The randomly selected sample consisted of (378) principals. The researcher adopted a descriptive survey approach and built a questionnaire consisting of (36) items based on the UN indicators of the fourth goal of sustainable development goals. The study came out with several main results, some of which were the role of Jordanian school principals in achieving the fourth goal of the sustainable development goals came at a moderate degree and that there are statistically significant differences at the level of statistical significance (α = 0.05) between the respondents’ estimates. It also indicates that there are statistically significant differences at the level of statistical significance (α = 0.05) between the averages of the respondents’ estimates of the overall score of the role of Jordanian school principals in achieving the fourth goal of the sustainable development goals attributed to the difference in the gender variable ( males). Considering the results, the study recommended holding periodic courses to promote principals’ awareness of the requirements of employing the fourth concept of sustainable development and to ensure its further activation in Jordanian schools.
Surgical Treatment for the Refractory Allergic Rhinitis: State of the Art

Nasal obstruction is a frequent disorder that interferes with the daily patient’s quality of life. The key element in the pathophysiology of the disorder is the inferior turbinate hypertrophy related to multiple conditions such as allergic rhinitis (AR). Many patients are managed using conventional drug therapies such as antihistamines, decongestants, and intranasal steroid sprays, anticholinergic agents, mast cell stabilizers, and desensitizing vaccines. When traditional therapy failed to relieve AR symptoms, surgical inferior turbinate reduction (ITR) is indicated. A vast variety of surgical techniques have been reported in the literature for AR such as resectioning, coagulating, and laser procedures. We aimed to revise all surgical options in AR management. We confirm that no ideal standard technique for turbinate reduction has been developed so far regarding the multitude of different surgical procedures. Furthermore, no prospective and comparable long-term studies are present in the literature; it is challenging to recommend evidence-based surgical techniques.
PENGARUH PERCEIVED EASE OF USE, PERCEIVED USEFULNESS DAN TRUST TERHADAP REPURCHASE INTENTION

Repurchase intention is the behavior of consumers to repurchase products or services from the same company based on their previous purchase experience. The factors that influence the occurrence of repurchase intention include perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and trust. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of these factors on Shopee users in Denpasar City. The study used a sample size of 140 Shopee user respondents in the city of Denpasar, with a non-probability sampling method, particularly purposive sampling. Collecting questionnaire data using Google Forms to respondents. The data analysis technique used is multiple linear regression analysis. The results of this study indicate that (1) perceived ease of use has a positive and significant effect on repurchase intention (2) perceived usefulness has a significant positive effect on repurchase intention (3). trust has a significant positive effect on repurchase intention. Based on this, it can be concluded that perceived ease.of use, perceived.usefulness , and good trust greatly affect the repurchase.intention behavior of Shopee users in Denpasar City. Shopee management should pay attention to perceived ease.of use, perceived.usefulness, and trust in order to maintain repurchase.intention behavior.
Equilibrium excess-of-loss reinsurance and investment strategies for an insurer and a reinsurer

Abstract In this paper, we consider the equilibrium excess-of-loss reinsurance and investment problem for both an insurer and a reinsurer. The risk process of the insurer is described by a classical Cramér-Lundberg (C-L) risk model and the insurer can purchase excess-of-loss reinsurance from the reinsurer. Both the insurer and the reinsurer are allowed to invest in a financial market consisting of a risk-free asset and two risky assets. The market price of risk depends on a Markovian, affine-form and square-root stochastic factor process. Dynamic mean-variance criterion is considered in this paper. We aim to maximize the weighted sum of the insurer’s and the reinsurer’s objectives with different risk averse coefficients. By solving the corresponding extended Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations, we derive the equilibrium reinsurance and investment strategies and the corresponding equilibrium value function. Finally, the economic implications of our findings are illustrated.

