Penelitian ini dilakukan berdasarkan latar belakang yaitu bertambahnya penduduk di Kota Padang yang mengakibatkan kecendrungan atas permintaan bangunan tempat tinggal menjadi meningkat, sehingga tanpa disadari hal ini dapat menyebabkan nilai kerentanan terhadap bencana kebakaran di Kota Padang menjadi tinggi dan peluang atau potensi terjadinya kebakaran juga besar. Bencana ini tidak dapat diprediksi dan dapat terjadi kapan saja dan di mana saja, apalagi di daerah perkotaan seperti Kota Padang. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif kuantitatif. Pada penelitian ini yang dibahas adalah penjelasan tentang berbagai kondisi dan situasi atau beberapa variabel yang timbul dari kondisi eksisting kantor pemadam kebakaran, sehingga dapat menganalisis tingkat pelayanan kantor pemadam kebakaran dengan menggunakan bantuan aplikasi ArcGIS.

Indonesia memiliki kekayaan yang berbeda setiap daerah. Setiap daerah memiliki perbedaan baik dari tradisi, kebiasaan-kebiasaan, tata bicara, dan bahasa. Salah satu perbedaan bahasa bisa kita lihat pada lagu daerahnya. Lagu-lagu daerah tersebut biasanya tercipta dari fakta-fakta yang terkait dari daerah-daerah setempat. Fakta-fakta tersebut diangkat dari muatan kedaeraan didalamnya. Muatan kedaerahan tersebut bisa berupa tata cara kehidupan dan perlaku masyarakat. Namun sayangnya anak-anak sekarang tidak tertarik terhadap lagu-lagu daerah yang ada. Kurangnya minat anak-anak serta media edukasi tentang lagu-lagu daerah menajdi faktor utama penulis membuat picture book lagu-lagu daerah Indonesia untuk anak-anak. Penulis memilih media picture book karena menari perhatian dan memudahkan anak-anak untuk belajar mengenai lagu-lagu daerah Indonesia. Metode perancangan yang dilakukan adalah metode glass box, metode berfikir secara rasional atau nyata dan membutuhkan proses yang rasional. Di samping itu, metode analisis data penulis menggunakan 5W+1H (What, Who, Why, When, Where, and How).

Shifting the dynamics in popular culture on Islamophobic media narratives
Authors: Rahman Khairiah A
Published: July 2022

Prior to the Christchurch mosque massacres on 15 March 2019, studies on New Zealand media showed that representations of Islam and Muslims were largely negative. Muslims were depicted as terror-prone and a threat to democracy and free speech. This popular media culture of negative framing is not unique to New Zealand as global media studies show a consistent and disproportionately high negative labelling of Islam and Muslims compared with adherents of other faiths. This article focuses on the role of the government and media to shift the dynamics in popular culture in Islamophobic media narratives. A critical analysis of the actions of these powerful sectors at the Conference on Countering Terrorism and Violent Extremism (CTVE) in 2021 showed an opportunity to address issues management and culture competence that could change the way Muslims and Islam perceived and represented the media.

The main tasks of the work of municipalities are collecting and analyzing data on the needs of the municipality, determining the key tasks of the municipality, planning the development of the municipality. Certain difficulties are associated with each task. When collecting data on the needs of the municipality, the appeals of the population are registered and distributed between departments manually and stored in different registers. When defining the key tasks the decisions are based on the opinion of the heads of departments, without taking into account the relationship between the goals. When planning, municipal projects turn out to be of poor quality due to the lack of automation and analysis. To solve the problems a comprehensive information system based on the use of artificial intelligence and data analysis methods is proposed. The components of the system are the following: a subsystem LifeControl for automatic aggregation, the analysis and distribution between the departments of appeals of the population; a subsystem based on the application of a balanced. The work was carried out on the case of the Administration of the municipality “Astrakhan City”, but it can be developed and adapted for other regions.

