Authors:   , Mabindisa Vuyisile
Published: July 2022

This research focuses on the impact of staff turnover on organisational effectiveness and employee performance in the Department of Home Affairs in the Eastern Cape Province. High staff turnover rate may jeopardize efforts to attain organisational objectives. In addition, when an organisation loses a critical employee, there is negative impact on innovation, consistency in providing service to guests may be jeopardized and major delays in the delivery of services to customers may occur. The research design used in this study was the quantitative approach, which allowed the researcher to use structured questionnaires when collecting data. A pilot study was conducted to test the questionnaire. The survey method was used in this study because the target population only composed of 100 employees. A high response rate of 98% was obtained using the personal method of data collection, questionnaire was structured in a 5 point Likert scale format. The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 15 for Windows was used for statistical analysis of the main responses. The study finding suggests that salary is the primary cause of staff turnover in the Department of Home Affairs. The findings highlighted that high staff turnover increases work load to the present employees in the department. The study finding also showed that staff turnover causes reduction in effective service delivery to the customers and reflects poorly on the image of the Department. Other findings suggested that unhealthy working relationship may also be the cause of staff turnover in the department. The recommendations highlighted that top management should pay a marketable salary to employees and the employees must be rewarded if they have achieved their goals. Top management should also develop opportunities for career advancement in the department. Top management should involve employees when they make decisions that will affect them in the Department of Home Affairs in the Eastern Cape Province. The study concludes with direction for future research.

Abstract. Ozone (O3) has become a significant air pollutant in China in recent years. O3 abatement is challenging due to the nonlinear response of O3 to precursors nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Photochemical indicators are widely used to estimate the O3-NOx-VOC sensitivity, and this has important policy implications. However, the effectiveness of the indicators has seldom been evaluated. This study examines the applications of four indicators that include the ratio of the production rates of H2O2 and HNO3 (PH2O2 / PHNO3), HCHO / NO2, HCHO / NOy, and reactive nitrogen (NOy) in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) with localized thresholds. The overall accuracy was high (> 92 %) for all indicators and not significantly reduced with different simulation periods or in different locations of the region. By comparing with the O3 isopleths, it was found that HCHO/NO2 and HCHO / NOy showed the most consistency, whereas PH2O2 / PHNO3 (NOy) tended to underestimate (overestimate) the positive response of O3 to NOx. Additionally, PH2O2 / PHNO3 was less likely to attribute the O3 formation to mixed sensitivity than the other indicators, and this demonstrated a preference for a single-pollutant control strategy. This study also revealed that the details in the methodology used to derive the threshold values impacted the results, and this may produce uncertainties in the application of photochemical indicators.
Impact of turbulence on aeolian particle entrainment: results from wind-tunnel experiments
Authors: Zhang Jie , Li Guang , Shi Li , Huang Ning , Shao Yaping
Published: July 2022

Abstract. We hypothesize that large eddies play a major role in the entrainment of aeolian particles. To test this, wind-tunnel experiments are carried out to measure the particle entrainment rate for various sizes and flow conditions. Wind-tunnel flows are usually neutrally stratified with no large eddies, which are typically seen in convective atmospheric boundary layers. Here, a novel technique is applied, by deploying a piece of randomly fluttering cloth, to generate large eddies similar to convective eddies, here referred to as quasi-convective turbulence. The characteristics of quasi-convective turbulence are analyzed with respect to neutral turbulence in the Monin–Obukhov similarity framework, and the probability distributions of surface shear stress are examined. We show that for a given mean flow speed and in comparison with neutral flow conditions, quasi-convective turbulence increases the surface shear stress and alters its probability distribution and hence substantially enhances the entrainment of sand and dust particles. Our hypothesis is thus confirmed by the wind-tunnel experiments. We also explain why large eddies are important to aeolian entrainment and transport.
On the interaction of stochastic forcing and regime dynamics
Authors: Dorrington Joshua , Palmer Tim
Published: July 2022

