PERSONNEL POLICY IN THE CONDITIONS OF BANI WORLD: MOTIVATION TOOLS FOR INTELLECTUAL PERSONNEL, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC SECURITY MANAGEMENT OF THE ORGANIZATION
Authors: ZACHOSOVA Nataliia , MELNYCHUK Dmytro , MORARU-BURLESKU Roman
Published: June 2023

The purpose of the study was to establish the place of staff motivation in the system of ensuring intellectual and personnel security of the organization and to identify effective management tools for stimulating staff to effective and loyal behaviour in the process of performing professional duties. Method. In the research process, the method of content analysis of scientific sources and literature, generalization, systematization and addition of the work of domestic and foreign scientists were used in the search for means of managerial influence on the motivation of personnel to work. A graphic method of visualization of individual provisions, assumptions and conclusions obtained in the research process is used. Results. The content essence of the concept of motivation is characterized by such categories as stimulus, creativity, reward, aspiration, interest, desire. It is proposed to use motivation to develop personnel potential and ensure a high level of intellectual and personnel security in such areas as: a combination of material and non-material forms of motivation, promotion of lifelong learning of personnel, application of an individual approach to motivation, use of clear and understandable career growth parameters, fixation of incentives for self-development of employees in personnel policy. In the realities of BANI World, the motivation will be the creation of a favourable working atmosphere for employees, the emotional background of teamwork, and minimum guarantees of employment stability. Establishing channels of two-way communication between managers and employees will allow top-management to find out the needs, wishes and interests of the staff and take them into account in a timely manner when making management decisions. Scientific novelty. Content elements of the concept of personnel motivation are summarized. The specifics of using motivation for the development of personnel potential in enterprise management have been established. The motives of people to work are determined and the features of the BANI World environment, in which modern enterprises function and their personnel work and live, are characterized. The parameters of personnel motivation are proposed, which should be fixed in the personnel policy of the business entity in order to lay the foundations for the motivational toolkit to strengthen the state of intellectual and personnel security. Practical significance. The proposals presented in the study can become a framework for the section of personnel policy of enterprises, devoted to the mechanisms of personnel stimulation. They can be used to select parameters for rating employees in the process of performing their job duties in order to identify those who deserve stimulation in one form or another.

Authors: Cogo Denise , Camargo Julia , Generali Sabrina
Published: June 2023

Abstract This article analyzes Venezuelan refugees’ communication and citizenship experiences in shelters of Operação Acolhida on the Brazil-Venezuela border. Based on the theoretical framework of communication, citizenship and migrations, we reflect on the agency of Venezuelan refugees to bypass the limitations of access to communication resources in the context of the tensions between control and mobility of migrants in border areas. The methodology includes observation and interviews with refugees and professionals that work in those shelters. The results indicate the relevance of the debate on communication as a right of migrants in relation to the access and distribution of communication resources.
A Manaus dos mortos: o espaço cemiterial na busca pela modernidade (1854-1906)
Authors: Martins Carla , Páscoa Márcio
Published: June 2023

Resumo Este artigo aborda o processo de transformação espacial vivido pela cidade de Manaus a partir da segunda metade do século XIX, em sua aspiração à modernidade, primeiro impulsionada pela elevação do Amazonas à categoria de província, da qual Manaus era agora capital, depois pela prosperidade decorrente do comércio da borracha amazônica. Aqui, estas transformações têm como foco o espaço cemiterial, inserindo-se num quadro maior de mudanças vivido em todo o país, com a difusão de preceitos médico-sanitaristas que defendiam medidas de controle visando à salubridade do espaço urbano, discurso alinhado com reformas urbanas em consolidação na Europa, mostrando a busca pela adequação ao que se acreditava ser o caminho do progresso.
As prescrições de Fernando Mendes para a Água de Inglaterra
Authors: Peruchi Amanda
Published: June 2023

