A deep learning-based prognostic framework for aeroengine exhaust gas temperature margin
Authors: Fu W. , Tan X. , Ao L. , Fu Y. , Guo P.
Published: May 2023

The value of the gas-path parameter, exhaust gas temperature margin (EGTM), is the critical index for predicting aeroengine performance degradation. Accurate predictions help to improve engine maintenance, replacement schedules, and flight safety. The outside air temperature (OAT), altitude of the airport, the number of flight cycles, and water washing information were chosen as the sample input variables for the data-driven prognostic model for predicting the take-off EGTM of the on-wing engine. An attention-based deep learning framework was proposed for the aeroengine performance prediction model. Specifically, the multiscale convolutional neural network (CNN) structure is designed to initially learn sequential features from raw input data. Subsequently, the long short-term memory (LSTM) structure is employed to further extract the features processed by the multiscale CNN structure. Furthermore, the proposed attention mechanism is adopted to learn the influence of features and time steps, assigning different weights according to their importance. The actual operation data of the aeroengine are used to conduct experiments, where the experimental results verify the effectiveness of our proposed method in EGTM prediction.
Institutionalizing University-Business Innovation Systems in an Innovation Economy
Authors: Magumba David
Published: May 2023

The purpose, design and operation of universities and institutions of higher learning are being transformed. The transformations are requiring universities to lead the process of innovation. Collaboration with stakeholders is accelerated through innovation ecosystems that are functional in some universities. Innovation hubs are powerhouses of innovations at the apex of science and technological advancement. Traditional university designs have their strength in pure science but limit interdisciplinary integration and innovation. Government, private sector and philanthropists are key funders of innovation projects. Universities with a central role in the national and global innovation system exhibit varying impact, a few have exceedingly succeeded in this endeavor and innovation systems are avenues to have national and regional impact. A university is a place of discovery where academics, researchers, government, students, community and companies work together in an innovation ecosystem to develop solutions and products that have an impact on our society. Institutionalizing innovation laboratories is a winning strategy for powering science-led economies.

MOOC as an Alternative for Teaching and Learning During Covid-19 Pandemic: Students’ Motivation and Demotivation
Authors: Adara Reza Anggriyashati
Published: May 2023

Covid-19 pandemic has forced educators and students to use online learning instead of real-life classrooms. One of the learning platforms that seems to be popularly used during the pandemic is MOOC (Massive Open Online Course). The present study aims to analyze the motivation dan demotivation factors of Indonesian EFL learners toward MOOC by using a qualitative descriptive method. In order to obtain the results, ten respondents were interviewed. The interview results were transcribed and analyzed using NVivo software. Based on the present research’s findings, despite relatively positive attitudes toward MOOCs shown by the majority of respondents, the respondents were demotivated by MOOCs because they can get easily distracted when learning through MOOCs, they get lack feedback from tutors and peers and unreliable internet connections. However, the respondents are motivated to join MOOCs because MOOCs provide diverse subjects, encourage students to be autonomous, and provide effective and flexible learning. The results suggest that MOOCs can be an effective alternative for EFL teaching and learning during the pandemic but MOOCs need to be provided with better interaction between students and tutors to reduce students’ demotivation and encourage more positive attitudes as well as motivation.

Authors: Amrullah Romanda Annas
Published: May 2023

Public sector human resources, more widely known as civil servants (PNS) are of particular concern to various ministries and the general public, due to their involvement in political activities, and despicable actions to radicalism activities, civil servants should be able to become role model for the community due to their status as state servants this is based on the rules that apply to the ASN code of ethics. Unfortunately, this is counterproductive to their function and role as public services. This research aims to find out what causes civil servants easily influenced by radical actions and provide solutions for how to prevent this. This research used descriptive qualitative methods to describe a social phenomenon happening right now. The results showed that the public sector resources involved in political activities committed despicable acts to be exposed to radicalism for providing wrong information as we already know that in 2019 There are at least five ASN suspected of being exposed to radicalism. Integrating the theory of selective exposure, the theory of identity, and social transmission. This research resulted in the concept of a novel model of Isolation Group Behavior (private selective, Internal Radicalism Prevention for States Civil Servants or ASN with Selective Information). The application of isolation group behavior can improve human resources in the public sector so they become role models for public society

