service airlines that participate in charitable donation and analyzed using the Statistical Program for the Social Sciences (SPSS)-based program, PROCESS. The results revealed brand attitude’s significant mediating role and brand consciousness’s moderating role in building customer loyalty. The identification of an important moderated mediating function by combining mediation of brand attitude with moderation of brand consciousness expands the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) research in the airline context. Moreover, this study suggests that airlines encourage passengers to being involved in CRM in order to benefit both the nonprofit organizations and the brand itself through building customer loyalty.
Protective EEffect of Copaifera salikounda Heckel against Paracetamol-Induced Hepatorenal Injury in Rat

Drug-induced hepatorenal damage is a significant worldwide clinical challenge. In Nigeria, Copaifera salikounda seed pod ethanol extract (CSSPEE) is used in the treatment of many ailments including liver disorders. This study investigated the protective efficacy of CSSPEE against paracetamol (PCM) induced hepatorenal toxicity. Male albino Wistar rats were assigned at random into five different groups (n = 6). The normal control (Group I) was given normal saline via oral administration while Group II was given 500 mg/kg body weight of PCM via intra-peritoneal administration; Group III was administered 100 mgkg-1 of silymarin (reference drug) while Groups IV and V were administered 200 and 400 mg kg-1 of CSSPEE, respectively, per os for seven days prior to administration of PCM. CSSPEE pretreated groups protected PCM-induced hepatorenal damage as reflected by significant diminution (P < 0.05) in liver enzymes activities and levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), total bilirubin (TB), triglycerides (TG) and urea in comparison with group II. Also, CSSPEE pretreatment significantly increased (P < 0.05) the activities of catalase and GSH relative to group II while no significant elevation (P > 0.05) in superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) was observed in comparison to PCM group. CSSPEE also reversed liver and kidney PCM overdose caused histopathological alterations and ameliorated the tissue histology thereby corroborating the results of biochemical findings. CSSPEE produced analogous effects comparable to those produced by silymarin (reference drug). The results indicated that oral administration of CSSPEE conferred a dose-dependent protection against paracetamolinduced oxidative damage to liver and kidney.
Assessing the benefits of integrated introduced predator management for recovery of native predators

Increasingly threatened species and their habitats require multiple successful management actions to ensure persistence. Introduced predator exclusion and suppression programs are key conservation actions used to retain or restore Australian ecosystems. Nevertheless, few direct comparisons are made to ascertain the individual and combined efficacy of multiple introduced predator conservation actions to benefit biodiversity. When colocated, both management actions could generate additive conservation benefits that greatly assist the recovery or persistence of threatened native species. Varanid lizards are key functional components in Australian predator guilds and could benefit, via ecological release, when introduced predator management actions are successful. Here we tested the effects of a colocated predator‐exclusion fence and lethal fox baiting on varanid site occupancy in a semiarid protected area. Varanid site occupancy was higher at sites inside (Ψ = 0.90 ± 0.26) compared to sites outside (Ψ = 0.61 ± 0.28) the introduced predator‐proof fenced enclosure. There was only weak evidence of increased varanid site occupancy at fox baited sites (Ψ = 0.037 ± 0.024) compared to nonfox baited (Ψ = 0.00) sites. Overall, colocated introduced predator management actions achieved some additive benefits via possible spillover fencing effects for native mesopredator populations. However, most potential benefits to varanid populations outside of the predator‐proof fenced enclosure were absent due to unsuccessful lethal‐baiting effects on fox populations. The predator‐proof fenced enclosure nevertheless provides important habitat refugia for future source populations for reintroduction once adjacent protected areas become suitable.
Evaluation of cytotoxic effect of ferrous gluconate on Allium cepa root tip

