Published: September 2023

The present study measured the effects of blogging on enhancing the English writing performance of intermediate learners in terms of language and vocabulary in the writing skill. The researcher used a pre-test and post-test true experimental design for the present study. For this purpose, the researcher got prior permission from the head of the concerned college and took a pre-test from 68 intermediate part-2 students. The aim of the pretest was to assess the levels of learners’ writing in the English language in terms of language and vocabulary. To achieve the research objectives and test the null hypotheses, an independent sample t-test was applied to get the mean difference between the post-test scores of the two groups. The mean scores and significant difference between blogging and pen-and-paper groups on the variable of pre and post-test scores were tested at the significant level of 0.05. The salient differences of blogging were multiple; speedy, anywhere, anytime feedback from teachers and bloggers, and peer review at their convenience. Study findings indicated that the blogging effect was significant in enhancing the writing performance with respect to language and vocabulary of text writing. It was also found that technology-based internet writing, peer review, peer feedback, and anywhere-anytime learning via blogging were more effective as compared to traditional pen-and-paper writing.

Published: September 2023

The study examines the effectiveness of two rows of hybrid film cooling holes over a plate surface using infrared technology and a thermal wind tunnel. The two rows consist of seventeen coolant injection holes, with nine in the first row and eight in the second row. Two cases were studied: case 1 using cylindrical holes and case 2 using hybrid holes. Both cases had the same cross-sectional area with a hydraulic diameter of 5.3 mm and a forward coolant injection angle of 30° in the streamwise direction. Different blowing ratios (mass flows ratio between the coolant and mainstream) were tested at 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5. The study focuses on evaluating the impact of hole shape with various blowing ratios on film cooling effectiveness. In addition, thermal images of the test surface were taken via an infrared camera after reaching a steady state. The results indicated that at a blowing ratio of 0.5, there was a significant enhancement in film efficacy, with a decrease in the test surface temperature of the cylinder and hybrid hole cases by 31.8% and 35.0%, respectively, when compared to a blowing ratio of 1.0 and 1.5, which had a temperature increase. Therefore, the film cooling effectiveness decreased to 30.9% and 32.4%, and 29.5% and 31.7% for the cylinder and hybrid hole cases, respectively. Additionally, the better overall film cooling effectiveness in this study was achieved by the configuration of the hybrid holes at a blowing ratio of 0.5, which resulted in a film cooling effectiveness of 35.0%

Study Design: Prospective comparative study.

Place and Duration of Study: Surgical Department, Combined Military Hospital, Rawalpindi Pakistan, from Jan 2020 to Jun 2021.

Methodology: This study was conducted on 300 patients who underwent hernioplasty for anterior abdominal wall hernias at our hospital. They were randomly divided into two groups before the surgery. Group-A received only mesh repair, while Group-B received subway repair. They were followed up for two weeks for any post-operative complications. Post-operative pain, seroma formation, hematoma formation and the presence of surgical site infection were compared in both groups.

Results: Out of 300 patients included in the final analysis, 189(63%) were male, and 111(37%) were female. About 163(54.4%) underwent subway repair, while 137(45.6%) underwent only repair. The commonest complication observed in patients was post-operative pain 68(22.7%), followed by surgical site infection 36(12%). Statistical analysis revealed that seroma formation, post-operative pain and surgical site infection were significantly observed more in patients undergoing only mesh repair than subway repair (p-value<0.05).

Conclusion: Post-surgical complications were commonly observed in patients within two weeks of surgery. In addition, patients undergoing Onlay mesh repair were more prone to have seroma formation, post-operative pain and surgical site infection than those undergoing Sublay repair.

