Twriyah in a speech or word contains multiple meanings having different interpretations of its primary meaning. This article represents the linguistic and connotative concept of Twriyah and T’ryd in the light of Qur’an, hadith, Sirat, the views of various jurists. By analytical study of the available literature it is concluded that there is difference between using Twriyah and Falsification. There are several rules which regulate the use of Twriyah in special circumstances. All Messengers of Allah have never give false statements in any case, however they often used Twriyah in their statements. This article elaborated the various meanings and situations of Twryh in the light of Islamic teachings.

Published: October 2022

Fasl and Wasl are the burning topics of ‘ilm ul-Bayan (Arabic Rhetoric) alongside it is very initial element which brings structure, beautification, embellishment and improvement. Many Arab scholars, in particular, Arab pioneer Rhetoricians had discussed and still have been discussing as well as discoursing Fasl and Wasl related matters. They put their all attention deeply to both of them in the discoursing of Qur’an structure. The utmost susceptible scholar Abu Bakr Abd al-Qahir bin ‘Abd arRahman bin Muhammad al-Jurjanī, the figurative personality, who first time in the history had discussed Fasl and Wasl based structures in his two prolific books; Asrar al-Balaghah (The Secrets of Elucidation) and Dala'il al-I’jaz (Intimations of Inimitability) theoretically and practically. Later on it was developed by Abu alQasim Mahmud bin ‘Umar al-Zamakhshari as he applied both theories to his commentary on Holy Qur’an known as “Al-Kashshaaf (the Revealer)”. The following research attempts all fruitful efforts spent by scholars having different ethics. It brings arguments towards where it is required, bringing out a short comparison between contemporary and classical Fasl and Wasl based perceptions resulting in what the scholar thinks in person.
The differences of Semantics of Common Words between Arabic and Urdu and its Impact on the teaching of the Arabic language
Authors: Ahmed Zahir
Published: October 2022

Arabic language is a family member of Semitic languages whereas Urdu is the member of Indo-European Languages. The Arabic language though is not from the same language family but amazingly it provides much of its share through alphabets, words with its meanings and pronunciation. These features of both languages have provoked to study it under the contrastive linguistics through semantic study of commonly used words. This research is a semantic study of commonly used words in both languages of different language family along with the applied linguistics in Language teaching. There are large numbers of Arabic words that are used in Urdu language and there are significant numbers of words that are used in different meanings, this change in meaning led to change in semantic field. This research paper also study the effect of semantic change of these words on Arabic Language teaching to the Pakistani students whose native language is Urdu. This study will also reveal the reasons of errors during language learning with the help of semantic study if commonly used words.
Muslim-Christian Dialogue from Pakistani Perspective: Evaluation of the Contribution of Christian Study Center
Authors: Saeed Riaz Ahmad
Published: October 2022

The twentieth century is considered as the most notable era for interfaith dialogue and other interreligious activities among the followers of different faiths across the globe. A number of interfaith activities were launched to bring closer, especially, the adherents of the Abrahamic faiths: Jews, Christians and Muslims. Many Christian institutes and organizations are actively involved in such activities. We cannot ignore the role of Christian Study Centers situated across the globe, which are rendering considerable services in the field of interfaith dialogue. One of them is the Christian Study Center Rawalpindi (CSC), Pakistan, which is the focal subject of this research paper. The CSC has a long journey in the course of interfaith dialogue and harmony, as it was its objective since its commencement. The CSC was established in 1967 as an extension of HMI (Henry Martyn Institute, Hyderabad India) to promote interfaith dialogue, harmony and good relationship among the followers of different faiths in Pakistan. It is conceded; the Christian Study Center Rawalpindi has provided great services and contributed a lot to interfaith dialogue, harmony and peace in Pakistan. In this study the efforts were made to evaluate the 50 years dialogical activities of the Christian Study Center (CSC), Rawalpindi.

