Multimodal Discourse Analysis of TV Series Homeland: A Case of Pakistan
Authors: Aziz Munazar , Shafiq Dr. Zubair
Published: July 2021

This study is based on Multimodal discourse analysis of the popular American political drama series Homeland. It discusses the agenda-setting role of the American television industry and its relationship with the US government. The study is based on the premise that drama can be used as a key factor for a country's propaganda and foreign policy agendas. Using a qualitative approach, we aimed to investigate the portrayal of the Pakistani government and its security and secret agencies in Homeland. Because of the series’ long duration, this research is limited to the first four seasons only. The study results revealed that the Pakistani government, army, and security agencies, especially inter-services intelligence (ISI),were negatively portrayed. Among all the three categories, the role of ISI is depicted as the most negative.

Factors of Success in Implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems
Authors: Shkurti Rezarta , Manoku Elfrida
Published: July 2021

Implementing complex and yet sound and effective accounting information systems known as enterprise resource planning systems, is an enormous project for the firms that want to streamline their information flow and increase their value. As the effects of these systems on the performance of the entities are both financial and non-financial, their success is of crucial importance. This study is an exploratory factorial analysis to identify the factors of successful implementation of ERP systems in the medium and big companies in Albania. We use in depth surveys and interviews with firms that have implemented enterprise resource planning systems and include twenty initial variables in the survey. Later these variables are combined in three factors that have the biggest impact on the success rate of ERP implementation: the overall quality and end-user satisfaction with the ERP system; the cost-benefit ratio of the ERP and the support from the ERP provider and ERP implementing consultant. This study contributes not only theoretically to the empirical literature, but also practically because it helps businesses of the region that are considering implementing ERPs in the future to pay attention to the most critical factors of success with ERPs.
Functioning of Public Internal Audit in Albania
Authors: Muceku Hysen , Bello Kreshnik
Published: July 2021

Internal audit is an important tool in helping senior management of organizations to find the right solutions in meeting the objectives. Through findings and recommendations, auditors provide assurance and advice on the management of internal control systems, risk and governance. The management of public organizations in Albania still has an incomplete conception and a low level of awareness on the role of contemporary internal audit services. This is firstly related to the quality of audit activities, where in significant cases the quality of this service is assessed to be not at the levels required by contemporary standards and practices, and secondly to the lack of recognition and misuse of these services by many administrators of public organizations. The aim of this research is to determine the state of capacity of public administration employees in the field of internal audit, in public organizations in Albania and give the right recommendations for the development of these capacities in order for the internal audit service to become a powerful tool in the hands of managers to achieve their objectives by adding value to the organization. The methodology used for the research has its own dimensions such as: specification of research subjects and sampling, tools used for research, implementation plan, ethical issues, presentation of research findings, etc. The research is based on primary and secondary data collection. The research is based on the testing of the Hypothesis, H0. The practical implications of this paper consist in the fact that: this is an in-depth study of the problems faced by the internal audit activity in public sector organizations in Albania. The conclusions and recommendations given to address these issues will add value to the management of these organizations, by helping managers reconsider their roles and responsibilities in order to strengthen the Internal Control System, and to make it a powerful tool in meeting their objectives. They also serve internal auditors to improve their practical activities. The paper is original, as so far in Albania no other studies with these dimensions have been conducted in this field, and it also has both theoretical and practical value for researchers, internal auditors and managers of the field.

The role of faecal pellets in deposition of marine muddy
sediments - examples from the Danish Tertiary
Authors: Friis Henrik
Published: July 2021

The deposition of muds may take place in various types of aggregates and pellets. In some
environments this form of sedimentation has been described as important in the formation
of the sediment, but very often the aggregated character of the sediment is completely lost
by subsequent bioturbation, compaction or diagenesis. The paper describes examples from
Danish Tertiary formations, where very early cementation by calcite or pyrite stabilized
the sediment and preserved the sandy character of the muddy sediments. One example is
an Oligocene shallow water lagoonal heterolith, where the mud laminae are actually well
sorted pellet sand. Another example is a Paleocene hemipagic shelf mud, which in early
cemented parts consist of porous pellet sand. Outside the cemented area the pelleted character is seen to disappear due to compaction. The examples demonstrate, that possible
deposition of mud in high energy environments as pellets and aggregates should be considered when depositional environments are inferred.
Paleomagnetism and cycle stratigraphy of the Triassic
Fleming Fjord and Gipsdalen Formations of East Greenland
Authors: Kent D.V. , Clemmensen L.B.
Published: July 2021