Abstract. In this paper we investigate the curious ability of stochastic forcing to increase the persistence of regimes, in a low-order, stochastically forced system. In recent years, evidence from both simple models and climate simulations have suggested that stochastic forcing can act as a stabilising force to increase regime persistence, but the mechanisms driving this potential reinforcement are unclear. Using a six-mode truncation of a barotropic β-plane model, featuring transitions between analogues of zonal and blocked flow conditions, we show that moderate levels of fast-varying stochastic forcing can increase the low-frequency variability of the system, and act asymmetrically to increase the persistence of certain regimes. We show that the presence of a deterministically-inaccessible unstable fixed point, and the low-dimensionality of the flow during blocking, are vital dynamical components that allow this stochastic persistence to occur. We present a simple geometric argument that explains how stochastic forcing can slow the growth of instabilities, which may have more general applicability in understanding stochastic chaotic systems.
A database of marine macronutrient, temperature and salinity measurements made around the highly productive island of South Georgia, the Scotia Sea and the Antarctic Peninsula between 1980–2009

Published: July 2022

Abstract. We present a database from substantial collections of macronutrient data made on 20 oceanographic cruises, primarily from around the island of South Georgia and the Scotia Sea. This sector of the Southern Ocean was studied comprehensively during the Discovery Investigations between ~1920 and 1950 and resulted in the hugely influential Discovery Reports. Following this pioneering research period, there was a lull of several decades prior to the British Antarctic Survey’s (BAS) initiation of an offshore biological programme to study the ecology of the South Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean. These studies began in the late 1970s and have continued until the present day. Between 1980–2009, the programme included macronutrient measurements as part of an integrated ecosystem analysis. In addition to South Georgia and the Scotia Sea, measurements were also made in the Bellingshausen Sea and the waters to the west of the Antarctic Peninsula. Data were collected during all months of the year with the exceptions of May and June and compiled into a database. Vertical profile samples were taken from water bottles while data along transects were collected through monitoring the ship’s non-toxic seawater supply. Nutrients measured were silicate, Si(OH)4-Si; phosphate, PO4-P; nitrate, NO3-N; ammonium NH4-N; and nitrite, NO2-N. Our database includes nutrient data along with contemporaneous temperature and salinity data where available. Further background and supporting information are included for context.
Use of genetic algorithms for ocean model parameter optimisation: a case study using PISCES-v2_RC for North Atlantic particulate organic carbon
Authors: Falls Marcus , Bernardello Raffaele , Castrillo Miguel , Acosta Mario , Llort Joan , Galí Martí
Published: July 2022

Abstract. When working with Earth system models, a considerable challenge that arises is the need to establish the set of parameter values that ensure the optimal model performance in terms of how they reflect real-world observed data. Given that each additional parameter under investigation increases the dimensional space of the problem by one, simple brute-force sensitivity tests can quickly become too computationally strenuous. In addition, the complexity of the model and interactions between parameters mean that testing them on an individual basis has the potential to miss key information. In this work, we address these challenges by developing a biased random key genetic algorithm (BRKGA) able to estimate model parameters. This method is tested using the one-dimensional configuration of PISCES-v2_RC, the biogeochemical component of NEMO4 v4.0.1 (Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean version 4), a global ocean model. A test case of particulate organic carbon (POC) in the North Atlantic down to 1000 m depth is examined, using observed data obtained from autonomous biogeochemical Argo floats. In this case, two sets of tests are run, namely one where each of the model outputs are compared to the model outputs with default settings and another where they are compared with three sets of observed data from their respective regions, which is followed by a cross-reference of the results. The results of these analyses provide evidence that this approach is robust and consistent and also that it provides an indication of the sensitivity of parameters on variables of interest. Given the deviation in the optimal set of parameters from the default, further analyses using observed data in other locations are recommended to establish the validity of the results obtained.
Historical droughts manifest an abrupt shift to a wetter Tibetan Plateau
Authors: Liu Yongwei , Liu Yuanbo , Wang Wen , Zhou Han , Tian Lide
Published: July 2022