The main purpose of this research is to find out if, in the (scarce) relevant literature, a literature review, which relates the intellectual capital and the transport sectors, in general, there is something new in common that relates the 2 topics. The transport sectors, always but, today, more than in the past, is extremely important, both for the mobility of citizens on a daily basis and for the purpose of transporting goods. That is, directly and/or indirectly, it is pertinent. The interference of intellectual capital, on the transport sectors, potential and, in effective terms (in reality), can be important to enhance the sectors. In the selected literature, due to its scarcity and lack of substance, with a scientific contribution, what was obtained, proved to be practically null. One of the explanations that may be in the base is the lack of information that can be worked on, based on primary data. These enable, in terms of potential, public policy decision-makers, more solid and far-reaching contributions. This, today, the year 2023, is something that is still waiting and if it is not based on the public entities themselves, the waiting time will be even longer.

Background: Based on the premise that technology has changed the way in which the Accounting profession is exercised, it becomes relevant to understand the challenges that Certified Accountants face when using artificial intelligence. Method: Smart technologies have enormous potential as tools at the service of accounting and the preparation of financial and non-financial information for decision-making, however, they also affect the practice of the profession, which legitimizes concerns about the evolution of the profession and the need to assume new functions. Results: The greater the incorporation of technology in companies, the more and better skills accounting professionals will need to ensure to show their relevance and ability to add value. This rapidly evolving scenario requires a real change in the accountant's functions, but also the possibility of emerging new opportunities. Thus, the present research proposal consists of a descriptive study with a quantitative and qualitative component and aims to analyse the potential use of artificial intelligence in accounting, and its consequent impact on the functions of the accountant. Conclusion: The quantitative component will be supported by a questionnaire addressed to Certified Accountants, while the qualitative component will be supported by an interview guide and will have the purpose of collecting comments on the proposed objective, as well as on the results obtained in the quantitative analysis.
EFFECT OF CONTRACT FARMING ON SMALLHOLDER FARMERS' GREEN LEAF TEA PRODUCTION IN TANZANIA
Authors:   The Open University of Tanzania, Dogeje Finias ,   Tanzania, Ngaruko Deus
Published: September 2023

This paper investigates the impact of contract farming on green leaf tea output among Tanzanian smallholder farmers. Data from 393 growers from Mbeya and Njombe regions were collected in a cross-sectional survey and analysed descriptively using IBM Statistics Version 26. A multiple linear regression model was used to test the null hypothesis. The findings show that contract farming engagement (β=140.102; P=0.058) positively impact production. Moreover, household size (β=2.268; P=0.903) and gender (β=294.978; P=0.000) positively impact green leaf tea production. Besides, age (β=-2.719), education (β=-3171.868), and farm size (β=-20.866) all negatively impact production, but education only was statistically significant at P=0.002. We conclude that, contract farming has a favourable impact on green leaf tea production and suggests recognising its potential for farmers’ growth. Besides, its nuanced importance and borderline P value (0.058) prompts further research on contract design, capacity-building, and market dynamics. Additionally, this paper highlights nuanced effects of farmer attributes. While household size and gender positively influences production, age, education, and larger farms negatively impact it. A comprehensive approach to tea production optimization, considering age-appropriate practices, education-specific interventions, and efficient farm management, is crucial. Further investigation into the combined effects of age, education, and gender is suggested for holistic insights.

Published: September 2023

The paper addresses the actual scientific and practical problem of deepening the theoretical foundations of managing an enterprise's reputation risks in the system of its economic security and developing practical recommendations for assessing the impact of an entity's reputation risks on its economic security. The existence of various approaches to the determination of reputational risk has led to the emergence of a considerable number of different in the methodological and instrumental aspect of methods of its assessment, which are not systematic and complex in nature. Existing methods of quantitative assessment of reputational risk can be divided into two groups: a priori - based on theoretical provisions and formulate requirements regarding the results of management decisions; empirical - based on the study of past events and the processing of information, including statistical one. An analysis of general approaches to risk assessment has shown that the lack of consensus on assessing the reputational risk of an enterprise makes it impossible to manage it. Therefore, the proposed methodical tool for assessing the reputational risk of the enterprise, based on the principles of system-functional and process approaches and outlines the synergistic contours of the influence of risk-forming factors in view of the target groups of stakeholders in the reputational matrix of the enterprise, allows the owner to determine and serve as the basis for building a given risk management system at the enterprise.

