Published: July 2020

This study investigates the nexus between career commitment, adaptability and motivation, and the mediation role of career adaptability on the relationships between career commitment and motivation. Data were collected randomly from marketers working in the telecommunication sector in the Kurdistan region of Iraq through online questionnaires. There were 121 out of 285 forms received and analyzed using the structural equation modeling approach. The findings indicate that both career commitment and adaptability have direct effects on career motivation. Furthermore, a mediation effect of career adaptability was identified in the relationship between career commitment and motivation. The findings of the study contribute to the career motivation literature by investigating the effects of individual factors, namely career commitment and career adaptability, on career motivation in the context of developing countries. The study also points out the compound effect of these factors on career motivation.
Investigation of the lateral channel migration: A case study of the South Morava River (Serbia)
Authors: Langovic Marko
Published: July 2020

The morphological evolution of the fluvial relief in the lowland areas is
determined by the dynamic of the lateral channel migration process. River
meandering and lateral channel migration represent continuous, dynamic and
complex processes, which intensity modifies alluvial plains. Accordingly, it
is a current topic observed from the domain of various scientific
disciplines and practices, including the geographical aspect of the study.
Directly or indirectly, variations of natural and anthropogenic processes
affect changes in the lateral migration intensity, which is later manifested
through permanent consequences for the environment. The aim of this paper is
to investigate the process of lateral channel migration, through the review
and interpretation of theoretical and methodological concepts and results of
contemporary scientific literature. In this paper, on specific sections of
the South Morava River (Serbia), the values of maximum lateral migration
over different time periods are determined. Three representative river
sectors were singled out, spatial and temporal dynamic was determined, while
the process of lateral channel migration was presented quantitatively and
graphically. Based on the obtained data, a comparative analysis showed
significant riverbank changes for the observed meanders, within the period
1924-2020. Special emphasis is on the analysis of the lateral channel
migration in the last decade of the mentioned period. The obtained results
can be further used in order to develop and implement plans of water and
land management, environmental protection and socio-economic development
strategies.
Various aspects of dryness in Serbia
Authors: Kutiel Haim , Lukovic Jelena
Published: July 2020

In this manuscript we analyze daily rainfall observational records from 22
weather stations located in different regions over Serbia in the period
1949-2007. We examine the characteristics of dryness by using the Dry Days
Since Last Rain - DDSLR approach. In order to quantify the DDSLR we use
three metrics for each weather station: severity, consistency and
uncertainty. Results show that these three metrics vary independently of
each other as well as that there is a weak relationship between them.
Weather stations in the northern parts of Serbia, with moderate annual
amount of rainfall less than 650 mm, present higher dryness conditions
whereas the lowest values were obtained for central parts in Serbia. Limited
number of studies examined drying tendencies in Serbia and neighboring
countries so far. We consider Serbia as an area of particular interest
because of its position in a frontier between Mediterranean conditions on
the southwest and the continental inland.

Published: July 2020

Urban meteorological network (UMN) was established in the Central European
City of Novi Sad (Serbia) based on "local climate zones" (LCZs) system.
Physiologically Equivalent Temperature (PET) index was used for the
assessment of outdoor thermal comfort in the "built" and "land cover" LCZ
classes of Novi Sad. The index was calculated in the RayMan software based
on the meteorological, physiological as well as building and vegetation
data. Temporal analysis was performed for extreme heat stress days (PETmax ?
41 ?C), extreme heat stress hours (PETav ? 41 ?C) and days with occurrence
of "tropical nights" (Tmin > 20 ?C) during exceptionally hot summer of 2015.
Our results show that extreme heat stress hours are the least frequent in
compact midrise LCZ 2, followed by dense trees LCZ A. On the contrary,
countryside (low plants - LCZ D) showed to be the most uncomfortable area
during daytime followed by compact low-rise areas (LCZ 3). Tropical nights
are the most frequent in midrise LCZs 5 and 2 (40-46 nights) and decreasing
towards open, sparsely built and natural LCZs (6-8 tropical nights in LCZs A
and D). This is almost 800% decrease and it has implications for health and
recreation of urban population and emphasizes the need for UMN development
based on LCZ system.

