It highlights factors such as the duration of operation, the geographical location and the size of a university compared to administrative practices.
Revealing The Translation of Slang Words in ˜Prison Breaks Movie Subtitling from English into Indonesian

This article has an objective to find out the kind of slang words that are used and to describe the translation procedures used in translating slang expressions in the transcript of this movie into Indonesian subtitles. In this study, the problem is what kind of slang words that were used in the movie and what strategy that is used for translating slang words into Indonesian. The data in this article is classified based on the theories of Allan and Burridge (2006) classification of slang, which classified slang into five categories: fresh and creative, flippant, imitative, acronym, and clipping.Translation strategy by Mona Baker was used to determine the strategies used for translating slang words, which include similar meanings and forms, similar meanings but dissimilar forms, paraphrase, and omission. This article is potentially intended to extend awareness of the techniques used by the subtitlers in interpreting the slang expressions in the subtitles of the film. and give information about what kind of slang that was used in this movie. Because the data was in the form of words or written language with the object subtitles that occur in the movie and are pronounced by the characters, this study used a qualitative method. This study employs a variety of methods to analyze data relevant to the problem at hand, with the first problem employing Allan and Burridge theory and the second employing Mona Baker theory. The findings revealed that the dominant slang that is used is flippant and mostly uses similar meanings but dissimilar form techniques to translate them. In general, this study has revealed that there are 3 types of slang that are found which are flippant, fresh and creative, and imitative. This study also revealed that there are three strategies to translate slang which are similar meaning and form, similar meaning but dissimilar form, and paraphrase.
Is positive self-perception a determinant of cardiovascular performance? A didactic and sustainable view in female university students

Traditionally women have been less active and physically active than men. Although the recent literature indicates this gender gap, the sexes' difference when practicing sport seems to be decreasing. This study framework's importance could be reflected in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) proposed by UNESCO, which highlight the need to generate strategies to improve health (SDG 3) and equalize opportunities between men and women (SDG 4). The reasons for these differences are multifactorial, with intrinsic and extrinsic motivations indicated as requiring further research. Self-perception in physical performance has been documented to influence women to perform the exercise and physical activity. Therefore, this research aimed to identify and healthy women's self-perception and motivations to perform in a VO2 max test. A total of 31 women (21.12 ± 2.01) completed the research. The study was divided into two principal tests. On the one hand, the measurement of a sub-maximal incremental stress test following established ASCM indications. Heart rate and ventilatory parameters were measured during the stress test using a metabolic measurement system and a gas analyser. After the test, the study sample completed the self-completed Healthy Lifestyle Questionnaire and the International Short Form Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-SF), and the Self Report of Reasons for Physical Activity (AMPEF). Correlation between VO2 Max and average weight and body image (r = .001) was detected, showing the positive relationship between both values. The results obtained help confirm the importance of a positive self-perception in women regarding their weight and body image for better physical performance. Although these findings cannot be generalized, they establish a potential relationship between better physical performance and self-perception in most adults.
Dispersive shell pellet injection modeling and validation for DIII-D disruption mitigation

Dispersive shell pellet injection for disruption mitigation on the DIII-D tokamak is modeled with the 3D MHD code NIMROD. The simulations attempt to reproduce as closely as possible a pellet velocity scan that was performed on the DIII-D tokamak [Hollmann, et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 65001 (2019)]. This scan involved injecting a hollow diamond shell filled with boron dust that is released in the core of the plasma. Trends that are reproduced in the simulation include improved mitigation, reduced plasma current spike amplitude, and increased likelihood of hot-tail runaway electron production with increased pellet speed. The simulations provide additional physics insight into these findings. Limitations of the present model and requirements for a predictive model are discussed.
The Financial Literacy of Women Owners of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises in Sri Lanka

