Published: April 2024

The company always tries to improve competitiveness by improving company performance. Using upgraded digital technology makes it easier for internal and external companies to determine business strategies quickly and precisely. This study surveyed expedition companies in East Java, as many as 104 companies with the criteria of having a transportation fleet. Data collection using questionnaires and dissemination in collaboration with the Association of Express Delivery Service Companies, Post and Logistics Indonesia (ASPERINDO). Research respondents consist of employees or unit leaders who are competent in the substance of the survey. Data analysis uses the partial least square (PLS) method. The results showed that digital technology positively and significantly impacts supply chain collaboration, inventory management, and supply chain resilience. The company's ability to build supply chain collaboration impacts improving inventory management optimization, supply chain resilience, and supply chain performance. Furthermore, inventory management with the ability to control inventory well and on-time delivery does not impact supply chain resilience. However, good inventory management has a positive impact on supply chain performance. Likewise, shipping companies, by increasing supply chain resilience, have an impact on supply chain performance. The results of this study contribute to the theory of supply chain management and resource-based view. The practical contribution enlightens the middle and top management on the importance of digital technology with the suitability of investment and benefits obtained in improving supply chain performance.

Finally, DC in our survey had a positive and significant relationship to SP and strengthened the findings of previous findings. Moreover, SCM had a positive and significant relationship with DC, which recommends company owners make policies to improve SCM to increase DC. This research provides input to organizational owners to implement supply chain management, and dynamic capabilities to improve company performance and competitiveness.
A bibliometric review of risk disclosure studies
Authors: Triaryati Nyoman , Salim Ubud , Wijayanti Risna , Andarwati Andarwati
Published: April 2024

Risk disclosure condenses information asymmetry and delivers company risk information to external parties—nonetheless, inadequate studies highlight risk disclosure’s role in investor perception. Consequently, the risk disclosure studies are predominantly about determinant and tone impact, demanding further endeavor on the role of risk disclosure by enacting a bibliometric approach to review the status quo, pattern and focus, and the trend of the risk disclosure studies to determine the future research direction. This study pinpoints that risk disclosure has been progressively discussed in international publications over the last decade. Nevertheless, some relevant research community themes must be carefully planned, i.e., risk assessment and market risk disclosure. Further, the noteworthy aspect of writers’ productivity is that the most productive writers are excluded as the most cited authors, demonstrating that the hotspot of study on risk disclosure is the role in annual financial stability, determinants, and how crucial transparency is in the capital market. This study also reveals that extensive cooperation is conducted primarily in the USA, UK, and Australia. However, the development has shifted to China, India, and Asia. Future research on risk disclosure will be explored more in Russia, South America, and Africa, considering the countries’ regulations and risk policies.

Published: April 2024

Curcuma aromatica is a species of the Curcuma genus of flowering plants in the ginger family, Zingiberaceae. It is commonly known as wild turmeric, and is native to Southeast Asia, particularly India and Sri Lanka. It is traditionally used in Ayurvedic and other traditional systems for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. In the present research study, the antiproliferative activity was assessed for C.aromatica rhizome extract, rhizome essential oil and leaf oil individually. The results clearly demonstrated the efficacy of C.aromatica extracts and essential oils as a antiproliferative effect towards MDA-MB231, the Breast cancer cell line. The reduction in the cell viability of the breast cancer cell lines on treating with the extracts and essential oils individually can be attributed to Curcumin, Demethoxycurcumin and Bisdemethoxycurcumin and unique odour defining components such as cedrene, Xanthorrhizol, camphor, Germacrone, Isofuranogermacrone and 1,8-cineole. The study clearly demonstrates the antiproliferative effects of C.aromatica.

Published: April 2024

The military's influence in Pakistani politics is being questioned following its most recent national assembly elections. Despite challenges, including former Prime Minister Imran Khan's detention and the withdrawal of recognition for his Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), the party supporters as independents won 93-97 seats. The election results raise issues about the military's involvement in electoral politics, whether the country is moving toward political stability or whether it is on the verge of another coup d'état. According to reports, the fragility of the coalition, disregard for popular mandate, and democratic deficit have all been impacting national politics.
MODELING OF THE STRESS-STRAIN STATE OF PRESTRESSED REINFORCED CONCRETE ELEMENTS REINFORCED WITH COMPOSITE MATERIAL
Authors: LAZOVSKI D. , BADALOVA E.
Published: April 2024

