Authors: Bakhtiar Bachrizal
Published: February 2022

This article aims to determine the validity of the construction and reliability of a learning motivation instrument (I-MABAR) of students in the time of covid pandemic 19. Researchers used a pilot study on 36 students of Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) as a sample to obtain reliability, and three supervisors to obtain validity. Researchers have developed a questionnaire with a google form that contains a total of 24 items. Student learning motivation should be measured to ensure the level of student learning motivation in the learning process in the current Covid-19 dememic. For that, there needs to be a learning motivation instrument that has a good degree of validity and reliability to get the right display of student learning motivation. The findings of the study show that 24 instrument items from the five main constructs of I-MABAR have a very high total item correlation value. However, there are two total instrument items that have a strong correlation value namely items D3 and E1. But all items have an acceptable validity value. While the findings of reliability values ​​using Cronbach Alpha analysis have a very high value. Thus, the validity and reliability of the instrument shows that the student learning motivation instrument (I-MABAR) has a quality that can be used to measure learning motivation.

Background: The objective of this study was to determine how long to wait in locally advanced rectal tumor (LARC) patients who receive total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) and achieve a clinical complete response (cCR), and to identify the clinical parameters that affect the waiting period for the watch-and-wait strategy (W&W). Materials and Methods: The data of patients who achieved cCR between February 2015 and June 2020 were examined retrospectively. The week in which patients with cCR at the end of TNT achieved clearance was determined by reanalyzing recorded endoscopy video images. In the assessment at the time of the initial diagnosis, tumor characteristics, such as digital rectal examination findings, MRI stage, location with respect to the puborectalis muscle, annularity, and tumor size, were recorded prospectively. Results: A total of 54 patients were included in this study. According to the MRI-T stage, 14 cases were cT3a, 22 were cT3b, and 18 were cT3c-T4. Forty-four percent of the cases achieved cCR at 8-10 weeks, 19% at 12-16 weeks, 20% at 16-22 weeks, and 17% at 20-26 weeks. Patients with tumors that were early MRI-T stage (cT3a), negative clinical circumferential resection margin, mobile, small (≤4 cm), located above the puborectalis muscle and showed <180 degrees annularity achieved cCR significantly earlier than those with other tumors (p<0.05). Conclusion: In this study, cCR was achieved in less than half (44%) of the cases during the 8-10 week waiting period. In the W&W strategy, the initial assessment for cCR seems insufficient, and we may need to wait up to 26-30 weeks, especially in patients with advanced-stage tumors.

Published: February 2022

Oxygen is an undisputed key factor in wound healing. Adequate oxygen pressure in tissues allows for cell growth and proliferation, necessary for wound healing. In the case of peripheral arterial disease leading to hypoxemia, oxygen supplementation is beneficial. The roles and validity of topical and systemic oxygen therapy in wound healing is debated. Topical oxygen therapy (TOT) is delivered at 100% oxygen saturation and has been demonstrated to increase the pO2 levels within the wound base center, decrease the size of the wound, and decrease the time to wound healing compared to patients that did not undergo topical oxygen therapy. Alternatives to topical oxygen therapy are systemic oxygen therapy including hyperbaric oxygen therapy and inspired oxygen therapy. Systemic oxygen therapy carries the risk of oxygen organ toxicity as the result of an oxidative stress and genotoxicity state. Topical O2 therapy is a viable option for chronic wounds, with its demonstrated effects on decrease in wound size and time to healing. Adjunctive clinical wound debridement’s decrease the necrotic debris and therefore the topical oxygen diffusion distance optimizing the therapy effect.

GESTIÓN DE RIESGOS APLICADA A INVERSIONES EN INFRAESTRUCTURA. ¿APORTE ESTRATÉGICO DE LA TERCERA MISIÓN DE LAS UNIVERSIDADES?
Authors: GOMEZ SANCHEZ SOTO RUBEN
Published: February 2022

De acuerdo con las investigaciones realizadas, se ha comprobado la existencia de una relación entre la ejecución de los proyectos de infraestructura y su desempeño como obra pública. Lamentablemente, se han registrado obras paralizadas (proyectos hospitalarios), obras con mayores costos y plazos; toda esta problemática acrecienta los problemas públicos de brecha de acceso básico a infraestructura (corto y largo plazo), reportados por el Plan Nacional de Infraestructura para la Competitividad. Y ante la pregunta, ¿Quiénes serían los más afectados por esta problemática? Lamentablemente: “Los más afectados, son los ciudadanos de a pie”. Se debe señalar la causa que genera toda esta problemática: “es la no aplicación de gestión de riesgos en la ejecución de las inversiones en proyectos de infraestructura; esta deficiencia, da como resultados proyectos no exitosos.  

