Authors: Sadik Marningsih
Published: February 2022

The objectives of this study are to probe the correlation between motivational orientations and self-control on Learners’ English achievement as evidenced by the TOEFL score, and to investigate which of the two psychological aspects is more dominantly contributive in affecting the learners’ achievement. It employed mixed-method design which combined qualitative and quantitative methods to measure the data elicited from distributed questionnaires and interviews. The researcher purposely took English Department Students as the participants who had attended TOEFL Test. Questionnaires were distributed to measure their motivation and self-control in relation to their English learning. Besides, from the 32 participants who returned the questionnaire, there were only 10 of them chosen to become the representatives in the interview session. The finding showed the correlation between both motivational orientations exhibited a great difference. Integrative motivation has a positive correlation (r=0.371) with the TOEFL score although classified as moderate while the instrumental one is negatively correlated (r= -0.240). This means that integrative motivation is relatively more contributive to English achievement. The significant value of the integrative motivation was lower than the confidence level (0.05; Sig. INT =0.037), whereas the significant level of instrumental motivation showed higher than the confidence level (Sig, INS =0.186) indicating that instrumental motivation and the learners’ achievement in English were not significantly correlated. Meanwhile, self-control has a strong correlation to the TOEFL score (r=0.532) with confidence level higher than the significant value obtained (0.02).

Published: February 2022

This research described the application of code mixing in Blackpink’s album. The study aimed to determine the types of code mixing that appeared in several songs of the album and to describe the functions of respective expressions that use code mixing. This research implemented a descriptive-qualitative method, in which documentation and content analysis were deployed for the data collection. To ensure the trustworthiness of the study, a theoretical triangulation was utilized to cross-check the collected data. In this research, various theories regarding code mixing facilitated the cross-checking, including those by Crystal, Gumperz, and Marasigan. The data analysis adopted Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, which consisted of data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion. The findings revealed 37 data that were classified into Intra Sentential Mixing mixing, 19 data into Intra Lexical Mixing, and a single datum that indicated the Change of Pronunciation. The Intra Sentential Mixing appeared as the most dominant type of all the data, code mixing features reflected various functions, including quotation, addressee specification, repetition, interjection, message qualification, personalization and objectivization, and personal expression. Based on the analysis, personalization and objectivization, addressee specification, and message qualification appeared as the top three most dominant functions of code mixing.
THE PRACTICE OF APPOINTING EU AMBASSADORS: LA LANGUE EST-ELLE IMPORTANTE
Authors: Pajtinka Erik
Published: February 2022

Abstract. The study tries to discover to what extent knowledge of the local language of a diplomat’s host country, and language skills generally, are considered while selecting candidates for EU delegation heads in the European External Action Service. With this aim, the study examines possible correlations between languages spoken by the EU delegation heads and the official languages in their respective host countries. It is concluded that a correlation often exists between the language(s), and especially mother tongues, spoken by the EU delegation heads and the official language(s) in the countries to which they are posted and, thus, a candidate’s knowledge of the host country’s official language is usually taken into account in the selection of candidates for EU delegation heads, although this criterion seems to carry different weight for candidates from various EU member countries.

EXPLORING RECIPROCITY IN PERCEPTIONS ON
TELECARE WITHIN THE INFORMAL CARER–CARE
RECEIVER DYAD
Authors: HVALIČ-TOUZERY Simona , SMOLE-OREHEK Kaja , DOLNIČAR Vesna
Published: February 2022

Abstract. Informal carers’ telecare acceptance decisions
depend on how their care recipients perceive telecare,
yet this relationship has not been researched very much.
This article draws on qualitative data gathered from
informal carers to explore reciprocity in telecare perceptions
within dyads of informal carers and care receivers.
A 4-month intervention study was conducted from
2018 to 2019 in the Central Slovenia region. A purposive
sample of 22 older adults and their informal carers
tested two telecare solutions. Thematic analysis was
conducted using Atlas.ti 8, with four themes emerging:
1. the benefits of telecare use for older adults; 2. reluctance,
rejection or negative perceptions of telecare; 3.
the potential violation of older adults’ privacy; and 4.
the importance of external and internal information
for effective telecare use. This study confirms that that
telecare perception is dyadically interdependent.

