The Effects of Supplementing Whole Milk with Juniper (Juniperus oxycedrus) Aromatic Water on Growth and General Health Parameters of Holstein Calves

In newborn calves, resistance to diseases is low due to insufficient immune system. Antibiotic treatments applied during this period reduce the numbers of pathogens and also non-pathogenic bacteria. This causes the growth to stop or decline in the early period and therefore it causes economic losses (Soltan, 2009). The restriction and/or prohibition of the use of antibiotics in livestock have increased the interest in medicinal aromatic plants in recent years (Anadon, 2006). The juniper, which is the subject of our study, has an important place in medicine manufacturing industry in Europe and many countries of the world because of its pharmacological properties medicine, due to and the extractive substances it contains. The juniper has been used as wood and material for making medicine from its fruits and leaves for many years in Anatolian geography as well as over the world. Medicines have been prepared from fruits and leaves for curing pain, cough, rheumatism, tuberculosis and it has also been used as antibacterial (Tumen and Hafizoglu, 2003). It has been determined that the JOW has selective antibacterial properties, also show antioxidant and iron-reducing properties depending on the concentration used (Isik et al., 2020). There are a few studies on the use of aromatic waters, a by-product of extracting plant extracts, in animal nutrition and breeding and their health effects. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of aromatic water, which is produced as a by-product and has no economic value, on the healthy growth of calves while extracting oil from juniper (Juniperus oxycedrus) fruits and leaves.
Assets Growth, Earnings Persistence, Investment Opportunity Setand Earnings Management on Dividend Policy and Firm Value (Study at Bank Companies in Indonesia)

The purpose of this study was to test the effect empirically the influence of growth and earnings management on dividend payment policies and company value in as many as 40 banking companies listed on the Indonesian stock exchange in 2015-2019. The research method is explanatory research with secondary data, based on documentation data, data processing using the Structural Equation Model test. The results showed that asset growth had a negative and insignificant effect on dividends, persistence had no significant negative effect on dividends, investment opportunity set had a significant positive effect on dividends, earning management had a positive and insignificant effect on dividends, asset growth had no significant negative effect on the value company, dividends had a significant positive effect on firm value. Persistence has no significant positive effect on firm value. Investment opportunity set has a positive and insignificant effect on firm value, and earning management had a significant positive effect on firm value.
Barriers to Leading Small Groups among Generation Z and Younger Millennials: An Exploratory Factor Analysis and Implications for Recruitment and Training

Small groups are an essential aspect of contemporary churches, playing an important role in community building, support, spiritual formation, and accountability. However, their number and impact are often limited due to a lack of people willing to lead a small group, a problem faced by each new generation. This exploratory study of 217 young adults in church small groups (median age = 24.0 years), including both leaders and non-leaders of small groups, examines potential barriers to small group leadership. An exploratory factor analysis found six barriers: Desire to lead a small group, Skills in group dynamics, Desire to positively influence others, Social support, Biblical foundations, and Stability. The hypothesis that some barriers would be greater than others was supported: Stability and Desire to lead a small group were the greatest barriers whereas Desire to positively influence others was the lowest. The hypothesis that these barriers would be greater for non-leaders of small groups than for leaders of small groups was supported for all six barriers. The difference between leaders and non-leaders was largest for Desire to lead a small group, Skills in group dynamics, Social support, and especially Biblical foundations. These results lead to important insights for recruiting and training Generation Z and younger Millennials to be small group leaders.

Scale-Up Study on the Performance of Annular Pulsed Disc-and-Doughnut Columns

ABSTRACT Based on the previous work of the hydraulic, axial mixing, and mass-transfer performance of an annular pulsed disc-and-doughnut column (APDDC), the effects of scaling-up on its performance were studied in APDDCs with different annular space widths. The effect of scaling-up on holdup was discussed, and a more universal correlation was established. The effect of scaling-up on the Sauter drop diameter could be expressed by the previous obtained correlation. The effects of scaling-up on both the flooding holdup and throughput were mainly reflected in the correlation of the Sauter drop diameter. The equations of operating regimes were also independent of the scaling-up effect as demonstrated by experimental data. The scaling-up effects on the axial-dispersion coefficient of the continuous phase, the mass-transfer coefficient, and the height of a transfer unit were also discussed.
Self-regulation as a Mediator of Mindfulness and Physical Activity: A Narrative Review