Otro de los aportes es la existencia de una relación directa entre la oferta de las universidades, el señalamiento de misión (primera, segunda, tercera e impacto económico), niveles y resultados de la investigación la solución de los problemas públicos, y principalmente el logro de profesionales con competencias apropiadas y necesarias para dar solución a los problemas públicos del país.
A II. vatikáni zsinat kihatása Erdélyben az Oltáriszentség tiszteletére Márton Áron püspöksége idején
Authors:   Universitatea Babeş-Bolyai, Marton József
Published: February 2022

There is a lot of uncertainty in the transition age. Old redundant frills and sometimes values also disappear and are replaced by age-appropriate values. The change in the worship life of the Church is unequivocal because it is about permanence and continuous development at the same time. The Holy Eucharist has been the life-giving soul of the Catholic Church since Christ to the present day. The external form of its celebration, however, has changed over time. In Transylvania, during the 2nd Vatican Council, the Catholic Church lived in a ghetto, but after the Synod, the liturgical shift in the celebration and reverence of the Eucharist also took place here. The Eucharistic spirit of Bishop Márton Áron of Alba Iulia helped a lot to make it happen smoothly. Nevertheless, actual cases reveal that the Bishop, too, had to deal with misunderstandings, priests who were willing to ignore all the rules. With his patient attitude and willing service, he tried hard to be the loving high priest of everyone, both of the caring, scrupulous priests and of the fussy ones, because it was about our greatest treasure, the Eucharist.
Az Erdélyi Római Katolikus Státus igazgatótanácsának 1873-as újjáalakulása és dualizmus kori tevékenységi köre

Published: February 2022

The Roman Catholic Status of Transylvania is an institution that still operates today and has a long history. The present study reviews a slice of the history of Board of Directors of Status, which was a leading group of the institution. The research bears the peculiarities of church history research, using the available resources, taking into account the characteristics of the period as well. The text of the study contains excerpts from contemporary protocols and drafts, as well as archival documents. When rewriting, we retained the terms and the original spelling, as this way we can more authentically convey the thinking of the age and the ways of its official documentation. Given the complexity of the topic, we decided to briefly analyze church policy relations in the second half of the nineteenth century. In addition to the complexity of the study, the need for the analysis is also justified by the fact that in the second half of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century, for the most part during the time of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, many changes took place in the relationship between the church and the state, both on a theoretical and practical level, which had a decisive effect on the relationship between the Transylvanian Roman Catholic Status and the Hungarian government.

Published: February 2022

The relationships between the chemical and mineral composition of 37 coal samples from Australia, Bulgaria, USA, Japan, Canada, South Africa, China, Spain, and Ukraine, which differ considerably in their geology, rank, age, ash yield, chemistry and mineralogy, have been investigated. For that purpose complete data from chemical (proximate, ultimate and ash analyses) and mineral composition (major and minor minerals) of these samples have been used. The study explains initially some general considerations of the inorganic matter in coal. Then, the work provides and elucidates the statistically significant positive or negative correlations of chemical characteristics of the coals studied. Further, different geochemical indicators for some genetic interpretations of coal formation are also provided and described. The correlations of minerals in coals, as well as the potential applications of relationships among chemical and mineral composition are described in Part 2 of the present work.
40Ar/39Ar and U-Pb geochronology of the Iran Tepe volcanic complex, Eastern Rhodopes
Authors: Marchev Peter , Kibarov Peter , Spikings Richard , Ovtcharova Maria , Márton István , Moritz Robert
Published: February 2022

