Authors: MARDIANA Mardiana
Published: April 2023

Communication problems faced by the government are often related to bureaucratic communication procedures. So, communication activities are needed by leaders in the scope of internal and external communication. This also happened to the province of South Kalimantan, namely H. Sahbirin Noor who served as governor. The purpose of this research is to analyze Me, Mind, and Society leadership and to analyze the governor's self-concept elements in leadership activities, which refers to the symbolic interaction theory. The research approach uses qualitative methods with informants from government and community elements using interviews. The results show that Uncle Birin's self-meaning as a governor generally refers to Government Regulation No. 33 of 2018. Meanwhile, Mind is seen when Uncle Birin chooses a career as a government official for the benefit of the wider community. For the meaning of Society Uncle Birin through an attitude of empathy to be able to understand the wishes of the community. The element of Uncle Birin's self-concept is a visionary leader. Uncle Birin needs a view that fits the reality of society.``Self" is obtained by seeing oneself as an object. This view comes from the meaning of "I" and "Me". “I” is part of Uncle Birin's self to perform his duty of service to the community and “Me” as an actor who plays a role in the government and society of South Kalimantan.

Authors: NYAHUNA Thomas , DOORASAMY Mishelle
Published: April 2023

The significance of corporate social responsibility cannot be underestimated. Corporate ignorers of CSR initiatives are likely to be punished by customers leading to an impact on corporate financial performance. The present work evaluated the nexus between CSR and financial performance of 42 Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) listed mining companies. The study followed a quantitative research approach with a correlational non-experimental research design. Data were collected from 2013 to 2021. Financial performance was taken as the dependent variable proxied by return on equity, return on assets and earnings per share. The independent variable of this research consisted of CSR index based on the Boston College Carroll School of Management Center for Corporate Citizenship reports. The findings show that return on assets was positively and significantly linked to return on assets. Two financial performance measures (earnings per share and return on equity) displayed no significant relationship with CSR. It was concluded that if companies adopt the right CSR initiatives can increase financial performance. From a practical standpoint, this study contributes towards developing of CSR policies and as well function as a trigger for listed companies that they can improve financial performance from CSR.

Published: April 2023

The purpose of this study is to describe, analyze, structure and mechanism of messages as well as models of interpersonal communication carried out in hypnotherapy as a method to overcome the problems felt by clients who experience psychosomatic health disorders including stress, mental disorders, emotions and subconscious mind control so that appropriate treatment is needed. The theory used in this research is Coordinated Management of Meaning (CMM) to analyze the communication interaction between the hypnotherapist and the client. There are three concepts in CMM, namely management, coordination, and meaning. The research method used is descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach and constructivist paradigm. The results showed that the structure and mechanism of messages in hypnotherapy communication were carried out is the messages produced were carried out in an implicit way, making arguments at the beginning of handling cases the hypnotherapist puts himself in a position to accept whatever is conveyed or claimed and the persuasive message conveyed by the therapist is a one-sided message. In the process of compiling and delivering messages: the message is based on Milton Erickson's principles and philosophy, use indirect style and using Metaphors. While the Communication Model used in Ericksonian Hypnotherapy Communication consists of message design models and interpersonal models. Message design is based on three basic logics of communication message design expressive, conventional, and rhetorical. The interpersonal model consists of social exchange, role, and interactional. Model of CMM theory produces the concept of BIER (Believe, Impressif, Entertaint, Repeatation) and sense making

Öz- Nükleer Güç Santrallerinin (NGS) ilk olarak çalışmaya başlamasından bu yana Dünya’da çeşitli nükleer kazalar yaşanmıştır. Bu kazaların büyüklüklerinin ve etkilerinin karşılaştırılması, toplum sağlığını korumak tedbirler açısından bir zorunluluktur. Çünkü bu kazalardan kaynaklanan ve halkın sağlığına yönelik artan tehditler nedeniyle ortaya çıkan travmanın giderilmesi gerek kazanın olduğu ülke açısından gerekse komşu ülkeler açısından önemli bir ihtiyaçtır. Radyoaktif atom, çekirdeğinde proton ve nötron sayıları dengeli olmayan atomdur. Söz konusu bu dengesizlik atom çekirdeğinde ek bir enerji açığa çıkarır ve bu enerji ortama radyasyon olarak salınır. Nükleer enerji atom çekirdeğindeki parçalanma sonucunda oluşan enerjidir. Radyoaktif atomun parçalanması sonucu çıkan enerjinin petrol, kömür, doğal gaz gibi diğer enerji kaynaklarından daha fazla enerji üretme kapasitesine sahip olduğu bilinmektedir. Nükleer güç, elektrik üretim teknolojilerinin en gelişmiş yöntemlerinden biri olup, fosil yakıtlara bağımlı ülkeler açısından enerji ihtiyacının karşılanmasında önemli bir alternatif durumundadır. NGS’lerin yaygınlaşması ile birlikte çeşitli nükleer kazaların meydana geldiği bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmada, INES skalasına göre günümüze kadar 7 seviyesinde yaşanmış iki büyük NGS kazası hakkında yapılmış araştırma, makale ve tezler incelenerek bu her iki büyük kazanın meydana gelme nedenleri, etkileri, sonuçları karşılaştırmalı olarak değerlendirip eksikler ortaya konmuştur.

