Authors: Gamage Amila N. K. K. , Kumar Suresh
Published: February 2024

Disputes are common in construction projects, demanding significant attention in terms of financial resources, time, and manpower to seek resolutions. Conversely, unresolved disputes can create unfavorable effects on project performance. When project leaders recognize the major consequences of disputes, they can formulate strategies to proactively prevent or alleviate such conflicts. This heightened awareness empowers project teams to swiftly identify and resolve disputes, preventing their adverse consequences on successful project completion. The primary objective of this research is to enhance project management practices by providing insights into the effects of disputes, thereby enabling stakeholders to implement proactive strategies for prevention, mitigation, and effective resolution. Utilizing existing literature published between 2019 and 2023, this study critically analyzes 18 selected journal papers sourced from the ProQuest Central database, all of which have undergone rigorous review. This research identified nine major effects that appear due to disputes in construction projects. Further, cost overrun is identified as the major effect of disputes that can impact negatively in project performance and successful completion. This study further identified research gaps that need future studies.

Published: February 2024

The maintenance of soil fertility stability and soil health heavily relies on the biological properties of the soil. This study aims to investigate the biological properties of soil in immature plantations (TBM III) and mature plantations (TM 18) located in Aek Nabara Utara Plantation PTPN III, Bilah Hulu District, Labuhanbatu Regency. The research methodology employed survey and descriptive methods to analyze various parameters. The parameters measured in this study include C-Organic (%), Soil Respiration (mg/CO2), Total Microbes (CFU/ml), and Total Fungi (CFU/ml). The research findings indicate increased microbes, fungi, and respiration from immature plants (TBM III) to mature plants (TM 18). This increase can be attributed to environmental factors. Numerous ground cover plants at the research site facilitate the growth and reproduction of microbes and fungi. As the number of microbes and fungi increases, so does the respiration rate.

FRAME REPRESENTATION OF "PROFESSIONAL" LONDON (BY THE MATERIAL OF THE NOVEL "BLEAK HOUSE" BY CHARLES DICKENS)
Authors: Синяговская Л.И.
Published: February 2024

Чарльз Диккенс – великий британский классик, чья активная фаза творчества приходится на вторую половину девятнадцатого века. Одной из особенностей творчества писателя является описание жизни представителей всех слоев общества Англии того времени. Творчество британского классика также отличает подробное описание Лондона, так как действие большинства из его романов частично или полностью происходит в столице Англии. В романе «Холодный дом» город играет очень важную роль, так как описание самого города передает общее настроение повествования. В данной научной работе была выделена и подробно изучена фреймовая структура «профессионального» Лондона в романе британского писателя Чарльза Диккенса. Были изучены свойства репрезентации слотов «туман», «грязь», «смерть», «трясина». Подобная группировка слотов, используемых чаще для описания погодных условий, дальнейшее их объединение в фрейм по профессиональному принципу и, как следствие, построение нового когнитивного образа обеспечивает актуальность данного исследования. Также был интерпретирован образ Канцлерского суда и субъективное отношение автора к данной инстанции. Анализ фреймовой структуры романа позволил выявить связь «профессионального» Лондона и его индивидуально-авторское восприятие. Негативное отношение автора проявляется в использовании эмоционально-окрашенной лексики с отрицательной коннотацией, негативных ассоциативных образов и художественных средств выразительности. Отмечается также, что в тексте романа выделяется фреймовая структура, которая отражает индивидуально-авторское отношение писателя к современным ему реалиям посредством неочевидных образов. В первой части научной работы представлена теоретическая информация, раскрывающая понятие «фрейм», «слот» и его основные свойства. Вторая часть научной статьи иллюстрирует теоретический материал, описанный в первой части исследования на примере текста романа «Холодный дом». Заключение представляет собой выводы, полученные нами в хоте лингвистического исследования романа «Холодный дом». Методами данного исследования выступил библиографический и биографический анализы теоретического материала, так же метод сплошной выборки.