The results of applying a deformation and block models to determine the parameters of the stress-strain state and calculate the strength of prestressed bent reinforced concrete elements reinforced in a stretched zone with carbon fiber plates glued to the outer surface of concrete and glued into pre-made vertical grooves are presented. When calculating the parameters of the stress-strain state of reinforced elements, the distribution of relative deformations and stresses in the cross section of the element before reinforcement is taken into account, including the effect of the compression force transmitted to the concrete by the prestressed main reinforcement. The distribution of relative deformations and stresses in the cross section of the prototypes at the main stages corresponding to different loading stages is given. The verification of the proposed methodology for calculating the strength of prestressed bent reinforced concrete elements reinforced with composite material has been carried out.
NUMERICAL MODELING OF NATURAL LIGHTING, INSOLATION AND SUN PROTECTION
Authors: ODENBAKH I.
Published: April 2024

The article describes numerical modeling of geometric parameters of gratings, angular and temporal characteristics of light transmission and transmission of solar energy, optimization of natural lighting, insolation and sun protection, as well as heat inflow from solar radiation to assess the impact on the functioning of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems (HVC). The angular characteristics of the filter are presented, a formula for determining the shift between the traces of the input on the plane of the output lattice at the characteristic angle of the filter and an arbitrary angle of incidence. In tabular, calculation formulas and light transmission characteristics are indicated for certain range boundaries, depending on the ratio of band widths.

The advantages of a smart window with a filter are also justified due to the possibility of any angle of inclination of the grilles compared to blinds, which cannot provide optimal sun protection at any azimuth of the window, and the figure shows a diagram of smart windows with different azimuths for a building with a round facade.

The expediency of using smart windows with grid filters in buildings with curved facades to increase the comfort of natural lighting and insolation, protection from direct sunlight is substantiated.

Borrowing Without Clear Agreements from the Fikih Muamalah Perspective (Study of the Utilization of People's Wealth)
Authors: Zuhirsyan Muhammad , Tambunan Abdul Aziz
Published: April 2024

This research was conducted to examine the reality that occurs among the community in the form of borrowing goods without a clear contract regarding various acts of using goods belonging to the people. This research uses data collection methods through observation and documentation and analyzes it using a qualitative, descriptive analytical approach. The results of the research show that borrowing goods in the form of using goods belonging to the people without a clear agreement often occurs in the community, both intentionally and unintentionally. From the perspective of Islamic muamalah fiqh, this action is often called ghasab which is prohibited in Islamic sharia teachings. The perpetrators can be subject to law, both religious law and positive law. This is often considered normal and has become a habit, especially in dormitory-based educational institutions, so of course it is necessary to carry out various outreach activities before entering the relevant law enforcement.

Published: April 2024

Activities related to the civil construction sector (including the stages of execution, renovation, repair and demolition) are considered responsible for the exacerbated generation of a large volume of Construction and Demolition Residues (CDR), popularly known as rubble (composed, basically, by the remains of different materials, blocks, soils, rocks, tiles, bricks, glass, wood, steel, plaster, mortar, concrete, and ceramics, among others), which are accumulated worldwide. Thus, this paper objective to carry out a review of literature related to the environmental aspect in an exploratory manner through an internet search platform, that is, articles published in indexed journals and scientific events associated with the theme of reusing materials in construction. Given the material analyzed, it can be seen that: (i) CDR, currently accumulated in a large proportion, is considered one of the main responsible for generating various types of damage to the environment, (ii) the process of deconstruction of buildings – dismantling, considered a correct environmental alternative - would contribute to the conversion used in the current model of use of conventional construction materials to a circular model, (iii) the implementation of an efficient management plan for CDR would help in reducing the accumulated volume, would facilitate its routing both for recycling and for their disposal in landfills, it would reduce urban cleaning costs, reduce the impact on sources of natural aggregates, and encourage the installation of recycling plants and reuse of CDR, and enable the production of alternative construction materials.
Eliciting and Assessing our Moral Risk Preferences
Authors: Yeo Shang Long
Published: April 2024

