Work-Family Conflict and Innovative Teaching Among Indonesian Teachers: The Mediating Role of Organizational Commitment

This research sought to examine the relationship between work-family conflict, organizational commitment, and innovative teaching skills among Indonesian teachers. At the same time, few studies use job stressors such as work-family conflict as a predictor of innovative teaching skills. This study also presents an organizational commitment in getting a deeper understanding of the research model. Method: This research utilized PLS-SEM to examine the research model on 273 senior high school teachers as research participants. Result: The result shows that work-family conflict negatively affects innovative teaching and organizational commitment. Meanwhile, organizational commitment positively affects innovative teaching. Furthermore, organizational commitment plays a mediating variable in the link between work-family conflict and innovative teaching. Novelty: This study will enrich our understanding regarding the predictor of innovative teaching among Indonesian teachers through another standpoint, the job stressors in the form of work-family conflict. This study also presents an organizational commitment to give a deeper understanding on how the mechanism of work-family conflict affects the innovative teaching skills of the teacher.
The Southern polar giant impact hypothesis for the origin of the Martian dichotomy and the evolution of volcanism on mars

We demonstrate via numerical simulations that the impact of a ~ lunar-sized body with Mars is capable of creating a hemispherical magma ocean that upon cooling and solidification resulted in the formation of the southern highlands and thus the Martian dichotomy. The giant impact may have contributed a significant amount of iron to the Martian core and generated a deep thermal anomaly that led to the onset and development of the volcanism in the southern highlands. Our model predicts several mantle plumes converging to the South Pole from the equatorial regions as well as new plumes forming in the equatorial region and also an absence of significant large-scale volcanism in the northern lowlands. The core heat flux evolution obtained from our numerical models is consistent with the decline of the magnetic field. We argue that such a scenario is more consistent with a range of observations than a northern giant impact (excavating the Borealis basin) for the formation of the Martian dichotomy. 1 Movies and supplementary material are available at the following website: http://onlinelibrary.wiley. com/doi/10.1002/2014GL062261/abstract
Historical thinking in a digital environment: Swedish history teaching analysed through a TPACK lens

This paper presents results from a large-scale study of history teachers in Swedish secondary schools. The study examines perceptions of history, content being taught, teaching methods and use of digital technology. The study uses the Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework to analyse the results together with narrative theory. The main results indicate that knowledge of the past and contemporary perspectives from a canonical tradition are prioritised, together with a content-based lecture-style pedagogy. The use of digital technology does not seem to challenge methods or bring new perspectives to history teaching. However, to fully understand history teaching with technology, a framework that emphasises all parts of history education is needed. This calls for further development of the TPACK model, which is further discussed in this article.
The Effect of Stokes Drift and Transient Rip Currents on the Inner Shelf . Part I : No Stratification

This is part one of a two-part study focused on Stokes drift and transient rip current (TRC) effects on the unstratified (this paper) and stratified (see Part II) inner shelf. A TRC-generating, wave-resolving model funwaveC is coupled to the 3D, wave-averaged wave and circulation model Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere– Wave–Sediment Transport (COAWST). Two simulations (R1 andR2) are performed on an unstratified inner shelf and surfzone with typical bathymetry and wave conditions. R1 is a COAWST-only simulation (no TRCs), while R2 has funwaveC–COAWST coupling (with TRCs). R2 and funwaveC vertical vorticity (eddy) statistics are similar, indicating that themodel coupling accurately generates TRCs, with TRC-induced eddies out to four surfzone widths offshore. R1 has a two-layered, inner-shelf-to-surfzone-connected, mean Lagrangian circulation, while R2 has separate inner shelf and surfzone circulation cells. The R2, TRC-induced, cross-shore and vertical eddy velocities are stronger than the R1 or R2 mean Lagrangian velocity out to four surfzone widths offshore. The R2, inner-shelf, mean, vertical eddy diffusivity is an order of magnitude larger than R1 out to four surfzone widths offshore. Both R1 and R2 are in a Stokes–Coriolis balance at six surfzone widths offshore, as is R1 at three surfzone widths offshore. For R2, TRC-induced horizontal advection and vertical mixing dominate the cross-shore momentum dynamics at three surfzone widths offshore. The R2 surfzone and inner-shelf cross-shore exchange velocity is 2–10 times larger for R1 because of the TRC-induced stirring. Accurate, unstratified, inner-shelf simulations of pollution, larval, or sediment transport must include transient rip currents. In Part II, the effects of Stokes drift and TRCs on the stratified inner shelf are examined.
Chief Executive Officer Political Connection and Firms' Investment Horizon: Evidence from Tunisian Firms

