The Theoretical Contributions of Asian Criminology in Reconstructing Criminology
Authors: Yu Pin , Liu Jianhong
Published: October 2023

A recent primary development in criminology is a growing recognition that there has been Western domination in knowledge production and dissemination. The imbalance of knowledge in criminology is a significant weakness of the discipline. Prominent scholars have called for the decolonisation of criminological knowledge to correct this bias. Asian criminology and Southern criminology are the latest developments and promising forces in decolonising criminology (Liu 2018; Moosavi 2018). One of Asian criminology’s exceptional contributions to the current decolonisation movement is its significant theoretical achievements. This paper reviews theoretical efforts in Asian criminology and the theoretical innovation of the theoretical works, particularly those developed by Liu (Liu 2014; 2016; 2017; 2021a; 2022; 2023). It shows how theory development in criminology can gain insights from observations based on Asian contexts. The paper provides an update on these developments and their contributions to the reconstruction of criminology.
Board governance in interorganisational collaborations: A case study of the homelessness sector
Authors:   , Leebeek Maria
Published: October 2023

There has been a great desire for collaborating in the nonprofit, government, and business sectors, however, there have been ongoing challenges in both implementation and sustainability. The purpose of this research was to examine the factors that influenced organizational collaborative intent with a particular focus on board role and decision making within the nonprofit sector. Using a case study of a homelessness collaboration in Queensland the research found that the boundary spanning functions of nonprofit boards was not rated as highly as monitoring and conforming. This lack of prioritizing on boundary spanning impacted on the organizations' collaborative intent and success.
Job Stress and Its Effects on Job Satisfaction and Job Commitment among Rescue 1122 Workers in Multantion and Job Commitment among Rescue 1122 Workers in Multan
Authors: Hussain Malik Murreed , Hussain Mubbishar , Tariq Muhammad
Published: October 2023

This study was conducted to explore the presence of job stress, job satisfaction, and job commitment among workers of Rescue 1122, along with the role of job stress between job satisfaction and job commitment. The sample consisted of 130 rescue workers who were selected through simple random sampling. The data was collected from the Rescue 1122 stations of Multan city. It was hypothesized that job stress plays a significant role between job satisfaction and job commitment among rescue 1122 workers. The Organizational Commitment Scale (OCS) developed by Meyer, Allen, and Smith (1993), the Subjective Job Stress Scale developed by Motowidlo, Packard, and Manning (1986), and the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) developed by Spector (1985) were used as data collection tools. All the participants were properly briefed about the aim and objective of the research, and the data was collected with the consent of all participants. Correlation and mediation analysis were conducted to analyze the data. The findings revealed that job stress is negatively correlated with job satisfaction and job stress among rescue workers. Job stress plays a significant role in increasing or decreasing the level of job satisfaction and job commitment.
Strategies of Legitimization through Axiological Proximization in War Poetry
Authors: Khan Faisal , Haidar Sham , Masroor Farzana
Published: October 2023

Despite an increased interest in war studies and militant discourse in recent years, proximization and legitimization perspectives remain scarce. This paper investigates such perspectives in war poetry by proposing a framework of axiological proximization. In this paper, we have focused upon axiological proximization that is a forced construal of a mounting ideological conflict between the political speaker and his/her enemy. This paper focuses on rhetoric of war poetry from Afghanistan and Kashmir concerning legitimization strategies. The study is qualitative in nature and lays emphasis upon the ways war poetry as a critical language embarks upon proximization and legitimization strategies especially via axiological proximization. The movement from ideological clash to the physical conflict is an essential part of axiological conflict. Axiological proximization marks the “self” with positive home-values and the “other” with alien values. This leads to antagonism between the ‘home values’ of the political speaker and ‘alien values’ of the enemy. The mechanism of axiological proximization is a salient feature of rhetoric of war poetry from Afghanistan and Kashmir where the two antagonistic ideologies are contrasted: freedom of the East versus negative values of the West.

Authors: Badalyan M.V. , Aloyan T.B. , Barseghyan A.H. , Melikyan A.Sh.
Published: October 2023

Using DNA banks or gene libraries is the most efficient method of protecting and managing valuable, endangered, and rare gene pools. Genomic libraries are collections of bacteria colonies with restriction sites on their genomic DNA that contain desired genes from a specific organism. The “Scientific Center of AgroBiotechnology” branch of ANAU has created gene libraries of 34 plant species, which are preserved in the National Genebank of Crops and their Wild Relatives, which forms a basis for genomic selection. This allows genetic identification, barcoding, DNA formula decoding, and, most importantly, is the basis for genome identification. Based on the results, plasmids can incorporate restriction segments of genomic DNA and be efficiently transformed. The high level of correlation between the number of necessary clones and the efficiency of transformation of all studied plant species proves the completeness of the gene pool.

