A Literature Review on Public Leadership in Organizations
Authors: Ali Asim , Shabbir Taha , Ali Waqar
Published: May 2022

The purpose of this study is to analyze the literature on public leadership, to identify emerging methods to research within that discipline, and to recommend potential research directions for the future. Our attention is focused on organisational leadership from the perspective of the PA, as opposed to other types of public leadership, such as political, community, and military leadership, which are discussed elsewhere. While conducting a literature review and analysis of public leadership, this research makes use of a new mix of bibliometric methodologies that have never been used before. The four basic approaches to public leadership (specifically, "functionalism," "behavioralism," "biography," and "reformism"), each with a distinct philosophy of science (viz., "objective vs. subjective") and the degree of analysis employed (i.e., "high vs. low"), are identified by our results (i.e. micro-level vs multi-level). Following our results, we propose four areas for future investigation: shifting the emphasis away from the "leading" component of public leadership, moving from basic to complicated, and concentrating on public leadership as a starting point for further investigation. A combination of co-citation analysis and bibliographic coupling are the two general bibliometric retrieval approaches that we have employed in our methodology for retrieval.

The composite development and structure of intense synoptic-scale Arctic cyclones
Authors: Vessey Alexander F. , Hodges Kevin I. , Shaffrey Len C. , Day Jonathan J.
Published: May 2022

Abstract. Understanding the location and intensity of hazardous weather across the Arctic is important for assessing risks to infrastructure, shipping, and coastal communities. A key driver of these risks are the high winds, high ocean waves and heavy precipitation, which are dependent on the structure and development of intense synoptic-scale cyclones. This study aims to describe the typical lifetime, structure, and development of a large sample of past intense winter (DJF) and summer (JJA) synoptic-scale Arctic cyclones, using a storm compositing methodology applied to the ERA5 reanalysis. Results show that the composite development and structure of intense Arctic summer cyclones is different to that of intense winter Arctic and North Atlantic Ocean extra-tropical cyclones, and to that described in conceptual models of extra-tropical and Arctic cyclones. The composite structure of intense Arctic summer cyclones shows that they typically undergo a structural transition around the time of maximum intensity from having a baroclinic structure to an axi-symmetric cold-core structure throughout the troposphere, with a low-lying tropopause and large positive temperature anomaly in the lower stratosphere. Arctic summer cyclones are also found to have longer lifetimes than these other cyclones, potentially causing prolonged hazardous and disruptive weather conditions in the Arctic.

An Improved Algorithm for Simulating the Surface Flow Dynamics based on the Flow-Path Network Model
Authors: Wu Qianjiao , Chen Yumin , Xie Huaming , Xu Tong , Yu Jiayong , Zhang Ting
Published: May 2022

Abstract. This paper proposes an improved algorithm for simulating the surface flow dynamics based on the flow-path network model. This algorithm utilizes the parallel-multi-point method to extract the critical points and the D8 algorithm to retrieve the drainage networks from the regular-grid digital elevation model (DEM) for constructing a drainage-constrained triangulated irregular network (TIN). Then, it combines the flow directions of triangular facets over TIN with resampled flow source points to track flow lines to generate the flow path network (FPN) based on the flow-path network model. On this basis, the proposed algorithm employs three terrain parameters (slope length factor, topographic wetness index and flow path curvature) to improve the classical Manning equation based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to enhance the accuracy of the flow velocity calculation. The topographic wetness index and flow path curvature are derived by the flow-path-network-triangular-facet-network (FPN_TFN) algorithm, a new flow-path-network-topographic-wetness-index (FPN_TWI) algorithm and the flow-path-network-flow-path-curvature (FPN_C) algorithm, respectively. Finally, the velocity estimation function and surface flow discharge simulation function are parallelized by the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) to enhance its computational efficiency. The outcomes are compared with the algorithm before improvement (TIN_based algorithm) and the SWAT model. The results demonstrate that the speedup ratio reaches 15.7 compared to the TIN_based algorithm. The Nash coefficient increases by 6.49 %, the correlation coefficient decreases slightly, and the balance coefficient increases by 19.08 %. Compared with the SWAT model, the Nash coefficient and correlation coefficient increase by 97.56 % and 4.60 %, respectively. The balance coefficient is close to 1 and outperforms the compared algorithms.