POLICING ANTI-GOVERNMENT PROTESTS
DURING THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS IN POLAND:
BETWEEN ESCALATED FORCE AND NEGOTIATED
MANAGEMENT
Authors: Rak Joanna
Published: February 2022

Abstract. This research aims to give insight into the processes of public interaction between the police and antigovernment protesters during the Coronavirus Crisis in Poland by evaluating crowd control mechanisms. It addresses the research question: where does the model of anti-government protest policing developed by the Polish Police during the Covid-19 pandemic lie on a continuum of antinomic ideal types of escalated force and negotiated management? The research is embedded in studies on protest policing and draws on an intertextual qualitative analysis of police statements and media news. It shows that the policing of protests was closer to escalated force. However, a hybrid model was involved that combined elements of coercion and negotiation. In terms of protecting the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and police tolerance for community disruption, this particular form of policing is close to escalated force. Still, the communication between the police and the assembly participants, the extent and manner of the arrests closely mirrored both models. One dimension, the extent and nature of the force used, indicated negotiated management. Keywords: protest policing, contention, contentious politics, de-democratisation, Coronavirus Crisis, Poland
AMERICAN ANTI-CHINESE RACISM DURING THE
COVID-19 CRISIS AND ITS STRATEGIC FUNCTIONS
Authors: Vrečko Ilc Blaž , Šabič Zlatko
Published: February 2022

Abstract. The Covid-19 crisis that hit the USA especially hard was accompanied by intensified anti-Chinese racism fuelled by the anti-Chinese rhetoric used by the Trump Administration. Although Trump’s political opponents blamed him for having mismanaged the pandemic response, the anti-Chinese stance was a bipartisan issue. The article aims to analyse anti-Chinese racism in its systemic and historical dimensions. It examines the nature and strategic utility of antiChinese racism for past, the Trump, and future administrations as well as for America’s elites generally. It is shown that anti-Chinese racism was substantially transformed during the pandemic and above all utilised to address the general destabilisation of the US-dominated socio-political and socio-economic order both at home and globally. China’s growing importance around the world and the potential domestic destabilisation of the US mean that the strategic utility of anti-Chinese racism may well remain important for some time to come.

The number fraction of iron-containing particles affects OH, HO2 and H2O2 budgets in the atmospheric aqueous phase
Authors: Khaled Amina , Zhang Minghui , Ervens Barbara
Published: February 2022

Abstract. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as OH, HO2 and H2O2, affect the oxidation capacity of the atmosphere and cause adverse health effects of particulate matter.
The role of transition metal ions (TMIs) in impacting the ROS concentrations and conversions in the atmospheric aqueous phase has been recognized for a long time.
Model studies usually assume that the total TMI mass as measured in bulk aerosol or cloud water samples is distributed equally across all particles or droplets.
This assumption is contrary to single-particle measurements that have shown that only a small number fraction of particles contain iron and other TMIs (FN,Fe<100 %), which implies that also not all cloud droplets contain TMIs.
In the current study, we apply a box model with an explicit multiphase chemical mechanism to simulate ROS formation and cycling in aqueous aerosol particles and cloud droplets.
Model simulations are performed for the range of 1 % ≤ FN,Fe ≤ 100 % for constant pH values of 3, 4.5 and 6 and constant total iron mass concentration (10 or 50 ng per cubic meter of air). Model results are compared for two sets of simulations with FN,Fe<100 % (FeN<100) and 100 % (FeBulk). We find the largest differences between model results in OH and HO2 / O2- concentrations at pH = 6. Under these conditions, HO2 is subsaturated in the aqueous phase because of its high effective Henry's law constant and the fast chemical loss reactions of the O2- radical anion.
As the main reduction process of Fe(III) is its reaction with HO2 / O2-, we show that the HO2 subsaturation leads to Fe(II) / Fe(total) ratios for FN,Fe<100 % that are lower by a factor of ≤ 2 as compared to bulk model approaches.
This trend is largely independent of the total iron concentration, as both chemical source and sink rates of HO2 / O2- scale with the iron concentration.
We compare model-derived reactive uptake parameters γOH and γHO2 for the full range of FN,Fe. While γOH is not affected by the iron distribution, the calculated γHO2 values range from 0.0004 to 0.03 for FN,Fe = 1 % and 100 %, respectively.
Implications of these findings are discussed for the application of lab-derived γHO2 in models to present reactive HO2 uptake on aerosols.
We conclude that the iron distribution (FN,Fe) should be taken into account to estimate the ROS concentrations and oxidation potential of particulate matter that might be overestimated by bulk sampling and model approaches.
Our study suggests that the number concentration of iron-containing particles FN,Fe may be more important than the total iron mass concentration in determining ROS budgets and uptake rates in cloud and aerosol water.
Local oceanic CO2 outgassing triggered by terrestrial carbon fluxes during deglacial flooding
Authors: Extier Thomas , Six Katharina D. , Liu Bo , Paulsen Hanna , Ilyina Tatiana
Published: February 2022