Authors: Franky Franky , Budiman Thomas
Published: May 2023

As a source of the learning process, a teacher is expected to understand and be aware of the learning style of their students. Every student has a unique learning style. Some students prefer to auditory style, other students prefer to visual style, and another student may prefer the kinesthetic style. These are a few teaching styles, sensing– feeling (people-oriented), sensing–thinking (outcome-oriented), intuitive–feeling (intellectually oriented), and intuitive–thinking (innovation-oriented). This study aims to evaluate the correlation pattern between students’ learning styles and several teaching styles. The sample of this study is 133 senior high school students in Jakarta. The method used in this study is correspondence analysis. The result of this study shows that students with auditory type suit to the intuitive–thinking method and students with visual type suit to sense–the feeling method. Meanwhile, students with kinesthetic type have not suitable for any teaching method if the analysis is conducted by using correspondence analysis. Nevertheless, observation of the mean of the teaching method score has shown that it suits to the intuitive–feeling method
Board Capital, CEO Power and Investment Efficiency of Firms listed in Nairobi Securities Exchange in Kenya
Authors: Tarus John Kipngetich
Published: May 2023

The paper's main aim was to determine the moderating effect of chief executive officer (CEO) power on the relationship between board capital and investment efficiency of listed firms in the Nairobi Securities Exchange. The study adopted a longitudinal, and 10 years of panel data was obtained using documentary analysis from audited financial statements of 33 listed firms consistently trading in the Nairobi Securities Exchange between 2012 and 2021. The hierarchical Fixed model was used to test the moderating effect. Results revealed that board financial expertise and interlock positively affected the investment efficiency of listed firms. The effect of board interlock on investment efficiency is more profound for firms with powerful CEO. However, CEO power did not moderate the relationship between the board's financial expertise on the investment efficiency of listed firms. The study was limited to firms listed in the Nairobi securities exchange. However, future research should be replicated beyond East Africa. Again, this study utilizes CEO power as a moderator, and other studies should consider other variables.

Determination of Total Phenolic Content, Antioxidant and Monophenolase Inhibition Activities of Carica papaya Peel Extracts in Solvents with Different Polarity
Authors: Athirah Zakaria Nur Izzati
Published: May 2023

Dysregulation of melanin production that is catalyzed by an enzyme known as tyrosinase may lead to skin hyperpigmentation. Even though fruit peels are often regarded as waste product, they can be a good source of phytochemicals with potent biological activities that can be utilized to inhibit tyrosinase and reduce hyperpigmentation. This study was carried out to determine the phenolic content, antioxidant and monophenolase inhibition activities of Carica papaya (C. papaya) peel extracts prepared using three solvents with different polarity; ethanol, ethyl acetate and petroleum ether. The total phenolic content was determined according to Folin-Ciocalteu method while the antioxidant and monophenolase inhibition activities of the plant extracts were evaluated using 2,2- diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and tyrosinase inhibitory assays respectively. There was no significant difference in total phenolic content and antioxidant activities of the extracts (p > 0.05). However, the ethanolic extract of C. papaya peel showed the highest phenolic content (0.58 ± 0.19 mg/g) and maximum antioxidant activity (IC50 = 164.27 μg/mL) compared to ethyl acetate and petroleum ether. There was a significance difference in monophenolase inhibition activities of the extracts (p < 0.05). Ethyl acetate extract exhibited excellent monophenolase inhibition activity (82.69 ± 2.57 %) compared to other solvents. Finding of this study can be used for future researches to study the biological activities and elucidate the chemical structure of active compounds involved.