Authors:   Kamianets-Podolskyi Ivan Ohiienko National University, Pryadko Olena
Published: October 2022

Тhe article illustrates issues of perspective Music-learning theory teachers’ professional education and analyzes issues of the emotional self-regulation development during their professional vocal education, investigates the specifics of student’s adaptation to the emotional conditions of the public performance. Development of the individual’s cognitive potential is closely related with its emotional aspect development. The sensual cognition underlies the mental cognition of reality. Emotions play considerable role in the educational motivation formation: it serves as an incentive and activating function which is becoming the stimulus for energy action. Development of emotional self-regulation is the important aspect in the professional education of perspective Music-learning theory teacher. However emotions often can prevent successful musical education and upbringing processes ongoing. Excessive excitement, anxiety do not allow to develop on full the potential of music-learning theory specialty students and prevents the successful presenting of their own creative activity product. Excessive emotional excitement can cause the impulsiveness of behavior, losing focus on what is going on, the contravention of analysis, learning of academic information and the process of perception thrust. Emotional self-regulation skills formation must be an important component in the professional education of perspective music-learning theory pedagogue. Among the structure of the musical-theory learning theory student’s self-regulation are the following four components: self-esteem, self-control, self-correction, self-encourage. Methodical demonstration of personal musical performing skills on public as a must for students of music-theory learning specialties during the process of their professional education contributes to forming of the emotional self-regulation skills and keeping of self-control in stressful conditions during the public performance. The newfound skills of emotional self-regulation which were achieved during the concert performance practice, presentations to the Examination Board, perspective pedagogue can successfully transmit to the situations of pedagogical issues solutions during teaching of music-theory learning in the musical school.
METHOD OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF STUDENT-VOCALIST IN SOLO SINGING CLASSES
Authors:   Department of Music Theory and Vocal South Ukrainian national, Bitko Natalia
Published: October 2022

The article investigates one of the aspects of professional training of future vocalists and teachers of solo singing in the system of university education. The accumulated scientific and pedagogical, vocal-methodical and practical experience in this field is analyzed. It was found that the methods of students' work on vocal works, which contribute to the effective formation of professional competencies, need scientific substantiation. The study of the process of work on vocal works in the class of solo singing allowed us to draw the following conclusions: 1) work on vocal works in the class of solo singing is the most important component of preparing future vocalists for professional activities; 2) mastering by students of scientifically substantiated and pedagogically expedient methods of work on vocal works promotes successful formation of vocal-performing, vocal-scenic, vocal-methodical and other professional competences; 3) the success of students' work on vocal works in the solo singing class depends on the ability of teachers to rationally combine general scientific, didactic and special musical principles, methods and teaching aids. The study does not cover all aspects of the problem. In our opinion, the search for innovative methods of concert-performance training of vocal students in extracurricular time is promising. The result of joint work of a student and a teacher on a vocal work in a solo singing class depends equally on the student's ability to master the necessary educational material and on the level of professional training of the teacher. Only under this condition it is possible to ensure the successful preparation of students for professional activities and the full formation of their professional and general competencies.
Perceptions amongst medication users regarding South African patient package inserts (PPIs) of scheduled and over-the-counter (OTC) medications
Authors: Krige Daleen , De Wet Johann Cornelius
Published: October 2022

This article reports on the PPI itself, its information, and language usage in the texts, as tested infocus-group sessions, using content analysis. Quantitative readability assessments of selectedPPIs revealed that the texts were mostly “difficult” or “very difficult”. However, readability relies notonly on text variables, but also on interaction between reader and text. From the findings, certainrecommendations are suggested to enhance the reader accessibility and cultural competenceof such documents. If PPIs, as a health communication tool, can be seen to be valuable andeasily comprehensible sources of medication information, they can fulfil a necessary role in healthliteracy, especially in a multicultural, developing country such as South Africa, one typified byhuge class differences and where more than two-thirds of its households fall within the lower- tomiddle-income groups.
Globalisation and media ethics in Africa
Authors: Phiri Isaac
Published: October 2022