Abstract. Exchange of carbon between the ocean and the atmosphere is a key process
that influences past climates via glacial–interglacial variations of the
CO2 concentration. The melting of ice sheets during deglaciations
induces a sea level rise which leads to the flooding of coastal land areas,
resulting in the transfer of terrestrial organic matter to the ocean.
However, the consequences of such fluxes on the ocean biogeochemical cycle
and on the uptake and release of CO2 are poorly constrained. Moreover, this
potentially important exchange of carbon at the land–sea interface is not
represented in most Earth system models. We present here the implementation
of terrestrial organic matter fluxes into the ocean at the transiently
changing land–sea interface in the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology
Earth System Model (MPI-ESM) and investigate their effect on the
biogeochemistry during the last deglaciation. Our results show that during
the deglaciation, most of the terrestrial organic matter inputs to the ocean
occurs during Meltwater Pulse 1a (between 15–14 ka) which leads to the
transfer of 21.2 Gt C of terrestrial carbon (mostly originating from wood and
humus) to the ocean. Although this additional organic matter input is
relatively small in comparison to the global ocean inventory (0.06 %) and
thus does not have an impact on the global CO2 flux, the terrestrial
organic matter fluxes initiate oceanic outgassing in regional hotspots like
in Indonesia for a few hundred years. Finally, sensitivity experiments
highlight that terrestrial organic matter fluxes are the drivers of oceanic
outgassing in flooded coastal regions during Meltwater Pulse 1a.
Furthermore, the magnitude of outgassing is rather insensitive to higher
carbon-to-nutrient ratios of the terrestrial organic matter. Our results
provide a first estimate of the importance of terrestrial organic matter
fluxes in a transient deglaciation simulation. Moreover, our model
development is an important step towards a fully coupled carbon cycle in an
Earth system model applicable to simulations at glacial–interglacial
cycles.

Published: February 2022

Abstract. Continuous, semi-long-term, ground-based in situ cloud
measurements were conducted during eight Pallas Cloud Experiments (PaCEs)
held in autumn between 2004 and 2019. Those campaigns were carried out in
the Finnish sub-Arctic region at the Sammaltunturi station
(67∘58′24′′ N,
24∘06′58′′ E;
560 m a.m.s.l.), the part of the Pallas Atmosphere–Ecosystem Supersite and Global
Atmosphere Watch (GAW) program. Two cloud spectrometer ground setups and a
weather station were installed on the roof of the station to measure in situ
cloud properties and several meteorological variables. Thus, the obtained
data sets include the size distribution of cloud droplets as a measured cloud
parameter along with the air temperature, dew point temperature, humidity,
pressure, horizontal wind speed and direction, (global solar) sun radiation,
and visibility at the station. Additionally, the number concentration,
effective diameter, median volume diameter, and liquid water content from
each instrument were derived. The presented data sets provide a insight into
microphysics of low-level clouds in sub-Arctic conditions over a wide range
of temperatures (−25.8 to 8.8 ∘C). The data are available in the Finnish Meteorological
Institute (FMI)
open data repository for each campaign and each cloud spectrometer ground
setup individually: https://doi.org/10.23728/FMI-B2SHARE.988739D21B824C709084E88ED6C6D54B

