Authors: Ashal Najwa , Masa’deh Ra’ed , Twaissi Naseem Mohammad
Published: August 2023

Due to the competitive and uncertain environment nowadays, organizations could respond to these environmental factors effectively by being more learning-oriented, where individuals and teams are encouraged to constantly learn and grow and knowledge is shared and disseminated throughout the organization. This may allow the organization to better understand its environment and respond to changing circumstances in a more effective and efficient way. By improving the organization towards learning organization, the organization could continuously improve its ability to adapt and change through the acquisition and application of new knowledge and skills. Moreover, intrapreneurship could assist organizations in adapting to internal and external environmental changes, which in turn could help firms to innovate and revitalize their businesses. To actualize this study, data were gathered from 263 managers in Jordanian pharmaceutical companies. The collected data were coded against SPSS 25, then normality, validity, and reliability were tested and multiple regressions were used to examine the hypotheses. Thus, this research found an effect for learning organization dimensions (supportive learning environment, concrete learning processes and practices, leadership that reinforces learning, and creating learning structures) on intrapreneurship the context of Jordanian pharmaceutical companies.

Grapes, especially those of the red varieties, have a high content of polyphenolic compounds. After the removal of the juice during the winemaking process, the grape marc (peels and seeds) remains as waste, making it a promising source for the isolation of polyphenols. The separation, recovery, and enrichment of samples of phenolic compounds offers the possibility of their subsequent utilization in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries. In this paper, results are presented on both laboratory and pilot scales, including the effect of basic extraction parameters such as the solvent (water, ethanol, acetone, polyethylene glycol, ethyl acetate, and their respective 50% aqueous solutions), the solid/liquid ratio, the extraction time, and the temperature. The enrichment of the extracts in phenolic compounds was performed with the help of a series of membrane processes and rotary evaporation. The experiments showed the presence of almost all known compounds reported in the literature with pro-anthocyanidins (dimers-trimers) and flavan-3-ols together with various metabolites accompanied by a significant reduction in the values of total organic load.
Reconceptualising Preservice Teachers’ Subject Knowledge in Climate Change and Sustainability Education: A Framework for Initial Teacher Education from England, UK
Authors: Majid Nasreen , Marston Sarah , Reed Johnson Jo Anna , Happle Andrew
Published: August 2023

Climate Change and Sustainability Education (CCSE) has been gaining prominence with the imminent climate emergency humanity is facing. This paper draws upon a conceptual framework created to support the development of preservice teachers’ subject knowledge of CCSE whilst undertaking Initial Teacher Education (ITE) programs in England. The core aims and learning outcomes within the framework, namely knowledge; attitudes, values and behaviours; and competences and capabilities, are defined to illustrate what subject knowledge looks like, in this area, for preservice teachers in England. This paper highlights data gathered from 71 preservice teachers via an initial presurvey from three ITE institutions across England. The data were gathered from Early Years and Primary and Secondary phase trainees across both postgraduate and undergraduate programmes. The presurvey captured a range of qualitative and quantitative responses from preservice teachers to showcase priority areas, from their perspective, in the teaching of CCSE. The responses were coded and then themed according to the three aims and learning outcomes of the framework (knowledge; attitudes, values and behaviours; and competences and capabilities) to understand preservice teachers’ views on CCSE at the start of their courses. The findings suggest that preservice teachers lack key subject knowledge in CCSE to teach it effectively in schools. Hence, this paper recommends further work needs to be carried out to embed CCSE work in ITE courses across England. It is further suggested that the CCSE framework highlighted in this paper can act as a key national document to support ITE institutions to conceptualise the teaching and learning of CCSE across their ITE programmes.

Published: August 2023

This article presents a comprehensive study of the potential utilization of the L-band and S-band frequency ranges for satellite non-terrestrial network (NTN) technologies. This study encompasses an interference analysis in the S-band, investigating the coexistence of NTN satellite systems with mobile satellite networks such as Omnispace and Lyra, and an interference analysis in the L-band between NTN satellites and the mobile satellite network Inmarsat. This study simulates an NTN satellite network with typical characteristics defined by 3GPP and ITU-R for the n255 and n256 bands. Furthermore, it provides calculations illustrating the signal-to-noise ratio degradation of low-Earth-orbit (LEO), medium-Earth-orbit (MEO), and geostationary-Earth-orbit (GEO) satellite networks operating in the L-band and S-band when exposed to interference from NTN satellites.