Background and Objective: The impact of political relationships on corporate behavior is very important for an organisation. Hence, the objective of this paper was to examine the impact of political connections on investment decisions, specifically the investment horizon of Tunisian firms. Materials and Methods: During the period 2015-2020, this research was conducted with 27 Tunisian listed firms. The methodology used for this work was a positive approach built on a hypothetical-deductive methodology. After reviewing the current theory, some hypotheses were developed and submitted to empirical tests. Binary logistic regression on the different variables was chosen to explain the impact of the political connection on the investment horizon. Results: The politically connected Tunisian companies have a positive and significant impact on the investment horizon and encourage long-term investment. This relationship was confirmed during this period, which was marked by serious events such as the health crisis and political unrest. Conclusion: The political entities on which this study is based belonged to the former regime, its allies and close associates. The loss of the advantages obtained under the old regime is therefore obvious. For companies, turning to long-term investments is the best way to benefit from the future and to have sustainability.
An assessment of map validation techniques : a case study using a vegetation map of Litchfield National Park, Northern Territory, Australia

Litchfield National Park required a vegetation habitat map to undertake informed conservation management. The Northern Territory Government Department of Land Resource Management were commissioned to derive this map in a short timeframe that did not enable validation of the results. Good vegetation mapping procedure requires validation to inform the users of the map’s inherent errors. This can be done with field reference data by statistical analysis using a standard error matrix and Kappa analysis. The user’s and producer’s accuracy derived through the error matrix enables the users of the map to assess the individual vegetation class accuracy. However, the field sampling and data recording methods, although widely used, are not fully standardised. Therefore, this research undertook an accuracy assessment of the Litchfield vegetation map to test the appropriateness of various field sampling techniques for reference data collection. This included the comparison of stratified versus stratified-random sampling and the comparison of vegetation classification on-site versus post-field photo interpretation. Two complete field datasets of 12 different vegetation classes were collected through air survey. All site classifications were calibrated based on the field photos, observations, imagery and landscape context. Subsequently, these datasets were used to create error matrices and conduct statistical analysis that assessed the accuracy of the map and the sampling and classification strategies. The overall accuracy of the Litchfield vegetation map was “moderate” (~60%). The vegetation types of lowland woodland, alluvial grassland, riparian and sandstone woodland were the most accurately mapped. The sampling methods comparison (Z statistic) showed that there was no significant difference in the error matrices generated from each sampling strategy, so it can be concluded that both methods were effective for collecting the reference data. When the Litchfield vegetation map was reclassified into 4 simple classes based on vegetation structure or management units, the overall accuracy of the mapping was much higher (72 – 80%), however still included misclassifications that would result in erroneous management. The field photo data recording type was more accurate (87%) compared to the on-site observation method (79%) for generating reference data for map validation. Both reference data collection strategies, random stratified and systematic stratified, were equally suitable for providing data for the map accuracy assessment. This means that the easier, less costly approach can be used, in this case the easiest and cheapest strategy was random transect - stratified interval sampling.
Implementation of Hand Tractor Control Device Remotely Using Flysky Fs-I6 Remote Control

– Hand tractors are agricultural tools used to minimize the use of human labor, so as to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the process of plowing rice fields. The use of hand tractors for cultivating agricultural land still causes several problems such as work fatigue and ergonomic problems for operators which can result in accidents while working. From this problem the author had the idea to build a tool that could be installed on a hand tractor so that the hand tractor could be controlled remotely using a remote control. In the hardware section, the main control uses an atmega328 microcontroller on the Arduino nano board, a Flysky FS-i6 remote control as input for sending remote commands, a servo motor as an output for the gas mechanical drive on the tractor, a power window that pulls the tractor clutch to turn right and left, the panel solar for battery charging. Based on the results of tool testing, tool performance testing was carried out at a distance of 1 to 100 meters. At this distance, the tool worked well and no errors occurred. The area of one rice field ranges from 10 x 10 meters to 50 x 50 meters, so that remote hand tractor control equipment can be used and there will be no errors even over long distances. This shows that this tool has been successful and the tractor can be controlled remotely.
Bidisperse micro fluidized beds: Effect of bed inclination on mixing