A 210 m section of Late Triassic Fleming Fjord Formation (the Malmros Klint Member and
the lowermost 80m of the overlying Carlsberg Fjord beds of the Ørsted Dal Member) in the
Tait Bjerg area of the Jameson Land Basin, East Greenland, was sampled for paleomagnetic
study and measured for cycle stratigraphie analysis. Paleomagnetic samples were also taken
from the underlying Gipsdalen Formation in the Gipsdalen area. A high stability characteristic magnetization carried by hematite was successfully isolated in 63 sampling levels in
the Fleming Fjord Formation and 9 sampling sites in the Gipsdalen Formation using progressive thermal demagnetization. The mean characteristic directions for the Herning Fjord
and the Gipsdalen Formations may be be biased by sedimentary inclination error but are
consistent with a northward drift of East Greenland of about 10° from the arid (ca. 25° N) to
semihumid (ca. 35° N) paleoclimatic belts in the Middle to Late Triassic. Seven normal and
reversed polarity intervals are clearly delineated in the Fleming Fjord Formation section. A
preferred correlation of the magnetostratigraphy to a cyclostratigraphically calibrated reference polarity sequence recently derived from drill cores in the Newark Basin of eastern
North America suggests that the sampled interval represents about a 3.5 m.y. interval of the
late Norian. The Malmros Klint Member and the overlying Carlsberg Fjord beds have composite sedimentary cycles that vary in thickness from 25 m to about 1 m and seem to match
Milankovitch orbital climatic cyclicity with periods of ~400ky, ~100ky, ~40ky, and ~20ky.
The composition and thickness ratio of the cycles suggest that the measured section of the
Malmros Klint Member and the Carlsberg Fjord beds represents lacustrine accumulation
over about 4 m.y., a duration consistent with the magnetostratigraphic correlations.
Progressive glaciotectonic deformation in Weichselian and
Palaeogene deposits at Feggeklit, northern Denmark
Authors: Pedersen Schack
Published: July 2021

Structural analysis of the glaciotectonic deformations at Feggeklit, Mors, Denmark, provide a unique record of succesive deformation phases in a progressive glaciotectonic deformation. The Feggeklit profile displays glaciotectonically folded, thrust-faulted and sheared
Palaeogene diatomite with thin volcanic ash layers, the Fur Formation, overlain by a glacigene
succession. The combination of stratigraphical and structural analysis shows that the Feggeklit
was affected by three glaciodynamic events. The first event is of Saalian age and is represented by the deposition of a till and the formation of a para-authochthonous glacitectonite
in the top of the Fur Formation deposits.
The second event is only represented by the deposition of a till, probably of Saalian age.
The third event is of Late Weichselian age. It includes: 1) deposition of proglacial glaciolacustrine and -fluvial sediments, 2) the formation of a glaciotectonic unit (the Feggeklit
deformation complex) and 3) deposition of a till resting on a tectonic uncon-formity formed
subglacially.
A detailed structural analysis of the glaciotectonic unit provides a subdivision into five
succesive deformation phases. The first four phases are related to the proglacial deformation and comprise 1) anastamosing jointing, 2) conjugate faulting, 3) buckle folding and
listric thrust faulting, and 4) large scale ramp thrusting. The final phase (5) is related to
subglacial shear deformation and loading which produced an allochthonous diatomiteglacitectonite at the sole of the overlying lodgement till.
The formation of the structural complex at Feggeklit was caused by two glaciotectonic
mechanisms: 1) a proglacial gravity spreading deformation, and 2) a subglacial cataclastic
shearing. The balanced cross-section of the fold structures related to the first deformation
mechanism indicates that the detachment of the dislocation is situated below the base of the
diatomite formation in the plastic clay at a depth of 80-100 m below the surface. Based on
the glaciodynamic analysis and considerations on the dating of regional glacigenic setting
the velocity of the advancing ice is estimated at 10 m per year. This advance created the
gravity spreading deformation reflected in the glaciotectonic structures preserved in the
Feggeklit.