Authors: Leite Luan de Souza , dos Santos Danilo Vitorino , Paschoalato Cristina Filomena Pereira Rosa , Bond Tom , Daniel Luiz Antonio
Published: August 2023

Eutrophication in water reservoirs releases algal organic matter (AOM), which is an important precursor of disinfection by-products (DBPs) formed during water treatment. Chlorella sorokiniana is a microalgae which flourishes under conditions of high light intensity and temperature, thus its prevalence in algal blooms is expected to increase with climate change. However, Chlorella sorokiniana AOM has not been previously investigated as a DBP precursor. In this context, this study evaluated the effect of AOM concentration, humic acid (HA), and pH on DBP formation from chlor(am)ination of AOM Chlorella sorokiniana. DBP yields determined by linear regression for trichloromethane (TCM) and chloral hydrate (CH) were 57.9 and 46.0 µg·mg DOC−1 in chlorination, while the TCM, CH, dichloroacetonitrile (DCAN), 1,1,1-trichloropropanone (1,1,1-TCP), and chloropicrin (CPN) concentrations were 33.6, 29.8, 16.7, 2.1, and 1.2 µg·mg DOC−1 in chloramination. Chloramination reduced the formation of TCM and CH but increased CPN, DCAN, and 1,1,1-TCP yields. AOM Chlorella sorokiniana showed a higher DBP formation than 9 of 11 algae species previously investigated in the literature. At basic pH, the concentration of TCM increased while the concentration of other DBP classes decreased. Bromide was effectively incorporated into the AOM structure and high values of bromine incorporation factor were found for THM (1.81–1.89) and HAN (1.32) at 1.5 mg Br·L−1. Empirical models predicted successfully the formation of THM and HAN (R2 > 0.86). The bromide concentration had more impact in the model on the DBP formation than AOM and HA. These results provide the first insights into the DBP formation from AOM chlor(am)ination of Chlorella sorokiniana.

Barbie in the mirror of culture: social burden and transformation of the modern doll
Authors:   Omsk state university named after F.M. Dostoevsky, Pyzeyko E.A.
Published: August 2023

The functionality of a children's toy is changing along with the changing world for which it was created. Her orientation to the requirements and interests of a child is relative. First of all, a doll is an object of the adult world. One of the most popular dolls of our time is no exception in this case. The prototype of Barbie was a toy that conveyed the forms of an adult girl, attracting the attention of men. The first Barbies made according to its format won the hearts of children, and, as practice shows, for a long time. The article discusses the algorithm of retaining this attention, the “secrets of success” of Barbie on the example of the development of her specific model — Barbie Fashionistas. The sequence of subjectification of the doll's image, the goals pursued by this process, and its consequences are considered in the work. The result of Barbie's evolution is not only the development of the child's consumer taste, but also the emergence of a separate subculture in the adult world (the doll could not leave this world), which indicates the initial close connection between the doll and the human world. These relationships are devoid of a sacred gloss, which is mandatory for a doll, according to ethnographic and anthropological observations. The axiology of this image is ambivalent — it both brings relief to suffering and forces us to abandon the natural nature of the body (which is hardly possible without pain and final dissatisfaction). The instrumental character of the doll's imagery is considered, which turns out to be important for both the world of children and the world of adults.
Training primary care staff in delivering the primary care consultation remotely: a systematic review
Authors: Parsons Jo , Salman Bilal , Leach Helen , Watson Eleanor , Atherton Helen
Published: August 2023

Background

Remote consultation is widely used in primary care, and its use has increased greatly since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite this, primary care clinicians lack formal training in delivering remote consultation. There is a need to understand how training might best be delivered, and what evidence there is to support this.

Aim

To summarise existing published literature about training primary care staff in conducting primary care consultation remotely, to outline which models of training may be effective, and to identify unanswered questions for future research.

Design & setting

Systematic review of English language studies in primary care included in Medline (Ovid), Cochrane Database, PubMed, Embase (Ovid), Web of Science, and CINAHL from 2010–2021; and in Google results from 2010–2022.