Mindfulness is gaining increased attention as a means of increasing physical activity (PA) participation. Given that only 15.4% of adult Canadians currently meet the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines (Colley et al., 2011), it is imperative to find ways to increase PA among adults. One way to do this is to promote self-regulation skills as self-regulation is among the top predictors of PA participation (Teixeira et al., 2015). The purpose of this narrative review was to further understand the role of self-regulation as a potential mechanism by which mindfulness may be related to PA participation. Initially, 160 papers were identified by title for this review. After reading abstracts, 37 papers were identified as possibly relating to the topic of interest. Following full readings, 26 papers were included in the final review. Likely due to the novelty of this topic, there is limited research on the mechanisms by which mindfulness may be related to physical activity. Review of the literature suggests that self-regulation appears to be a promising mechanism by which mindfulness could improve physical activity participation (Shapiro et al., 2006; Samdal et al., 2017), as self-regulation has been shown to play an important role in behaviour change, however, other alternative mechanisms include improved self-efficacy, as well as improved satisfaction (Neace et al., 2020; Tsafou et al., 2016). The authors conclude that more research on the mechanisms of mindfulness on PA, specifically self-regulation as a mechanism, could foster more knowledgeable intervention practices, and consequently improve mindfulness-based interventions efficacy.
Photo-Detectors Based on Two Dimensional Materials

2D materials like transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorous, silicene, graphene are at the forefront of being the most potent 2D materials for optoelectronic applications because of their exceptional properties. Several application-specific photodetectors based on 2D materials have been designed and manufactured due to a wide range and layer-dependent bandgaps. Different 2D materials stacked together give rise to many surprising electronic and optoelectronic phenomena of the junctions based on 2D materials. This has resulted in a lot of popularity of 2D heterostructures as compared to the original 2D materials. This chapter presents the progress of optoelectronic devices (photodetectors) based on 2D materials and their heterostructures.
Learning Styles: An Overview

Learning styles aim to know variations in individuals’ learning. As per most of the theories, humans may be classified in line with their‘style’of learning. The term “learning styles” speaks to the understanding that each student learns uniquely. Learning is a vital experience for individuals of all ages. Based on Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences, there are eight varieties of learning styles that everybody falls into which include visual, aural, verbal, physical, logical, social, solitary and naturalistic learning. Learning style inventories are designed to assist respondents verify learning style they have. These inventories usually take the form of a questionnaire that focuses on how folks prefer to learn. Learning style inventories are based on the thought that individuals have completely different strengths and preferences when it involves learning. Learning style inventories remain a preferred classroom tool despite the actual fact that research has found very little proof that matching a student’s learning preferences to instructional methods produces better educational outcomes. These are a few popular types of learning style inventories such as Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory (LSI), Fleming’s VARK Learning Style Questionnaire, Jackson’s Learning Styles Profiler (LSP), Learning Style Quizzes.In short, it is important to remember that there are a number of learning styles and learning style inventories. Each learning style has its own advantages and disadvantages. Knowing your learning style is not meant to limit you, instead to expand you – by helping you to learn, understand, work and live more efficiently.
The Effect of Fox News Channel on U.S. Elections: 2000-2020

This paper provides a comprehensive assessment of the effect of Fox News Channel (FNC) on elections in the United States. FNC is the highest-rated channel on cable television and has a documented conservative slant. We show that FNC has helped Republican candidates in elections across levels of U.S. government over the past decade. A one standard deviation decrease in FNC’s channel position boosted Republican vote shares by at least . 5 percentage points in recent presidential, Senate, House and gubernato- rial elections. The effects of FNC increased steadily between 2004 and 2016 and then plateaued. Survey-based evidence suggests that FNC affects elections by shifting the political preferences of Americans to the right. Overall, the findings suggest that FNC has contributed to the nationalization of United States elections.
Deep Dive Identification and Evaluation of Critical Factors Responsible for Poor Routine Immunization Uptake in Oyo State

