Authors: Ariani Salma Aulia Farahdina , Prasetyoningsih Nanik
Published: July 2022

At the end of 2019, Law Number 19 of 2019 concerning the Second Amendment to Law Number 30 of 2002 concerning the Corruption Eradication Commission was passed. The revision of the Corruption Eradication Commission Law (KPK Law) has generated polemics and interesting issues to discuss.The author wants to examine the role of the KPK in enforcing the law to eradicating corruption in Indonesia. The author will examine how the role of the KPK is compared to the position of the Attorney General's Office and the Police, and analyze the role of KPK in the KPK Law before and after the revision. This research is a normative-empirical legal research, with statutory approach. The results of this study show that the Police, the Prosecutor's Office and the Corruption Eradication Commission both play a role in law enforcement to eradicate corruption. The difference, the three law enforcement agencies in eradicating corruption lies in their existence in the 1945 Constitution, their role in investigations, handling based on case values, and coordination of handling corruption. As for the existence of Law Number 19 of 2019 there are several amendments in the KPK, (1) position of the KPK as a law enforcement agency in the executive branch, (2) establishment of the KPK Supervisory Board, (3) implementation of the wiretapping function, (4) mechanism for issuing an Investigation Termination Order (SP3) (5) institutional coordination of the KPK with other law enforcement (6) search and seizure mechanism, and (7) KPK staffing system.

Authors: Rajendran Manimaran
Published: July 2022

We tracked the inflammatory mediators and blood gases ratios to evaluate the progress of treatment with Itolizumab administered in 5 critically ill patients against other therapeutic options in COVID 19 negative patients admitted to the ICU with ARDS. All patients had PaO2/FiO2 ratio <200>25mm Hg, while inflammatory markers such as D-Dimer value of > 0.21 g/L and IL-6 values >150 up to 1250 pg/ml at the time of admission. Radiological images were evaluated for improvement, patients requiring ventilator support were intubated and when the patient’s PaO2 was within normal range, they were extubated. The prognostic indicators were measured till clinical outcomes in patients were met in all 10 patients of which 5 received Itolizumab on day 2 of hospitalization. All prognostic indicators showed a decline in inflammatory markers, proportionate improvement in PaO2/FiO2 values, and a reduction in PaCo2 values. All patients treated with Itolizumab were recovered and discharged, while one patient died and did not receive Itolizumab.

Published: July 2022

This article analyzes the national characteristics of nickname anthroponyms practiced in English and American ethnolinguistics and linguoculture. The bases of the national-cultural marking of nicknames are determined. Their status in the language and society, in diachrony and synchrony, is described. Their semantics and functional-pragmatic potential are considered. In addition, the article deals with the problems of the modern status of nicknames as secondary unofficial names, which is a consequence of the development of means of linguistic identity of a person in society. The result was a division of anthroponyms into official and unofficial names based on the opposition "primary - secondary".

Authors: Petrov S.M. , Podgornova N.M. , Tuzhilkin V.I.
Published: July 2022

The results of environmental assessment of emissions of pollutants (pollutants), greenhouse gas CO2 and odor emissions from sugar factories into the air are presented. The discrepancy in the interpretation of industrial environmental control on the basis of the concept of the best available technologies (BAT) for the technological line of sugar production and the requirements of environmental legislation for a sugar plant as an anthropogenic object of monitoring is shown. To achieve the effect of reducing the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, twostage saturation of defecation juice was studied using jet technology. Various options of hardware design for the practical implementation of the injection process of saturation have been proposed.