Micro fluidized beds are basically suspensions of solid particles by an ascending fluid in a millimeter-scale tube, with applications in chemical and pharmaceutical processes involving powders. Although in many applications beds are polydisperse, previous works considered only monodisperse beds aligned in the vertical direction. However, introducing an inclination with respect to gravity leads to different bed patterns and mixing levels, which can be beneficial for some applications. In this paper, we investigate experimentally the behavior of micro gas–solid beds consisting of bidisperse mixtures under different inclinations. In our experiments, mono- and bidisperse beds are filmed with a high-speed camera, and the images are processed for obtaining measurements at both the bed and grain scales. We show that the degree of segregation is larger for vertical beds, but mixing varies non-monotonically with inclination, with an optimal angle of 30°–50° with respect to gravity. By computing the mean and fluctuation velocities of grains, we reveal that the mixing layer results from the competition between segregation by kinetic sieving and circulation promoted by the fluid flow. We also observe worse fluidization as the angle relative to gravity increases, accounting then for the non-monotonic behavior. Our results bring new insights into mixing and segregation in polydisperse beds, which can be explored for processing powders in industry.

An Anti-Jamming High-Temperature Sensor Based on Optical Fiber In-Line Mach–Zehnder Interferometer Structure

In this article, an anti-jamming high-temperature sensor up to 1000 °C based on optical fiber in-line Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) structure fabricated by cutting and splicing single-mode fiber (SMF), multimode fiber (MMF), and suspended core fiber (SCF) consisting of pure silica material to a sandwich-like compact structure under optimized discharge parameters is proposed. The MMFs function as a light coupler and the silica core modes and the air cladding modes are excited to interference. A temperature response of 45.75 pm/°C is achieved, due to the significant thermo-optic coefficient exhibited by these two modes, while maintaining a high linearity of 0.99867. In addition, an investigation reveals a maximum temperature fluctuation of 2.56 °C at 1000 °C and a maximum hysteresis error within 0.225 nm. Furthermore, the proposed structure demonstrates exceptional resistance to interference from bending, strain, fluctuations in external refractive index (RI), and vibration. This proposed sensor showcases outstanding anti-jamming capabilities, along with high repeatability and stability, positioning it as an excellent alternative for measuring high temperatures in harsh environments.
Structural analysis and insight into novel MMP-13 inhibitors from natural chemiome as disease-modifying osteoarthritis drugs

Purpose: To identify natural chemiome that inhibits matrix-metalloproteinases (MMPs) with a view to discovering novel disease-modifying osteoarthritis drugs (DMOADs). Methods: Computer-aided drug design (CADD) with virtual screening, ADME/Tox, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation, and MM-PBSA calculations were used in search of novel natural compounds that inhibit MMPs. Results: From more than fifty thousand compounds, a single lead compound (IBS ID: 77312) was shortlisted using bias based on binding energy and drug-likeness. This lead compound synergistically bound to the S1 domain of MMP-13 protein through five hydrogen bonds. The interactions became stable within 100-nanosecond molecular dynamics simulation run. The in vitro data for the lead compound showed that its minimal non-lethal dose increased collagen content but decreased aggrecan level in chondrocytes. Conclusion: This study has identified a natural lead compound that may pave the way for a novel DMOAD of natural origin against OA. Keywords: Osteoarthritis, MMP-13, Natural chemiome, Disease-modifying osteoarthritis drug, Molecular docking
Evaluating resilience in two remote indigenous Australian communities

While the occurrence of extreme events generally cannot be prevented, their negative effects can be lessened by reducing risks and improving the capacity of people and communities to deal with them. Improving community resilience helps reduce the effects of natural hazards and is increasingly becoming a goal of communities, organisations and governments. To meaningfully determine, coordinate, plan and prioritise the most effective measures to improve resilience, a baseline assessment of a community's strengths and weaknesses is required. This paper quantitatively assesses the status of community resilience in two remote indigenous communities, Ngukurr and Gunbalanya in the Northern Territory. A quantitative assessment is used to explore community perceptions of disaster resilience within the study areas as well as the methods of assessment and appropriateness of the assessment methodology. - See more at: https://ajem.infoservices. com.au/items/AJEM-31-04-15#sthash.rDNwkZoA. dpuf
Assessment of Land Degradation at Velezizweni, Swaziland