It was used Allium cepa L and ferrous gluconate (E579). A. cepa roots were treated with ferrous gluconate of different concentrations. A. cepa root lengths were measured. So, the EC50 value was determined as 0.068 g/l. Then, A. cepa L. roots were treated with EC50 / 2 (0.034 g/l), EC50 (0.068 g/l), 2XEC50 (0.136 g/l) for 24, 48, 72 hours. The root tips were cut and prepared for observation in the light microscope. For each group, at least 5000 cell counts were made. Mitotic index was used in the determination of cytotoxicity. TUKEY multiple comparison test and Repeated measurement ANOVA was used. It was determined that the difference between ferrous gluconate concentrations varied as far as the treatment duration. In the way of mitotic index, it was stated that mean of control doses at all treatment duration were significantly higher than the EC50/2, EC50, EC50X2 doses and decreased with the increasing dose. After 24, 48 and 72 hours treatment of EC50X2 dose, it was found that mitotic index decreased due to increasing in application duration. It was detected that ferrous gluconate reduced mitotic division at the root of A. cepa in comparison to the control group. In this way, it was established that ferrous gluconate can be cytotoxic. In addition to this, it was determined that the cytotoxic effect of ferrous gluconate increased and mitotic index decreased due to increasing of treatment duration and dose. Results of this research are parallel with the literatüre that food additives might cause cytotoxicity.
Business Process Management as a Determinant of Change in the Organisational Culture of Enterprises

Purpose: This study aims to determine the relationship between BPM and the organizational culture of enterprises. Design/Methodology/Approach: Business Process Management (BPM) is a series of interrelated activities that force companies to face specific contemporary challenges, i.e., competence, technology, and organizational, social, and environmental challenges. BPM assumptions bring opportunities to build new competitive advantages, create new areas of activity, and find new types of business benefits, but it also raises doubts and questions. The study assumes that mistakes made when implementing this concept result in enterprises' mismatched organizational culture. The empirical research was conducted in the SME sector. Findings: The research results indicate the importance of building an open organizational culture, as its creation will enable the creation of systems based on breakthrough relationships between an open organizational culture and BPM, which is necessary to create modern business model standards. Practical Implications: Signalling the role of culture in processes supporting BPM. Based on the conclusions drawn, it can be recommended that when implementing BPM assumptions, organizational culture should match the characteristics/values relating to this concept's assumptions, also requiring from employees and other involved parties an understanding of such culture. Otherwise, there is a risk that instead of BPM, the achieved result will be precisely the opposite of the intended one. Originality/Value: A theoretical and empirical study based on a literature review linking BPM with enterprises' organizational culture and the author's research. The paper attempts to define organizational culture as a form of support for implementing the BPM concept in enterprises.
Diametral Tensile Strength of Microhybrid and Nanohybrid Composite Resins

Introduction: Microhybrid and nanohybrid composite resins are commonly used due to their high diametral tensile strength, which indicates the resistance of a material to chewing in posterior tooth restoration. Both composite resins have been widely produced via various modifications of their composition. Objectives: To evaluate the diametral tensile strength of composite resins with microhybrid and nanohybrid fillers. Methods: In this experimental laboratory study, microhybrid (DenFilTM) and nanohybrid (DenFilTM N) composite resins were shaped into 10 specimens each in cylindrical molds (6 mm diameter × 3 mm height) by the bulk-fill technique, and the upper layer was flattened using mylar strips and then polymerized using a light-curing unit for 20 s. Then, composite resin samples were immersed in cell culture plates filled with 2.5 mL of artificial saliva in a 37°C incubator for 24 h. Dimensions of the soaked specimens were examined using a digital caliper and tested using a universal testing machine. Results: The diametral tensile strength values for microhybrid and nanohybrid composite resins were 41.67 MPa and 45.42 MPa, respectively. Conclusion: There was no significant difference in the diametral tensile strength of microhybrid and nanohybrid.
Lab-Scale Column Studies for Enhanced Phosphorus Sorption from Synthetic Urban Stormwater Using Modified Bioretention Media