Authors: Moradzadeh Rahmatollah , Mirgaloybayat Shahla
Published: July 2022

Background: Identifying the local foci and clusters of diseases can help reduce incidence and mortality by making necessary interventions. This study aimed to detect possible colorectal cancer incidence clusters using spatial analyses at point-level data at small census units in Arak, Iran, from 2009 to 2014.
Methods: In this ecologic study, recorded data on colorectal cancer in Arak were collected from the Arak Cancer Registry. All records were evaluated using various methods to detect and resolve probable error events or duplicated records. Then, SaTScan software was used to explore spatial clusters. The Discrete Poisson-based Probability Model was utilized to analyze the clusters.
Results: A total of 398 incident cases of colorectal cancer were identified. The mean age at diagnosis was 62.8 ± 14.6 years. Among colorectal cancer cases, 179 (45%) and 219 (55%) were females and males, respectively. Most cases were categorized with colon topography codes (n = 119, 66.5%). Three spatial clusters of colorectal cancer using individual geocodes were detected. The most high-risk cluster was located near the southern highway in Arak, a highway with transit routes for heavy and light vehicles (p=0.0004). The second significant high-risk cluster was a district located in the vast part of the center of Arak (p=0.003). The third high-risk cluster was an area in the suburb of Arak, between Farmahin-Arak Road and Northern highway (p=0.06).
Conclusion: This study identified three essential clusters for the high incidence of colorectal cancer in Arak. The data would be useful for further evaluation of the environmental and lifestyle factors. Furthermore, the obtained pattern might be related to confounding impacts of environmental and lifestyle factors.

Published: July 2022

Background: 4T1 is a mice transplantable mammary carcinoma cell line with highly tumorigenic and invasive properties, making it a suitable preclinical oncology model for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). This pilot study aimed to create a model of clinical stages in TNBC mice and to evaluate the response to treatment with paclitaxel (PTX) and doxorubicin (DOX) based on antiangiogenic effects.
Methods: Syngeneic tumors were developed in BALB/c female mice by 4T1 cell line. The mice were randomly distributed into three different groups, each containing four. A group of four was considered as healthy normal. When tumor growth reached 100- 200 mm3 , two groups received the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of PTX and DOX, respectively. Normal saline was injected into the sham control group. The tumors and tissue margins were removed by surgery one week following chemotherapy. Angiogenesis genes and microvessel density (MVD) were analyzed by real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry, respectively. Response to treatment was also assessed by standard methods of H&E staining.
Results: TNBC tumors were confirmed by pathological staining. The volume of tumors and the angiogenesis gene expressions of VEGFR1, VEGFR2, and HIF1α decreased in treated tumors compared to control (p < 0.05). Response to treatment to PTX was more than DOX, and the MVD decreased in both PTX and DOX chemotherapy groups.
Conclusion: Although PTX is more effective than DOX in reducing angiogenesis genes, both have the potential for treatment in the 4T1 mouse model.

Published: July 2022

Background and Aims: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammation of the skin caused by the proliferation of inappropriately differentiated horn cells, resulting in plaque psoriasis formation. It is not often fatal, and it may lead to physical disabilities and severe mental stress in which professional and social activities could be highly affected. It is generally accepted that the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-CW06 allele has a significant role in the onset of this disease.
Materials and Methods: This study determines the association between the HLA-CW06 allele and psoriasis. The present case-control study was conducted to evaluate the relation between HLA-CW06 and psoriasis in a population in Iran. This study was performed on 30 samples of patients with psoriasis.
Results: The results of polymerase chain reaction- sequence-specific primers for the detection of HLA-CW06 showed positive amplification in 7 out of 30 psoriasis patients as compared to 4 among 30 controls.
Conclusion: This study showed that due to different allele frequencies associated with psoriasis in different parts of the world, it seems that other genetic and epigenetic factors may be involved in this disease.

