A formulação do ethos na retórica antiga
Authors: Rosário de Jesus Carlos Renato
Published: May 2022

Nosso trabalho pretende mostrar, brevemente, a formulação do conceito de éthos na retórica antiga, particularmente sob a visão de Aristóteles, na Ars rhetorica, e sua recepção no mundo romano, concentrada, pelos limites deste artigo, em alguns tratados de Cícero. Desse modo, tencionamos evidenciar de que modo a formulação de tal elemento transitava no mundo antigo e como poderia se manifestar na atuação e na formação do orador. Palavras-chave: retórica; éthos; discurso; orador. Introdução Aristóteles, na sua Ars Rhetorica, elenca três tipos de argumentos ou instrumentos de persuasão de que se deve valer o orador para tornar seu discurso eficaz: o lógos, o páthos e o éthos. O primeiro é de ordem racional e refere-se ao discurso propriamente dito; o segundo procura dar conta das emoções a serem suscitadas no auditório; e o éthos diz respeito à elaboração da imagem que faz de si o orador diante de uma assembleia, a fim de conseguir sua adesão. Nosso trabalho procurará mostrar brevemente a formulação deste último conceito em alguns autores antigos, particularmente sob a perspectiva de Aristóteles e da recepção romana, concentrada, pelos limites deste trabalho, em algumas obras teóricas de Cícero. Desse modo, sem a intenção de aprofundar a questão ou de acrescentar novas teorias a um velho problema, pretendemos apenas traçar um quadro panorâmico a respeito de como a formulação de tal elemento transitava no mundo antigo, da maneira como descreveram os autores acima. Para tanto, será necessário discutir que imagem fazia de si o orador diante de um auditório e, na mesma via, como o ouvinte possivelmente recebia tal projeção. Enfim, dentro das convenções retóricas, procuraremos entender qual o papel das emoções e do caráter manifestado e desejado tanto pelo orador, como pelo seu cliente e pela audiência no discurso
Effect of Optional Assessments on Student Engagement, Learning Approach, Stress, and Perceptions of Online Learning during COVID-19
Authors: Beauchamp David M , Monk Jennifer M
Published: May 2022

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, courses were forced into an online format as universities paused in-person learning and consequently, students were required to adjust to online learning. The objective of the current study was to determine the effect of optional assessments designed to promote engagement in a fourth-year asynchronous online nutritional science course. Seven optional engagement assessments were assigned and students’ stress levels, learning approach, and perceptions of online learning were assessed via surveys at the start and end of the semester. A total of 79.8% (n=210) students completed all seven optional engagement assessments. Further, 56.6% (n=149) reported that the assessments helped them feel more engaged with course content. Perceived stress levels did not change during the semester. Surface learning approach scores increased from the beginning to end of the semester, whereas deep learning approach scores remained unchanged. Surface learning scores were positively correlated with experiencing more stress from organizing and maintaining a schedule, more stress associated with time management, and finding time management more challenging. Deep learning approaches were positively correlated with students feeling engaged in the course, comprehending the course content, and stimulating new ideas/perspectives. Collectively, this data demonstrates that optional engagement assessments can improve student perceptions of online learning, however, these outcomes are related to students’ use of surface versus deep learning approaches.
A step towards decarbonised district heating systems: Assessment of the importance of individual metering on the system level
Authors: Balen Igor , Maljković Danica
Published: May 2022

Modern district heating (DH) systems are one of the most promising heat supply solutions to reach the goal of fully decarbonised energy systems. The research goal of this paper is to evaluate the impact of installation of individual metering in DH systems on energy savings and emission reduction by application of machine learning algorithms and to predict how would this particular system upgrade measure influence the energy consumption and emissions. The research is focused on DH systems in Croatia. The results showed that dominant variable is the installation rate of individual metering devices (i.e. heat cost allocators - HCAs) and, for maximum energy saving, it should strive to 100% within a building. In that case, decrease in annual specific heat consumption in average building connected to a district heating system in Croatia is expected above 40 kWh/m2. Developed regression models show that apartments with installed HCAs could achieve about 40% reduction in heat consumption, compared to the apartments without HCAs.