The disintegration of military regimes and one-party rule occurring across Africa in the early1990s allowed for the mushrooming of numerous new media initiatives and the resuscitationof hitherto dormant media operations. The enthusiasm was fuelled by promises of freedom ofspeech and prospects of the media becoming an autonomous fourth actor on the public stage. Itwas envisioned by many that the media would reject the ethos prevailing under hegemonic ruleand adopt international norms. But nearly two decades later, media people and their organisationsin sub-Saharan Africa are still entangled in a labyrinth of ethical dilemma. One of the big issuesbegging further research and reflection is whether to localise or globalise ethical discourse andpractice. How far should indigenous cultural values inform journalism ethics? And, how can thisbe negotiated in a rapidly globalising environment? This paper uses the Zambian experienceto advance the position that glocalisation - the hybridisation of ethical norms between the localand the global -provides the most enduring and acceptable foundation for ethical theorising andpractice available to media professionals on the continent.
Distributed public service broadcasting as an alternative model for public service broadcasting in South Africa
Authors: Fourie Pieter Jacobus
Published: October 2022

The purpose of this article is to propose/justify a new model for South African public servicebroadcasting, namely, distributed public service broadcasting. The justification is done againstthe background of a description of the changed and converged new media environment broughtabout by technological developments with the concomitant new production, content anddistribution challenges and with interactivity as the new foundation of communicator-audiencerelationships. It is argued that the new media environment requires new thinking about publicservice broadcasting (PSB). The need for a new model is further justified against the backgroundof the continued governance, managerial and financial problems the South African BroadcastingCorporation (SABC) has been experiencing for more than a decade, which has led to a new butcontroversial Public Service Broadcasting Bill (2009/2010) in an attempt to address the problems.It is argued that the problems will not be resolved. Instead, a new broadcasting model should ratherbe considered. It should, however, be emphasised that distributed public service broadcasting asa new model is only introduced in this article. Detail about the model is the topic of additionalresearch that has yet to be done. Finally, the article should be read against the background ofwhat were, at the time of writing in 2010, a number of serious governmental threats to freedomof expression with government proposing, inter alia, the introduction of a controversial Bill on theProtection of Information and also of a Media Appeals Tribunal – both of these constituting furtherthreats to the autonomy of the public broadcaster and which makes it even more urgent that anew broadcasting model be considered. The above topics are addressed in separate parts of thearticle dealing with context, problems besetting South African public service broadcasting, pastand present efforts to address the problems, a justification for a new model – one focusing on thenew converged and digitised media environment – new thinking about regulation, the changednature of social responsibility, a semiotic justification,
Librarian-academic collaboration: the role of strategic communication and relationship management
Authors: Wiggil Marlene
Published: October 2022

Information literacy and critical thinking skills are essential in the information age towardsachieving academic success and being adequately skilled for lifelong learning. Academiclibraries have an indispensable role to play in this regard. Collaboration between librarians andacademics is important to ensure both effective information-literacy training and service provisionto students and to the academic community. However, a lack of understanding, knowledge, andcommunication regarding academic libraries’ teaching and research role is proving to be anobstacle in obtaining librarian-academic collaboration. Academic libraries do mostly not applystrategic communication management to build and maintain relationships with its stakeholders,which contributes to the challenges surrounding librarian-academic collaboration. This paperreports on how four academic libraries practise communication and relationship managementto enhance librarian-academic collaboration. The study aims to make recommendations for theapplication of more effective, strategy-driven communication and relationship management toenhance librarian-academic collaboration.
The relationship between corporate identity-management constructs and relationship-management constructs
Authors: Holtzhausen Lida , Fourie Lynnette
Published: October 2022