Published: October 2023

Application of fertilizers is among the prior agriculture measures to achieve sustainable potato yield in conditions of leached soils of Lori region, poor in essential plant nutrients. The field experiments established that to obtain maximum potato yield in addition to the introduction of the main mineral fertilizer (NPK) it is necessary to apply complex water-soluble fertilizer (CWF) via foliar feeding thrice during the vegetation period with 10-12 days of interval. In this case the yield amount was 286 c/ha, 40.0 % of which was large and 35.0 % were medium size. The tuber’s chemical composition was also improved. In the case of using N120P120K120 the yield amount was 261.0 c/ha, out of which 30.2 % were large and 40.5 % were medium size, while in the control variant 207.5 c/ha yield was received, out of which only 15.1 % were large and 35.9 % – medium in size.

The article examines the process of long-term and constant contact between the ancient Slavic and Turkic ethnic groups of people, which led to some shift in the cultural paradigm of both contacting peoples. However, the deep value paradigms of culture in both groups of ethnic groups were preserved for a long time. In a comparative aspect, equipollent ideological ideas (mythologems denoting solar, lunar and other symbols) of ancient times, on the one hand, are considered in comparison with the original Slavic pagan deities, on the other, with the ancient names of mythological deities inherent in the ancient Turks. As a result of the application of acculturation methods and techniques, we identified the original values of the cultures of both super-ethnic groups, which have not undergone significant changes and transformations. Some cultural paradigms in worldview have undergone certain shifts at the mental level. As a result of this process, the functional unity of both contacting ethnic groups was broken, then, over a certain period of time, a new balance was established, which was reflected, first of all, in the worldview of both ethnic groups. There was an equivalent semantic similarity in some solar and lunar pagan deities in the compared cultures. We have determined that some reflexes and rudiments of past relationships have been preserved in the customs and beliefs of cultures

Published: October 2023

In this rapidly advancing technological era, the demand for the real estate industry has also increased, including in the field of house price prediction. House prices fluctuate every year due to several factors such as changes in land prices, location, year of construction, infrastructure developments, and other factors. Numerous studies have been conducted on this issue. However, the challenge lies in building a proven accurate and effective model for predicting house prices with the abundance of features present in the dataset. The objective of this research is to develop a predictive model that can accurately estimate house prices based on relevant features or variables. The researcher utilizes ensemble learning techniques, combining the Gradient Boosted Regression Trees (GBRT) and XGBoost algorithms. The dataset used in this article is titled "Ames Housing dataset" obtained from Kaggle. The predictive model is then evaluated using the Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) method. The RMSE result from a previous study that used the combination of Lasso and XGBoost was 0.11260, while the RMSE result from this research is 0.00480. This indicates a decrease in the RMSE value, indicating a lower level of error in the model. It also means that the combination of GBRT and XGBoost algorithms successfully improves the prediction accuracy of the previous research model.

Bullying goes beyond youthful behavior and continues long after students graduate from school. Colleges and universities shouldn't ignore bullying even though they are places that respect knowledge and intellect. But neither of these suppositions is true at all. According to a survey, bullying in various forms is pervasive in higher education. Unexpectedly, some components of the culture of higher education appear to actively foster some types of bullying. The study on bullying at colleges and universities is summarized in this document, together with information on its definition, frequency, and characteristics. The difficulties that have been found and their remedies are also examined. The conclusion emphasizes the necessity for educational institutions to make more efforts to eliminate bullying. To do this, schools and institutions should look to their core values and traditions for direction when creating more effective anti-bullying policies.

