Impact of the Meaningfulness of Life on the Daily Activities of Industrial Workers

Footwear craft is one of the superior products that is distributed in the 3 districts in Bogor Regency. This sector has the potential to absorb labor in order to reduce unemployment and also affect the community's economy. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of a meaningful life on the work ethic of Muslim footwear craftsmen in Bogor Regency. Samples were taken from 316 craftsmen in 3 districts, namely Ciomas, Tamansari, and Dramaga in Bogor Regency. Quantitative research methods and data analysis techniques using Structural Equation Modeling with Lisrel 8.8 software, was used to test the hypothesis. Furthermore, the Goodness of Fit Index (GFI) value of the Structural Equation Model was 0.92. However, when the calculated GFI value is greater than the critical GFI, it can be considered good and the model suitable. The results showed that the meaning of life affects the Work Ethic of Muslim footwear craftsmen in Bogor Regency.
Variation in the sensitivity of DOC release between different organic soils following H2SO4 and sea‐salt additions

Long‐term monitoring data from eastern North America and Europe indicate a link between increased dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations in surface waters over the last two decades and decreased atmospheric pollutant and marine sulphur (S) deposition. The hypothesis is that decreased acidity and ionic strength associated with declining S deposition has increased the solubility of DOC. However, the sign and magnitude of DOC trends have varied between sites, and in some cases at sites where S deposition has declined, no significant increase in DOC has been observed, creating uncertainty about the causal mechanisms driving the observed trends. In this paper, we demonstrate chemical regulation of DOC release from organic soils in batch experiments caused by changes in acidity and conductivity (measured as a proxy for ionic strength) associated with controlled SO42− additions. DOC release from the top 10 cm of the O‐horizon of organo‐mineral soils and peats decreased by 21–60% in response to additions of 0–437 µeq SO42− l−1 sulphuric acid (H2SO4) and neutral sea‐salt solutions (containing Na+, Mg2+, Cl−, SO42−) over a 20‐hour extraction period. A significant decrease in the proportion of the acid‐sensitive coloured aromatic humic acids (measured by specific ultra‐violet absorbance (SUVA) at 254 nm) was also found with increasing acidity (P < 0.05) in most, but not all, soils, confirming that DOC quality, as well as quantity, changed with SO42− additions. DOC release appeared to be more sensitive to increased acidity than to increased conductivity. By comparing the change in DOC release with bulk soil properties, we found that DOC release from the O‐horizon of organo‐mineral soils and semi‐confined peats, which contained greater exchangeable aluminium (Al) and had lower base saturation (BS), were more sensitive to SO42− additions than DOC release from blanket peats with low concentrations of exchangeable Al and greater BS. Therefore, variation in soil type and acid/base status between sites may partly explain the difference in the magnitude of DOC changes seen at different sites where declines in S deposition have been similar.
The Impact of Incorporating Stylistic Models of Inversion in Teaching Grammar on Students’ Comprehension of Literary Text

Pedagogical stylistics increases EFL learners’ awareness about the way the language functions in different texts. It also enhances innovative learning and teaching. This study aims at knowing the impact of incorporating stylistic models of inversion in teaching grammar on students’ comprehension of literary texts. It also aims to explore the learners’ perceptions about incorporating them in grammar courses. The models were adopted by (Galperin, 1977). A total of 85 EFL learners at King Khalid University participated in this study; 41 are students of Grammar III and are divided into two groups (15, 26); 44 are students of Grammar IV and are divided into two groups (20, 24). The second phase of the research is a unified long text exam that contains stylistic models of inversion in literary texts and is given to all students. Generally, the post-test results show that the participants identify stylistic models of inversion that help them understand the meaning of texts. Moreover, the quantitative approach shows the learners' preference for incorporating models in grammar courses because they are important in comprehending literary texts. The study recommends considering stylistic implications in teaching grammar in general and stylistic models of inversion in particular.
Project governance practices in urban public housing projects: a case study of public housing in Malaysia

The urban public housing project, especially for low-income people, is essential to cater to the increasing urbanisation rate in Malaysia. This study aimed to gain an understanding of the project governance practices in urban public housing projects in Malaysia, which will lead to better project delivery and the successful outcome of the projects.