Resumo A Água de Inglaterra foi um dos medicamentos mais populares na terapêutica do paludismo em diversos países europeus entre a segunda metade do século XVII e princípios do século XIX. Em Portugal, a sua introdução deveu-se ao rei D. Pedro II e ao médico português Fernando Mendes, autor do primeiro texto em língua portuguesa a divulgar esse preparado. Tal escrito, junto de uma receita da Água de Inglaterra e algumas instruções para o seu emprego, foi publicado na obra “Correção dos abusos” (Azevedo, 1690), sob o título de “Instruções a quem houver de usar da água de Fernão Mendes, Médico da Câmara de suas Majestades Britânicas”. Com o intuito de facilitar o acesso a esse conjunto documental e torná-lo mais conhecido, este artigo traz uma edição atualizada, acompanhada de um pequeno estudo introdutório, desses três escritos em língua portuguesa sobre a denominada água inglesa.
Um emaranhado confuso: antropologia pública, terras indígenas e mitos ruralistas no Brasil atual
Authors: Silva Cristhian Teófilo da
Published: June 2023

Resumo Este artigo aborda questões decorrentes do envolvimento da antropologia com o Estado no âmbito das políticas de regularização fundiária de terras indígenas no Brasil. A discussão parte da efetiva contribuição da antropologia no âmbito da biopolítica estatal para assegurar justiça social e ambiental para povos indígenas no Brasil, a fim de contextualizar a crítica relativa à antropologia e a seus praticantes por grupos e setores econômicos da sociedade, que se fizeram representar em uma comissão parlamentar de inquérito, a qual expressou o nível de incompreensão sobre o papel desempenhado pela disciplina nas referidas políticas. Ao analisar o discurso do Relatório Final da Segunda Comissão Parlamentar de Inquérito da Fundação Nacional do Índio/Instituto Nacional de Colonização e Reforma Agrária (CPI FUNAI/INCRA 2) como um texto formado a partir do senso comum sobre os indígenas, os antropólogos e a disciplina, o artigo aborda em que medida esse mesmo senso comum se ancora em concepções essencialistas de identidade existentes dentro da antropologia e aponta para a necessidade de revisão crítica do próprio discurso teórico da disciplina.

Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT Water management aims to ensure the water availability necessary to meet the current and future demand for water resources. For which it is essential to implement monitoring networks that support the investigation of events that interfere with the rainfall regime of watersheds, such the phases of the ocean-atmospheric phenomenon El Niño – Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The classification of the rainfall network was proposed according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) for 14 management watersheds in the Upper Parana River (UPR) region, Brazil. On the other hand, the spatial and temporal variability of annual rainfall was analyzed using geostatistical techniques and confronted with ENSO data. To this purpose, data from 408 stations were collected via the Hidroweb portal, for the period from 1990 to 2020. The low representativeness of data in the region was verified from the observational network. The areas with the lowest and highest rainfall reduction were the north and northwest regions of the UPR, and the areas surrounding the Paraná River, respectively. The years 2019 and 2020 were identified as the most critical period of the last 3 decades with below-average rainfall (-13.21%) in 49.55% of the studied area, indicating a persistence in the drought scenario.

Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT Introduction: Sagittal balance was measured by Hardacker`s et al. using the occipital method COBB C1-C2, C2-C3, C3-C4, C4-C5, C5-C6, C6-C7 in a sample of asymptomatic patients without neck and shoulder pain. In other recent studies, measurements of cervical sagittal balance included several radiographic parameters. Objective: To compare the cervical sagittal balance in groups of patients with and without neck pain submitted to cervical radiography with the upper limbs in flexion. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, quantitative, prospective, descriptive study with radiographic analysis of 50 adults aged between 30 to 70 years old. The group was divided into Group 1: without neck pain, and Group 2: with neck pain. All answered a questionnaire about age and the presence or absence of neck pain. Exclusion criteria were: inadequate X-Ray image, deformity or previous spine surgery, limited shoulder mobility, and individuals younger than 30 and older than 70. The radiographic parameters evaluated were: COBB, TIA ( THORACIC INLET ANGLE), T1 SLOPE, NECKTILT, and COG-C7 with no neck pain. α = 5% (significance when p <0.05). Results: The MANN WHITNEY nonparametric test showed no significant differences between Cobb GROUPS (p= 0.7452), T1 SLOPE GROUPS (p=0.1410), NECKTILT GROUPS (p=0.0852) and GROUPS THORACIC INLET ANGLE (p=0.1789). Conclusion: There was a significant difference only between COG-C7 GROUPS (cm) (p=0.0013). The analysis of the obtained data showed statistical significance in the variation in the COG-C7 groups.

Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT Introduction: Arachnoiditis ossificans (AO) in the spine is a rare entity characterized by progressive calcification of the arachnoid and dural sac, with consequent neurological involvement. Objective: Review the causes, clinical manifestations, and complementary studies for their correct diagnosis. Method: Systematic review under PRISMA guidelines, with search in Pubmed, Lilacs, and Embase. Patient demographics (sex and age), history reported as a cause of AO and time elapsed between cause and diagnosis of AO, clinical manifestations, and complementary studies used for diagnosis were collected. Results: 38 articles, of which we collected 46 patients (25 women, 21 men), mean age of 52 years. The most frequent cause was previous spine surgery and myelography with fat-soluble contrast. The most frequent symptoms were insufficient muscle strength (74%) and pain (69%). CT was used in 76%. The most frequent location was thoracic (35%). Conclusion: Its pathogenesis is unclear; described as the final cause of a chronic inflammatory process in the arachnoid with the consequent bone metaplasia. Diagnosis usually precedes a long period of pain and progressive neurological symptoms. The most sensitive and specific complementary study for the diagnosis is the tomography without contrast, which should be requested in case of clinical suspicion.

Abstract The frequency of gastrointestinal parasites with an emphasis on Strongylus vulgaris was investigated among the Brazilian Pony breed kept on farms in the municipality of Teresópolis, state of Rio de Janeiro. Fecal samples were collected in three stud farms: A (n= 22 animals), B (n= 3), and C (n= 2). Fecal samples were subjected to the quantitative Mini-FLOTAC technique, using three different solutions, and to qualitative techniques. The parasite prevalence was found to be 81.4%. Eggs from strongylids were identified in 74% of the ponies. Eggs of Parascaris spp. were detected in 22.7% of the animals, which were all females of farm A. At this locality, mares were kept with their foals in fenced paddocks all the time. The NaCl solution of d = 1.200 g/ml was generally the one that presented the highest frequency of diagnosis of nematode eggs and the highest mean of fecal eggs per gram. The fecal samples were also subjected to the polymerase chain reaction for amplification of DNA from the ITS2 region for Strongylus vulgaris. Twelve samples presented nucleotide sequences for S. vulgaris. In the end, this study revealed the high frequency (96.3%) of S. vulgaris among ponies on farms in Teresópolis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Draining the Swamp Dodders: Systematics of Cuscuta gronovii s.l. (Subgenus Grammica, Sect. Oxycarpae)
Authors: Costea Mihai , Wright Michael A. R. , Glofcheskie Morgan , Genter Wade , Stefanović Saša
Published: June 2023

Abstract— Cuscuta gronovii species complex (sensu lato, s.l.) is a North American group of species that belong to C. sect. Oxycarpae of subgenus Grammica. Members of C. gronovii s.l. are often associated with riparian or wet habitats,
and their delimitation has been problematic historically. DNA sequences from multiple plastid and nuclear ribosomal non-coding regions were used to reconstruct evolutionary relationships among taxa. Molecular phylogeny supported the resurrection of C. saururi, a taxon that has been
treated either as C. gronovii var. latiflora or a nomenclatural synonym of C. gronovii var. gronovii. Cuscuta saururi was inferred to be sister to C. cephalanthi, but the relationships among the rest of taxa, although forming a clade with moderate
support, remained largely unresolved. Thus, the species limits of C. gronovii s.l. aggregate were also comprehensively investigated through a morphometric study. Plants with 4-merous flowers from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, Canada, which were previously thought to be C. cephalanthi,
were described as a new species, C. acadiana. Cuscuta acadiana, although fertile and producing abundant seeds, is unusual in that the majority of its pollen grains intergrade from zonocolpate, syncolpate, or pantocolpate, with variously shaped or twisted ectoapertures.
Cuscuta gronovii var. calyptrata, a widely accepted but virtually unknown taxon, was typified and included in all the analyses. Cuscuta umbrosa was treated as a variety of C. gronovii (var. curta), and C. rostrata was maintained as a species. An identification
key, detailed descriptions, illustrations, and a summary of geographical distribution, ecology, and conservation status were provided for all the members of C. gronovii s.l. The only taxon of this species complex found to be weedy, especially in cranberries, was C. gronovii var.