Enterococcus faecalis es un microorganismo considerado como agente etiológico de diferentes procesos infecciosos, tales como: infecciones de la piel, osteomielitis, neumonía, infecciones del tracto urinario, endocarditis, entre otros, siendo los pacientes nosocomiales una población más vulnerable a esta bacteria. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar la actividad antibacteriana in vitro de extractos metanólicos y clorofórmicos de las plantas Peperomia galioides, Otholobium mexicanum, Zingiber officinale y Rosmarinus officinalis frente a Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 51299 (resistente a la vancomicina) y una cepa clínica de Enterococcus faecalis. Para la evaluación de esta bioactividad se utilizó la metodología de microdilución y puntos de corte establecidos por la CLSI (2021) para Enterococcus faecalis y los resultados obtenidos se expresaron en IC50. El IC50 de mayor interés se obtuvo con el extracto clorofórmico de Otholobium mexicanum frente a la cepa clínica, siendo de 2.050 μg/mL, considerándose como muy activo. El IC50 más destacable de Peperomia galioides se obtuvo con el extracto clorofórmico frente a la cepa clínica con un valor de 8.248 μg/mL, considerándolo como ligeramente activo. Para Rosmarinus officinalis, solo el extracto metanólico mostró una ligera actividad antibacteriana con un IC50 de 20.234 μg/mL frente a Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212. Finalmente, todos los extractos de Zingiber officinale no mostraron actividad frente a las concentraciones probadas de las diferentes cepas de Enterococcus faecalis. Los resultados obtenidos son de gran relevancia ya que pueden ser aplicados para la producción de antimicrobianos a partir de fuentes naturales que podrían tener aplicación dentro de la industria farmacéutica, veterinaria o agrícola.

Published: July 2022

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi investigar o efeito das escolhas de confederados virtuais sobre as escolhas dos participantes em uma tarefa online de comparação de tamanhos de linhas verticais (conformidade social). Adicionalmente, verificou-se se a composição do grupo de confederados, em termos do gênero dos confederados, poderia influenciar as escolhas dos participantes. Cinco estudantes universitários participaram da pesquisa. Um software online emulou a presença dos confederados na tarefa, apresentou as tentativas e registrou as respostas dos participantes. A tarefa experimental consistia em observar uma linha na tela do computador e, em seguida, escolher dentre três linhas qual era do mesmo tamanho que a linha modelo. Antes do participante responder, ele tinha acesso às escolhas de confederados virtuais. De maneira geral, verificou-se a ocorrência de conformidade para todos os participantes. Com relação ao objetivo secundário da pesquisa, os resultados sugerem que a composição do grupo de confederados, em termos do gênero dos mesmos, não foi suficiente para estabelecer controle discriminativo sobre o comportamento dos participantes. Os resultados foram discutidos em função de problemas de controles experimentais derivados de uma coleta on-line e emulação da participação de outras pessoas na tarefa experimental.

Authors: Mobeena S. , Nagamani C. , Reddy G. Prabhakara , Umamahesh V.
Published: July 2022

Background: Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] has emerged out as a potential crop for meeting the requirement of high quality fodder to fast expanding cattle population. There is a large gap between the demand and supply of green fodder during the lean period which can be narrowed down through the agronomic approaches. Among them, time of sowing and fertilizer application are considered to be the most important factors determining the production potential of the crop. Keeping this in view, the present investigation was taken up in order to find out the optimum time of sowing along with the optimum dose of phosphorus for the production of fodder cowpea. Methods: The present experiment was undertaken during summer, 2019 on sandy loam soils of dryland farm, S.V. Agricultural College, Tirupati. Three time of sowing viz., I fortnight (FN) of January, II FN of January and I FN of February assigned to main plots and four levels of phosphorus viz., 0, 20, 40 and 60 kg P2O5 allotted to subplots with three replications were maintained under split plot design. Result: The plant height, number of leaves plant-1, number of branches plant-1, dry-matter production and number of nodules plant-1, leaf to stem ratio and green fodder yield were higher with early sown crop i.e. I FN of January. Application of 60 kg P2O5 ha-1 resulted in significant improvement in the growth parameters, yield attributes and yield of fodder cowpea, while the lowest were recorded under control conditions (0 kg P2O5 ha-1). The interaction between time of sowing and phosphorus levels influencing the above parameters was found to be non-significant. In conclusion, the present investigation revealed that fodder cowpea gives optimum green fodder yield with high nutritional quality on sown during I FN of January with 60 kg P2O5 ha-1.
An Exploratory Study of the Prosecution of Fatal Child Maltreatment: Criminal Charges Filed Against Presumed Perpetrators in the United States in 2017
Authors: Lee Kerry A. , Douglas Emily M.
Published: July 2022