The Art of the Jesuit Mission in 16th-Century Japan: The Italian Painter Giovanni Cola and the Technological Transfer at the Painting Seminario in Arie
Authors: Montanari Riccardo
Published: May 2022

The Jesuit Mission in Japan was characterized by the establishment of the first painting Seminario in the Far East supervised by the Italian Jesuit Painter Giovanni Cola, who arrived in Nagasaki from Rome in 1583. The activity of the painting school focused on the production of sacred images needed for the Missionaries' evangelization effort, and it soon became a hub of Renaissance technology. European pigments were made available to Japanese and Chinese painters who trained at the Jesuit facility. New archaeometric studies have enabled to present in this work, for the first time, a renewed interpretation of historical records, also revealing, along with documentary evidence, that Arie, a place located in Kyushu, where the Seminario stayed between 1595 and 1597, played a major role as it hosted the first European glass workshop in the Far East. The systematic use of pigments introduced at Arie influenced the production of scared images both in Japan and China. However, the overall technological transfer proved an asymmetrical process due to the fierce persecution of Christians from 1614, and, as a consequence, local production of imported pigments will not start until the lifting of the ban on Christianity in 1873 with the return of Europeans to Japan.
Ceremony and Popular Culture. Festivities and Objects Connected with the National Theatre and other Czech Public Buildings before 1918
Authors: Galeta Jan
Published: May 2022

The present article focuses on the festivities held between the 1860s and 1914 in the Lands of the Bohemian Crown, which were associated with various construction phases of buildings important for the Czech speaking society (especially the laying of the foundation stone and the opening ceremony). These festivities lie somewhere between the artificially constructed concepts of "high" and "low", "the elite" and "the people", and between "folk" and "mass" culture. The study aims to show that without the people, without an audience, these festivities would not be celebrations but just elite parties. Therefore, the nature of these festivals was primarily popular, as evidenced by many details, including their character, the accompanying theatre plays and souvenir items. The festivities and the whole idea of the National Theatre in Prague are examined in the first part of the article, which is followed by examples from other parts of the Czech lands and finally, medals, postcards and promotional brochures are discussed.

The Presentation of the Tatars and the Turks in the Legends Related to Miraculous Images/Icons of Our Lady in the 17-18th Centuries in the Eastern Territories of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
Authors: Barysenka Volha
Published: May 2022

The paper investigates how Christians of different denominations in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth described the Tatars and the Turks in the legends related to the miraculous image/icons of Virgin Mary. It includes both the use of topoi of Tatars devastating the icons during Tatar incursions in the 13-16 centuries, general vision of the Turks and Tatars by the 17 and 18-centuries’ authors, and presentation of them as military enemies in the setting of wars between the Ottoman Empire and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as well as reflection of these plots in the visual art. The research is based on the analysis of legends and miracles dating back to the 17-18th century and available visual material. It was shown that Christians of three main denominations –Orthodox, Catholics, Greek Catholics– represented the Turks and the Tatars in a similar way and the representation corresponded to the representation of other military enemies independently of religious believes.
Dancing for the Dead: muu Dancers in Egyptian New Kingdom Scenes
Authors: Bueno Guardia Miriam
Published: May 2022

Muu dancers are one of the most common elements in the funerary processions represented in the private Theban tombs of the New Kingdom, especially in the 18th dynasty. This paper aims to analyse the main characteristics of the representation of these male individuals that appear only on private tombs located in different necropolises. It will also try to understand the ritual meaning of these dancers through the attested images, an enigmatic procedure that has been interpreted in different ways by several authors. In addition, the distribution of these scenes both inside and outside the Theban necropolis will be analysed to understand the diffusion of this type of representations during the Egyptian New Kingdom.

