Un eritema tossico neonatale… pruriginoso
Authors: Cortellazzo Wiel Luisa , Bruno Irene , Berti Irene , Barbi Egidio
Published: April 2023

A 3-month-old male infant was evaluated for the persistence of erythema toxicum neonatorum. Physical examination was remarkable for a papulopustular rash on his hands and feet, with similar lesions on his trunk. The baby was irritable and continuously rubbed his soles. The parents as well presented similar cutaneous lesions, which had been treated with anti-histamine drugs without effect. The suspect of scabies was therefore raised and eventually confirmed by the examination of the skin scraping sample, showing the presence of the mites. In both the infant and his parents the clinical picture resolved after two cycles of topical permethrin. In the neonatal age, scabies can act as a great mimicker. In front of any pruritic rash, it is therefore mandatory to search for affected relatives. In fact a prompt diagnosis is crucial to prevent the superinfection of the patient lesions, as well as epidemic outbreaks.
The “Extra-Long” Dip in the Poems of the Gawain Poet
Authors: Inoue Noriko
Published: April 2023

The structure of the a-verse in Middle English alliterative meter remains unclear. One of the most controversial issues concerns the maximum length of a dip. Judith Jefferson and Ad Putter have argued that an a-verse can have an “extra-long” dip that consists of four or more unstressed syllables, while Noriko Inoue and Myra Stokes have advanced evidence to suggest that a four-syllable limit on dip length may normally be operative in the a-verse. This article examines a-verses in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and show that all the possible instances of a five- or six-syllable dip can be reinterpreted as having two, three, or four syllables, and that in these instances the extra-long dip can be broken up by a beat in the middle. The article concludes that dips that can be considered extra-long are in fact rare in the Gawain poet’s poems.

"El deber de existir" : crecimiento y capacidad fiscal en la economía decimonónica de México
Authors: Silva Castañeda Sergio
Published: April 2023

There are several main explanations in the copious historiography of 19th-century Mexico about the causes of the economic collapse in three stages: period of very low growth between 1820 and 1850, a period of absolute decline between 1850 and 1870, and finally a moderate recovery from the 1870s onwards. One way of coherently articulate all these explanations is to place the emphasis on the fiscal issue, taking advantage of some theoretical novelties that allow us to shed new light on long-standing discussions. This contributes to the discussion on the formation of the Mexican state and its relationship with economic development.

Public diplomacy during military international conflicts. The Ukraine war case
Authors: HLIHOR Ecaterina
Published: April 2023

Nowadays, warfare is characterized by a huge intensity of fight, large investment in military technology that led to new ways of combat and increased its visibility. While the changing strategic, social and cultural features of this environment have forced governments and armies to add new fight strategies including public diplomacy, the public diplomacy itself transformed. Therefore, this article reviews current research in this field and presents a theoretical approach of the actual war. In this regard, the topic discussed is the battle between the Ukrainian and Russian military for image and legitimacy in the international public opinion. In the information age in which we live, the activities and capabilities of public diplomacy can have a significant impact on how people, organizations, and governments perceive this war. The purpose of the article is to examine the management of public diplomacy in the case of both actors involved in this war.
Lessons to be learned from the Nagorno-Karabah conflict
Authors: CHIRIAC Cătălin
Published: April 2023

The new threats of modern warfare compel the thinking and development of a credible air defense capability based on early warning systems, surface-to-air missiles, fighter aircraft and associated command and control systems. Ground-based air defence, largely neglected in the air campaigns that dominated the last years of military conflicts, where the air threat was quite low, is once again examined by military analysts. The combatants involved in the 2020Nagorno-Karabakh conflict are responsible for this.

Authors: MANGA Mariu Vasile
Published: April 2023

The personnel of international organizations and bodies are exposed to a variety of risksand threats, not only in existing conflict situations in collapsing states where peacekeeping missions and operations are carried out, but also due to a complex security environment dominated by new conceptual mutations and an alert pace of technological development. The trend of casualties among United Nations (UN) employees in recent years remains high, indicating that armed violence is still widespread in mission areas and peace operations. Theprocess of mitigating risk is complex and based on the need for a permanent assessment of the security situation in an adaptive manner, as well as a permanent correlation of these risks with the level of available capabilities.
TAMBÉM OS BRANCOS SABEM DANÇAR, DE KALAF EPALANGA: O GUERREIRO JAGA QUE INVADIU A ESCANDINÁVIA COM O KUDURO
Authors: Carneiro Adriano Guedes
Published: April 2023

