Astrophysics without Black Holes, and without Extragalactic Gamma-Ray Bursts. Or: What have we learned from all our recent observations, including the G-W Receptions, FRBs, and the EHT-Map? Do they fit into a consistent Scenario?

In disagreement with a lot of recent literature, I shall argue that only at least two (extragalactic) gravitational-wave signals have so far been (strong enough to be) correctly interpreted, and evaluated as emitted by the merging of a binary neutron-star system. All (> seven) others were emitted too far from our Milky-Way Galaxy to be convincingly interpreted. No further comparably energetic source types are expected; in particular, Black Holes do not qualify. My conviction that Black Holes are inconsistent -- even with our human existence -- is detailed in section 2. In particular, in sections 3 and 4, I repeat my understanding of the (million of) `galactic rotational motions' as blown not by their central SMBH, but rather by their central Burning Disk (=: BD), a most powerful nuclear reactor. In section 5, I discuss a large number of errors which can crop up in the discussion of our observations unless they have been correctly interpreted via all the inorganic machines which are active around us, in our Universe. Finally, in section 6, I update my (almost universal) model of `stellar jets' to include `quasar jets', launched by their (massive) central BD.
The Interaction Effect of Auditor Industry Specialization and Ownership Concentration on Investment Efficiency: Evidence from Egyptian Stock Exchange

The paper examines the interaction effect of auditor industry specialization and ownership concentration on investment efficiency for a sample of firms listed on the Egyptian Stock Exchange during the period from 2011 through 2018. I predict that specialized auditors and ownership concentration have positive impact on investment efficiency. It's further predicted that specialized auditors moderate the relation between ownership concentration and investment efficiency. Results reveal that specialized auditors enhance investment efficiency, while ownership concentration adversely affects investment efficiency. Results fail to support any interaction effect between auditor industry specialization and ownership concentration.
Structural Analysis of a Freight Wagon with Composite Walls

The paper presents a numerical study regarding the mechanical response of the body of a freight wagon to the usual loads encountered during service. The main goal of the present research is to investigate the possibility to replace the steel walls of the wagon with walls made of laminated composites. In this way, the total mass of the wagon can be decreased, leaving room for supplementary load of goods. Finite element analyses of the wagon with steel walls is presented first, in order to show that most of the load is taken by the structure of the wagon, while the stresses in the walls are low. Further, composite plates with different thickness are studied to find the minimum value of thickness for which the displacements have values below a certain range. These thicknesses are further considered in the finite element analyses of the entire wagon with composite walls to investigate if the new walls significantly change the stresses in the vehicle structure. It was concluded that the replacement does not alter the stress state in the structure, and, consequently, it is a good solution for diminution of the total mass of the vehicle.

We prove that the isomorphism of scattered tree automatic linear orders as well as the existence of automorphisms of scattered word automatic linear orders are undecidable. For the existence of automatic automorphisms of word automatic linear orders, we determine the exact level of undecidability in the arithmetical hierarchy.
Assessing the Effect of Agree/Disagree Circles, Exit Ticket, and Think – Pair – Share on Students’ Academic Achievement at Undergraduate Level

The study was designed to determine the effect of assessment methods on students’ academic achievement in the course of Curriculum Development at undergraduate level in the University of the Punjab. Pre-test post-test quasi experimental design was used for the present study. The sample of the study consisted of 87 students who were present in two groups, later named as control group and experimental group. Intact groups were chosen for the study although treatment was randomly given to the groups. Experimental group was exposed to treatment while control group was assessed through conventional method. Data were collected through worksheets, class tests, pretest and post-test. The tests were developed in the light of basic rules/principles of test construction and Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives. Collected data were analyzed by using various statistical techniques such as independent samples t-test, dependent samples t-test and one way ANOVA. Results revealed that students who were exposed to the treatment achieved higher scores than those students who did not receive the treatment. The findings suggest that assessment methods used in this study significantly enhance the achievement of the students. All three assessment methods equally enhance students’ achievement. Think-Pair-Share was found the most effective and efficient method of assessment as compared to Agree/Disagree Circles and Exit Ticket. The findings of the study may be helpful for the students in a way to improve their learning as well as for the teachers to carry out effective instruction in the classroom. The study opens doors for innovations and intervention in the classrooms to use different assessment methods.
Pattern of adverse drug reaction in geriatric inpatients of medicine in a tertiary care center: a prospective observational study

