The diversity of tribes, ethnicities, and religions is the background for the stereotype of moderate civilization in Indonesia is getting tougher in the eyes of the world. However, At the point of religious diversity can have implications for two things. The first is the Emergence of a manifest harmonization of religion through tolerant attitudes and actions, or vice versa Emergence of a second form, namely the presence of intolerant attitudes among religious believers in a plurality of societies. Researchers seek to answer problems that arise through literature and previous research in-depth using literature review methods to identify and find sources that provide factual information or expert opinions about the phenomena that occur. Several studies have shown that radical groups seed their views massively through educational institutions, where students, college students, and teachers are targeted. It is necessary to a culture of peace application through strengthening Islamic education material containing the values of Pancasila and Islam Rahmatan Li Al-Alamin or ISRA in Islamic education so that educational institutions become laboratories of religious moderation. The need for an understanding of the variety of differences of mankind in its various dimensions, both in the context of social life, society, and nationality, so the implementation of the principle of religious moderation through the participation of religious educational institutions becomes very strategic to improve the nation's identity as a home for diversity through the internalization of religious moderation values in Islamic education in Indonesia.

Published: July 2022

The purpose of this study is to create and validate a tool for measuring constructs in the context of asset misappropriation among Malaysian public sector employees. The instrument was adapted from a prior study and adjusted to meet the needs of the present study. The target audience consists of public sector employees in the Malaysian Accountant General's Department. Cluster and proportional stratified random sampling techniques were used to choose a sample of 300 participants from the sampling frame of selected Accountant's General Department personnel throughout the country. Before the confirmatory factor analysis, the instrument was subjected to content validity and exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) approach proved the presence of the perceived pressure, opportunity, rationalization, capability and arrogance constructs from the fraud pentagon theory. The CFA procedure eliminated five items because of inadequate factor loading (less than 0.6). All fitness indexes for fit categories reached the required level of model fitness. In addition, the average variance extracted (AVE) and composite reliability (CR), which represent convergent validity and construct reliability, respectively, have met the acceptable degree of model fit. The revised instrument for evaluating the perceived pressure, perceived opportunity, rationalization, capability, and arrogance constructs of the public sector in Malaysia is therefore valid and trustworthy for determining the issue of asset misappropriation among public sector employees in Malaysia.

Authors: Sayım Murat
Published: July 2022

This chapter focuses on the influence of obsessive and passionate reading(s) of child character(s) in Ian Ewan’s novel „The Cement Garden”. It scrutinizes how reading habits of the children are regarded as their self-defence mechanism against the authority of the adults, as well as it may also underline that obsessive readings may cause disillusionment and mislead the children through catastrophic events. To be able to investigate the statement, orphan siblings, who create their nuclear family with the help of their experiencing fiction they read, and far away from the adult dominant world, will be discussed. Yet their temporary solution to survive ends with inevitable obedience to the institutionalised adult world. In other words, their act of passionate reading can provide them better conditions in the short-run since the adult oppression is inescapable.
The Consequences of Environmental Degradation on Native American Reservations: An Exploration of Initiatives to Address Environmental Injustice
Authors: Stein Amy E.
Published: July 2022

Research has demonstrated the significance of the relationship that Indigenous populations have with the land. Environmental degradation on Native American reservations not only results in negative consequences for health, but also directly affects the relationship that Native American populations have with the surrounding natural environment or their sense of place. This conceptual paper explores how environmental degradation impacts tribal members residing on Native American reservations, utilizing a theoretical framework of a four-dimensional model of place attachment (Raymond et al., 2010). This place attachment model is comprised of place identity, place dependence, nature bonding, and social bonding. Using this model to understand tribal relationships with the land, or place, I interviewed the Natural Resources Director of the Penobscot Nation in a phone interview in 2016 followed by an in-person interview in 2019. During these interviews, I learned how environmental degradation directly impacted the Penobscot Nation reservation and community, which resulted in health and economic consequences for the tribe. Moreover, I also acquired an understanding of how colonization, capitalism and neoliberalism contribute to the roots of the problem of environmental degradation on Native American reservations. These interviews, concurrent with a literature review, underscore the relevance of social work macro-level community-based initiatives to assist Native American reservations. Community-based initiatives help combat the challenges of environmental degradation. These initiatives also increase awareness of why environmental degradation and its impact on marginalized populations are priorities for the National Association of Social Workers.