Authors: Dinh Van Son , Pham Tuan Anh
Published: May 2022

The covid-19 pandemic has had far-reaching consequences for the global economy, affecting many financial market components, including the gold market. This study compares India and Vietnam based on data on several covid-19 indicators such as daily new infections, cumulative totals, daily new deaths from covid-19, and total deaths due to covid-19, affecting gold price volatility. The study's findings are based on daily observational data from the first confirmed case of covid-19 until March 11-2022, demonstrating that the covid-19 indicators have the opposite effect on gold prices in India and Vietnam. The study examined the effect of covid-19 (used as a dummy variable representing the date of covid-19 cases and the date of covid-19 deaths) using the GARCH (1,1) model. The study found no evidence of the covid-19 dummy's effect on gold price volatility in India. Meanwhile, the study's findings show that the impact of covid-19 exacerbates the negative effect on gold price fluctuations in Vietnam over time, especially on days when there is information about covid-19 deaths.

Authors: Chaves Mariana Tolentino , Chaves Ana Paula Tolentino
Published: May 2022

Introduction: In the context of the Sars-Cov-2 (COVID-19) pandemic, as well as other viral infections, these viruses can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Thus, in the context of melatonin science in viral infections such as influenza and COVID-19, there is a growing realization that the regulation of melatonin pathways, both pineal and systemic, may be an important aspect of the regulation of viruses in cellular functions. Objective: It was to list the main results of clinical studies of the use of melatonin in patients infected with Sars-Cov-2 through a systematic review. Methods: The rules of the Systematic Review-PRISMA Platform. The search was carried out from December 2021 to April 2022 in Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: It was found 164 articles. A total of 86 articles were fully evaluated and 30 studies were developed in a systematic review. Melatonin is known as an anti-inflammatory agent and immune modulator that may address the progressive pathophysiology of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). According to the objective and results obtained in the present study that evaluated the treatment in patients with COVID-19, the use of melatonin can help reduce thrombosis, sepsis and mortality. Furthermore, the combination of 3.0 mg oral melatonin tablets and standard care can substantially improve sleep quality and blood oxygen saturation in hospitalized patients. Clinical symptoms such as cough, dyspnea and fatigue, as well as the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) level and lung involvement in patients receiving melatonin can improve significantly. Also, the mean time of patients' hospital discharge and return to initial health was significantly shorter in patients who received melatonin compared to the control group. There was evidence of benefit of sustained-release melatonin 2 mg in therapy in patients, as well as evidence that the use of melatonin was associated with a reduced probability of a positive SARS-CoV-2 test result compared to the use of blockers of the angiotensin II receptor or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors.
Responsible Use of Professional Power When Working With Ethnic Minority Victims/Survivors Of Child Sexual Abuse (CSA): Results From A Program Evaluation Study In Australia
Authors: Sawrikar Pooja
Published: May 2022

A program on culturally sensitive service delivery for ethnic minority victims/survivors of child sexual abuse was delivered and evaluated over six months in Australia in 2019 using a mixed-methods design. This paper reports findings regarding ‘professional omnipotence’. At T1 82% and T2 71% of ‘talk therapists’ do not believe all mental illnesses can be treated with formal services, so are using professional power responsibly – without enabling false hope that formal services ‘can fix everything’. This attitude was independent of cultural background, but somewhat related to age and work experience. Although a strongly held view, the proportion did decrease suggesting the program nevertheless affirmed the utility of formal services. Practitioners who do believe all mental illnesses can be treated with formal services view this as a trauma-informed hope-inspiring approach. Approximately a third of service providers suggest additional self-help strategies but appear reluctant to suggest additional family and group therapy, likely reflecting practice wisdom – that group-based help may increase risk of harm rather than empower clients. The results contribute new and innovative empirical data, peer into the contradictions and complexities of ‘trauma-informed’ practice, and provide suggestions for future research on how professional power can be used responsibly with this highly marginalised group.

