Mujeres a la luz del pensamiento nacional: un viaje a través de la creación transcultural de Sofía Casanova Lutosławska
Authors: Filipowicz-Rudek Maria
Published: December 2022

La vida y obra de Sofía Casanova Lutosławska (Almeiras, A Coruña, 1861–Poznań, Polonia, 1958) no sólo coincide con el florecimiento del pensamiento acerca de la nación como comunidad, sino también con un momento especial en la historia de las dos patrias de la escritora, en las que las ideologías nacionales se vuelven dolorosas. El entusiasmo político de la intelectual hispano-polaca, el peso de las inclinaciones derechistas que se le atribuyen, no son monocromáticas, ni tampoco las críticas sobre la posición y el papel de la mujer en el mundo contemporáneo a la escritora. El artículo ofrece una contextualización e interpretación transcultural de los pasajes más interesantes dentro de la variada obra de Casanova (su prosa y su periodismo), en la que el tema de la mujer pasa a un primer plano. La tensión entre las aspiraciones de liberación nacional de Polonia en el final de las Particiones, en la que Casanova estuvo involucrada por su esposo, y los movimientos de emancipación femenina con los que tuvo contacto directo, aportó una perspectiva interesante a su pensamiento. El artículo, que busca las posibles inspiraciones de la escritura hispano-polaca y su conexión con el pensamiento acerca de la mujer en esa época, subraya el carácter autónomo de su obra, que saca energía de la condición transcultural.

Pemikiran Hukum Tuan Guru Nahdatul Wathan Tentang Kepemimpinan Perempuan dalam Islam
Authors: Muhammad Irwan Sasmita
Published: December 2022

This study explains the thoughts of Tuan Guru Nahdatul Wathan regarding women's leadership in Islam, where the female figure herself is always an interesting object to discuss. Whether or not women are allowed to become leaders is still a pro and cons among society in general, including scholars, politicians, especially from an Islamic point of view. Juridically, women's leadership is often cornered by gender perceptions that are unfavorable to women. Theologically, women's leadership is more of a dilemma because there are verses and hadiths that are understood as a form of rejection of women's leadership in Islam. Then can women become leaders in Islam and what are the patterns of thought and the relevance of Tuan Nahdatul Wathan's thoughts about women's leadership in Islam in the context of Indonesian Islam.

Deviation Analysis of Temperature Distribution in Copper Bar Heat Conduction Process Experiments Against Numerical Calculations
Authors: Muldiani Ratu Fenny , Hadiningrum Kunlestiowati , Pratama Defrianto
Published: December 2022

In the process of heat transfer by conduction, besides the quantities in the form of surface area, length or thickness of the rod, and the temperature difference between the ends of the rod and the value of the thermal conductivity, other factors also affect the rate of heat transfer to the rod, one of which is environmental factors. As long as heat flows from the high to the low temperature, the temperature decrease is not uniform at any time interval. This is a sign of the influence of the ambient temperature for each part of the material. Temperature observations were carried out experimentally in an open environment in the laboratory and then compared with the results of numerical calculations as the ideal condition for the heat conduction process. The Boltzmann transport equation for the induction process on metal rods is solved using finite differences with an explicit method to obtain the temperature distribution. The results showed differences in the temperature distribution pattern of copper rods with numerical calculations and experiments. This difference is caused by the amount of heat released into the environment. The higher the temperature at the observation point, the greater the heat released into the atmosphere.

Published: December 2022

A novel biosensor for the determination of Bisphenol-A has been developed in this study. For this purpose, a carbon paste electrode modified with poly(amidoamine)-salicylidenimine platinum(II) (PAMAM-Sal-Pt(II)) and the tyrosinase enzyme was prepared. BPA determination was based on the electrochemical reduction of an enzymatically produced quinone compound at –0.15 V. Optimum working conditions for the prepared biosensor were investigated. The linear working range and detection limit were found to be 0.01–1.0 μM and 1 nM, respectively. The optimum pH value and working temperature were defined as 7.0 and 40 ℃, respectively. The reproducibility of the biosensor is very good. It was found that phenol, nitrophenol, urea, potassium nitrate, hexane, acetonitrile, and ethyl acetate do not interfere with the BPA determination. The prepared biosensor was used for the first time in dentistry for the determination of BPA in a resin-based composite material used as a bracket adhesive in orthodontics.