Authors: Abedi Neda
Published: July 2022

The present study attempted to survey the effect of technology-mediated scaffolding on the development of second language speaking components (fluency, coherence, lexical resources, grammatical range, and accuracy, and pronunciation) among Iranian intermediate EFL adult learners. To do so, 60 intermediate level female students with the age range of 18 to 25 in the EFL research center in Tehran were selected from among 90 intermediate students according to their performance in a standard version of the Preliminary English Test (PET). The selected participants were divided into two groups, namely the experimental group (EG) in which the learners received technology-mediated teaching through Telegram application, and the control group (CG), who followed the conventional teaching/learning methods of L2 speaking. The participants went through the process of pre-testing, intervention, and post-testing. Then, the data collected were analyzed, and multivariate ANOVA (MANOVA) was run to probe the null-hypotheses. The outcome of the post-test data analyses clarified that technology-mediated scaffolding had a statistically significant effect on the speaking sub-skills such as fluency, lexical resource, grammatical range and accuracy, and pronunciation of Iranian EFL learners.

Authors: Casañ Pitarch Ricardo , Candel Mora Miguel Ángel
Published: July 2022

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar la opinión de los estudiantes hacia el inglés nativo y no nativo y su percepción de la pronunciación del inglés de hablantes no nativos. Para ello, en el marco de un proyecto telecolaborativo con estudiantes de la Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), España, y del Instituto Politécnico de Kiev "Igor Sikorsky", Ucrania, los estudiantes se dividieron en un grupo experimental y otro de control. Ambos grupos completaron dos encuestas antes y después del proyecto de telecolaboración, y se midió su progreso. En la primera encuesta se preguntaba a los estudiantes sobre su percepción de otros acentos ingleses no nativos (adaptado de He & Li, 2009). En la segunda encuesta, los estudiantes evaluaron el acento de otros estudiantes internacionales no nativos de inglés (basado en Bayard, Weatherall, Gallois & Pittam, 2001; y Zahn & Hopper, 1985). Los resultados mostraron que los estudiantes que habían estado en contacto con otros hablantes no nativos cambiaron positivamente su percepción de esa variedad de inglés. En conclusión, la telecolaboración parece ser una herramienta valiosa para desarrollar la competencia cultural y evitar los prejuicios contra los hablantes no nativos.

Authors: Koo Alexander , Almeida Bryan Aristega , Kerluku Jona , Yang Brian , Fufa Duretti
Published: July 2022

Prioritizing the education of orthopaedic surgery residents and fellows is essential for the future of the field. This review highlights strategies that educators may find useful in improving their teaching skills for the modern orthopaedic surgery learner. Educators may benefit from focusing on active, effortful, and repetitive engagement in lecture; setting clear expectations to help track progress in clinic; and breaking skills into smaller steps in context of a framework when teaching procedural skills. Providing objective assessment and growth-oriented feedback helps establish a close rapport between educator and trainee while encouraging personal development. Through a remediation process that examines deficiency in core areas and equitability of the learning environment, the trainee and the educator may engage in a fair discussion that prevents trainees from falling behind. Finally, in the era of COVID-19, e-learning and virtual simulations have become increasingly used as effective modalities for teaching clinical knowledge and procedures to trainees. The medical education landscape has been changing at a rapid pace, and by evaluating and adapting to the novel educational models of today, the modern orthopaedic surgeon ensures a learning environment that is equitable, effective, and inspiring for the orthopaedic surgeon of tomorrow.

Published: July 2022

This study investigates the causal process of victim-offender overlap across the adolescent developmental stage. This study hypothesizes that victimization causes subsequent offending; offending causes subsequent victimization; the effect of victimization on offending can be explained by delinquent peers, parental bonds, and self control; the effect of offending on victimization can also be explained by delinquent peers, parental bonds, and self control. Three-wave data from the Korean Children & Youth Panel Survey are used to test hypotheses. The results show that victim-offender overlap represents a dynamic process observed in the short-term and long-term period; the causal process of victim-offender overlap can be better explained by the effect of victimization on offending; the effect of victimization on offending can be explained by delinquent peers and self control; the effect of offending on victimization can be explained by delinquent peers; the most influential factor determining victim-offender overlap is delinquent peers.

