Authors: Kim Z. F. , Galyavich A. S. , Nurieva I. M. , Bayazova N. I.
Published: September 2022

In the presented case report, 27-year-old female patient consulted a dermatologist and a lipidologist due to the appearance of small red spots on the skin. At the stage of examination in the lipid center, the patient was diagnosed with diabetes. During additional examination in the department of endocrinology, the following diagnosis was made: "Newlu-diagnosed type 1 diabetes. Target glycated hemoglobin level 6,5%. Secondary dyslipidemia. Skin xanthomatosis". After the start of therapy, laboratory parameters improved and the number of eruptive xanthomas decreased. Eruptive xanthomatosis in clinical practice is rare, and requires apprehensive attitude of doctors of various specialties. Timely detection of lipid metabolism disorders allows patients to recommend not only rational measures to prevent the development and progression of atherosclerosis, but also to diagnose the causes of secondary dyslipidemia.
Extended VIKOR Method based on Interval-Valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Numbers for Selection of Logistics Centre Location
Authors: BAKİ Rahmi
Published: September 2022

Identifying the appropriate location for logistics centres (LC) is key to gaining and maintaining a competitive advantage and increasing the efficiency of supply chain activities. Increasing customer expectations, efforts to reduce logistics costs and the intensity of competition in the logistics sector have led to the establishment of many new LMs in recent years. These centers contribute significantly to increasing efficiency in freight transportation, optimizing logistics services and reducing the traffic. The increasing importance of LCs and the significant impact of their location on logistics activities have made the choice of installation site a strategic consideration. However, evaluating LC location alternatives is a complex process that must take many factors into account. The aim of the present study is to propose an extended VlseKriterijuska Optimizacija I Komoromisno Resenje (VIKOR) approach based on interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IVIFN) and test its feasibility. Applying IVIFN contributes to coping with uncertainty in human thought and decision processes. On the other hand, VIKOR is a decision-making technique that facilitates ranking criteria that are contradictory and represented by different units, and it offers a compromise solution. The feasibility of the extended VIKOR approach through IVIFN proposed in this study was tested in a numerical example in which LC location alternatives were evaluated. Three experts were consulted to determine the criterion weights and to rank the alternatives. Decision makers serve as logistics and planning specialist, logistics operations manager and supply chain chief engineer. In practice, alternatives were evaluated by considering six criteria. As a result, criteria are listed in the form of intermodal connection (0.255), infrastructure (0.194), security/safety (0.169), proximity to customers (0.158), proximity to suppliers (0.131), and labour supply (0.093), according to their weighted importance. It is expected that the findings obtained in the study will contribute to researchers and sector managers.

Published: September 2022

In the present work, systematic studies on the optical properties of six tin (IV) oxide (SnO2) thin films of varying thicknesses were done and their influence on gas sensing response were studied. Refractive index and packing density of 90 nm tin (IV) oxide film was observed to be lowest among all six films which the presence of voids and defects in the film. Further, the dispersion in the refractive index of tin (IV) oxide thin films was analyzed in light of the single-oscillator model (SOM). A good agreement between the experimental refractive index data and the SOM was observed. The values of E o, E d and S o were found to be the lowest for the 90 nm thin tin (IV) oxide film, which further confirms the presence of a large concentration of voids and a lower density. The outcome of the present study suggests the potential use of 90 nm thin tin (IV) oxide film as the base material that can be used for efficient detection of liquefied petroleum gas.

The impact of foreign aids on poverty reduction: an international literature review
Authors: Kassim Kassim Tafana , Beceren Ertan
Published: September 2022

