Authors: Nurul Nurul Aini , Djatmika  , Sumarlam  , Diah Kristina
Published: September 2022

Rosi talk show was a conversation program that presented Indonesian politics with supporting and opposing government arguments. The objectives were to find expressive acts and to explain how expressive acts performed negative politeness in the Rosi talk show. The theories used politeness strategy by Brown and Levinson (1987) on negative politeness in expressive act by Searle (1975) by the moderator. This study used qualitative content analysis, and the location was YouTube Channel KompasTV. The data were the moderator utterances involving expressive acts representing negative politeness. This research was a purposive sampling technique focussing on three segments in ‘student’s demonstration and Ade Armando percussion’. The data collection technique was free to engage in conversation to transcribe data audio into written, and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was used to know the moderator's politeness tendencies. This study used an interactive method by Miles&Huberman (1992) to conclude. The result showed 18 expressive acts with six sub-strategy of negative politeness. Then, seven expressive speech acts: thanking, apologising, blaming, praising, showing sympathy, and accusing. Next, the dominant moderators’ expressive act was blaming. While there are four sub-negative politeness strategies: indirect, making pessimism, minimising impositions, and apologising. The researcher found that negative politeness strategies were realised with expressive acts using suspecting to interact with pros participants.

The dynastic political elites are those individuals who are descendants of the major political party. In the case of Pakistan, it is the PPP and PML (N), both political parties PPP and PML (N) has increased its campaign-led behavior by citing the leadership charisma of the people, party identity and economic and educational reforms in party manifesto. During the years 1988-2013, only two parties were associated with Pakistan electoral system including PMLN and PPP who took control of the assembly by winning the election. The paper aims to highlight the circumstances in which the people vote for the electoral party during the election. The broader interpretive research design was used to collect data from 30 voters, i.e. 10 voters of PPP, 10 voters of PML-N and 10 voters of other parties who casted their votes during the elections of 1988 to 2013. The findings of the study suggest that party age and political socialization played vital role in determining the voters’ affiliation with the party. However, respondents found unclear while reporting their party choices for the elections of 2018. Keywords: Dynastic Political Elites, Election Campaign, Party Manifesto, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN), Pakistan Tehrek-e-Insaf (PTI).

Published: September 2022

The aim of the present investigation was to develop, validate and compare a UV spectrophotometric and a high performance liquid chromatography method for estimating Ticagrelor in bulk and tablet dosage form. Spectrophotometry and high performance liquid chromatography were carried out using standard instrumental parameters, which were optimized. Both methods were validated in terms of linearity, accuracy, precision, robustness, ruggedness and stability according to the ICH guidelines. The optimized ratio of mobile phase in high performance liquid chromatography under low pressure gradient mode was 30:70 % v/v of acetonitrile:glacial acetic acid 1 % , which provide a sharp peak with a short retention time of 3.910 minutes. In UV spectrophotometric analysis iso-propyl alcohol as a solvent gave adequate molar absorptivity at a λmax of 306 nm. Results indicated that both UV spectrophotometric and high performance liquid chromatography methods were linear, precise, accurate, rugged and robust with RSD values less than 2 % and percent recovery was within the standard limits (90-110 %). Both the methods were found to be statistically non-significant at 95 % confidence intervals (p<0.05) with respect to each other. The proposed methods were found to be highly effective and could be used for quantification of Ticagrelor in bulk and a tablet formulations for routine analysis.

利用機器學習建立西行侵臺颱風定量降水預報品質客觀指引之初步研究
Authors: 陳鑫澔 陳鑫澔 , Shin-Hau Chen 王重傑
Published: September 2022

颱風降雨是臺灣重要的水資源，卻也是主要的致災因素。因此，颱風預報的良莠與改善都十分重要。自發展數值天氣預報以來，不論是單一決定性預報或多成員系集預報，一個難解的問題，是個別預報均有其不確定性，因此該預報情境發生的機率高低，在事前無法得知、或至少無從確定。因此，隨著人工智慧的發展，本研究建構與測試一機器學習模型，在事前提供客觀預報指引，以幫助吾人判別每個颱風預報降水情境的可信度，藉以改善預報。確切而言，本研究使用2.5-km雲解析風暴模式，對10個西行準侵臺颱風每6 h的八天差時系集預報結果，選取共105個預報參數，以機器學習模型針對預報颱風在影響期間 (中心距離臺灣陸地在300 km以內) 總累積降雨的相似性技術得分 (Similarity Skill Score，簡稱SSS) 進行預估。此得分由本文定義與使用，其值的高低與該雨量預報的可信度 (即參考價值) 成正比。所有評估的預報，其初始時間的颱風中心均尚未靠近臺灣到300 km以內，因此期限多在短期預報以外 (>72 h)。