O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar o livro Também os brancos sabem dançar, de Kalaf Epalanga, sob a perspectiva de que é um romance híbrido em busca de fronteiras geográficas e não geográficas para serem ultrapassadas. Há uma enorme preocupação do autor com a difusão do gênero musical angolano denominado “kuduro”, o que em alguns momentos transforma a narrativa em um texto expositivo. Tanto que o livro se apresenta como sendo um “romance musical”. O hibridismo manifesta-se tanto na concepção do gênero literário, situado entre o conto e o romance, como também ao texto entre o narrativo propriamente dito e o narrativo-expositivo. São discutidas, a partir de temas oferecidos pela narrativa, as questões da diáspora, do racismo e do feminismo negro. A pesquisa para a redação deste seguiu o método da revisão bibliográfica com a utilização do pensamento de Walter Benjamin, Stuart Hall, Philippe Lejeune, Carlos Reis, Gayatri Spivak, Nestor Garcia Canclini, Grada Kilomba, entre outros.
A POÉTICA DAS VIAGENS: O BRASIL COMO INSPIRAÇÃO PARA ELIZABETH BISHOP
Authors: Sant'ana Moselle Ottoni , Marcelino Jacqueline Laranja Leal
Published: April 2023

A obra Questions of Travel de Elizabeth Bishop, publicada em 1965, agrupa poemas em inglês sobre o Brasil inspirados na cultura brasileira, revelando o olhar estrangeiro da poeta, desde o primeiro contato com o país à permanência. O objetivo deste artigo é discorrer sobre a poética de Bishop, ressaltando o gênero literatura de viagem através dos poemas criados a partir de suas vivências no Brasil. Serão abordadas vida e obra, seu vínculo com o Brasil, seu estilo de escrita e o conceito de literatura de viagem, associando os poemas a relatos de viagem. Por conseguinte, sucederá a análise de três poemas selecionados da obra Questions of Travel a fim de refletir sobre as mudanças da percepção de Elizabeth Bishop acerca do Brasil. Para desenvolver a biografia da poeta, nos fundamentamos em cartas escritas por Bishop, reunidas por Giroux (1994), em observações de Ellis (1950), Millier (1993) e reflexões de Britto (1999), que agrupou e traduziu poemas de Bishop inspirados no Brasil. No que se refere ao estilo de escrita da poeta, recorremos a Anastácio (1999), Costello (1991) e Robbins (1966), que discutem a sua poesia moderna. A temática de viagens na escrita da poeta é explorada pela perspectiva de Bernlef (1976) e Bross (1976); e a literatura de viagem, pela perspectiva de Cristóvão (2002), Junqueira (2011), Machado & Pageaux (1994), Ribeiro (2010) e Romano (2013).

A (IM)POLIDEZ NOS DISCURSOS PRESENTES EM COMENTÁRIOS DA NOTÍCIA “FOME, MAIS UMA VERGONHA NACIONAL” DA FOLHA DE S. PAULO
Authors: Patez Danilo , Oliveira Silva Samara , Kallarrari Celso
Published: April 2023

Quando ocorre interação seja face a face ou virtualmente, o falante faz uso de estratégias para expressar suas ideias; algumas estratégias são de polidez outras de impolidez, isso vai depender da intencionalidade do falante. Com o advento da Internet e, consequentemente, a interação nos ambientes virtuais, observa-se um grande uso de impolidez nos discursos virtuais. Dessa forma, este artigo tem como objetivo analisar o uso de polidez e impolidez presentes nos discursos presentes em comentários de uma notícia no jornal Folha de S.Paulo. Para tal análise, utilizaremos como referencial teórico Leech (2005) para tratar das regras pragmáticas de polidez linguística. Para impolidez utilizaremos as estratégias de impolidez positiva e negativa apresentadas por Culpeper (1996), para a compreensão de discurso utilizaremos Fairclough (trad. 2001, 2003) dentro da perspectiva da Análise de Discurso Crítica e para metodologia utilizaremos Flick (2008); também serão feitas algumas considerações utilizando a perspectiva de polidez de Brown e Levinson (1987). O corpus é composto por 12 comentários presentes na notícia “Fome, mais uma vergonha nacional” publicada no jornal Folha de S.Paulo em 04 de julho de 2022. Como resultados observamoss usos tanto de estratégias de polidez quanto de impolidez, sendo o uso de impolidez mais presente quando o falante era divergente à notícia ou a outro comentário. Em relação aos discursos presentes nos textos em análise, notamos discursos negacionistas, políticos e de naturalização, principalmente em comentários que utilizavam de impolidez.