Purpose- Lately after the occurrence of the Covid-19, there has been a substantial wave of the foreign aid funds from developed to developing economies aimed to back up the most effected countries. The concept of the foreign aids with the primary goal to eradicate poverty is not new to economy and social development scholars since it has been researched for decades.
Methodology- The poverty eradication was adopted from what so called the Millennium Development goal (1990-2015) and Sustainable development goal that is expected to come to an end in 2030. This study qualitatively accesses the impact and the effectiveness of the foreign aid given to most developing countries with the aim to eradicate the poverty level.
Findings- The main objective of this paper is having an empirical conclusion on the effectiveness of the foreign aid through the critical empirical reviews of the both quantitative and qualitative works done by different scholars in different countries.
Conclusion- The study concluded that quantitatively it is illogical to conclude weather the foreign aid really contributes to poverty reduction in recipient’s country or not. This backed up by the presence of both empirical studies both in favour and against of foreign aids. The study further revealed that the effectiveness of the foreign aid toward eradication of poverty depend on many factors on both recipients’ and donor countries. Those factors include conditions attached to aids, allocation of the aids to targeted areas, authority of the states in decision making related to foreign aid and political influence. Finally, the study suggested that for efficient use the foreign aids countries should have a clear stipulated goals and area of prioritization. The countries also should have a clear monitoring mechanism to supervise the progress of the funds expenditure over time

Keywords: International review, foreign aid, millennium development goals, poverty reduction, qualitative analysis.

Do consumers with high need for uniqueness pay more a study of the relationship between consumer need for uniqueness (CNFU) and willingness to pay (WTP)
Authors: Kilic Anil Savas , Duran Cem
Published: September 2022

Purpose- The main objective of this study is to understand the impact of Consumer Need for Uniqueness (CNfU) on purchasing behavior. This impact is examined from a Willingness to Pay (WTP) perspective and it is aimed to understand whether and how CNfU is related with creating a consumer surplus for the brands.
Methodology- The paper uses survey-based data and a combination of statistical techniques, such as Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). 376 participants responded to the survey shared online. Their behavior was measured by their past purchase behavior, which is, choosing a Vespa scooter or choosing a Honda scooter showing their willingness to pay more for a scooter.
Findings- It is revealed that creative choice counter conformity has positive influence on willingness to pay more for a prestigious motorcycle brand (buying a Vespa scooter instead of a Honda scooter, in this case). On the other hand, unpopular choice counter conformity and avoidance of similarity has no effect on choosing between a prestigious and a conventional budget motorcycle.
Conclusion- Possible conclusions might be that; 1) Creative choice has a positive connotation to it compared to unpopular choice and avoidance of similarity 2) avoidance of similarity and unpopular choice counter conformity tendencies may not have been activated by this specific type of product 3) unconventional choice is not exclusively dependent on CNfU but some other factors such as sensation-seeking and risk-taking. Lastly, the findings can definitely not be generalized to other products and services.

Keywords: Consumer need for uniqueness, customer behavior, willingness to pay, CNfU, NfU.

Influence of investor awareness on performance of real estate investment trusts in Kenya
Authors: Ndung’u Daniel Thuo , Kung’u James N.
Published: September 2022

Purpose- The performance of the listed REITs has not been as expected and efforts by REIT managers to issue more real estate securities have been slow. This posed the concern of whether the unexpected performance of REITs in Kenya was due to external factors, such as investor awareness, which is not under the control of the investment market. Thus the study sought to examine how investor awareness influences performance of REITs in Kenya.
Methodology- Predictive correlational research design was employed while target population comprised of Fund Managers, Stock Brokers and Investment Banks and Property Developers. Structural Equation Modelling was used to test the hypothesized relationships at 5% significance level.
Findings-The results indicate that investor awareness have no significant influence on performance of REITs in Kenya. Majority of the respondents agreed that they were knowledgeable about Kenya's real estate market, and their membership in the REITs Association of Kenya has provided insightful market research and databases. Such investors can access with ease reports of the REITs issuing firm. Further, although investors usually follow and update themselves on the REITs markets through the online platform, such awareness does not influence the level of performance of REITs in Kenya.
Conclusions- It can be concluded that although efforts have been put in place to ensure investors' awareness of real estate securities, such efforts have not boosted the uptake of REITs among investors. Investor awareness efforts employed by Capital Markets Authority in conjunction with the REITs Association of Kenya are not likely to enhance the performance of REITs in Kenya. The results indicate that REITs uptake has not attained a critical mass necessary to create liquidity in the capital market. Based on the findings, there is minimal publicity campaigns carried on by the Capital Markets Authority to sensitize potential investors on REITs.

Keywords: Investor awareness, performance of REITs, property market.