This article investigates the relationship between corporate identity-management constructs andthe quality of employer-employee relationships at the North-West University. Internal stakeholderssuch as employees are not so much concerned about how the organisation is visually representedas about the behavioural aspects of the organisation.Companies are continually finding themselves in positions where they are encouraged to managetheir corporate identities with a view to managing their reputations so as ultimately to strengthenand maintain good relationships with their stakeholders. The realisation that employees formpart of the external corporate identity of a company has shifted the focus of corporate identitymanagement inwards towards employees as an internal stakeholder group. Although it isassumed that good corporate identity management leads to good relationships, little researchhas been done on the direct link between the two concepts. Research in this regard has found arelationship between employees’ perceptions of how effectively the company upholds its values(as part of the non-visual corporate identity) and the quality of its employee relationships.
Diffusion and adoption of information and communication technologies in the public sector
Authors: Mbatha Blessing , Lesame Zandi
Published: October 2022

This study seeks to shed some light on the types, usage and availability of information and

communication technologies (ICTs) in four selected government departments in the KwaZulu-Natal government in South Africa. To achieve the stated aim, the study posed and then answered

the following research questions: What types of ICTs are available in government departments?What is the purpose of using ICTs in government departments? What are the benefits ofusing ICTs in government departments? What are the ICTs that civil servants consider to beeffective in improving work productivity in government departments? What are the civil servants’recommendations for improving ICT usage in government departments? The study was informedby the diffusion-of-innovations theory. Government departments considered to be central to servicedelivery were targeted by means of a survey. To obtain a representative sample, a systematicsampling method was applied. The collected data were analysed using thematic categorisationand tabulation, and the findings were presented descriptively. The results indicate that a varietyof ICT tools and services have been adopted in the government departments included in thesurvey so as to facilitate information sharing and improve communication. All the civil servantssurveyed indicated that they used ICTs to communicate with fellow colleagues and to disseminatedepartmental information. The most popular recommendations included the need for sufficientand coherent government policies to regulate the training of staff in the utilisation of ICTs in thesector. Detailed recommendations for further study are provided.
Exploring patterns of Facebook usage, social capital, loneliness and well-being among a diverse South African student sample
Authors: Young Charles , Strelitz Larry
Published: October 2022

There has been much debate over whether the use of social network sites (SNSs) isolates people and truncates their relationships or, alternatively, provides beneficial connections with others. This debate has been framed by a growing body of international literature that explores the triadic relationship between the intensity of use of SNSs, the maintenance of social capital and the relationship between social capital and well-being/life satisfaction. Our exploratory research findings among students at Rhodes University, a small South African higher education institution, indicate that the historically shaped race and class cleavages impact on how thistriadic relationship plays out.
The marketing of an unsought service through an unobtrusive medium: a content analysis of the websites of members of the National Funeral Directors Association of South Africa
Authors: Coetzee Cerneels , Maree Tania , van Heerden Cornelius
Published: October 2022

The marketing of intangible services – particularly of unsought services such as those of the funeral industry – can be said to pose inherently unique challenges to marketers. Because of the unsought nature of funeral services, consumers generally avoid the industry, primarily because the services offered by the funeral industry are associated with death and grief. This article reports on some selected findings of an evaluation of the effectiveness of funeral-home websites of members of the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) of South Africa. The focus of this paper is on the user-friendliness of the websites under consideration. A quantitative content analysis of the websites in question was conducted to collect the relevant data. Thefindings indicate that the majority of the websites may be considered satisfactory in terms of their overall ease of use. As well as some recommendations for improvements to the websites, a few suggestions for future research are also provided.
South African journalists’ conceptualisation of professionalism and deviations from normative liberal values
Authors: Rodny-Gumede Ylva
Published: October 2022