Authors:   Korean Association of Public Safety and Criminal Justice, Jung Ha-eun , Lee Chang-Bae
Published: July 2022

Drug addiction is a global public health issue. In South Korea, the number of drug users has continued to rise with high re-incarceration rates. The harms of drugs cause drug users to be easily dependent on substances. When they stop using drugs, they will suffer withdrawal symptoms, which makes it even harder to quit using them. When drug crimes occur, the law enforcement agencies fail to recognize these symptoms or to arrest offenders due to a lack of evidence. Based on the problematic consciousness of drug addiction, this study investigated how many drug users visit hospital emergency rooms who were in easy contact with law enforcement agencies and examined the characteristics and problems of patients in order to help understanding the reality. The researchers collected records of drug users who visited emergency rooms in Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon, and divided them into illegal drug users and psychotropic drug users for the analysis purposes. Based on the findings, the study suggested a need to provide not punishment but treatment to drug addicts and proposed policy and practical implications including the mandatory reporting law by the medical workers.

Published: July 2022

protection and support for crime victims is the national responsibility, and the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Prosecutor's Office, and the National Police Agency are working together to provide thorough support. Nevertheless, improvements are pointed out in the crime victim prevention and support policy. These include overlapping functions between institutions, poor access to support services, and overlapping support. In addition, there was a recommendation from the Justice and Prosecutor's Reform Committee that required support for crime victims to be provided in a more efficient and timely manner.
With the implementation of the municipal police system in 2021, there are changes in the protection and support of crime victims at the police level. Therefore, this study discussed the role of municipal police in protecting and supporting crime victims due to the implementation of the municipal police system. The role of local governments and municipal police was strengthened, the role of municipal police in the protection and support network for crime victims was strengthened, and the necessity of reinforcement and management of police officers in charge of victims was examined from a mid- to long-term perspective.
Through this, we review the problems and considerations that may arise in the protection of crime victims by the municipal police in the future, along with policy suggestions that can provide timely protection and support for crime victims through the enforcement of the municipal police system, and that can be expected to provide sufficient recovery for crime victims.

Published: July 2022

The sample and hold circuit has the function of collecting the analog input signal at a moment and maintaining its value. This article presents a current-mode sample and hold circuit for high-speed wireless communication applications. In this circuit, a single amplifier and a negative feedback structure are combined to eliminate the clock-feed through noise by using a virtual switch, and a differential structure is used to reduce the distortion caused by channel charge injection. This architecture achieves 71.2 db SNDR (signal to noise ratio plus distortion ratio) with a sampling rate of 10 KS/S when the power supply voltage is 1 V. The design of the sample and hold circuit is verified by the post-layout simulation of the standard 0.18 um CMOS technology.

Published: July 2022

Background: The Determinants of Implementation Behavior Questionnaire (DIBQ) identifies factors that are facilitators of or barriers to professionals´ change of behavior after evidence-based training. The original English DIBQ consists of 93 items covering 18 domains. The DIBQ is built upon the Theoretical Domains Framework and the Behavioral Change Wheel. The purpose of the study is to tailor the DIBQ to the multiprofessional rehabilitation context as well as cross-culturally adapt it to the Finnish context. Methods: Cross-cultural translation followed by a two round, Delphi method involving experts in rehabilitation with diversity of professions (physicians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, nursing scientists, social scientists and health care policymakers) was conducted, 25 experts participated in Round 1, and 21 in Round 2. Participants evaluated the importance of each DIBQ item in changing professionals´ implementation behavior. Consensus to include items was defined as a mean score of ≥4 on a Likert scale (1 = Strongly Disagree, 2 = Disagree, 3 = Neither Agree nor Disagree, 4 = Agree, 5 = Strongly Agree) by ≥75% of Delphi participants. Items rated at agreement of ≤74% were either excluded or reviewed depending on qualitative judgements. The relevance of each item was indexed using content validity index (CVI). A second-round survey followed the same process. Comparison with tailored versions of Danish and Swedish (DIBQ-t) was also performed before reaching the consensus of the results.Results: The final validated multiprofessional DIBQ (DIBQ-mp) consists of 23 questions. Twenty-nine percent (n = 27) of the Round 1 questions did not reach acceptable agreement. Second-round survey was developed based on the results of the first round. In all, 4% (n=2) of the Round 2 questions did not reach acceptable agreement. Agreement was achieved on all items after Round 2 in comparison with DIBQ-t, and the Delphi process was concluded. The final DIBQ-mp has evidence of excellent content validity with 0.93 average item-level CVI.Conclusions: The study resulted in the Determinants of Implementation Behavior Questionnaire tailored to the multiprofessional rehabilitation context as well as a Finnish cross-culturally adapted version.