A MICRO APPROACH TO VALIDATE THE GURSON YIELD CRITERIA AT MACRO LEVEL
Authors: Mishra Ashish , Gupta Ankit , Shukla Harshit
Published: June 2023

In the present work, an effort has been made to validate Gurson yield criteria at the macro level with an equivalent numerical model at the micro level. The continuum body at macroscale has been assumed as periodically arranged stackable unit cells each containing a single void at microscale. A hexagonal cylinder containing a spherical void is considered as the shape of the unit cell; for simplicity, the hexagonal cylinder is modeled as a circular cylinder which allows simpler axisymmetric loading. Furthermore, due to symmetry, only a quarter of the geometry is required to model. A good comparison between both models is obtained for the different void radii.
XIX. Yüzyılda Ayasofya Medresesi’nde Görev Alan Ulemâ Ailesi Mensubu Müderrislerin Medrese Kariyerleri Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme

Osmanlı Devleti’nde tüm müderris adayları bir sistem dahilinde mesleğe giriş

yapıyor ve medrese kariyerlerine belirli hiyerarşi ile devam ediyordu. Bununla birlikte

ulemâ ailesinden gelen isimlerin kendilerine tanınan imtiyazlarla meslektaşlarına göre

daha kısa sürede kariyer basamaklarında ilerleyebildiği görülüyordu. XV. yüzyılın

ortalarından itibaren bazı ulemâ ailelerine verilen sözkonusu ayrıcalıklar zamanla diğer

ulemâ ailelerine de sunulmuş; fakat bu uygulama, suistimallerle farklı noktalara taşınmış

ve ilmiyedeki bozulmaların önemli sebeplerinden biri olmuştur. Bu durum, uygulamanın

devam ettiği dönemde çeşitli eserlerde eleştirildiği gibi Osmanlı dönemi sonrasında da

muhtelif açılardan değerlendirilmiştir. Ancak konuyla ilgili ilk çalışmalarda ağırlıklı olarak

Osmanlı erken dönemindeki örneklere odaklanılarak neticede ulemâ ailesine mensup

isimlerin ilmiye sınıfında aristokratik yapı oluşturduğu ve ilmiyede bir tekel bulunduğu

kanaati ağırlık kazanmıştır. Özellikle XIX. yüzyılın farklı zaman dilimlerindeki ulemâları

merkeze alan güncel çalışmalarda ise ilmiye sınıfının muhtelif aile tabanlarından gelen isimlere açık bir kariyer imkanı sunduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada konuyla ilgili

yapılan araştırmalardan farklı olarak imtiyaz meselesine bir medresenin müderrisleri

üzerinden yaklaşılmıştır. Çalışmanın amacı Ayasofya Medresesi’ne XIX. yüzyılda

tayin edilen ulemâ ailesine mensup müderrislerin medrese kariyerlerinin takip edilerek

kendileriyle aynı yüzyılda bu medreseye gelen diğer müderrislere göre medrese

Kur’an-ı Kerim’de geniş yer tutan kıssalarda birçok konu işlenmiştir. Bu kıssalarda

yer alan mevzulardan birisi de dünya malıdır. İnsanın dünya malı ile imtihanı ise insanlık

tarihi kadar eskidir. Bu sınav, Kur’an-ı Kerim’de farklı ayetlerde dile getirilmiştir. Bu

ayetlerin ortak noktası, insan için yaratılan dünya malının bazı insanlar için araç değil

amaç haline gelmesidir. el-Kehf Sûresi 18/32-44. ayetlerindeki kıssa, dünya malı ilgili

ayetlerin hepsini kapsar niteliktedir. Bu ayet grubunda verimli, geniş araziye sahip bir

kişinin arkadaşına üstünlük taslamasından sonra malının helak olması anlatılmaktadır.

