In the progress of an organization it is necessary to have employee involvement so that the wheels of the company become more solid and stronger. For employees to be involved in work, very good supporting factors are also needed, such as ethical leadership, compensation and employee satisfaction. This study tries to examine the relationship of these variables by making satisfaction a mediating variable. This quantitative research was conducted using 170 respondents at a trading company in Jakarta using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) method. This study found that Compensation and Satisfaction have a positive effect on Work Engagement, Ethical Leadership does not have a positive effect on Work Engagement. Besides that, the indirect effect of satisfaction significantly mediates ethical leadership and compensation on Work Engagement. Suggestions for future researchers to develop this research by adding other variables that can affect work engagement.

Published: March 2023

Sausage is a meat product that is prepared by combining different meat types that are commuted and seasoned with various spices and additives which include sodium erythorbate and nitrate. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of replacing both sodium erythorbate and nitrate with three Nigerian indigenous spcies, Parkia biglobosa, Piper guineense and Monodora myristica, each of the spice constituted a treatment, while the control was a Frankfurter sausage with both sodium erythorbate and nitrate thus: T0 = FF (control) T1 = PB, T2 = PG and T3 =MM each contained 10% of the spices. The sausages samples were analyzed for physical, chemical, minerals and vitamins, microbiological and sensorial properties in a completely randomized design experiment and the significant means separated at p<0.05. Treatment 3 furnished highest yield, protein, mineral and vitamins, fiber, lowest microbial load, but highest eating properties and acceptability. It might be expressed from this study that indigenous spices are potential substitutes for sodium erythorbate and nitrate salts in sausage manufacture. From this study, it can be concluded that Monodora myristica can be used effective to replace the two salts in sausage to guarantee the quality and acceptability of the final product by consumers.

Published: March 2023

We investigated the efficacy of green tea extract on Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumonia of raw chicken meat. The experiment was conducted using complete randomized design (CRD) having six (6) treatments with three (3) replications. The germicidal activity was determined using the drop plate method. The results indicated that the addition of green tea extract (GTE) decreased microbial population in raw chicken meat. The lowest colony forming unit/ml (CFU ml-1) was found in T5 in 10-3 dilution factor (DF). There was a highly significant difference (p<0.001) in CFU ml-1of Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumonia among different treatments i.e., GTE has significant effect (p<0.001) on Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus. The maximum number of Staphylococcus aureus in raw chicken meat was 14×105 CFU ml-1in T0 using TVC, while minimum was 4×104 CFU ml-1 in T5. Similar trend was also found in Klebsiella pneumoniae. GTE also showed highly significant (p<0.001) germicidal efficacy on both of Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiell. The GTE also showed significant (p<0.01) germicidal efficacy on Staphylococcus epidermidis, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp. and E. coli. Considering the results obtained, it might be concluded that addition of 5 ml GTE reduce microbial population of raw chicken.

Published: March 2023

The aim of this study was to test the ability of image technology to predict quality and safety of chicken sausage. Chicken sausages were chosen for image capture. Traits evaluated were color indexes (L*, a*, b*), pH, drip loss, cooking loss, dry matter, moisture, crude protein, ether extract, ash, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), peroxide value (POV), free fatty acid (FFA), total coliform count (TCC), total yeast and mold count (TYMC) and total viable count (TVC). Images were analyzed using the software Matlab (R2015a). Conventional analytical technology i.e., proximate, bio-chemical and microbiological analyses were followed for reference value. Calibration and prediction model were fitted using The Unscrambler X software. Results of this work show that image technology may be a useful tool for prediction of meat quality traits in the laboratory and meat processing industries. The L* value from imaging analysis had medium correlation with a* (r=0.28), b* (r=0.29), pH (r=0.31). A medium correlation found in CP (0.29) with „a*‟ value obtained from imaging analysis. In this experiment we found lower calibration and prediction accuracy in a*, crude protein and ether extract value. From this study it may be recapitulated that image technology has a potentiality to replace analytical technology for meat laboratory and processing units.