由此10個颱風個案的評估結果顯示，在大多數的情況下，機器學習對逐次預報所預估的SSS值，的確可以適當掌握未來真實SSS的上升下降趨勢，亦即提早告訴吾人，那些預報的可信度較高、那些可信度較低，而在事前提供有效的客觀預報指引。在本研究裡，當預估SSS的50百分位數達0.6以上時，其實際SSS有71%也大於0.6，而颱風行進方向的修正也有71%是正確的。特別對在前置時間長、不確定性高的預報初期，提高其參考價值。但是，因機器學習可視為複雜的統計方法，當某個颱風的行為與大部分輸入訓練的資料相左時，其效果也會受到限制，對此，本文提出了幾個可能的改進方向。

 

Typhoon rainfall is both an important water resource and potential disaster in Taiwan, so its forecast quality and improvement are important. An issue of all numerical weather predictions, regardless deterministic or ensemble, is that whether its scenario will occur or its exact probability, is not known in advance. Nowadays, this issue may be solved through artificial intelligence. In this study, therefore, we have developed and tested a model through machine learning that provides objective guidance to indicate the credibility of each quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPFs) for typhoons once it is made and thus help improve forecasts. Specifically, time-lagged forecasts (out to 8 days) every 6 h for 10 westward-moving typhoons affecting Taiwan by the 2.5-km Cloud-Resolving Storm Simulator (CReSS) are used. A total of 105 parameters are selected from each forecast and data from nine typhoons are fed into the learning model to, after training, predict the similarity skill score (SSS) of total accumulated rainfall during the period when the storm moves within 300 km from Taiwan in each of the forecasts for the tenth typhoon. As a measure to the overall quality of the QPFs, the predicted SSS thus serves as guidance for forecast credibility. At the initial time of forecasts included, the typhoon center is still at least 300 km away, so many are at ranges beyond the short range (＞72 h).

Results from these 10 cases indicate that the machine learning model can capture the tendency of the actual SSS (computed using observed rainfall) for most cases, thereby informing the forecasters which QPFs are more trustworthy and which other ones are less so before the event. Such guidance is especially valuable at longer lead time, when the forecast uncertainty is relatively high, and thus our results are highly encouraging. Nevertheless, as machine learning can be viewed as a complicated statistical technique, when certain typhoon behaves differently from those that serve as the training data, the outcome would be less useful. Some possible directions for further improvement are also offered and discussed.

Authors: Chozas Merryl Joyce , Cuenca Zenaida
Published: September 2022

The main purpose of the study was to test the effectiveness of the learner’s intervention booklet (LIB) in improving the skills in handicrafts of grade 7 students through descriptive-experimental research design. The data were gathered from thirty (30) struggling students as purposively chosen respondents using survey questionnaire and LIB. The results showed that the LIB was effective because there was an increase in the scores of the students in their practice tasks and assessments. Furthermore, there is no significant difference between the first assessment and second assessment scores after the use of the two intervention booklets. This clearly indicates that the utilization of the LIB resulted to a significant improvement in the skills of Grade 7 struggling students. Thus, this study concludes the use of the LIB be sustained. Therefore, TLE teachers advocate for the development of learners’ intervention materials not only in handicraft but also in other areas of TLE. The intervention materials can be given on the planned date, and the intervention can be offered immediately after each class. The teacher has to recognize the struggling students so that the remediation is given in a timely and effective manner.

Published: September 2022

Emotional abused is said to be hard to detect because of its covert nature, but it can cause in developing different psychological problems in later life. This study aimed to investigate the relationship of emotional abuse to the psychological well-being of the college students, specifically those who are enrolled in one of the universities in Laguna. An online survey was distributed through social media platforms which was completed by a total of 205 respondents (60 males and 145 females). The study revealed that the family is the greatest contributor to emotional abuse followed by the community. The forms of emotional abuse experienced by the students were being compared, silent treatment, forced to be okay, and situations leading to questioning own worth and achievements. However, participant’s level of psychological well-being was still at a moderate level. Respondent’s profile as to emotional abuse and to psychological well-being were rejected for significant relationship in some variables. Meanwhile, emotional abuse is significant to the psychological well-being of college students. Further studies are needed to identify the other causes of emotional abuse and its preventative measures, and other factors that affect the psychological well-being of students.