MARILYN CHIN’S REVENGE OF THE MOONCAKE VIXEN AS TEXTUAL SYSTEMIC DESIRING MACHINE
Authors: Manggong Lestari , Kurmelev Anton
Published: May 2023

Marilyn Chin’s one and only novel, Revenge of the Mooncake Vixen (2009), presents highly fragmented narratives that revolve around the lives of three female Chinese Americans of two different generations in the process of reaching their immigrant American dreams. Such narrative characteristics prompt an analysis conducted in this article which parallels the series of maneuvers of the trio with Deleuze & Guattari’s systemic procedure of coup et flux (cut and flow). The aim is to show that the idea of assimilating American dream with the immigrant’s is a complex matter as it involves series of actions that compromise the two. The trio’s mode of action, the presence of textual divine intervention in the narrative fragments, and epigraphs from classical to popular texts encourage an analysis using narrative studies, focusing mainly on plot structure. In the context of negotiating Chinese American culture, this article argues that within the frame of tale of revenge, the process of reaching the immigrant American dream undergoes a series of endless systemic procedure of coup et flux. The negotiation process presented via uncertainty and series of transits in the novel thus causes endlessness that leads to an idea that the dream, the happiness, would never actually reach its definite ending point; it is merely a series of transits.

Published: May 2023

Aquatic food production system raises aquatic organisms including fish, shellfish and seaweeds for human consumption and associated value chains. Moreover, as the global human population continues to expand at a high rate and is expected to reach over 9 billion by 2030, developing a cost-efficient production method is a significant challenge in the future development of the aquatic food production industry to provide food and nutritional security with high-quality animal protein. Recent advancements in biotechnological tools and approaches provided a new toolset that can be used to design and optimize the existing processes such as food preservation, fermentation, packaging, quality control and setting proper guidelines to manufacture and process genetically modified fish. At the same time, with the refinement of technology, these are becoming easier applicable and transferable to several other aquatic species production systems. These trends have resulted in exploiting new and unconventional microbial systems with sophisticated properties, which render promising results in the production industry. Here, we highlight the recent advances in the newly emerging biotechnological technology in the production of fish and fish products and discuss the potential of these tools as a sustainable platform for centuries to come with a significant impact on the aquatic food production industry.

Authors: Sukirmiyadi
Published: May 2023

Background:

The introduction, a crucial component of any research paper, must be well-written so that readers can evaluate its quality. A typical five-paragraph abstract includes an introduction, objective or purpose, methodology, findings/results, and conclusion. However, not all Ph.D. candidates follow this structure and format when writing their abstracts.

Methodology:

The purpose of this study was to identify and describe variations in abstract writing formats and structures among Surabaya state university Ph.D. candidates. Using a qualitative descriptive methodology, the researchers analyzed 15 dissertation abstracts: eight from the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Planning at FTSP-ITS and seven from the Medical Science department at Airlangga University Surabaya. They examined the number of paragraphs and the structure of the abstract in each.

Findings:

The study indicated various abstract structures and writing formats: 40% of the abstracts had three paragraphs, 26.66% had five paragraphs, 20% had four paragraphs, and 13.33% had one paragraph. In terms of abstract structure, 60% lacked a conclusion, 33.33% lacked an objective, 26.66% lacked all five abstract structures, 26.66% lacked both the objective and the conclusion, and 6.66% lacked an introduction.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the study found several variations in dissertation abstract writing formats regarding both paragraph count and abstract structure.

Originality:

The novelty of this study rests in its focus on analyzing variations in abstract writing formats and structures among Surabaya state university Ph.D. candidates. By examining 15 dissertation abstracts from various faculties, this study sheds light on the inconsistencies and deviations from the standard format and structure of abstracts, which may impact readers' ability to comprehend and evaluate research papers.

Combination drugs including antibiotics are frequently used for additional therapeutic effects. This fact raises the need for effective methods to simultaneously determine antibiotics of different classes. In this study, four antibiotics including vancomycin, cefoperazone, sulbactam, and ceftriaxone were determined simultaneously by capillary electrophoresis with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (CE-C4D). The analytical conditions including effective length of silica capillary, background electrolyte solutions, separation voltages, and injection modes are investigated. The selected analytical conditions were: silica capillary (internal diameter 50 μm, total length 60 cm, effective length 30 cm); background electrolyte solution 10 Mm L-arginine/acetic acid (pH 9.2); separation voltage +17 kV; siphoning hydrodynamic sample injection at 10 cm height for 20 s. Limits of detection (LOD) of vancomycin, cefoperazone, sulbactam, and ceftriaxone were 2.0 ppm, 1.5 ppm, 1.0 ppm, and 2.0 ppm, respectively. Good linearity (R2 > 0.999) was achieved for all the target compounds until concentrations as high as 100 ppm. Analytical results of blank-spike samples indicate acceptable recovery (97.5% - 100.4%) and repeatability (RSD: 0.99% - 3.04%). The validated method has been applied to determine these four antibiotics in several pharmaceutical samples. Good agreement between results of our method and the LC-MS/MS method, suggesting CE-C4D is a reliable and cost-effective method in pharmaceutical analysis.