Published: February 2022

Abstract. We investigate how evaporation changes depending on the scales in the Altiplano region of the Atacama Desert. More specifically, the temporal evolution from the climatological to the sub-diurnal scales on a high-altitude saline lake ecosystem. We analyse the evaporation trends over 70 years (1950–2020) at a high-spatial resolution. The method is based on the downscaling of 30-km hourly resolution ERA5 reanalysis data to 0.1-km spatial resolution data, using artificial neural networks to analyze the main drivers of evaporation. To this end, we use the Penman open water evaporation equation, modified to compensate for the energy balance non-closure and the ice cover formation on the lake during the night. Our estimation of the hourly climatology of evaporation shows a consistent agreement with eddy-covariance measurements and reveals that evaporation is controlled by different drivers depending on the time scale. At the sub-diurnal scale, mechanical turbulence is the primary driver of evaporation, and at this scale, it is not radiation-limited. At the seasonal scale, more than 70 % of the evaporation variability is explained by the radiative contribution term. At the same scale, and using a large-scale moisture tracking model, we identify the main sources of moisture to the Chilean Altiplano. In all cases, our regime of precipitation is controlled by large-scale weather patterns closely linked to climatological fluctuations. Moreover, seasonal evaporation influences significantly the saline lake surface spatial changes. From an interannual scale perspective, evaporation increased by 2.1 mm per year during the entire study period, according to global temperature increases. Finally, we find that yearly evaporation depends on the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), where warm and cool ENSO phases are associated with higher evaporation and precipitation rates, respectively. Our results show that warm ENSO phases increase evaporation rates by 15 %, whereas cold phases decrease it by 2 %.
Reactive transport modeling for supporting climate resilience at groundwater contamination sites

Published: February 2022

Abstract. Climate resilience is an emerging issue at contaminated sites and hazardous
waste sites, since projected climate shifts (e.g., increased/decreased
precipitation) and extreme events (e.g., flooding, drought) could affect
ongoing remediation or closure strategies. In this study, we develop a
reactive transport model (Amanzi) for radionuclides (uranium, tritium, and
others) and evaluate how different scenarios under climate change will
influence the contaminant plume conditions and groundwater well
concentrations. We demonstrate our approach using a two-dimensional (2D) reactive transport model for the Savannah River Site F-Area, including mineral reaction and sorption processes. Different recharge scenarios are considered
by perturbing the infiltration rate from the base case as well as considering cap-failure and climate projection scenarios. We also evaluate the uranium and nitrate concentration ratios between scenarios and the base
case to isolate the sorption effects with changing recharge rates. The
modeling results indicate that the competing effects of dilution and
remobilization significantly influence pH, thus changing the sorption of
uranium. At the maximum concentration on the breakthrough curve, higher
aqueous uranium concentration implies that sorption is reduced with lower pH
due to remobilization. To better evaluate the climate change impacts in the
future, we develop the workflow to include the downscaled CMIP5 (Coupled
Model Intercomparison Project) climate projection data in the reactive
transport model and evaluate how residual contamination evolves through 2100 under four climate Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP)
scenarios. The integration of climate modeling data and hydrogeochemistry models enables us to quantify the climate change impacts, assess which
impacts need to be planned for, and therefore assist climate resiliency
efforts and help guide site management.

Abstract. Three-dimensional thermography describes the fusion of geometry- and temperature-related sensor data. In the resulting 3D thermogram, thermal and spatial information of the measured object is available in one single model. Besides the simplified visualization of measurement results, the question arises how the additional data can be used to get further information. In this work, the Supplement information is used to calculate the surface heat dissipation caused by thermal radiation and natural convection. For this purpose, a 3D thermography system is presented, the calculation of the heat dissipation is described, and the first results for simply shaped measurement objects are presented.
A comparative flood damage and risk impact assessment of land use changes
Authors: Gabriels Karen , Willems Patrick , Van Orshoven Jos
Published: February 2022