The Study of Modern Theater: Literary - Psychological - Social Through Little Eyolf Play- Henrik Ibsen
Authors: Salman Asst. Lect.: Yousif Ali Yousif , AL-dihaymawee Dr. Doaa Taher Matrood , Mohsen Asst.Lect : Ruaa Ali
Published: February 2024

Little Eyolf is a play that simulates an objective reality in a very narrow episode, which makes it a more classic psychological play than others. This dialogue extends into three acts and takes into its aspects a model of a simple Norwegian family through which the reality lived in other families, and their way of life is transmitted, because Ibsen is the great modern realistic theater, this author deliberately catches up with the exact details through which he can point out the scale of the realism of the work, the consistency of the characters and the exact realistic details all in order to create a realistic work reflecting the social nature in which this child lives and suffers from these many social overlaps.
Little Eyolf plays the reason for existence and departure; Ibsen conveys prosperity and tragedy in one house at close Times. He draws a plan for the future family dramatically and realistically that abstracts from those temporary passions and moves everyone to reality in its clear form, making the place of reality higher than imagination and emotions. That Eyolf is the result of a set of causes, the most important of which was his parents' neglect of his own psychological and social needs, and this is what caused the end that Eyolf and the whole family faced. In the end, little Eyolf is a psychological treatment and social simulation of the lived reality, which leads to a set of results at the end of the play represented by tragedy and social-family torment.
The impact of the disaster on the residents of the city of Derna, Libya, psychologically, behaviorally, and intellectually
Authors: Rhoumah Zakariya Rahoumah Abourawi
Published: February 2024

"The current research aims to determine whether disasters have an impact on the residents of the city of Derna in Libya psychologically, behaviorally, and intellectually. It also aims to investigate whether there are differences in the psychological, behavioral, and intellectual impact of disasters based on variables such as gender, age, extent of material damage, loss of a family member, and place of residence. The researcher followed a descriptive-analytical approach, and to achieve the research objectives, the researcher used two tools for collecting information and data: interviews and observations. The research community consisted of all residents of the city of Derna in eastern Libya, totaling 175,297. The sample consisted of 411 individuals, including 231 males and 180 females, selected using non-random sampling methods (purposive, quota, and accidental). The researcher arrived at a number of results, the most important being that disasters have psychological, behavioral, and intellectual effects that are evident among the research sample, such as acute psychological depression, aggressive behaviors, and difficulty in thinking. Additionally, there were differences between males and females in their response to disasters in favor of females due to the nature of females being emotionally sensitive and physically weaker. Furthermore, differences were also found among the research sample in the impact of disasters based on age, with children being more affected and more prone to behavioral disorders and psychological diseases, followed by the elderly over 60 years old. The rest of the age groups were less affected compared to children and the elderly. The research results also indicated that those who lost one or more family members and had their homes and properties damaged were more affected and sadder compared to other sample individuals whose properties were not damaged and who did not lose anyone. Finally, the results showed differences in the impact of disasters on the residents of the city of Derna in Libya psychologically, behaviorally, and intellectually based on their place of residence. The impact was greater on those living in the city center and on Sea Street because they suffered greater damage compared to those living in the east and west of the city.
Extending social accountability mandates to biomedical research in Canadian faculties of medicine
Authors: Wiper-Bergeron Nadine , Adam Holly L , Eady Kaylee , Moreau Katherine A , Kennedy Christopher RJ , Kendall Claire E
Published: February 2024

Background: Social accountability (SA), as defined by Boelen and Heck, is the obligation of medical schools to address the needs of communities through education, research and service activities. While SA is embedded within health profession education frameworks in medicine, they are rarely taught within graduate-level (MSc/PhD) education.
Methods: As these programs train future medical researchers, we invited first-year graduate students enrolled in a mandatory professionalism class at our institution (n = 111) to complete a survey on their perceptions of the importance of SA in their research, training, and future careers.
Results: Over 80% (n = 87) of respondents agreed that SA is relevant and felt committed to integrating it into their future research activities, only a limited number of students felt confident and/or supported in their abilities to integrate SA into their research.
Conclusions: Specific SA training in graduate education is necessary for students to effectively incorporate elements of SA into their research, and as such support the SA mandates of their training institutions. We posit that awareness of SA principles formalizes the professional standards for biomedical researchers and is thus foundational for developing a professionalism curriculum in graduate education programs in medicine. We propose an expansion of the World Health Organization (WHO) partnership pentagon to include partners within the research ecosystem (funding partners, certification bodies) that collaborate with biomedical researchers to make research socially accountable.
A survey of undergraduate medical students’ knowledge and attitudes about gender bias: the Newfoundland and Labrador perspective
Authors: Maxwell Erika , Sheppard Gillian , Yi Yanqing
Published: February 2024