Thus, firstly I will make a description of the funerary processions painted or engraved on the walls of the private tombs. Secondly, I will describe the muu dancers following Brunner-Traut’s classification and include the representations attested, comparing them to analyse the common features of these male dancers.
Reused From Banquet to Grave: Gold Glass, a “Popular” Medium in Late Antiquity?
Authors: Croci Chiara
Published: May 2022

Gold glass bottoms generally found in Roman catacombs, are some of late antiquity’s most enigmatic objects. Originally conceived as vessels, once they were broken, their bases were reemployed to be embedded in the mortar sealing of the slabs of certain loculi. Drawing on the different hypotheses on the origins of the bowls or glasses these bottoms were obtained from, and reflecting on the reasons for and ways of using these glass bottoms to decorate loculi, this paper aims to reassess the position of gold glass in the culture of late antiquity by questioning its pertinence or link to "popular" culture.

Published: May 2022

Based on the solvothermal method, two new MOFs with 3-(1-Oxo-1H-2,3-dihydroisoindol-2-yl)benzoic acid as the organic ligand, Zn-HBPA and Zn-bpy-HBPA were synthesized. The structure of MOFs was characterized by 1H-NMR, XRD, FT-IR and SEM. A series of modified cellulose paper-based functional materials with different spraying times were prepared by flame spraying method, and the fluorescence property of MOFs modified cellulose paper to EtOH small molecules was investigated by fluorescence spectrometer. The results of FT-IR and SEM showed that the flame spraying method could effectively improve the retention rate of MOFs on cellulose paper materials. The PL characterization results displayed that Zn-HBPA@PFP exhibited a decrease in fluorescence after UV irradiation, while Zn-bpy-HBPA@PFP demenstrated an increase in fluorescence at λ=338 nm. The above results indicated that Zn-bpy-HBPA@PFP had an excellent response ability to EtOH small molecules, and when Cycle=7 times, Zn-bpy-HBPA@PFP had the best fluorescence enhancement effect.

Authors: Njonjo Ann , Njeru Winnie , Kibera Francis , Owino Joseph
Published: May 2022

Despite the increasing number of firms pursuing the export market, little is known about the moderating role of industry competition in the marketing strategy and export performance link. The majority of the studies have focused solely on the direct relationships between two variables at a time and overlooked potential moderating factors that could influence export performance. To address this gap in the literature, this study solicited responses from 100 fresh produce export firms. Primary data was collected using a structured questionnaire. The overall objective of the study was to determine the influence of industry competition on the relationship between marketing strategies and the export performance of fresh produce firms in Kenya. The specific objectives were to establish the influence of product strategies on export performance of fresh produce firms; assess the effect of price strategies on export performance of fresh produce firms; examine the effect of promotion strategies on export performance of fresh produce firms; examine the influence of place strategies on export performance and to determine the moderating role of industry competition on the relationship between marketing strategies and export performance of fresh produce firms. The study outcome revealed that industry competition influenced export performance through marketing strategies. Findings from the study build on the industrial organization economic theory which postulates that the long-term profitability and attractiveness of an industry can be explained by the strength of all five forces together. Likewise, empirical findings recommend that managers should identify opportunities and threats within the industry and subsequently use this information to formulate marketing strategies.

Published: May 2022

Neuropathic pain (NP) is a dreadful disease of the somatosensory nervous system with many etiologies. The antidepressant drug is recommended as the first-line drug for the management of such pain. Duloxetine (DXH) is one of the classes of antidepressant drugs having an efficient use in mild to severe pain management. There are many clinical studies conducted on DXH and tested for its effectiveness in NP. For this review articles were collected from PubMed, Science Direct, goggle scholar, and other relevant sites. This review is based on the recently updated articles on duloxetine. The inclusion criteria for this was an English, clinical study with a year of publication between mostly 2010-2020, the DXH and its treatment of NP, comparison of DXH with another drug for the treatment of NP. The only exclusion criteria for this review is the preclinical study. The study design (randomized, cross-sectional, double-blinded), compound DXH regime, outcome measure of the study, and the efficacy were taken into consideration. The present review focused on the molecular targets, challenges, formulation development, comparison with some other drugs in terms of therapeutic benefits, and tolerance with the safety issue of DXH. It was found that DXH provides impactful relief from pain but still modification in the treatment strategies for NP is required.
Role of the NLRP3 Inflammasome in Periodontal Disease: A Tour d'horizon
Authors: Koppolu Pradeep , Abdulsalam Rasheed
Published: May 2022