Abstract. Sustainable flood risk management encompasses the
implementation of nature-based solutions to mitigate flood risk. These
measures include the establishment of land use types with a high (e.g., forest patches) or low (e.g., sealed surfaces) water retention and
infiltration capacity at strategic locations in the catchment. This paper
presents an approach for assessing the relative impact of such land use
changes on economic flood damages and associated risk. This spatially
explicit approach integrates a reference situation, a flood damage model, and
a rainfall-runoff model considering runoff re-infiltration and propagation
to determine relative flood risk mitigation or increment related to the
implementation of land use change scenarios. The applicability of the
framework is illustrated for a 4800 ha undulating catchment in the region of
Flanders, Belgium, by assessing the afforestation of 187.5 ha (3.9 %), located
mainly in the valleys, and sealing of 187.5 ha, situated mainly at higher
elevations. These scenarios result in a risk reduction of 57 % (EUR 100 000) for the afforestation scenario and a risk increment of <1 %
(EUR ∼ 500) for the sealing scenario.
Reconstructing 3D subsurface salt flow
Authors: Back Stefan , Amberg Sebastian , Sachse Victoria , Littke Ralf
Published: February 2022

Abstract. Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force exerted on a solid immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the solid displaces. In this 3D salt-reconstruction study we treat Zechstein evaporites in the subsurface of the Netherlands, Central Europe, as a pseudo-fluid with a density of 2.2 g/cm3, overlain by a lighter and solid overburden. 3D sequential removal (backstripping) of a differential sediment load above the Zechstein evaporites is used to incrementally restore the top Zechstein surface. Assumption of a constant subsurface evaporite volume enables the stepwise reconstruction of base Zechstein and the approximation of 3D salt-thickness change and lateral salt re-distribution over time. The salt restoration presented is sensitive to any overburden thickness change irrespective if caused by tectonics, basin tilt or sedimentary process. Sequential analysis of lateral subsurface salt loss and gain through time based on Zechstein isopach difference maps provides new basin-scale insights into 3D subsurface salt flow and redistribution, supra-salt depocentre development, the rise and fall of salt structures, and external forces' impact on subsurface salt movement. The 3D reconstruction procedure described can serve as a template for analyzing other salt basins worldwide and provides a stepping stone to physically sound fluid-dynamic models of salt tectonic provinces.

En 1964, en una entrevista televisiva a Günter Gaus, Hannah Arendt explicaba que la teoría política era un género del pensamiento en sí mismo: ni una filosofía política, ni una ciencia social empírica. Así, se abría un campo de estudios al mismo tiempo que se desdibujaba su especificidad metodológica. Métodos de teoría política: un manual (2020) se hace cargo de esa vacancia y nos presenta un vasto inventario de posibles metodologías a aplicar en el área de teoría política. A lo largo de sus capítulos recorre no una sino ocho estrategias posibles: historia de las ideas, historia intelectual, historia conceptual, hermenéutica, comprensión del acontecimiento, deconstrucción, arqueología/genealogía y teoría crítica. Ahora bien, lo interesante de esta propuesta es que, además de saldar una deuda para con la disciplina, evita cualquier carácter prescriptivo: si lo político se trata justamente de algo inclausurable, plural, no es posible hablar de un método correcto o auténtico. Así, nos encontramos con posibles herramientas, que a su vez pueden ser combinadas entre sí.
Epistemología de la Democracia

Este trabajo investiga las capacidades epistémicas de las instituciones democráticas a través de una evaluación de tres modelos epistémicos de democracia: el Teorema del Jurado de Condorcet, el Teorema ‘Diversidad supera Habilidad’ y el modelo experimentalista de Dewey. El modelo de Dewey es superior a los demás en su capacidad de modelar las funciones epistémicas de tres características constitutivas de la democracia: la diversidad epistémica de los participantes, la interacción de la votación con el debate y los mecanismos de retroalimentación como las elecciones periódicas y las protestas. Considera que la democracia es una institución para reunir información ampliamente distribuida sobre problemas y políticas de interés público mediante la participación de conocedores epistémicamente diversos. Las normas democráticas de libre discurso, disenso, retroalimentación y rendición de cuentas funcionan para garantizar el aprendizaje colectivo y con base experimental a partir de las diversas experiencias de los diferentes conocedores. Ilustro estos puntos con un estudio de caso de grupos forestales comunitarios en el Asia meridional, cuyas capacidades epistémicas se han visto perjudicadas por la supresión de la participación de las mujeres.