Background: Female physicians and patients experience gender bias in healthcare. The purpose of this research is to explore medical students’ gender bias toward physicians and patients and whether their bias varies by gender.
Methods: We surveyed medical students at Memorial University between November 2020 and April 2021. We recruited participants through Facebook, email, and e-posters. We collected demographic information, including gender and class year. We used the Nijmegen Gender Awareness in Medicine Scale to measure gender sensitivity, gender role ideology toward patients, and gender role ideology toward doctors. We analyzed the data using averages and t-tests.
Results: Mean gender sensitivity scores were 4/5 indicating high gender sensitivity. Gender role ideology toward doctors mean scores were 2/5 indicating that students did not hold strong stereotypical views toward doctors. Although male students scored higher than female students (p<.05), mean scores for gender role ideology toward patients were low for both male and female students (x̄<2), indicating low stereotyping toward patients.
Conclusions: We found that students held largely non-biased ideologies surrounding gender in medicine and that female students were even less biased than male students for gender role ideology toward patients.

Published: February 2024

In this study, the variability of physiological parameters of five provenances of European beech (Fagus sylvatica), which were planted at two locations with different ecological conditions at Fruška Gora and Debeli Lug, was estimated. Provenance trials were established in the framework of COST Action E52: "Evaluation of Beech Genetic Resources for Sustainable Forestry". 2-3 years old seedlings originating from Croatia, Germany, Bosnia, Austria and Serbia were planted in blocks of fifty plants with a spacing of 2 x 1 m. Physiological parameters such as net photosynthesis, rate of transpiration and stomatal conductance were measured with a portable gas analysis system. Generally, provenances from Fruška Gora Mountain showed higher intensity of all physiological parameters than provenances located at site Debeli Lug. High correlations among rates of net photosynthesis and transpiration, on one side, and stomatal conductance, on the other side, were found. ANOVA test indicates that variability of net photosynthesis, transpiration and stomatal conductance of investigated provenances, at the two locations, was influenced both by environmental conditions of sites and genetic constitution of provenances.

Authors: Rezaii Afsaneh , Nasery Bahram , Yazdian Farshd , Hedayati Mohamad-Ali
Published: February 2024

Oriental beech is one of the most important tree species in the Caspian region that regenerates naturally. Seed pretreatment plays an important role in beech reforestation. For this reason the seeds of three different provenances; Gilan (Asalem), Nowshahr (Makarood), Gorgan (Cheshmeh gholgholy), across the Caspian region, were collected and after viability test (TTC) placed under cold stratification (for 8-19 weeks) to overcome dormancy. The results have shown that pregermination treatments had desirable effects on seed germination. There were significant variations between three origins and different treatment duration and germination characterstics. The Nowshahr and Gilan origins showed more similarity.
Impact of Tending Measures on Assortment Structure of Fellings in Central Croatian Beech Stands
Authors: Prka Marinko , Krpan Ante P. B.
Published: February 2024

The effects of management of even-aged beech stands on the quality of beech timber assortments by type of cut were investigated in the region of Bjelovar. The research was carried out using Croatian timber standards. Assortment tables were developed separately for thinning and intermediate felling, and separately for regeneration and final felling in accordance with the interventions of management. The average shares of assortments maintained the same ratios by quality classes regardless of the applied standards (HRN or HRN EN). The research identified the problems in production of assortments, and justified the need for developing separate tables for thinning, intermediate felling, and for regeneration and final felling. Through forest management the quantity and quality of timber assortments may be oriented to a certain extent towards the production target. With the application of tending measures the value of the stand and timber assortments increases over time. In economic respect, the development of false heartwood shows an opposite trend. Therefore a compromise must be achieved by proper management and determination of appropriate harvesting age of beech stands.

Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND

Artificial intelligence (AI) has potential in the optical diagnosis of colorectal polyps.

AIM

To evaluate the feasibility of the real-time use of the computer-aided diagnosis system (CADx) AI for ColoRectal Polyps (AI4CRP) for the optical diagnosis of diminutive colorectal polyps and to compare the performance with CAD EYETM (Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan). CADx influence on the optical diagnosis of an expert endoscopist was also investigated.

METHODS

AI4CRP was developed in-house and CAD EYE was proprietary software provided by Fujifilm. Both CADx-systems exploit convolutional neural networks. Colorectal polyps were characterized as benign or premalignant and histopathology was used as gold standard. AI4CRP provided an objective assessment of its characterization by presenting a calibrated confidence characterization value (range 0.0-1.0). A predefined cut-off value of 0.6 was set with values < 0.6 indicating benign and values ≥ 0.6 indicating premalignant colorectal polyps. Low confidence characterizations were defined as values 40% around the cut-off value of 0.6 (< 0.36 and > 0.76). Self-critical AI4CRP’s diagnostic performances excluded low confidence characterizations.