In this article the question is raised of what professionalism means in the context of South Africanjournalism, and if there are deviations from ideas of professionalism as defined in normativeliberal frameworks of the news media in terms of how South African journalists perceive their ownrole in society and as to how they define professionalism. The research is partially based on in-depth qualitative interviews with journalists from a crosssection of the South African news media, and asks questions about their own perceptions ofprofessional values and their own role in society. The interview findings point to South Africanjournalists articulating their role as one of neither watchdog nor lapdog – instead, the intervieweesall articulate their role as based on competing imperatives, in which concerns for the audience anda broader articulation of the public interest take precedent over more liberal conceptualisations ofthe role of journalism in democracy.
Mapping the field
Authors: Burger Mariekie
Published: October 2022

Despite a vast array of HIV/AIDS prevention communication initiatives in South Africa, recentresearch pointed out that the general public’s knowledge level about HIV/AIDS has decreasedand that risky behaviour associated with the spread of the virus, is on the increase. This meansthat even though some successes with HIV/AIDS prevention communication have been achieved,new innovative ways of communicating about the epidemic urgently needs to be investigated. Insearch for a new direction, this article maps four forms of HIV/AIDS prevention communicationin the country. Instead of continuing on the trajectory of exploring project-based campaigns thatare initiated ‘from the outside’ (such as projects formulated by donor institutions), this articlesuggests that community-initiated HIV/AIDS prevention communication initiatives might suggesta new direction to supplement existing communication on the epidemic.
Performing the virtual double
Authors: Du Preez Amanda
Published: October 2022

In what follows the idea of the online double is historically contextualised and analysed. Beginningwith the contemporary idea of the ‘selfie’ as online self-induced double, I proceed to discuss theDoppelgänger’s (double) mythical and literary roots, in order to expand the discussion of the selfieto include the online double. Two instances of the online double are unpacked, namely the doubleas shadow and the double as a stand-in or alter-ego, which correspond significantly with MarshallMcLuhan’s analysis of the Narcissus myth and technological use. McLuhan reveals the doublednature of our technological engagement that leads to either self-amputation or self-amplification.In my analysis, the double as shadow is correlated with self-amputation and the double as alteregowith self-amplification. It is argued that the double as shadow is evoked online through themining of data regarding the self that is captured consciously and unconsciously to create whatis known as the Data Doppelgänger. The figure of the Doppelgänger is further vividly conjuredthrough virtual stand-ins or alter-egos that act on behalf of the self to create a tele-presencethrough examples such as Project Lifelike and rep.licants.org.
Towards more effective leadership communication
Authors: De Lange Lucrezea , Mulder Dalmé
Published: October 2022

Contemporary organisations and their leaders are continually tasked with finding new ways ofcreating value for their stakeholders. Leadership effectiveness is critical within large organisations,and leadership communication ranks as the top critical driver of organisational results. Thisunderlines the importance of leaders being capable communicators responsible for adding valueto organisations. However, discussions on the topic of leadership communication are rare. Thishighlights the fact that the field of organisational communication has had limited engagementwith the world of leadership. This study aimed to address this knowledge gap and focused onthe role of communication in the leadership process, and attempted to identify ways in whichleadership communication could be improved. Leadership communication was explored from twodifferent perspectives to provide a more comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon. Rogers’revolutionary conceptual analysis was employed to investigate the foundation of the concept.Thereafter, a phenomenological study was undertaken among communication professionalsexposed to leadership communication to explore their lived experiences of the phenomenon. Thedata from the phenomenological study were used to enhance the conceptual analysis. Effectiveleadership communication was described as a socially constructed and relational concept thatshould endorse meaning-making in particular contexts. Guidelines are presented to enhance theeffectiveness of leadership communication.
Purpose and practice
Authors: Verwey Sonja , Benecke René , Muir Clarissa
Published: October 2022