Kıssadaki kişiler, yer ve zaman müphem olduğundan aynı kıssanın herhangi bir zaman

diliminde herhangi bir yerde tekrar yaşanması muhtemeldir.

Bu çalışmada ilgili ayetlerdeki kıssayı müstakil olarak incelenmeyi uygun gördük.

Çalışmamızı yaparken önce kıssanın tanımını yaptık. Sonrasında hem Mushaf sıralamasına

hem de olayın zaman sürecine uygun olarak ayetleri tahlil etmeye çalıştık. Bu araştırma

esnasında konuyu açıklayıcı ayet ve hadislerden yararlandık, tefsir kaynaklarına

Bu makalede biri hicri X. yüzyılda Manisa’da diğeri ise hicri XII. yüzyılda Maraş’ta

biri Osmanlı kıraat çalışmalarının altın çağında imparatorluğun merkezi sayılabilecek

bir beldeye nispet olunan, alana dair eser vermiş fakat meşhur olmamış bir alim Ebu’l-

Münteha Ahmed b. Muhammed Mağnîsî’dir (ö. 1000/1592). Diğeri ise tecvid ilminde

ve özellikle bu disiplinin fonetik bahislerindeki maharetiyle tanınmış, sadece Osmanlı

coğrafyasında değil, İslam ülkelerinin tamamında ikbal görmüş, eserleri tahkik edilmiş

ve alana katkısı ikrar olunmuş Saçaklızâde Mehmed Mar‘aşî’dir (ö. 1150/1737). Bu iki

alimin tecvid ilmine ve Kur’an fonetiğine dair görüşleri büyük bir benzerlik göstermekte

olup, bu benzerlik her iki alime ait eserlerin incelenmesiyle anlaşılabilecek düzeydedir.

Mar‘aşî’nin meşhur eseri Cuhdü’l-Mukıl ve Beyânu Cuhdi’l-Mukıl’de serdedilen

bilgilerin Mağnîsî’ye ait Terceme-i Cezerî isimli çalışmada görülmesi dikkat çekicidir.

Özellikle de alana ait araştırmacılar tarafından Mar‘aşî’ye ait olduğu söylenen orijinal fikirlerin, vefat tarihi kendisinden 150 yıl evvel olan Mağnîsî’nin risalesinde müşahede

Die ontstaan van lewe: "In die begin was die Woord daar"

Published: June 2023

'n Groot aantal natuurwetenskaplike navorsers beweer dat biologiese lewe op aarde heel waarskynlik natuurlik ontstaan het, maar geeneen kan die presiese meganisme waardeur lewe ontstaan het, weergee nie. Talle eksperimente en waarnemings het bewyse gelewer dat die basiese boustene van lewe, soos aminosure, spontaan kan vorm onder die toestande wat op die vroeë aarde teenwoordig was. Daarbenewens dui die ontdekking van ekstremofiele (organismes wat floreer in uiterste toestande soos hoë temperature en druk) daarop dat lewe moontlik deur 'n onbegeleide, willekeurige meganisme in sulke omgewings kon ontstaan het. Alhoewel die meerderheid wetenskaplikes dus kontemporêre wetenskaplike gegewens aanvoer as bewyse dat lewe 'n natuurlike oorsprong gehad het, is daar 'n groeiende stem van gesaghebbende navorsers wat beweer dat die voorwaardelike toestande vir lewe, sowel as die kompleksiteit daarvan, dui op fyn beplande, begeleide meganismes. In teenstelling met 'n normatiewe materialistiese vertrekpunt, propageer sulke navorsers 'n openheid om die data te volg tot die mees waarskynlike, logiese gevolgtrekking. Hierdie gevolgtrekking behels die voortdurende betrokkenheid van 'n Skepper vanaf voor die beginmoment van die skepping, tot op hede.
Evaluation of using local information from donor catchments to improve the performance of selected deterministic and empirical design flood estimation methods in South Africa
Authors: Khoosal S , Smithers J
Published: June 2023