Dynamics of a stochastic epidemic model with quarantine and non-monotone incidence
Authors: Wang Tingting , Sun Shulin
Published: April 2023

In this paper, a stochastic SIQR epidemic model with non-monotone incidence is investigated. First of all, we consider the disease-free equilibrium of the deterministic model is globally asymptotically stable by using the Lyapunov method. Secondly, the existence and uniqueness of positive solution to the stochastic model is obtained. Then, the sufficient condition for extinction of the stochastic model is established. Furthermore, a unique stationary distribution to stochastic model will exist by constructing proper Lyapunov function. Finally, numerical examples are carried out to illustrate the theoretical results, with the help of numerical simulations, we can see that the higher intensities of the white noise or the bigger of the quarantine rate can accelerate the extinction of the disease. This theoretically explains the significance of quarantine strength (or isolation measures) when an epidemic erupts.
A linearly implicit energy-preserving exponential time differencing scheme for the fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation
Authors: Ma Tingting , Fu Yayun , He Yuehua , Yang Wenjie
Published: April 2023

In this paper, we present a new method to solve the fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Our approach combines the invariant energy quadratization method with the exponential time differencing method, resulting in a linearly-implicit energy-preserving scheme. To achieve this, we introduce an auxiliary variable to derive an equivalent system with a modified energy conservation law. The proposed scheme uses stabilized exponential time differencing approximations for time integration and Fourier pseudo-spectral discretization in space to obtain a linearly-implicit, fully-discrete scheme. Compared to the original energy-preserving exponential integrator scheme, our approach is more efficient as it does not require nonlinear iterations. Numerical experiments confirm the effectiveness of our scheme in conserving energy and its efficiency in long-time computations.

Published: April 2023

Business intelligence (BI) is no longer adequate to handle the day-to-day operations of any firm considering the ever-increasing volume of data and the resulting overload. As the amount of data grows, it becomes increasingly difficult to evaluate, making the introduction of a decision-making methodology that can be described as real-time BI, very taxing and cumbersome. Because of this, it is becoming increasingly difficult to implement effective decision-making at the enterprise level that was driven by BI, so that the company may remain robust and resilient to both man-made dangers and natural calamities. With today's sophisticated malware and the growing importance of the Internet of Things (IoT), we require a more sophisticated intelligence system, which we currently refer to as Artificial Intelligence (AI). We have a better chance of surviving a cyber-attack thanks to AI and its two other subsets, Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL). These technologies strengthen our organization's day-to-day operations and help us make more reliable decisions as stakeholders.

Abstract

The purpose of writing this article is to provide an understanding to the church pastor about the prohibition of drinking alcohol as viewed from Leviticus 10: 8-11. Liquor (alcoholic drink) is often a matter of debate because on the other hand there are some who think that liquor is something that can increase the excitement of appearing, but if it is examined further, many negative things arise from consuming liquor. This is triggered because liquor contains alcohol which can be intoxicating. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method by analyzing the phenomena that occur, and utilizing various literatures such as books and journals. This research shows that there is a prohibition for the Imam to drink liquor because alcohol contains alcohol which can have a negative impact. In addition, as priests who are representatives of the people in offering sacrifices, they are required to be holy so they can enter the temple and can carry out their duties responsibly. To maintain this holiness in the book of Leviticus 10: 8-11 expressly prohibits priests from drinking alcoholic beverages. . Seeing this reality, if it is related to church leaders today, namely the Shepherd, it is fitting to maintain holiness, especially when leading worship. The pastor of the church is expected to be able to avoid alcoholic beverages such as those contained in the book of Leviticus.

Numerical Solution of Second Order Fuzzy Ordinary Differential Equations using Two-Step Block Method with Third and Fourth Derivatives
Authors: Hussain Kashif , Adeyeye Oluwaseun , Ahmad Nazihah
Published: April 2023

Fuzzy differential equation models are suitable where uncertainty exists for real-world phenomena. Numerical techniques are used to provide an approximate solution to these models in the absence of an exact solution. However, existing studies that have developed numerical techniques for solving second-order fuzzy ordinary differential equations (FODEs) possess an absolute error accuracy that could be improved. Therefore, this article developed a more accurate higher derivative self-starting block scheme for the numerical solution of second-order FODEs with fuzzy initial and boundary conditions imposed. Linear block approach using Taylor series expansion is adopted for the derivation of the proposed method and the basic properties are established using the definitions of stability and consistency for block methods. According to the numerical results, when compared to the exact solution in terms of absolute error, the new method proposed in this article outperformed existing numerical methods. It is thus concluded that the proposed method is effective for solving second-order FODEs directly.