Published: July 2022

Background: Total hip arthroplasty is considered an efficacious procedure for relieving pain and disability, but despite that objectively measured physical activity level remains unchanged compared to pre-surgery and is still considerably lower than that of a healthy age and sex-matched population 6-12 months post-surgery. Since there is a graded relationship between physical activity level and functional performance increasing physical activity may enhance the outcome of the procedure. This study aims to investigate whether promotion and support of physical activity initiated three months after total hip arthroplasty complementary to usual rehabilitation care can increase objective measured physical activity 6 months post-surgery.Methods:The trial is designed as a pragmatic, parallel group, two arm, assessor-blinded, superiority, randomized (1:1), controlled trial with post intervention follow-up 6 and 12 months after total hip arthroplasty. Home-dwelling, independent and self-reliant patients with hip osteoarthritis are provisionally enrolled prior to surgery and re-screened about 2-3 months post-surgery to confirm eligibility. Baseline assessment is conducted 3 months post-surgery. Subsequently, patients (n=200) are randomized to either a 3-month, multimodal physical activity promotion/education intervention or control (no further attention). The intervention consists of face-to-face and telephone counseling, patient education material, pedometer, and step-counting journal. The primary outcome is objectively measured physical activity, specifically the proportion of patients that complete on average ≥8,000 steps per day 6 months post-surgery. Secondary outcomes include core outcomes (i.e. physical function, pain, and patient global assessment) and health related quality of life. Furthermore, we will explore effect of the intervention on self-efficacy and outcome expectations (i.e. tertiary outcomes). Discussion: By investigating the effectiveness of a pedometer-driven, face-to-face and telephone-assisted counselling, behavior change intervention in complementary to usual rehabilitation, we hope to deliver applicable and generalizable knowledge to support physical activity after total hip arthroplasty and potentially enhance the outcome of the procedure.Trial registration: www.clinicaltrials.gov NCT04471532 Registered on July 15, 2020.

In this study, we established a multiplexable CRISPR-Cas-gRNA system targeting 13 genomic loci in the ASF virus genome that could prevent viral replication by cutting its genome. Furthermore, we generated pig strains expressing the multiplexable CRISPR-Cas-gRNA via germline genome editing and demonstrated that the gene-edited pigs were more resistant to ASFV infection and less likely to spread the virus upon infection. As far as we know, our study presents the first living organism generated via germline editing to demonstrate resistance to viral infection via CRISPR-Cas. We anticipate our work to be helpful for both agricultural and biomedical applications, such as xenotransplantation.

Mitophagy is the selective degradation of mitochondria by autophagy. It promotes the turnover of mitochondria and prevents the accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria, which can lead to cellular degeneration. Mitophagy is known to be altered in several pathological conditions, especially in neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We have recently demonstrated an increase in autophagy flux in lymphoblasts from ALS patients bearing a mutation in SOD1. Thus, the identification of mitophagy inhibitors may be a therapeutic option to recover mitochondrial homeostasis. Here, using a phenotypic mitophagy assay, we have identified a new mitophagy inhibitor, the small molecule named IGS2.7, from the MBC library. Interestingly, the treatment with this inhibitor of the different cellular and in vivo models of ALS with mutations on SOD1 and TARDBP, restores autophagy to control levels. These results point mitophagy inhibitors, specially IGS2.7, to a new therapeutic approach for familiar ALS patients.