Authors: Savic Stevan , Geletic Jan , Milosevic Dragan , Lehnert Michal
Published: July 2020

In this study, the Local Climate Zones (LCZs) in Novi Sad, the second largest
city in Serbia, are analysed as to surface temperature differences. The LCZs
were delineated on the basis of the GIS-based method created by Geletic &
Lehnert (2016). Land Surface Temperatures (LSTs) were derived from the
satellites Terra, sensor ASTER, and LANDSAT-8. The thermal images were
provided at a similar time (at about 9.30 AM) between 2002 and 2008 (ASTER)
and between 2013 and 2017 (LANDSAT-8). Statistical analyses, including the
analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey-HSD test, were employed to reveal LST
differences between the LCZs. The results indicate that in 84% of cases
there were significant differences in LST between pairs of LCZs. Temperature
differences between LCZs were the most pronounced in the summer season. In
general, 8 (large low-rise), 10 (heavy industry), 2 (compact midrise) and 3
(compact low-rise) LCZs had the highest surface temperatures in Novi Sad.
Contrary to this, LCZs A (dense trees), B (scattered trees) G (water bodies)
were the coolest zones.
Self-orienting armillary dial of the Professor Radovan Danic
Authors: Tadic Milutin , Prnjat Zorica
Published: July 2020

Prof. Radovan Danic, PhD (1893-1979), an honorary lifetime President of the
Astronomical Society Rudjer Boskovic in Belgrade, owned a brass universal
equinoctial ring sundial (98 mm in diameter), preserved by his descendants,
who continued his work on popularizing astronomy through the activities of
the society. The sundial (ring dial) was measured, tested and compared to
similar portable sundials (pocket sundials) exhibited in various European
museums. In the classification scheme, along with the Parmenion?s and
astronomical rings, it belongs to a group of pocket armillary sundials that
do not require a compass. More precisely, it is a self-orienting armillary
sundial whose rings are located under the circles of the celestial sphere of
the same name at the moment of measurement. Therefore, when the apparent
solar time is known, it turns into a solar compass. A corresponding sundial
on the horizon to the self-orienting armillary sundial is the analemmatic
sundial. The construction of a self-orienting armillary sundial was first
described in the late 16th century by the English mathematician William
Oughtred (1574-1660). In collaboration with the gnomonists from England and
Austria, we determined where and when Professor Danic?s sundial was
constructed: Vienna, second quarter of the 18th century. Originally, the
sundial was adjusted for the latitude of Belgrade or Zemun (nowadays, a
Belgrade municipality), which were under the Austrian rule for a long time
during the 18th century. It is a beautiful, well-crafted, well-preserved,
expensive sundial and astronomical instrument that should be kept in a
museum, in the first place in the Museum of Astronomy of the Astronomical
Observatory in Belgrade.

Published: July 2020

Introduction. The flow of endodontic sealer (ES) is the property that
characterizes its velocity along the certain surface and depends on the
friction force. The aim of this research was to measure the flow rate of
three zinc oxide eugenol based ES?s in various consistencies exposed to the
load of 2 kg. Material and methods. The experimental group included prepared
samples of sealers protocoled by ADA specification No. 57 A) Endomethasone N
in liquid:powder ratio of 1:5, 1:6, 1:7 (standard), 1:8 and 1:9 according to
the manufacturer brochure depending on the clinical situation; B) Roth 801
as 1:7 (standard) and 1:8 mixtures C) Tubliseal EWT as standard preparation
(base-catalyst 1:1). A volume of 0.05 ml sealer was spread on the glass
plate and upon applying the load of 2 kg the diameter of sealer was
measured. In the control group the sealer samples were loaded only by the
weight of glass plate (0.1kg). Results. Based on measured diameters of
sealers, all of them satisfied ADA requirements for the flow (d>20mm)
(Endomethasone - 20.7-27.8 mm; Roth 801- 29.6-30.0 mm; Tubliseal -39.9 mm).
The thin consistency of sealers (1:5, 1:6) showed significantly higher flow
than standard mixture (1:7) (p < 0.05). Conclusion. Tubliseal EWT sealer
showed the highest flow rate, significantly different than standard mixtures
(1:7) of Endomethasone N and Roth 801.

National and State-Level Trends in Non-Traumatic Lower Extremity Amputation Among U.S. Medicare Beneficiaries With Diabetes, 2000-2017
Authors: Harding Jessica L , Andes Linda J , Rolka Deborah B , Imperatore Giuseppina , Gregg Edward W , Li Yanfeng , Albright Ann
Published: July 2020

Objective

Diabetes is a leading cause of non-traumatic lower extremity amputation
(NLEA) in the United States. After a period of decline, some national US data
show that diabetes-related NLEA have recently increased, particularly among
young and middle-aged adults. However, the trend for older adults is less
clear.

Research Design and Methods

To
examine NLEA trends among older adults with diabetes (≥67 years), we used 100%
Medicare claims for beneficiaries enrolled in Parts A and B, also known as Fee
for Service (FFS). NLEA was defined as the highest-level amputation per patient
per calendar year. Annual NLEA rates were estimated from 2000 to 2017 and
stratified by age group, sex, race/ethnicity, NLEA level (toe, foot, below the
knee (BKA), above the knee (AKA)), and state. All rates were age and sex
standardized to the 2000 Medicare population. Trends over time were assessed
using Joinpoint regression and annual percent change (APC) reported.