A total number of 50 meat retailers were surveyed from Mymensingh district for collecting necessary data and information. The experiment was conducted to increase awareness among meat retailers from February-April, 2021. An amalgam of descriptive statistics, mathematical and statistical analyses was used to analyze the data. It was observed that all the meat retailers faced problems in terms of selling meat and lowering return during the period of pandemic lockdown. During Covid-19 situation the income of meat retailers became lower compared to other conditions. Statistics showed that the income of meat retailers decreased about 60% during lockdown period. Results showed that average age, education and family size of meat retailers were 38 years, 5.84, and 5.98, respectively. The price of beef before, during and after lockdown was BDT 546, 512 and 550, respectively. The price of chevon before, during and after lockdown was BDT 804.16, 675 and 800.00, respectively. Similarly, the price of broiler meat and sonali chicken meat before, during and after lockdown was BDT 114.34, 106.52, 128.47; 189.47, 198.42, and 233.15, respectively. During Covid-19 situation the income of meat retailers became much lower as compared to any other critical conditions. About 90% meat retailers faced various problems towards buying and selling of animal, lack of consumers and lack of demand for meat. The prices of all kinds of meat such as beef, goat meat, and chicken meat became lessened during pandemic. During pandemic about 92% meat retailers used face mask for keeping them safe from corona virus. Only 10% people tested for corona virus. During lock down period it was seen that about 60% maintained physical distance at the time of selling of meat. During the time of pandemic lockdown 98% meat retailers did not get any financial support from government organizations or NGOs or any other private organizations. They did not also get any kind of help to create awareness from public health Department or from local authority. Despite facing all these problems, about 100% meat retailers liked to continue their meat business.

Published: March 2023

Even though most areas, including land records, agreements between parties, legal certificates, identification cards, etc., are moving toward digital documents with digital signatures for authentication, uses only a signature written by hand. Verifying signatures is crucial because a false signature would have a significant impact on the actual owner. Therefore, it is essential to recognize genuine signatures in order to avoid such frauds. In this work, the deep learning technique is used to recognize the signature because it produces the highest accuracy and does not require excessive preprocessing. Image processing, classification, and segmentation are the most common applications for a deep learning model that is based on a convolutional neural network (CNN). The CNN algorithm learns more than KNN, SVM, and other algorithms. This work makes use of CNN to improve classification. Keywords: Signature, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN).

Published: March 2023

The design and development of a solar panel cleaning system is becoming popular nowadays. The main objective of this design is to clean the solar panel using an electrical mechanism, such that the efficiency or quality of the solar panel is not compromised. As a matter of fact, the gulf region - especially Saudi Arabia- is facing a lot of dust storms so the solar panels need to be cleaned frequently. If the task is performed manually, it will be very costly and time- consuming. A special wiping material shall be used in the conceived mechanism design to ensure the quality of cleaning. This project is about the design and development of a solar panel cleaning bot. Also, if the solar panels are made to be cleaned in a repeated cycle in an automated manner, there comes a situation where these panels will be cleaned even when there is no dust which leads to waste of power. So, this proposed system cleans the panel only when the dust is detected using image processing technique. The main advantage of this solar panel cleaning system is that it operates automatically and remotely in order to maintain high power generation efficiency. Key Words: Solar panel, cleaning system, dust detection, solar panel cleaning bot, image processing.

Authors: Guzmán A. M. , González del Solar G. A. , Roldán V. A.
Published: March 2023

Within metal constructions there are structures made up of parallel profiles called legs, connected to each other by diagonals. Some of these structures, with a triangular cross section, turn out to be the braced masts used in the communications industry, but also columns and beams used in metal structures. In the present work, the equations that allow obtaining the equations of the elastic of a spatial lattice of triangular cross section are developed, in which the legs are joined together by zig-zag diagonals. To do this, we start from an energy proposal in which the differential equations of equilibrium and the boundary conditions of the proposed problem are determined. Finally, examples are presented where results are obtained with the equations developed, and they are compared with the results obtained from the application of the expressions given in CIRSOC 303 Recommendation (1996) and from finite element models.