AbstractBuilding on previous batch studies, this study further investigated the removal of dissolved organic P (DOP) using small (15 cm) columns with water treatment residual (WTR) and alum as two promising amendments to bioretention soil media (BSM). BSM modified with alum and WTR exhibited higher sorption capacity. Compared with unmodified BSM, significant improvements were observed for adenosine monophosphate (AMP), myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (IHP), and inorganic P (SRP) removal using 10% alum-modified WTR-amended BSM (WTR-BSM), by factors of 26, 7, and 150, respectively. The 10% alum-modified WTR-BSM reduced DOP levels<0.01 mg/L within 1 min of contact time, demonstrating more-rapid DOP sorption processes compared with unamended media. The oxalate ratio (OR), which is based on oxalate-extractable Al, Fe, and P, was employed to provide a criterion for BSM performance with respect to P sorption. Strong correlations (R2=0.92, 0.96, and 0.65 for AMP, IHP, and SRP, respectively) between the media OR an.
Heat transfer and pressure drop for in-tube evaporation of CO2

Le CO 2 peut etre utilise avec succes dans plusieurs applications : comme fluide secondaire dans les systemes indirects, comme frigorigene a basse temperature dans les systemes en cascade, ou comme frigorigene dans les installations frigorifiques et de pompes a chaleur. On a besoin de correlations precises de transfert de chaleur et de chute de pression afin de concevoir les evaporateurs pour de telles installations. Etant donne la pression plus elevee, on a plus particulierement besoin de correlations pour des diametres inhabituellement petits. Un nouveau banc d'essai avec une section comprenant un tube en aluminium avec un diametre de 7 mm a ete construit afin de mesurer les coefficients de transfert de chaleur et de chute de p-ession localement. Ces coefficients permettent le developpement de correlations pratiques sous ces conditions nouvelles. Les premieres experiences ont ete menees avec du CO 2 depourvu de lubrifiant a des debits massiques allant de 200 a 400 kg/m 2 s, des flux thermiques allant de 3000 a 9000 W/m 2 et des temperatures d'evaporation allant de -25°C a +5°C. Les sept series de mesures ont ete effectuees en presence de fractions variables de vapeurs. L'analyse theorique demontre que les coefficients de transfert de chaleur obtenus a des temperatures elevees et aux diametres inferieurs utilises avec le CO 2 sont beaucoup plus eleves que ceux prevus par les correlations de transfert de chaleur rapportes jusqu'a present. Cependant, les coefficients de chute de pression peuvent etre decrits de facon satisfaisante par des correlations existantes D'autres etudes sont necessaires afin de developper de meilleures correlations de transfert de chaleur L'etude de l'influence des lubrifiants est la priorite.
Borealization and its discontents: drivers of regional variation in plant diversity across scales in interior Alaska

Quantitative studies of regional variation in plant diversity across eastern Beringia (northern Alaska and adjacent areas) are lacking due to an absence of datasets of suf ﬁ cient scale and scope. We interro-gated a landscape-scale plant diversity dataset collected across two regions of interior Alaska with different disturbance, topographic, and climate attributes to investigate hypotheses regarding drivers of plant species richness. Our approach integrated a multi-scale sampling design with an analytical framework focused on quantifying how components of plant diversity (growth forms, biogeographic groups, and dominant species) respond to site factors that vary along landscape gradients. Our results revealed essential similarities in both the composition of the overall ﬂ oras and the in ﬂ uences on local and meso-scale species richness across both regions. However, these continuities at smaller scales contrasted with differences in landscape-level distribution of plant diversity patterns along elevation gradients. Our ﬁ ndings suggest that local drivers of richness and occupancy interacted with differing macro-scale attributes (e.g., relative continentality) to produce distinctive landscape-level diversity patterns. Our results con ﬁ rm that high levels of local and meso-scale plant richness in interior Alaska depend on conditions that foster richness of herbaceous and northerly distributed species groups. However, we found that important differences in landscape-level richness patterns were driven by regional differences in climate, topoedaphic variables, and disturbance. In the warmer region, woody species and boreal plant communities extended to higher elevations and common species occupancy showed marginally greater in ﬂ uence of ﬁ re. Overall richness was relatively low in alpine areas of the warmer region but heterogeneous edaphic and topographic circumstances stimulated higher species turnover in lower elevations there, increasing landscape-level richness. In contrast, in the cooler region, woody species showed restricted distribution across the elevation gradient while site attributes associated with increased species richness aligned with the elevation gradient and thus peak richness occurred in the alpine zone. Our results show how total and growth-form richness, as well as community composition, vary regionally in relation to important drivers (in-cluding growing season warmth) across interior Alaska. Consequently, our study provides new insights into the potential trajectories of future change in biodiversity patterns in this rapidly warming region.
Crosslinguistic influence in the production of English as L3