Forecasting impact of Covid-19 on airline sector: a case study of Turkey
Authors: Muddasir Muhammad , Afsar Asli
Published: September 2022

Purpose- An infectious virus called COVID-19 originated in China spread over the globe in a short time and became a pandemic. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the COVID-19 and the airline companies in Turkey. Thus, we went over daily stock prices of the companies as well as daily COVID-19 cases reported across the nation. As a result, two companies were chosen among all of them. From 11 March 2020 to 30 May 2022, we retrieved data of daily stock prices, COVID-19 cases and COVID-19 deaths recorded.
Methodology- Regression analysis was used to determine the association between COVID-19 and prices. The results were as expected; both companies demonstrated significance, and we concluded that they responded to the COVID-19. The second aim of the study is to utilize regression analysis to predict, between June 2022 and June 2023, both the number of verified COVID-19 cases and the prices of Airline companies.
Findings- The results were as expected; both companies were found significant, and we concluded that they responded to the COVID-19. By June 30, 2023, it is likely to see more verified cases if the corona virus spread rate in Turkey does not change. Data for COVID-19 instances will differ depending on the transmission rate. Briefly stated, COVID-19 cases and BIST 100 Travel Sector cases have a direct relationship. Because of a rise in COVID-19 vaccinations, both businesses exhibit an increasing tendency.
Conclusion- The Travel Sector in BIST 100 also exhibits a favorable correlation with COVID-19 cases. But both businesses exhibit a bullish or rising tendency as a result of vaccination which started in 2021. To stop the corona virus from spreading, precautions should be taken, such as keeping a safe social distance, washing hands regularly, and avoiding unwanted facial contact.

INTRODUÇÃO: Neste estudo, tivemos como objetivo conhecer as experiências, as concepções de violência e as práticas de cuidado de profissionais da Psicologia diante de casos de violência sexual na universidade. Além disso, analisamos as ações realizadas pela universidade no que se refere ao enfrentamento da violência contra as mulheres neste espaço. MÉTODO: Com base em um delineamento qualitativo, foram utilizadas como técnicas de construção das informações entrevistas semiestruturadas, notas de diário de campo e a técnica de Associação Livre de Palavras. RESULTADOS: Para a discussão dos resultados, privilegiamos as visões da Psicologia Social Crítica e dos estudos feministas. O conjunto de dados foi organizado e interpretado segundo a análise temática. A violência tem se apresentado de diversas formas dentro do ambiente universitário, sendo as estudantes as mais vulneráveis. Os profissionais da Psicologia apresentam dificuldades perante os casos a serem atendidos, uma vez que não há um posicionamento institucional que norteie a atuação em um contexto de ensino superior. CONCLUSÃO: Concluímos que as universidades devem criar políticas públicas específicas para atender violências contra as mulheres e a violência de gênero deve ser uma questão central e transversal nos currículos. É fundamental criar espaços de cuidado a quem sofre violência neste contexto, como grupos de psicoterapia feminista e rodas de conversas regulares.
A comparison of blue and silver vertically-suspended environmental enrichment during Chinook Salmon and Rainbow trout rearing
Authors: Michael J Robidoux , Thomas Mauck , Nathan Huysman , Jill M Voorhees , Michael E Barnes
Published: September 2022

This study evaluated the use of either blue or silver vertically-suspended environmental enrichment in two experiments, with one rearing Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) for 29 days and the other rearing rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) for 98 days. In both experiments, there were no significant differences in total tank weight, gain, percent gain, feed conversion ratio, or percent mortality between tanks with either silver (unpainted aluminum) or blue vertically-suspended environmental enrichment. Individual fish total length, weight, specific growth rate, and condition factor were also not significantly different between the two colors for both fish species. These results indicate that either silver (unpainted aluminum) or blue vertically-suspended environmental enrichment can be used during the hatchery rearing of juvenile Chinook salmon or rainbow trout.
WhatsApp as a Tool for Researching the Everyday Lives of Venezuelan Refugees Settling in Brazil
Authors: Alencar Amanda , Camargo Julia
Published: September 2022