Published: February 2022

In recent years, in connection with the rise of prices for resources the aggravation of the competition, the concept of enterprise performance management has begun to be actively used. The process of financial diagnostics and assessment of the security level in economic entities' activities is one of the most debatable in the scientific community. This research aimed to study the entrepreneurial development in the milk production sphere in Kazakhstan and to find the most effective tools for ensuring the financial security of enterprises. The databases of the Bureau of national statistics of the Agency for strategic planning and reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Eurasian Economic Commission were used as the study materials. The main methods were the resource and functional approach, integrated, and financial risk. Within the framework of this study, the dairy industry of Kazakhstan was investigated. Industrial enterprises operate in challenging economic conditions. Therefore, the managerial decisions should be directed towards strengthening the financial and property status and developing strategic potential capable of adapting to unfavourable environmental factors. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the presence of an organic link between the economic situation in the state and the profit margins requires an increase in the efficiency of using the production capabilities of the enterprise. The study's practical significance lies in using the findings and developments as recommendations for improving the economic aspects of dairy enterprises.
Analysis of qualitative and quantitative indicators of milk production and processing at the enterprises of the Akmola region
Authors: Nurtayeva Zhanara
Published: February 2022

The primary tasks are the development of the agro-industrial complex of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the provision of high-quality products to the population. The Akmola region is one of the country's most developed agricultural and industrial regions. The assessment of qualitative and quantitative indicators of milk production and processing in the Akmola region reflects the development dynamics of the dairy industry of the country and the main problems that need to be solved; therefore, research on this issue is relevant. The purpose of the study was to analyse the quantitative and qualitative indicators of milk production and processing at the enterprises of the Akmola region, review research on the development of formulations based on the raw materials of the area, and study factors affecting the quality of dairy products. The main method used in the study was the analysis of the suitability of milk of the Akmola region as a raw material for producing cheese fermented milk. It was found that, in general, the quality of milk of the Akmola region in terms of fat, protein, minerals, and lactose, the fatty-acid composition of milk fat, the content of somatic cells is good. The specificity of the region, which consists in the fact that most of the raw materials for milk processing plants are supplied by private farms, leads to the variability of microbiological indicators of milk and the content of somatic cells, which limits the use of milk in the production of certain types of cheese. It was concluded that there is a necessity in the development of new recipes, considering the characteristics of raw and powdered milk produced in the Akmola region, which will increase the range of high-quality dairy products, which will be distributed within the country and for export.

PT LDA adalah perusahaan yang bergerak dalam jasa penambangan yang merupakan perusahaan yang bergerak dalam bisnis kontraktor. Kebutuhan terbesar dalam menunjang kegiatan penambangan adalah peralatan mekanis. Penggunaan bahan bakar yang berlebihan dapat berpengaruh terhadap keuntungan perusahaan. Perbandingan antara konsumsi bahan bakar dengan produktivitas disebut fuel ratio. Apabila fuel ratio actual lebih kecil dari fuel ratio plan maka perusahaan akan mendapat keuntungan begitu juga sebaliknya. Realisasi produktivitas pada bulan Maret untuk unit articulated dump truck Volvo A35E sebesar 69,225 BCM/jam dengan konsumsi bahan bakar 26,09 liter/jam dan untuk realisasi unit articulated dump truck Volvo A40G sebesar 75,780 BCM/jam dengan konsumsi bahan bakar 25,46 liter/jam. Sedangkan realisasi produktivitas pada bulan April untuk unit articulated dump truck Volvo A35E sebesar 60,197 BCM/jam dengan konsumsi bahan bakar 26,35 liter/jam dan untuk realisasi unit articulated dump truck Volvo A40G sebesar 64,764 BCM/jam dengan konsumsi bahan bakar 25,51 liter/jam. Pada bulan Maret fuel ratio plan untuk unit articulated dump truck Volvo A35E sebesar 0,327 liter/BCM sedangkan fuel ratio actual sebesar 0,376 liter/BCM dan fuel ratio plan untuk unit articulated dump truck Volvo A40G sebesar 0,294 liter/BCM sedangkan fuel ratio actual sebesar 0,335 liter/BCM. Pada bulan April fuel ratio plan untuk unit articulated dump truck Volvo A35E sebesar 0,366 liter/BCM sedangkan fuel ratio actual sebesar 0,437 dan fuel ratio plan untuk unit articulated dump truck Volvo A40G sebesar 0,329 liter/BCM sedangkan fuel ratio actual sebesar 0,393 liter/BCM. Karena fuel ratio actual lebih besar dari fuel ratio plan menunjukan kerugian yang dialami perusahaan. Kerugian yang dikeluarkan oleh PT Langgeng Daya Agrindo pada bulan Maret untuk unit articulated dump truck Volvo A35E sebesar Rp66.246.248,25 rupiah/bulan dan untuk unit articulated dump truck Volvo A40G kerugiannya sebesar Rp62.356.633,92 rupiah/bulan sedangkan pada bulan April untuk unit articulated dump truck Volvo A35E sebesar Rp63.806.893,69 rupiah/bulan dan untuk unit articulated dump truck Volvo A40G sebesar Rp72.985.401,21 rupiah/bulan.