Non-Invasive Diagnostic Biomarkers for Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors:   Biotechnology Kiosk, Biswas Shyamasri
Published: July 2021

The emergence of biomarkers in biologic fluids is considered an important milestone in the field of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) research. Biomarkers are widely considered critically important for the diagnosis and therapeutic intervention of the disease. It is believed that an early diagnosis of AD at a presymptomatic stage could provide the key for a successful intervention and treatment of AD. It is due to the reason that preventative and therapeutic strategies that are known to be AD stage-dependent can have a better chance of clinical success at a very early stage of the disease when critical neurons are not lost. To this end, current clinical trials are extensively being employed by taking advantage of different diagnostic biomarkers. While there has been notable progress in biomarkers for AD, the current research emphasis has been on exploring non-invasive biomarkers due to the advantages of cost-effectiveness, rapid diagnosis and significantly less medical procedural complexities that make these biomarkers potential game changer in AD diagnostics. Here, we present a bird eye view on the subject and discuss the progress made in important non-invasive biomarkers for AD.

Published: July 2021

COVID-19 has affected our life drastically. National lockdown, Social distancing, and working from home are the new normal. Many developed countries with their advanced medical facilities find it challenging to tackle the pandemic situation. The second wave of covid-19 is associated with unexpectedly higher rates of mortality relative to the first wave. The breakout of mutant strains that make the virus highly transmissible across the country has led to new challenges for scientists and researchers alike in developing vaccines and finding a cure for the disease. While several Biopharma companies and Research Centre like Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Bharat Biotech, and Sinoppharm, and Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology have come up with different vaccines, their efficacies on the mutant strains of the virus are still being documented and researched. This article deals with the current scenario, the nature of the virus, and the treatment against the viruses.

A different perspective towards urban planning based on GIS and VGI techniques
Authors: Mohammed Peshawa
Published: July 2021

Urban planning is considered one of the most critical topics in the design and development strategies of cities. There are a vast amount of urban planning rule sets that focus on dominating the geometrical perspective on other approaches when it comes to planning decisions. In this paper, a different point of view towards urban planning is suggested concentrating on the topological analysis and relation between city elements. Streets of cities are chosen to reflect this topological relation and to investigate the topological relations to the limits; six different sized cities were selected for analysis; three large cities and three relatively small ones. Results of study uncovered the hierarchical pattern underlying in street structure of cities; analyses showed that street networks in large cities have a higher degree of hierarchical level than in relatively small cities. Urban planners can get benefit from the results of analyses in this study to make better planning decisions in large or small cities. The paper provides analysis results towards achieving the optimum goals of urban planning to make cities more living and more efficient.
A NEW HYBRID FUZZY PSI-PIPRECIA-COCOSO MCDM BASED APPROACH TO SOLVING THE TRANSPORTATION COMPANY SELECTION PROBLEM
Authors: Ulutaş Alptekin , Popovic Gabrijela , Radanov Pavle , Stanujkic Dragisa , Karabasevic Darjan
Published: July 2021

Nowadays, customers are not only interested in the quality of products, but they also want to have these products in a timely manner. The managers of an organization are faced with two problems when the distribution of products is in question, namely: (1) customers are usually geographically dispersed and (2) transportation should be performed in a cost-effective way. Although managers may have a significant experience and formal knowledge, decisions connected with the selection of an appropriate transportation company may very often be biased. For the purpose of avoiding making the inadequate decisions that might harm the operation of the organization, the application of a hybrid MCDM model is proposed in this paper. The proposed model consists of three fuzzy MCDM methods, including: the PIPRECIA, the PSI, and the CoCoSo methods. The fuzzy-PIPRECIA method is used to achieve the subjective weights of criteria, whereas the fuzzy-PSI method is used to obtain the objective weights of criteria. Fuzzy-CoCoSo is utilized to rank alternative transportation companies according to their performances. The possibilities of the proposed hybrid model are tested on a real case study pointed at the selection of an appropriate company for the transportation of ready-garments to retailers in Turkey.
Planet Occurrence Rate Correlated to Stellar Dynamical History: Evidence from Kepler and Gaia
Authors: Dai Yuan-Zhe , Liu Hui-Gen , An Dong-Sheng , Zhou Ji-Lin
Published: July 2021

The dynamical history of stars influences the formation and evolution of planets significantly. To explore the influence of dynamical history on the planet formation and evolution using observations, we assume stars that experienced significantly different dynamical histories tend to have different relative velocities. Utilizing the accurate Gaia–Kepler Stellar Properties Catalog, we select single main-sequence stars and divide these stars into three groups according to their relative velocities, i.e., high-V, medium-V, and low-V stars. After considering the known biases from Kepler data and adopting prior and posterior correction to minimize the influence of stellar properties on planet occurrence rate, we find that high-V stars have a lower occurrence rate of super-Earths and sub-Neptunes (1–4 R
⊕, P < 100 days) and a higher occurrence rate of sub-Earth (0.5–1 R
⊕, P < 30 days) than low-V stars. Additionally, high-V stars have a lower occurrence rate of hot Jupiter-sized planets (4–20 R
⊕, P < 10 days) and a slightly higher occurrence rate of warm or cold Jupiter-sized planets (4–20 R
⊕, 10 < P < 400 days). After investigating multiplicity and eccentricity, we find that high-V planet hosts prefer a higher fraction of multiplanet systems and lower average eccentricity, which are consistent with the eccentricity–multiplicity dichotomy of Kepler planetary systems. All of these statistical results favor the scenario that high-V stars with large relative velocity may experience fewer gravitational events, while low-V stars may be influenced by stellar clustering significantly.

