THE ARQOV – MEHIA ROCK ART PARK AND BEDOUIN CULTURAL HERITAGE RESERVE

This letter is a reaction of the Janabib people of the Negev Highlands to the proposed National Park that is about to be inaugurated in the Har Mehia – Har Arqov area of our traditional territory. On one hand, we welcome the decision and are proud that our cultural heritage is considered worth to be protected and presented to the public. On the other hand, we are deeply concerned about the possibility of being separated from the areas that were marked by our ancestors with their rock engravings and wusum. We find it cynical that our traditional territorial markings and narrative rock engravings should be used as an excuse to restrict our adherence to a way of life that produced the cultural artifacts planned to be legally protected. Therefore, we have decided that, as the autochthonous inhabitants of the territory designated to be a National Park, we will adopt a unanimously supported stance based on empirical data accepted by both parties in this debate. Because, as already mentioned, we are inclined to support the project and co-operate in its execution, we have decided that Mr. , who has worked for the last two decades Id al Kashkhar as a ranger with the Nature Reserves and Parks Authority would serve as our representative. He is motivated by a wish to reconcile his professional and tribal obligations. Moreover, he enjoys the trust and respect of the Avdat Janabib and also that of the Nature and Parks Authority. In this letter we formulate our vision, recommendations, and conditions regarding the Park, and our role in its inauguration. A ten-point-draft is presented, with inserts from academically-accepted research that is listed in the references. The letter is signed by a number of Janabib Elders. _______________ * Copies of this letter sent to the following recipients: International Federation of Rock Art Organizations (IFRAO) Negev Rock Art Center Israel Nature and Parks Authority Ramat Negev Regional Council
THE ROLE OF IMPULSIVITY IN MILITARY LEADERSHIP - A LITERATURE REVIEW

This paper focuses on impulsivity as a significant predictor of risk-taking and decision-making in the context of military leadership. It examines the possible sources and implications of elevated levels of impulsivity in this specific leadership domain, looks at the approaches to studying this subject, as well as other key implications of this construct. Attention is also paid to the prevention and elimination of undesirable forms of impulsive behavior, especially in the context of dealing with challenging situations in the real conditions of professional activity of military leadership students and in the performance of military service of military leaders.
Impact of NGO Governing Issues for the Employee Turnover Intention (A Study Based on Sri Lanka)

NGOs plays a pivotal role in peace and development. NGOs have risen as an imperative on-screen character within the Sri Lankan civil society all through the last three decades. Be that as it may, NGOs concerned with improvement confront the administration of a complex and different run of issues. NGOs confront inner administration issues, for illustration questions of key arranging, budgeting, staffing, and the administering structure of the organization, development and alter inside the organization. NGOs moreover confront the administration of outside connections, relations with government, the private division, other NGOs and with their target communities. The analyst of this research has gone by various NGOS in Ampara and Batticaloa area utilizing another task for finding nearby accomplices for the execution of Peacebuilding ventures in those area. The genuine point of this paper was to find the existing reasons of turnover, and the representatives to produce the intention of turnover within the NGOs and to get it the in-depth understanding of basic causes and migratory measures through open and one to one discourse the coordinate parties who have concerns and results of this issue. An overview instrument was utilized with 150 interviews and by using SPSS, relationship and relapse tests were performed to reach at the discoveries. Based on the discoveries a number of administration suggestions and headings for further inquire about are given. Finding appears that representative turnover purposeful encompasses a critical relationship with the factors i.e. Work fulfillment, Believe Relationship, Work Security, Organizational Commitment and Work Push but it has an inconsequential relationship with Individual, Organization Fit while the major supporter to turn over deliberate is Work Push and Worker Believe Connections.
Worldwide Students’ Satisfaction with Virtual Education during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Systematic Review