Authors:   Varsity College, Independent Institute of Education, Cape Town, South Africa, Davids Eugene Lee
Published: July 2022

The divide between private and public higher education in South Africa has shed light on the unknown contributions of private higher education institutions to national research production. Many private higher education institutions are changing toward becoming research-intensive to meet the demands and contributions toward knowledge generation and dissemination. The shift toward becoming research-intensive means the role of academic staff is rapidly evolving. The current study aimed to determine how academic staff at a private higher education institution in South Africa identified their competence as researchers, particularly due to the changing landscape from a teaching and learning-intensive to a research-intensive institution. Using a survey design, the study included 124 academic staff at a private higher education institution. The results suggest that most academic staff identified their research competence as being emerging researchers (71.77%). Furthermore, when examining the factors academic staff provide as reasons for their research competence, being motivated by students and classroom-based activities, yearning to belong and being part of a research culture as well as research competency booster emerged as relevant factors. The results provide an initial opportunity for reflection and outlines recommendations for practice that could assist private and public higher education institutions in the change toward a research-intensive institution.

Academic procrastination leads to the delay of a job and at the same time it creates anxiety and stress. As a result of this situation, academic performance is negatively affected. Many variables can lead to the emergence of academic procrastination behaviour. This study aimed to examine the change of academic procrastination in university students with various demographic characteristics. A total of 260 students studying at 7 different faculties of a state university participated in the study, which was conducted using the survey model, one of the quantitative research methods. Research data were collected using academic procrastination scale and personal information form. The findings obtained as a result of the analysis revealed that while some of the variables discussed in the study had significant effects on academic procrastination, some did not affect it. Consistent with the results of the relevant research, it was seen that gender and academic performance had significant effects on academic procrastination, and it was determined that the variables of willingness for the department and accommodation status caused statistically significant differences on academic procrastination in university students. The results obtained from the study reveal the necessity for considering demographic and social factors as well as cognitive and psychological characteristics in studies on academic procrastination.
“THE ULTIMATUM BEFORE THE ASSAULT ON THE «STRONGHOLDS»” – A STUDY ON ME TAPHORS IN 2 CORINTHIANS 10:1-11
Authors: ȘERBAN Tarciziu-Hristofor
Published: July 2022

The scenario of the assault on some strongholds, used in 2 Corinthians 10:1-11, attracted the attention and admiration of the readers of this Pauline Epistle, as it imprints a fast pace as well as a certain gravity to the whole section. By its means, the Apostle Paul announces a decisive intervention on his part in the community of Corinth where a series of tensions have arisen. However, the reader immediately remarks that the vocabulary used by the author is a metaphorical one. That is why it is all the more interesting to see what Paul wanted to express by its means.
Therefore, taking into account the way in which the philosophy of language and linguistics define metaphor nowadays, I propose in this article to highlight the way in which the Apostle expresses his intention to defuse the situation in the community of Corinth.
Factors Influencing Mobile Payment Adoption in Hong Kong: A Quantitative Study
Authors: CHU Wai Shun Wilson
Published: July 2022

Mobile payment system is gaining increasing acceptance as a mode of payment in the current economic environment. With the growing popularity of mobile payments, it is important to identify the key factors that motivate people use mobile payment. Pinpointing such factors would allow businesses to build the right mobile payment for customer’s needs. This article relies on a novel integrated model and a qualitative method to answer the question "what are the key factors influencing Mobile Payment Adoption in Hong Kong, a global metropolis where mobile payment is making steady inroads”. This study use a quantitative approach with a sample size of 203 to investigate the Influence of eight factors on Behavioural Intention to use mobile payment. The results show that factors relating to “Hedonic Motivation”, “Habit”, “Perceived Usefulness”, “Perceived Ease of Use”, “Social Influence” and “Government Support” significantly affect the Behavioural Intention to use mobile payments to conduct online transactions, while “Perceived Risk” and “Perceived Cost”  shows no significant effect. Although the TAM/UTAUT model has been extensively studied in the previous research on mobile payment services, little effort has been done to combine and investigate other influencing factors in order to test their effects on the intention to adopt mobile payment. As a result of this, this study contributed by developing and testing a novel integrated model providing a valuable guideline to help researchers looking into issues related to mobile payment services in Hong Kong.