may be in the early stages of ram pressure stripping. More than half of these may be only weakly stripped, with the ratio of strippable H i (i.e., where the galactic restoring force is lower than the ram pressure in the disk) mass fraction (over total H i mass) distributed uniformly below 90%. Consequently, the H i mass is expected to decrease by only a few 0.1 dex after the currently strippable portion of H i in these systems has been stripped. A more detailed look at the subset of galaxies that are spatially resolved by WALLABY observations shows that, while it typically takes less than 200 Myr for ram pressure stripping to remove the currently strippable portion of H i, it may take more than 600 Myr to significantly change the total H i mass. Our results provide new clues to understanding the different rates of H i depletion and star formation quenching in cluster galaxies.
Tether-cutting and Overlying Magnetic Reconnections in an MHD Simulation of Prominence-cavity System
Authors: Liu Tie , Su Yingna
Published: July 2021

We investigate the magnetic reconnection in an MHD simulation of a coronal magnetic flux rope (MFR) confined by a helmet streamer, where a prominence-cavity system forms. This system includes a hot cavity surrounding a prominence with prominence horns and a central hot core above the prominence. The evolution of the system from quasi-equilibrium to eruption can be divided into four phases: quasi-static, slow-rise, fast-rise, and propagation phases. The emerged MFR initially stays quasi-static and magnetic reconnection occurs at the overlying high-Q (squashing factor) apex region, which gradually evolves into a hyperbolic flux tube (HFT). The decrease of the integrated magnetic tension force (above the location of the overlying reconnection) is due to the removal of overlying confinement by the enhanced overlying reconnection between the MFR and the overlying fields at the apex HFT, thus engines the slow rise of the MFR with a nearly constant velocity. Once the MFR reaches the regime of torus instability, another HFT immediately forms at the dip region under the MFR, followed by the explosive flare reconnection. The integrated resultant force (above the location of the flare reconnection) exponentially increases, which drives the exponential fast rise of the MFR. The system enters the propagation phase, once its apex reaches the height of about one solar radius above the photosphere. The simulation reproduces the main processes of one group of prominence eruptions especially those occurring on the quiet Sun.
Nutritional supplementation of the pharmacotherapy of prostate diseases
Authors: Bratchikov Oleg I. , Tyuzikov Igor A. , Dubonos Pavel A.
Published: July 2021

Introduction: Nutritional supplementation is an integral part of modern pharmacotherapeutic strategies for prostate diseases with different levels of evidence for specific nutrients.
Provitamin A (beta-carotene), vitamin A (retinol) and prostate diseases. Their effects have not been sufficiently studied, and the available data are conflicting to recommend them as a nutritional supplement.
Vitamin E (tocopherol) and prostate diseases. Its effects have not been sufficiently studied, and the available data are conflicting to recommend it as a nutritional supplement.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and prostate diseases. Its effects have not been sufficiently studied, and the available data are conflicted to recommend it as a nutritional supplement.
Vitamin K and prostate diseases. Its effects have not been sufficiently studied, and the available data are conflicted to recommend it as a nutritional supplement.
Vitamin D and prostate diseases. The evidence base of the vitamin Dprostatotropic effects has been accumulated, which allows us to consider its deficiency replacement as an effective nutritional supplement in prostate diseases.
Omega-3 PUFAs and prostate diseases. They have universal physiological effects; however, the evidence base for their recommendation as a nutritional supplement for prostate diseases is still insufficient.
Zinc and prostate diseases. Positive effects of zinc on the prostate gland are known for a fact and allow us to recommend it as a nutritional supplement for prostate diseases.
Selenium and prostate diseases. The reliably proven positive effects of selenium on the prostate gland allow us to recommend it as a nutritional supplement for prostate diseases.
Magnesium and prostate diseases. Its effects have not been sufficiently studied, and the available data are conflicting to recommend it as a nutritional supplement.
Coordinating Clinical Rotations During the Novel Corona Virus 2 Pandemic
Authors: Callender Lynelle Fifianne , LuValle Johnson Arlene , Clark Jennifer Nicole , Terrero de la Osa Ada
Published: July 2021

Background:

The outbreak of COVID-19 cases and deaths caused havoc in the medical, social, and education arenas, turning the normal routine into a new normal. Health care facilities across the state of Florida closed clinical training sites. Nursing students who were in scheduled clinical rotations suddenly were removed from assigned clinical sites. When students were no longer able to attend their clinical rotations due to COVID-19, panic ensued for students and educators.