Business thinking, engagement with stakeholders, and the practice of public relations haveall been confronted with major paradigmatic shifts – especially as these are contextualized byenvironments that are increasingly pluralistic. This has contributed to an important question intowhat the education of future public relations practitioners (PRPs) should be so that they canpurposefully and successfully navigate and negotiate the challenges of decision-making – thatare ethical and moral in nature – in the context of complex, and diverse practice. In light ofthis, public relations curriculum developers and educators are challenged to address issues ofpurpose, values-based practice and education in order to prepare future PRPs for the ethical andmoral challenges that they will encounter. In the South African context this is further complicatedby the recent calls for decolonisation of South African public relations curricula. This conceptualand exploratory paper addresses the issue of practice in an age of purpose, the changing roles ofpublic relations practitioners, and the contribution values-based education can make in addressingdemands for revised, and decolonised PR curricula.

LOGISTIQUE & QUICK COMMERCE : ACCOMPAGNER LA NUMERISATION DE LA DISTRIBUTION
Authors: Paché Gilles
Published: October 2022

Depuis quelques années, le secteur de la distribution connaît une nouvelle phase dans son processus de digitalisation avec l’émergence du quick commerce. Ce dernier se fonde sur une promesse de livraison de produits de grande consommation dans un délai très court, de l’ordre de 10 à 15 minutes après une commande en ligne via une application. Pour assurer la livraison dans les meilleures conditions, une organisation logistique originale a été mise en place au cœur des villes. Elle repose sur des « dark stores » où viennent s’alimenter les livreurs à vélo ou à scooter assurant le dernier kilomètre, après que les commandes ont été préparées. L’article souligne en quoi le quick commerce met au centre de l’analyse la « bataille du délai », qui répond à un culte de l’urgence ne cessant de s’amplifier dans les pays occidentaux. Pour remporter cette bataille, la logistique est plus que jamais essentielle, mais la forme qu’elle prend avec les « dark stores » génère des tensions qui pourraient conduire, notamment en France, à une réglementation donnant un puissant coup de frein à cette nouvelle phase de digitalisation de la distribution.
Professionalization and organizational problems of sports clubs: Is there a relationship?
Authors: Lang Grazia , Piller Sarah , Schmid Jürg , Lamprecht Markus , Nagel Siegfried
Published: October 2022

Sports clubs have been reporting several organizational problems in recent decades (e.g., recruitment and retention of members and volunteers). At the same time, certain sports clubs have professionalized their strategies, structures, processes, and staff. However, previous research has not analyzed whether the professionalization of sports clubs is related to their organizational problems. Therefore, this study conducts, in the first step, a cluster analysis based on three dimensions of professionalization to identify professionalization types among sports clubs. In the second step, it examines differences in organizational problems among the identified professionalization types. The main findings are that (1) sports clubs with paid staff report fewer problems with recruiting and retaining members but more problems with finances than sports clubs that rely on voluntary work, and (2) sports clubs with increased professionalization of human resources management (HRM) and strategy have fewer problems with recruiting and retaining board members and coaches than sports clubs with low professionalization of HRM and strategy. These results show that professionalized sports clubs have different, but not necessarily fewer, organizational problems.

Bu çalışmada kurumlar ve iktisadi gelişme arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisi Bootstrap panel Granger nedensellik analizi kullanılarak test edilmektedir. Örneklem oluşturulurken Dünya Bankası Atlas metoduna göre belirlenen gelir sınıflandırması referans alınmış ve üst orta gelir sınıfında yer alan G20 ülkelerine odaklanılmıştır. Dünya nüfusundan, dünya GSYİH’sinden ve küresel ticaretten aldıkları pay bakımından dikkate değer olan bu ülkeler aynı zamanda iktisadi gelişmişlik ve kurumsal kapasite olarak belirli bir düzeye ulaşmış olan ülkelerdir. Çalışma 1996-2019 dönemini kapsamaktadır. Üç farklı kurum değişkeni ile oluşturulan modellerde nedensellik ilişkisinin yönünün hem kullanılan kurum değişkenine karşı duyarlı olduğu hem de ülkeden ülkeye farklılık gösterdiği ortaya konmuştur. Çalışmada elde edilen bulgular kurumlar ve iktisadi gelişme arasında çift yönlü nedenselliği desteklese de toplam vaka sayısına göre yapılan değerlendirmede kurumlardan iktisadi gelişmeye doğru nedenselliğin daha güçlü olduğu görülmüştür.
Ramsey-Type Results for Path Covers and Path Partitions
Authors: Chiba Shuya , Furuya Michitaka
Published: October 2022