Published: April 2023

Tax control is an important support tool in the system of ensuring the financial security of the state, in particular, in the field of tax administration. The analysis of modern research and publications on the topic of topical issues of tax control, as a factor in the effectiveness of tax administration in the system of ensuring tax security, is in the constant attention of leading domestic and foreign scientists. Moreover, the modern tasks set for tax control are much larger than fixing the facts of non-compliance with tax laws, and include building such a tax administration model that minimizes the ability of the payer to violate the norms of the Tax Code of Russia. Digitization of tax control inevitably involves the introduction of information technologies into the activities of tax authorities, changes in the procedure for tax activities and interaction between participants in tax legal relations, which, of course, entails the improvement of legal regulation in the tax sphere.

It is used in cooking for its nutritional value and has known anti-inflammatory activity.This study compared the antiulcerogenic activity of Aqueous Extract of Brassica (AEB) oleracea var. capitata with Misoprostol.Materials and Method: Acute gastric ulcers were induced in albino rats by the oral administration of indomethacin. The gastroprotective potential of the AEB(250,500 and 1000 mg/kg body weight) was compared with Misoprostol (100?g/kg body weight). Results:A significant reduction in the mean number of lesions was observed in high dose AEB (0.83 +/- 0.75) compared with indomethacin (4.00 +/- 1.26). Mean number of lesions were similar in misoprostol groups (1.50 +/- 0.55) and medium dose AEB (1.77 +/- 0.41).No significant reduction in the mean number of lesions was observed in low dose AEB (3.00 +/- 0.63) compared with indomethacin (4.00 +/- 1.26). Inhibition percentage was maximum in high dose AEB (97.71%) and minimum in low dose AEB (28.08%).Conclusions: The AEB demonstrated good antiulcerogenic activities which justify the inclusion of this plant in the management of gastric disorders. Further experiments are underway to determine which anti-ulcer mechanisms involved in gastroprotection.
On the Solution of a Nonlinear Fractional-Order Glucose-Insulin System Incorporating β
-cells Compartment
Authors: Ahmad Alalyani
Published: April 2023

In this work, we are interested in studying variations in plasma glucose and insulin levels over time using a fractional-order version of a mathematical model. Applying the fractional-order Caputo derivative, we can investigate different concentration rates among insulin, glucose, and healthy β-cells. The main aim is to obtain the numerical solution of the proposed model in order to show variations in plasma glucose and insulin levels over time, by applying the generalized Euler method. The local stability analysis of the proposed (discretization) Caputo fractional-order model was discussed. To check the feasibility of our analysis, we have investigated some numerical simulations for various fractional orders by varying values of the parameters with help of Mathematica. Numerical simulations were in good agreement with the theoretical findings. Three specific numerical examples are given as applications of the main results.
Amasya Şeyhler (Şıhlar) Köyü Eski Ağaç Cami ve Süslemeleri

Cami, Göynücek ilçesine bağlı Şeyhler (Şıhlar) köyünde bulunur. Köy meydanında, çevresi açık alan içerisinde yer alır. Kitabesi olmadığı için yapım tarihi bilinmemektedir. Amasya Akyazı Köyü eski cami (1890) ile benzerliklerinden dolayı, iki caminin yakın tarihlerde yapıldığı söylenebilir. Caminin kuruluşu kırsal mimaride çok kullanılan imece usulüne dayanır. Malzemeler en yakından temin edilmiştir. Plan ve teknik özellikler de alışkanlıkların tekrarıdır. Başta ağaç olmak üzere yöresel malzeme ve teknik olanaklar ile inşa edilmiştir. Cami beden duvarları mahfile kadar yığma taş duvar, mahfilden sonra hımış tekniğindedir. Son cemaat yeri ile harimi ağaç direkler taşır. Her ne kadar köy camisi olsa da, detay işçilikleri ve ender tasarımları ile dikkat çekicidir. Son cemaat yeri, minare, harim ve tavanda usta ellerden çıkmış ince işçilikli ağaç detaylar gözer çarpar. Camiyi Türk cami mimarisi içerisinde ender kılan, harimi dört yönden çevreleyen açık kemerli mahfil katıdır. Benzeri sadece Amasya’da Akyazı Köyü Cami’sinde vardır. Camide malzeme ve teknik açıdan yöreye özgü olanaklar kullanılmış olsa da, süslemeler Anadolu’da geç dönemin yaygın özelliklerini yansıtır. Son cemaat yerindeki süs kemerleri ise, camilerde benzeri olmayan geleneksel evlerin balkon kemerlerinden transfer edilmiştir. Cami, özgün durumunu çok az değişiklik ile 1984 yılına kadar korumuştur. Bu tarihten itibaren köyde başka cami yapılınca bakımsız kalmıştır. Son yıllarda (2019-202020) caminin iç mekânındaki ağaç malzemeler vandal saldırılar sonucu tahribata uğramıştır. Bu makalenin amacı da caminin özgün durumunun ortaya konulması, eksik kısımların tamamlanmasıdır. Böylece olası bir restorasyon sürecinde caminin tarihi değerinin korunmasına yardımcı olacak bilgiler ortaya koymaktır.