Background: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) represent a major public health problem in older age. In order to better evaluate this problem, this study was designed to assess the prevalence and spectrum of ADRs in terms of frequency, type, severity and preventability in geriatric patients in medicine ward of Guru-Gobind Sing hospital, Jamnagar during 12 months study period. Methods: All ADR related patient’s necessary data was obtained and recorded on a predesigned case record form (CRF). The data record includes general details e.g., name, age, sex, past and present history, general and systemic examination, laboratory investigation, diagnosis and treatment. Details regarding suspected medications, treatment given, and the outcome were documented with prior permission of institutional ethics committee. Results: Demographic analysis of prospective study revealed that out of 84 patients, 45 male and 39 were female. The patients had developed ADR within the age ranges of 31 (65-69) followed by 23 (75-79). The majority of ADR was vomiting and diarrhea 15 followed by chills 08 and cough 04. It is evident that antimicrobials 31 agents were mainly suspected followed by NSAIDs 18. According to WHO-UMC scale, the possible cases had a higher incidence 63, followed by probable 19 and certain 2. After estimating the severity by Hartwigs scale 79.8% were mild to moderate while 20.23% were severe in nature. Conclusions: Age is not an independent risk factor of ADRs and suitable monitoring and regular medication review can reduce the incidence of ADRs in geriatric people.
Quality of life of patients with chronic kidney disease in two health facilities in Delta State, Nigeria

Purpose: To determine patients’ quality of life (QoL), impact of socio-demographic characteristics as well as biochemical parameters on the quality of life of chronic kidney disease patients. Methods: The study was a prospective, cross-sectional study carried out in the Renal Units of Central Hospital, Warri and Delta State University Teaching Hospital, Oghara, both in Nigeria. The quality of life of the patients was assessed using the generic core of Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form (KDQOL-SFTM) questionnaire. Data obtained were coded into the KDQOL--SFTM scoring program (version 1.3), while descriptive and inferential analyses were done using SPSS Results: Overall, the quality of life scores of patients with chronic kidney disease in both Physical and Mental Health components (PCS and MCS) was low. Respondents’ PCS scores in Central Hospital Warri was 31.08 ± 4.62 while that for respondents in DELSUTH was 31.75 ± 6.01, (p = 0.39). Similarly, the MCS score for respondents in Central Hospital Warri was 37.73 ± 3.37 while it was 37.68 ± 4.09 for DELSUTH (p = 0.94). These scores were lower than the standard norm, which is 50 There was no relationship between socio-demographic characteristics and the quality of life of the respondents in both health facilities. Serum creatinine and potassium showed a negative association with quality of life PCS (p = .025 and p = .006; 2-tailed), respectively. Conclusion: In general, the QoL of patients with chronic kidney disease in the two surveyed settings was low. None of the socio-demographic characteristics had a significant relationship with the QoL of the respondents in both health centres. There was a negative association between PCS score and both creatinine and potassium. Keywords: Quality of life (QoL), Patients, Chronic kidney disease, Creatinine, Potassium

Email: william@prmail.net Objective: Severe sepsis and Septic Shock may progress in the first hours after presentation and has been associated with an increased mortality. Prompt recognition and treatment of early septic shock (ESS) may improve survival. The purpose of our study was to describe the monitoring and management strategies of ESS, within Intensive Care Units (ICU) in Puerto Rico (PR). Methods: In order to achieve our objective, a self-administered survey, previously validated by the Canadian Critical Care Trials Group, was administered to 25 physicians during a Critical Care Medicine (CCM) Meeting. Questions about usual monitoring and resuscitation end-points were administered. Results: Most of the participants were affiliated to community hospitals (84%) and 92% were pulmonary or CCM specialists, with more than 15 years of working experience (80%). Monitoring devices and parameters mostly used by at least 85% of the respondents were: Oxygen Saturation, Foley catheters, Telemetry, Heart Rate, Blood Pressure, and Urinary Output. Intra-arterial lines and Central Venous Pressure were less used. Most use normal saline (96%), as the initial fluid of resuscitation. Only 24% would use inotropes to improve perfusion. Conclusions: Significant variability exists in the management of ESS among physicians in the ICU in PR. Compared to other studies, fewer physicians in PR use invasive monitoring techniques. These results highlight the need for quality education and training in CCM as well as continuing education in the field. [P R Health Sci J 2019;38:8-14]
Multiscale modelling of asphaltene disaggregation