The Iran Tepe volcanic complex occurs in the south-eastern part of the Eastern Rhodope massif. The rocks are represented by calc-alkaline and high-K calc-alkaline basaltic andesite to dacite epiclastics, lava flows and dikes, which are crosscut by andesitic and latitic dikes and rhyolitic dykes from the Planinets dyke swarm. Stratigraphic data and existing K/Ar ages suggest that the Iran Tepe volcanic complex is Upper Eocene (35-39 Ma), and is one of the oldest volcanic structures in the Eastern Rhodopes. However, new 40Ar/39Ar laser fusion and incremental step-heating experiments on biotites and isotope dilution – thermal ionization mass spectrometry (ID-TIMS) U-Pb age data on single zircons from the bottom and top lava flows and dykes more precisely constrain the ages and time span of volcanic activity, and show that the volcanism is younger. Volcanic activity started with calc-alkaline andesites and dacites at the beginning of the Oligocene (~33.9 Ma) and culminated with the intrusion of latitic dykes at ~33.0 Ma. Rhyolites from the Planinets dyke swarm yield a similar age (32.8 Ma), but their genetic relationship with the more mafic Iran Tepe lavas remains unclear.

Economic Drivers Shaping Bangladesh as a Trading State: The Relevance of Geopolitical Neutrality
Authors: Abbasi Parvez Karim
Published: February 2022

The sustained economic growth of Bangladesh and its gradual integration into a globalized economy has influenced its foreign policy. The concerns are to increase merchandise exports; to ensure uninterrupted supply of raw materials, intermediate commodities, and electricity via reliable import channels; to attract much-needed Foreign Direct Investment and technology transfer to close the resource gap; and to leverage itself to become a regional hub of multimodal connectivity to reap maximum benefits from regional integration. Thus, Bangladesh behaves like a Trading State in the global arena, and it is precisely because of these economic determinants that it opts to pursue a policy of geopolitical neutrality. Bangladesh has significant economic dependence on USA, UK and EU for its exports. China and India are the leading sources of much needed import of agricultural produce, raw materials, intermediate goods and machinery. USA, UK and EU member nations are significant investors in Bangladesh. However, long-term Chinese investment commitments under the ‘Belt and Road Initiative’ (BRI) and generous credit facilities have caused the Chinese to acquire greater clout over the last five years or so. Competing regional integration initiatives by India and Japan pose opportunities to counter Chinese influence in Bangladesh and provide the host country with a unique opportunity to select future projects prudently. Due to Bangladesh's diverse economic engagements, it is prudent to maintain its geopolitical neutrality and avoid becoming entangled in a New Great Game.

Psychosocial Risks and Subjective Well-Being in the Canadian Workplace
Authors: Moulin Stephane
Published: February 2022

This article puts forward a new typology of workers, based on an enhanced set of indicators of psychosocial risks and well-being, and examines the character traits associated with each class membership. This article innovates by simultaneously taking into account how hostile behaviours, poor working conditions and employment precariousness are associated with different subjective measures of well-being. This study uses a person-centered approach by conducting latent class analysis on a representative sample of 5,867 Canadian employees. Six distinct clusters are revealed: “heavily suffering”, “unfulfilled precarious”, “unhealthy stressed”, “untroubled harassed”, “optimistic precarious” and “not exposed”. This article thus shows that it is not harassment or lack of social benefits per se that affect workers’ well-being. It demonstrates that workers’ well-being deteriorates only when hostile behaviours/conflicts and poor working/employment conditions overlap. Binary logistic regression analyses reveal that, controlling for other worker characteristics, this typology of workers is related to work ethic and resilience. The results suggest two key trends:  overlapping exposure to precariousness, procedural injustice and poor prospects for career advancement reduces hard work ethic, while overlapping exposure to hostile behaviour/conflicts and competition reduces resilience.

Published: February 2022

Dry-land agriculture has enormous potential in ensuring nutritious food to the inhabitants and eco-restoration. Khejri (Prosopis cineraria) is a life-line tree of the Thar Desert. It is the most important component of the traditional farming systems of arid and semi-arid region of the north-western part of India. It tolerates extreme edapho-climatic conditions with lush-green foliage and bears fruits that too during the driest period. Its nutritious leaf-fodder (loong) and tender pods (sangri) used extensively. Sangri is sold fresh and dehydrated at high price, and it is the main constituent of Panchkutta vegetable cooking. Prior to CIAH - Khejri Technology, the rural people used to collect tender pods from the natural seedling trees and there was no quality standard for it. For horticultural exploitation, a series of technological advancements have been made at ICAR-CIAH and first-time recommended are patch-budding for vegetative propagation for conservation of the elite genotypes and mass-multiplication of true-to-type plants in the nursery, in-situ orchard establishment by bud-grafting, induction of thornlessness in plants, variety-Thar Shobha, crop-regulation to harvest both sangri and loong annually, on-farm value-addition and diversified crop-combination models adopting HBCPSMA concept such as Organic Panchkuta, native, multi-purpose and intensive production. Based on crop-commodity potentialities, khejri planting models viz., KM–1, KM–3, KM–7, KM–9 and KM–11 exhibited tremendous scope for desert horticultural promotion and agro-ecological prosperity.
Hybrid-Plasma, a Newly Formed Environment for Growing Plants without Soil or Water
Authors: J Scherlag Benjamin
Published: February 2022