Use of the Alternating Directions Method in Cylindrical Coordinates, Applied to the Two-Dimension Unsteady Conduction Heat Transfer
Authors: Tcaciuc Gabriel-Dumitru , Lupu Ana-Georgiana , Horbaniuc Bogdan
Published: July 2022

Finding analytical solutions for the unsteady conduction heat transfer equation is generally very difficult due to the intrinsic complexity of the problem. In most cases, the equation has no analytical solutions. A numerical approach that surmounts these difficulties consists of the finite difference technique. The alternate directions finite-difference technique especially suits to the two-dimension heat conduction. The paper considers a hollow cylinder consisting of a conduction heat transfer medium, and the two-direction unsteady heat propagation within this medium is studied by means of the alternate directions method. The approach simulates the heat conduction process during a charge-discharge cycle of a single borehole heat storage.

Published: July 2022

Medicines are one of the critical elements of a well-functioning healthcare system, but their expiry remains one of the significant challenges in the healthcare sector. This study aims in assessing the extent of the issue and identifying the expired medicine types and their underlying causes in some selected public health facilities of Arsi Zone, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia. This study is a mixed-method, which includes both quantitative and qualitative components. The quantitative research was undertaken by retrospective data extraction of recorded medicines as expired for the specified period. At the same time, the qualitative part is a facility-based cross-sectional survey study with self-administered questionnaires and semi-structured in-depth interviews engaging the health professionals of study facilities to explore the reasons for the expiration of medicines. Fifteen health facilities were selected from the study zone. The total monetary value of expired medicines in the studied health facilities during 2017-2019 was 185,938.86 USD. In the same period, all study facilities received medicines worth 2,425,882.64 USD, resulting in an expiry rate of 7.66%. The top classes of wasted medicines through expiry in terms of value were anti-infectives (35.51%) and medicines for central nervous system (CNS) disorders (20.48%). In comparison, by dosage forms, nearly half were solid dosage forms (48.81%), followed by liquid dosage forms (41.82%). Delivery of near expiry date medicines by Ethiopia’s Pharmaceuticals Supply Agency (PSA), lack of a system to exchange nearly expired medicines between facilities, and presence of overstocked medicines due to improper forecasting of need were the common perceived factors contributing to the expiry of medicines. Thus, the Policymakers should make decisions to reduce the contributing factors of medicines expiry to reduce wastage of medicines and promote appropriate utilization of finite resources.

The level of immunization of children and adolescents under the Protective Vaccination Program in Ukraine is lower than in Poland, and, due to the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, many people now live in conditions that are often unsanitary. Centers for refugees are also places of increased risk of outbreaks of infectious diseases. This risk is increased by the low percentage of the vaccinated, limited access to healthcare (including diagnostics) and overcrowding.

The paper presents the state of vaccination in Ukraine against poliomyelitis, measles, diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis, the most important problems in the field of infectious diseases, as well as the resulting risks and the need to prevent them.

Southern root-knot nematode (SRKN, Meloidogyne incognita) is a major pest of sweet potato, and nematicides are needed to manage this nematode. The objectives of this study were to assess the efficacy of fluazaindolizine, a new non-fumigant nematicide, in comparison with the fumigant nematicide 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) and non-fumigant nematicides fluopyram and oxamyl for (1) SRKN management, (2) impacts on free-living nematodes, and (3) sweet potato yield in field trials. Among all nematicides, 1,3-D at 84 kg/ha most consistently (2 of 3 years) managed SRKN soil populations and improved yield. Fluazaindolizine at 2.24 kg/ha and fluazindolizine at 1.12 kg/ha plus oxamyl at 2.14 kg/ha managed SRKN populations and improved yield in 1 of 3 years, whereas fluazaindolizine alone at 1.12 kg/ha only decreased SRKN populations. Fluopyram at 238 g/ha did not affect SRKN or yield. Nematicide application also had non-target effects on free-living nematodes with 1,3-D reducing abundances relative to untreated most frequently (2018 and 2020), but other nematicides also reducing free-living nematode abundances in 2020. In summary, 1,3-D is the most consistent option for SRKN control on sweet potato, but fluazaindolizine, oxamyl or combinations of the two products can also be effective.

