Internet research tools and methods - a continuous challenge in the activity of the ethics and deontology commissions
Authors: GAVRILOV Doina
Published: October 2022

The proper functioning of a society is based on the existence of moral and ethical norms to guide social behavior. For this reason, different branches of ethics developed to study the human behavior, the questions we need to ask when making decisions and the meaning of ethical values and their role in justifying a decision and guiding our professional activity. Just as research is vital to the development ofsociety and the understanding of social trends, everyday problems and needs, it seems that research must exist only in the frames of ethics so as to provide objective knowledge and not to harm. However, our rapprochement to the internet in the last 20 years raised newchallenges for research ethics, such as: demonstrating the veracity of information without compromising the participants’ identities, defining a community in the online space, etc.In the light of these events, our study focuses on the value of ethical behavior in research, examines the contemporary ethical challenges in research, and proposes solutions to address them. For this, we analyze researchers’ behavior online, and its implications in treating the research subjects, defining and choosing the ethical methods to approach them, and the capacity to guarantee the destruction of data. We end this study with a proposal for an ethical model of decision-making in research based on a deontological approach.

Authors: Agarwal Rachit , Rawat Pradeep , Rai Devendra , Athar Humaira , Srinivasarao Naik B
Published: October 2022

Energy demand in the building particularly in summer during peak hours due to outdoor climate and lack of sufficient high thermal mass construction materials. Advanced materials are required to reduce the recurring energy demand of buildings. This peak hour energy demand can be significantly reduced by using phase change materials (PCM). These PCMs may be incorporated into building components/ products in various ways. In this overview, the recent advances in the field of using different types of PCMs, parameters to be consider for building components, encapsulation of PCMs and influence of PCMs on thermal and mechanical properties of construction materials are briefly discussed. Importantly, behaviour of MPCM in building components is concisely elaborated in effective way.

Authors: Akkus Mahmut Burak , Haksever Zeki , Osmanlı Süleyman
Published: October 2022

In this study, Savonius type wind turbine rotors with the same front view area were produced with 3D printers by changing their aspect ratios, and then both experimental and numerical analyzes were carried out according to them attaching end plate and without end plate situations. The wind tunnel in the university was used in the experimental analysis. For numerical analysis, rotors and wind tunnels modeled in CAD program were analyzed in Ansys Fluent program. The analyzes made are for imaging purposes only, and the results in the experimental analyzes are accepted as correct. The reduction of aspect ratios in the uncapped analyzes decreased the overall efficiency, but the opposite effect was observed when the analyzes were repeated with the end plate. In addition, while negative pressure was observed in the rotors made without cover (bare case) in the digital images, this situation was not seen in the analyzes made with the end plate.
Challenges of Development of Demand-oriented Labor Market in Georgia
Authors: Narmania David , Keshelashvili Giuli , Chokheli Eka , Kikutadze Vasil
Published: October 2022

The article discusses the challenges in Georgia at the current stage of labor market formation. In particular, employment opportunities caused by low levels of economic development, sharp imbalances between supply and demand, low labor mobility, low labor costs, high percentage of people with higher education and youth in the unemployed market, high share of informal employment.
The paper analyses the imbalance between labor demand and supply in the labor market as main causes of unemployment and as one of the main impediments to business development. There is an imbalance between labor skills with professional opportunities and the demand on labor market. The problems of compatibility between the education and employment systems in the country has been identified. It is established that a weak link between these two systems and the lack of an agreed policy contribute to the deterioration of education, the random distribution of labor in the labor market, which does not correspond to the professional qualifications of the individual and prevents the creation of innovative work directions. Study results show that the underdevelopment of labor market infrastructure in Georgia has hampered the economic development of the country and has created many socio-economic problems in the form of unemployment, poverty and illegal migration.