Introduction: We have discovered a new form of Non-Thermal Plasma (NTP) that is produced without added external energy. This Hybrid-Plasma (HP) is a mixture of water and gas whose formation is dependent on a purely passive process. Methods: In the present study we exposed developing Mung bean seedlings (n=10) to HP in an enclosed compartment without water or soil for 7 days. An equal number of age paired seedlings were grown hydroponically for comparison. Seedlings were then removed from the HP and grown hydroponically for another week. Results: Over the initial test period, the seedlings grown in the HP showed significantly diminished growth of stem length and leaves were under-developed compared to the hydroponically grown controls (p<0.05). When the seedlings in HP were placed in the hydroponic environment for another week, leaf growth resumed but was markedly diminished compared to its age paired partner. Conclusion: Seedlings exposed to HP for a week exhibited growth, albeit diminished, compared to its age paired partner. These findings suggest hybrid plasma has anti-aging properties.

What happens when Chinese firms invest in European infrastructure

REDEFINE will examine what China’s rise means for how we understand global development and, specifically, Europe’s place in it. REDEFINE aims to use the insights from international development to interrogate Chinese engagement in the heart of Europe and, by doing so, reorient the Eurocentric debates in the social sciences around how we define and delimit development, who drives these processes, and what it means for societies and communities affected by such investments.

Allah menurunkan kitab suci Al qur’an dan sampai saat ini masih terjaga kemurniannya. Tentu banyak kaum kafir untuk merusak kemurnian Al Qur’an tersebut. Namun dalam hal ini sekalipun mereka gotong royong mengajak semua manusia, laki-perempuan, kafir atau mukmin, yang memiliki keraguan pada al-Qur’an, mereka dapat dipastikan tidak akan bisa mendatangkan dan meniru al-Qur’an. Dalam hal ini penulis tertarik untuk mengkaji apa saja jaminan kemurnian Al qur’an di berbagai surah menurut persepektif Abu hayyan al- Andalusi dalam kitab Al-Bahr al-Muhith. Kajian ini menggunakan kajian Tafsir tematik. Setelah dilakukan kajian, penulis menemukan hal hal terkait macam-macam tantangan yang diberikan al-Qur’an ada empat tingkatan. Ini juga dikatakan sebagai tinggkatan mukjizad al-Qur’an. Itu pula merupakan jaminan atas kemurnia al-Qur’an.

Indian Arbitration: The Ghost of Implied Exclusion and other Related Issues
Authors: Tigadi Rohan
Published: February 2022

The purpose of this article is to examine the effect of the Arbitration and Conciliation (Amendment) Act, 2015 on the scope and applicability of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. In 2015, several provisions of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 were amended by the Arbitration and Conciliation (Amendment) Act, 2015 based on the recommendations of the Law Commission of India in its 246th Report. Among other things, a proviso was inserted to section 2(2) of the 1996 Act to empower Indian courts to act in aid of foreign-seated international commercial arbitrations. So, pursuant to the amendment, Indian courts can aid foreign-seated arbitral tribunals in taking of evidence or grant interim measures in favour of such arbitrations if the resulting award is enforceable under the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Awards or Convention on Execution of Foreign Arbitral Awards in India. The Law Commission of India had recommended that such remedies available under the proviso to section 2(2) could be excluded only by an ‘express’ agreement between the parties. However, in the present form, the proviso to section 2(2) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 provides that the aforesaid remedies could be excluded by an ‘express’ and ‘implied’ agreement between the parties. The author highlights the various problems that may arise as a result of such remedies being made excludable by an ‘implied agreement’ between the parties in light of the ‘theory of implied exclusion’ propounded by the judgment of the Supreme Court of India in Bhatia International v Bulk Trading SA. The author also deals with other ancillary issues arising from such an amendment to section 2(2) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996.