A family $\mathcal{P}$ of subgraphs of $G$ is called a path cover (resp. a path partition) of $G$ if $\bigcup _{P\in \mathcal{P}}V(P)=V(G)$ (resp. $\dot\bigcup _{P\in \mathcal{P}}V(P)=V(G)$) and every element of $\mathcal{P}$ is a path. The minimum cardinality of a path cover (resp. a path partition) of $G$ is denoted by ${\rm pc}(G)$ (resp. ${\rm pp}(G)$). In this paper, we characterize the forbidden subgraph conditions assuring us that ${\rm pc}(G)$ (or ${\rm pp}(G)$) is bounded by a constant. Our main results introduce a new Ramsey-type problem.
Skew Schur Polynomials and Cyclic Sieving Phenomenon
Authors: Lee So-Yeon , Oh Young-Tak
Published: October 2022

Let $k$ and $m$ be positive integers and $\lambda/\mu$ a skew partition. We compute the principal specialization of the skew Schur polynomials $s_{\lambda /\mu}(x_1, \ldots, x_{k})$ modulo $q^m-1$ under suitable conditions. We interpret the results thus obtained from the viewpoint of the cyclic sieving phenomenon on semistandard Young skew tableaux of shape $\lambda/\mu$. As an application, we deal with evaluations of the principal specialization of the skew Schur polynomials at roots of unity.
Digraphs with All Induced Directed Cycles of the Same Length are not $\vec{\chi}$-Bounded
Authors: Carbonero Alvaro , Hompe Patrick , Moore Benjamin , Spirkl Sophie
Published: October 2022

For $t \ge 2$, let us call a digraph $D$ t-chordal if all induced directed cycles in $D$ have length equal to $t$. In an earlier paper, we asked for which $t$ it is true that $t$-chordal graphs with bounded clique number have bounded dichromatic number. Recently, Aboulker, Bousquet, and de Verclos answered this in the negative for $t=3$, that is, they gave a construction of $3$-chordal digraphs with clique number at most $3$ and arbitrarily large dichromatic number. In this paper, we extend their result, giving for each $t \ge 3$ a construction of $t$-chordal digraphs with clique number at most $3$ and arbitrarily large dichromatic number, thus answering our question in the negative. On the other hand, we show that a more restricted class, digraphs with no induced directed cycle of length less than $t$, and no induced directed $t$-vertex path, have bounded dichromatic number if their clique number is bounded. We also show the following complexity result: for fixed $t \ge 2$, the problem of determining whether a digraph is $t$-chordal is coNP-complete.

Published: October 2022

In the present paper, a new characterization of the orthogonality of a monic polynomials sequence $\left\{ Q_{n}\right\} _{n\geq 0}$ is obtained. This is defined as a linear combination of another monic orthogonal polynomials sequence $\left\{ P_{n}\right\} _{n\geq 0}$ such as% \begin{equation*} Q_{n}(x)+r_{n}Q_{n-1}(x)=P_{n}(x)+s_{n}P_{n-1}(x)+t_{n}P_{n-2}\left( x\right) +v_{n}P_{n-3}\left( x\right) +w_{n}P_{n-4}(x),\ n\geq 0 \end{equation*}% where $w_{n}r_{n}\neq 0,$ for every $n\geq 5.$ Futhermore, the relation between the corresponding linear functionals is showed to be \begin{equation*} k\left( x-c\right) u=\left( x^{4}+ax^{3}+bx^{2}+dx+e\right) v \end{equation*}% where $c,$ $a,$ $b,$ $d,$ $e\in \mathbb{C}$ and $k\in \mathbb{C}\backslash\{0\}.$ Finally, an illustration using special case of the above type relation is given.