Results

NLEA
rates (per 1,000 people with diabetes) decreased by half from 8.5 in 2000 to
4.4 in 2009 (APC -7.9, p-value<0.001). However, from 2009 onwards NLEA rates
increased to 4.8 (APC 1.2, p-value<0.01). Trends were similar across most age,
sex and race/ethnic groups, however absolute rates were highest in the oldest
age groups, blacks and men. By NLEA type, overall increases were driven by
increases in rates of toe and foot NLEAs while BKA and AKA continued to decline.
The majority of US states showed recent increases in NLEA, similar to national
estimates.

Conclusions

This study of the US Medicare FFS population shows that recent
increases in diabetes-related NLEAs are also occurring in older populations but
at a less severe rate than among younger adults (<65 years) in the general
population. Preventive foot care has been shown to reduce rates of NLEA among
adults with diabetes, and the findings of the study suggest that those with
diabetes – across the age spectrum – could benefit by increased attention to
this strategy.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between academic environment, peer relationship, time management and psychological well-being among final year students in Universiti Putra Malaysia. The study also determines the level of each stressor, and the relationship between each independent variable (academic environment, peer relationship, time management) and dependent variable (psychological well-being) among final year students. Besides, this study also Respondents were 333 final year students who study at Faculty of Human Ecology (FEM), Faculty of Economic and Management (FEP), and Faculty of Engineering (FK). They were selected based on Proportionate stratified random sampling. A self-administered questionnaire was used as a tool for data collection. University Environment Scale (Gloria and Karpius, 1996), Index of Peer Relationship (Walter W. Hudson, 1992), The Time Management Behavior Scale (Macan, 1990), and were used to measure academic environment, peer relationship, time management respectively. Dependent variable which was psychological well-being was measured by using Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 21 (DASS 21) which developed by Lovibond and Lovibond’s in year 1995. The results showed that majority of student had moderate level of perception to academic environment, setting goal and priorities, planning and scheduling, perceived control over time, preference for disorganization, overall time management behaviour and moderate level on depression. Besides, most of majority student have low peer relationship, extremely severe anxiety, and had normal stress. There is significant correlation between academic environment and depression (r=0.149**). Respectively, peer relationship was found have significant relationship with the psychological well-being subscales: depression (r=-0.468***), anxiety (r=0.374***), and stress (r=0.441***). Time management also have significant relationship between depression (r=-0.189***), anxiety (r=0.207***), and stress (r=0.197***). Academic environment have no significant relationship between anxiety (p>0.05) and stress (p>0.05). The study concluded that peer relationship (PR), and time management (TM) have significant predictor towards depression (ΒPR=0.458; ΒTM=0.233), anxiety (ΒPR =0.407; ΒTM =0.209), and stress (ΒPR=0.463; ΒTM=0.212) among final year students. Among the two predictors, peer relationship was found have most significant towards depression, anxiety, and stress of final year student, followed by time management. Study suggested that university should develop intention program, appropriate counselling service to student. Besides, student should learn good time management skills and habit in order to develop positive psychological well-being. Future study are encourage to include more possible sources of student psychological well-being, add more size of sample and apply different data collection tools for deeper investigation.

Digital marketing telah berkembang dengan sangat pesat sejak penggunaan Internet yang tinggi. Tingkat penggunaan ini dipicu dengan kehadiran smartphone dengan harga yang sangat terjangkau.  Tetapi penggunaan digital marketing tidak banyak disadari oleh pelaku bisnis, terutama para UKM di kota Sawahlunto. Kebanyakan UKM di kota ini beranggapan bahwa digital marketing merupakan tempat untuk terjadinya transaksi, hal ini berbeda jauh dengan pengertian sebenarnya dari digital marketing. Karena digital marketing ini merupakan pemanfaatan semua sumberdaya yang berada pada Internet sebagai tempat pemberian informasi mengenai produk-produk yang dimiliki oleh UKM. Sumberdaya yang dimanfaatkan oleh UKM tidak hanya sebatas pada situs pemasaran, tetapi juga termasuk media sosial yang dimiliki oleh UKM tersebut. Media sosial yang digunakan untuk digital marketing tidak hanya tertumpu pada media sosial yang sengaja dibuat untuk UKM, juga media sosial yang dimiliki oleh pegawai/karyawan dari UKM tersebut. Sehingga pemasaran produk memiliki jangkauan yang lebih luas, dan dengan demikian penjualan produk dari UKM yang berada pada kota Sawahlunto juga meningkat.