Effects of Centrifugation at Different Levels of Freeze-Thawed Blood on DNA Isolation
Authors: ARSLAN Mevlut
Published: October 2022

DNA isolation from blood is a commonly used application to obtain nDNA and mtDNA. It was previously shown that DNA isolation could be performed from the pellet obtained after centrifugation of freeze-thawed blood (FTB), and this pretreatment had constructive results on DNA isolation. However, which centrifugation levels can be used for this pretreatment, and their effects are unknown. The aim of the study was to determine appropriate centrifugation levels for this pretreatment and show their effects on isolated DNA. For this purpose, DNA isolations were carried out from pellet and supernatant obtained by centrifugation at different levels of FTB. Then, spectrophotometric, gel electrophoresis, and real-time PCR analyses were performed in the isolated DNA samples. As a result, centrifugation of FTB at 5,000×g for 2 min or over let genetic material to pellet completely. This also caused to obtain high amount of DNA. mtDNA/nDNA ratios did not change in the isolated DNA samples from pellets obtained by defined centrifugation levels, but the DNA integrity decreased. To conclude, centrifugation of FTB at 5,000×g for 2 min or over can be used to harvest and wash genetic material found in FTB before DNA isolations.

Reproducing or Reducing Inequality? The Case of Summer Learning Programs
Authors: Davies Scott , Aurini Janice , Hillier Cathlene
Published: October 2022

Can summer programs, as remedial supplements to regular schooling, extend learning opportunities and other benefits to disadvantaged students? To frame this question, we compare logics from “social reproduction” and “partial compensation” perspectives, and then apply them to a large mixed method study of four kinds of summer programs in Ontario. Drawing on quantitative data on over 10,000 students and qualitative data from interviews with over 200 teachers and parents, we examined patterns of student recruitment and participation, social valuations, and academic outcomes. We found that all summer programs successfully recruited disadvantaged students without stigmatizing them, and raised their average achievement without widening pre-existing gaps. We interpret these findings as being consistent with the “partial compensation” perspective, and discuss related policy implications that include COVID-19 learning recovery strategies.

Articles illustrate how conditions of the pandemic either created opportunities to implement new ideas, illuminated the need to address known barriers to access, or provided the challenge needed to think differently about the impact of library services. Centering the rebuilding and development of new relationships with users and partners will help libraries assure sustainable services through future global challenges.
K-12 Virtual Tutoring: An Equitable Pandemic-era Service Worth Continuing
Authors: Diaz Jeanie
Published: October 2022

Public libraries are in a unique position to offer tutoring services that can be delivered to the community in convenient and innovative ways. Started at the height of the COVID pandemic, the Multnomah County Library’s K-12 Virtual Tutoring/Tutoría Virtual provides an impactful and equitable model for how a team of library professionals researched, developed, and maintained a virtual tutoring service staffed entirely by volunteers. Despite challenges, the service is still thriving and helping students regain learning lost during the school closure. With the right funding, staffing, and technological support for families to successfully participate, a staff-run, volunteer-driven virtual tutoring service has the potential to make a big difference, and libraries are in a unique and trusted position to provide this support, particularly in the subjects of reading and writing.

Published: October 2022

Those of us working in libraries, including university and college libraries, know the challenges the COVID-19 pandemic brought to light. However, we also know that many (if not all) of these challenges existed pre-pandemic and will continue to exist when we have reached a post-pandemic future. Issues of connectedness and access to services—and to people—will continue to be a concern for any institution aiming for improved equity and outcomes for those they serve. Blue Mountain Community College (BMCC) in Pendleton, Oregon, implemented LibChat, an online live chat service made for libraries and hosted by Springshare. Since its implementation in April 2020, LibChat has already assisted the BMCC Library and its wider community with these issues, as it applies to everything from internal communication, flexible work schedules and environments and, of course, response to student, faculty, staff, and community needs. Additionally, LibChat can continue to assist with these issues as we move forward and evolve with our community and its needs.
Creating and Sustaining Collaborative Partnerships: The Eugene Public Library’s Nonprofit Wi-Fi Hotspot Lending Collection
Authors: Bradley Michael
Published: October 2022