Suppose an agent is choosing between rescuing more people with a lower probability of success, and rescuing fewer with a higher probability of success. How should they choose? Our moral judgments about such cases are not well-studied, unlike the closely analogous non-moral preferences over monetary gambles. In this paper, I present an empirical study which aims to elicit the moral analogues of our risk preferences, and to assess whether one kind of evidence—concerning how they depend on outcome probabilities—can debunk them. I find significant heterogeneity in our moral risk preferences—in particular, moral risk-seeking and risk-neutrality are surprisingly popular. I also find that subjects’ judgments aren't probability-dependent, thus providing an empirical defense against debunking arguments from probability dependence.
Binary Properties as the Basis of Equality
Authors: Lipshitz Nethanel
Published: April 2024

“Basic equality” is the thesis that all (or nearly all) human beings are equal in moral status. Widespread interpersonal differences among humans make the task of justifying basic equality notoriously difficult. One strategy for circumventing this difficulty is to identify some morally significant binary (“all-or-nothing”) property that all humans have. This strategy seems promising: if the basis of equality is binary, then those who have it have it equally. However, skeptics have argued against this strategy on the grounds that a proper defense of basic equality requires that we identify a morally significant property that can vary among humans but does not in fact vary. This paper examines various ways in which this skeptical argument can be motivated and concludes that they all fail.
Picturing Novembrists in Paris
Authors: Young Tom
Published: April 2024

This essay examines a print series called Les Polonais et les Polonaises de la Révolution du 29 Novembre, 1830, a collection of just under one-hundred lithographic portraits of individuals involved in the November Uprising of 1830–1831. It was produced and authored by Józef Straszewicz (1801–1838), a revolutionary turned émigré publisher and art dealer in Paris. Serialized between 1832 and 1837, the project was described as a “Historical Gallery of Contemporary Poland.” From its release to the present day, it has supplied publishers with the likenesses of renowned Polish martyrs as well the Wielka Emigracja's most illustrious exiles. Yet despite their widespread use as illustrations, the portraits have rarely been analyzed on their own terms: as remarkable specimens of romantic lithography and diasporic Polish art. In this essay, I argue that the visual format adopted by Straszewicz—a portrait vignette accompanied by a lithographic facsimile of the sitter's signature—enabled the publisher to communicate specifically Polish political concerns according to a visual framework associated with transnational liberal ideas about an individual's place in public life. By focusing more specifically on the series’ inclusion of seven women involved in the Uprising, I argue that the print portrait format cogently expressed gendered ideas about diasporic political participation and the conceptual link between suffering and national belonging in émigré political discourse.
“Moscow Mary” Looks behind the Iron Curtain
Authors: Pease Neal
Published: April 2024

Dorothy Day (1897–1980), the co-founder and central figure of the Catholic Worker movement, and current candidate for sainthood, visited Poland, the USSR, and other countries in the Soviet bloc for three weeks in summer 1971. In her youth, she had associated with communist and left-wing causes in the United States, and retained a radical political outlook derived from her understanding of the true interpretation of Christianity. Her intent in visiting Eastern Europe was to satisfy a lifelong fascination with Russian culture and to explore religious conditions behind the Iron Curtain. Although Poland was a secondary destination, she found its capital unexpectedly charming and moving. In Moscow, she irritated her Soviet hosts with open statements of admiration for the banned writer Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. The article is based largely on Day's own writings and materials in her archival papers at Marquette University.

This research discusses the implementation of the singing method in enhancing the reading skills of first-grade students at SDN 30 Mattirowalie, Palopo City. The main objective of this study is to describe the implementation of the singing method in early reading instruction and to evaluate its impact on students' reading abilities. This research adopts a classroom action approach, combining qualitative and quantitative descriptive methods in data collection and analysis. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and tests conducted throughout the research cycle. The research process is divided into four main stages: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The researcher acts as a teacher, implementing the singing method in instruction, while the homeroom teacher serves as an observer to collect observational data. The implementation of the singing method proves to be effective, evidenced by increased student enthusiasm in the teaching and learning process and significant improvement in average test scores conducted at the end of each learning cycle. The results consistently improve students' early reading skills from cycle to cycle. The average score in cycle I was 38.2, increased to 57.6 in cycle II, and finally reached its peak in cycle III with an average score of 78.6. This improvement exceeds the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM) set by the school at 70, leading to the termination of the research in cycle III as the target has been successfully achieved.