Method

Databases were searched using a predefined search strategy. Title, abstract, and full-text screening was conducted to identify eligible studies for inclusion in the review. The quality of included studies was assessed, and findings were synthesised to answer the research questions.

Results

We included 10 studies. Seven examined training on remote consultation with trainee GPs or residents, and three examined training on remote consultation with qualified primary care clinicians. Training described led to positive change overall, including increased confidence and self-efficacy in delivering remote consultations. Furthermore, trainees reported increased use of remote consultation, increased efficiency, and increased engagement from patients. Studies where training involved workshops or didactic learning alongside experiential learning resulted in more positive feelings and more confidence about how technology could aid consultations.

Conclusion

There is limited evidence on training primary care staff in conducting remote consultation. Available evidence indicates that training has a positive impact on the ability of clinicians and staff to deliver remote consultation.
The Relationship Between Watching Mukbang (Eating Show), Eating Behaviors, and Anthropometric Parameters in Iranian Female Students
Authors: Manafi Anari Fatemeh , Eghtesadi Shahryar
Published: August 2023

Background: With the increasing watching of programs such as Mukbang, the study of eating behaviors and anthropometric parameters and their relationship with Mukbang should be considered to prevent chronic diseases and eating disorders. This study investigated the relationship between watching Mukbang with eating behaviors and anthropometric parameters in female students at Islamic Azad University, Science and Research Branch, Tehran, Iran. Study Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: In this study, 114 female students aged 18 to 31 years were selected using simple random sampling. General information, watching Mukbang status, and the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ) were administered to the participants online. Results: The prevalence of Mukbang watching in female students of the present study was 60.5%. Furthermore, there was no significant relationship between the frequency of Mukbang watching and emotional or restrained eating behavior (P > 0.05), while there was a significant relationship between external eating behavior and the frequency of watching Mukbang (P=0.0001). It was found that with increasing watching time, external eating also increased. According to the results of logistic regression analysis, the external eating chance was 27% lower in students who watch Mukbang rarely than those who have never watched such a show. However, this chance was 0.31 and 9.58 times higher in students who occasionally and always watch Mukbang, respectively. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between external eating behaviors and watching Mukbang.

Authors: Gholian Khadije , Hajian-Tilaki Karimollah , Akbari Roghayeh
Published: August 2023

Background: In hemodialysis patients, changes in dialysis adequacy (DA) are examined longitudinally. The aim of this study was to determine factors affecting DA using the generalized estimating equation (GEE) and to compare them with the quadratic inference function (QIF). Study Design: A longitudinal study. Methods: This longitudinal study examined the records of 153 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. The longitudinal data on the DA and baseline demographic and clinical characteristics were obtained from patients’ files. The GEE1, GEE2, and QIF models were fitted with different correlation structures, and then the best correlation structure was selected using the quasi-likelihood information criterion (QIC), Akaike information criterion (AIC), and Bayes information criterion (BIC) fitting criteria. Results: The majority of patients (59.5%) had unfavorable DA (KT/V<1.2). Women and patients<60 years had more favorable DA. In the GEE model, the coefficients of female gender (β=0.079, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.032, 0.062), age at starting dialysis (β=-0.002, 95% CI: -0.004, -0.0001), hypertension (HTN, β=-0.055, 95% CI: -0.007, -0.103), diabetes (β=-0.088,95% CI: -0.021, -0.155), dialysis duration (β=0.132, 95% CI: 0.085, 0.178), and weight (β=-0.004, 95% CI: -0.006, -0.003) demonstrated a significant relationship with DA. The three models resulted in a similar estimate of regression coefficients. The relative efficiencies of QIF versus GEE1, QIF versus GEE2, and GEE2 versus GEE1 were 1.175, 1.056, and 1.113, respectively. Conclusion: DA is not optimal in most hemodialysis patients, and gender, age at the start of dialysis, HTN, diabetes, dialysis duration, and weight had a significant association with DA. The three different models yielded quite similar coefficient estimates, but the QIF model resulted more efficient than GEE1 and GEE2.
Possibilities and Limitations of electronic criminal proceedings in the Introduction of Legal Tech
Authors:   The Korean Association of Criminal Procedure Law, Park Sung-min
Published: August 2023