The objective of the research was to determine the status of land degradation and its implications for Velezizweni community, an area situated in the Highveld of Swaziland. Landsat ETM digital data taken on December 2009 was used to classify the land into different land cover categories. A questionnaire was developed and administered to 190 homesteads to solicit information on perception of land degradation from land users. About 19% of the area was classified as eroded, with about 45% classified as having poor vegetation cover. Land degradation was perceived as a serious problem by 81 and 90% of the respondents on cropping land and communal grazing land respectively. Invasion of alien plant species (Chromoleana odorata and Acacia pycnatha) was a serious problem, reducing the carrying capacity of grazing land. The results demonstrated that degradation was a serious problem despite the community being involved in some sustainable land management practises which included application of kraal manure to crops, ploughing across the slopes and keeping grass filter strips between cultivated lands.
Assessment of Quality Attributes and Storage Stability of Probiotic Yoghurt Enriched with Celery (Apium graveolens L.) and Dill (Anethum graveolens L.)

Plant - based probiotic products have received much attention for functional foods with health benefits and improved functionality. Celery ( Apium graveolens L.) and dill ( Anethum graveolens L. ) are important medicinal plants that can be used in the food industry. The present work aims to produce set yoghurt with functional properties by using probiotic bacteria supplemented with celery extract or dill extract (0, 1, 2, and 3%, w/w ) and study the quality attributes and storage stability of this type of yoghurt. The resultant yoghurt treatments were examined for their physicochemical, microbiological, rheological, textural, and organoleptic characteristics. Phenoles and antioxidant activity were also detected. Results showed that total solids, protein, fat, and ash were higher in treatment compared with control. Additions of celery or dill extracts with different concentrations significantly increased the titratable acidity, acetaldehyde and diacetyl and also increased the amount of viscosity, and water holding capacity (WHC). Celery and dill contain higher amount of minerals than control such as calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, and zinc. As the level of this extracts increased, hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess, and chewiness significantly improved. Due to the stimulatory effect of celery and dill extracts, the viability of Bifidobacterium bifidum , Streptococcus thermophilus and lactic acid bacteria increase. The addition of herbal extracts enhance the body and texture. Treatment with 2% of celery extract gained the best flavor score (96.29 point), followed by treatment with 2% of dill extract
Translation and Standardization of Emotional Abuse Questionnaire (EAQ)

The present study aimed to translate and standardize the Emotional Abuse Questionnaire (EAQ). This research was completed in two phases. The objective of Phase 1 was to translate the scale into Urdu using the standard back-translation procedure. The purpose of Phase 2 was to standardize the Urdu version of EAQ. Purposive sampling technique was used to collect data from 250 participants (girls and boys) with age range of 12 to 18 years from educational institutions. A set of descriptive analyses was used to organize and summarize data. The internal consistency of the translated scale was 0.89 and the test retest reliability was 0.96. The scale’s construct validity was established through exploratory factor analysis. Six factors were loaded whose eigen value was greater than 1 and the total variance of these factors was 70.77. The convergent validity of the scale was 0.85. All the results were statistically significant
Opioid Use Disorder Treatment Linkage at Strategic Touchpoints Using Buprenorphine (OUTLAST-B): Rationale, Design, and Evolution of a Randomized Controlled Trial

Background: Despite the effectiveness and growing availability of treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) with buprenorphine, many people with OUD do not access treatment services. This article describes the rationale, methodological design, evolution, and progress of an ongoing clinical trial of treatment linkage strategies for people with untreated OUD. Methods: The study, titled Opioid Use Disorder Treatment Linkage at Strategic Touchpoints using Buprenorphine (OUTLAST-B), uses “strategic touchpoints”, initially sexual health clinics and subsequently broadened to other service venues and participant social networks, for recruitment and screening. Adults with untreated OUD (target N = 360) are randomized to one of the three arms: Usual Care (UC, enhanced with overdose education and naloxone distribution), Patient Navigation (PN), or Patient Navigation with an immediate short-term bridge prescription for buprenorphine (PN + BUP). In the PN and PN + BUP arms, the Patient Navigator works with participants for 2 months to facilitate treatment entry and early retention, resolve barriers (e.g., ID cards, transportation), and provide motivational support. Results: The primary outcome is OUD treatment entry within 30 days of enrollment. Participants are assessed at baseline and followed at 3- and 6-months post-enrollment on measures of healthcare utilization, substance use, and general functioning. Challenges and recruitment adaptations pursuant to the COVID-19 pandemic are discussed. Conclusions: This study could provide insights on how to reach people with untreated OUD and link them to care through non-traditional routes. Trial Registration: The study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04991974).