In this article, we explore the role that WhatsApp can play as a research tool for investigating the experiences of settling refugees. Messaging apps can help researchers collect data about people’s everyday lives while also providing insights into processes that are difficult to study as they happen. The communicative affordances of messaging apps also facilitate spontaneous interactions in research and the flexibility needed when working with mobile groups of people, such as refugees. We build on our experience of interacting together with Venezuelan refugees through the Conexión Sin Fronteras (Connection Without Borders) WhatsApp group, which was designed by the researchers in the form of an intervention focused on building community among Venezuelans settling in the city of Boa Vista, Brazil. Our experience shows that data collection in WhatsApp allows researchers to obtain relevant insights into social support, relationship-building, and negotiations of rules in a group context. However, our research outlines challenges related to the varied engagement of participants in WhatsApp group chats and the difficulty for researchers to be always present during group conversations. Limitations to the use of WhatsApp in research with refugee populations also include restrictions in terms of internet capacity shaping the types of data participants choose to share. In this context, it is crucial to address barriers to access to connectivity and create opportunities to enhance refugees’ literacy regarding data collection in digital spaces. We hope these findings will contribute to the development of inclusive methodological approaches using mobile apps in refugee settings.

Authors: DELİGÖZ Ayşe , KARABACAK Fatih
Published: September 2022

Studies on the characterization and evaluation of plant genetic resources should be carried out in order to identify and conserve laurel (Laurus nobilis L.) gene resources from medicinal and aromatic plants of commercial importance in Turkey. This study was carried out with the aim of determining photosynthetic characteristics of containerized laurel seedlings grown from seeds collected from Antalya, Muğla and İzmir regions. Photosynthetic properties (net photosynthetic rate, transpiration, stomatal conductance, water use efficiency, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll and carotenoid) were determined in the seedlings of three populations in August and October during the first growing season following sowing. According to the results obtained, in August, İzmir-Bayındır population had the highest net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate, while Antalya-Manavgat population had the lowest values. In October, Muğla-Gökova population showed higher stomatal conductance, transpiration rate and carotenoid than others. The differences between the chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll contents of the populations were found to be statistically insignificant. Based on the photosynthetic pigment and gas exchange parameters, İzmir-Bayındır and Muğla- Gökova populations were found to be the most promising populations. These populations can be assessed in the future breeding program of laurel.

Authors: Shah D. K. , Patel Krupal M. , Patel Shreyansh , Padshala Renish , Doliya Tejas
Published: September 2022

Background: Although there are many scores to evaluate a patient having trauma, BATSS is a newer score specifically designed for blunt abdominal trauma which is not adequately studied. The objective was to study the efficacy of BATSS by comparing it with conventional experience-based management of Blunt abdominal trauma.Methods: 100 patients presenting with blunt abdominal trauma between March 2019 to May 2020 were randomly selected. Patients were treated by conventional experience-based management and it was compared with management guided by BATSS by prospective observation. Analysis was done by assessing need for CT scan of abdomen and laparotomy to check efficacy of BATSS.Results:100 patients were included in study. CT Abdomen is rarely required in low-risk category (BATSS<8, p <0.0001). In Moderate and High-risk category (BATSS>8), CT Abdomen is required to accurately identify Intra-abdominal injury (p=0.0006 and 0.0965 respectively). Laparotomy may be necessary in any risk category patient for hollow viscous perforation. BATSS does not have a variable like X-ray-Chest standing to diagnose hollow viscous perforation. So, some patients in Low-risk category may also need Laparotomy (p 0.06892) which is not indicated by BATSS. Not all patients in high-risk category needs laparotomy (p=0.00009).Conclusions: Variables used to score the severity of trauma are inadequate and some patients would be improperly categorised in blunt abdominal trauma scoring system. So, we conclude that BATSS is not useful in our setup and requires modifications.

Background: Cough, cold and related discomforts are the most common discomforts affecting general population, which can adversely affects subjects’ quality of life due to its physical, social, and psychological effects. To know the patients perception towards cough and cold preparation is need of hour for health care industry.Methods: This study investigated the knowledge, attitude and behaviour of patients toward use of cough and cold preparations. Questionnaires were distributed to patients approaching to pharmacy for purchasing these drugs.Results: The age group was from 17 to 55. In our study 66 % of patients reported that they prefer liquid oral formulation over other dosage form. Further in syrup formulations. Around 59% of patients are prescribed with some of the cough syrup while remaining 41% are purchasing OTC preparations. But 58% patients still not aware with concept of OTC medicine. Further 51% patients are not aware about the adverse effects of such preparations.Conclusions: The study provides important insights into the use of cough and cold medications in general populations especially about OTC medications. There is need to create awareness in patients about safe use of these preparation, as the safety profile of drugs included in cough syrup is very important here.
Death certification errors in medical certificates of cause of death related to COVID-19 disease
Authors: Patil Amit , Singh Nilabh Prasad
Published: September 2022