Published: April 2024

There is a conflicting opinion regarding the association between age and breast cancer in women. This study was conducted to investigate the histopathological findings of findings and features of diagnosed patients of breast cancer about their age and radiological findings of lesions and to determine the relation of aggressive findings in different age groups. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Radiological Department, JPMC, Karachi, from September 2022- September 2023. To ascertain if the histological characteristics of the tumors were connected to the age of the patient, the histology reports of 100 women with breast cancer diagnoses underwent examination. Grading of their cancer based on BIRAD Classification was done on the radiological findings of ultrasound and mammography. Patients between 15 and 65 years were split into five different age groups. Patients who were naive and had never had any surgical or medicinal treatment for cancer before were included. After obtaining consent, a detailed questionnaire with the required data and physical and chemical parameters was completed. Tissue samples in studies mainly included trust biopsies, large mass removal, and tissues from mastectomies. Results: People under the age of 40 were shown to have a higher incidence of grade III infiltrating ductal carcinoma (P 0.0001). Lobular carcinomas were observed more frequently in the elderly group. With advancing age, there was a discernible decline in lymphoplasmacytic stromal response, axillary lymph node metastases, and vascular invasion, all unaffected by tumor grade. Conclusion: These findings imply that the histology of breast cancer may alter with age and that older patients may exhibit less aggressive characteristics in some circumstances.

The main problem of the research lies in the lack of training, competencies and skills of the crew due to the lack of discipline and the understanding of marine matters, especially related to dangerous goods handling on board. The purpose of the study is to analyze the position and management strategies offered in handling dangerous cargo, especially explosives on board of Sinar Palaran ship. The method to analyze the data was using Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Matrix analysis tool. The result shows that the intensity of dangerous goods cargo mishandling increase. Based on the analysis of Boston Consulting Group Matrix, the position of Sinar Palaran Ship is in Quadrant I, which indicates the company is facing the problem of low competence of the ship’s crew in handling dangerous goods cargo. The strategy offered through BCG Matrix is the strategy to develop, build and increase the intensity of training, discipline and maritime education for crew members to improve their competencies and skills in handling dangerous goods cargo.

Objetivou-se com este estudo avaliar a influência dos processos de extração arraste de vapor (S1) e enzimático (S2) sobre a composição polifenólica de sucos de uva das variedades Bordô, Concord e BRS Violeta produzidos na região do Vale do Rio do Peixe-SC. Foram identificados e quantificados 12 compostos fenólicos por cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência com detector de arranjo de diodos (CLAE-DAD), que diferiram sua concentração de acordo com a variedade e sistema de extração. A partir de análises de componentes principais observou-se que ‘BRS Violeta’ apresentou forte correlação com os ácidos cafeico e 4-hidroxibenzóico, bem como, com catequina e tirosol e a soma dos compostos fenólicos. ‘Bordô’ no S1 e S2 apresentaram a maior concentração para t-resveratrol e ácido vanílico. ‘Concord’ S1 e S2, apresentaram as menores concentrações de fenóis. A variedade foi determinante para a concentração final de cada composto fenólico, devido aos determinantes genéticos e propriedades tecnológicas. Os sistemas de extração influenciam na composição fenólica dos sucos, no entanto, o impacto sobre cada composto específico foi diferente em cada variedade.
Sobre pensar historicamente e o desafio da educação histórica

Nos últimos anos, a noção de pensamento histórico tem se tornado popular em pesquisas sobre educação histórica, particularmente na América do Norte, no Reino Unido e na Austrália. O objetivo deste artigo é discutir as competências cognitivas relacionadas ao pensamento histórico como uma noção de história educacional a partir de dois aspectos, conforme defendido por alguns influentes pesquisadores canadenses: o que é o pensamento histórico e o que ele significa em um contexto educacional? Quais são as consequências do pensamento histórico para a educação histórica? Nossa discussão centrar-se-á nas possíveis implicações desta abordagem para o Ensino de História no que diz respeito ao que deve ser ensinado nas salas de aula de História e seus porquês. Ao centrar-nos na noção de historicidade, argumentamos que, embora seja bem-vindo um enfoque de abordagem mais disciplinar para o Ensino de História, pensamos que deveria ser dada maior atenção no que poderia ser qualificado como uma abordagem disciplinar. Argumentamos ainda que o pensamento histórico e o desafio da educação histórica devem ser compreendidos como mais amplos ecomplexos do que implica a educação histórica embasada no pensamento histórico.