Published: October 2023

Since the initial epizootic of the Formosan ferret-badger (FFB) rabies outbroke in 2013, the enzootic area of the FFB rabies has always been limited to six counties and three cities in Taiwan. These six counties and three cities, from north to south, are Taichung City, Nantou County, Yunlin County, Chiayi County, Tainan City, Kaohsiung City, Hualien County, Taitung County, and Pingtung County. They are located south of the Daan River and the Heping River, the latter is on the east side of the Daan River. In January 2023, ten years after 2013, under the annual Surveillance Program for the Detection of the FFB rabies instituted by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Agency (APHIA), Ministry of Agriculture, it was found that the FFB rabies virus had spread across the Daan River and entered Miaoli County, which is located in the north side of the Daan River. The previously naïve populations of FFBs in Miaoli County were infected; therefore, another initial massive epizootic of the FFB rabies cannot be ruled out in areas north of the Daan River and the Heping River in the future.
Innovation and strategy in clinical research with the SCIOSM method
Authors: Candida Fratazzi MD  , Wade Fox BS
Published: October 2023

Innovation in clinical research is a long-term need due to several factors, including the high failure rate and skyrocketing costs. Healthcare has been changing rapidly for many years. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated by helping drive the shift to value-based healthcare. Instead, the productivity of pharmaceutical development has been declining due to high failure rates in clinical research. The SCIO method is an innovative and strategic method implementing a tailored approach to drug development. The SCIO method customizes strategy and roadmap for pharmaceutical and biological candidates allowing robust clinical data generation and informed decision-making during the early clinical development stages. The complexity of diseases contributes to the high failure rate and increases the cost of research. Clinical research in developing new drugs and treatments is associated with a high late failure rate. Late-stage trial failures can delay patients' access to potentially lifesaving or disease-modifying treatments. Strategy is valuable in reducing late clinical trial failure. A well-developed and carefully executed strategy helps mitigate risks, optimize trial design and execution, and increase the chances of successful outcomes. A failed trial can harm the credibility by raising concerns about the research methods, the quality of the data, or the reliability of the therapy under investigation. The SCIO is an innovative drug development method, including a strategic approach before initiating clinical trials that ensure a solid scientific basis and a reasonable likelihood of success in human trials.

Consilium quattuor delectorum a Paulo III super reformatione Ecclesiae
Authors: González Marcos Isaac
Published: October 2023

Como homenaje agradecido al historiador agustino Carlos Alonso Vañes, ofrezco este trabajo fruto de un seminario realizado en 1998 en la Universidad Gregoriana de Roma, en el que el P. Carlos tuvo cierta participación al ayudarme a traducir algunas expresiones latinas. Trabajo que consta de tres partes. En la primera explicaré brevemente los desafíos de la Iglesia en el siglo XVI (América, el imperio turco, la relación de la Iglesia con el Imperio y con Francia, las divisiones internas de la Iglesia y la reforma de la Iglesia, haciendo hincapié en algunas voces de dicha reforma). El segundo capítulo estará dedicado a la reforma del papa Pablo III (1534-1549): la renovación del colegio cardenalicio, la comisión de 9 cardenales, la convocatoria del Concilio de Trento, las nuevas órdenes y tribunales, así como la reforma de la Dataría, las tasas y el fiscalismo y sobre todo la Comisión creada para la Reforma en 1537, el Concilium que da título al artículo, las vicisitudes por las que pasa y sus principales protagonistas (Jérôme Aléander, Tomás Badía, Gian Pietro Carafa, Gasparo Contarini, Bartolomeo Guidicione y Laurerio Dionisio). El meollo de la cuestión era si el Datario podía exigir una contribución económica por las composiciones (divididas en gracias temporales y espirituales, y estas, a su vez, en  dispensas de pecados o de leyes). En las gracias espirituales el parecer de algunos era que se caía en una auténtica simonía. Gaspar Contareno no lo creía así si había una intención justa. Si bien los cardenales con realística crudeza hablan de que no es honesto, sino que es una auténtica simonía.
Los Talleres de Santa Rita, una iniciativa social de carácter agustiniano
Authors: Lazcano González Rafael
Published: October 2023

De los tres aspectos relacionados con la popular “Santa de imposibles”, devoción, culto y caridad, en el presente trabajo se ofrece una sucinta historia acerca de la asistencia social a pobres y necesitados efectuada por la Asociación Talleres de Santa Rita, fundada en Madrid a primeros del siglo XX. El animador y organizador de esta obra social fue el agustino Salvador Font, quien proporcionó el método de trabajo y el Reglamento para su aprobación por el obispo de Madrid-Alcalá (1902), dando forma legal a los Talleres de Santa Rita. Tras la bendición y conformidad de los Talleres por parte de León XIII (1903) y san Pío X (1907), llegaron la fama, los elogios y la expansión de la nueva institución social, con arraigo en varias ciudades de España, Argentina, Brasil, México, Perú y Filipinas, y su vasto quehacer social humanitario  mediante la confección de ropa y vestidos por un grupo de mujeres, pioneras en la ayuda social, que luego distribuyen entre pobres y necesitados.