Background: In the case of public health emergency scenarios, mortality surveillance done by analyzing medical certificates of cause of death (MCCDs) provides accurate morbidity and mortality data. Precise death certification in the novel coronavirus disease 2019 deaths is critical to understanding the magnitude and advancement of the pandemic. Inaccurate death certificates may cause underreporting or overwhelming reporting of COVID-19 deaths.Methods: The aim of the study was to analyse the MCCDs issued by the institute where the cause of death was attributed to or associated with the COVID-19 infection for certification errors. 729 MCCDs issued in COVID-19 deaths were audited primarily for their formal correctness and completeness and errors, using categories previously reported with some minor modifications. The study did not include analyzing the medical and hospital records of the deceased for the factual correctness of these MCCDs.Results: All types of major and minor certification errors were observed. Incomplete MCCDs were observed in 697 (95.61%) cases. 691 MCCDs (94.8%) were having either major or minor or both types of errors. Abbreviations were used in the MCCDs in 65.29% of cases while improper sequencing of the causes of death was observed in 52.92% of cases. Wrong terminologies like “COVID”, “COVID pneumonia”, “COVID +ve”, and “coronavirus” were used instead of the standard terminology.Conclusions: The lack of completeness and accuracy in writing the causes of death related to COVID-19 indicates a problem faced by the certifying doctors in analyzing them, especially in the early days of the pandemic.

Authors: Luke Anwuri , Owhonda Golden , Tobin-West Charles
Published: September 2022

The self-reported method of assessing adherence levels among human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients is the most commonly applied measure, despite its limitations with recall bias and overestimation of outcome variables. This study determined the levels of self-reported adherence to HIV/AIDS management and its associated factors among gender groups at a referral treatment centre in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. This cross-sectional study was conducted among HIV-positive adults attending the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital between September 2020 to November 2020. Systematic sampling technique was employed to select eligible participants using a 7-item brief medication self-reporting tool. Data was analysed with statistical package for social science (SPSS) version-25. Test of association was measured using Pearson’s Chi-square and spearman rho rank tests, set at a significance level of p<0.05 and 95% confidence interval. Confounding variables were controlled using multiple logistic regression analysis. 1600 participants; females (800), and males (800) were recruited. The mean age and standard deviation reported were; male (44.53±10.50), female (40.58±9.34). The mean self-reported optimal adherence levels observed were; male (98.7±6.4) and female (97.3±10.0). The significant variables associated with self-reported adherence levels were revealed only among the male group; religion (aOR=0.076; 95% CI=0.024-0.239; p<0.001), level of education (aOR=0.451; 95% CI=0.213-0.955; p=0.038), and non-payment for HIV support services (aOR=4.105; 95% CI; 1.712-9.792; p<0.001). The male group self-reported better optimal adherence than the female group. Also, the associated factors to self-reported adherence were only significant among the male group. Therefore, robust adherence counselling should be targeted at improving adherence among the female gender.
CONTATOS E INTERSECÇÕES CULTURAIS NUMA ÁREA DE FRONTEIRA: PASSADO E PRESENTE INDÍGENA NO TRIÂNGULO MINEIRO
Authors: Mano Marcel
Published: September 2022

Este ensaio pretende contribuir para o debate recente que procura superar duas distorções referentes às ocupações indígenas nas regiões dos atuais Triângulo Mineiro, Norte de São Paulo e Sul de Goiás. A primeira é a crença na existência, no passado, de uma ocupação exclusiva por um suposto povo indígena homogêneo denominado Cayapó. E a segunda é pensar a história desse grupo com base em apenas dois destinos: o da aculturação/extermínio e o da resistência/fuga. Com base em dados provenientes da Arqueologia, da Etnologia e da História Indígena, a intenção é então mostrar, por um lado, como essa região foi desde sempre uma área de fronteira e intersecções entre povos e culturas diferentes e, por outro lado, que os destinos desses grupos também incorporaram estratégias de negociações e persistências adaptativas, tal como mostra a emergência atual de dois movimentos indígenas organizados na região.