In the United States child maltreatment fatalities (CMFs) do not usually meet the standard for manslaughter or murder, resulting in convictions of lesser crimes and little jail time. This exploratory study examined the charges brought against suspected CMF perpetrators in 2017. Univariate and bivariate analyses were conducted using data obtained from the Nexis Uni newspaper database, that has over 40,000 high quality media sources, for the year 2017. We found that the most frequently used charges were endangering the welfare of a child and murder, the former of which was more related to neglect-deaths and the latter to physical abuse-deaths. There was no difference between charges for male and female perpetrators. Practical implications for research, policy, and practice are discussed.

Authors: Badenes-Ribera Laura , Angelo Fabris Matteo , Martinez Andrew , McMahon Susan D. , Longobardi Claudio
Published: July 2022

A growing literature on parental violence toward teachers has examined the prevalence of these incidents, yet there is considerable variation across studies. There is a need for a systematic and comprehensive review to assess the extent of parent-perpetrated violence toward teachers. Using a meta-analytic approach, we examined the prevalence of violence directed against teachers by parents and how these rates vary by reporting timeframe and type of violence. We identified 5,340 articles through our initial screening process, and our final analysis included 8 studies that met criteria for this meta-analysis. Our findings show that teachers are more likely to experience non-physical forms of violence as compared to physical violence and that rates are lower as the severity and intrusiveness of the violent act increases. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

Published: July 2022

Invasive species are known to be a threat to agriculture and biodiversity. Thus, many studies have focused on the negative ecological impacts of invasive species, while their importance to livelihoods and human well-being has received little attention. This study aimed to explore people's ethnoecological knowledge about the invasion of Senna obtusifolia and the importance of this species in some local ethnic groups according to two climate zones in Burkina Faso. Three hundred (300) people from height (08) ethnic groups from surrounding villages of pastoral zones in two contrasting climate zones were interviewed. The survey technique was semi-structured interviews, using a previously tested semi-structured questionnaire. A GLM with the Poisson distribution was performed to determine the factors that influence the ethnoecological knowledge of people. For informants, the most important dissemination drivers are animals in the Sahelian zone and humans in the Sudanian zone. Regarding usefulness, the species is harvested by people for 08 use categories with food (100%) and construction (46%) as the most used categories. In fact, the use-value of Senna obtusifolia differed significantly among climatic zone, and ethnic groups (P < 0.001). Furthermore, a significant difference between the Mossi and Fulani of the Sahelian zone and those of the Sudanian zone was observed. This study revealed the usefulness of Senna obtusifolia for people and the findings are essential to promote species utilization, which could be considered as an adaptation strategy to the negative ecological invasion of the species. Moreover, these findings could guide the formulation of management policies and how to valorize more invasive species.
THE UNPRECEDENTED COVID-19 EFFECT: SECONDARY TRAUMA IN PATIENTS & STRATEGIES FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE
Authors: A. Tolouian , M. Wholeben
Published: July 2022

Whether one is a new graduate from nursing school, a skilled veteran of many crises, or well-versed in trauma, the need to understand COVID-19 secondary trauma cannot be overstated. It reflects on our daily lives, with the flow into our workplaces. Dealing with another’s suffering is not something that most (except a noticeable few) have been trained for. When it comes to communication, many rely on spoken language at the expense of the rest of our communication toolbox. People suffering secondary trauma might withdraw or be resigned to bad behavior to avoid physical harm. One way to support people with secondary trauma stress is through mindfulness techniques based on trauma-sensitive care. There are simple ways healthcare workers can help patients become calm, help connect, and communicate more effectively with others. The purpose of this paper is to provide clinical practice strategies for secondary trauma in patients.

