Published: April 2022

Toxocariasis is a zoonotic invasion with a long relapsing course (from several months to several years) and polymorphic clinical manifestations of an immunological nature. The causative agents of toxocariasis belong to the class of roundworms of the genus Toxocara. Two species of this genus are known: T. canis is a helminth of the canine family and T.cati is a helminth of the cat family. The role of T. canis in human pathology has been firmly established, and T. cati is still under discussion. These nematodes are widespread in cats and dogs. Affected animals excrete a huge number of eggs with feces, causing a high contamination of the soil. Up to 50% of samples from children's sandboxes contain invasive toxocara eggs, which are very resistant and persist in the soil for several years. Children under 5 years of age are most commonly infected. The main source of infestation for children are dogs, especially puppies. Infection occurs through direct contact with an infested animal whose coat is infected with infective eggs. Children with geophagy are most at risk of infection, especially when playing in the sand or with a dog.

Authors: Khairutdinov R. V. , Tukfatullin R. K.
Published: April 2022

The results of lymphadenectomy in esophagus resection and cardioesophageal cancer are studied. During the period from 1990 to 1998 112 patients were operated because of the cancer of esophagus and cardial part of the stomach. Metastases were found in less than half of the patients with increased the lymphnodes during the operation. In some cases metastases were found in the absence of their visible increase. It is concluded that the esophagus resection because of the cancer with one moment esophagoplasty should be accompanied by lymphadenectomy from regional lymphatic collectors. The adequate determination of the esophagus cancer, resectability, optimal choice of approach and methods of operation supplied by enlarged lymphadenectomy gave the encouraging results.
The Effect of Boundary Correctors on Scattering by a Periodic Obstacle
Authors:   , Pangburn Tayler Anne , Moskow Shari L
Published: April 2022

We present results in the homogenization of a transmission problem arising in the scattering theory for bounded inhomogeneities with periodic coefficient in the lower-order term of the Helmholtz equation. The squared index of refraction is assumed to be a periodic function of the fast variable, specified over the unit cell with characteristic size epsilon. We obtain improved convergence results that assume lower regularity than previous estimates (which also allow for periodicity in the second-order operator). In particular we show that, in contrast to Dirichlet problems, the O([epsilon]) boundary corrector is nontrivial and can be observed in the far field. We further demonstrate the latter far-field effect is larger than that of the "bulk'' corrector - the so-called periodic drift, which is found to emerge only at O([epsilon]²). We illustrate the analysis with examples in one and two spatial dimensions. Because the convergence of the boundary correctors to their limits is in general slow, we explore in detail their use in a second order approximation and show a new convergence estimate for the second order boundary corrector on a square. We show numerical examples of the higher order forward approximation in one and two dimensions. Furthermore, we continue our study by using the first order boundary correction as an asymptotic model for inversion and show numerical examples of inversion in two dimensions. Our work provides new results in an area of scattering theory where the boundary effect has not been previously studied.
Human Resource Management in Nonprofit Arts Organizations and its Effect on Employee Satisfaction and Retention
Authors:   , Christy Sarah Rose , Vakharia Neville
Published: April 2022

Human resource management in nonprofit arts organizations is an underfunded and understudied subject that is vital to the success and growth of the sector. Nonprofit organizations employ a variety of HR structures to manage their human capital. This study seeks to assess if different HR structures utilized by nonprofit arts organizations affect employee satisfaction and turnover. I conducted a survey of employees of mid-sized nonprofit arts organizations in the Greater Philadelphia region to gather information about their employer's HR structure, as well as their satisfaction levels and turnover intentions. While no statistical correlation was evident based on the data between HR structure and employee satisfaction, it was found that increased employee satisfaction is related to decreased turnover intentions. These findings suggest that through continued attention to and investment in human resource management, arts nonprofits can invest in their human capital, increase employee satisfaction, and retain employees in an effort to strengthen their organizations for the future and increase impact in pursuit of their mission.
Do you really want my input?

The world marketplace is becoming increasingly competitive as a result of creative innovations and technologies that can quickly disrupt business practices, products, and services. At the same time, the diversity of individuals within most firms is also increasing, highlighting the need for organizations to ensure that all members of their diverse work teams are fully contributing to the creative process to achieve and maintain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Diversity, however, often creates obstacles to the creative process. Natural biases against individuals who are dissimilar to others on a team can stifle those dissimilar individuals' motivation to contribute to the creative process as freely as those who are more similar to and accepted by the rest of the team. Using data gathered from a sample of 520 individuals who interact in teams, stratified across gender and four ethnicities, this research assesses the relationship between the dissimilarity of individuals to their fellow team members and that individual's withholding of creative ideas. The results of the study demonstrate that an individual's ethnic-gender dissimilarity to the rest of the team is positively related to that individual perceiving a disparity in the way the team treats and values their creative ideas. The perceived disparity in treatment is then positively correlated with the individual withholding creativity. However, empowering leadership moderates the relationship between an individual's dissimilarity to others in the team and that individual's perceived disparity in treatment of their ideas such that higher empowering leadership resulted in lower perceived disparity in treatment. This study also demonstrates partial support for the moderating effects of gender-ethnicity intersectional traits. Black women experience significantly higher perceptions of disparity in treatment of their creative ideas, and Black men exhibit significantly less withholding of creativity even when there is disparity in the way the team receives those ideas.