Background and Aim: Escherichia coli was the most prevalent cause for urinary tract infections (UTIs). These bacteria also generate extended spectrum b-lactamases (ESBL), which inactivate penicillins and cephalosporins. The purpose of the current study is to determine the incidence of multidrug resistance and extended beta-lactamase expression in community-acquired urinary tract infection (UTIs) among patients of different age groups. Patients and Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 186 uropathogens investigated in the diagnostic center of Tertiary Care Hospital Peshawar from January 2022 to December 2022. Patients of either gender or any age with suspected UTIs associated with K. pneumoniae and E. coli were derived from urine specimen were enrolled. Identification and analysis of antimicrobial susceptibility was done using Disc diffusion method and Double Disc synergy test. SPSS version 27 was used for data analysis. Results: Of the total 186 Gram-negative uropathogens, there were 57 (30.6%) male and 129 (59.4%) female. The incidence of E. coli and K. pneumoniae was 138 (74.2%) and 48 (25.8%) respectively. The prevalence of uropathogens identified was in 71% females and 29% males.

Published: April 2023

Objective: Prior epidemiological surveys revealed that Chile experiences a high burden of oral diseases. However, no prior study has reported estimates of untreated dental caries, periodontitis, and edentulism over a three-decade period for the country. Using estimates of the Global Burden of Diseases Study (GBD) 2019, the objective of this study is to report the trends of prevalence, incidence, and years-lived with disability (YLDs) due to untreated dental caries, periodontitis, and edentulism in Chilean older adults between 1990 and 2019. Methods: Estimates of prevalence, incidence, and YLDs due to dental caries, periodontitis, and edentulism were produced for Chile, by age and sex, between 1990 and 2019, using Dismod-MR 2.1. Trends of oral disorders were analyzed using generalized linear regression models applying the Prais-Winsten method. Results: Untreated dental caries and periodontal disease showed an increase in prevalence and YLDs, whereas edentulism prevalence, incidence, and YLDs decreased in all older adults age groups. The incidence of dental caries decreased in the younger groups and increased in the older age groups; while the incidence of periodontal disease increased in the younger and decreased in the older age groups. Conclusions: Overall, the burden of oral diseases in older Chileans increased between 1990 and 2019. This was particularly relevant for untreated caries and periodontal disease. Future estimates of oral diseases burden in Chile require concerted efforts to produce national health surveys that incorporate oral diseases metrics. These estimates are essential to inform policy formulation, implementation and evaluation.

Published: April 2023

Objective: We aimed to determine the feasibility and reliability of videoconference assessment of functional and cognitive status among older adults in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Thirty community-dwelling older adults (86.70% women) with a mean age of 69.77 (SD = 6.60) years who were physically independent and had no signs of cognitive impairment were included in the sample. An independent and experienced researcher assessed functional (chair rise test, chair stand test, sitting and rising test) and cognitive (Montreal Cognitive Assessment, parts A and B of the Trail Making Test, the Stroop test, the verbal fluency test) performance in real-time on the Google Meet platform on 2 non-consecutive days. The reliability of the measures was analyzed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), a paired t-test, or Wilcoxon and Bland-Altman analysis. The feasibility of the assessment was investigated using a standardized 14-item questionnaire. Results: All functional performance measures showed excellent intra-rater reliability, with ICCs from 0.90 (95%CI 0.78 – 0.95) for the sitting and rising test to 0.98 (95%CI 0.96 – 0.99) for the chair rise test. Our analysis also showed mixed levels of reliability across measures, including good ICC (ranging from 0.79 – 0.91) for the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, part B of the Trail Making Test, and the congruent and neutral trials in the Stroop test, but poor-to-moderate ICC (ranging from 0.42 – 0.58) for the other cognitive assessments. In general, the participants reported good feasibility for the assessment format. Conclusion: In healthy and highly educated older adults, videoconferencing is a feasible method of determining functional and cognitive performance. Functional measures showed excellent reliability indexes, whereas cognitive data should be interpreted carefully, since the reliability varied from poor to moderate.