Method:

After clinical rotations came to a halt due to COVID-19, family nurse practitioner faculty promptly began discussions on clinical placement resolutions including creative and innovative strategies to provide clinical alternatives to face-to-face clinical hours.

Results:

Graduation has been delayed for 69% of the students due to COVID-19 and the inability to complete the required number of direct face-to-face clinical hours.

Conclusion:

Innovation, dedication, and perseverance allowed faculty to sustain student engagement and retention through quality clinical alternatives.

On the Record: An Innovative Simulation Teaching Resource to Teach Undergraduate Nurses How to Write Legally Defensible Patient Documents
Authors: Andrews Amanda , Aubyn Bernie St.
Published: July 2021

Background:

Good patient documentation writing skills are an essential component of a nurse's portfolio to satisfy the professional and legal requirements of record keeping. Traditionally, however, documentation is viewed as a dry topic as it is not always applied well to practical situations; therefore, this topic readily lends itself to being delivered in an innovative and engaging way. This pilot study used a low fidelity simulated “courtroom” session to teach this essential nursing skill to undergraduate nurses.

Method:

The pilot study took place with three cohorts of undergraduate nurses (
n
= 200) from all four fields of nursing in the second year of a 3-year Bachelor of Science nursing program.

Results:

These results were captured in a variety of ways and evaluated using Kirkpatrick and Kirkpatrick's four-level evaluation model. The results indicated that the simulation engaged and focused students in an interactive way.

Conclusion:

The pilot study results indicated that a move away from traditional didactic teaching to a more customized method of learning accommodates the documented trends of learning styles across different generations. This pilot study has led to a university-wide study involving students and staff from three different faculties.

L’enseignement des pratiques polyphoniques vocales de jazz et de musiques actuelles
Authors: Fardet Eric
Published: July 2021

En France, l’enseignement de la musique relève des ministères de la Culture (conservatoires) et de l’Education nationale (écoles, établissements secondaires et supérieurs). La promulgation des lois de décentralisation, la réorganisation de l’enseignement supérieur artistique et le développement des pratiques amateurs ont été l’occasion de développer les synergies entre différents protagonistes : associations, collectivités territoriales et Etat. Si les pratiques vocales polyphoniques profitent une situation particulière dans l’éducation musicale, quelle place est aujourd’hui accordée à la filière voix musique actuelle/chant choral jazz, au sein de l’éducation et de l’enseignement artistiques ?
Active and Reactive Power Droop Controller Design for Reliable and Optimal Control of Renewable-Based Micro-Grid
Authors: Gbadega Peter Anuoluwapo , Balogun Olufunke Abolaji
Published: July 2021

Technical concerns about micro-grid dynamics, particularly in autonomous (island) mode necessitate revision of current paradigms in control of energy systems. Advanced control techniques are imperative segments for micro-grid realization. In general, micro-grids and the integration of distributed energy resources (DER) units introduce a number of operational challenges that required to be addressed in the control design and protection systems such that the reliability and stability levels are not affected significantly and subsequently ensured that the distributed generations (DGs) potential benefits are wholly harnessed. In this paper, the micro-grid coordination strategy was investigated by simply analysing the present micro-grid situation and various control strategies. More so, active-reactive power (P/Q) and droop controller based on proportional-integral (PI) and model predictive control (MPC) were designed to control the inverter output of the micro-sources. A micro-grid model, which has two photovoltaic (PV) and one wind turbine (WT) blocks, were built in MATLAB/Simulink to simulate the following three cases in this study. The three cases are as follows, the switching of operation mode between the grid connected and islanded mode, increasing and decreasing of loads in islanded mode and the disconnection of one PV system at a certain time in islanded mode. Therefore, through the simulation analyses, the MPC controller utilized in this micro-grid as compared to the PI controller, achieved desirable efficiency of the inverter’s power control and shared the load power effectively.