As the pandemic forced the Eugene Public Library (EPL) to close its doors and re-imagine services, the Eugene Public Library Foundation created a grant program for staff to obtain funds for small projects that focus on connecting marginalized patrons with information resources. The first of these “Innovation Grants” was awarded to staff at the Bethel Branch Library to create a pilot program in which Wi-Fi hotspots were made available to local nonprofit agencies serving marginalized and at-risk clients. The success of the pilot program led to a wider fundraising effort to create a permanent nonprofit Wi-Fi lending program. EPL currently maintains a collection of 200 hotspot devices which are solely for use by nonprofit partners. Lending Wi-Fi devices for partners to share with clients and to support internal operations has sparked an entirely new type of relationship between the library and the nonprofit community. This article shares this story as a template for other Oregon libraries to envision rethinking their approach to nonprofit partnerships.
Inside Look: EOU’s Mobile Virtual Reality Lab
Authors: Ralston Sarah
Published: October 2022

An American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant funded the establishment of a virtual reality lab at Eastern Oregon University (EOU) Library during the 2021-22 academic year. Virtual reality, or VR, simulates experiences with the aid of technology, most commonly specialized headsets that allow the user to see and feel like they are immersed in a virtual space. It can be used for gaming, entertainment, fitness, social interaction, and education. The project at EOU began with a collaboration with the Anatomy and Physiology course in which students investigated the inner workings of human organs and systems in VR as a lab assignment. The project has grown to include collaborations with History, Psychology, Health and Human Performance, Student Affairs, and other campus departments. The grant funding helped us to provide innovative digital content to our rural college students without any charge to them, and also helped to build learning experiences that were superior to what had been offered during the prior, more restrictive year of the pandemic. For the library, this wasn’t so much a pandemic-induced pivot as it was an opportunity to offer engaging, cutting-edge, free, and accessible learning experiences to our students.

Authors: KHAİRULLAH SEDEEQ Zainab , SAMADZADE Rugıyya , MAÇİN Salih , TÜRK DAĞI Hatice , FINDIK Duygu
Published: October 2022

Aim: Tuberculosis is a chronic, necrotizing disease known since prehistoric times. The most important stage of the tuberculosis control program is the microbiological identification, typing and detection of drug resistance of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex for the detection of active cases. The aim of this study is to compare the results of the methods used in the detection of M.tuberculosis complex in clinical samples.

Materials and Methods: The presence of M. tuberculosis complex in various clinical specimens sent to the Medical Microbiology Laboratory from patients with a pre-diagnosis of tuberculosis between January 2016 and January 2022 was investigated retrospectively. In microbiological diagnosis, Ehrlich-Ziehl-Neelsen (EZN) staining method, culture (BACTEC MGIT 320 automated system and Löwenstein Jensen (LJ) medium, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests were used.

Results: A total of 1706 samples were evaluated. The mean age of the patients was 46.49±25.77 years and 1025 (60.1%) were male. EZN method was positive in 32 (1.9%), culture in 48 (2.8%), and PCR in 40 (2.3%) samples. Samples were mostly sent from the departments of chest diseases (52.8%) and pediatrics (24.2%).

Conclusion: Culture, which is the gold standard method, was found to be the most reliable method for demonstrating the presence of M. tuberculosis complex. In the rapid diagnosis of tuberculosis, PCR method gives more reliable results than EZN method. As a result, since the culture method, gives late results, extensive routine use of molecular tests such as PCR is needed for accurate diagnosis of tuberculosis in a short time and to detect drug resistance.

Shoot fly, Atherigona soccata (Rondani); an invasive pest of sorghum/jowar. Selection of proper pesticide with suitable doze is the key to economical and effective control of shoot fly. Field experiments were conducted for two consecutive years 2014-2015 during kharif season in Fodder Research Institute, Sargodha-Pakistan to find out the impact of three seed dressing insecticides at different doses (Confidor @ 2.5g, 5g, 7.5g& 10g, Actara 2.5g, 5g& 7.5g and Hombre 2ml, 4ml& 6ml) for the control of sorghum/jowar shoot-fly. It was observed that all treated plots showed significantly lower dead hearts percentage caused as compared to control. Amongst chemicals the treatment with Actara (thiamethoxam) @ 7.5g and 5g/kg seed recorded significantly lowest dead hearts (11.5, 11.9%) and gave maximum yield (1.79,1.73 t/h). Therefore, to avoid and reduce toxic effects of direct spray on sorghum against shoot fly and to maximize the yield it is recommended to use thiamethoxam @ 5 g/kg as a seed dressing insecticides for both fodder and seed crop of sorghum.