RESULTS

AI4CRP use was feasible and performed on 30 patients with 51 colorectal polyps. Self-critical AI4CRP, excluding 14 low confidence characterizations [27.5% (14/51)], had a diagnostic accuracy of 89.2%, sensitivity of 89.7%, and specificity of 87.5%, which was higher compared to AI4CRP. CAD EYE had a 83.7% diagnostic accuracy, 74.2% sensitivity, and 100.0% specificity. Diagnostic performances of the endoscopist alone (before AI) increased non-significantly after reviewing the CADx characterizations of both AI4CRP and CAD EYE (AI-assisted endoscopist ). Diagnostic performances of the AI-assisted endoscopist were higher compared to both CADx-systems, except for specificity for which CAD EYE performed best.

CONCLUSION

Real-time use of AI4CRP was feasible. Objective confidence values provided by a CADx is novel and self-critical AI4CRP showed higher diagnostic performances compared to AI4CRP.

Published: February 2024

Empirically utilized medicinal plants include Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera L) and Karuk leaves (Piper sarmentosum Roxb. Ex. Hunter). Moringa leaves contain active compounds, such as vitamins, carotenoids, polyphenols, phenolic acids, flavonoids, alkaloids, glucosinolates, isothiocyanates, tannins, saponins, and oxalates. The leaves of karuk contain polyphenols, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins. This study aimed to assess the anti-inflammatory activity of combination capsules of Moringa and Karuk leaf extracts in mice (Mus musculus). Anti-inflammatory agents are drugs that can suppress or reduce inflammation. The aim of the experimental method used in this study was to determine the optimal concentration for anti-inflammatory activity. Carrageenan as an inflammatory mediator in mouse paws. The anti-inflammatory test involved five groups of animals, each consisting of five mice. The negative control group received Na-CMC, the positive control group was administered diclofenac sodium, and the test samples involved a combination capsule of Moringa and Karuk leaf extract at doses of 350, 700, and 1,050 mg. Measurements were performed every hour for 6 hours after carrageenan induction. Data analysis employed the One-way ANOVA method to ascertain whether variations in the dose of the combination capsule of Moringa and Karuk leaf extracts affected anti-inflammatory activity in mice. The results indicate that the greatest inflammation inhibition occurs with the 1,050 mg dose, resulting in 23% inhibition, followed by 22% at 700 mg and 13% at 350 mg. Statistical analysis yielded a p-value of 0.048, which was less than 0.05. This suggests a significant difference in the anti-inflammatory activity among the test groups ...

Escherichia coli is a bacteria that causes infection. In Indonesia, it has been reported that Escherichia coli is resistant to several types of antibiotics; therefore, other alternatives are needed to inhibit the growth of this Escherichia coli. One alternative method is to use medicinal plants, such as cherry leaves, which contain flavonoids, saponins, and tannins as antibacterials. Aim to determine the antibacterial activity of an ethanol extract of cherry leaves (Muntingia calabura L.) against Escherichia coli bacteria. The research used a post-test-only control group design. This study contained 7 groups: 1 positive control group, 1 negative control group, and 5 treatment groups. The treatment group consisted of an ethanol extract of cherry leaves with concentrations of 1%, 2%, 4%, 8%, and 10%. The control group was a positive control (K(+) with co-trimoxazole and a negative control (K(-) namely dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at 10%. The data used was One-way ANOVA. The results of this study were the average zone of inhibition. The largest is at a concentration of 10%, namely 6 mm, while the smallest average inhibition zone is at a concentration of 4%, namely 4.37 mm. Concentrations of 2% and 1% do not indicate the presence of an inhibition zone. From these results it is concluded that there are significant differences between The concentration of cherry leaf ethanol extract against Escherichia coli bacteria and the minimum inhibitory level of cherry leaf ethanol extract against Escherichia coli bacteria is at a concentration of 4% with an average inhibition zone of 4.37mm.