Este artigo tem como objetivo debater as “representações educacionais” constituídas pelo Estado, pela Igreja e pela sociedade civil, a fim de discutir as implicações destas experiências fenomenológicas no funcionamento da instrução primária pública e privada de Fortaleza na segunda metade do período imperial. Conforme as tensões se desdobravam dos diferentes universos de representações educacionais, pluralizavam-se as agendas relacionadas à instrução primária. É na heterogeneidade das representações educacionais que se percebe as diferenças entre quem e o que está sendo representado, possibilitando, assim, múltiplos olhares sobre sujeitos, práticas e estruturas educacionais desenvolvidas durante o século XIX. Para realizar essa discussão, utilizamos os jornais Cearense e o Fraternidade, legislações, regimentos, relatórios e decretos relativos à instrução primária pública e privada de Fortaleza no período entre 1868 e 1876. Os principais resultados nos levam a refletir sobre a trajetória fenomenológica da instrução primária pública estatal, principalmente a ligada à instrução primária privada realizada principalmente pelo Colégio Imaculada Conceição e pela Escola Popular Noturna, evidenciando, portanto, as diferentes forças educativas envolvidas na instrução primária pública e privada de Fortaleza na segunda metade do século XIX.

O presente texto visa analisar o contexto da aprovação da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) e suas repercussões na proposta curricular elaborada pelo estado do Piauí para o ensino de História. Discutimos em que medida este componente curricular, apesar de envolver saberes diretamente relacionados às competências propostas pela BNCC para a Educação Básica, não ocupa um lugar de destaque na organização curricular do estado, além de manter paradigmas curriculares centrados na visão eurocêntrica e nacionalista da história, ao priorizar o estudo das identidades sem a devida articulação com o estudo das alteridades. Para tanto, realizamos uma pesquisa de caráter bibliográfico-documental a partir de referências que discutem o tema e análise de documentos disponíveis nos portais eletrônicos oficiais do governo Federal e do governo do estado do Piauí, em especial, o documento produzido pela Secretaria Estadual de Educação, denominado Currículo para o Piauí: um marco para a educação do nosso estado.
Der Straight Flush in der operativen Nystagmusbehandlung

Purpose: Since the fifties, eye muscle surgery for the treatment of nystagmus has been well documented in the ophthalmic literature. Bilateral parallel shifting of the eyes according to Kestenbaum and Anderson is the most popular surgical maneuver to correct for an abnormal head posture (AHP). However, dose recommendations differ considerably. Material and Methods: Here we present a three-year-old girl with infantile nystagmus syndrome and compensatory AHP who underwent Kestenbaum surgery with classic Parks dosage. Results: The moderate head turn was successfully corrected by Kestenbaum surgery according to Parks also in the longterm over a 7-year period. Conclusion: In Kestenbaum surgery the compensatory AHP is corrected by symmetrically shifting the causing eccentric null points of both eyes to the primary gaze. A unilateral medial rectus recession of 5 mm with a lateral rectus resection of 8 mm in combination with a medial resection of 6 mm and a lateral recession of 7 mm in the other eye (classic Parks dosage) may be applied in moderate head turn.

Purpose: This case report describes the surgical treatment of a 70-year-old female patient with a massively reduced general condition, painless redness associated with a foreign body sensation, sensitivity to glare and increasing visual impairment of the right eye. Material and Methods: The clinical findings of the morphological anterior segment showed a most likely sterile infection with a limbus-parallel corneal stromal melting larger than 6 mm. The suspected granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener’s disease) was confirmed in the extended autoimmune serology. The patient initially underwent a perforating tectonic eccentric sclerokeratoplasty à chaud. The aim was to preserve the eye. Eighth months after the eccentric perforating sclerokeratoplasty, a new perforation developed, so a partial conjunctival flap was then added. Results: The eye could be preserved because of the perforating tectonic eccentric sclerokeratoplasty à chaud and the additional partial conjunctival flap. As expected, the surgery did not improve vision but stabilised the eyeball. Conclusion: Patients with Wegener’s disease involving the eye have the worst ocular prognosis, as they more frequently develop necrotising anterior scleritis as well as a loss of visual acuity and peripheral ulcerative keratitis. The current therapeutic approach initially involves surgical treatment of the corneal melting and, of course, stabilisation of the eyeball in the case of perforation. Partial or complete conjunctival flaps are used for severe, chronic and painful corneal surface problems when all other treatment options have failed