Banks are seemed to be one of the business that are really interested in a system which provide a better service to its customers effectively and efficiently. Mobile banking through an application is a recent technological innovation with enormous potential to improve the banking experience of retail bank customers and to streamline the banksâ€™ operations. However, the successful implementation of mobile banking application (app) fundamentally depends on how much customers are fully motivated to adopt it. In fact, mobile banking adoption is in development stage of its growth in Tanzania. The study examines how user adoption of mobile banking services in financial institution through practices and challenges. The study is descriptive in nature and the convenience sampling units were used. The total sample size was 200 individuals including staff members of service providers and customers from commercial banks in Tanzania. The findings indicate that transaction costs, online theft, stranded platforms, network bottleneck, user perception and network providersâ€™ security is not guaranteed. The findings contribute to the debate around technological innovation and transforming the banking industry. Also, they have policy implications with regard to the user-need approach to mobile banking services and network providers

Published: October 2022

Despite the critical role played by intermediaries in value addition and quality improvement in the context of urban fresh fruits and vegetable supply chain, this same role has not been fully realised in the context of urban fruits and vegetable supply chain in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. This paper explores the intermediariesâ€™ role on value addition and quality improvement in the context of urban fresh fruits and vegetable (FFVs) supply chain in Dar es Salaam city to understand impediments to value addition and quality improvement. Qualitative approach was adopted and data were collected using documentary review, in-depth interviews, and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and non-participant observations based on the purposive sample size of 60 respondents. Thematic data analysis strategy was adopted and data were analysed using MAXQDA software. Findings showed that the intermediariesâ€™ inability to value addition and quality improvement for urban fresh fruits and vegetables were determined by a number of factors. The inability to facilitate packaging and packing was related to inadequate knowledge and awareness of packaging facilities, limited financial capital to buy modern packaging facilities and lack of quality and value assurance regulatory authorities. Impediments to branding and labelling rotated around inadequate branding and labelling technology and tools, inadequate knowledge and skills, financial difficulties by the intermediaries. Impediments to grading and sorting emanated from lack of proper grading and sorting tools and lack of knowledge and awareness on value addition and quality improvement. Impediments to collection were caused by lack of modern harvesting and collection tools, lack of modern storage facilities as well as climate changes and variation. Lastly, impediments to inspection and arrangement revolved around poor timing for conducting inspection, lack of enough fund to buy inspection tools and poor coordination of inspection. Strategies for overcoming the impediments include introduction and enforcement of relevant laws, regulatory mechanisms, appropriate policies and regulations that would effectively govern issues of fruits and vegetable value addition and quality improvement, sensitizing intermediaries on proper knowledge and skills, provision of financial assistance to intermediaries to facilitate packing and packaging of the FFV as well as improvement of marketing and selling strategies.

Applying Vinay and Darbelnet's Translational Procedures in Dubbing Animation from English into Arabic
Authors: Aziz May Mokarram Abdul
Published: October 2022

The main purpose of the present study is to focus on dubbing as a term employed in recording and synchronizing the original production soundtrack with another language to create the finished soundtrack such as in TV series and animation. This study aims at investigating translational procedures used in dubbing and sheds light on the difficulties that the translator may face while dubbing animation. The study hypothesizes that adopting Vinay and Darbelnet’s translational procedures (1995) may help to achieving a good match in dubbing English animation into Arabic. One of the significant conclusions is that no matter how good the dubber is skilful, especially in applying a suitable translational procedure and strategy, it is hard to come up with complete harmony with Source text due to some difficulties that face the dubber, especially in terms of finding the right expression that must match and synchronize with lip movements of characters, and the different articulating system of each language.