Background: With the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, most schools and universities worldwide were forced to cancel their face-to-face activities and switch to e-learning and online education. This study aimed to investigate students' satisfaction with virtual education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and Methods: The present study is a systematic review of Persian and English articles extracted from Persian (SID, Magiran, and CIVILICA); and English databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and EMBASE) up to November 2021 using the related Mesh keywords. Results: The students’ satisfaction with virtual education during the COVID-19 pandemic across worldwide studies ranged from 26.4% (Jordan) to 82% (Saudi Arabia). The highest satisfaction was related to students from Saudi Arabia, Poland, and South Korea, and the lowest satisfaction was related to students from Jordan, Iran, and the USA. According to respondents’ answers, the main advantages of online learning were the ability to stay home, continuous access to online materials, learning at one’s own pace, and comfortable surroundings. The results showed that the quality of elearning was mainly derived from service quality with administrative, technical, and learning assistance through tutors and the library, teachers’ active role in the process of online education with their responsiveness and timely feedback, and the overall system quality with the mode of delivery and IT infrastructure. Conclusion: Satisfaction with the quality of virtual education varied in different countries from 26.4 to 82%. Online learning is essential at current times but is not an effective alternative for all college students. The blended method that combines face-to-face classes and practical sessions with online learning can be a practical suggestion.
Navier-Stokes and Potential Calculations of Axial Spacing Effect on Vortical and Potential Disturbances and Gust Response in an Axial Compressor

The effect of blade row axial spacing on vortical and potential disturbances and gust response is studied for a compressor stator/rotor configuration near design and at high loadings using 2D incompressible Navier-Stokes and potential codes, both written for multistage calculations. First, vortical and potential disturbances downstream of the isolated stator in the moving frame are defined; these disturbances exclude blade row interaction effects. Then, vortical and potential disturbances for the stator/rotor configuration are calculated for axial gaps of 10%, 20%, and 30% chord. Results show that the potential disturbance is uncoupled; the potential disturbance calculated from the isolated stator configuration is a good approximation for that from the stator/rotor configuration for all three axial gaps. The vortical disturbance depends strongly on blade row interactions. Low order modes of vortical disturbance are of substantial magnitude and decay much more slowly downstream than do those of potential disturbance. Vortical disturbance decays linearly with increasing mode except very close to the stator trailing edge. For a small axial gap, lower order modes of both vortical and potential disturbances must be included to determine the rotor gust response.Copyright © 1995 by ASME

In this work, we show our new data, including facies analysis, petrography and isotope geochemistry obtained in Neoproterozoic carbonates of the Salitre Formation, in an outcrop located in the Achado village, 5 km east of the city of Irecê, Bahia. The main objective was to verify the relationship between lithofacies and fluid-rock migration using δC and δO carbonate data. Facies analysis was carried out in a section of continuous exposure, with wellpreserved facies layers, resulting in a stratigraphic column with 345m. The facies identified were grouped into three facies associations, distributed on a carbonate ramp system: (FA1) inner carbonate ramp dominated by tidal process and microbialites, (FA2) inner carbonate ramp dominated by waves and (FA3) mid carbonate ramp dominated by storm waves. Despite wellpreserved sedimentary structures, the entire sequence presents deformation features, such as veins, fractures and faults. Based on lithology, sedimentary features and isotope variations, the column was divided into three sections, namely: 1) lower; 2) middle; and 3) upper. The lower section is characterized by limestones, where δC ranges from -0.46‰ to +3.17, which reflects deposition when the basin was connected to the Neoproterozoic open ocean. The middle and upper sections are characterized by dolostones, and have δC values ranging from -3.41‰ to +13.69‰, representing deposition in a restricted basin. The diagenetic evolution of the succession is characterized by six distinct diagenetic stages: marine, authigenic, reflux, meteoric, burial and hydrothermal. The paleoenvironmental and diagenetic conditions were fundamental to establish the fluid flow in the studied carbonate succession. The dolostones of the middle and upper sections are characterized by frequent occurrences of veins, which suggests a lithological control of the distribution of fractures and faults. Such structures were the main conduits for fluid migration, which presented lateral spread due to facies control. In the dolostones, two groups of veins were identified which represent different sources of fluids. The first one is characterized by very negative δC (ranging from -8.99‰ to +0.61‰) and δO (ranging from 4.24 ‰ to -9.29‰) values, and radiogenic Sr/Sr values (ranging from 0.71056 to 0.73854), representing external hydrothermal fluids. The other group was formed in a closed system as a result of the fluid-rock interaction through a pressure-solution mechanism. Similar δC and δO values for veins and host rock support this interpretation. The multidisciplinary study involving facies analysis, diagenesis and isotope geochemistry allowed for the identification of the probable sources of fluids that percolated the basin, as well as of the isotopic changes in the host rock due to fluid-rock interaction. The identification of fluid flow zones in carbonate reservoirs is extremely important, since such fluids may cause changes in the quality of the reservoirs, especially in relation to porosity and permeability.