SECRETS OF QUR'AN INTERACTION AND BRAIN HEALTH
Authors: Arifin Hasanul
Published: May 2022

Human beings were created by Allah with complex and complex structures and functions. The more we try to dig about the brain, it will never end. Therefore, everything that Allah made every part of us is a sign of Allah's greatness that should be our contemplation together. There is a term that states that understanding how the brain works is the main way to uncover the very essence of human beings. Character (morals or behavior) is the most important thing that must be owned by every human being and we must observe and analyze that the brain is the center of human character. The brain is part of the composition of the central nervous system that works as a center for controlling human activities in the form of thinking, moving, behaving, feeling something, remembering, and so on. Without the brain, humans will not live, like inanimate objects, without any use and potential. If we talk about interactions with the Qur'an that humans do such as reading, memorizing, listening, meditating or contemplating the meaning of the Qur'an, then this will affect the function directly or indirectly even the structure and function of the brain itself microscopically cellular can be affected. Many studies have been conducted to prove how the effects of the Qur'an from listening, reading, memorizing the Qur'an to brain function, especially in terms of brain waves, mental health, and so on.  Health effects can be obtained very much before we interact with the Qur'an. If we analyze simply the stages of a person's activity before interacting with the Qur'an also indirectly has a positive impact on the body.
The Underlying Stylistic Problems Encountered in the Translation of the Quranic Patience (Al-saber) Words into English with Particular Reference to Surratt Āl-’Imrān
Authors: Alhaj Ali Albashir Mohammed , Alwadai Mesfer Ahmed Mesfer
Published: May 2022

The present research paper aims at investigating the underlying stylistic problems in the translation of the Quranic patience (Al-saber) words into English with particular reference to Surratt Āl-’Imrān, that is in English translations of Abdel-Haleem, Khan, and Mohammed Taj Al-Din Al-Hilai and Pickthall. Also, the study aims at examining how the three translators cope with these underlying stylistic problems in their translations. The three English translations of the Quranic patience (Al-saber) words from Surrat Āl-’Imrān were intentionally chosen and examined by the researcher. Varied underlying stylistic problems in the three translations were investigated as well. The study reveals that there are some underlying stylistic problems in the translation of the meaning of the Quranic patience (Al-saber) words into English in Surrat Āl-‘Imrān. In addition, some types of the underlying stylistic problems and semantic losses in the translation of the Quranic patience (Al-saber) words within Surratt Āl-’Imrān whilst translating some lexemes into English, are attributed to the inadequate background of the contextual and stylistic, and cultural causes. The understanding of the original meaning of the Quranic patience (Al-saber) words will certainly help the translator to identify reasonable relevant equivalents, which is in line with the spirit of the original work and the limitations of the target language receptor.
The Determinants of CEO Cash Compensation in Non-Financial Listed Firms: Evidence from Jordan
Authors: Al-Mughrabi Yahia M.
Published: May 2022

Compensation paid to top executive managers is one of the sensitive areas in modern corporate finance. The objective of this paper is to investigate the determinants of the Chief Executive Officer and/or the Chairman of the board of directors’ cash compensation. It examines mainly the linkage between ownership concentration, role duality, financial performance, among other variables, and executives’ cash compensation for a sample of 81 Jordanian listed firms during the period 2010-2013.

By applying fixed and random effects estimates, I find conclusive evidence that dual CEOs receive higher cash compensation, compared to those who do not hold the position of Chairman. In addition, CEOs in larger firms are more compensated than others in smaller ones. The results provided evidence that a firm’s leverage does not affect its CEO’s cash compensation, however, the firm’s industry identity plays some role in determining its executive pay, but not its Chairman of the board. The analysis fails to link CEO cash compensation to the firm’s financial performance and ownership structure, implying that neither compensation contracts nor concentrated ownership structures can alleviate the agency problem or reduce agency costs in Jordanian firms. These results do not diverge much when the dependent variable is the Chairman of the board of directors’ cash compensation.

Overall, Jordanian CEOs are unjustifiably over-compensated as they fail to prove their worth, in light of such lamentable performance of the Jordanian non-financial listed firms, which raises questions about executives’ compensations determining mechanism, and the process of hiring CEOs in the first place.
Numerical Analysis on a Constant Rate of Kinetic Energy Change Based a Two-Stage Ejector-Diffuser System
Authors: Kumar Virendra , Kumar Anil , Yadav Surendra Kumar , Yadav Anshul , Prasad Lalta , Winczek Jerzy Adam
Published: May 2022