Code-switching and the Construction of Identity in Where Are We Going, Dad? Season V from the Socio-psycholinguistic Perspective
Authors: Fang Xiaoying
Published: October 2022

This study investigates the code-switching in people’s daily interaction in the outdoor parent-child reality TV show Where Are We Going, Dad? Season V from the socio-psycholinguistic perspective. The main purpose is to reveal how the social meanings of dialogues and identity construction enact in parents’ and their children’s daily interactions. Based on both quantitative and qualitative methods, this study analyzes daily conversations in different situations from three aspects, including speech accommodation, language attitude, and psychological motivation. The findings indicate that code-switching from Mandarin to English plays a more central role in the show. Moreover, code-switching used in the show is regarded as a language choice as well as a way to signify the speaker’s conscious shift of self-identity in a different situation. Language convergence denotes parents’ and their children’s adaptation to local environments and respect for local culture, meaning that speakers try to establish a common identity with the local people. Chinese and English code-switching has been associated with a shift between a soft one in Chinese and a forceful one in English, implying that there is a submissive self in Chinese and an authoritative self in English. The psychological motivation reveals the sense of belonging to the mother tongue and national identity of language users. Therefore, code-switching reveals complex ethnic identities, including the self as a show performer, cultural lover, father, or mother, which are consciously or unconsciously influenced by the speakers’ language repertoire, social background knowledge, and their intention of building ethnic identity.

Indonesia merupakan negara yang memiliki begitu banyak warisan budaya yang terlahir dari masa prasejarah. Peninggalan secara fisik yang ada saat ini banyak berupa bangunan candi. Candi sendiri memiliki fungsi utama pada zamannya sebagai tempat persembahyangan kepada dewa ataupun sebagai istana suatu kerajaan. Candi yang ada berasal dari peradaban kelahiran dan penyebaran agama Hindu dan Buddha di Nusantara. Kedua agama ini menjadi agama tertua dan yang pertama kali masuk ke Indonesia. Candi di Indonesia sendiri paling banyak berada di Pulau Jawa tepatnya di provinsi Jawa Tengah dan Jawa Timur. Lokasi tempat terbangun dan berdirinya candi dikedua provinsi ini disesuaikan dengan jarak sumber untuk material utamanya. Hal ini dikarenakan kondisi lingkungan geografis tempat berdirinya lokasi candi-candi tersebut yang berbeda-beda. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah dengan komparatif membandingkan data yang didapat antara candi yang berada di Jawa Timur dan Jawa Tengah didasarkan letak geografisnya. Hasil yang diharapkan yaitu dapat mengetahui lebih jelas penggunaan material batuan candi yang didasarkan pada letak, jarak dan kondisi geografis dari sumber utama bahan batuannya. Umumnya jenis material utama batuan yang digunakan untuk pembangunan candi dikedua provinsi ini dikaitkan karena kedekatan dengan sumber material dan lokasi terbangunnya candi.

Introduction: Orthognathic Surgery (OS) aims to correct deformities of the bones of the maxilla and mandible. In this scenario, fat grafting is a powerful tool for corrections and also for facial aesthetic improvement together or after OS. The benefits of fat grafting during orthognathic surgery; to maximize aesthetic results, minimize swelling and optimize wound healing. Objective: To analyze the main clinical studies on the benefits and risks of facial fat grafting in orthognathic surgery, to know the current state of the art. Methods: It followed a systematic literature review model on the main clinical findings of orthognathic surgery and fat grafting, according to the rules of PRISMA. The research was carried out from July to September 2022 and developed based on Google Scholar, Scopus, PubMed, Ovid, Scielo, and Cochrane Library, using scientific articles from 1986 to 2022. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results: 123 studies were analyzed, with only 32 medium and high-quality studies selected, according to GRADE rules, and with risks of bias that do not compromise scientific development, based on the Cochrane instrument. Studies have shown that OS aims to establish harmonious facial esthetics, excellent functional occlusion, and improved airway conditions. As an important adjunct to OS, fat grafting is becoming more and more common due to its antiinflammatory role and effects on facial swelling. High patient satisfaction with the results. Postoperative swelling resolved at week 12 in the fat graft group and persistent edema. The edema decrease over time, with almost complete resolution within 1 year, improvement in facial morphology, function, quality, and skin texture in most of their patients. The use of assisted lipo transfers containing mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue, enables improvement in skin quality, smoothing of wrinkles, pore size, and attenuation of pigmentation and resolution of scars. Furthermore, enrichment of the lipoaspirate with stem cells derived from adipose tissue increases graft retention. Conclusion: Most of the studies analyzed in this review study showed that fat grafting in orthognathic surgery is a safe and effective tool to improve wound healing, improve aesthetic results, present an anti-inflammatory effect and reduce edema.