Published: April 2023

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) can be fatal and, if not, can result in many short- and long-term complications. Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) is an underrated complication that can lead to systemic embolization and, ultimately, stroke or end-organ damage. The current cross-sectional study is designed to determine the frequency of left ventricular thrombus after acute anterior wall myocardial infarction at the Department of Cardiology, Rehmatul-lil-Alameen Institute of Cardiology, Lahore, from 12-09-2020 to 11-03-2021. All patients of 20 to 60 years of either gender meeting the operational definition of the acute anterior wall were included. LV thrombus was diagnosed on echocardiography as an amorphous echogenic structure with variable shape and adherent to the endocardium. In this study, there were 87 cases; out of these, there were 57 (65.52%) males, and 30 (34.48%) females. The mean age of the subjects was 49.90±6.27 years. Out of 87 cases, 37 (42.53%) had a history of DM, 30 (45.98%) were hypertensive, and 31 (35.63%) were smokers. Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) was found in 16 (18.39%) cases. LVT was seen in 9 (15.79%) males vs. 7 (23.33%) females with p= 0.39. LVT was seen in 5 (13.51%) cases with DM and 11 (22%) with no DM, 7 (17.50%) cases with HTN, and 9 (19.15%) normotensives with p= 0.41 and 1.0. LVT was found in 5 (22.72%) cases with ejection fraction (EF) up to 40% and 11 (16.92%) cases with EF more than this with p= 0.18. Based on the results, the left ventricular thrombus is not uncommon after acute anterior wall MI and is nearly seen in every one out of five cases and is more common in cases with ejection fraction up to 40%.
Personalized Medicine in Orthopaedic Surgery: The Case of Spine Surgery
Authors: Shen Jesse , Nemani Venu M. , Leveque Jean-Christophe , Sethi Rajiv
Published: April 2023

Personalized medicine has made a tremendous impact on patient care. Although initially, it revolutionized pharmaceutical development and targeted therapies in oncology, it has also made an important impact in orthopaedic surgery. The field of spine surgery highlights the effect of personalized medicine because the improved understanding of spinal pathologies and technological innovations has made personalized medicine a key component of patient care. There is evidence for several of these advancements to support their usage in improving patient care. Proper understanding of normative spinal alignment and surgical planning software has enabled surgeons to predict postoperative alignment accurately. Furthermore, 3D printing technologies have demonstrated the ability to improve pedicle screw placement accuracy compared with free-hand techniques. Patient-specific, precontoured rods have shown improved biomechanical properties, which reduces the risk of postoperative rod fractures. Moreover, approaches such as multidisciplinary evaluations tailored to specific patient needs have demonstrated the ability to decrease complications. Personalized medicine has shown the ability to improve care in all phases of surgical management, and several of these approaches are now readily available to orthopaedic surgeons.

Роль динамики численности обыкновенной полевки в эпизоотической активности туляремийного очага в Юго-Востока Армении
Authors: Манучарян Манучарян
Published: April 2023

Определена роль динамики популяции обыкновенной полевки в деятельности очага туляремии в юго-восточном регионе Армении. Прогностическое значение динамики численности полевок как фактора, определяющего эпизоотическую активность очага туляремии, проявляется лишь при высоких показателях и относительно невелико. Для создания полноценной модели прогнозирования эпизоотической активности очага туляремии необходим поиск дополнительных значимых экологических факторов. Почти 86,7 % штаммов возбудителя туляремии являются изолятами от обыкновенных полевок. Таким образом, основой экосистемы очага туляремии в юго-восточном регионе является обыкновенная полевка., Հոդվածում որոշվել է սովորական դաշտամկան խտության դինամիկայի դերը Հայաստանի հարավարևելյան մասի տուլարեմիայի օջախում: Սովորական դաշտամկների խտության դինամիկայի կանխատեսող նշանակությունը` որպես տուլարեմիայի օջախի էպիզոոտիկ ակտիվությունը որոշող գործոն, դրսևորվում է միայն բարձր ցուցանիշներով և հարաբերականորեն փոքր է: Տուլարեմիայի օջախի էպիզոոտիկ ակտիվության կանխատեսման լիարժեք մոդել ստեղծելու համար հարկավոր է փնտրել հավելյալ կարևոր էկոլոգիական գործոններ: Տուլարեմիայի հարուցիչների գրեթե 86.7 %-ը անջատվել են սովորական դաշտամկներից: Հետևաբար, հարավարևելյան մասում տուլարեմիայի օջախի էկոհամակարգի հիմքը սովորական դաշտամուկն է: The role of the common vole population dynamics in the activity of the tularemia focus in the Southeastern Region of Armenia has been determined. The prognostic value of the dynamics of the number of voles as a factor determining the epizootic activity of tularemia focus is manifested only at high rates and is relatively small. To create a full- fledged model for predicting epizootic activity of tularemia focus, it is necessary to search for additional significant ecological factors. Almost 86, 7 % of the strains of the tularemia pathogen are isolates from the common voles. Thus, the common vole is the basis of the ecosystem of the tularemia focus in the southeastern region.