Authors: Hima Bindu M. , Joshi K.P. , Jamadar Deepak
Published: September 2022

Adivasi is the collective term commonly used for the Tribes of the Indian subcontinent who constitute 8.6% of the total Indian population. Apart from high rates of malnutrition and communicable diseases, rapid urbanisation, and changing lifestyles and environment, has led to a rise in non-communicable diseases also.

The objective of the study is to determine the socio demographic profile of the study population and to identify the health problems of the study population.

A survey based cross-sectional study was conducted between Dec-2021 to Jan-2022in Appapur&Bowrapur villages of Nagarkurnool district,Telanagana. Convenience sampling procedure was followed. A pre-tested questionnaire regarding demographic & health profile was used. Data was entered systematically / scored accordingly in MS-Excel software. The statistical software SPSS version 23 was used for data analysis.

Among the total study population, the Mean age was 28.12. Majority participants (66.1%) were females and most of them (72.7%) were Illiterates with 50% population being alcoholics. Generalized weakness was the major health problem seen, and 19.6% population were found to be hypertensive. About 73.2% population were aware regarding the transmission and precautions of COVID and 64.3% aware regarding the vaccination for COVID

About one fourth of the study subjects were aged above 45 years and about two thirds were females and Illiterates and were in unskilled occupations. Alcoholism was the major addiction seen in half of the people. Majority population were suffering from generalized weakness. Majority population were aware regarding the transmission, precautions and vaccination for COVID.
A retrospective cross-sectional study assessing adverse events following immunization (AEFI) of COVID 19 vaccine in a subset of Indian population

Published: September 2022

As the COVID-19 pandemic is an emerging healthcare concern, there has been swift vaccine development with minimal clinical trials questioning its protective efficacy outside of clinical trial conditions. The study aims to analyze the adverse events following immunization (AEFI) with COVID-19 vaccines among the domestic Indian population. It also aimed to evaluate the association between AEFI and demographic characteristics, comorbidities, and type of vaccine.

This cross-sectional survey included participants ≥ 18 years of Indian origin for passive reporting of AEFI with COVID-19 vaccination using a questionnaire. The incidence of AEFI was calculated in percentage; the Chi-square test was used to determine associations between AEFI and independent variables.

The incidence of reported AEFI was 76.4%. The most frequently reported AEFI was redness [74.38% (n = 328)], followed by pain [52.83% (n = 233)], swelling [52.83% (n = 233)], and fever [50.34% (n = 222)]. The majority of AEFIs were mild to moderate and resolved spontaneously. Females had significantly more AEFI with longer duration than males. The type of vaccine received had no significant effect on the number or duration of AEFI; 3.63% tested positive for COVID-19 after the first dose and 3.11% after the second dose of the vaccine, with no significant correlation between comorbidities and the presence of AEFI.

More than three-fourths of the vaccines resulted in one or more forms of adverse events, but most events were self-limiting. Females were more prone to develop AEFI. Knowledge about what to expect after vaccination will help educate the public, allay misconceptions and reduce vaccine hesitancy.

Those of us in the open education field often talk about how open education expands access, supports knowledge sharing, and potentially enhances the quality of education. We also critique open education for sometimes reproducing inequalities despite promising to promote social justice. But what about the ways in which openness removes/destroys barriers within us? In what ways does openness empower us from the outside-in? When does openness influence critical change and when might it fail to do so? In this opinion piece, I will explore some of the things openness makes possible that are often not possible within the walls of institutions, and which can end up challenging and subverting injustice by focusing on some key principles within the practice of “Virtually Connecting,” and I will explore a notion of entangled openness whereby open practices require a complex interplay between open attitudes, social justice praxis, and digital literacies within a team.