Abstract. The Tibetan Plateau (TP) plays a vital role in Asian and even global atmospheric circulation, through the interactions between land and
atmosphere. It has experienced significant climate warming and spatially and temporally variant wetting over the past half century. Because of the
importance of land surface status to the interactions, determining the wetting and drying of the TP from individual changes in precipitation (Prep) or
temperature is difficult. Soil moisture (SM) is the water synthesis of the surface status. The persistent deficit of SM (SM drought) is more
sensitive to climate change than normal SM. This study first explored the climate wetting and drying of the TP from variations in historical SM droughts
over 1961–2014, with a focus on spatiotemporal patterns, long-term variations, and climate causes of summer (May–September) SM droughts based on
multiple observation and reanalysis data. The results showed comparatively frequent and severe droughts in the central and southern area,
particularly in the semiarid and subhumid regions. SM drought exhibited an abrupt and significant (p < 0.05) alleviation in the interior and
central-west TP in the middle to late 1990s. The prominent drought alleviation indicated a hydroclimate shift to a wetter plateau, not merely steady
trends as given in the literature. We demonstrated that the wetting shift was dominated by Prep over potential evapotranspiration (PET). By contrast, the
in-phase trends were combined forces of Prep and PET, with increased forces of PET after the wetting shift. Furthermore, the Prep dominance was
largely attributed to a phase transition of the Atlantic multi-decadal oscillation from cold to warm since the mid-1990s. The PET impacts on the
wetting trends were likely dominated by solar radiation, wind speed, and vapor pressure deficit. Regionally, the wetting shift was distinct from
the arid to semiarid and semiarid to subhumid climate. Such spatiotemporal changes may affect the TP's atmospheric circulation and, subsequently,
the Asian monsoon and global circulation, in addition to the fragile ecosystem in the TP.
Gas isotope thermometry in the South Pole and Dome Fuji ice cores provides evidence for seasonal rectification of ice core gas records

Published: July 2022

Abstract. Gas isotope thermometry using the isotopes of molecular nitrogen and argon
has been used extensively to reconstruct past surface temperature change
from Greenland ice cores. The gas isotope ratios δ15N and
δ40Ar in the ice core are each set by the amount of
gravitational and thermal fractionation in the firn. The gravitational
component of fractionation is proportional to the firn thickness, and the
thermal component is proportional to the temperature difference between the
top and bottom of the firn column, which can be related to surface
temperature change. Compared to Greenland, Antarctic climate change is
typically more gradual and smaller in magnitude, which results in smaller
thermal fractionation signals that are harder to detect. This has hampered
application of gas isotope thermometry to Antarctic ice cores. Here, we present an analytical method for measuring δ15N and
δ40Ar with a precision of 0.002 ‰ per atomic
mass unit, a two-fold improvement on previous work. This allows us to
reconstruct changes in firn thickness and temperature difference at the South
Pole between 30 and 5 kyr BP. We find that variability in firn thickness is
controlled in part by changes in snow accumulation rate, which is, in turn,
influenced strongly by the along-flowline topography upstream of the ice
core site. Variability in our firn temperature difference record cannot be
explained by annual-mean processes. We therefore propose that the ice core
gas isotopes contain a seasonal bias due to rectification of seasonal
signals in the upper firn. The strength of the rectification also appears to
be linked to fluctuations in the upstream topography. As further evidence
for the existence of rectification, we present new data from the Dome Fuji
ice core that are also consistent with a seasonal bias throughout the
Holocene. Our findings have important implications for the interpretation of ice core
gas records. For example, we show that the effects of upstream topography on
ice core records can be significant at flank sites like the South Pole – they
are responsible for some of the largest signals in our record. Presumably
upstream signals impact other flank-flow ice cores such as EDML, Vostok, and
EGRIP similarly. Additionally, future work is required to confirm the
existence of seasonal rectification in polar firn, to determine how spatially
and temporally widespread rectifier effects are, and to incorporate the
relevant physics into firn air models.

The era of globalization and technological advances make it easy for everyone to establish communication and relations between countries. The increasingly widespread relationship between humans makes them inevitably have to learn foreign languages, especially English as an international language. In the world of education, English subjects have been taught since the Dutch colonial era and are still used until now. For a long time, English lessons have become a compulsory subject for junior high school and senior high school students. At the elementary school level, English subjects have become local content since 1996. Teaching English at various levels is not the same. At the elementary school level, English is more emphasized on improving and mastering vocabulary. In addition, teachers must use appropriate methods and media that will support learning activities. In this study, researchers will conduct an experiment centered on the use of picture books as a medium in increasing English vocabulary. In the context of community service carried out by the KKN-DR IAIN KEDIRI team. This research is aimed to children at the elementary school level in Sitimerto village. The research which was conducted using this pre-experimental method resulted in a conclusion. The results showed that the use of picture book media in increasing vocabulary was proven. In the study, it was found that there was an influence that showed a positive direction. Although the results of the increase shown are not very significant, this proves that increasing vocabulary using picture books has yielded results.