Parents’ Views of a Classroom and Closed-Road Post-License Driving Program for Teen Drivers, Guard Your Life

In the US, teenage drivers have an increased risk of being involved in crashes. To address this, post-license advanced driving programs have emerged. This study gains parents’ perspectives while observing their teens’ involvement in a post-license driving program focused on a hands-on introduction to emergency braking, skid recovery and the dangers of distracted driving. Parents completed a survey after the program, and for comparison purposes, the teens also completed a survey at the end of the program. While the parents only observed the program, the results revealed that most learned useful information and would consider additional training for themselves. Almost all teens and parents reported anticipating changing their driving behaviors, specifically by reducing distractions, having a heightened awareness and changing their driving position. These results suggest that parents benefited from simply observing the class.

Awake minimally invasive surgery as a game changer in lung cancer

Surgery still offers the best option for patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer that can tolerate surgery. With the increase in screening programs, more patients are diagnosed at early stages of cancer. Sadly, not all of them are fit for surgery, but with minimally invasive approaches, large number of those patients can be offered surgery and get a better overall survival. Awake non-intubated video assisted thoracic surgery resection is one of the most recent technique that we believe to be a game changer in this spectrum of patients who were previously classified as medically inoperable.
The Influence of Work Motivation and Work Environment on Employee Performance at Trapo Indonesia

The impact of work inspiration and work environment on work execution is very important, and some theoretical and fact assessments in several companies also show work motivation and a supportive environment that provides a very large increase in employee performance, plus in this “NEW NORMAL” period many companies make breakthroughs in running its business once again so that the company can survive in the midst of this crisis. Based on these conditions, the quality of performance and motivation in a company needs to be improved by formulating a new policy in the work system in the company so that it can pass through times like this, which is a new program or procedure in the system to improve employee performance in a company. The method used in this study is the procedure for approaching employees, research that emphasizes the basic principles of work motivation and the environment which seeks to create a new work environment that is more developed in situations like this. The theory outlined below will greatly assist companies, especially Trapo Indonesia, in evaluating and updating inspiration and work environment governance that can have a positive effect on the company and can moreover progress representative execution even better.
Students’ Perceived Intensity of Lecturers’ Self-Disclosure on Facebook Account

One salient issue regarding Facebook use in instruction is the role of lecturers’ self-disclosure in student learnings. This self-disclosure can be in a personal or impersonal mode of lecturers’ Facebook account. This research examined the level of students’ perceived intensity of self-disclosure by lecturers’ in a personal and impersonal mode of Facebook use for instruction. The quasi-experimental research design was used for this research, and a total of 120 students participated in the study were assigned into two groups. One group (60 students) connect with their lecturers via lecturers’ personal Facebook account. The other group (60 students) connect with their lecturers via lecturers’ impersonal Facebook account. Participants fill out a self-administered questionnaire on week one (pre-test) and week fourteen (post-test) of the semester. The questionnaire contained questions on the perceived breadth of lecturers’ self-disclosure. The results revealed the level of students’ perceived intensity of lecturers’ self-disclosure is higher in lecturer personal Facebook account than in lecturers’ impersonal Facebook account. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the use of Facebook in instruction by clarifying the association of students’ perceived lecturers’ self-disclosure on Facebook.

Exposure to solid aerosols during regular MMA welding and grinding operations on stainless steel

Tests of air concentrations of solid aerosols during manual metal arc (MMA) welding on stainless steel were carried out at three working sites. In addition to a detailed description of the work situation, samples of welding fume were collected from both the breathing zone and the general air. Air concentrations of total solid aerosols were determined gravimetrically. Total amounts of metal compounds (i.e., nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), iron, and manganese) and water-soluble hexavalent chromium (CrVI), were determined. The mean fume concentrations during MMA welding were 5.4 mg/m3 inside a ship section, 3.0 mg/m3 at an offshore module, and 2.0 mg/m3in welding shops. The highest concentrations of CrVI were found during MMA welding inside the ship section, with a mean concentration of 140 µg/m3 (range 4–640 µg/m3). CrVIcomprised about 50% of the total Cr by weight. Though the base material contained approximately 20% Cr and 10% Ni, the Cr and Ni contents (µg/mg welding fumes) varied greatly among the different.
Minimum wages and the fate of Indonesian young workers