The use of recovered materials in building construction is one of the most effective strategies for reducing the environmental impacts of the construction sector. Innovative technologies such as 3D construction printing can be applied in combination with recycling strategies in order to optimise their performances also from an environmental point of view. In fact, several studies have proposed the processing of waste material into printable material. At the same time, performance studies must be conducted on the building components produced by these methods. This study proposes a methodological approach to design a 3D printable building component made with recycled materials considering the improvement of thermal performances. In particular, the approach is based on three steps: reuse strategy conception; target performance definition, modelling and iterative simulation; 3D printing setting. The methodological approach has been applied to a 3D printable block using as printable material a cement-based mortar with recycled aggregates and recycled insulating material. As a result, the component’s shape (interlocking and inspired by honeycombs) can be customised to achieve the required thermal performance by using recycled materials in the printing process.
On the interoperability performance of HBIM models for structural conservation and upgrading of building aggregates in the Italian minor centres
Authors: Marra Adriana , Fabbrocino Giovanni , Trizio Ilaria
Published: April 2023

The article deals with the definition and evaluation of a workflow to demonstrate that the parametric model of a historic building with a high level of digital maturity can be configured as a tool that fosters collaboration between the various professionals involved in the recovery and rehabilitation process of historic buildings. It also represents the starting point for developing structural models for quantitative analyses. The implementation of HBIM to the building aggregate called “La Giudea” in Santo Stefano di Sessanio (AQ), an artefact that is particularly representative of the historical building heritage of the small medieval village in the Abruzzo Inner Areas, has provided a model for managing the information deriving from the knowledge process. The model delivers to the use of the state of conservation, and it represents the base for the structural analysis of the asset and the identification of the measure and interventions for its preservation. The parametric model was developed in the design of strengthening and restoration works requiring interactions between digital environments. In such a framework, an investigation aimed at evaluating the interoperability of the digital model and particularly the vertical interoperability between different software packages has been explored.

Introduction and Aim: Genetic and epigenetic factors affect chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) treatment response. This study aimed to investigate HOXA5 methylation and gene expression with Imatinib mesylate (IM) response in CML patients and assess their predictive value as response markers.
 
Materials and Methods:  Blood samples were collected from 50 CML patients (25 responders and 25 non-responders to Imatinib mesylate) and 50 healthy controls of the same age and sex. Methylation-specific quantitative PCR (MS-qPCR) was used to analyze HOXA5 methylation, and quantitative PCR was used to study gene expression (qPCR).
 
Results: This study revealed a significant higher level of HOXA5 gene demethylation and expression in CML patients compared to control (P <0.001). Non-responder CML patients had significantly higher levels of HOXA5 gene demethylation and expression than responder CML patients (P<0.001 and P<0.01 respectively). According to the optimal cut-off point determined by receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis, a significant associated risk was observed between HOXA5 demethylation and expression levels (P<0.01 and P<0.01, respectively) and the development of IM resistance in CML patients.
 
Conclusion: HOXA5 gene demethylation can be used as a biomarker to predict IM resistance in CML patients.
The Nature of May Day

This chapter describes how workers used rural and wild landscapes as well as urban green spaces to forge community and to make a working class. These laborers typically used these spaces to imagine a reformed and sometimes utopian future, thereby adding a “green” dimension to Chicago’s labor movement during the early twentieth century. Trade unionists often held demonstrations along Ogden’s Grove, a popular place used by trade unionists to organize meetings and voice out concerns regarding labor conditions. Labor leaders spoke of a reformed society, a future world which workers would have eight hours for work, eight hours for rest, and eight hours to do “what we will.” These meetings eventually became large-scale demonstrations that conducted parades along the city and is usually ended with a picnic at various parks. Unionists view the picnic as an opportunity for workers to bridge ethnic and craft divisions.