The Effect Of Tax Avoidance Through Earnings Persistence Against Erc: Evidence From Indonesia

To examine the effect of tax avoidance on earnings response coefficient with earnings persistence as an intervening variable. The independent variable used in this study is tax avoidance. The dependent variable in this research is ERC and earnings persistence as an intervening variable. The population in this study are manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2016-2018. The research sample was selected using the purposive sampling method and obtained 55 companies, so the number of samples used was 165 samples. Hypothesis testing uses Partial Least Square. RESULTS: This study shows that tax avoidance has no significant effect on stock values but tax avoidance has a significant effect on earnings persistence. While earnings persistence has a positive effect on stock values, then earnings persistence can mediate the relationship between tax avoidance and ERC. It is expected that the company can be more honest and open, as well as good corporate control. Many ways can be done to streamline and streamline the company's activities, but it should also be noted that there are limitations, because the impact of the company's behavior will be felt again by the company itself both in the long and short term.
Extending Natural Limits to Address Water Scarcity? The Role of Non-Conventional Water Fluxes in Climate Change Adaptation Capacity: A Review

Water consumption continues to grow globally, and it is estimated that more than 160% of the total global water volume will be needed to satisfy the water requirements in ten years. In this context, non-conventional water resources are being considered to overcome water scarcity and reduce water conflicts between regions and sectors. A bibliometric analysis and literature review of 81 papers published between 2000 and 2020 focused on south-east Spain were conducted. The aim was to examine and re-think the benefits and concerns, and the inter-connections, of using reclaimed and desalinated water for agricultural and urban-tourist uses to address water scarcity and climate change impacts. Results highlight that: (1) water use, cost, quality, management, and perception are the main topics debated by both reclaimed and desalinated water users; (2) water governance schemes could be improved by including local stakeholders and water users in decision-making; and (3) rainwater is not recognized as a complementary option to increase water supply in semi-arid regions. Furthermore, the strengths–weaknesses–opportunities–threats (SWOT) analysis identifies complementary concerns such as acceptability and investment in reclaimed water, regulation (cost recovery principle), and environmental impacts of desalinated water.
Vibrating Coordinates Frame Transformation Based Unity Power Factor Control of a Three-Phase Converter at Grid Voltage Imbalance and Harmonics

This article proposes a control system of a three-phase grid-connected power converter, operating in the rectifier mode, which achieves the unity power factor target, i.e., unbalanced and distorted current instead of sinusoidal one for grid voltage imbalance and harmonics. Such a target is known from active power filters control, but it has not been used for power supply devices yet. Thanks to that, the three-phase converter is seen as resistive load by the utility grid, and active power is consumed with minimal possible rms current, keeping current asymmetry corresponding to the voltage asymmetry during unbalanced dips. Intentional introduction of current harmonics is not trivial from the point of view of both reference signals calculation and control system structure, because in the classical approach, it would require resonant terms in controller structure. Additionally, grid voltage asymmetry introduces another oscillating component, which imposes other resonant terms in the controller. The transformation presented in this article allows to achieve desirable current harmonics and asymmetry with the use of two proportional-integral controllers, one in each controlled axis. This article presents theoretical principles of the new transformation, control system structure as well as simulation and experimental tests of a three-phase converter utilizing this idea.
Prospective Tourists’ Cognitive Image Prone to Safety and Security Destination

Safety and security are important for travellers and the tourism industry. One characteristic that influences travel intention is the type and level of safety and security related to destinations. It is generally accepted in tourism literature that the importance destination image of which is universally acknowledged, is often used as a significant element for local tourists in the choice of a vacation destination. The main focus of this study was to identify the underlying dimensions that influence prospective tourists’ travel intention to visit Sabah. A total number of 362 questionnaires were distributed to gain the information from a prospective international tourist who had not visit Sabah before. Descriptive analyses were used to describe the sample profile. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted to identify the underlying dimensions of the cognitive destination image. Using this method, four main dimensions of cognitive destination image; natural environment, appealing activities, attractive conditions and essential condition were identified. Based on the results, suggestions were made to build up strategies for improving and maintaining the Sabah image. Furthermore, the limitation and implications for future research are also provided.
Systematic study of the impact of MOF densification into tablets on textural and mechanical properties