Published: September 2022

In Tanzania, sisal is a good source of income and employment to many rural residents whose livelihoods depend on agriculture. For many years, Tanzania has been promoting sisal industry especially small scale farmers’ participation in the sisal industry. One of the important disease threatening sisal production is bole rot, a disease that is associated with fungus of Aspergillus species. This study aimed to determine farmer’s level of awareness regarding occurrence, prevalence and management of bole rot disease. Interview administrated questionnaire was employed to obtain both qualitative and quantitative data from 71 small scale farmers and three sisal estates from the three major sisal growing wards in different agro-ecologies of Muheza district. Data was collected using Open Data Kit (ODK) Collect v2021.2.3 tool and inputted using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS 20) software, transformed using Arcsine and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Pearson product moment correlation was used to find the relationship between selected demographic variables, production practices and farmers level of awareness on bole rot disease. The study revealed that, majority of the sisal farmers had moderate level of awareness regarding sisal bole rot disease. All the selected demographic variables and many production variables were found to have significant relationship with farmer’s level of awareness on bole rot disease. The results also revealed that majority of the sisal farmers are relying on their fellow sisal farmer’s and extension officers to obtain information on sisal production. Campaigns are needed to improve farmers’ awareness on sisal bole rot disease through public awareness and capacity building to extension officers.

The lipid content in soybean grain can be influenced by environmental characteristics, pod positioning, and plant population. However, the objective is to evaluate the percentage of soybean lipids in different plant positions in populations of two crops, in the southern region of the state of ParÃ¡. In this sense, two tests were carried out, one in the agricultural year 2018/19 and the other in 2020/21, in ConceiÃ§Ã£o of the Araguaia-PA. The experimental design used in each assay was randomized blocks with three replications. The treatments were arranged in plots sub-sub-sub-Subdivided, being allocated in the plots six cultivars, in the subplots three sowing densities (10; 14; 18 seeds m-1) and the sub-sub-two plots sites in the plant (on top and in the bottom third). The characteristic studied was the percentage of lipids. Individual variance analysis was performed and, later, joint analysis of the assays was performed. The highest averages of lipid contents were obtained in the lower third of the plant, with emphasis on the cultivars Ultra 75i77 IPRO, in the density of 18 seeds m-1 (24.3% crop 1 and 24.1% in the crop 2). The densities influenced the results, showing significant differences between them and being the best density of (18 seeds m-1). When the grains were collected in the lower third of the plant, they showed the highest lipid contents. Crop 1 was affected by the high temperature followed by a water deficit in the grain filling phase, showing that in November in southern ParÃ¡ you can get summer in the R5.1.

Soil fertility is the function of nutrient availability in the soil. Soil properties and crop production are liable to change due to continuous cropping with long term fertilization. Correlation study is used for the study of available nutrients of agricultural soil with yield of crops. The objective of this study is to investigate the correlation between soils available nutrients and the yield of rice. The long term effect of fertilizers and manures on response of rice-wheat cropping rotation and changes in physical and chemical properties of sandy loam Typic Calciorthents was stated during rabi 1988-89 in split plot design with three replication. Four levels of chemical fertilizer were taken as main plot treatment and four levels of organic sources on nutrients were taken as sub plot treatments. The results showed that integrated use of compost and crop residue either alone or in combination of inorganic sources of nutrients augmented higher build of soil available nutrients. Soil available N, P, P2O5, K2O and S were positively and significantly correlated and available Zn and B were negatively correlated with yield of rice crop.

The fungi from mangrove habitats are the immense source for biologically active secondary metabolites with therapeutic potential. The objective of the present study is to screen the potent fungi from mangrove sediments that could produce secondary metabolites active against pathogenic microbes. Soil samples collected from mangrove regions of Adavuladeevi, South coast of Andhra Pradesh, India were employed for isolation of fungi using serial dilution plate technique. To isolate fungi, three media viz. Czapek-Dox agar, potato-dextrose agar and Sabouraud-dextrose agar media supplemented with 2% sodium chloride were used. 18 fungal strains isolated from the samples were designated as VJCH-1 to VJCH-18 and evaluated for antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. Among them, VJCH-18 showed broad spectrum of antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. The strain was cultured in Sabouraud-dextrose broth to record growth phases. Ethyl acetate extract of culture broth was active against bacteria (Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris) and fungi (Candida albicans). The strain exhibited significant antioxidant activity against DPPH free radicals. Characterization of the strain was performed based on cultural, morphological and genomic characteristics using 18s r RNA sequencing and identified as Ascotricha sinuosa VJCH-18 (GenBank accession number: MK463994). The study suggested that fungi from unexplored mangrove habitats of South coast of Andhra Pradesh serve as a source for antimicrobial and antioxidant compounds.