Authors: ÜNLÜ Nihan , ÖZGEN Arzu , AKSU CANBAY Canan
Published: March 2023

PVA with the molecular formula (C2H4O)n is a polymer prepared from polyvinyl acetates by replacing acetate groups with hydroxyl groups. It is a synthetic polymer with low surface tension, flexible and soft, water-soluble and cross-linkable thanks to the hydroxyl groups in its structure, biodegradable and non-toxic due to the carbon bonds in its chain. Bacteriocins are compounds of a protein nature that are ribosomally synthesized by bacteria and suitable for use as a filler in polymer matrices, especially in food packaging systems, and drug design because they are natural antimicrobial compounds sensitive to various enzymes and do not disrupt the physicochemical structure of foods while inhibiting pathogenic microorganisms. Considering their biochemical properties, they are generally divided into 4 different classes. The fact that Nisin and PVA have a structure that can serve a common purpose and have superior properties made us wonder about the interaction and bonding modes between these two. Molecular docking work is important because it prevents time, energy, and economic consumption and prepares the ground for the synthesis of new and advanced materials that are likely to be obtained in the laboratory environment. Therefore, in this study, Nisin bacteriocin (in Group IA) was chosen as the target, and a single monomer of the PVA polymer was chosen as the ligand, and the interaction between them was simulated by molecular docking method. A rational depiction of ligand-protein binding interactions was made.
A Wrist-Worn Thermohaptic Device for Graceful Interruption
Authors: Bolton Frank , Jalaliniya Shahram , Pederson Thomas
Published: March 2023

Thermal haptics is a potential system output modality for wearable devices that promises to function at the periphery of human attention. When adequately combined with existing attention-governing mechanisms of the human mind, it could be used for interrupting the human agent at a time when the negative influence on the ongoing activity is minimal. In this article we present our self-mitigated interruption concept (essentially a symbiosis of artificial external stimuli tuned to existing human attention management mechanisms) and perform a pilot study laying the ground for using a wrist-worn thermohaptic actuator for self-mitigating interruption. We then develope a prototype and perform an insightful pilot study. We frame our empirical thermohaptic experimental work in terms of Peripheral Interaction concepts and show how this new approach to Human-Computer Interaction relates to the Context-Aware-systems-inspired approach “Egocentric Interaction” aimed at supporting the design of envisioned Wearable Personal Assistants intended to, among other things, help human perception and cognition with the management of interruptions.

An Agent-based Approach for Simulating Transformation Processes of Socio-ecological Systems as Serious Game
Authors: Lorig Fabian , Reuter Lukas , Zolitschka Jan-Felix , Timm Ingo J. , Emmerling Christoph , Udelhoven Thomas
Published: March 2023

The transformation of socio-ecological systems (SES) has accelerated and is driven by a broad range of factors. Consequently, providing resilience in SES became more challenging, as the drivers are influenced by complex interactions between the social actors (i.e., consumers, producers, and influencers of ecosystem services) and their interactions with the ecosystem itself. As the entire society is affected by landscape changes and lasting damage of ecosystems resulting from the interplay of different drivers, a better public understanding of the transformation processes needs to be achieved. Because dynamics of SES are the result of emergent effects caused by complex local interactions of the actors, the comprehensibility is restricted and public communication is challenging. This work aims at making dynamics of SES experienceable by using an agent-based simulation approach as serious game. By modeling the actors as intelligent software agents, differentiated decision-making and individual goals can be implemented and transformation processes can be simulated.

Published: March 2023

It is undeniably true that each and every educational institution wants to offer ‘quality education’ whereas the students with special needs (SN) are often misunderstood and left behind from education in Bangladesh, like other developing countries. Focusing on this point, this study intends to investigate the learning challenges, specifically for students with special needs at the tertiary level. The area and sample of the study were purposefully selected during the period of October 2020 to July 2021. In-depth data has been collected from eight teachers and sixteen students from four public universities in Bangladesh as part of this qualitative study. Primary data was elicited from SN students and their teachers through interviews and observation. The findings reveal that the SN students face learning challenges in university despite the positive attitudes of teachers and students. The lack of learning material, an unplanned curriculum, untrained teachers, acceptance and accessibility problems, and transportation problems are the most common challenges that create barriers to quality education for special needs students. The findings may initiate policy discussion about what and how to respond to the call for quality education under SDG 4 at the tertiary level of education. It also helps UGC and GoB establish an inclusion policy in tertiary education to keep their commitment to the UNCRPD and ensure the implementation of the Persons with Disabilities Rights and Protection Act.