Published: September 2023

Abstract. Land surface processes, crucial for exchanging carbon, nitrogen, water, and energy between the atmosphere and terrestrial Earth, significantly impact the climate system. Many of these processes vary considerably at small spatial and temporal scales, in particular in mountainous terrain and complex topography. To examine the impact of spatial resolution and quality of input data on modeled land surface processes, we conducted simulations using the Community Land Model 5 (CLM5) at different resolutions and based on a range of input datasets over the spatial extent of Switzerland. Using high-resolution meteorological forcing and land-use data, we found that increased resolution not only improved the representation of snow cover in CLM5 (up to 52 % enhancement) but also propagated through the model, directly affecting gross primary productivity and evapotranspiration. These findings highlight the significance of high spatial resolution and high-confidence input datasets in land surface models, enabling better quantification and constraint of process uncertainties. They have profound implications for climate impact studies. As improvements were observed across the cascade of dependencies in the land surface model, high spatial resolution as well as high-quality forcing data becomes necessary for accurately capturing the impacts of recent climate change. This study further highlights the utility of multi-resolution modeling experiments when aiming to improve process-based representation of variables in land surface models. By embracing high-resolution modeling, we can enhance our understanding of Earth's systems and their responses to climate change.

Abstract. We present the first measurements of simultaneous horizontal and vertical winds using a new VAHCOLI lidar system developed at the Leibniz Institute for Atmospheric Physics in Kühlungsborn, Germany (54.12° N, 11.77° E). We describe the technical details of a multi-field-of-view (MFOV) upgrade, which allows to measure wind dynamics in the transition region from microscale to mesoscale (103−104 m). The method was applied at the edge of a developing high-pressure region. Comparisons between the lidar measurements and data from ECMWF show excellent agreement for the horizontal wind components, better than 0.30 ± 0.36 m s−1 along the north beam of the lidar and −0.93 ± 0.73 m s−1 along the south beam. Measurements of vertical wind show significant underestimation of this component by ECMWF. Comparison to ADM-Aeolus shows good agreement, better than −0.12 ± 3.31 m s−1. The capability of the MFOV lidar to explore small-scale asymmetries in the wind field is shown by comparison of the north and south field of view, where we observe a wind asymmetry in the meridional winds, which is also present in ECMWF but underestimated by a factor of approximately four.
Real-time Monitoring and Analysis of Debris Flow Events: Insight from seismic signal features and dynamic flow characteristics

Published: September 2023

Abstract. Debris flows are among the most dangerous natural hazards worldwide because they start abruptly, move quickly, and transport large boulders, causing great loss of life and infrastructure. The most important approach to preventing and mitigating debris flows is through monitoring and early warning. In recent years, environmental seismology has emerged as a powerful method for monitoring debris flows because it allows non-contact observation over large areas and can provide extensive information on debris flow dynamics. However, further research is required on combining debris flow imagery with seismic signal analysis, incorporating information from post-disaster surveys, and the inversion of seismic signals into dynamic parameters of debris flows. Here, we aim to explore the basic parameters, development process, and magnitude of debris flows based on seismic signal analysis combined with other information recorded in real time during the formation and development of three debris flows in Wenchuan, China. The analysis involves three stages. First, we compensate for the energy loss of the seismic signal due to the absorption attenuation effect and restore the signal to an unchanged state as far as possible. Second, we identify the start and end time of the debris flow from the seismic signal, analyze the rainfall data to determine that the debris flow was triggered by the test rain, and determine that changes in the energy and frequency ranges of the seismic signal are highly consistent with the development of the debris flow. Third, a comprehensive analysis of debris flow images, the power spectral density (PSD) of the seismic signal, and forward modeling of the PSD of the seismic signal of the debris flow are used to reveal the relationship between the seismic signal and the development process of the debris flow and clarify the feasibility of debris flow analysis from the time-frequency characteristics of the seismic signal. Debris flow exhibits the characteristics of fast excitation and slow recession. Using the cross-correlation algorithm and verifying Manning's formula, a maximum velocity of 7.027 m/s was calculated for the second debris flow. A comparison of the frequency characteristics of the seismic signal allowed the relative magnitude of the three debris flows to be assessed. The study provides a theoretical basis and a case study exemplar for the reconstruction of the debris flow process and peak velocity estimation using debris flow seismology, offering a framework for upscaling debris flow monitoring networks and the determination of early warning thresholds.