Quitting thresholds in visual search are impacted by target present detection times but not their variability
Authors: Becker Mark W. , Rodriguez Andrew , Pontious Dana

Models of visual search posit that target absent responses occur when the quitting threshold for the trial is reached before a target is detected, and that feedback about missed targets allows the quitting threshold to be adaptively set to the difficulty of the search task. While these models may effectively capture processes in lab-based tasks, in real-world searches feedback is often impossible to provide. Instead, observers have little information about their errors, and may only be aware of when they successfully detect the target. We posit that in the absence of feedback the time required to find a target might influence quitting thresholds. In three experiments, we investigate how manipulating the mean time and the standard deviation of time to detect a target influence quitting thresholds in target absent trials. To vary target detection times while holding the search stimuli constant, we used an eye-movement contingent change to surreptitiously introduce a target near fixation at a particular time. Results show that decreasing the mean time to find a target also decreases the number of items inspected and reaction time in target absent trials, the hallmark of a shift in the quitting threshold. By contrast, varying the standard deviation around a fixed mean had no impact on target absent search times. These findings suggest that people are sensitive to the typical time required to find a target in a given task and use that information to flexibly adjust target absent quitting thresholds, but people are not sensitive to the variability.

Sabun cair adalah jenis sediaan berbentuk cairan yang dapat bermanfaat dalam membunuh bakteri Staphylococcus aureus pada kulit manusia. Beberapa ekstrak tanaman yang dapat diformulasikan sebagai zat aktif sabun cair adalah ekstrak daun ekor kucing, ekstrak bunga pacar air, ekstrak daun kemangi, ekstrak daun kersen, ekstrak kulit buah durian, ekstrak daun mengkudu, ekstrak daun serai wangi, dan ekstrak daun cengkeh. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui aktivitas antibakteri sediaan sabun cair ekstrak tanaman dengan formulasi yang relatif mirip terhadap bakteri Staphylococcus aureus. Metode penelitian menggunakan studi literatur berupa artikel dengan kata kunci yang disesuaikan dengan MeSH melalui publikasi Google Scholar dimana artikel tersebut merupakan penelitian eksperimen yang terbit pada tahun 2011 sampai 2021 serta terdapat zona hambat bakteri Staphylococcus aureus yang mempengaruhi sediaan sabun cair. Setelah dianalisa kualitas menggunakan Critical Appraisal Checklist maka diperoleh artikel yang layak untuk ditelaah sebanyak 8 jurnal nasional. Hasil review artikel diketahui bahwa sebagian besar formula menggunakan minyak zaitun, KOH, CMC, SLS, asam stearat, BHA/BHT, pengaroma dan aquadest dimana aktivitas antibakteri formulasi sediaan sabun cair yang mengandung ekstrak tanaman terhadap bakteri Staphylococcus aureus dengan kategori zona hambat sangat kuat terdapat pada ekstrak serai wangi dengan konsentrasi 24% yang memiliki hasil zona hambat bakteri 39,2 mm. Hal ini dapat dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor yaituperbedaan metode ujidan perbedaan konsentrasi ekstrak formulasi sediaan sabun cair yang digunakan.

Neurological signs associated with intracerebral calcifications require a complex management of calcium, phosphate and parathormone levels and search of a series of general and cerebral disease too. The mechanisms of intracerebral calcification in hypoparathyroidism are not completely known. Neurological signs associated with intracerebral calcification are very rarely the presenting symptoms of hypoparathyroidism. We present 2 cases in which the diagnosis of hypoparathyroidism was brought on by several neurological signs and widespread intracerebral calcification.