There are a number of design flood estimation methods routinely used in South Africa. Flood Frequency Analysis (FFA) remains the preferred technique in instances where adequate records of observed data are available. However, in many parts of South Africa, rivers are not gauged for continuous streamflow monitoring. In the case of ungauged catchments, hydrologists and engineers generally make use of methods based on deterministic and empirical approaches for design flood estimation. Due to the limitations and performance of these methods, improved approaches need to be developed for design flood estimation in ungauged catchments. International practice has shown that making use of local information transfer from nearby gauged catchments, also referred to as donor catchments, can improve flood estimation in ungauged catchments. The main considerations for implementing such methods are the type of information transferred and selection of suitable donor catchments. Approaches for donor catchment selection include physical similarity, spatial proximity and integrated similarity. Some studies have also shown that the use of multiple donor catchments can offer further improvements. Thus, a methodology is proposed and evaluated in this paper for using local information transfer in the form of a method and location-specific adjustment factor from gauged donor catchments to improve the performance of selected deterministic and empirical flood estimation methods widely used in South Africa. The pilot study was undertaken at 48 catchments located in the north-eastern part of South Africa, with river flow data provided by the Department of Water and Sanitation. The results show that the degree of improvement for each of the methods is largely dependent on the approach used for donor catchment selection. Even though the best approach for donor catchment selection varied for the different design flood estimation methods, the integrated similarity approach performed consistently well for all methods considered. Similar to the use of single donor catchments, the results obtained from the use of multiple nearest donor catchments also varied for each of the methods used. Due to the general improvements, and the promising results and success of the simple approach used in this study, it is recommended that further refinements of the proposed methodology and approaches to donor catchment selection be considered for future research projects in order for the method to be used by engineers and hydrologists in practice.
The oral presentation of secondary syphilis among men: the evolving interplay between syphilis, HIV and prophylactic strategies
Authors: Fourie Jeanine , Mukucha L , Masuka L
Published: June 2023

Syphilis has been intricately linked with HIV because of shared transmission pathways and because these infections promote each other’s transmission. In addition, HIV infection may change the clinical presentation and management of syphilis lesions. Initially, the HIV epidemic had improved safe sex practices among men who have sex with men (MSM), but subsequent effective treatment and prophylaxis strategies, have resulted in behavioural disinhibition and a resurgence of syphilis.  Here, we report on three cases of oral secondary syphilis and explore the relationship between oral syphilis and sexual practices, HIV and prophylactic measures that MSM employ. Three men, who presented to the University of Pretoria Oral Health Centre (UPOHC), complaining of oral lesions, were diagnosed by histopathology with secondary syphilis. The clinical appearance of the lesions, HIV status, treatment and prophylaxis employed by the men were documented. The clinical presentation, sexual practices, HIV status and prophylactic measures among these men differed and demonstrate the complexity of oral secondary syphilisdiagnosis and management.Syphilis presents variably in the oral cavity, and this may be linked to the sexual practices and HIV status of the patient.

Following COVID-19 protocols implemented globally, it is prudent to extend this to mobile phones, regarded as carriers of microbes, as these are used extensively in clinical settings for learning and patient care. Was to determine types of microbes harbored on mobile phones and related hygiene practices whilst using these in aerosol and non-aerosol generating dental settings. This cross-sectional study was conducted in two parts: A laboratory study to determine the prevalence of microbes on mobile phones and a questionnaire survey to determine the related knowledge and behavior of phone users in both aerosol and non-aerosol generating dental clinics. All proper protocols (consent, ethics) were adhered to. A small percentage (27.2%) of swabs of mobile phones yielded a positive bacterial culture, of these 72% were from the AGP dental setting. Gram positive and negative microorganisms were distinguishable, indicating a diverse group of microbes. Students and staff indicated good mobile phone hygiene practices, but there is place for improvement. Their related knowledge of disinfectants and use were acceptable, but not having mobile phone coverings was problematic. Faculty protocols for disinfecting mobile phones and standardized guidelines for its use in aerosol or non-aerosoclinics is recommended.