Background: COVID-19 is a communicable respiratory tract disease caused by a new strain of coronavirus that causes disease in humans. Its status rose to that of a pandemic leading to many fatalities all over the world. Due to its devastation, COVID-19 vaccine production was fast tracked and granted emergency use authorisation. This process has evoked worldwide fears about its safety in the mind of the public, leading to vaccine uptake hesitancy even among healthcare workers. The aim of this study was to ascertain COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among health workers in surgical departments of public tertiary healthcare facilities in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out among healthcare workers in public tertiary healthcare facilities. A total sample was aimed at administering questionnaires, and data was collated and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0. Results: Two hundred and ninety-three (97.0%) respondents were aware of COVID-19 vaccination of health workers and others in Port Harcourt, and only 161 (53.3%) claimed to have taken the vaccine. To improve COVID-19 vaccination uptake rate, 133 (44.0%) respondents suggested that the government should improve citizens’ trust in them by being transparent and using traditional and religious leaders for public enlightenment (23 = 7.6%), etc. Conclusion: There is significant COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among workers in the surgical departments of the public tertiary hospitals in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Lack of trust between the government and the citizens is a hindrance against COVID-19 vaccination.

Kripto paralar artan dijitalleşme ve merkeziyetsiz finans düşüncesinin bir ürünü olarak ortaya çıkmış ve yeni projelerle birlikte büyümeye devam etmektedir. Kripto paralar, alım veya satım gibi her türlü işlemlerde kullanılmasının yanı sıra değişim aracı ve yatırım aracı olarak da kullanılabilmektedir. Ayrıca madencilik yoluyla söz konusu para birimi üretimi yapılabilmektedir. Kripto para denilince ilk olarak ortaya çıkan ve tüm kripto paraların öncüsü olarak kabul edilen Bitcoin, piyasa hacmi açısından da en yüksek kripto paradır. Bu bağlamda çalışmamızın amacı, piyasanın öncül parası olan Bitcoin ve kısaca “Altcoin” diye ifade ettiğimiz diğer kripto paralar arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. İlişkiyi incelemek için zaman serisi analiz yöntemi kullanılarak 01.01.2018-31.12.2020 dönemi günlük veriler Trandingview ve Coinmarketcup aracılığıyla toplanmış ve Johansen eşbütünleşme testi, Vektör Hata Düzeltme Modeli (VECM) ve Granger nedensellik testi yapılmıştır. Johansen eşbütünleşme sonucuna göre ele alınan dönemlerde kullanılan değişkenler arasında uzun dönemli bir ilişki bulunmaktadır. Granger nedensellik sonucuna göre ise Cardona'dan Bitcoin'e, Bitcoin'den Etheryum'a ve Cardano'dan Binance Coin' doğru tek yönlü nedensellik tespit edilmiştir.