The NLRP3 inflammasome is a vital component of the innate immune system that mediates caspase-1 activation and secretion of the proinflammatory cytokines, namely interleukins (IL-1/IL-18), in retort to microbial infection such as periodontal pathogens. Secretion of IL-1β is a major component of periodontal tissue inflammation and a crucial cause of periodontal disease. The conversion of pro-IL-1β into its biologically active form is controlled by inflammasomes such as NLRP3. Nevertheless, uncontrolled NLRP3 activation may cause several inflammatory disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, periodontitis, diabetes, and atherosclerosis. NLRP3 activation may be caused due to various stimuli, leading to multiple molecular and cellular events. Drugs targeting the various steps in these events may provide a solution to the aberrant NLRP3 activation. In this review, we have investigated the various mechanisms of NLLRP3 activation and the various drugs which have exhibited its inhibition.

無遮蔽的鄉痛造形：論臺灣當代生態藝術中的人類世問題
Authors: 龔卓軍 龔卓軍
Published: May 2022

保羅．阿登納（Paul Ardenne）在他的生態藝術論述中，反省了「生態藝術」定義上的困難，並視之為一種正在生成的藝術。除了藝術家在自然地景中工作，而成為無遮蔽戶外空間中的「地景藝術」外，在造形上，依據廣義的「鄉痛症」（solastalgia）的線索，而記錄生態危機、譴責人類活動破壞生態的藝術行動，也成為生態藝術的重要特徵。最後，還有以關懷照顧為驅動力的藝術表現，針對不同物種與環境生態的維護與復甦，也屬於當代生態藝術的造形原則。本文在生態記錄式的藝術行為之外，選擇針對「鄉痛症」的生態藝術造形，突顯「人類世」（anthropocene）問題叢結的複雜性，並提出台灣當代生態藝術與河川污染、海岸開發和族群生態文化復振等問題的內在關聯，並指出「當代原民藝術」這個概念的不足，以生態藝術觀點加以補充。

 

In his statement of ecological art, Paul Ardenne reflects on the difficulties of defining “eco-art” and treats it as a kind of becoming art. Beyond the traditional definition of “eco-art” as artist working in natural landscape and their works become landscape art in the open air, the main characteristic of eco-art and its plasticity, for Ardenne, depends on how it recording the ecological crisis and disputing the ecocidal human activities in responding the clues of soastalgia with artivist form. And finally, in his eco-art thoughts of plastic principle, the artistic expressions of caring and curing of diverse living beings and recovering and sustaining the ecosystem environment are also important eco-art’s feature. After introducing the kind of artistic recording the ecological crisis, this paper aims specifically at the eco-art plasticity of solastalgia for featuring the complicated problematic of Anthropocene. Revealing of the scenario of Taiwan contemporary arts, this paper will also take many eco-art events as examples which focused on river management, coastal area development and renovation of indigenous ecological knowledge including their inner relationships. The last point of this paper will point out the conceptual flaw of “contemporary indigenous art” for it needs the complementary pairing of the concept “ecological art”.