Four-wire measurements have been introduced by Lord Kelvin in 1861 and have since become the standard technique for characterizing small resistances and impedances. However, high-density 4-wire measurements are generally complex, timeconsuming, and inefficient because of constraints on interconnects, pads, external wires, and mechanical contacts, thus reducing reproducibility, statistical significance, and throughput. Here, we introduce, systematically design, analyze, and experimentally validate zero interconnect networks interfaced to external instrumentation by couples of twin wire. 3D-printed holders with magnets, interconnects, nonadhesive layers, and spacers can effortlessly establish excellent electrical connections with tunable or minimum contact forces and enable accurate measurements even for delicate devices, such as thin metals on soft polymers. As an example, we measured all the resistances of a twin-wire 29-resistor network made of silver-nanoparticle ink printed on polyimide, paper, or photo paper, including during sintering or temperature calibration, resulting in an unprecedentedly easy and accurate characterization of both resistivity and its temperature coefficient. The theoretical framework and experimental strategies reported here represent a breakthrough toward zero interconnect, simple, and efficient high-density 4-wire characterizations, can be generalized to other 4-wire measurements (impedances, sensors) and can open the way to more statistically meaningful and reproducible analyses of materials, high-throughput measurements, and minimally invasive characterizations of biomaterials.

Results indicated that, moringa leaf extract diluted to 10 times with water gave the highest mean values of fruit set (%) and total soluble solid percentage, while, moringa leaf extract diluted to 10 times with water recorded the maximum (%) of fruit set and total soluble solid, also, foliar application of potassium K (3 %), gave the maximum values of fruit yield (kg/tree), yield (t/fed), fruit weight (g), fruit length (cm), fruit diameter(cm), fruit volume (cm3), plup weight (g), juice (%), acidity (%), total sugar (%), reducing sugar (%) and non-reducing sugar (%) as compared with the control which gave the lowest mean values of the characters.
Investigating how self-regulation processes can mediate the relationship between grandiose narcissism and mental health indicators among iranian university students

Purpose: In the current study, we aimed to assess the mediatory role of Self-Regulation Processes in Relationship between Grandiose Narcissism and Mental Health indicators among Iranian university students. Background: Self-regulation represents multiple processes that have a considerable role in mediating emotional or mental health problems. Grandiose narcissism, a mental disorder, is characterized by overt expressions of feelings of superiority and entitlement. Mental health indicators like depression, anxiety, or self-esteem could be affected by narcissism. In previous studies, the relationship between self-regulation processes and mental health parameters were reviewed broadly. We hypothesized that these processes could suppress grandiosity and its emotions by mediating the relationship between Grandiose Narcissism and Mental Health indicators in students. Methods: A number of 250 female and male University students in Tehran, Iran were selected to complete Grandiose Narssism Scale (GNS), Authentic – Hubristic Pride Scale (AHPS), The Other As Shame Scale (OAS-2), Integrative Self – Knowledge Scale (ISKS), Mindful Attention Awarness Scale (MASS), Short Self Control Scale, Anxiety and Depression Scale, and Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (RSES) questionnaires. The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and adjusted regression analysis. Results: The results of adjusted regression analysis revealed that mindfulness can moderated the relation between grandiose narcissism and mental health (ΔR2 =.005, ΔF=7.29, P=.001). The results also showed that there is a negative significant relation between Integrative Self – Knowledge and Grandiose Narcissism (r=-.14). Moreover, there was a significant positive correlation between authentic pride and integrative self-knowledge (r=.23), self-control (r=.29), and mindfulness (r=.31), a significant negative correlation between hubristic pride and self-control (r=-.27), and between shame and integrative self-knowledge (r=-.32), self-control (r=-.33) and mindfulness (r=-.20). Conclusion: Based on the results, it can be concluded that self-regulation processes can influence the relationship between Grandiose Narcissism and mental health.
The Economics of Alternative Tillage Systems, Crop Rotations, and Herbicide use on Three Representative East-Central Corn Belt Farms