Published: July 2022

This research is aiming to determine the mediation role of consumer satisfaction in the relationship between service quality and repurchase intentions from hotel guests in the tourism area of Tanjung Benoa, Bali. The decline in the level of repeater guests at hotels created a gap in expectations from the hotel management. Data were collected using a questionnaire with 100 hotel guests as respondents. Hypothesis were tested using structural equation model (SEM) of SmartPLS. This study concluded that 1) service quality had a positive not significant relationship toward repurchase intentions, 2) customer satisfaction had a positive significant relationship toward consumer repurchase intentions, 3) service quality had a positive significant relationship toward consumer satisfaction and 4) customer satisfaction had a significant role in mediating (full mediation) relationship between service quality and repurchase intention. Referring to the result, it is recommended for the hotel management to more focus on the quality of services provided so that guests feel satisfied in the end create an intention to repurchase in the future. The challenges during this pandemic are also expected not to reduce the quality of the services at the same time also maintaining the guest satisfaction.

O planejamento como ensaio docente
Authors: Faria Izaque Moura de , Gomes Larissa Ferreira Rodrigues
Published: July 2022

A aposta aqui é na possibilidade de pensar/produzir a aula como um intenso ato docente de preparar-se para viver/praticar os acontecimentos com os cotidianos escolares. Aposta no ensaio, na ação de rascunhar, tencionando ampliar os sentidos quanto à potência do planejamento docente como produtor de possíveis na constituição curricular e na docência, mobilizando nas/os praticantespensantes da escola o desejo por uma vida mais comprometida com a coletividade. Desejo como construção a partir do que há ao invés de busca pelo que falta, e que, como todo agenciamento, constitui uma composição redundante de agenciamentos coletivos de enunciação e atos. Assim, interessa neste livro destacar o conceito de planejamento docente, expandindo-o para além dos sentidos de processo técnico, eficienticista e burocrático, conectando-o ao sentido que Gilles Deleuze (1994) confere ao ensaio: um esforço de abrir-se, criar disponibilidade aos possíveis.
A novel and eco-friendly method for Synthesis of 3-benzylidene-2-phenyl chroman-4-one analogs
Authors: Patadiya Nikunj , Vaghela Vipul
Published: July 2022

The main aim of present work was to develop eco-friendly and green method for synthesis of 3-benzylidene-2-phenylchroman-4-one derivatives. For the synthesis of 3-benzylidene-2-phenylchroman-4-one derivatives variety of acid and base catalyzed methods was performed. HCl gas and p-TSA proved ineffective as catalyst. Concentrated HCl in n-butanol was very less effective method. Upon taking base catalyst, by product was formed when taking NaOH as catalyst and very low yield obtained using piperidine as catalyst. To overcome this problem, novel and eco-friendly method was developed in which barium hydroxide used as a base catalyst. In presence of ethanol product yield drastically increased. Main benefit of this method is reaction carried out by gradual trituration and very less amount of solvent was required. By using this method, product obtained in very high yield with more purity.
Studies on X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns of Soya-hulls for Interpretation of Crystallinity Index
Authors: Soni Preeti , Vyas Shweta
Published: July 2022

X-Ray diffraction (XRD) technique is a prominent and nondestructive tool, used for the determination of crystallographic structure of any material. The technique follows the Brag’s Law and measures the intensities and scattering angles of the X-rays that leave the material to provide information on phases, preferred crystal orientations, crystal defects, crystallinity, and many other parameters. Crystallinity Index (CI), which is a quantitative indicator of crystallinity of any material, can also be calculated using XRD data and applying Segal’s method. In the present study, XRD patterns of Alkali/Acid treated soya-hulls are recorded and used for the calculation of CI. Results indicated wide variation of CI ranging from 22%-76% with lowest value for sodium hydroxide treated and highest for ascorbic acid treated soya hulls which may be due to maximum removal of hemicelluloses and amorphous lignin type structure. This study reveals that organic acids which are more eco-friendly can work better to increase CI and cellulose content of any lignocellulosic waste biomaterials like soya hulls for the application in composite and nanocomposites material synthesis.

To achieve high levels of success in endodontic treatment requires in-depth knowledge of the anatomy and morphology of the root canal system. Premolars are a group of teeth which shows a wide spectrum of different variations, reaching the apical opening. The frequency of one root canal at the apical tip for the maxillary first premolars is 8.66%, while 89.64% of the examined teeth show two root canals at the apical tip. The frequency of two or more root canals in the mandibular first premolars varies between 2.7% to 62.5%, while the frequency of two or more root canals in the mandibular second premolars varies between 0% and 34.3%. Some of the clinical aspects in the treatment of such aberrated premolars include implementing detailed preoperative evaluation- X-Rays and CBCT, sufficient opening of the endodontic access and careful three-dimentional cleaning of the root canal system with combination of different endodontic instruments and hybrid techniques of work and following hermetic sealing of all portals of exits. A 3D printing after a CBCT scan is a method of choice when a clinician wants to master the anatomy of a premolar. Knowledge of the complex root canal system is essential for understanding the principles and problems of shaping and, cleaning, determining the apical boundaries and dimensions of the root canals.
Military-Political Confrontations In The Khanates Of The South Caucasus In 1768-1774 And Erekle II
Authors: Merkviladze David
Published: July 2022