The uptake of Routine immunization services continues to decline in Oyo State despite best efforts to improve Routine Immunization (RI) services. This study aims to investigate the root cause of poor routine immunization uptake in the State using Ibadan north and Kajola Local Government Areas (LGAs) as sentinel study sites in Oyo state, Nigeria. A cross-sectional Community survey was conducted between 26th-30th November 2018 using structured questionnaires uploaded onto Open Data Kit-collect (ODK) mobile software in the 2 LGAs namely Kajola and Ibadan North LGAs, Oyo state. Majority of the respondents Local Immunization Officers, RI Focal Persons, Other Health Workers and Community Members were fully aware of RI services, its benefits/importance and were mostly satisfied with the services they received at their community health facility. However, 95% of the respondents stated that they were not part of the RI planning processes in their communities neither were they actively involved in selecting the date, time or venue for RI in their communities. Also 76% of the respondents stated that Health workers neither rescheduled RI sessions for missed children neither did they visit /track the missed children. Functional Village Development Committees (VDCs) and updated Reaching Every Ward (REW) micro-plan was not present in 67% and 62% of the visited facilities respectively. World Health Organization (WHO) was mostly responsible for funding of immunization activities. Funding and poor engagement with members of the communities have been discovered to be a major contributing factor to poor immunization uptake in these LGAs. We advise that this gap be bridged for the purposes of improved RI uptake in the state.
Mathematical Modeling of Thin Layer Drying Kinetics of Tomato Influence of Air Dryer Conditions

Thin-layer drying kinetics of Tomato was experimentally investigated in a pilot scale convective dryer. Experiments were performed at air temperatures of 40, 60, and 80°C and at three relative humidity of 20%, 40% and 60% and constant air velocity of 2 m/s. In order to select a suitable form of the drying curve, 9 different thin layer drying models were fitted to experimental data. The high values of coefficient of determination and the low values of reduced sum square errors and root mean square error indicated that the Midilli et al. model could satisfactorily illustrate the drying curve of tomato. the Midilli et al. model had the highest value of R 2 (0.9997), the lowest SSE (0.22662) and RMSE (0.0040912) for relative humidity of 20% and air velocity of 2 m/s. the Midilli et al. model had the highest value of R 2 (0.99946), the lowest SSE (0.46702) and RMSE (0.0051192) for relative humidity of 40% and air velocity of 2 m/s. the Midilli et al. model had the highest value of R 2 (0.99952), the lowest SSE (0.438982) and RMSE (0.0050188) for relative humidity of 60% and air velocity of 2 m/s. The Midilli et al. model was found to satisfactorily describe the drying behavior of tomato.
The Restorativeness of Outdoor Historical Sites in Urban Areas: Physical and Perceptual Correlations

Growing tourist flows, which crowd ancient city centres, have modified their liveability and threatened conservation. They have increased the need for quiet places, primarily where green parks are missing. While previous studies have highlighted the possibility of reusing hidden sites of historical buildings, it is not clear if this scheme can also be applied in other contexts, and which physical or perceptual dimensions are mainly related to the restoration of these sites. If greenery and water elements induce positive effects on people’s well-being, we want to understand if the historical–artistic component can be just as important for people’s restorativeness. To this end, the physical and perceptual characteristics of 20 different sites in Naples and Istanbul were investigated through objective and subjective surveys. The results show that the sound levels inside sites cannot consistently account for the perception of the restorativeness in Italy and Turkey, while some sound level differences caused by outside noise could. Moreover, soundscape, appreciation, maintenance/management, and importance/relevance were the main perceptual dimensions describing these places. The importance/relevance dimension was strongly correlated with all the components of the restorativeness, especially with the fascination. These findings are consistent between the Italian and Turkish groups.
Is Lombok Really Perceived as Halal Tourism Destination? A Study of Tourist Satisfaction and Loyalty