Published: July 2022

The development of technology and innovation has a significant influence on the current financial markets. Introducing new business models and transferring from traditional markets to the digital markets through those technologies are some ways of digital transformation. Zakat system has been a great part of Islamic economics and the financial system which has to embrace digitalization to be compatible with the current digital era. This research aims to address the current status of digitalization about the zakat management system in Malaysia and to explore the necessary improvement in embracing the digitalization by the zakat institutions. The research adopts a qualitative research approach where it collects the data from various sources such as books, journals, conference papers, and other relevant websites. To analyze the data, the research employs a descriptive and exploratory research technique. This study finds that despite having websites by the zakat institutions in Malaysia, the zakat system has a lack of data set of aṣnāf and proper data for the collected and distributed funds. Digital transformation is needed to observe the check and balance of the zakat funds’ collection and distribution. In addition, human development through zakat funds needs to embrace more development through digitalization. Moreover, the zakat institutions are encouraged to advance their readiness and understanding of technologies and innovation to embrace digital assets and their zakat-ability.

Man is a leader of the household, while the wife serves as the household manager. Generally, this paradigm is embedded in our society because men are always put as the main guard at the front while wives are always set in the limited area. Contextually, the problem is in the role of women which is no longer solely in the domestic sphere. Most of them also have a role outside the home to help husbands earn a living. The purpose of this study is to obtain a reconstruction of reciprocal fiqh (mubâdalah fiqh) principle in terms of rights and obligations of both husband and wife. This research is a literature review with a qualitative type using the reciprocal (mubâdalah) approach. The results of this study show that partners in realizing justice in the household, according to the mubadalah approach, are required to make mutual help through working together, such as mutual consultation, mutual democracy and mutual taking and giving in building harmonious relationship.

Evolution of scientific ideas on professional motivation in foreign and national research
Authors: Kaitov Alexander P.
Published: July 2022

We present a comparative analysis of the views of foreign and national scientists on professional motivation, describe two groups of theories of professional motivation (substantive and procedural), and identify the leading modern theoretical approaches to the study of professional motivation in Russia and abroad. In modern foreign studies, the leading ones in professional motivation are socio-cognitive and personality-oriented approaches, which allow a better understanding of motivation, considering individual differences; view of professional motivation as a set of recursive, time-related, mutually affective behavioral and cognitive processes and actions organized around the individual goals of the labor subject prevails. National research is based on fundamental methodological approaches (system, activity, structural-level, system genetic, metasystem, etc.), on the concept of the activity origin of the motivational sphere, according to which there are relationships of mutual influence of the content of motivation on activity and the specifics of activity on motivation. Despite the differences in methodological approaches to the study of the phenomenon of professional motivation, foreign and national researchers consider this phenomenon as a multidimensional dynamic, systemic, integral personality formation (psychological construct) that has a multi-level hierarchical structure that changes under the influence of external (social, economic, professional, etc.) and internal (mental, psychophysiological) factors.

Da censura à consagração
Authors: Medeiros Alexandre Pedro de
Published: July 2022

Este artigo analisa o itinerário de La civilización occidental y cristiana (1965), obra do artista argentino León Ferrari, através de suas exposições. Parte-se de sua primeira aparição no Prêmio Di Tella, em 1965, sua retirada do certame e o questionamento de seu caráter artístico pelo crítico Ernesto Ramallo até sua consagração, em 2007, como trabalho central na trajetória do artista homenageado com o Leão de Ouro na 52ª Bienal de Veneza e, em 2015, como uma das obras apresentadas na mostra International Pop, a qual esteve articulada com o movimento de reescrita do cânone da arte pop. Desse modo, este texto também examina as exposições enquanto instâncias legitimadoras da arte, pois discute o arco entre a censura e a consagração do trabalho de Ferrari, especialmente sua inserção no rol de obras de um autointitulado cânone pop expandido. Assim, pretende-se abordar como esse cânone tem sido formulado e operado a partir de uma “retórica do global” que visa dar cognoscibilidade e inteligibilidade – e mesmo aspecto global – a produções artísticas de regiões não-hegemônicas e, também, como isso tem alterado as análises referentes ao trabalho em questão.