The success of the small and medium-sized enterprises depends extensively on the owner ’ s ability to be financially literate in managing finance-related matters of the business, irrespective of his or her gender. The purpose of this study is to identify the level of financial literacy of the women owners of small and medium sized enterprises in Sri Lanka. The construct ‘ financial literacy ’ was measured based on five dimensions, which are finance related awareness, financial planning, bookkeeping and accounting, knowledge about business terminology, risk management, and diversification. The convenience sampling method was applied to select 242 women owners from the population involved in Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative in Sri Lanka. Data was collection was conducted using a structured questionnaire, complemented by over-the-telephone and personnel interviews, to assess the level of financial literacy among the women owners of small and medium-sized enterprises in Sri Lanka. Descriptive analyses were used for the data analysis, at the end of which the study identified a moderate level financial literacy among the women owners of small and medium-sized enterprises in Sri Lanka. From the five dimensions chosen, the knowledge on bookkeeping and accounting, risk management, and diversification are the aspects that women entrepreneurs need to become experts in for the success of small and medium-sized enterprises. As the pioneer study that examines the level of financial literacy of women owners of small and medium-sized enterprises in Sri Lanka, this study would provide a significant benchmark for further research in the field. Nevertheless, the study also highlights the importance of including financial literacy education both for primary and tertiary educational institutions.
Tat Twam Asi and Derrida’s Differance for a Greener Accounting

This article aims to present a cultural accounting research methodology that is local as well as religious to construct a greener accounting. Construction methodology employed was substantive interrelationships between Jacques Derrida's thought of “differance” and an alternative path called Tat Twam Asi as the teachings of chastity without limits. The meaning contained in the teachings of Tat Twam Asi is "he is you, I am you, and all beings are the same". The result proves thatpresently accounting has been formed from the social, cultural, political, economic, ideological dimensions, and there is no room for God. Green accounting serves only as an economic reality. Through this extended methodology of Derrida and Tat Twam Asi, a greener accounting can be reconstructed.
Excavator driver seat occupational comfort assessment with Lumbar Support Cushion

The operators of excavators often suffer from dreadful Whole-Body Vibration. Besides, the operators are subject to postural instability which is considered to be a serious occupational health hazard. The main objective of this study is to investigate the role of Lumbar Support Cushion in mitigation of Whole-Body Vibration and postural instability under three different operating conditions such as Front-Manipulator Motion, Swing Motion and Propel-Drive Motion. The obtained Vibration Dose Value reveals a significant difference between the operation cycle (p < 0.001). Moreover, across the operation cycle with Lumbar Support Cushion a significant decrease in Vibration Dose Value (8) is observed on the operator seat-pan and backrest (p < 0.05). Further, the effect of Whole-Body Vibration on physiological stress factors, a significant decrease in systolic blood pressure by 1.26%, pulse rate by 2.75% and Rate Pressure Product by 4%, is observed with the use of Lumbar Support Cushion (p < 0.05) during the operation. The Lumbar Support Cushion helps in promoting a symmetric seating posture, and using Lumbar Support Cushion could help the excavator operator to increase in productivity during shift hour.
Evolutionary-based Federated Ensemble Learning on Face Recognition

Federated learning, as a distributed training framework of machine learning compared to the traditional training on a single, centralized dataset has been increasingly popular with advantages of addressing privacy, data ownership, data isolation and so on. One of the major challenges of federated learning framework is how to design model aggregation as data owners in the network may be different in data characteristics and communication delay which deceases training efficiency or even make the training invalid. To overcome these issues, we proposed a novel learning strategy based on evolutionary theory (EFEL) where we maintain a group of diversified models rather than a single, complex model and allow them to evolve independently. The proposed federated ensemble learning framework is evaluated on both benchmark and real-world databases and achieves better results than FedAvg and FedFS to train the state the art models in face recognition1

Recommendations for tourism policy, planning, and promotion are provided.
Humility in novice leaders: links to servant leadership and followers’ satisfaction with leadership

ABSTRACT Across two studies, we investigated connections between leader humility, servant leadership, and follower satisfaction. Leaders were resident and spiritual life advisors in on-campus housing at a university. In Study 1, we assessed leaders’ self-reported expressed humility, intellectual humility, and servant leadership at three times across six months. Leader humility did not change across time, but aspects of both forms of leader humility were positively associated with servant leadership. In Study 2, leaders were rated by their followers. Leaders reporting more respect for diverse viewpoints, a characteristic of intellectual humility, had followers who were more satisfied with their leaders’ interpersonal leadership and justice orientation. This research suggest potential benefits to cultivating humility among novice leaders in some contexts.