Background and Objective During the COVID-19 pandemic, there were increased reports of sleep problems. Individuals with poor sleep quality are at particular risk of reporting symptoms of anxiety, depression, and poor quality of life, along with substance abuse. The present study aimed to examine the effectiveness of combined physical activity and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on anxiety and depressive symptoms and insomnia severity among individuals with poor sleep quality.Methods Participants were 60 males and females with mean age (standard deviation) of 39.29 (5.82) years. Participants were randomly divided into 4 groups of 1) physical activity, 2) ACT, 3) combination of physical activity and ACT, and 4) control. The study consisted of four stages: pre-test, interventions, post-test, and follow-up. Repeated measures analyses of variance were used to assess time by group interactions.Results The results showed that the symptoms of anxiety and depression and sleep problems were reduced for the physical activity, ACT, and combined groups, compared to the control group (p = 0.001). Superiority in all outcomes of the combined group was shown, compared to the other groups.Conclusions The present findings suggest that among individuals with poor sleep quality, combined physical activity and ACT intervention has the potential to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and insomnia severity. It further appears that health organizers should pay more attention to physical activity interventions in individuals with poor sleep quality.
In-silico-based toxicity investigation of natural repellent molecules against the human proteome: A safety profile design v1
Authors: S Setlur Anagha
Published: June 2023

Comprehending the toxicity and other adverse effects of any given set of potential natural repellent molecules against various proteins in humans is essential to determine their safety prior to their use in formulations. An in-silico computational protocol provided in this article can be used to determine the toxicity of any given molecule against the entire human proteome and thus build a safety profile for the same. Preliminary toxicity predictions for oral, dermal and inhalation routes were made for the natural small molecules using computational tools such as Protox-II, SwissADME and T.E.S.T. The screening of the whole proteome to determine the off-targets was then conducted for a given set of natural small molecules with similar mode of action. Tools such as LigTMap, PharmMapper, Swiss Target Predictions and SuperPRED were used for off-target determination. Selection criteria were employed to shortlist the most interacting and probable off-targets to the ligands. These shortlisted protein targets were then manually docked using Schrodinger and the best and poor docked complexes were simulated at 100ns in the Desmond suite of Schrodinger to assess the stability of binding. The final safety profile was then designed after collating all the results obtained from the above-mentioned analyses, considering all parameters. The recommended set of natural small molecules can be visualized for better understandability using a bar chart from the safety profile created for the given set of molecules. This protocol can thus be employed for testing the toxicity and safety of any ligand computationally, so these predictions maybe used prior to any in-vitro studies, to understand the preliminary safety challenges.

Paired sample t-test and Analysis of Co-Variance (ANCOVA) were used to test the five null hypotheses formulated for the study. All the hypotheses were tested at .05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that a problem-solving oriented group approach of social skills training, t = 9.45; p .05) and modelling intervention, 13.32; p .05) were effective in reducing concerns associated with transition to tertiary institutions among the secondary school students in Ilorin metropolis. It was also found that differential effect existed between the two counselling techniques used in the study (t = 2.84; p .05) and there was no gender difference in the participants post-test results of the two counselling groups (F = .663 and 1.227; p .05).
Toward Developing a National Customer Satisfaction Index in Jordan
Authors:   People&Global Business Association, Zeglat Dia , Mukattash Ibrahim
Published: June 2023

Purpose: This research aims to develop a national index to measure customer satisfaction in Jordan. Based on householders' perspectives and assessments, this index will form a national measurement of customer satisfaction with goods and services offered in Jordan.
Design/methodology/approach: T he r esearchers p erformed a s ystematic literature r eview (SL R) b y reading and analyzing the previous primary studies, using pre-specified search and inclusion criteria. In this study customer satisfaction index was defined and developed to the same degree as those that adopted specified customer satisfaction index principles in their development and application.
Findings: Using the developed Jordanian Customer Satisfaction Index (JCSI), each sector, industry, and company included in the index will get a customer satisfaction score. The JCSI will measure customer satisfaction in 15 major economic sectors in Jordan. It contains three items to measure and track customer satisfaction using three facets of satisfaction―an overall rating of satisfaction, performance against expectations, and performance against the customer's ideal service.
Research limitations/implications: The JCSI will encourage all Jordanian household consumers to give customer satisfaction feedback on purchasing and using goods and services. In this regard, this proposed national index will be helpful for consumers, managers, and policymakers.
Originality/value: This paper developed a national customer satisfaction index in Jordan by using two perspectives(i.e., micro and macro levels). The proposed index in this paper is going to offer a multi-industry index to measure and benchmark Jordanian consumers’ satisfaction with goods and services produced and delivered in the Jordanian market.
OPTIMIZING CEMENT KILN DUST DENSITY TO IMPROVE LANDFILL AIR SPACE UTILIZATION