Public service facilities are something that must be owned by a region in order to meet the basic needs of the daily activities of the people in the region. The availability of facilities in an area must be able to serve all activities in the area in order to improve the welfare of the people of the region. In the Regional Regulation of Muaro Jambi Regency No. 28 of 2009 concerning the establishment of the Districts of North Bahar, Sungai Bahar, and South Bahar explains that the division of territory is carried out in Sungai Bahar District in order to distribute facilities in the form of public services.. However, previous research explained that in 2015 after the regional division occurred, public facility services were still not evenly distributed, this was due to the low level of accessibility to facilities. The preparation of this report was carried out to analyze the growth of education and health facilities services that occurred in Sungai Bahar District before and after the expansion of the region. The research method used is a quantitative approach with descriptive and spatial analysis methods by mapping the distribution of public service facilities. The results of the analysis show that the growth of existing facilities is still not evenly distributed in all villages in the study location, measured by the need for availability and distance of affordability by using a reference from SNI 03-1733-2004 on procedures for planning housing environments in urban areas

Total Rewards and Its Influence on Job Satisfaction and Organisational Commitment in Higher Education
Authors: Mabaso Calvin
Published: May 2023

The shortage of academic staff and the inability of higher education institutions to attract and retain highly qualified talent are critical problems in tertiary education. With the aim of addressing these issues, this article investigates the relationship between total rewards, job satisfaction and organisational commitment in higher education institutions in South Africa. A survey design was used in the study that was conducted. The systematic sampling technique was used to obtain the sample (N = 279) from two universities of technology. The measuring instruments used were the Total Rewards Questionnaire based on the World at Work Total Rewards Model, the Job Satisfaction Survey and the Organisational Commitment Questionnaire. Using the SPSS 24 and AMOS 24 software programs, structural equation modelling (SEM) was performed to analyse the data set. The results revealed that some elements of total rewards had a strong relationship with job satisfaction and organisational commitment among academic staff. The contribution of this study was to enhance the comprehension of existing literature on the relationship between the predictor variables (total rewards elements), job satisfaction and organisational commitment. The findings provided evidence that total rewards played a major role in influencing both job satisfaction and organisational commitment in higher education institutions. Therefore, the rewards specialists in universities of technology could apply a total rewards system to maintain, or even promote, academics’ job satisfaction and organisational commitment.
Skills Training in the Informal Sector: Perspectives from Ghana
Authors: Lamptey Yvonne Ayerki , Debrah Yaw A.
Published: May 2023

Youth unemployment is a major concern in sub-Saharan Africa. Unemployment usually results from the lack of appropriate skills to enter the labour market. In Ghana, many enter the informal sector to train for a vocation, but the problem with acquiring skills in the informal sector is that the training is usually informal and unstructured. This article explores the modes of training in the informal sector to find out how the skills provided aid the employability of these workers. It provides empirical evidence to anchor policies on education and institutional policy prescriptions towards effectively equipping the youth with both employable and entrepreneurial skills that promote economic growth in the country. This research adopts a qualitative approach to explore training in the informal sector, and follows the grounded theory process to collect and analyse data. In all, 26 respondents were sampled using the purposive and convenience methods. The findings indicate that training designed for informal workers is not linked to the development agenda of the state, and the institutions are challenged in the execution of their mandates. Some beneficiaries are unable to implement their learning for lack of start-up capital, and they divert to other entrepreneurial activities as a survival strategy. The government needs to plan for the development of entrepreneurial skills in the informal sector, to extend the coverage of this development and to support the industrialisation agenda.