In a hydroponic greenhouse such fruit and vegetable crops are cultivated that have the ability to produce a double crop during the vegetation period. Strawberry (Fragaria ananassa Duch.) is such crop and we chose it for our research. Strawberry varieties grown in hydroponic greenhouses ensure a long-lasting, continuous, high quality and quantity harvest thanks to the created and controlled microclimate, regulated norms and timings of irrigation and nutrition. The period of fruit blossoming, ripening, and the formation of inflorescences occurs quickly. Monitoring is carried out, the dynamics of the development of pests and diseases is controlled, and the pest and disease control measures are implemented at the right times. According to product evaluation indicators the varieties Albion and San Andreas outperformed Malga and Murano varieties. Ուսումնասիրության համար մեր կողմից ընտրվել է ելակը (Fragaria ananassa Duch.), որը հենց այդպիսի մշակաբույս է: Հիդրոպոնիկ ջերմատանը մշակվող ելակի սորտերն ապահովում են բարձր որակի և քանակի բերք՝ շնորհիվ արհեստականորեն ստեղծվող և վերահսկվող միկրոկլիմայի, ոռոգման և սնուցման կարգավորվող նորմերի և ժամկետների, պտղի ծաղկման, հասունացման, ծաղկակիրների առաջացման կարճ ժամանակահատվածի և այլն: Կատարվում է մոնիթորինգ, վերահսկվում է վնասատուների և հիվանդությունների զարգացման դինամիկան, և ճիշտ ժամկետներում իրականացվում են պայքարի միջոցառումներ: Ըստ ապրանքային գնահատման ցուցանիշների` Ալբիոն և Սան Անդրեաս սորտերը գերազանցել են Մալգա և Մուռանո սորտերին: Для нашего исследования была выбрана земляника (Fragaria ananassa Duch.), которая является именно такой культурой. Сорта земляники, выращенные в гидропонных теплицах, обеспечивают высокое качество и количество урожая за счет искусственно созданного и регулируемого микроклимата, регулируемой нормы и сроков, цветения, созревания плодов, короткого периода формирования цветоносов и др.

This paper presents comparisons of learner perceptions between an in-person and distance interprofessional educational activity.

A retrospective comparative analysis of data collected during post-activity evaluations following two versions (in-person; distance simulation-based) of a large-group simulated patient (SP) interprofessional education (IPE) simulation depicting a complex patient was used.

The distance simulation-based encounter run in 2020 (the reformed event) was found to have more favourable opinions compared to the 2019 in-person one. The 2019 participants’ responses were more indicative of neutral and negative feelings of the activity compared to the participants from the 2020 distance simulation-based encounter.

This study demonstrates that large-group SP encounters can serve as appropriate platforms for IPE activities when in-person or at a distance. The findings of this study help to demonstrate how distance-simulation encounters used for IPE can be used to provide meaningful learning.