Background: The detection of fungal components in clinical specimens using direct microscopy in conjunction with culture-based full identification is the basis for dermatophyte identification. Physiological, macro-morphological, and micro-morphological parameters are used to identify colonies phenotypically. In recent years, it has been shown that molecular methods are useful for classifying dermatophyte species. Methods: Fifty samples that were taken from human cases of tinea corporis were examined mycologically. Phenotypic techniques were used to identify isolated dermatophytes. Internal transcribed spacer (ITS) PCR amplification was used for molecular identification. Using a specific primer, PCR was utilized to analyze the 18S rRNA gene in fungal isolates and the genes for virulence factors. Results: Out of Fifty samples with tinea corporis infections identified. Among them, which 3species were identified distribution to 26 cases Trichophyton mentagrophytes with a percentage of 52%, was the most frequently isolated dermatophyte 12 cases Trichophyton rubrum with a percentage 24% and 12 cases Microsporum canis with a percentage 24%. PCR product analysis of the 18S rRNA gene in dermatophytes isolates showed that all dermatophytes ssp. 100% were positive for 18S rRNA gene they obtained dermatophyte isolates (n=50) as follows: 26 Trichophyton mentagrophytes 12 Trichophyton rubrum, 12 Microsporum canis.

Introduction: Lingual orthodontics grew slowly in North America in the 1980s as orthodontists grappled with the lingual technique, which needed distinct treatment planning and a different approach to biomechanics, as well as ergonomics and treatment efficacy difficulties. The early excitement of lingual orthodontic treatment faded with the discovery of "tooth-colored" labial brackets manufactured from single-crystal sapphire and later from ceramics, and much of the improvement of lingual orthodontics occurred outside the United States. Removable orthodontic aligners, rather than lingual braces, have become the treatment option for patients seeking invisible orthodontics with the introduction. The present work focuses of digital analysis and evaluation of angulation between labial & lingual surface of crown of each anterior tooth and lingual curvature for the development of pre adjusted lingual bracket system. Material & Methods: Sample consists of 100 dental cast (maxillary & mandible) and 100 CBCT scans made at Santosh Dental College, Ghaziabad which were selected on the basis of Angle’s Class I molar relationship without any crowding, rotation, attrition, abrasion, erosion, abfraction & anomaly on any tooth with the patient age group between 16 years to 20 years. CBCT scans were taken by KODAK 9500 Cone Beam 3D System (Carestream Health, Inc.

Published: September 2022

Penetration-aspiration is the most serious complication in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) after radiotherapy. Radiotherapy has been shown to increase the patient's survival rate and life expectancy but it showed serious side effects such as oropharyngeal dysphagia. It’s related morbidity and mortality such as penetration-aspiration could progress to aspiration pneumonia, sepsis, and death if not treated properly. Factors suspected to be the determinants of penetration-aspiration were the location of the pharyngeal residue, the stage of NPC, and the time after radiotherapy. This primary objective of this study was to determine the clinical factors of penetration-aspiration in patients with NPC after radiotherapy. In a cross sectional, observational analytic study, a total of 24 patients were obtained with consecutive sampling technique. Fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) examination was performed on patients with NPC after radiotherapy to assess pharyngeal residue and penetration-aspiration. The Yale Pharyngeal Residue Severity Rating Scale (YPR-SRS) and the Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS) was used to assess the presence of pharyngeal residue and penetration-aspiration, respectively. Statistical analysis used multiple logistic regression (p<0,05) and Wald statistics to find a stronger relationship between variables.

Background Locomotive syndrome (LS) is due to locomotive organ disorders which decrease mobility function, especially in the elderly. LS interferes with physical activity and is decreased in the elderly which could potentially decrease muscle strength. Hand grip strength (HGS) has been associated with overall strength and lower limb strength, but its correlation with physical activity in LS is unknown. Objectives This study aims to analyze the correlation between physical activity and HGS in elderly with LS. Methods 44 elderly were screened with Indonesian version of the Loco-check, a screening tool for LS. Physical activity was assessed with Indonesian version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire – Short Form and HGS was assessed with a digital hand dynamometer respectively. The correlation between physical activity and HGS with Loco-check were analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. Results Significant correlation were found between physical activity with Loco-check in question number six (p = 0.027) and seven (p = 0.006), with a correlation coefficient of 0.333 and 0.407 respectively. No correlation was found between HGS with Loco-check, neither between physical activity with HGS. Conclusion There are positive correlations between physical activity and LS.