Asphaltene aggregation reduces bitumen upgrading efficiency by increasing bitumen viscosity and coke formation. Our approach to model asphaltene aggregation involves geometry optimisation by using the Harris approximation implemented in DMol3, followed by a solvation calculation by using the three-dimensional molecular theory of solvation (a.k.a. 3D-RISM) we have developed recently [A. Kovalenko, Three-dimensional RISM theory for molecular liquids and solid–liquid interfaces, in Understanding Chemical Reactivity: Molecular Theory of Solvation, F. Hirata ed., Vol. 24, Kluwer Academic Publishers, New York, NY, 2003, pp. 169–275]. From the Harris approximation, we obtain the Hirshfeld and Mulliken asphaltene atomic charges. The 3D-RISM theory allows one to model solvation at given temperature, solvent density and solvent composition. The theory predicts solvation structure and thermodynamic characteristics, such as the potential of mean force (PMF). We investigate the effect of the Hirshfeld and Mulliken charge calculation methods on the PMF values for asphaltene disaggregation in quinoline and 1-methylnaphthalene solvents at 298 and 473 K. Our PMF results predict that asphaltene disaggregation is favoured in quinoline at 473 K, whereas in 1-methylnaphthalene the asphaltene aggregate would remain undisturbed. These results are in agreement with the experiment and correlate with the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation results [T. Takanohashi, S. Sato, and R. Tanaka, Structural relaxation behaviors of three different asphaltenes using MD calculations, Petr. Sci. Technol. 22 (2004), pp. 901–904]. The statistical–mechanical 3D-RISM method probes the entire phase space and yields the solvation structure and thermodynamics at a much lower computational cost than MD, and thus gives access to solvation processes that occur on large time and space scales.
The Determinants of a Mobile Wallet Intention among Employees of a Multinational Bank in Malaysia

With the rapid technological advancement in smartphone devices in recent years, the usage of mobile wallets has spread widely across the world. In Malaysia, however, despite a considerable gain in intention for mobile wallet usage, most people in Malaysia still rely on cash to carry out payments. There could be a good number of reasons as to why people are reluctant to use a mobile wallet, which include perceived ease of use, compatibility, perceived behavioural control, and trust. This research aims to provide information on the determinants of mobile wallet intention among the employees of a multinational bank. The purpose of this research is to determine the level of people’ awareness towards mobile wallet intentions and to investigate the relationship between perceived ease of use, compatibility, and trust with behavioural intention to use a mobile wallet. This research utilised questionnaires as the mechanism for collection of data. The data was collected and feasible at 80% out of 80 respondents, from a total population of 100 employees in a multinational bank. All the data collected was then analysed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) through which numerous tests were converged such as reliability test, normality test, frequency distribution descriptive analysis and multiple regression analysis. The results of this study show that all the variables have a significant value towards behavioural intention to use a mobile wallet, with trust as the most important factor that influences behavioural intention to use a mobile wallet.
Comparing reflective practices of pre-service teachers in Malaysia and Australia: A mixed-methods approach

The Malaysian and Australian education systems have centrally driven initiatives that promote teachers’ reflection on their educational practice. While focused on improving student learning outcomes, the role of teachers’ reflective thinking is contextualised differently in each country. This study investigates how pre-service teachers understand reflective thinking, and the degree to which the policies and procedures in the different educational jurisdictions influence this. Using a mixed methods approach, this study examines the contributions of lifelong learning skills, self-assessment ability, self-belief, teaching awareness and reflective thinking skills in explaining the similarities and differences in reflective thinking practices among pre-service teachers in Malaysia and Australia. We found that while the policy and procedures of the different jurisdictions had some influence, the underpinning educational philosophies and cultural values were more strongly implicated.