Authors: Mohammadnavaz Arefeh , Garkani Fariba
Published: March 2023

In this paper, the electrochemical behavior of hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) is described using carbon paste electrodes modified with polypyrrole nanotubes (PPy-NTs/CPEs) at pH value 7. Experiments revealed that the presence of HCTZ greatly impacts the electrochemical behavior of modified CPEs. The synthesized PPy-NTs were utilized as a sensing material for the electrochemical detection of HCTZ and were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and chronoamperometry. The key experiment conditions, including supporting electrolyte and electrolyte pH, were studied and optimized. Under optimized conditions, the prepared sensor displayed the linear relationships for the concentrations of HCTZ from 5.0 to 400.0 μM (R2 = 0.9984). The detection limit of the PPy-NTs/CPEs sensor was found to be 1.5 μM using the DPV method. The PPy-NTs is highly selective, stable and sensitive for the determination of HCT. Therefore, we believe the newly prepared PPy-NTs material can be useful for different electrochemical applications.

Second, teachers learn to incorporate Rain Class for participatory learning, pre-assessment, and post-assessment. Third, apply programming teaching assistant platform(PTA) after class to do difficult post-assessment. Finally, the paper reviews the use of the model to empirically analyze the effect of training on teachers. The results show that information technology promotes active learning in the BOPPPS model.
Empirical Analysis of the Dissemination Effect of Higher Vocational ideological and political discourse in the All-media Era —— Based on the Functional Grammar Theory
Authors: Shen Lou
Published: March 2023

The ideational function, interpersonal function and textual function involved in the functional grammar theory are the basis for the empirical analysis of the dissemination effect of ideological and political discourse in this paper. Through the questionnaire survey of college students’ evaluation of teaching discourse dissemination of ideological and political teachers in higher vocational colleges, it is concluded that in the All-media Era, the interpretation of discourse should be enhanced from the ideational function, the value identification of discourse should be enhanced from the interpersonal function, and the social context of discourse should be constructed from the textual function. It is of great significance to form the ideological and political discourse dissemination system based on the characteristics of vocational education in China, and promote the innovation and improvement of the discourse system with Chinese characteristics.
How Do Street-Level Bureaucrats Drive Successful Environmental Policy Implementation?——Comparative Case Studies Based on Different Policy Implementation Models
Authors: Dong Yanting
Published: March 2023

How street bureaucrats as policy implementers comply with policies to achieve policy goals and maintain grassroots stability is a hot issue of concern in the field of public policy. Based on a two-dimensional analytical framework of goal congruence and interest conformity, we explore the typological differences in policy implementation among grassroots street-level bureaucrats. Through a multi-case analysis of policy implementation in the environmental protection policy area of town A, we find that there are differences in the policy compliance behaviors of local street-level bureaucrats, specifically in the heterogeneous implementation of environmental protection inspectors, the rigid implementation of burn ban policy, the flexible implementation of natural gas policy, and the successful implementation of electricity subsidy policy. Based on the subject chain of “policy maker-policy implementer-target group”, this paper enriches the research perspective of street-level bureaucrats’ policy implementation.

The Soft Power Exertion of the Roman Empire in the Pax Romana Period: The Cases of the Iberian Peninsula and Southeast Asia
Authors: Lyu Jiahan
Published: March 2023

Introduced in the 1980s by Joseph Nye from Harvard University, the concept of soft power refers to one country’s ability to influence other nations and gain political dominance through the attraction and persuasion of cultural values, political ideologies, and government policies. As a popular research topic, the soft power exertion of many modern nations, including the US, China, and Russia, has been thoroughly examined by previous papers, but the research subjects are largely limited to modern nations. This paper first explores the means of soft power exertion of one of the most successful ancient empires, the Roman Empire, and then examines the subsequent political and economic consequences of Roman soft power in the Iberian Peninsula and Southeast Asia. The paper finds that soft power exertion can effectively enhance domestic political control of conquered regions and facilitate international trade activities with foreign countries.