When The Act on the Use of Electronic Document in Criminal Justice Procedures is fully implemented in 2024, it is expected that full-fledged electronic litigation will be possible in criminal procedures. The scope of application of The Act on the Use of Electronic Document in Criminal Justice Procedures is limited to criminal justice affairs, but in the long run, it will expand to the macroscopic perspective of digitalization and intelligent informatization of overall criminal justice services. However, even if the law or system is established, there may be various expected problems in the process of operation. To this end, in this paper, first of all, the obstacles to the activation of Legal Tech, which is the environmental basis of electronic criminal proceedings, were examined. After confirming the specific aspects of the litigation, we examined the points where the electronic criminal proceedings can function or expand in the trial process In this paper, first of all, the fundamental cause of the lack of discussion on Legal Tech, which can be the environmental basis of electronic criminal proceedings, was identified. While accepting legal tech, such as intelligent information technology, the author raised issues such as our still conservative legal system and practices, information accessibility of personal information, and intellectual property rights infringement. Next, as a supplementary point for the success of electronic criminal proceedings, a plan to resolve the reluctance of those involved in the case in electronic criminal proceedings and a plan to prevent abuse of accumulated data were presented. Next, in the introduction process by stage of litigation, it was ordered to improve the system considering the difference in digital literacy in the process of submitting litigation documents, the issue of equality in the process of distributing electronic documents, and legislative overhaul for exceptions to the provision of service. On the other hand, the implementation of the Criminal Procedure Electronic Documents Act provides significant implications for e-discovery. In the disclosure of evidence, the practice of written caution will be overcome, and various problems raised in the academic world in relation to the refusal of the investigation agency to disclose evidence will be resolved. It will be possible to examine the adequacy of the reason for refusal by the investigative agency, and in particular, it will be possible to secure the binding force of the court's order to disclose evidence and prepare a separate regulation so that the investigative agency cannot refuse the order to disclose evidence. In addition, in this paper, we also looked at the possibility of using intelligent information technology in determining the verifiable power or reliability of electronic remote statements and statements that can be used in courts.

Authors: Raja A
Published: August 2023

Anchors made of stone, wood or metal played a significant role in marine history. They have been used as protection material for ships in ports and as a means of establishing maritime relations with other countries. A variety of anchors used in passenger ships, cargo ships, and warships around the world have been discovered by marine researchers. Stone anchors were initially introduced in India and iron anchors after the arrival of the Europeans. Since then iron anchors have been developed and used in various parts of India. Ancient stone anchors and later iron anchors have been found especially on the east coast of Tamil Nadu. Such anchors are a testament to man’s maritime ability and knowledge in ancient times. Such anchors are on display at the Tamil University Museum, Thanjavur. In that sense this article describes the maritime technique and maritime history that the Tamils knew for commercial purposes in ancient times.

People have migrated throughout human history. It seems that the reasons for this migration have changed over time. Based on that, there have been successive migrations such as the Sangam migrations due to education, war and trade and the arrival of religious preachers. But literary works describing the problems faced by migrant Tamils in the workplace due to slavery and poverty and unemployment during the colonial period are rarely found. Notable among them is the novel ‘Siam Death Train’ which depicts the plight of Tamils taken for work. This novel changes it in the Tamil literature which only knows the migration of Eelam Tamils and highlights that Tamils migrated before the migration of Eelam Tamils and faced various problems and crises.

Waste is divided into several groups, including medical, hazardous, municipal, biodegradable, industrial, and inert waste. Both the waste producer and its owners have many obligations imposed upon them by the appropriate standards and laws in force in each country. Waste classification and segregation have many benefits, including less environmental pollution; improved living conditions for plants, animals, and humans, and the ability to obtain better raw materials for recycling through segregation. In this study, waste classification and separation systems are assessed. Waste classification method that considers the source, basic composition, and physical, chemical, and biological properties of the waste. Manual, mechanical, and optical systems were used to separate the waste. Nowadays, smart waste classification and segregation systems are being developed for automation. They separate mixed waste effectively. It is a very modern and efficient method that requires less work to function properly than basic waste classification and segregation methods. It is also a faster, more professional method that avoids incorrect sorting of waste. It can be called a future-oriented way of waste disposal and should gradually be introduced into our civilization. Examples of this technology include smart bins, automatic bottle vending machines, and automatic segregation/sorting. Solving the waste classification and separation problem is one of the issues that need special attention in the coming years. The constant development of technology related to this topic is a staple of the circular economy.
A ESCRITA DO ÍCONE TRINDADE DE RUBLEV
Authors: Leonel Guilherme , Fernandes Márcio Luiz
Published: August 2023