Published: September 2023

Abstract. The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) is characterised by huge ice sheets covering the Northern Hemisphere, especially over North America, and by its cold climate. Numerical simulations of the climate and ice sheets of the LGM have been performed to better understand these systems, however the inherent uncertainty and sensitivity in the simulations to the selection of model parameters remain uncertain. Here, we perform a 200-member ensemble of simulations of the North American and Greenland ice sheets and climate of the LGM with an ice sheet-atmosphere-slab ocean coupled model (FAMOUS-BISICLES) to explore sensitivities of the coupled climate-ice system to 16 uncertain parameters. In the ensemble of simulations, the global temperature is primarily controlled by the combination of parameters in the large-scale condensation scheme and the cumulus convection scheme. In simulations with plausible LGM global temperatures, we find that the albedo parameters have only a small impact on the Greenland ice volume due to the limited area of surface ablation associated with the cold climate. Instead, the basal sliding law controls the ice volume by affecting ice transport from the interior to the margin. On the other hand, like the Greenland ice sheet in future climate change, the LGM North American ice sheet volume is controlled by parameters in the snow and ice albedo scheme. Few of our simulations produce an extensive North American ice sheet when the global temperature is above 12 °C. Based on constraints on the LGM global temperature, the ice volume and the southern extent of the North American ice sheet, we select 16 acceptable simulations. These simulations lack the southern extent of ice compared to reconstructions, though show reasonable performance on the ice sheet configuration and ice streams facing the Baffin Bay and the Arctic Ocean. The strong sensitivities of the North American ice sheet to albedo at the LGM may imply a potential constraint on the future Greenland ice sheet by constraining the albedo schemes.
A Survey of Radiative and Physical Properties of North Atlantic Mesoscale Cloud Morphologies from Multiple Identification Methodologies

Published: September 2023

Abstract. Three supervised neural network cloud classification routines are applied to daytime MODIS Aqua imagery and compared for the year 2018 over the North Atlantic Ocean: The Morphology Identification Data Aggregated over the Satellite-era (MIDAS), which specializes in subtropical stratocumulus (Sc) clouds; Sugar, Gravel, Flowers, and Fish (SGFF), which is focused on shallow cloud systems in the tropical trade winds; and the community record of marine low cloud mesoscale morphology supported by the NASA Making Earth Science Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) dataset, which is focused on shallow clouds globally. Comparisons of co-occurrence and vertical and geographic distribution show that morphologies are classified in geographically distinct regions: shallow suppressed and deeper aggregated and disorganized cumulus are seen in the tropical trade winds. Shallow Sc types are frequent in subtropical subsidence regions. More vertically developed solid stratus and open and closed cell Sc are frequent in the mid-latitude storm track. Differing classifier routines favor noticeably different distributions of equivalent types. Average scene albedo is more strongly correlated with cloud albedo than cloud amount for each morphology. Cloud albedo is strongly correlated with the fraction of optically thin cloud cover. The albedo of each morphology is dependent on latitude and location in the mean anticyclonic wind flow over the N. Atlantic. Strong rain rates are associated with middling values of albedo for many cumuliform types, hinting at a complex relationship between the presence of heavily precipitating cores and cloud albedo. The presence of ice at cloud top is associated with higher albedos. For a constant albedo, each morphology displays a distinct set of physical characteristics.