Ergonomics in the work environment represents an important area since the non-compliance with it negatively affects people’s health. To create sustainable working conditions for employees in the future, today’s students – future managers, logistics specialists, and entrepreneurs need to be approached. The paper presents pilot research oriented towards the awareness of ergonomics and its merit in relation to health and productivity while studying and performing sitting work tasks. The meaning of this was raised by the Covid-19 pandemic impacts and an increase in the home office and distant studying. Also, the paper combines arguments from secondary data sources with obtained primary data. The main goal was to gather evidence justifying active engagement of logistics managers in ergonomics, as well as setting logistics processes respecting ergonomics requirements. The main findings underline the need for logistics specialists and employees themselves to be aware of ergonomics principles so that human well-being can be sustainably achieved.
Analyzing an Unconventional Success Story Chick-fil-A Fast Food Restaurants in the USA
Authors: Manko Barbara
Published: July 2022

The U.S. fast-food chain Chick-fil-A, Inc. has prospered financially and scored multiple rankings at or near the top of its industry by using unconventional management practices, including some that appear to be drawbacks. This paper attempts what previous academic research has not: a thorough analysis of Chick-fil-A’s practices and policies, looking at how they might function as “success factors” and how the company has turned apparent disadvantages into advantages. The practices and policies include an unusual approach to franchising, a limited menu, private ownership, absence of global expansion, a distinctive focus on customer service and employee relations, and an explicitly Christian corporate culture. Chick-fil-A’s success, with a business model that does not fit the mold of other fast-food chains, makes the company a promising subject for further research by anyone wishing to study unconventional forms of differentiation for competitive advantage.

Introduction: Quantification of lung involvement in COVID-19 using chest Computed tomography (CT) scan can help physicians to evaluate the progression of the disease or treatment response. This paper presents an automatic deep transfer learning ensemble based on pre-trained convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to determine the severity of COVID -19 as normal, mild, moderate, and severe based on the images of the lungs CT.

Material and methods: In this study, two different deep transfer learning strategies were used. In the first procedure, features were extracted from fifteen pre-trained CNNs architectures and then fed into a support vector machine (SVM) classifier. In the second procedure, the pre-trained CNNs were fine-tuned using the chest CT images, and then features were extracted for the purpose of classification by the softmax layer. Finally, an ensemble method was developed based on majority voting of the deep learning outputs to increase the performance of the recognition on each of the two strategies. A dataset of CT scans was collected and then labeled as normal (314), mild (262), moderate (72), and severe (35) for COVID-19 by the consensus of two highly qualified radiologists.

Results: The ensemble of five deep transfer learning outputs named EfficientNetB3, EfficientNetB4, InceptionV3, NasNetMobile, and ResNext50 in the second strategy has better results than the first strategy and also the individual deep transfer learning models in diagnosing the severity of COVID-19 with 85% accuracy.

Conclusions: Our proposed study is well suited for quantifying lung involvement of COVID-19 and can help physicians to monitor the progression of the disease.
Cardioprotective Effects of Physical Activity: Focus on Ischemia and Reperfusion
Authors: Glisic Milos , Pindovic Bozidar
Published: July 2022

This review aimed to revisit the old and introduce some of the new various cardioprotective effects of physical exercise, focusing on ischemia-reperfusion injury. A wealth of data shows that regular physical exercise is necessary to prevent cardiovascular diseases. In the last few years, a number of new training regimes, usually modified variations of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) protocols, have been rising in popularity among people of all ages. Since exercising is not limited to only healthy people, our study emphasized the benefits of HIIT and MICT in preventing or mitigating cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury. Different kinds of research are being performed, studying the various positive and side effects of these training regimes, all in hopes of finding the most optimal ones. So far, all of them have shown that exercising to any extent, even for a short period of time, is beneficial in one way or another, and outweighs the possible risks it might have. We also revisited some of the known molecular mechanisms responsible for many of the effects of physical exercise and introduced some new findings related to them. Lastly, we summarized and compared the benefits of different HIIT and MICT protocols to narrow down the search for the most efficient training method.