La disfunción del nódulo sinusal (DNS) es generalmente secundaria a la senescencia del nodo sinusal y del miocardio auricular circundante. Estamos presentando un paciente de 59 años de edad, hipertenso sin tratamiento y con antecedente de síncope en dos oportunidades en los últimos 4 meses. Ingresa debido a un flutter auricular con conducción auriculoventricular 1:1 con una frecuencia cardiaca de 280 lat/min que cede con goteo de amiodarona. Un Holter de 24 horas demostró un ritmo sinusal predominante, episodios paroxísticos de fibrilación auricular con respuesta ventricular alta, bradicardia sinusal de 47 lat/min. Se realizó el diagnóstico de disfunción del nódulo sinusal, Rubenstein tipo III (Síndrome Bradicardia-Taquicardia). Una coronariografía constató una estenosis del 80% en segmento proximal de la arteria coronaria derecha con componente espástico. La arteria del nódulo sinusal emerge del segmento proximal de la coronaria derecha. Se realizó una angioplastia exitosa con stent medicado. Otro estudio Holter de 24 horas de control pos-angioplastia registró nuevamente episodios paroxísticos de fibrilación auricular con respuesta ventricular alta y episodios de pausas de hasta 3.100 milisegundos por lo que se implantó un marcapasos bicameral. A pesar del restablecimiento de un flujo sanguíneo adecuado a la arteria del nódulo sinusal con la angioplastia de la coronaria derecha no se obtuvo una mejoría de la disfunción del nódulo sinusal.

Crisis Effectiveness of Government Business Support in the Conditions of the Coronavirus Pandemic: an Empirical Analysis
Authors: Kochetkov E. P.
Published: April 2022

Purpose: the main goal is to improve the methodology for assessing the effectiveness of state crisis business support based on the analysis of the experience of foreign countries.

Methods: the information base of the study is data from the IMF, the World Bank and the OECD. The study was conducted on the basis of methods of logical and comparative analysis (induction, deduction, comparative studies) using statistical data processing tools. The theoretical basis of the research is the theory of bankruptcy of companies of the scientific school of the Financial University «Crisis Management».

Results: the approaches to assessing the effectiveness of macroeconomic policy based on the theory and practice of governments of developed countries have been studied, a methodology for analyzing the crisis component of such a policy has been developed, including the definition of efficiency criteria, and proposals for improving crisis policy in the context of the coronavirus pandemic have been formulated. The effectiveness of using the rehabilitation potential of bankruptcy procedures on the example of some countries to restore the economy in a crisis is proved.

Conclusions and Relevance: the crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic differs from all previous economic crises, including significant amounts of state support for business. At the same time there is no strict correlation between the volumes of such support and losses in the economy. Despite the projected rates of economic growth in the coming years, some crisis factors have been ignored by the states (the high level of debt burden, the existence of zombie companies). The imposed moratorium on bankruptcy has postponed the problem of accumulated debts, which will subsequently negatively affect the pace of economic growth in the world as a whole. Existing studies have not confirmed the effectiveness of this business support measure.

Assessment of the effectiveness of state support for crisis business, along with macroeconomic effects, should include crisis, due to the rehabilitation potential of the institution of bankruptcy. Existing scientific studies do not analyze the contribution of the insolvency regime to economic growth. According to the results of the study, the inefficiency of state support for crisis business from the point of view of crisis management has been established.

The data analysis revealed that (1) implementing information gap activities in classrooms while teaching English increased students’ willingness to communicate, particularly their behavioral intention to communicate; (2) incorporating information gap activities increased students’ motivation and confidence to communicate in English; and (3) implementing information gap activities in the form of pair and group work activities increased students’ motivation and confidence to communicate in English. Furthermore, information gap activities can be used as a teaching strategy in English classes to assist the teacher in effectively managing the class and retaining students’ attention during the learning process.

Published: April 2022

The purpose of this narrative study was to investigate the involvement of EFL preservice teachers in community development while participating in the COVID-19 online learning from home program. The data collection technique for this study was based on the photovoices of five EFL preservice teachers who narrated their daily reports while conducting their online service-learning programs. The researchers relied solely on the daily reports page of the academic information system to collect data photovoices. The data from those photovoices were then analyzed using thematic analysis. The researchers also checked their content on YouTube to see what viewers thought about it in the form of responses or suggestions. According to the findings of this study, the five preservice teachers had been involved in community development through a variety of programs or content that they had uploaded to the virtual world. As evidenced by their photovoices, participants engaged in community development by teaching children about the recitation of the Qur’an, providing information in videos about COVID-19 prevention, and using their village as content material. As a result, the teachers have left digital footprints related to community development on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook.