Authors: Hjiri Marwen , Freire Dormeier Alexandre
Published: May 2022

This work aims to study the potential role of Artificial Intelligence in customized learning. The rationale behind this particular topic relies on two factors. First of all, the need to highlight the importance of the educational eco-system in Qatar as it considers all levels of education starting from kindergarten to university and higher studies. Education in Qatar has achieved a significant advancement in various areas after adopting independent school systems with international practices and allowing students to join top-ranked universities worldwide. Secondly, the need to find a way to combine Artificial Intelligence (AI) with education to explore the potential of AI in adaptive learning in Qatar. The results show that the utilization of AI in adaptive learning seems to be promising in advancing the quality of education in an unstable instruction setting, such as the experience of the COVID-19 pandemic and the prospect of implementing a versatile education.
Impact of Stevia rebaudiana Culturing in Liquid Medium: Elevation of Yield and Biomass, Mitigation of Steviol Glycosides
Authors: Javed Rabia , Yücesan Buhara
Published: May 2022

An efficient micropropagation system is developed by culturing nodal segments containing the axillary shoot buds on liquid Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium. Direct shoot and root formation are highly effective in both solid and liquid MS media without any plant growth regulators (PGRs). Interestingly, a significant difference in yield is obtained between solid and liquid cultures. It is revealed that a relatively higher amount of plant biomass is obtained after culturing for 4 weeks in a liquid MS medium. However, the shoots produced on solid MS medium produce a remarkable decline in all physiological parameters. On contrary, the bioactive steviol glycosides (rebaudioside-A and stevioside) content is higher in shoots grown in solid MS on a comparative basis, which could be compensated by higher yield. After hardening off, all the regenerants are effectively grown in the field with a negligible loss (<1 %), and steviol glycosides spectra is again obtained by conducting high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis after 10 weeks of the plantation. This method has great potential to be applied on large scale in bioreactors.

In any infectious disease outbreak, early diagnosis, isolation of cases and quarantine of contacts are central to disease containment. In Brunei Darussalam, suspected cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) were quarantined either at home or at designated centres and were tested immediately for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. We report on 10 cases of COVID-19 that initially tested negative for COVID-19 and were positive on re-testing after becoming symptomatic. These cases comprised 3.8% of the 266 total confirmed COVID-19 cases in Brunei Darussalam as of 9 July 2021, when this study was conducted. All the cases were in quarantine at home and were tested early during their quarantine period. Since then, home quarantine has been replaced by quarantine at designated centres only, with testing on the 12th day of quarantine.

Objective: Aged-care facilities are high-risk settings for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreaks because residents have risk factors such as advanced age and multiple comorbidities. This report details a COVID-19 outbreak at an aged-care facility in Selangor, Malaysia during March–April 2020. Methods: Epidemiological and environmental data were gathered via telephone interviews and field investigations. Swab samples were taken from all residents and staff for laboratory investigation. Possible contributing factors to the outbreak were explored. Results: There were a total of 18 individuals at the institution: nine elderly residents and nine staff. The attack rate was 66.67% (6/9) among the elderly residents and 55.56% (5/9) among the staff. The most common symptoms reported were fever, cough, shortness of breath and diarrhoea. The fatality rate among COVID-19 cases was 18.18% (2/11). Both fatal cases occurred in people of advanced age (86 and 92 years old), who had comorbidities and had fever at presentation. The factors contributing to the outbreak included a delay in isolating symptomatic residents, the use of common facilities, caregivers providing support to more than one resident and a lack of natural ventilation. Discussion: Prevention and control measures must be aggressively implemented in high-risk sites to significantly reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality during COVID-19 outbreaks. Specific guidelines should be developed detailing the management of outbreaks in institutions such as aged-care facilities.

In response to the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Japan, a national COVID-19 cluster taskforce (comprising governmental and nongovernmental experts) was established to support the country’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in conducting daily risk assessment. The assessment was carried out using established infectious disease surveillance systems; however, in the initial stages of the pandemic these were not sufficient for real-time risk assessment owing to limited accessibility, delay in data entry and inadequate case information. Also, local governments were publishing anonymized data on confirmed COVID-19 cases on their official websites as daily press releases. We developed a unique database for nationwide real-time risk assessment that included these case lists from local government websites and integrated all case data into a standardized format. The database was updated daily and checked systematically to ensure comprehensiveness and quality. Between 15 January 2020 and 15 June 2021, 776 459 cases were logged in the database, allowing for analysis of real-time risk from the pandemic. This semi-automated database was used in daily risk assessments, and to evaluate and update control measures to prevent community transmission of COVID-19 in Japan. The data were reported almost every week to the Japanese Government Advisory Panel on COVID-19 for public health responses.
Efeitos do fogo na vegetação florestal e implicações na interceptação das chuvas: Maciço da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro (RJ)