Este trabalho trata da escrita do ícone da Trindade de Rublev, enfocando a espiritualidade, a sinodalidade e a koinonia (comunhão). Tal consideração se justifica pela atualidade do tema e pela compreensão eclesial do Papa Francisco sobre como a sinodalidade revela um modus eclesial servidor e comunitário. O objetivo deste estudo é, num primeiro momento descrever a experiência de composição (escrita) do ícone no processo iconocopista e, num segundo momento, direcionar a reflexão para a caminhada sinodal proposta pelo Papa Francisco, tão evidenciada no ambiente teológico e eclesial atual e as possíveis relações dessa maneira de ser Igreja com o ícone da Santíssima Trindade. Trata-se de uma pesquisa indutiva-dedutiva e de revisão bibliográfica. Indutiva pois observa um conjunto de conhecimentos ligados a temática da Iconografia enfocando a Trindade de Rublev, formulam-se hipóteses e explicações sobre a questão, que culminam em enunciados que compreendem à tradição da Igreja; ao passo que o caminho contrário também é percorrido – o modus sinodal, que pertence a tradição da Igreja, mas que possuí dificuldades de aplicação, em face das hipóteses, que culminam na obra Trindade de Rublev. Os movimentos indutivo e dedutivo acontecem reciprocamente. O método empírico também compõe este trabalho no que tange a produção da peça física do ícone: escolha e preparo da tábua, escolha dos materiais, uso de pigmentos naturais, preparação da têmpera de ovo, oração, meditação, benção e unção da peça com o óleo do crisma. O estudo evidenciou que a espiritualidade dos ícones é um rico caminho, ainda pouco conhecido no universo eclesial latino e que precisa ser explorado e difundido. Além da reflexão teórica o estudo sobre o ícone da Trindade de Rublev resultou na própria elaboração de uma peça física – escrita do ícone e seu processo técnico, tendo como resultado a possibilidade da escrita concreta de um ícone em sintonia e diálogo com a realidade cultural curitibana. O ícone da Trindade de Rublev é indubitavelmente por excelência um referencial para o caminho sinodal, pois nele mesmo estão sintetizados os valores da comunhão e da disponibilidade desinteressada da vida cristã.
O ESTILO GÓTICO E A VIA PULCHRITUDINIS
Authors: Minchilo Bruno Quinaud
Published: August 2023

O presente trabalho tem como principal objetivo, através de uma concisa exposição acerca do simbolismo anagógico e da estética luminosa do estilo gótico, estabelecer a sua relação com a Via-Pulchritudinis, caminho da beleza, retomada em documento homólogo pelo Conselho Pontifício para a Cultura em 2006. Busca-se compreender o contexto, a cosmovisão e as influências que conduziram o precursor do estilo, Abade Suger de Saint-Denis, na reforma da primeira igreja gótica, bem como o fundamento de sua visão estética e simbólica. Como a arquitetura da abadia, os ornamentos e o programa iconográfico apontam para uma estrutura sistemática de doutrinas metafísicas e teológicas, procura-se atestar a íntima relação entre a metafísica da luz, do Pesudo-Dionísio e o simbolismo da obra, principalmente através dos vitrais, que inundavam a igreja com a luz divina. Por conseguinte, tenta-se compreender a beleza e o simbolismo no pensamento medievo, presentes no estilo gótico, como esses se fundamentam desde sempre nos Sacramentos, sobretudo na Sagrada Eucaristia. Observar o seu valor perene, que se estende e se relaciona aos fiéis do contexto atual, compreendendo, assim, a via da beleza. Por fim, ressalta-se que essa via não é única, mas em harmonia com outros caminhos, ilumina e eleva o homem à Verdade. Esse trabalho despende especial atenção ao estilo gótico sabendo que, sem aspirar a recuperação da ideia de uma idade de ouro da liturgia ou arquitetura, o empenho deve estar na criação de belas e atemporais obras sacras.