Indonesia could take advantage of being the largest Muslim country in the world by creating an attractive value proposition as a halal tourism destination. This study aims to determine the effect of how the Islamic attributes of estimation is perceived by Muslim travellers and how such a perception influenced tourist satisfaction and destination loyalty. Lombok was selected as a study object since its appointment as Indonesia’s halal tourism destination. A survey was completed to 130 respondents who had visited Lombok. Using a structural equation modelling, the main results indicated that: 1) worship facilities; 2) halalness; 3) alcohol and gambling free; and 4) general Islamic morality, as four formative dimensions of Islamic attributes of destination. These four sub-dimensions were perceived as underlying factors to affect tourist satisfaction and destination loyalty. Tourist satisfaction plays as a full mediating variable of how Islamic attributes of destination influenced tourists’ destination loyalty. These findings advance our understanding of how Moslem domestic tourists perceived the provision of Islamic attributes in a halal tourism destination and how it could trigger their behavioural intention in the future.
Make Tweets Great Again: Who Are Opinion Leaders, and What Did They Tweet About Donald Trump?

Twitter gained new levels of political prominence with Donald J. Trump’s use of the platform. Although previous work has been done studying the content of Trump’s tweets, there remains a dearth of research exploring who opinion leaders were in the early days of his presidency and what they were tweeting about. Therefore, this study retroactively investigates opinion leaders on Twitter during Trump’s 1st month in office and explores what those influencers tweeted about. We uniquely used a historical data set of 3 million tweets that contained the word “trump” and used Latent Dirichlet Allocation, a probabilistic algorithmic model, to extract topics from both general Twitter users and opinion leaders. Opinion leaders were identified by measuring eigenvector centrality and removing users with fewer than 10,000 followers. The top 1% users with the highest score in eigencentrality (N = 303) were sampled, and their attributes were manually coded. We found that most Twitter-based opinion leaders are either media outlets/journalists with a left-center bias or social bots. Immigration was found to be a key topic during our study period. Our empirical evidence underscores the influence of bots on social media even after the 2016 U.S. presidential election, providing further context to ongoing revelations and disclosures about influence operations during that election. Furthermore, our results provide evidence of the continued relevance of established, “traditional” media sources on Twitter as opinion leaders.
Clonal Relationship within Two Oral Actinomyces Populations Collected from Plaque of Periodontitis Patients

Actinomyces naeslundii and A. oris are dental plaque formers involved in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. The aim of the study was to investigate the clonal relationship within two oral Actinomyces populations collected from plaque of patients with chronic periodontitis. The 223 clinical strains of A. naeslundii and A. oris were isolated from biofilm samples collected supra and subgingivally from teeth with shallow (probing depth (PD) = 3-4 mm), deep (PD = 5-6 mm) and very deep (PD ≥7 mm) pockets from 20 chronic periodontitis patients. All strains were submitted to repetitive sequence-based PCR typing using DiversiLab (BioMerieux,Marcy l´Étoile, France). Seven patients harboured only unrelated (<95% similarity) multiple isolates, while 13 harboured both similar (>95% similarity) and unrelated isolates at different sites. Identical (>98% similarity) strains were found to be present in the subgingival shallow depths more often than in the other subgingival depths. The number of clones in individual patients varied from 2 to 17 different rep-PCR genotypes. The clonal relationship within the oral populations of A. naeslundii and A. oris in an individual was unpredictable, ranging from the presence of multiple genotypes with no clonal similarity to only two different clones supra or subgingivally at different sites.
Age Estimation Using the Radiographic Visibility of the Periodontal Ligament in Mandibular Third Molars in Mysore Population- A Retrospective Study

Objectives: This study was conducted to assess the reliability of age estimation using the radiographic visibility of periodontal ligament surrounding the roots of completely erupted mandibular 3rd molar.Materials and methods:Visibility ofperiodontal ligament was assessed in completely erupted mandibular third molars, in a sample of 135 panoramic radiographs, of which 55 belonging to females and 80 to males, from a Mysore population aged 18to 32 years. A classification of four stages based on the visual phenomenon of disappearance of the periodontal ligament of fully mineralized third molars was used. For each stage, mean, standard deviation, minimal & maximal age were assessed.Results:The relationship between age and stage of periodontal ligament had a statistical significance for both sexes.In this population, stage 1 can be used for predictability of age above 19 years and stage 3 for predictability of age above 23 years. No significant correlation exists between periodontal ligament visibility and gender of the individual.Conclusion:Thistechnique is advocated for determining age above 19 years as it is a relatively simple and reliable method. Differences exist in different ethnicities demanding specific population standards.