Covid-19 pandemisi ile birlikte insanların günlük rutinleri değişikliğe uğramıştır. Pandemi döneminde dijitalleşmenin giderek yaygınlaşması ise dijital oyun sektörünün daha da önemli hale gelmesine yol açmıştır. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı üniversite öğrencilerinin pandemi dönemi dijital oyun oynama düzeylerinin araştırılmasıdır. Araştırma Türkiye’de tam kapanmanın yaşandığı bir zaman aralığı olan 1 Mayıs – 15 Mayıs tarihleri arasında çevrim içi olarak yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemi anket formunu dolduran 417 kişiden oluşmuştur. Araştırmanın bulgularına göre kullanıcıların oyun oynamak için en çok kullandığı aracın %36,5 (n=146) ile akıllı telefon olduğu ve her gün bir defa bile olsa oyun oynayan kullanıcıların ise %62 (n=248) düzeyinde olduğu görülmüştür. Ekonomik durumunu yüksek olarak değerlendiren kullanıcıların oyun oynamak için konsolları (%57,8), ekonomik durumunu düşük olarak değerlendiren kullanıcıların ise akıllı telefonları (%44,5) tercih ettiği görülmüştür. Erkek kullanıcıların en fazla aksiyon (%35,8) kadın kullanıcıların ise puzzle/bulmaca (%30,6) tarzı oyunları tercih ettiği görülmüştür. Pandemi öncesi kullanıcıların dijital oyunlarda en fazla 1-3 saat aralığında (%45) zaman harcadıkları pandemi sürecinde ise bu sürenin 4-6 saat aralığına (%45) yükseldiği görülmüştür. Pandemi öncesi kullanıcıların en çok tek oyunculu dijital oyunu modunu (%43,8) tercih ettiği pandemi süresinde ise çevrim içi oyunların daha çok tercih edildiği (%67,5) görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak kullanıcıların pandemi öncesi ve pandemi sürecinde dijital oyunlarda geçirdikleri zaman, oyun türü, oyun modları açısından farklılıklar olduğu ortaya konulmuştur. Dijital oyun alanı gerek kullanıcı açısından gerekse bir ekonomik sektör olarak her geçen gün etkisini artırmaktadır. Özellikle pandemi süreciyle birlikte dijital oyun sektörünün bir dönüşüme uğradığı düşünüldüğünde sağlık, iletişim ve diğer bilim alanlarını da kapsayacak farklı çalışmalara ihtiyaç olduğu düşünülmektedir.

A. semecarpifolia (Lauraceae) has been employed by Indian traditional healers to treat various human cancers. The cytotoxic property of A. semecarpifolia was evaluated by extracting secondary metabolites from stem bark and leaves. The stem bark methanol extract (SBME) and leaf methanol extract (LME) were subjected to HR-LCMS analysis, followed by evaluating their cytotoxic potential against MCF-7, SCC-9, HeLa, A-549 and L6 cells by MTT assay. The phytochemical screening of SBME and LME revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, steroids, saponins, phenolics and glycosides. HR-LCMS analysis of SBME and LME revealed the presence of 31 and 28 active compounds respectively. Among them Cucurbitacin A and Gambogic acid are the two compounds identified with anticancer properties. SBME showed potent cytotoxicity on MCF-7 and SCC-9 cells, whereas LME showed significant cytotoxicity only on MCF-7 cells. Vinblastine sulphate was used as a reference standard, even though Vinblastine is an efficient anticancer drug it affected the viability of normal cells. In comparison with Vinblastine, both SBME and LME showed very less toxicity on normal cells. Hence, the present study suggested that stem bark and leaves of A. semecarpifolia are the possible chemotherapeutic agents having potential cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 and SCC-9 cells.

Benign Recurrent Intrahepatic Cholestasis (BRIC) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by recurring episodes of jaundice. Two subtypes of BRIC have been well-characterized in the literature: BRIC I, caused by mutations in ATP8B1 gene, and BRIC II, triggered by mutations in ABCB11 gene. There are exceedingly rare cases of BRIC in which individuals do not have mutations in either of the associated genes, suggesting the possibility additional loci implicated in this disorder. Herein, we present a case of BRIC in a 21-year-old male who demonstrated clinical, biochemical and histological evidence of disease but lacked both of the associated mutations in ATP8B1 and ABCB11.