A linear programming model was used to determine which crop rotations and weed management systems result in the highest net farm income for each of three farm sizes (120, 240, and 480 hectares) under alternative tillage systems. Test plot data for the years 1981 through 1988 from the Purdue University Agronomy Farm, which has highly productive, well-drained soils, were analyzed. Net incomes for no-till tillage systems on all farms in the model were consistently and significantly lower than incomes for moldboard and chisel plow tillage systems due to slightly lower yields and substantially higher herbicide costs. Generally, net farm incomes were slightly higher with a moldboard plow versus chisel plow tillage system. Also, as farm size increased, per hectare net incomes increased. About 80% of the time under moldboard or chisel plow tillage systems, the model chose as optimal the lowest of three herbicide application rates. A corn/soybean rotation was chosen as optimal on 56% of the farm area analyzed, versus 25% for continuous corn and 13% for a corn/soybean/wheat rotation.
Developing engineering design expertise – part 1: framing

Abstract One aspect engineering degrees is the teaching/development of engineering design. Design shows nuances that make it different from other subjects. This is primarily due to the open-ended nature of design problems. Much current literature implicitly assumes problem-based learning is the approach to be used in design. However, research into the development of expertise indicates that deliberate practice – focusing on the development of each key respective attributes – can be used in any discipline. Further research into engineering design indicates that the key attributes of engineering design are framing, the application of first principles and systemic thinking. This article reports on the attempt to develop a deliberate practice task for the development of framing (converting given problems in to one to be solved) in engineering design students. It was found that focusing on exercises to frame generic problems as engineering problems improved students framing ability and also changed their understanding of framing and design practice. It is concluded that deliberate practice can play a role in engineering design education, but the nature of the role requires further research. Further, the determination of what other engineering design attributes can be developed with deliberate practice is also required.
Isolation and characterization of biosurfactant producing bacteria from Mile 2 and Ologe Lagoons, Nigeria

Aims: This study was aimed to isolate and characterize biosurfactant producing bacteria from Mile 2 and Ologe Lagoon which are sinks for domestic and industrial waste waters and potential source of value added bioresources such as biosurfactants, hydrocarbon degraders and organisms with potential for biotechnological applications. Methodology and results: Physicochemical parameters of the two lagoon waters were analyzed using standard procedures. Bacteria were isolated using enrichment techniques on 1% Escravos light crude oil, palm oil and groundnut oil on mineral salt medium (MSM). Biosurfactant production by the isolates was assayed by hemolytic activity, oil spread test, blue agar test and emulsification activity. Isolates were identified using their colonial morphology and biochemical characteristics, while the antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates was determined using multidisc. The physicochemistry of the lagoon water showed high nitrate content of 15.7 mg/L and 19.6 mg/L for Mile 2 and Ologe Lagoon, respectively. Total hydrocarbon content (THC) of both lagoon waters was low, with values 0.53 mg/L for Mile 2 Lagoon and 0.44 mg/L for Ologe Lagoon. The predominant genera of bacteria identified include Micrococcus, Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Stomatococcus and Moraxella. A total of 23 bacterial isolates were tested for hemolytic activity of which 13 showed β-hemolysis which is presumptive for biosurfactant production, 5 showed α-hemolysis and the remaining 5 exhibited γ-hemolysis. Majority of the isolates were positive for oil spread assay and blue agar test (19) indicating production of anionic biosurfactant. The isolates showed good emulsification activity; AGG3 (67.7%), AGG1 (62.3%), AGG2 (60%), AGG4 (60%), MTP2 (56%), AGC4 (54%) and the least emulsification value of 23.3% for strain AGP1. Most of the isolates were susceptible to ciprofloxacin, perfloxacin and showed resistance to septrin and erythromycin. Conclusion, significance and impact of study: This study showed that Mile 2 and Ologe Lagoon are a potential source of biosurfactant producers with diverse emulsification properties with prospective industrial applications. This would have implication for economic empowerment, as well as sustainable and environmentally friendly clean-up technology in both locally and globally.
Topics in Middle Eastern and African Economies

This paper seeks to examine the effect of remittances on economic growth in Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries. Using unbalanced panel data covering a sample of 12 MENA countries over the period 1984-2012, we studied the hypothesis that the effect of remittances on economic growth varies depending on the level of financial development and institutional environment in recipient countries. We use GMM estimation in which we address the endogeneity of remittances. Our results reveal a complementary relationship among financial development and remittances to ensure economic growth. The estimations also show that remittances promote growth in countries with a developed financial system and a strong institutional environment.