Published: May 2023

Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) is the world’s most extensive social safety programme widely studied for its contribution to achieving poverty alleviation and strengthening the natural base in the country. However, there is a gap in research linking the programme implementation with the national and sub-national development goals, which are crucial to achieving the global goals of sustainable development. This study thus aims to derive district-level insights into MGNREGA implementation, taking Uttarakhand State as an example using spatial analysis tools. Getis-Ord statistic was used to obtain spatial clustering of the works implemented under the programme until 2017. Overlay analysis was synergistically applied on satellite images-based thematic envelopes, viz. land use land cover (LULC) and the terrain, which exerts a latent control on the overall programme implementation besides shaping the local development and planning efforts. The LULC and topography demonstrated a profound impact on the distribution of works in the State. Results obtained show a marked variation in work preference and their spatial clustering in various districts, thus, on the one hand, indicating the demand-driven nature of the programme and, on the other, its alignment with the local developmental needs of the State. The findings might help design fine -tuned plans for the State towards attaining far-reaching social-economic and environmental dividends.

What is mentioned in the famous article by Edmund Gettier
Authors: Kardash A. M.
Published: May 2023

The paper analyzes the problem of interpretations of the Gettier problem. The author draws a distinction between counterexamples presented in Edmund Gettier’s article and Gettier-style cases, between the Gettier problem and general epistemological problem supposedly occurring in all or many Gettier-style cases. It is argued that in Gettier’s article there is a gap associated with an insufficiently defined concept of justification, which does not allow talking about Gettier problem without any explicit or implicit interpretation of his views on justification. Along with this, it is indicated that the same concept of justification has strict features (deductive closure principle, non-factive justification and internalism), which do not allow arbitrary interpretations of the Gettier problem, and therefore we can say that some interpretations are closer to the text of a well-known article.
Política e pluralidade humana em Hannah Arendt: uma introdução ao tema do poder
Authors: Barreto Dias Lucas , Dos Santos Góis Gondim Débora
Published: May 2023

Politics, for Arendt, is linked to action and relationships between human beings, considering speech and discourse as something intrinsic to political action. In this sense, without political action, the subject tends to lose his individuality and his place in the world, as well as distancing himself from human plurality and the public space. Relating the 'individual - action - public space - subjectivity' dynamic, Arendt highlights an extremely important aspect: that of human plurality as related to the notions of equality and distinction. In this conceptual perspective, Arendt's understanding of power always calls into question human plurality and joint action, so that from this arise discourses that are not used to veil intentions, but to unveil realities, where words bring with them a movement of action reverberated with meaning. It is in this injunction that power arises, which, for Arendt, exists when men act together. We aim, therefore, in this text, to expose Arendt's arguments that support his concept of political power in relation to human action and plurality and how this also links us to the world.

Authors: Ruthes Vanessa Roberta Massambani , Stigar Robson
Published: May 2023

This article seeks to analyze the issue of décadence and nihilism, presenting them as a possibility of transvaluation of values. To reach this probable conclusion, we will present the question of Christianity and Western culture as manifestations of décadence; we will analyze nihilism, its characteristics and conceptual types; we will study passive nihilism and the rise of meaninglessness in human consciousness; we will present the active nihilism and the possibility of the transvaluation of values and finally we will present the insertion of the man in the world of the eternal return.

Published: May 2023

Objetivo: Analisar a qualidade de vida de indivíduos com alopecia pós-COVID-19. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo e observacional de caráter quantitativo, composto por 38 indivíduos, de ambos os sexos, com idade entre 18 e 59 anos, pós infecção divididos em: grupo sem alopecia (GSA) e grupo com alopecia (GCA). Após a aprovação do Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa em Seres Humanos, foi utilizada uma ficha de avaliação, criada pelos autores, para traçar o perfil epidemiológico e o questionário SF-36 para avaliar a qualidade de vida. Os dados obtidos passaram por uma análise estatística com o programa Bioestatat 5.3 e a rejeição da hipótese nula foi estabelecida em 5% para obter os resultados pertinentes ao estudo. Resultados: A amostra da pesquisa foi composta por 38 participantes, sendo 19 (GCA) e 19 (GSA). De acordo com a ficha de avaliação preenchida pelos participantes, nenhum precisou de internação em decorrência da COVID-19. Foi observada relevância estatística no domínio vitalidade do questionário SF-36, quando comparado entre os grupos GSA e GCA. Conclusão: Conclui-se que autopercepção de alopecia interfere na qualidade de vida. Entre os domínios da SF-36, vitalidade é a que possui maior relevância.