Published: June 2023

Optimizing the density of waste materials in landfills by proper compaction prolongs the facility life due to the efficient use of landfill airspace. Cement kiln dust (CKD) is a waste by-product produced in huge amounts which exceeds the used quantities in the cement recycling industry and beneficial CKD applications. The vast amount of CKD is almost landfilled in its loose state in Egypt which causes a big loss in landfill airspace due to the low density of CKD. The hydraulic binder effect and dusty behavior of reactive CKD complicates its compaction process. Accordingly, this research was performed to investigate CKD compaction properties with three types of lubricants, which are potable water, salt water and waste oil. Maximum dry density (MDD) and optimum moisture content (OMC) for these lubricant types and different wetting methods were investigated in order to improve the landfill air space utilization and to reduce the dusty effect of CKD during compaction. The effect of immediate compaction after wetting and the effect of compaction delay by allowing CKD to hydrate initially for a certain period were studied. Compaction energy and methods of the wetting of CKD either by full submergence in water or prewetting were tested. The maximum weights of a disposed CKD and durations required to fill an intended landfill air space for different CKD conditions, lubricant types and compaction methods were presented for a case study in Ain Sokhna, Egypt.

Published: June 2023

PT.X, a coal mining company in South Kalimantan, Indonesia, plans to use the highwall mining method to excavate marginal reserves on the final slope to maintain production. However, the stability of the slope and determination of the highwall mining dimensions are major concerns due to unfavourable rock mass conditions caused by intensive weathering and tectonics. This paper aims to evaluate the feasibility of highwall mining in the study area using empirical, analytical and numerical methods. The innovation of this research is the integration of these methods, which include rock mass classification, analytical calculation of load and rock support strength, 2D and 3D numerical modelling, and estimation of recovered coal from the highwall design. The initial condition assessment using rock mass classification and analytics calculation of the mining geometry model determined mine openings and pillar dimensions. Numerical modelling re-evaluated the geometry models to obtain an optimal design. The suggested optimal thickness, mine opening, web pillars, and barrier pillars are 3.20, 3.00, 3.50, and 4.00 m, respectively, with four web pillars in one panel at Seam-C and 2.50, 3.00, 3.50, and 4.00 m with four web pillars in one panel at Seam-D. The recovery of coal for Seam-C and Seam-D is estimated to be 40.54%. Deformation was found to have the closest relationship with the dimensions of the mine opening, and the safety factor is most sensitive to changes in the depth of the mine opening. This study provides a reference for future highwall mining in Indonesia and other regions with similar conditions.
New Historiography of Political and Legal Thought as an Urgent Task of Legal Sciences
Authors: Gorban V. S.
Published: June 2023

The article deals with the problem of forming a more effective and promising historiography of political and legal thought. The reasons for the unsatisfactory state of some existing approaches, both in foreign and Russian literature, are seen both in the objectively occurring processes of changes in social requirements for the quality of legal knowledge, and in various practices based on outdated and often ideological models. Critical remarks about various aspects of historiographical approaches in the field of the history of legal thought are conditioned by specific observations and in no way imply the denial of the best examples of intellectual culture. The leitmotif of this study is the position that the history of legal thought in its historiographical basis, as well as spiritual culture in general, does not imply ideological constructions carried out for various reasons, but only two essential aspects, each of which should have equal significance and registration in the field of modern practices of mastering the history of legal thought: event and everyday layers (by analogy with the cultural ideas of A. M. Panchenko).