In 1768, Fatali Khan of Quba together with Hussein Khan of Shaki took Shamakhi. Soon, however, the former also tried to subdue the Shaki Khanate. For this purpose, Fatali offered King Erekle II of Kartli-Kakheti and Ibrahim Khan of Karabakh to campaign against the Shaki Khanate. But failed to get their consent. For his part, the Khan of Shaki asked Erekle II for help. The King demanded that Fatali Khan reconcile with the Khan of Shaki and threatened to provide military assistance to Hussein Khan.Ibrahim Khan of Karabakh also asked Erekle II for help in case of Fatali Khan’s aggression. Thus, an alliance between Erekle II, Hussein Khan and Ibrahim Khan against Fatali Khan was formed. The allies aimed to restore the rule of Aghasi Khan in Shamakhi, even on the condition of vassalage to Fatali Khan. In case of refusal, they intended to return the Quba Khanate to its former borders.The Russian government tried to limit the activity of Erekle II in the ongoing confrontation between the South Caucasian Khans. Nevertheless, in 1770, Erekle II sent an army to Ibrahim Khan of Karabakh to repel the attack of Fatali Khan. As a result, Fatali Khan’s campaign in Karabakh ended in failure. In November-December 1773, the Avar Khan Muhammad-Nutsal IV, along with Hussein Khan and Aghasi Khan, campaigned to Shamakhi. King Erekle helped the Avars militarily. Erekle II sent a detachment of Muslim Borchaly Kazakhs against Fatali Khan, in order to make the participation of his subordinates less noticeable. But this did not go unnoticed by Russian intelligence. At the same time, it is incorrect to name Erekle II as an ally of the Dagestani leaders united against Fatali Khan in the subsequent campaign of 1774. The King’s participation in the hostilities during this campaign is not confirmed by any source.
1768 թվականին Ղուբայի Ֆաթալի խանը Շաքիի Հուսեյն խանի հետ միասին գրավեցին Շամախին։ Շուտով նա փորձեց իրեն ենթարկել նաև Շաքիի խանությունը։ Այդ նպատակով Ֆաթալի խանը Քարթլի-Կախեթի թագավոր Հերակլ II-ին և Ղարաբաղի Իբրահիմ խանին առաջարկեց արշավել Շաքիի խանության դեմ։ Սակայն այդ համաձայնությունը չկայացվեց։ Իր հերթին Շաքիի խանը օգնություն խնդրեց Հերակլ II-ից։ Վերջինս պահանջեց, որ Ֆաթալի խանը հաշտվի Շաքիի խանի հետ և սպառնաց ռազմական օգնություն ցույց տալ Հուսեյն խանին։ Ղարաբաղի Իբրահիմ խանը նույնպես օգնություն խնդրեց Հերակլ II-ից ընդդեմ Ֆաթալի խանի։ Այսպես ստեղծվեց Հերակլ II-ի, Հուսեյն խանի և Իբրահիմ խանի դաշինքը ընդդեմ Ֆաթալի խանի։ Դաշնակիցները նպատակ ունեին վերականգնել Աղասի խանի իշխանությունը Շամախիում, նույնիսկ Ֆաթալի խանին նրա ենթարկվելու պայմանով։ Հրաժարվելու դեպքում նրանք միացյալ ուժերով մտադիր էին Ղուբա խանությանը զրկել իր նվաճած տարածքներից։ Ռուսաստանի կառավարությունը փորձեց սահմանափակել Հերակլ II-ի գործունեությունը հարավկովկասյան խաների միջև շարունակվող դիմակայությունում։ Այնուամենայնիվ, 1770 թվականին Հերակլ II-ը բանակ ուղարկեց Ղարաբաղի Իբրահիմ խանի մոտ՝ Ֆաթալի խանի հարձակումը ետ մղելու համար։ Արդյուն-քում Ֆաթալի խանի արշավանքը դեպի Ղարաբաղ ավարտվեց անհաջողությամբ։