Antrochoanal polyp (ACP) are benign lesions that originate from the mucosa of the maxillary sinus, and extend into the nasal cavity to reach the choana and nasopharynx. The treatment of ACP is surgical, endoscopic medial maxillectomy (EMM) is one of the options for surgical therapy. ACP generally affects adolescents but in this case by adults. To report and analyze ACP in adult patient with EMM technique. A 45-year-old man with an ACP completely removed by EMM technique. The evidence-based literature regarding the ACP, their management, and its complications were conducted on the Pubmed Medline, PMC and Google Scholar database. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, two studies were found relevant to our case. From sources in two journals, both are retrospective studies with the ACP completely removed with endoscopic medial maxillectomy technique and the other is a retrospective descriptive study. Complete ACP removal with the EMM technique. There was no complications during and after surgery and we had no recurrences during the control period.

To analyze if the inclusion and exclusion system in our society is fair. A few bodies born with a different design, unlike the majority are brought under the category of the ‘disabled.’ It has been a human tendency from time immemorial to keep such people hidden or shied away. Such individuals are devoid of the daily lifestyle of the ordinary people. This isolation leaves a great impact on the physical and mental growth of the individual resulting in further damages in the personality. Socialization becomes lesser or completely barred. Hence such individuals are born, live and die in seclusion. The human inclination of stereotyping them has always resulted in the denial of their rights. Martin creates a reflection of society with many disabled characters and how they are treated. The central characters like Bran, Tyrion and Jamie and others as Varys, Hodor, Maester Aemon, Shireen, Patch face, Ghost etc. all are with limited biological functions and are treated differently. In the present paper, the researcher makes a study on this attitude of the society and weigh the justification for the same. Ironically, almost all these characters prove to have their own ingenuity in their lives. Some even prove to be abler than their respective counterparts. So, the question is “should they be kept in seclusion?” Can the inclination of the world to isolate them be justified? Does the world belong only to the majority “Normals?” This paper concludes that it is not. The world cannot be complete without them as it possesses a heterogenous population demanding equal inclusion of every category.

Contemporarily, analyst following and inefficient investment are the general concern of the company’s management, which is necessary to investigate the relationship between them. We select 2012-2017 Chinese A-share listed companies as the research object to obtain sample data, design a regression model which contains seven variables and use Stata software to analysis it, get the impact of analyst following on corporate inefficient investment. Based on the analysis, analyst following will reduce the level of corporate inefficient investment, which is still valid after a series of robustness tests. Besides, the results of heterogeneity analysis show that the impact of analyst following on corporate inefficiency investment is more obvious in companies with high leverage and low audit quality. This article provides suggestions for corporate governance and has practical significance for improving the level of enterprise resource allocation.

Authors: Chen Jiahao , Fan Zhelin , Guo Yinhan
Published: September 2022

Idiosyncratic risk of listed firms has attracted the attention of a series of researchers. Using the data of A-share listed firms in the Shanghai Stock Exchange and Shenzhen Stock Exchange, we examine the impact of equity incentives on listed firms’ idiosyncratic risks. Based on the panel regression model and fixed effects model, we find that the degree of equity incentives is positively correlated with idiosyncratic risk. This correlation is robust to a series of robustness checks including the use of alternative samples and the inclusion of some possibly omitted variables. Further analysis shows that equity incentives would not infect the idiosyncratic risk of SOE companies, but have a significant and positive impact on the idiosyncratic risk of non-SOE companies; the impact of equity incentives is more pronounced to the firms with better corporate governance, which have Big-4 auditors and more analysts. These findings provide support to the notion that equity incentive is positively associated with corporate idiosyncratic risk.

Published: September 2022

COVID-19 affects the supply and demand of funds in the financial market, leads to great uncertainty in the capital market, and causes the concern of interest rate risk of commercial banks. Therefore, it is necessary to figure out how to eliminate loss and negative effects on the capital market. In this paper, we will study the interest rate risk of China’s commercial banks through theoretical analysis and empirical analysis. We will use the F-W duration model and the commercial bank’s 2019 and 2020 annual report data to make some empirical analysis. Our analysis reflects the degree of interest rate risk affected by COVID-19 in China's commercial banks. We find that ICBC had interest rate risk both before and after the epidemic, but interest rate risk was rather less after being affected by the epidemic. Finally, we also explored the detailed mechanism for the decrease of interest risk.