Authors: Pairin Pairin , Syahrul Syahrul , Supriyanto Supriyanto , Badarwan Badarwan , Akib Akib
Published: April 2022

This article is the result of a study of leadership practices at IAIN Kendari, which focused on two aspects: 1) leadership practices in determining the direction and explaining the big picture of IAIN Kendari; and 2) leadership practices in formulating IAIN Kendari’s development strategy. The following findings were obtained through qualitative research using the narrative method: First, IAIN Kendari’s vision states that the institute will ”become a center for transdisciplinary studies in Asia by 2045.” Current leadership practices, however, do not appear to be in sync with this vision, which is still hazy. Second, routinely oriented leadership practices have not yet reached the depths of IAIN Kendari’s long history to produce new breakthroughs and innovations, and the role of the leader as a transformer of IAIN Kendari’s vision has not yet materialized into real policies and actions.

Barber shop businesses are increasingly mushrooming in average cities and big cities. We can see that many exist in almost every segment and road. Barber shops are commonly made with a box house model with a medium size, dominated by glass and spandex. It is important to examine in depth whether this trend is part of long-standing cultural factors, or is the influence of a global culture promoting the idea that everyone needs a barber shop to keep their appearance updated and current, or is a side culture that was born out of current economic conditions. Another element to consider is the view of Islam, and the value of measurement in pursuing economic value and welfare. The barber shop culture seems to be a reflection of the habits of people living in developing cities and other big cities.

Authors: Zainal Asliah , Binti Awad Faizah , Kina Wa , Atikah Dewi
Published: April 2022

People today are more disoriented as a result of COVID-19. People are often confused as a result of the abundance of information provided by all forms of offline and online media. The purpose of this paper was to look at how people reacted to the government’s handling of COVID-19 in the media. Data were gathered from social media and television content that depicted the public’s reactions and attitudes toward the government’s COVID-19 handling policy. After that, the data were analyzed using an interpretive approach. The findings revealed three distinct types of public reactions: anxiety, awe, and silliness. People were more likely to experience anxiety, fear and panic, as well as panic buying, spreading hoaxes, refusing to have rapid tests or PCR tests, isolating themselves, and avoiding medical personnel. Some people, on the other hand, reacted by displaying positive messages, positive support, and humor. Also, others indicated that they would do things like forge signatures, flee the hospital/isolation room, confiscate and dismantle coffins, be desperate to break health protocols, travel and vacation while ignoring risks, and try to influence the officers when they returned home. The three types of responses of anxiety, awe and ridiculousness highlighted different people’s awareness and knowledge of COVID-19.

Self Acceptance in Parents of Children with Autism
Authors: Mansur Mansur , Masyasari Ros , Binti Awad Faizah , Asriyanti Asriyanti
Published: April 2022

This paper focuses on the self acceptance of parents who have children with autism. The number of people with autism continues to experience an upward trend, which means that the number of parents of children with autism also continues to grow. In the early phase after the child is diagnosed as autistic, the family may find it hard to accept the reality, including both parents, even though the child needs assistance from their parents. In the early stages of diagnosis, parents may feel shock and assign blame, but gradually they are able to build self acceptance and a positive attitude. Some of these parents come to Kendis City Service Center in Kendari. The results of this study showed that the steps taken by parents in achieving long-term self acceptance include working through the stages of rejection, anger, bargaining and acceptance. Patience and tolerance in the acceptance process contribute greatly so that parents of children with autism can accept the reality that befell their child. From patience and tawakkal, parents of children with autism can control their anger and rejection and transform these into acceptance.

Published: April 2022

The housing/dormitory unification system for students has caused psychological shock due to socio-cultural clashes between individuals. This study examined the dynamics of self-concept, interpersonal communication and self-adjustment of students. The research subjects were students of IAIN Kendari class of 2018 who resided in Ma’had Al Jami’ah IAIN Kendari. Data collection was carried out by questionnaires, interviews and non-participation observation. Primary data were analyzed using a social dynamics perspective. The results showed that the dynamics of self-concept can be demonstrated from the positive experiences of the subjects; the dynamics of interpersonal communication can be observed from the psychological conditions caused in communicating; while the dynamics of self-adjustment can be found in the strategies used by female students in facing social and cultural obstacles. This study confirmed that the dormitory system for students has necessitated adaptation, as well as adoption of new habits. The process of adaptation and adoption to students who are different socially and culturally has promoted openness, tolerance and respect for different communities, and has underlined the very distinctive Indonesian education system.