Published: October 2023

Son varias las reformas que ha sufrido la Orden de San Agustín en el Río de la Plata (actual Argentina), pero si analizamos los resultados hay serias dudas de las intenciones reales que las impulsaron. Esta afirmación la hacemos porque todavía continúa siendo verídico que “por sus frutos los conoceréis”, y estos en las pretendidas reformas son muy distintos, porque distintos son los criterios aplicados en cada una de ellas, lo que ya ofrece un buen punto de apoyo para sacar sus correspondientes interpretaciones.

The Hidden God? Karl Barth and Qoheleth on the Deus Absconditus
Authors: Cameron Bradley S.
Published: October 2023

Biblical scholars of the Old Testament have long upheld that YHWH is a “hidden God.” In fact, the hiddenness of God finds robust expression in the book of Ecclesiastes, where the concept seems to frame the very idea of God. Yet Karl Barth famously opposed Luther’s Deus absconditus, whose existence suggested a God “behind the back” of Jesus. If Barth is right that YHWH is no Deus absconditus, what then of Qohelet’s claim that divine hiddenness is an essential theological affirmation? The goal of this article is to examine how Barth’s discomfort with the Deus absconditus can be reconciled with the fact that divine hiddenness seems to frame Qoheleth’s theological perspective. On the side of systematics, we must determine what Barth says about hiddenness and the Deus absconditus: why, how, and to what degree he challenges the notion. As I shall argue, Barth’s complex theology of revelation exhibits a tension, both affirming a certain notion of God’s “hiddenness” and denying the Deus absconditus. On the biblical side, we must determine the nature and content of Qohelet’s God-talk. I will argue that many descriptions of the God-talk of Ecclesiastes are exaggerated and insensitive to Qohelet’s larger theological perspective. In the end, a more nuanced reading of both Barth and Qoheleth can bring these giants into conversation with one another and perhaps even clarify what is left ambiguous in Ecclesiastes’s theological assertions.
The National Marine Educators Association (NMEA) 2018 Membership Profile
Authors: Philippoff Joanna , East Jenny
Published: October 2023

In 2018 a questionnaire was administered to the National Marine Educators Association (NMEA) membership to better understand the composition of its members. The purpose of this survey was to both assist NMEA leadership in engaging in data-driven decision-making when creating programs and serve as a foundation upon which to base and reflect on diversity initiatives. A 2002 membership survey allowed us to gauge changes in some demographic metrics over time. The 2018 survey had a response rate of 61% (N = 385). Members predominantly identified as white (82%) and female (70%). They were highly educated (70% held a masters’ or doctorate degree) and coastally based (67% lived within 25 miles of the ocean). Since 2002 there has been an increase in the percentage of members identifying as female (60 to 70%) and those indicating they were older than 61 (~10 to 25%). Over this same period members identifying as white decreased (97 to 82%) and the percentage of formal educators in the organization decreased (46 to 33%). Results from the 2018 survey provided additional insight into members’ educational training, geographic distribution, organization engagement, and familiarity with the Ocean Literacy Principles. These results can contribute to improved NMEA programming and serve as a benchmark upon which to reflect on changes to the organization’s composition over time. We think findings will help all marine educators, regardless of NMEA membership, situate their work in the broader marine education community and may inform other non-profit volunteer organizations how to conduct surveys to better understand their own membership.
Study of the effect of the combination of protective gases on the structure of the weld bead for the GMAW process using pulsed arc and short circuit
Authors: Segovia Juan C. , Segovia Carlos M. , Monar Tamara S.
Published: October 2023

A weld bead's geometry directly influences the welded joint's physical characteristics and mechanical performance. The composition of the shielding gas directly affects the form of metal transfer during the welding process and, therefore, modifies the geometry of the weld seam obtained. In addition, metal transfer methods also influence the configuration of the weld bead profile. The objective is to analyze the geometry of the weld bead with different combinations of  shielding gases and metal transfer modes in the continuous wire electric arc welding process with gas shielding (GMAW). To achieve this objective, a methodology is proposed to analyze the weld bead's penetration and other geometric parameters. This is achieved by varying the percentages of the gas mixture between Ar and CO2 and by employing different types of metal  transfer, such as short circuit, pulsed, and PMC multi-control pulsed. Generally, when using only CO2 as shielding gas, a wide, round weld bead is obtained. If Ar alone is used, the weld bead profile has a very thin shape and deep penetration. With the mixture of Ar and CO2, a bead is  obtained with good penetration and sufficient width to cover the two test tubes without empty spaces between the base and filler materials. The macrographic analysis of the chords with their respective measurements is presented, and the geometric parameters of the obtained chords are tabulated. The penetration of the bead is directly proportional to the percentage of CO2 present in the mixture. In a comparison between the three transfer modes used with the  same gas composition, it is found that  the pulsed spray mode produces greater penetration.