Crosslinguistic influence (CLI) refers to the phenomenon of how one language affects the acquisition and processing of another language by the same speaker. Bilinguals and multilinguals offer a good opportunity to study crosslinguistic phenomena since they have multiple language systems in interaction. Here we report the results of a study which investigated CLI in bilinguals and trilinguals. The objective of the study was twofold: (1) to analyze the influence of cognate words in the oral production of L2 and L3 English speakers in terms of quantity and type of cognates (English-Portuguese, English-German, English-German-Portuguese); (2) to investigate CLI in the production of English as L3. Participants were required to narrate a story on the basis of four pictures. The analysis of the narratives showed that bilinguals and trilinguals produced a similar number of cognate words of the type English- Portuguese and English- German- Portuguese. Regarding the cognate type English- German, trilinguals produced a significant higher number of these words as compared to the bilinguals. Since the bilinguals had no knowledge of German, these results indicate that the L2 (German) of the trilinguals facilitated the production of English-German cognates. We interpret these results as evidence of the coactivation of the trilinguals’ languages.
Transitivity Analysis of Kamala Harris’ 2020 Presidential Victory Speech Concerning COVID-19

Language plays a vital role in political speech as it comes in a form of argument shaping and speech presenting which often contain a set of beliefs called ideology. It gets even more crucial when the speech is delivered as a presidential victory speech from developed countries such as the USA. Hence, investigation regarding presidential victory speech should be conducted. Regarding this, the present study aims to investigate the presence of political ideology in the USA 2020 vice president-elect Kamala Harris' victory speech concerning her plans to build back the USA during the COVID19 pandemic. This is due to the fact that not only she is the first female vice-president elect but she is also representing the people of colour. This study employs Qualitative Content Analysis (QCA) as the research method with Halliday’s transitivity system as the framework to analyse the data. The result shows that Kamala Harris implicitly demonstrates her liberalism ideology by inviting all the American people to not only focus on their own liberty but also others as well through the utilisation of Material (60%), Relational (19%), Mental (11%) and Behavioural (3%) processes in her speech. Thus, in other words, Kamala Harris plans to build back the USA by starting to enforce people’s liberty.
The COVID-19 Pandemic Effect on the Performance of the Islamic Banking Sector in KSA: An Empirical Study of Al Rajhi Bank

The aim of this study is to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the performance of the Islamic banking sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Several issues arose in the financial sector around the world after the COVID-19 crisis. The study looks at Al Rajhi Bank's progress before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Al Rajhi Bank is one of the largest banks in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the world, with $ 80 billion in deposits, $ 6.77 billion in paid-up stock, and a large employee base. The findings show that the COVID-19 crisis had only a minor impact on Saudi Arabia's Islamic banking system, especially the bank under investigation, and that Islamic banks are capable of escaping the financial and economic risks associated with the crisis. Islamic banks are distinguished from other commercial banks by their ability to respond quickly to crises such as economic and financial shocks.