Authors: Chiguvi Douglas , Musasa Tinashe
Published: December 2022

The aim of this study was to determine the nexus between brand consciousness and psychological antecedents of consumer decision-making styles of Generation Y consumers in Botswana. Brand Consciousness refers to the degree to which people use brand names to make purchase decisions. The study employed quantitative and causal research. E-questionnaire was employed to collect data from 400 generation Y consumers, of which 320 were successfully selected and tested through purposeful sampling. The study results revealed that there is a positive relationship between brand consciousness and psychological antecedents of consumer decision-making styles and also the research findings indicated that millennial consumers in Botswana identify themselves as independent decision-makers that do not rely on external influence when making their purchasing decisions. The study results also indicated that most Batswana millennials are more cognitive innovators than sensory innovators. It is recommended that retailers must be encouraged to add excitement to shopping amenities to attract and retain millennial sensory innovators. Tangible evidence on future research is also required on the actual effects of modern smart e-shopping on generational transformation from Gen X, and Y to Z.

Reimagining training and development programmes in municipalities of South Africa: A qualitative enquiry
Authors: Mvuyisi Mabungela , Mapuranga Mistin
Published: December 2022

Business organizations face more issues due to globalization and continually changing customer expectations. To overcome these challenges, businesses must invest in the training and development of their employees. Training and development are essential nowadays. Employee performance is improved via training and development. A company's personnel determine its efficacy. In this era of globalization, training is crucial for the competitive and challenging corporate environment. The nerve must contribute to raising employees' quality of life at work and expanding the business. This paper aimed to investigate the impact of training and development programs on employee performance and productivity in the selected municipality of OR Tambo District Municipality, South Africa. To conduct this study, the researchers embraced an exploratory qualitative approach. The rationale for implementing qualitative methodology emanates from the need to understand the effectiveness of training programs in the Oliver Tambo district municipality in Eastern cape province, South Africa.The administration of the Nyandeni Local municipality conceded permission. The researchers acquired the letter, which permitted them to gather information from employees from the local municipality. Ethical clearance was affirmed genuinely. Non-probability sampling was used for its convenient strength. Precisely, data was obtained using semi-structured face-to-face interviews for this study. Thirty-five participants were included in this research study. According to the results, poor training and development were seen as a cause for the poor performance of employees. Capacity building was seen as a tool to increase employee commitment. Training programs were only visible to some in the municipality and the present study recommended that the Skills office conduct roadshows so that all employees could understand the office's role in the municipality. The study further recommended that training and development be closely monitored to determine its effectiveness.
Strategic leadership for a Zimbabwean University in turbulent times: Literature analysis
Authors: Gore Sekai , Kanyangale MacDonald Isaac
Published: December 2022

The role of strategic leadership in ensuring organisational survival and success has attracted much attention among researchers worldwide. However, more research needs to be conducted on the practice of university strategic leadership in Zimbabwe, especially in times of environmental turbulence. This conceptual paper examines extant literature on strategic leadership to propose a situated strategic leadership framework for research and practice in universities in Zimbabwe. A background literature review on models and frameworks of strategic leadership was conducted in several peer-reviewed journals to identify the dimensions and significance of the higher education institutions (HEIs) in Zimbabwe. The findings show that university strategic leadership requires individual and organisational capabilities, collective sense-making processes, and inclusive envisioning of the future in turbulent times. Three competencies of leading self as a university strategic leader involve strategic thinking, building personal social capital, and ethical competence. Additionally, five organisational-level capabilities include (1) setting and pursuing direction, (2) leading to drive strategy and results, (3) agility in leading strategic change, (4) building and using human capital, (5) and promoting an entrepreneurial and resilient culture. Based on the above components, an integrative framework of strategic leadership is proposed, which hinges on a holistic and systemic balance of the needs of multiple stakeholders, collective sense-making and inclusive envisioning of the future of a university. The paper concludes that university strategic leadership in turbulent times is complex and multi-dimensional and integrates individual and organisational capabilities and processes to reshape Direction, Alignment and Commitment (DAC).
The impact of African agriculture production on bank stability through bank risk and profit
Authors: Sinamenye Jean-Petit , Zheng Changjun
Published: December 2022