Government policies that are directly related to the relationship between workers and companies are determining minimum wages. The effect of this minimum wage becomes more varied for developing countries with large populations such as Indonesia. Young workers have sensitive effect to fluctuation of the minimum wage policy, whereas the percentage of Indonesia young workers is more than 20 percent of the total workforce in 2015-2019. Therefore, the aim of this research is to analyze the effect of minimum wage policies on the status of young workers in Indonesia using quantitative data from the National Labour Force Survey (Sakernas) 2015-2019 with the multinomial logit analysis method. The results of this study are an increase in the minimum wage decreases the probability of young workers to have status as paid workers in the covered sector. In urban areas, an increase in the minimum wage increases the probability of young male workers being unemployed and decreases the probability being self-employed. On the other hand, an increase in the minimum wage causes female urban workers reducing the probability of being unemployed and increasing the probability of them being self-employed. Therefore, the minimum wage policy must be balanced with strengthen the education and training and also consider policies that increase youth labor market opportunities but do not increase employer costs for young workers. On the other hand, the government must be continuous to improve policies that support the progress of informal sector, for example in terms of providing capital, reducing loan interest rates, etc.
Mnemonic Techniques and Lie Detection: Accuracy of Truth and Deception Judgments in Repeated Accounts

This study was an examination into whether the use of memory-enhancing techniques (mnemonics) in interviews can be helpful to distinguish truth tellers from liars. In the previous study (Izotovas et al., 2018), it was found that when mnemonic techniques were used in the interview immediately after the event, truth-tellers reported more details than liars in those immediate interviews and again after a delay. Moreover, truth-tellers, but not liars, showed patterns of reporting indicative of genuine memory decay. In the current experiment, participants (n = 92) were asked to read the repeated statements reported by participants in the Izotovas et al.’s (2018) study and decide whether the statements they read were truthful or deceptive. One group of participants (informed condition) received information about the findings of the previous study before reading the statement. The other group received no information before reading the statement (uninformed condition). After participants made veracity judgements, they were asked an open-ended question asking what factors influenced their credibility decision. Although truthful statements were judged more accurately in the informed condition (65.2%) than in the uninformed condition (47.8%), this difference was not significant. In both conditions deceptive statements were detected at chance level (52.2%). Participants who relied on the self-reported diagnostic verbal cues to deceit were not more accurate than participants who self-reported unreliable cues. This could happen because only the minority of participants (27.4%) in both conditions based their decisions on diagnostic cues to truth/deceit.
Factors and Causes of Puerperal Sepsis in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania: A Descriptive Study among Postnatal Women who Attended Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre

Background: Puerperal sepsis is the major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. About 94% of maternal mortality occur in low and middle-income countries including Tanzania. Objective: To estimate the prevalence, document factors and causes of puerperal sepsis among postnatal women who attended postnatal care in Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre Hospital in the year 2015. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre, Tanzania. A total of 183 medical records of attendance in 2015 were used for the study. Information about the isolated organism in culture was retrieved from the Laboratory Information System. Results: The prevalence of puerperal sepsis was 11.5% (21/183). The most common factors and causes of puerperal sepsis included caesarean section 66.7% (14/21), postpartum haemorrhage 57.1% (12/21), moderate to severe anaemia 61.9% (13/21), prolonged labour 76.2% (16/21) and bacterial infection 90.5% (19/21). The difference was significant at p<. 05. The most bacteria species isolated among women with puerperal sepsis was Staphylococcus spp 50.0% (7/14), Escherichia 28.6% (4/14) and Streptococcus spp 21.4% (3/14). Conclusion: Puerperal sepsis is prevalent (11.5%) at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre. Staphylococcus spp was found to be a predominant isolate which causes puerperal sepsis followed by E. coli and Streptococcus spp.
Assessment of diastatic, proteolytic and lipolytic activities of yellow and brown varieties of Cyperus esculentus (Tigernuts) extracts