Four different metal–organic framework powders (UiO-66, UiO-66-NH2, UiO-67, and HKUST-1) were shaped into tablets. The effect of the applied pressure on porous properties, mechanical resistance and tablet bulk density is reported. We observe a linear relationship between densification and tensile strength for all four studied MOFs, with the slope being MOF-dependent. We also report conditions for improving significantly the volumetric uptake. Finally, we evaluated our tablets' stability over time in the presence of moisture.
Organic winter cereals benefit bumblebee colonies in agricultural landscapes with mass‐flowering crops

Scant floral resources are a major cause of declining pollinator populations in farmland. Measures to increase floral resources on arable land include agronomically non‐productive approaches, like flowering fields (seed mixture of flowering forbs sown on fallows) and production‐integrated approaches like organically farmed crops sustaining flowering arable wild plants. However, little is known about their relative efficacy for bumblebee conservation. We observed weight gain, foraging activity, worker body size, queen brood cell number and analysed stored pollen types of Bombus terrestris colonies experimentally sited adjacent to arable fields farmed under four crop‐use types: (i) cereal mono‐crops (winter wheat) under conventional farming, (ii) non‐productive conventional flowering fields, (iii) organic cereal mono‐crops (winter spelt) and (iv) organic legume mixed‐crops (lentil mixed‐crop). Additionally, we analysed the effects of flower cover in the surrounding landscape. Colonies located adjacent to organic winter spelt fields had higher foraging activity and larger body sizes, whereas other colony performance measures were unaffected by local crop‐use type. Phacelia tanacetifolia, which was only cultivated in flowering fields, accounted for about 50% of the total pollen amount irrespective of crop‐use type. This indicated a landscape‐wide attraction for B. terrestris to flowering fields. Flower cover in the surrounding landscape did not affect colony development, but negatively affected pollen diversity. We conclude that although the pollen supply of flowering fields in the surrounding landscape strongly attracts bumblebees, local bumblebee populations could still benefit from less intensive farming practices increasing flowering wild plant diversity, such as with flower‐rich organic winter cereals.
Cyber Attacks in Transactive Energy Market-Based Microgrid Systems

Due to the increasing integration of distributed energy generation in the electric grid, transactive energy markets (TEMs) have recently emerged to balance the demand and supply dynamically across the grid. TEM enables peer to peer (P2P) energy trading and brings flexibility by reducing users’ demand in the grid. It also enhances the system’s efficiency and reduces the pressure on electricity networks. However, it is vulnerable to major cyber attacks as users equipped with smart devices are participating autonomously in the energy market, and an extensive amount of information is exchanged through the communication channel. The potential attacks and impacts of those attacks need to be investigated to develop an attack resilient TEM-based power system. Hence, in this paper, our goal is to systematically identify possible cyber attacks associated with a TEM-based power system. In order to achieve this goal, we classify the attacks during the P2P and flexibility schemes of TEM into three main categories. Then, we explore the attacks under each category in detail. We further distinguish the adversary roles of each particular attack and see what benefits will be received by an adversary through each specific attack. Finally, we present the impact of the attacks on the market operation, consumers, and prosumers of the TEM in this paper.
Using Piotroski F-Score for Assessing Financial Health: Evidence from Leading Indian Private Banks