The African farming sector suffers from insufficient finance. Climate changes and socio-political issues hold down the required production level while food on the continent is still inadequate, with more vulnerable people on the one side. On the other side, credit institutions need reasons and guarantees to raise their risk-taking level (financial benefits). Then, this study tries to conciliate those two sides with new shreds of evidence by demonstrating the short and long-run effects of agricultural production on bank sustainability in 40 Sub-Saharan African countries. The study used different agro-production factors (Food and Cereal production factors), bank stability proxies (Liquidity Ratio, NPLs, LLRs), and bank profitability proxies (ROA and ROE). The GMM, DFE, and FMOLS models were used for short (with the 2010-2019 dataset) and long-run analysis (with the 1970-2018 dataset). The results demonstrated that agricultural production increases bank stability and profitability but reduces bank risks. The study concludes that farming finance increases agro-production and stabilizes banks (win-win). Governments, via central banks, should encourage commercial banks to increase bank risk-taking levels to sustain their banking system, increase farming production, and improve food security.

On the Possibility of Using the Strain-Frequency Method for Measuring the Absolute Gas Pressure in Reference Vacuum Gauges
Authors: Kuvandykov R. E.
Published: December 2022

An especially important direction in metrological science is ensuring the accuracy of vacuum measurements, which is crucial for industry. In Russia, predominantly foreign vacuum gauges with a vacuum measurement range PNPI – PVPI 0.1–1000 Pa are used as reference vacuum gauges for verification and calibration of vacuum gauges. On the basis of the analysis of the characteristics of reference vacuum gauges used in Russia based on various methods for measuring gas pressure, it can be argued that the most accurate and common measurement method among reference vacuum gauges is the strain method. However, the strain method has a number of limitations associated with the need to introduce the following corrections: correction for the residual pressure in the comparative chamber, correction for the influence of temperature effects during temperature control of the primary measuring transducer.

 The purpose of this work was to study the compliance of the metrological characteristics of a vacuum gauge based on a new strain-frequency method for measuring the absolute gas pressure with the requirements for reference vacuum gauges given in state verification schemes in the field of vacuum measurements.

The main research methods were the study of the metrological characteristics of the strain-frequency vacuum gauge, taking into account the correction for the residual pressure in the comparative chamber; corrections for the influence of temperature effects during temperature control of the primary measuring transducer, as well as for the compliance of the method with the requirements of state verification schemes in the field of vacuum measurements. An assessment of the accuracy indicators of the strain-frequency method for measuring the absolute gas pressure based on the analysis of the measurement equation, taking into account the assessment of the components of the uncertainty sources, is given. The obtained results have shown the possibility of using the strain-frequency method of pressure measurement, with the exception of the correction for the residual pressure in the comparative chamber, corrections for the influence of temperature effects during temperature control of the primary measuring transducer in reference vacuum gauges that meet the requirements of state verification schemes in the field of vacuum measurements.

As a result of the study, it was found that the expanded uncertainty of the result of measuring pressure with a vacuum gauge based on the new strain-frequency method does not exceed 2 %. This makes it possible to use this method in reference vacuum gauges.

The practical significance of the developed scientific and methodological principles, and technological solutions for calculating and manufacturing the primary measuring transducer of a vacuum gauge based on a new method for measuring low absolute pressure lies in the possibility to manufacture the primary measuring transducer at Russian enterprises using domestic technologies of microsystem technology.

Pure organic substances are the first and key link in the chain of metrological traceability in organic analysis. In most cases, purity determination of the organic substance is a non-trivial task, the solution of which requires preliminary theoretical study and understanding of the capabilities of instrumental methods for developing a pertinent analytical procedure.

Within the study, an algorithm for determining the purity of a separate group of organic compounds – ortho-phthalic acid esters (phthalates) was developed based on the mass balance model and the general algorithm for characterizing substances suitable for isolation or purification by distillation. An additional classification of probable impurities (into five types A – E) depending on their qualitative and quantitative characteristics is proposed, as well as suitable analytical methods for measuring impurities and confirming the identity of the main component are identified.