Supersonic ejector energy flow devices are extensively used in various applications, such as pumping, mixing, compression, etc. The conventional single-stage ejector (SSE) design approaches are inefficient for modelling an efficient ejector because of their inefficiency in minimizing mixing losses in the mixing chamber, thermodynamic shock in constant area diffuser, and utilization of redundant discharged momentum at the exit of the first stage. The physics-based single-stage ejector design has better solutions because it minimizes irreversibility due to thermodynamic shocks. The present study utilizes the constant rate of a kinetic energy change physics-based approach to design a two-stage ejector (TSE) for water vapour. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool ANSYS-Fluent has been utilized to predict flow characteristics. The performance of the ejector-diffuser system has also been compared with a single-stage ejector. It is found that the performance of TSE is 70 % higher than that of the performance of SSE.
Effect of Vibration and Noise Measuring Points Distribution on the Sensitivity of Pump Cavitation Diagnosis
Authors: Zhou Runze , Chen Hui , Dong Liang , Liu Houlin , Chen Zeyu , Zhang Yuhang , Cheng Zhiming
Published: May 2022

Cavitation is an essential factor in the deterioration of the hydraulic performance of centrifugal pumps. The study of cavitation fault diagnosis can help avoid or reduce the damage it causes. The vibration and noise analysis method can predict the incipient cavitation more accurately. In order to improve the accuracy of cavitation fault diagnosis, this paper studies the distribution of vibration and noise measuring points for centrifugal pump cavitation diagnosis. The research object is a centrifugal pump with an inducer and splitter blades. Vibration acceleration sensors and hydrophones were used to collect structural vibration and liquid-borne noise signals at different positions of the pump unit. Root-mean-square (RMS) and fast Fourier transform (FFT) methods were used to construct spectrums of vibration and noise signals with different NPSH and compare the sensitivity of different measuring points to the inception and development of cavitation. In addition, the SST k-ω turbulence model and Zwart cavitation model were used to study the cavitation volume distribution in the pump under different cavitation stages. By setting monitoring points at the impeller outlet, the frequency domain signal distribution of pressure pulsation was studied. The results show that the vibration acceleration measuring points at the pump inlet flange and pump axial position, and liquid-borne noise measuring point at the inlet position, are more sensitive to the diagnosis of cavitation fault. Motor current is also the basis for judging the inception of cavitation. Moreover, as the cavitation intensifies, the dominant frequency signal of the pressure pulsation in the pump is partially shifted.

This study is a case study that investigates the perceptions of preschool children about the causes, consequences, and solutions to environmental problems. A total of 41 children participated in the study. The data were obtained by using the draw and explain the technique, which included 3 different drawings and telling the children about the causes, consequences, and solutions of environmental problems. In the analysis of the data, the content analysis method was used. As a result of the research, it was found that the preschool children's perceptions were limited; however, as the age group grows, it has been determined that the icons used in the pictures related to the causes, consequences, and solutions of the environmental problems vary. It was revealed that the children associate the causes and consequences of environmental problems with pollution and the ways of solving environmental problems with the prevention/elimination of this pollution. It has been observed that the number of children related to the destruction of nature and irresponsible consumption of natural resources with environmental problems is very limited. In order to improve children's perceptions of environmental problems, it is suggested that teachers and parents should give more space to activities and games related to the environment in daily flow.

Kondisi tersebut disebabkan karena banyak koperasi yang tidak aktif, pada saat mendirikan koperasi cara pendirian dan perizinannya mudah, pola pikir tersebut  masih keliru, yaitu tidak berdasarkan atas kesadaran untuk berusaha tetapi hanya untuk memperoleh dana bantuan dari pemerintah dan mereka berfikir dengan menjadi anggota koperasi berarti mudah untuk mendapatkan pinjaman.

Metode penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif, sumber data dan metode pengumpulan data penelitian dilakukan dengan cara observasi, pengamatan, wawancara dan FGD (focus Group Discussion). Proses pengumpulan data dan analisa data dilakukan secara bersamaan.

Hasil penelitian yang paling utama adalah bagaimana merubah mindset pola pikir masyarakat tentang koperasi dari hanya untuk memperoleh dana bantuan dan kemudahan pendiriannya, menjadi mendirikan koperasi karena suatu kebutuhan untuk memperkuat dan memajukan ekonomi masyarakat khususnya masyarakat desa melalui pemberdayaan masyarakat dalam memaksimalkan potensi desa wisata.