Niniejsza praca została poświęcona kompleksowej interpretacji interwałów otworu wiertniczego B-7, w przypadku którego dysponowano rdzeniami zbudowanymi z takich skał jak anhydryty, dolomity, węglany oraz mułowce. Do przeprowadzenia badań wykorzystane zostały dane uzyskane na podstawie ciągłych pomiarów rdzeni wiertniczych z zastosowaniem metod tomografii komputerowej (CT), fluorescencji rentgenowskiej (XRF) oraz naturalnej promieniotwórczości gamma (GR) wraz z pomiarem gęstości objętościowej (gamma-gamma). Wymienione metody wchodzą w zakres pomiarów nieniszczących; z wykorzystaniem odpowiednich kalibracji mogą być prowadzone na połówkach rdzeni archiwalnych. Dla uzyskania szczegółowej interpretacji profilowań rdzeni wiertniczych wymagane jest wykonanie laboratoryjnych pomiarów referencyjnych. W przypadku rdzeni z otworu B-7 badania laboratoryjne przeprowadzono na próbkach pobranych z roboczej części rdzenia. Zakres badań stacjonarnych obejmował pomiary składu chemicznego (ICP-MS/OES), mineralnego (XRD), promieniotwórczości naturalnej gamma (K, U, Th), gęstości objętościowej oraz porowatości. Wyniki pomiarów laboratoryjnych posłużyły do sprawdzenia jakości danych oraz do kalibracji ciągłych pomiarów rdzeni w postaci połówek walca (część archiwalna). Na podstawie skalibrowanych danych XRF i badań XRD utworzono modele mineralogiczno-chemiczne dla skał anhydrytowych, węglanowych i mułowcowych, dzięki którym przeprowadzono interpretację litologiczną. Badania gęstości i porowatości posłużyły do kalibracji krzywych gęstości uzyskanych z metody gamma-gamma oraz CT. W ramach kompleksowej interpretacji danych geofizycznych wyniki z ciągłych pomiarów rdzeni zostały porównane z profilowaniami geofizyki wiertniczej oraz z wynikami badań laboratoryjnych. Łącznie przebadano około 28 metrów rdzeni wiertniczych. Ponadto wykonano zestawienie wyników interpretacji litologicznej z pomiarów otworowych, jak i pomiarów na rdzeniach. Końcowe zestawienia zaprezentowano w postaci krzywych wynikowych oraz słupków litologicznych w domenie głębokości. Wybrane interwały rdzeni pozwoliły na przetestowanie stosowanej aparatury oraz metod interpretacji w szerokim zakresie zmienności litologicznej.
Factors influencing MICE destination revisit intentions: A literature review
Authors: Ramadan Ammar , Kasim Azilah
Published: September 2022

The relationship between push and pull factors with the intention to revisit a destination has often been investigated in the context of general tourism. Not much is known on the factors influencing MICE destination revisit intentions, despite the numerous socioeconomic benefits that many countries have received from the MICE tourism business. This article attempts to fill the gap of knowledge by critically reviewing the literature using the integrative review approach. By reviewing, critiquing and synthesizing major literature on the issue, two push factors i.e. networking and educational opportunities and four pull factors i.e. destination image, travel costs, attraction and accessibility are established as influencing revisit intentions to MICE destination. Then a theoretical model of relationship between those factors and MICE destination revisit intentions is proposed.

PORTRAYAL OF AUTISM IN ATYPICAL FILM: PRAGMATIC LANGUAGE IMPAIRMENT ANALYSIS
Authors: Fatimah Roudhoh Nur , Syahriyani Alfi
Published: September 2022

This study investigates the portrayal of the autistic character in Atypical film seasons one and two through verbal and non-verbal pragmatic language impairment analysis. The qualitative method and the theory of mind by Attwood and Stemmer Whitaker were employed in the research. This study found that the autistic character in Atypical film made 320 language impairments, including verbal and non-verbal languages. For verbal language impairment, literal interpretations and violation of maxims were frequently found, where the repetitions often occurred. Other quite significant language impairments were monologue, odd prosody, and echolalia. Besides, the idiosyncratic speech was rarely used by the character. For non-verbal pragmatic language impairment, the character mainly utilized clumsy or gauche body language, followed by limited use of gesture and facial expressions, inappropriate facial expressions, and peculiar or stiff gazes. These findings proved that the character of the series was represented as the ASD sufferer with the Asperger syndrome spectrum. Language impairment greatly affected the development of thoughts and how the character adjusted tone and intonation of speech. It was challenging to control verbal language well, so non-verbal communication was often disrupted.