The article presents the material on the study of clinical and morphological indicators of endometrial glandular-cystic hyperplasia in cows. It has been established that the share of endometrial hyperplasia glandulocystica in cows accounts for 11.4% of the total number of chronic uterine diseases. Most often, this pathology is diagnosed in cows 120 or more days after calving with an annual milk production of 6000-7000 kg. Glandular-cystic hyperplasia of the endometrium is most typical of the animals of the Red-Motley and Simmental breeds with loose keeping. Endometrial hyperplasia glandulocystica is characterized by a thickening of the uterine wall up to 6.5±0.28 mm, the presence of a cavity in the uterine horns of 3.4±0.19 mm, follicular cysts in the ovaries with a diameter of 42.5±2.8 mm. Endometrial hyperplasia glandulocystica is characterized by an increase in the height of the cells of the covering epithelium up to the height of prismatic one, growth of the uterine glands with the expansion of their lumens, an increase in height and vacuolization of the glandular epithelium. In case of glandular-cystic hyperplasia, uterine glands account for 28.6%, blood vessels – 12.3%, covering epithelium – 5.7%, which is by 1.88-1.97 times more, compared to clinically healthy animals. The height of the cells of the covering epithelium in case of this pathology is higher by 13.1%, the height of the epithelial cells of the uterine glands – by 23.4%, the thickness of the endometrium – by 1.38 times, which indicates endometrial hypertrophy.

The presence of antisperm antibodies in the blood and secretions of the genital tract can inhibit the interaction of spermatozoa with eggs, and they can inhibit the development of zygotes after fertilization. Therefore, the identification and study of antigens that can reduce reproductive function is of great importance for understanding their relationship with infertility and with antisperm antibodies. The physiological features of native and frozen-thawed sperm of cats with different antigenic profile of erythrocytes by blood groups were established. The mobility of native spermatozoa was the lowest in cats of blood group AB, which is 6.45% less (P<0.001) than the mobility of spermatozoa in animals with blood group A and 6.73% less (P<0.001) than the activity of spermatozoa in cats with the blood group blood B. The concentration in all ejaculates was from 78 to 425 million / ml. The highest sperm concentration was in cats with blood type AB, which is 0.64 million/ml more than in blood group B and 32.57 million/ml more (P<0.01) in cats with blood type A. The largest number of pathological forms of spermatozoa were found by us in cats with blood type AB, which is 4.34% more (P<0.05) from blood group A and 5.15% more (P<0.05) from cats with blood type B. The data obtained allow us to conclude that for the creation of cryobanks of sperm production, cats with blood type A or B are most desirable. blood group B and 5.55% more (P<0.01) from animals with blood group AB. The data obtained allow us to state that the physiological usefulness of germ cells of cats of Russian selection is better in cats with blood type A or B. hours more (P<0.05) from blood group B and 0.68 hours more (P<0.001) from animals of blood group AB.

In this work, we leveraged the unique characteristics of the Huckel strategy to obtain significant insights into the Benzene system. In addition to expressing the delocalization energy of the conjugated Benzene ring framework, we used a theoretical method to construct secular equations, energy, wave functions, electron density, and charge density for the C6H6+ (cation), C6H6- (anion), and C6H6. (radical). To determine the orbital energies, electron and charge density, and charge density of this stable configuration, we provided the secular determinant of the Huckel approach and applied it to the Benzene system. Our method makes it simple for graduate and post-graduate students to comprehend the complexities of stable configuration analysis and its related parameters since it is based on the assumptions of local comparabilities, such as coulomb integrals, exchange integrals, and overlap integrals. The Benzene system may be studied, and its underlying electrical characteristics can be understood using our straightforward, hypothetical approach.

Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes of cataract surgery using the Primus-HD® intraocular lens (IOL) and conventional ARTIS® PL E IOL.Methods: The study retrospectively enrolled 242 eyes of 151 patients who had undergone cataract surgery with either ARTIS® PL E (Group A) or Primus-HD® (Group B) IOLs between April 19th, 2021 and November 30th, 2022 at Severance Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine. Eyes with a history of ocular surgery or trauma or ocular comorbidities that can affect postoperative visual outcomes were excluded. Finally, 69 eyes in group A and 36 eyes in group B were analyzed.Results: At postoperative 3 months, there was no significant difference in uncorrected (0.15 ± 0.17 vs. 0.17 ± 0.18 in group A and B, p = 0.60) and best-corrected distance visual acuity (0.03 ± 0.06 vs. 0.02 ± 0.05 in group A and B, p = 0.75) between groups A and B. Postoperative uncorrected intermediate and near visual acuity, spherical equivalent and amount of myopic shifting were also similar between the two groups. The mean absolute error of the Barrett Universal II (0.61 ± 0.42 D vs. 0.28 ± 0.17 D in group A and B, p < 0.01) and Haigis (0.51 ± 0.38 D vs. 0.33 ± 0.23 D in group A and B, p = 0.01) formulas were significantly lower in group B compared with group A, showing good predictability. There was no significant difference between the higher order aberrations of the two groups at postoperative 3 months.Conclusions: The postoperative corrected and uncorrected distance visual acuity, predictability and higher order aberration outcomes of cataract surgeries using the Primus-HD® were comparable with results to ARTIS® PL E, whose efficacy and safety had previously been clinically verified.

Ö Z E T

Günümüzde örgütler başarısını iyi oluşturulmuş, paylaşılmış, benimsenmiş vizyonlarına bağlıdır. Vizyon, çalışanlarda coşku ve bağlılık oluşturan bir sözleşmedir. Okul yöneticileri geliştirdikleri okul vizyonu sayesinde öğretmenlerde bağlılık, enerji ve coşku yaratır. Ayrıca vizyoner liderin iletişime açık, takım ruhunu harekete geçiren, astlarına güven duygusu aşılayan yönü beraberinde mesleki ve örgütsel bağlılığı da getirecektir. Örgütün vizyonunu benimseyen, inanan çalışanlar canlı, tutkulu, coşkuyla ve adanmışlıkla bu vizyonu gerçekleştirmeye çalışırlar. Bu bağlamda günümüz okul müdürlerinin vizyoner lider olmaları gerekmektedir. Bu sayede okul çalışanlarında mesleki bağlılık ve mesleki canlılık artacak ve başarıya ulaşılabilecektir. Yapılan literatür taramasında bu üç değişkenin bir arada incelendiği araştırmaya rastlanılmamış olup oldukça önemli olan bu kavramlar arasındaki ilişki ve etkileşimin incelenmesinin literatürdeki bu boşluğu doldurmaya katkı sunacağı düşünülmüştür. Bu araştırmada öğretmen görüşlerine göre okul müdürlerinin vizyoner liderlik algıları ile öğretmenlerin mesleki bağlılık düzeyleri arasında bir ilişki olup olmadığı eğer varsa bu ilişkide mesleki canlılığın aracılık rolünün olup olmadığının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu doğrultuda hazırlanan anket ile Tunceli’de görev yapan 171 öğretmende online anket yöntemiyle veriler toplanmış ve analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları; öğretmenlerin okul yöneticilerini “vizyoner bir lider” olarak değerlendiklerini göstermektedir. Aynı şekilde mesleğe olan bağlılıklarının ve mesleki canlılıklarının yüksek olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Ayrıca kadın öğretmenlerin mesleki bağlılık ve mesleki canlılık düzeylerinin erkek öğretmenlere nazaran daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Öğretmenlerin mesleki bağlılık düzeyleri ile vizyoner liderlik algıları arasında pozitif yönde zayıf düzeyde anlamlı bir ilişki gösterdikleri tespit edilmiştir. Öğretmenlerin mesleki canlılık düzeyinin, vizyoner liderlik algılarının mesleki bağlılık düzeyleri üzerindeki etkisinde aracılık etkisinin orta düzeyde olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonunda okul yöneticileri ve kanun yapıcıların dikkatleri bu konuya çekilmiş ve daha kaliteli bir eğitim sistemi için bir takım öneriler sunulmuştur.