Tributação e produtividade : como a reforma tributária pode afetar o crescimento econômico?
Authors: Oliveira João Maria de , Gomes Victor , Cavalcante Eric Jardim
Published: February 2024

Este capítulo demonstra os problemas da parte do sistema tributário brasileiro que incide sobre o consumo de bens e serviços e como esse tipo de tributo perdeu a necessária neutralidade setorial e espacial devido à sua complexidade. Para completar a análise, também é produzida uma simulação dos efeitos na economia caso esse conjunto de tributos seja ajustado e orientado na direção da neutralidade. Não obstante, o principal objetivo é produzir proposições de mudança na tributação sobre o consumo no Brasil. Proposta essa que privilegie os efeitos dos tributos sobre a estrutura produtiva, mas que também seja adequada ao financiamento da atividade pública, principalmente no âmbito de estados e municípios, os principais beneficiários da arrecadação desse conjunto de tributos.

Para assegurar a redução do spread e a expansão no volume de crédito na economia brasileira em longo prazo, aumentando a competitividade e produtividade das firmas, são necessárias intervenções que reduzam as falhas do mercado de crédito no país, por meio da melhoria das garantias e do ambiente regulatório, da diversificação das fontes de financiamento e da diminuição das incertezas jurídicas ainda presentes. Este estudo busca contribuir para o aprimoramento de políticas públicas voltadas a esse setor, a partir de duas frentes de análise. A primeira trata da questão da proteção legal e sua relação com o custo e o acesso ao crédito, manifestada nos custos com inadimplência e recuperação de ativos, que constituem o principal componente do spread bancário no Brasil. A segunda aborda em mais detalhe o papel desempenhado pelo crédito direcionado dos bancos públicos, que constitui cerca de 40% do volume total de financiamentos e, destarte, também desempenha grande influência sobre o custo e a expansão do acesso ao mercado de crédito no país (De Negri et al., 2022). Além da introdução, o capítulo inclui mais três seções. A seção 2 aborda a questão da proteção legal e sua relação com o custo e o acesso ao crédito no Brasil. A seção 3 trata da evolução do acesso ao crédito direcionado dos bancos públicos e das mudanças em seus custos, com foco no crédito para investimentos do Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (BNDES). A seção 4 apresenta propostas para aprimoramento das políticas de fomento ao mercado de crédito no país.

Solar extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) irradiance is the dominant energy source for ionizing and heating the Earth’s upper atmosphere. It is common to assume that the spectra of different EUV lines have the same trend to fill the solar EUV irradiance gap for modeling purposes due to inadequate EUV irradiance measurements. However, the spectra across the EUV bands may not vary in the same trend. The flare radiation energy release in the EUV (10–120 nm) is about twice as much as X-rays (0.1–10 nm) during flare interval ∼03–06 UT on 2012 October 23. By assimilating the observed nonuniform varying, time-dependent, and high-resolution solar spectrum from the Solar Dynamics Observatory mission into the modeling framework, we provide the first direct evidence of nonuniform varying solar EUV fluxes during the solar flare EUV late phase (ELP) having appreciable effects on the dayside ionosphere. The total EUV radiation energy release (5.838 × 1028 erg) during the flare ELP is larger than that (5.698 × 1028 erg) during the flare main phase. The ELP of an X1.8-class solar flare on 2012 October 23 can increase the dayside ionospheric density at the subsolar point by ∼5 TECU and the ionospheric density enhancements extend from the bottom to the peak of the F2 region at low latitudes with relative changes ranging from ∼20% to ∼100%. Our results highlight the importance of incorporating a realistic, high spectral and temporal resolution solar irradiance spectrum into numerical models to capture the observed time-varying ionospheric response to solar flares.

Bulbophyllum romklaoense (B. sect. Lemniscata) from northern Thailand is described and illustrated as a species new to science. It is most similar to B. muscarirubrum and B. triste, but differs by having inflorescences with only 4–6 reddish-brown flowers, falcate-subovate lateral sepals that are connate only in the upper half along the interior margins, petals with erose to fimbriate margins and a lip with long cilia in the distal half on the lower surface. A comparison with other similar species in the section, as well as notes on ecology, phenology, conservation assessment and a key to B. sect. Lemniscata in Thailand are also provided.

The first fossil limoniid fly from the Miocene Fossil-Lagerstätte of Foulden Maar in New Zealand is described on the basis of an isolated well-preserved wing. The specimen is tentatively attributed to a new species Gynoplistia fouldensensissp. nov. in the large extant genus Gynoplistia, which is well diversified in the country. It is the second fossil record of this genus, the first one being an isolated wing from the Cretaceous Weald Clay Formation in the United Kingdom.