Objetivo: Apresentar a estruturação de um produto educacional para orientação acerca da prevenção da violência de gênero na relação amorosa de adolescentes. Relato de experiência: A experiência de estruturação do produto educacional foi baseada no Método CTM3: Concepção do produto (C); Referencial Teórico (T) e Referencial Metodológico (M3) fundamentado em 3 teorias, a Análise Transacional através dos Estados de Ego inerentes à personalidade humana, a Multissensorialidade e a Programação Neurolinguística. Os manuais educativos são ferramentas eficientes para educação em saúde e quando com adolescentes, tornam-se instrumentos potentes para o combate às questões de desigualdade de gênero que colocam as meninas em situações mais vulneráveis e, assim, por meio das informações, reduzem seus impactos em níveis de saúde. O estudo para o desenvolvimento do produto foi realizado em três etapas. A primeira foi composta pela seleção da equipe de designs. Na segunda etapa, aplicou-se um questionário sobre o perfil do uso da internet. Na terceira fase, foi traçado um perfil do público e realizou-se a construção do Manual. Considerações finais: O produto educacional construído é uma importante ferramenta na orientação da violência de gênero, assim como contribuirá com a prevenção de futuros relacionamentos violentos.
Gangrena de Fournier: revisão sobre o diagnóstico e a fisiopatologia

Published: May 2023

Objetivo: Descrever a fisiopatologia e o diagnóstico da Gangrena de Fournier (GF). Revisão bibliográfica: Os pacientes com GF, geralmente, desenvolvem infecções de tecidos moles do escroto, regiões perineal e perianal, frequentemente, acompanhadas de edema, eritema, crepitação ou necrose. O fator de risco mais frequente é o Diabetes Mellitus (DM) com uma chance de desenvolver GF três vezes maior. O diagnóstico se dá, principalmente, pela história clínica e exame físico apropriado. Não há exames laboratoriais ou de imagem específicos para o diagnóstico da GF. O tratamento do paciente com GF envolve, essencialmente, a ressuscitação volêmica, a antibioticoterapia de amplo espectro e o desbridamento cirúrgico. Considerações finais: A GF é uma fasciite necrosante rara das regiões perineal, genital ou perianal e que necessita de rápido diagnóstico e tratamento, visto que pode evoluir rapidamente para disfunção de múltiplos órgãos e morte. A apresentação clínica é complexa podendo alterar-se dependendo da progressão da infecção e de características clínicas do paciente. Desse modo, a coleta de uma boa história clínica, a realização de um adequado exame físico e o entendimento da fisiopatologia da doença são fundamentais para o diagnóstico e tratamento precoces, podendo atenuar, assim, a alta taxa de letalidade desta doença.
Abordagem geral das características da Síndrome de Cushing

Published: May 2023

Objetivo: Analisar as características da Síndrome de Cushing (SC). Revisão bibliográfica: A SC é ocasionada pela exposição prolongada a altos níveis circulantes de cortisol. A maioria dos casos de SC é mediada exogenamente, através da administração de glicocorticóides. A SC endógena é muito mais rara e apresenta incidência anual de 3 casos por 1.000.000 de indivíduos. A SC endógena ocorre por mecanismos dependentes ou independentes do hormônio adrenocorticotrofina (ACTH). As características comuns SC incluem depósito de gordura centrípeta, estrias abdominais, pletora facial, atrofia muscular, perda de densidade óssea, imunossupressão e complicações cardiovasculares. Considerações finais: A SC constitui um grave problema de saúde com complicações musculoesqueléticas, cardiovasculares e neuropsiquiátricas. Seu diagnóstico é feito através da suspeição clínica e dos testes de triagem: teste de supressão de 1 mg de dexametasona, cortisol salivar noturno ou alto cortisol urinário livre. A terapêutica de escolha para SC é a ressecção por meio cirúrgico da lesão primária que levou ao excesso do cortisol. Além disso, opções farmacológicas podem ser utilizadas em casos nos quais há contraindicação cirúrgica ou de forma adjuvante ao método operatório.