The crystal structure of one, bis[2-(2-selenidophenyl)iminomethylphenoxo]tin(IV), was determined. The tin atom has octahedral co-ordination geometry with facial ligand occupancy. The Sn–N, Sn–O and Sn–Se bond lengths are 2.23(1), 2.04(1) and 2.558(2)A respectively.
I will never forget what he looks like : an exploratory study on the correlation between the reliability of eyewitness identification evidence in criminal cases and miscarriages of justice

The aim of this thesis was to collect and analyse information concerning the reliability of eyewitness identifications and eyewitness testimonies as evidence. This topic has been thoroughly researched by psychologists and criminologists in the past. The current study, however, critically evaluated how reliable eyewitness identification evidence is. In particular, evidence on which factors might contribute to increase the reliability was examined. Eyewitness evidence play a vital role in any police investigation. To be able to find out what a witness saw or who it saw will highly benefit the investigative process. With this in mind, the main focus of this research was to enhance understanding of the challenges faced by the criminal justice system when it comes to eyewitness evidence. Not least, this was addressed by examining to what extent complications with eyewitness identifications contribute to miscarriages of justice and wrongful convictions. The existing academic literature on miscarriages of justice revealed that mistaken eyewitness identifications have been a significant contributor to miscarriages of justice in past cases. The key findings of the research suggest that eyewitnesses are not as reliable as police, jurors and the general public may think and eyewitness identifications do tend to lead to wrongful convictions. Likely contributing factors to less reliable eyewitness identification evidence were identified as being police procedures, memory fallacies, eyewitness confidence and the public s trust in eyewitness testimonies. These factors should be acknowledged when training police officers, judges and jurors in order to help them to evaluate the reliability of eyewitness testimonies and identifications. On this basis, it seems important to educate the public, jurors and the police about the issues involving the reliability of eyewitness identification evidence. Further research would be needed to identify the benefits of doing so.

A Mobile Serious Game About the Pandemic (COVID-19 - Did You Know?): Design and Evaluation Study

Background No treatment for COVID-19 is yet available; therefore, providing access to information about SARS-CoV-2, the transmission route of the virus, and ways to prevent the spread of infection is a critical sanitary measure worldwide. Serious games have advantages in the dissemination of reliable information during the pandemic; they can provide qualified content while offering interactivity to the user, and they have great reach over the internet. Objective This study aimed to develop a serious game with the purpose of providing science-based information on the prevention of COVID-19 and personal care during the pandemic while assessing players’ knowledge about COVID-19–related topics. Methods The study was conducted with the interdisciplinary collaboration of specialists in health sciences, computing, and design at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The health recommendations were grouped into six thematic blocks, presented in a quiz format. The software languages were based on the progressive web app development methodology with the Ionic framework, JavaScript, HTML5, cascading style sheets, and TypeScript (Angular). Open data reports of how users interact with the serious game were obtained using the Google Analytics application programming interface. The visual identity, logo, infographics, and icons were carefully developed by considering a selection of colors, typography, sounds, and images that are suitable for young audiences. Cards with cartoon characters were introduced at the end of each thematic topic to interact with the player, reinforcing their correct answers or alerting them to the need to learn more about the disease. The players’ performance was assessed by the rate of incorrect and correct answers and analyzed by linear correlation coefficient over 7 weeks. The agile SCRUM development methodology enabled quick and daily interactions of developers through a webchat and sequential team meetings. Results The game “COVID-19–Did You Know? ” was made available for free on a public university website on April 1, 2020. The game had been accessed 17,571 times as of September 2020. Dissemination actions such as reports on social media and television showed a temporal correspondence with the access number. The players’ error rate in the topic “Mask” showed a negative trend (r=–.83; P=.01) over the weeks of follow-up. The other topics showed no significant trend over the weeks. Conclusions The gamification strategy for health education content on the theme of COVID-19 reached a young audience, which is considered to be a priority in the strategy of orientation toward social distancing. Specific educational reinforcement measures were proposed and implemented based on the players’ performance. The improvement in the users’ performance on the topic about the use of masks may reflect an increase in information about or adherence to mask use over time.