Background
Endocrine therapy (ET) for breast cancer treatment is associated with cognitive complaints, but their etiology is poorly understood. To address this, we developed and implemented an ambulatory assessment protocol consisting of wearable activity monitors, brief surveys of affect, context, and perceived impairments, and ultra-brief performance-based measures of cognition. We report on the burden of the new protocol.
Methods
Newly diagnosed, ER/PR+, stage 0-III, female breast cancer patients, were recruited. Ambulatory assessments were conducted on smart phones and wearable activity monitors were used to monitor sleep and physical activity. Participants were asked to complete five 7-day measurement bursts (one before starting ET and one each month for 4 consecutive months while on ET).
Results
We observed a consent rate of 36%, 27 women completed the study. Of the women that withdrew, 91% dropped prior to the midpoint of follow up. There were no significant differences in demographics, clinical breast cancer characteristics, sleep or physical activity patterns, or measures of cognition between women who completed versus withdrew. Women who did not complete the study provided fewer valid days of baseline data.
Conclusion
This novel method enables the prospective study of psychological changes associated with cancer treatment, capturing a wide array of information about behavior, experience, and cognition, thus providing a picture of the lived experiences of cancer patients before and during exposure to ET. While some women may be overwhelmed with their cancer diagnosis, we did not identify any predictive characteristics of women whom did not complete the study.
Oxidation of organic matter in deep water: evidence for mediation of microbial weathering

Carbon fixed by phytoplankton in surface water is remineralized by oxidation, where a relationship among total inorganic carbon (TIC), dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP), nitrogen (DIN) and silicic acid is largely consistent with the Redfield ratio. In deep water, however, oceanic distribution of total inorganic carbon, TIC, does not reflect the Redfield ratio, but is correlated with silicic acid concentration over a wide geographical area, for a given concentration of DIN or DIP. Examination of existing datasets reveals that the relationship ΔTIC:Δalkalinity: ΔSi conforms to 1:~1:1.2 ~ 1.6 extensively. This C-Si stoichiometric relationship is difficult to understand in terms of conventional ideas based on the dissolution of carbonate and opal, in tandem with the oxidation of organic matter. This observation necessitates a re-evaluation of the cycling of oceanic Si and C. Here we propose that silicic acid in the deep ocean derives from weathering of silicate minerals, with aqueous CO2 consumption balanced by the oxidation of organic carbon, perhaps microbially. In the deep ocean, aeolian dust – rather than fluvial input – is probably the major source of silicic acid. It is likely that the CO2 balance between “CO2 absorbing” dust weathering and “CO2 releasing” organic carbon oxidation governs CO2 exchange between the ocean and atmosphere. The C-Si stoichiometry collapses in upwelling areas of the North Pacific and Southern Oceans, resulting in the release of CO2 from those regions.

Background: Antihypertensive medication adherence plays a tremendous role in controlling blood pressure, however poor adherence to antihypertensive medication leads to complications of hypertension, wastage of health care resources and workload on health care providers which come up with poor clinical outcome.Objective: To assess antihypertensive medication adherence and its associated factors among hypertensive patients’ in North Showa Zone public hospitals’, Oromia regional state, North Ethiopia. 2021. Methods and Materials: An institutional cross-sectional study was conducted from February to March 2021 in three public hospitals of North Showa Zone. Out of four public hospitals, three hospitals were selected through simple random sampling techniques and final sample size 348 was selected systematic random sampling. Data were checked, cleaned and entered into Epi data software version 3.1 and imported to SPSS version 25 software for analysis. Descriptive analysis was done and presented in frequencies and percentages. The association between independent and dependent variables was analyzed using bivariate and multivariate analysis, and variables that show P-values of < 0.05 with 95% CI will be considered statistically significant. Result: Out of the sample size, 339 patients were participated with 97.4% response rate. Out of this, 56.9% adhere to their medication. Marital status (AOR=3.24,95%CI=1.12-9.60), residence (AOR=2.59,95%CI=1.42-4.75), Controlled BP (AOR=4.26, 95%CI=2.37-7.67), number of medication (AOR= 2.59,95%CI=1.35-4.97), comorbidity (AOR=2.24, 95%CI=1.33-4.67), knowledge (AOR=5.01,95%CI=2.69-9.35) and insurance coverage user (AOR=2.20,95%CI=1.23-3.95) were found statistically significant. Conclusion: The adherence status of this study was sub-optimal and knowledge status of patients about the disease and their treatments was the most associated factor. Give health education about disease and its treatments, management of comorbidity and adherence counseling plays a vital role in improving the adherence status of clients.