Analyses of two varieties of Cyperus esculentus (tigernuts) showed that the 100-nutweight of the yellow variety (49.1 g) was higher than the brown variety (14.8 g). The percentage of moisture contents for the yellow and brown varieties were 13.50% and 5.78% respectively. Treatment of soluble starch with tigernut extracts showed that starch hydrolysis occurred. The time for diastatic activity (α+ β+ γ-amylase activities) to completely hydrolyse starch was generally longer than either αor β-amylase activity at 50°C. Periods and temperatures for complete starch hydrolysis by α-, βand γ-amylases were virtually the same in the two tigernut extracts. The shortest time for complete starch hydrolyses by diastatic activity occurred at 50°C and 65°C for both yellow and brown varieties respectively. Least period for starch hydrolysis by α-amylase activity in both varieties occurred at 50°C, while the least time for β-amylase and γ-amylase activities in both tigernut varieties occurred at 65°C. Quantitative determination of amylolytic enzymes of yellow tigernut extract (TNE) on ‘dry basis’ showed that diastatic activity (183.6o) > α-amylase activity (167.3o) > β-amylase activity (119.8o) > γ-amylase activity (47.5o). Similarly, brown TNE amylolytic enzymes on ‘dry basis’ showed that diastatic activity (175.8o) > α-amylase activity (140.8o) > β-amylase activity (94.9o) > γ-amylase activity (49.6o). The α-amylase activity in yellow tigernut variety was 1.4-fold that of βamylase activity but about 1.5-fold in brown variety. However, α-amylase activity (dry basis) was about 3.5-fold that of γ-amylase in yellow variety but 2.8-fold in the brown variety. Extracts from both tigernut varieties also showed proteolytic and lipolytic activities at about 30°C. Evidently, tigernuts contain various endogenous hydrolytic enzymes and the sweetness of tigernut is invariably due to sugars produced from amylase hydrolysis of innate starch.
Simple HPLC-UV Method for Pharmacokinetic Studies of Imatinib in the Presence of Common Antimalaria Agents

Imatinib mesylate is currently the drug of choice for treatment of chronic myeloid leukaemia. There is great possibility of coadministration of this drug with antimalaria agents in malaria-endemic regions of the world. The need, therefore, arises to develop a sensitive, simple, and reliable HPLC method that could determine imatinib in human plasma in the presence of these common antimalaria agents. After protein precipitation with acetonitrile and centrifugation, the sample was subjected to isocratic elution on an Agilent Zorbax SB-Cyano column with a mobile phase consisting of methanol-phosphate buffer (0.1 M, adjusted to pH 3 with perchloric acid) (60:40%, v/v) at a flow rate of 1 ml/min and monitored at 267 nm. The method was found to be specific in determining imatinib in plasma in the presence of amodiaquine, chloroquine, proguanil, quinine, artesunate, artemether, and lumefantrine. The standard curve for imatinib was linear over the concentration range of 10–2000 ng/mL (r > 0.999) with improved recovery in the range of 96.5–98.5%. The inter- and intra-day precisions, expressed as % coefficient of variation (% CV), were lower than 10% in all the concentration levels tested, whereas assay accuracy was in the range of 97.26–109.3%. The method was used to estimate pharmacokinetic parameters of imatinib in three imatinib-naïve patients.
Long-COVID: An evolving problem with an extensive impact.

Persistence of symptoms or development of new symptoms relating to SARS-CoV-2 infection late in the course of COVID-19 is an increasingly recognised problem facing the globally infected population and its health systems. 'Long-COVID' or 'COVID long-haulers' generally describes those persons with COVID-19 who experience symptoms for >28 days after diagnosis, whether laboratory confirmed or clinical. Symptoms are as markedly heterogeneous as seen in acute COVID-19 and may be constant, fluctuate, or appear and be replaced by symptoms relating to other systems with varying frequency. Such multisystem involvement requires a holistic approach to management of long-COVID, and descriptions of cohorts from low- and middle-income countries are eagerly awaited. Although many persons with long-COVID will be managed in primary care, others will require greater input from rehabilitation medicine experts. For both eventualities, planning is urgently required to ensure that the South African public health service is ready and able to respond.