In our study, it was aimed to investigate the levels of depression and anxiety in patients with hyperemesis gravidarum, and to analyze the effect of hyperemesis on quality of life.
The Relation Between Chest X-Ray (CXR) and RT-PCR in COVID-19 Patients Hospitalized at Dustira Hospital

—Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-caused by infection of RNA virus from Coronaviridae family-can be manifest as mild to severe disease. Nowadays, CXR and rRT-PCR are mostly used additional examination to establish the diagnosis of COVID-19. The objective of this study is to determine relation between CXR and rRT-PCR on COVID-19 patients. This is an analytic observational study with cross sectional approach using secondary data from medical record of COVID-19 patients hospitalized at Dustira Hospital during March – December 2020. There are 47 patients whose match inclusion and exclusion criteria from 51 sample that successfully gathered. Statistical analysis is performed using chi-square test. Basic characterized of this population study showed male predomination (76,60%) with more than half patient aged between 20 – 39 years old (51,10%). CXR result of forty-one patients (87.33%) reflect COVID-19 specific feature. Most patients have rRT-PCR with positive result (89,36%). Chi-square test showed no significant relation between CXR and rRT-PCR result. This condition can be happened because the patient truly does not get infected with SARS-Cov-2 or may be their test giving false negative result.
The Structural Relationship among Perceived Service Quality, Perceived Value, and Customer Satisfaction-Focused on Starbucks Reserve Coffee Shops in Shanghai, China

In today’s increasingly competitive coffee industry, the point of running a good coffee shop is no longer to run a coffee and beverage shop simply, but to focus on the quality of service and the value that customers feel as a result. Previous studies have mainly discussed the customer satisfaction and behavioral intention of restaurants, while few studies have explored the influencing factors of customer satisfaction and behavioral intention of chain coffee shops. Given that the perceived service quality theory and DINESERV model can effectively predict customer satisfaction and behavioral intention, this study took 385 consumers in the first Starbucks Reserve flagship store in China as survey objects. SmartPLS 3.0 software was used to explore the relationship among respondents’ perceived service quality, customer perceived value, satisfaction, and behavioral intention. The results show that service quality has a partially significant positive effect on perceived value. Perceived service quality and customers’ perceived value both have significant positive effects on satisfaction. Customers’ satisfaction has a significant positive effect on their behavioral intention. These results indicate that enterprises should strengthen the emotional bond between consumers and enterprises and improve the reliability, assurance, and empathy of perceived service quality to create a better emotional resonance between consumers and the Starbucks brand to improve customer satisfaction. At the same time, it should also promote the symbolic perceived value of Chinese consumers to Starbucks to realize the sustainable development of coffee-shop operation and consumer repurchase. This study expands the research on the service quality, perceived value, and behavioral intention of coffee chain enterprises in the context of non-habitual coffee-drinking countries. Moreover, it provides case support for the operation and research of regional cultural consumption habits of international catering chain enterprises.
Left behind in perception of air pollution? A hidden form of spatial injustice in China

In recent years, the smog problem has aroused wide concern in China. However, people have different perceptions of the severity of air pollution, even in similarly polluted environments. Based on a quantitative analysis of Chinese General Social Survey data, air quality index data, news reports in 2013, and multi-site anthropological observations, this paper demonstrates that the public perception of air pollution is not determined by physiological feelings and the external environment, but rather by the media, social networks, and other sociocultural factors, which are highly localized. This creates a hidden form of spatial injustice—people living in regions that lack a social milieu of smog awareness are less likely to sense smog and to take precautions; they are therefore left behind in the perception of air pollution and in their chances of preventing illnesses associated with air pollution.
“A Woman’s Degree Must End in the Kitchen”: Expectations of Women in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo

This study draws on a qualitative approach to explore how adolescents perceive women’s and men’s roles in marriage and family life. A sample of 56 boys and girls aged 16–20 from two urban and two rural high schools in South Kivu province took part in focus groups, and 40 of them were subsequently interviewed individually. The results show that most male participants believe husbands should fill the breadwinner role, and expect wives to remain the primary caretakers. Female participants reported that men are reluctant to allow their wives to have a job despite their degrees. However, most female participants disapproved of the mentioned beliefs of expecting wives to remain home doing housework and the husband to be the only primary breadwinner. The majority of male and female participants identified socio-cultural pressure for men (rather than women) to acquire education, formal employment, and, eventually, household decision-making. There is a need to challenge the structures of rigid gender roles that relegate women to a secondary role in work, making them “naturally” responsible for domestic chores and childcare.
Sources and transport pathways of precipitating waters in cold-season deep North Atlantic cyclones

Extratropical cyclones are responsible for a large share of precipitation at mid-latitudes and they profoundly impact the characteristics of the water cycle. In this study, we use the ERA5 reanalysis and a cyclone tracking scheme combined with a Lagrangian diagnostic to identify the sources of moisture precipitating close to the center of 676 deep North Atlantic cyclones in winters 1979 to 2018. Moisture uptakes occur pre-dominantly in originally cold and dry air heated over the North Atlantic, in particular, over the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, whereas more remote sources from land or the subtropics are less important. Analysing the dynamical environment of moisture uptakes, we find that moisture precipitating during the cyclone intensification phase originates in the pre-cyclone environment in the cold sectors of preceding cyclones and the cyclone-anticyclone interaction zone. These moisture sources are linked to the cyclone’s ascent regions via the so-called feeder airstream, a north-easterly cyclone-relative flow that arises due to the cyclone propagation exceeding the advection by the low-level background flow. During the decay phase more and more of the moisture originates in the cyclone’s own cold sector. Consequently, the residence time of precipitating waters in cyclones is short (median of ≈ 2 days) and transport distances are typically less than the distance travelled by the cyclone itself. These findings emphasize the importance of pre-conditioning by surface fluxes in the pre-cyclone environment for the formation of precipitation in cyclones, and suggest an important role for the hand-over of moisture from one cyclone to the next within a storm track.
SOCIAL CAPITAL AND INTERNATIONALIZATION OF FAMILY SMEs IN CAMPECHE, MEXICO: A QUALITATIVE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

Abstract Purpose: To study the internationalization of family SMEs in Mexico. Theoretical framework: Our review examines the relational approach to internationalization and the strategic approach to family businesses. It covers three types of social capital, market orientation, and international business orientation. Design/methodology/approach: This is a fuzzy-set qualitative case study. Seven family SMEs from the fishing sector in Campeche, Mexico, compose the sample. Findings: Linking is determining factor for internationalization. The cessation of internationalization occurs in family businesses because of a lack of international entrepreneurship, the family’s presence, and a lack of vertical links. Practical & social implications: This study expands the research on internationalization in family SMEs in an emerging economy context, empirically demonstrating how the analyzed exporters’ social capital links directly influence their activity. For business professionals, the challenge is to manage their links abroad. Our results show that links play a crucial role in internationalization in this context. Exporters that have not internationalized are advised to strengthen their connections with key government institutions. Originality/value: We show that there is more than one optimal way for family SMEs to succeed in internationalization. Research on the internationalization of family businesses in Mexico is very scarce. Thus, this study responds to calls for further research on the internationalization of SMEs in emerging economies.
Resilience toward Volcanic Eruptions: Risk Perception and Disaster Microinsurance in Yogyakarta, Indonesia

Disaster microinsurance has been argued to enhance people’s resilience toward natural hazards. In developing countries, however, the uptake of this insurance scheme has been limited. This paper investigates the influence of the perception of disaster risks on the probability of local people participating in a hypothetical disaster microinsurance scheme. We use household data to assess a specific disaster risk, notably the risk of an eruption of the Mount Merapi in Yogyakarta. We find that this perception positively influences the interest to participate in disaster microinsurance. We also find that insurance literacy has a strong positive relationship with the respondent’s interest to participate in disaster microinsurance.