Non-dairy milk was produced from bioprocessed Bambara groundnut using submerged fermentation with bacterial strains of Lactobacillus plantarum [NRRL B-4306] and Lactobacillus fermentum [NRRL B-1932] obtained from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Bambara groundnut was submerged in sterile water, inoculated with the starter culture containing 106 CFU/mL, and allowed to stand for 3 days. Bambara milk was produced by wet-milling the nut and the resulting paste cooked on medium heat for 20 min and strained with cheesecloth to remove the particles. Milk from non-inoculated Bambara nut and cow milk was used as positive and negative controls for sensory characteristics and nutritional comparison. The nutritional and sensory profile was compared to meet WHO recommended daily intake (RDA) with cow milk. Proximate composition of the samples ranged from 20.80 - 19.70, 57.20 - 52.25, 6.80 - 8.79% and 368.10 - 425.10 Kcal/100g for protein, carbohydrate, fat and energy, respectively. Results show that protein content of the fermented Bambara milk (19.70) was higher than cow milk (3.4) while fat content (8.79) was higher compared to cow milk (3.6 g/100g). Amino acids content ranged from 3.90 - 5.00, 9.00 - 14.20, 5.62 - 6.80, 0.6 – 0.92, 17.20 – 19.50, 3.35 – 3.80, 2.50 – 3.00, 3.80 – 4.15, 7.00 – 8.00, 2.90 – 4.50, 2.80 – 3.20, 4.80 – 5.10, 3.80 – 4.50, 2.60 – 3.80, 2.60 – 4.00, 3.50 – 3.90 and 4.10 – 4.85 for alanine, arginine, aspartic acid, cystine, glutamic acid, histidine, isoluecine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tyrosine and valine, respectively. In-vitro protein digestibility increased from 70.74 - 89.70%, while anti-nutritional factors decreased from 4.72 – 2.08, 870.30 – 383.70, 1470.15 – 1023.10 and 1.85 – 0.55 mg/100g for tannin, polyphenol, phytate, oxalate and trypsin inhibition activity, respectively. Intensities of the sensory attributes was assessed based on parameters of appearance, aroma, mouth feel, consistency and overall acceptability using a nine-point Hedonic scale rating, and the results found to compare favorably with cow milk.
Sermaye Yapısı Kararlarında Hisse Başına Kar Analizi ve Faiz Değişimlerinin Analiz Üzerine Etkisi
Authors: YENER Erol
Published: April 2023

Firmaların sermaye yapıları, ağırlıklı ortalama sermaye maliyetlerini etkilediklerinden son derece önemlidir. Ağırlıklı ortalama sermaye maliyeti ise, firmanın piyasa değerinin belirlenmesinde kullanılan en önemli değişkenlerden biridir. Bu nedenle firmalar, sermaye yapılarını belirlerken kendileri için ağırlıklı ortalama sermaye maliyetinin en düşük olduğu kaynak bileşenini seçerler. Bu bileşene ise optimal sermaye bileşeni adı verilir. Optimal sermaye bileşeninin bulunmasına yönelik olarak kullanılan yöntemlerden biri, alternatif finans seçenekleri arasında hisse başına getiriyi maksimum kılan seçeneğin seçilmesi esasına dayanan Hisse Başına Kar (HBK) Analizi’dir.

Ekonominin dengede, faiz oranları ve faiz oranlarındaki oynaklığın düşük olduğu durumlarda Hisse Başına Kar analizindeki faiz oranı değişkeni analiz sonuçlarını etkilemeyebilir. Ancak, ekonominin dengede olmadığı, enflasyonun ve dolayısıyla faiz oranının yüksek olduğu Türkiye gibi ülkelerde faiz oranları sürekli değişmektedir. Bu durumda HBK Analizinin, faiz oranlarının yüksek ve değişken olduğu ülkeler için yeniden ele alınmasında fayda vardır. Sonuçta bu yöntem, finansmanda sermaye yapısı kararlarında kullanılmaktadır ve finans kitaplarında tek değişkene göre çözülmektedir. Bu nedenle çalışmada, öncelikle sermaye yapısı konusu irdelenmiş, ardından Hisse Başına Kar Analizi, analizin dayandığı her bir değişken dikkate alınarak yeniden incelenmiştir. Yapılan çalışmada, kaynak ihtiyacı ve FVÖK seviyesinin analiz üzerinde bir etkisinin olmadığı, ancak faiz oranlarındaki değişimin analiz sonuçlarını etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

The aim here is to investigate the behavior of pedestal/belled piles present in soft clay soil through numericalanalysis using Plaxis 2D software. The method used here was based on finite element analysis to simulate pile-soilinteraction and to analyze the pile’s behavior under different loads by varying parameters such as length embeddedin the soil and also the diameter of the shaft. The results indicate that increase in length as well as the shaft diameterof the pile enhances the pile’s load-bearing capacity. The study also shows that the pedestal/bell pile can improvethe pile’s performance in soft clay soil by reducing the soil’s displacement and increasing the pile’s axial capacityin comparison to conventional straight pile. The study concludes that the pedestal/belled pile is a promising optionfor the foundation of structures in soft clay soil, and the numerical analysis using Plaxis 2D software can providequick and reliable predictions of the pile’s behavior. The study’s findings can be useful for optimizing the designof pedestal/belled piles in soft clay soil and improving the efficiency and safety of foundation systems in similargeotechnical conditions.