The proposed algorithm was implemented on the State Primary Standard GET 208 to determine the purity of six priority phthalates: dimethyl phthalate, diethyl phthalate, di-(n-butyl) phthalate, benzyl butyl phthalate, di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, and di-(n-octyl) phthalate. Certified pure phthalates were used to create a certified reference material for the composition of a solution of orthophthalic acid esters (phthalates) in methanol (6Ftlt-VNIIM) GSO 11366–2019.

The study revealed that the adapted algorithm considers the specifics of work with the phthalates group and the features of the separation of probable impurities within the MB model, and is universal for all congeners of the group, but does not exclude the natural constraints of the mass balance method.

Spodosols have been widely used for oil palm plantations, specifically in Kalimantan, Indonesia. However, they are sub-optimal for agriculture due to a lack of water and nutrient-holding capacity and a spodic layer that limits plant root development. Therefore, proper agriculture practices are needed for oil palm to enhance its potential yield. This study aims to determine the effect of the mounding technique on the physiological performance and yield of oil palms in spodosol. The study location was well-managed, with eight blocks of oil palm plantations planted in 2008 on spodosols (Typic Haplohumod) in Central Kalimantan. The mounding technique was applied to four blocks of oil palm planted in 2015, while the remaining four were left without mounding. The parameters observed were soil moisture, transpiration, number of bunches, bunch weight, and yield. The results showed that the average moisture in the mounded soil was 4% greater than the control.  Additionally, the average daily transpiration of oil palm with the mounding was up to 2.30 mm day-1 or three times higher than the control.  The implication was that the average yield of oil palm increased from approximately 1.84 to 3.71 tons ha-1 year-1 compared to no-mounding treatments. Furthermore, the average yield was 19-66% higher than the block without the mounding application.

The purpose of this study was to determine the understanding of science teachers about the nature of science (NOS) and its instructional practices and implications for renewable energy. Surveys and interviews were conducted on science teachers and elementary, middle, and high school/vocational school students in this study. The instrument used was adapted from the NOS questionnaire instrument and interview questions Abd-El-Khalick, Bell, and Lederman, then developed and refined according to the respondents to measure NOS understanding and instructional practice. Questions added regarding teaching about renewable energy. This research is a qualitative research conducted online on science teachers in Java, Indonesia. Then the contents of the questionnaire are projected on the NoS understanding rubric which is divided into don't understand the NOS aspect yet, little understanding of the NOS aspect, and know and understand aspects of NOS. While the results of the interviews are presented in a qualitative descriptive manner. The results showed a lack of understanding of science teachers about NOS and its instructional practices. Understanding is still very lacking in the tentative aspects, observation and inference, as well as theory and law. The teaching of renewable energy that can train students' NOS which is felt urgent to be taught is also not applied by the teachers in their teaching. Various obstacles were expressed such as immature preparation, limited learning time, and lack of understanding. This resulted in poor implementation of aspects of NoS in classroom learning which had an impact on students' understanding.

Significance. One of the most actual problems in medical care organization is personnel-related problem due to insufficient number and staffing levels of medical organizations against the background of a high incidence of diseases requiring emergency medical care. Purpose of the study. To evaluate the number of ambulance crew doctors and their staffing levels in the Russian Federation. Material and methods. The study used data from the form N30 of the Federal statistical observation «Information about medical organization» for calculating indicators on the number of ambulance crew doctors, staffing and ratio of ambulance crew doctors holding a second job in the Russian Federation, federal districts and constituent entities of the Russian Federation in 2016 - 2020. Analytical, statistical, descriptive methods were used. Results. The study shows that in the Russian Federation, ambulance crew doctors have high rates of holding second job under the study period (2016-2020), their number decreased by 10.0% (from 15107 to 13602) resulting in a decline from 1.03 to 0.93 per 10,000 population and reduced staffing level (from 73.4 to 69.3%). However, in some constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the situation in terms of number and staffing levels of ambulance crew doctors is far from being unambiguous: in some constituent entities the indicators increased under the study period while in others – decreased. However, the trend towards a lower rate of ambulance crew doctors holding a second job is typical for all federal districts. Conclusion. Analysis of the number and staffing levels of ambulance crew doctors showed an unequal situation in constituent entities of the Russian Federation, with a general decrease in the average statistical indicators in the country. Scope of application. The study results can be of interest to health care organizers and practitioners.