A ocorrência de incêndios é responsável pela degradação florestal, modificando a estrutura da vegetação e a interceptação da água da chuva. Busca-se analisar os efeitos de incêndios recorrentes sobre áreas florestadas no Maciço da Tijuca, RJ. O fogo se tornou o principal fator na seleção de espécies. As alterações na parte aérea da vegetação influenciaram a interceptação da água das chuvas, que foi elevada em todos os ecossistemas, por conta do estudo ter sido realizado em período de pouca precipitação. As áreas colonizadas por alta densidade de capim tiveram a maior interceptação. Estes dados parecem refletir a incapacidade de medir a entrada de água no solo a partir das partes aéreas do capim. O corte no capim reduziu significativamente a interceptação, mostrando que a retirada da vegetação tende a aumentar a chegada de água no solo, favorecendo o escoamento superficial. O papel de espécies herbáceas em alta densidade aumentando a interceptação também foi observado em área queimada intensamente. Conclui-se que os incêndios estão levando à substituição das florestas por formações degradadas e afetando a entrada de água nos ecossistemas, o que tende a ampliar a suscetibilidade a movimentos de massa rasos.

Este estudo teve por objetivo demonstrar os impactos que podem afetar a saúde mental e autoestima, da mulher que sofreu algum tipo de violência, distanciando-a de se socializar. Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa, com coleta retrospectiva de dados. As palavras-chave utilizadas foram determinadas a partir da escolha do tema explorado: Violência contra mulher; Violência de gênero; Saúde Mental. Os dados foram coletados por meio da seleção de artigos científicos publicados no período de 2011 a 2021 em periódicos indexados nos bancos de dados da Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), do PubMed e Science Direct. Foram recuperados 1.067 artigos, dos quais 902 foram excluídos após a seleção de títulos e resumos. Totalizou 165 artigos completos avaliados com elegibilidade e 42 relacionados diretamente a violência contra mulher. Destes, foram identificados 16 trabalhos relacionados a mulheres que sofreram algum tipo de violência, dos quais foram sintetizados e incluídos na revisão. A violência contra a mulher carrega sua problematização com origem em processos histórico-sociais de diferenciação de gênero, trazendo assim particularidades que merecem destaque devido ao impacto causado à saúde pública mundial. As razões pelas quais as mulheres são agredidas por parceiros íntimos, são por domínio sobre a mulher, chefia familiar, provisão do lar e sexualidade exacerbada. Todos esses rótulos aliados ao convívio com a violência doméstica, seja da mãe e/ou de si mesma, conduzem as mulheres a ocupar um espaço estabelecido pelo patriarcado e machismo intrínsecos nas bases familiares conservadoras que persiste em continuar existindo. Esses fatores contribuem de forma brutal para que a mulher desenvolva transtornos psicológicos, tais como depressão, ansiedade, transtorno de estresse pós-traumático, abuso de substâncias psicoativas e comportamentos suicidas e sugerindo impactos no desenvolvimento de crianças que presenciam ou convivem com essas agressões, ficando também expostas a agressões. O desenvolvimento de transtornos psicológicos nessas mulheres extrapola a violência em si até os conceitos morais e sociais da sociedade que dificultam a superação das agressões. Esses resultados exibem a necessidade de desenvolver atividades públicas educativas e, principalmente, de mantê-las alinhadas aos posicionamentos, decisões e discussões da pauta feminista. Como destacado, o movimento feminista é um idealizador, constante protetor das mulheres e desenvolvedor de práticas de equidade de gênero.