This research investigates the efficacy of Piotroski F-score to screen firms with good financial health and to identify early signs of financial distress in Indian banking stocks. This study complements existing empirical evidence which indicate that the venerable model can provide valuable insight for investment decision making and risk management. The evidence is drawn from valuation signals across leading private banks in India for a period ranging from 2014-2020. Piotroski F-score evaluates companies with a discrete number between zero and nine, the score facilitates determination of financial strength of the company. Higher score indicates better financial health and viceversa. The F-score is calculated as a sum of criteria which evaluates profitability signals, leverage and liquidity, sources of funds and operating efficiencies. In this study, each of these ratios have been analyzed to gain valuable insight on the banks (company-level). Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) of various ratios, ascertains intensity of relationship across banks (industry-level). This can help manage exposure in the portfolio as per the economic environment. The Piotroski F-score evaluates the generic financial health of the firm and indicates the direction in which the firm is headed. By studying individual factors, relative strength can be assessed. Piotroski F-score ranged between 0-7 for all the banks under study, indicating that none of them were a ‘compellingbuy’ (score 8 or 9) over the seven-year horizon. Some banks have consistently shown depleting F-score over at least 3 years, this can be interpreted as a signal of financial distress. It is evident that consistent monitoring of F-score empowers pro-active risk management. This work attempts to introduce Piotroski F-score as an integral valuation metric in evaluating Indian banking stocks. F-score can be used for initial screening, it’s consistent monitoring can facilitate optimized returns at risk-adjusted levels.
Measure of unevenness in human genomes, described as a self-affine phase transition in a 'spin-chain’ model

Background: Non-Gaussian distribution of polymorphic positions across a genome can substantially influence the results of any approach to molecular evolution based on a 'classical' probability model. The infinite dispersion of non-Gaussian perturbations is a challenge in an attempt to accept it in a probability-based model of evolution. Methods: Here a model is proposed where non-Gaussian distribution is introduced to an exact solution of the 'Ising model'; it describes a behavior of one-dimensional chain of spins in an approaching to a phase transition. The distribution of fragments which are identical between two genomes is similar to distribution of islands of spins with the same orientation, in the model where non-integer dimension is introduced. Results: Application of this model allows us to compare the relative contributions of non-Gaussian perturbations for pairs of human genomes from different ethnic groups. An evolution of the three human races in a most compact presentation is considered, rates of development on the separated stages of the evolution are assumed to be proportional to a value of relative unevenness between the appropriate groups of genomes. In the resolved model, the meaningful details of the separation between Asian and European races are clarified, in a period around ten thousand years ago; a particular viewpoint to the separation of the African race is also presented. Conclusion: The proposed approximation of non-Gaussian perturbations in human genomes allows to support the statements which are otherwise missed in the scientific investigations of the early history of modern humans.
Abnormal Expression of the Steroid Hormone Synthesis Pathway Associates with Cattle Ovarian Cysts

BackgroundWhen a mature follicle fails to ovulate, ovarian cysts can develop and persist in the ovary, interfering with normal ovarian functions. However, the etiology of ovarian cysts remains poorly understood.ResultsBy enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) of the bovine follicle fluid from cystic follicles , we found that cystic follicles were characterized by lower oestradiol (E2), Insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF1), and insulin levels but elevated progesterone (P4) compared with preovulatory follicles (p <0.05). Further gene expression profiling of follicle walls by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) showed that there are 356 differentially expressed genes between preovulatory follicles and corpus luteum cyst groups, and 582 differentially expressed genes between preovulatory follicles and follicular cyst groups. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis linked steroid hormone synthesis pathway to the formation of ovarian cysts, and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (STAR), cytochrome P450, family 11, subfamily A, polypeptide 1 (CYP11A1), hydroxy-delta-5-steroid dehydrogenase, 3-beta- and steroid delta-isomerase 1 (HSD3B1), cytochrome P450, family 17, subfamily A, polypeptide 1 (CYP17A1), and cytochrome P450, family 1, subfamily B, polypeptide 1 (CYP1B1) genes in the steroid hormone synthesis pathway play important roles in this process. ConclusionsAbnormal hormone profiles and expression of steroid hormone synthesis pathway genes related to the formation of ovarian cysts. The findings lay a theoretical foundation for the prevention and treatment of ovarian cysts.