Laila Lalami’s The Moor’s Account: A Lost Narrative
Authors: Ghufran Sanaila
Published: July 2020

From the earlier times the voices of the minorities especially the Muslims have been subjugated by the forces. Many of the texts written in the olden times, whether fictional or non-fictional hardly have any mention of Muslims in them. One such text being the historical account of the Narvaez expedition that took place in 1527, which was chronicled by Cabeza de Vaca, one of the four survivors of the expedition. What is surprising is that one of the survivors was an African slave, Estabanico but he is hardly mentioned in the original, despite being part of the expedition that stretched to eight year. Fast forward to the 21st century which is the age of postcolonialism and where the once oppressed communities are finally speaking about their truth, Moroccan author, Laila Lalami through her novel, The Moor’s Account decided to give voice and a backstory to the African slave, Estabanico. The current paper deals with the complexities of the novel and tries to provide reasons as to why Cabeza de Vaca intentionally omitted the Estabanico’s account of the travels. The paper also discusses the ingenuine use of narrative tools made by the author in the retelling of the story of a forgotten Muslim slave. It also narrates the importance of women characters in the Islamic culture of those days, when the western woman was not as liberated as she is today. Lastly, the paper draws a parallel between Estabanico’s condition during the expedition and that of the Muslim population in the post 9/11 world.
Self- Liberation Vs Self- Renunciation in Hedda Gabler
Authors: Swarna Ms.
Published: July 2020

Henrik Ibsen, by using Hedda as the heroine or anti-heroine of the play Hedda Gabler, was clearly attacking a culture which stifled women’s potential and fostered the feelings of entrapment and desperation that Hedda experiences. For all her flaws, the character of Hedda Gabler serves as a potent reminder of the individual’s complex relationship to society and how we today reconcile our own needs with the roles and responsibilities expected of us. In following Hedda’s psychological descent throughout the play, Ibsen was plainly criticizing the lack of acceptable life choices and opportunities for women in nineteenth-century society. The purpose of my research paper is to justify Hedda’s act of suicide as an act of self-liberation vs self-renunciation. Her downfall is ultimately her own doing-she makes the mistake of marrying George for the wrong reasons but she is also a heavily flawed character who unsuccessfully manipulates people in an attempt to negotiate her own weakness. She chooses death not because of any insight she has gained from her mistakes but because she cannot face the consequences of her action. Thus, Hedda’s death is tragic because it is an act of self-renunciation: she is free spirit who cannot be tamed by conventional society.
LLS use and Proficiency: Assamese ESL Learner’s Context
Authors: Kakoty Dr. Atonu
Published: July 2020

This paper studies the relationship of Language Learning Strategies (LLS) use and proficiency. Four hundred and fifty undergraduate Assamese ESL learners from three colleges of Dibrugarh University, Assam participated in the study. The aim of the paper is to investigate the relationship of Assamese ESL Learner’s use of LLS and reading and writing proficiency in English. A Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) based questionnaire is used to identify learner’s use of LLS and a reading and writing activity questionnaire is used to measure learner’s proficiency. The participants answered the instruments at the beginning of the experiment, followed by LLS instruction for four weeks and a post-test on the same questionnaires. The Pearson’s correlation analysis revealed significant positive correlation between the use of all the six types of LLS categories and learner’s proficiency in reading and writing, both in the pre and post-test context. The study recommends that LLS instruction should be integrated in the undergraduate ESL classrooms to increase learner’s proficiency in English.

Also, it has a blood donor search option, ambulance calling option, patient’s report view option, doctors ranking options etc. The doctors ranking is a special feature which was calculated based on doctor’s educational qualification, experience, average count of appointments made by patients and patient’s feedback. Feedback form real users showed that this information system was very helpful for them. If implemented countrywide, this system of digital healthcare may pave the way for an effective healthcare service in Bangladesh.
Impact and Post Impact Behavior of Hybrid Composites
Authors: Kadum Jassim Al-shamary Aidel
Published: July 2020

In this study, the effect of low velocity impact  response of Kevlar/carbon hybrid composite has been investigated. Then the impacted specimens were subjected to compression and buckling tests at room temperature experimentally. The height, width and thickness of the specimens are 150, 100 and 2.1 mm, respectively. Impact tests have been performed under different impact energy levels by using low velocity impact testing machine. Compression and buckling tests were conducted by Shimadzu testing machine. According to obtained results, the damage increases by increasing the impact energy level in the subjected specimens to impact test.  Compression strength value is higher about 3  times than buckling strength value.