La plataforma Java EE (Enterprise Edition) permite el desarrollo de software de tipo empresarial, cubriendo todas las capas que una aplicación monolítica requiere, pero carece de funcionalidades reactivas de manera nativa, lo que ocasiona un menor desempeño en la presentación de información al usuario final. Este problema afecta a los usuarios, porque la información que se visualiza en sus pantallas probablemente ya está desactualizada. En esta investigación se plantea comprobar la integración entre Java EE (plataforma backend) y Angular (framework frontend), con el propósito de mejorar el tiempo de respuesta para el usuario. Se utiliza el método Design Science Research como ruta principal de la investigación para determinar el problema, los antecedentes, la situación actual y los objetivos del proyecto propuesto. La parte teórica incluye información sobre plataformas tecnológicas y la metodología para el desarrollo del software propuesto. Se implementa una capa de servicios REST para proporcionar información de un sistema utilizado como caso de estudio en la Universidad Técnica del Norte, que se denomina SIAD (Sistema Integrado de Actividades Docentes), dicho servicio es consumido por la aplicación web Angular. Por otro lado, se ejecutan las pantallas JSF, las cuales consumen la información proporcionada por los componentes EJB. Finalmente, se ejecutan los dos tipos de clientes web (JSF y Angular) y se valida el desempeño utilizando el estándar ISO/IEC 25010. Se puede concluir de manera global que, los componentes reactivos de Angular mejoran el indicador de desempeño del sistema informático en un 21%.

THE ACCURACY OF RISK SCORES IN PREDICTING PRETERM BIRTH : A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Porman Surtana Siahaan Hatsari Marintan
Published: October 2023

Introduction: Preterm birth (PTB) is a leading cause of infant illness and death. PTB is spontaneous in two-thirds of instances.  SPTB is problematic because it has several causes. If SPTB has occurred before, it will likely happen again. PTB is hard to forecast because the scenario is varied and there are many causes and risk factors. Risk score accuracy in predicting premature birth is discussed.
 The aim: This study demonstrated the accurateness of risk score predictions for premature birth.
 Methods: This study demonstrated that it met all of the requirements by comparing itself to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. As a result, the specialists were able to ensure that the study was as up to date as possible. Publications published between 2013 and 2023 were considered for this search strategy. This was accomplished using a variety of online reference sources, including Pubmed and SagePub. It was chosen not to include review pieces, previously published works, or works that were just partially completed.
 Result: In the PubMed database, the results of our search brought up 415 articles and SagePub 366 articles. The results of the search conducted for the last year of 2013 yielded a total 56 articles for PubMed and 49 articles from SagePub. In the end, we compiled a total of 10 papers.
 Conclusion: Preterm birth has been associated to a short cervix, a maternal age over 35, a maternal body mass index above 25, smoking, and concomitant risk factors like hypertension and diabetes.

Objective: This research aims to describe the decision-making profile of mathematics teachers in designing mathematical assignments based on teaching experience. Method: The subjects of this study were mathematics teachers in junior high school education units with a bachelor's degree in mathematics education, including one senior teacher (ST) and one novice teacher (NT). The researcher used a task sheet for making a mathematical task design (TSMTD) and an interview guide as instruments for data collection. Results:  The results showed that both novice and senior teachers identified problems by mentioning known information, but novice teachers tended to modify textbook assignments as materials for designing questions. In collecting information, beginner and senior teachers compared ideas from previous experiences, but senior teachers considered the context of the questions to be designed. Beginner teachers submitted problems by raising the theme of comparing values and transforming values with different resolution processes, while senior teachers considered several contexts and chose multiple alternative solutions. Both beginner and senior teachers checked all the questions designed and assessed the feasibility of the solutions generated from the task. Novelty: This research contributes to the understanding of the decision-making profile of mathematics teachers in designing assignments based on their teaching experience, highlighting the differences between novice and senior teachers in terms of problem identification, information collection, problem submission, and checking of designed questions.