Published: July 2022

In spite of the interest of many organizations in the development of information systems, some organizations did not give enough attention to this issue, including the Yemeni organizations. This is what the researchers noted in their dealings with some of these organizations. The Yemeni Public Telecommunications Corporation is one of them. It was noted that some of the administrative units concerned with the application of management information systems in the organization have certain weaknesses in some dimensions of the employees performance in the organization, and this may be due to the quality of their management information systems. This study aimed at demonstrating the effect of the quality of management information systems on the employees performance that was applied on the Public Telecommunication Corporation (PTC). The population of the study included all users of management information systems in PTC totaling (117) employees. Their number was, to some extent, small, so they were selected to be the study sample. To achieve the objectives of the study, the descriptive and analytical method was used. To collect the data of the study, a questionnaire was developed and validated to measure the study objectives and to test its hypotheses.  To analyze the data, (SPSS) program was used. The study found a set of conclusions the most important of which was that the level of both the quality of management information systems and the performance of employees in the Yemeni Public Telecommunications Corporation was high. Moreover, there was a positive effect for the quality of management information systems on the employees’ performance in PTC.

The Effect of Using Bizarre Images as Mnemonics to Enhance Vocabulary Learning
Authors: Mahdi Hassan Saleh , Gubeily Mohammed Ahmed Ibraheem
Published: July 2022

Mnemonic is a technique that helps someone remember better. The combination of images with mnemonics can make it more powerful and effective to help language learners remember better and for a longer time. Acquiring L2 vocabulary can be enhanced by using images. In the previous studies, mnemonics were used traditionally, that is, learners were asked to create a mental image to remember a word or any new item. Several studies were conducted to explore the use of mental images as mnemonics for vocabulary learning. However, no study has examined the integration of images as a mnemonic tool for vocabulary acquisition. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating the effect of images as mnemonics on vocabulary acquisition. The study examined the effect of images as a mnemonic tool for vocabulary acquisition in three conditions (i.e. normal images, bizarre images and traditional way of learning vocabulary). Sixty Arab learners of English as a foreign language enrolled in the English Department at Hodeidah University participated in this study and were randomly assigned into three groups. This study used an experimental method in which pre-, post- and delayed post-tests were administered to these groups. The results indicated that mnemonics with the help of images are useful tools to help learners remember many words.

Keywords: Bizarre images, Multimedia, Mnemonics, Vocabulary learning, Vocabulary retention.
The Strategic Behavior of Undergraduate Students in Simultaneous Interpreting
Authors: Barakat Eman
Published: July 2022

This paper aimed at identifying and describing strategies employed by senior students in Simultaneous Interpreting (SI) in the translation program, University of Science and Technology, Sana’a – Yemen. It also attempted to establish a correlation between students’ use of interpreting strategies and their results in summative assessment. To achieve these objectives, 21 senior students were selected to interpret an English audio into Arabic. Their interpreting performance was analyzed in order to investigate the frequency of using interpreting strategies and explain reasons for strategy selection. The total frequency of strategy use of each student was compared with his/her final SI result. The study findings suggested that students’ strategy use was highly governed by their aim to minimize processing capacity requirements and to recover the source text message. There was also evidence that the use of interpreting strategies could positively affect students’ interpreting quality. The paper concluded by providing some useful recommendations for interpreter training.