METHODOLOGY FOR DETERMINING HONESTY AS A STABLE PERSONALITY TRAIT
Authors: Карпова Л.А.
Published: April 2023

В исследовании рассматривается вопрос выявления честности как устойчивого качества личности. В многочисленных исследованиях современных психологов зачастую изучаются только определенные стороны честности, без учета полного спектра качеств, присущих честным людям. Также честность частично рассматривается разработчиками различных тестов, призванных выявить черты характера соискателей определенных вакансий – данные опросы используются при приеме новых сотрудников на работу. Однако даже при общей успешности и объективности подобных тестов в них нередко отсутствуют факторы, позволяющие адаптировать их для представителей разных культур. Данное исследование нацелено на разработку теста, способного выявить честность и позволить оценить уровень ее развития у респондентов разных возрастов и уровней образования. Для достижения цели разработан стимульный материал опроса, сформирована группа респондентов, подобраны сравнительные шкалы исследования, проведен анализ и интерпретация результатов. На основе полученных результатов сделано заключение об эффективности используемой методики при выявлении честности.

The study examines the issue of identifying honesty as a stable quality of personality. In numerous studies of modern psychologists, only certain aspects of honesty are often studied, without taking into account the full range of qualities inherent in honest people. Also, honesty is partially considered by the developers of various tests designed to identify the character traits of applicants for certain vacancies – these surveys are used when hiring new employees. However, even with the overall success and objectivity of such tests, they often lack factors that allow them to be adapted for representatives of different cultures. This study is aimed at developing a test that can identify honesty and allow to assess the level of its development in respondents of different ages and levels of education. To achieve the goal, the incentive material of the survey was developed, a group of respondents was formed, comparative scales of the study were selected, analysis and interpretation of the results were carried out. Based on the results obtained, a conclusion is made about the effectiveness of the methodology used in identifying honesty.

In order for a country to run well, it is necessary to have a well-run public bureaucracy. But unfortunately, the perception of the bureaucracy in Indonesia itself is very bad, where the bureaucracy is considered as convoluted, too many rules and very inefficient. This research then aims to look at how bureaucratic reform and good governance are reoriented in organizing the public sector in Indonesia. This research will be carried out using a descriptive qualitative approach. The data used in this study were obtained from various research results and previous studies. The results of this study then found that a clean and democratic government system must be a priority for society and government. Efforts to achieve this can be carried out through the application of the principles of good governance. In its implementation, governance reorientation can be carried out by involving stakeholders, the public and the private sector.

Abstract

[Stars in the Perspective of the Al-Quran]Human observation of this nature is to prove the signs of Allah's power and greatness through His verses, and to increase the level of faith and piety of a servant to Allah by observing the signs of His creation. The star is one of the proofs of God's power and greatness that humans should take lessons from, the star is a means to know God rationally, and serves to inspire reason. tars have an important role in human life. A star is one of the celestial bodies that have and emits light, generally seen at night. For example, stars decorate the sky, as a signpost. Because it is so urgent that even Allah uses the stars as an instrument of oath. Stars are God's creations that store a lot of wisdom behind His existence. As for in the Koran the word star is referred to by 5 terms, namely al-Najm, al-Buruj, al-Kaukab, Al-Toriq and al-Khunnas. These have their respective classifications and differences. Of course, these terms are not born just like that, but they have their own meaning from Allah.

Fazlur Rahman is a man who has various thoughts related to the issue of the Qur'an and Hadith, Rahman's presence in the list of names of Islamic thinkers brings something new to the renewal of Islam. Appear as a brilliant figure in formulating the method of interpretation of the Koran. Fazlur Rahman provides a more convincing method of interpretation, which lies in the use of philosophy, social sciences and humanities. The conceptual framework that Rahman built is often called the double movement hermeneutics. This is because in the process it involves a double movement, namely from the problem of the present situation to the time the Koran was revealed and from the time of the Koran back to the present problem. In this method the emphasis is on the basic ideas of the Koran or its moral ideals compared to the specific legal. Another term in the meaning that Fazlur Rahman puts forward the content of the universal meaning rather than the literal-particular meaning. The method formulated by Rahman finally not only contributed to the development of the Qur'anic interpretation method, but also influenced the ijtihad process in the context of answering the social-religious problems of the present era.
