It was determined that Dianthus erinaceus var. alpinus not D. erinaceus (var. erinaceus) is a taxon, which is a synonym under Dianthus webbianus. Furthermore, the lectotypes were determined for Dianthus erinaceus and D. masmenaeus var. glabrescens, which was typed by being based on more than one specimen.
IN SILICO PROOFS FOR PHLORIDZIN, NARINGENIN, AND CINNAMIC ACID AS ALPHA-AMYLASE ACTIVATORS, WHICH IS IMPORTANT IN INDUSTRIAL MICROBIOLOGY OR BIOCHEMICAL ENGINEERING
Authors: ALTUNER Ergin Murat
Published: June 2023

Enzymes are commonly defined as biological catalysts, regulating particular biochemical reactions. α-Amylase (EC 3.2.1.1) is one of the industrially important enzymes, which are extensively used in starch hydrolyzing processes, such as brewing, fermentation, detergent production, food processing, etc. This enzyme breaks down α-1,4 glycosidic bonds in amylose or amylopectin. The end products from amylose are maltotriose and maltose. Maltose, glucose, and limit dextrin are formed from amylopectin. There are many studies in the literature regarding the α-amylase inhibitors, which have the potentials of being used in diabetes and obesity. However, there is a very limited number of studies in the literature about the activation of this enzyme, which could be harmful to such diseases. This study aims to support the activation activity of phloridzin, naringenin, and cinnamic acid for α-amylase, which was previously proved experimentally, with some in silico tests.

SOCIAL EFFECT OF SOCIAL MEDIA REVEALED IN THE SOCIAL DILEMMA DOCUMENTARY MOVIE: POST-TRUTH PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Iddianto Iddianto , Azi Rahmawati
Published: June 2023

Social media has been a platform to create any social effect in society. Social media is not only utilized to spread useful information, but also misinformation, such as fake news, rumor bombs, and lying intentionally. The Social Dilemma is one of the movies that revealed the social effect of social media, such as; Twitter, Facebook, Tik-Tok, Youtube, and Instagram. These platforms become the center of spreading misinformation, particularly in the midst of pandemic Covid-19 by manipulating real facts and public opinion. This study tried to scrutinize the spreading of misinformation revealed in The Social Dilemma movie through the Post-Truth perspective. Post-Truth believed that the use of social media to disseminate misinformation is related to social, political, and economic interests. People no longer respect the truth but accept it based on what they feel and believe, and social media has become a useful tool to fulfill this function. This study attested that misinformation spread by several social media users and politicians caused social effects such as chaos in the midst of a pandemic, destruction of 5G network towers, the formation of new truths based on misinformation about Covid-19 as a hoax, and the formation of public opinion regarding the Democratic party as the spreader of the Covid-19 virus in the US.

Authors: Sameeni Maleeha Shahid , Qadeer Faisal , Shahid Sana , Khurram Mehreen
Published: June 2023

Despite existing studies on negative consumer-brand relationships, understanding of extreme negative states, such as brand betrayal and brand hate, is still in the infancy stage. The current study addresses this crucial gap by investigating the effect of brand betrayal on brand hate and subsequent consumer behaviors. Specifically, it examines the effect of two different forms of betrayal (i.e., performance versus value-based betrayal) in influencing brand hate and unfavorable consumer behaviors (i.e., vindictive complaining and boycotting). The study respondents were recruited and surveyed online via Prolific. The sample included 391 responses which were further divided into two groups, i.e., one who suffered from performance-based betrayal and the other from value-based betrayal. The findings reveal a significant positive association of brand betrayal with brand hate, vindictive complaining, and consumer boycott. Interestingly, the magnitude of the effects of value-based brand betrayal is greater than that of performance-based betrayal. Moreover, brand hate is significantly associated with vindictive complaining and consumer boycotts. The findings enrich negative consumer-brand relationship literature and provide managerial guidance for devising effective strategies for brand transgressions.

Authors: Tariq  , Iqbal Javid , Haq Zahoor-Ul -
Published: June 2023

The River Swat is one of Pakistan's interior rivers, lying in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Despite being semi-dry, the area is a significant grain and fruit-producing area. However, persistent drought in recent years, along with excessive water extraction, has resulted in a constant decline of water pouring into the Swat River's mainstream, resulting in serious deterioration of ecosystems along the river's lower reaches. Water pricing is the best tool to control the misuse of water resources and will lead to the optimum use of this very precious resource. 300 farmers were chosen randomly and a preliminary test of the quantitative questionnaire was conducted before data collection to ensure clarity. To analyze the quantitative dataset Multinomial Logistic Regression, a version of ordinary regression was used. Farmers in the study area who face a 100% rise in water prices were polled to gauge their reactions. The results reveal that factors that are "total land area", "age", "total farm income", "slight water shortage", & "presence of fruit plants" are statistically significant. According to the finding, many farmers reacted to the rise in irrigation water prices and they were ready to use irrigation water more efficiently. This study also observed and concluded that just raising the irrigation water price is not a realistic and permanent solution.
Centre-Province Relations in Pakistan: A Case Study of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (2008-2013)
Authors: Ahmad Rashid , Khan Yunas
Published: June 2023

Pakistan is a multi-ethnic state, and as such, there has been a federal structure since its creation in 1947 to address ethnic issues effectively. The center-province relations have, however, suffered many ups and downs on certain issues, such as provincial autonomy and distribution of financial resources. The study in hand aims to investigate the relations between the Provincial Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the Federal Government of Pakistan at the center from 2008 to 2013. The focus here is on the PPPP-led government at the center and the ANP-led government in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. The study proves that there was a significant improvement in the center-province relations in the case of the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa during the period under study. The introduction of the 18th Amendment to the constitution of Pakistan settled the longstanding issues of provincial autonomy and replaced the colonial name of the Province of North-West Frontier Province with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. In the financial sphere, the 7th National Finance Commission (NFC) Award was a major achievement that enhanced the provincial share in financial resources. However, differences in the net-hydel profit could not be settled.

Authors: Shaheen Muhammad Aamir , Hayyat Asghar , Aslam Shoaib , Shahbaz Muhammad Arif
Published: June 2023

This study explores the role of Technical Support (TS) and Leadership Support (LS) in enhancing Employee Performance (EP) through the development of a Culture of Continuous Learning (CCL) in the Technical Education and Vocational Training (TEVT) sector of southern Punjab. Data from 291 TEVT trainers were analyzed using Smart PLS4. The results show that TS and LS have a positive impact on CCL, leading to improved EP. Employee Engagement (EE) moderates these effects, revealing barriers such as overwhelmed employees, limited relevance of learning programs, and a perceived lack of support and recognition. To overcome these challenges, organizations can provide support structures like mentoring and coaching. These findings emphasize the importance of TS, LS, and CCL in enhancing EP in the TEVT sector and suggest further research to explore additional factors for improved employee performance in resource-constrained environments.

Published: June 2023

This study had the objective to evaluate the effect of irrigation and fertigation (N) in the crop yield and its impact on the total cost, in addition to its influence on the conductivity hydraulic capacity and logarithmic hydraulic conductivity in an Oxisol under vinasse application cultivated with sugarcane (second year), in state of Goiás, Brazil. The experimental design comprised randomized blocks in a 5 × 2 factorial scheme, with four replications. Treatments consisted of five levels of water replacement (100, 75, 50, 25 and 0%), with and without fertirrigation (N). The planting of sugarcane, cultivar RB85-5453, was performed in a double row (W-shaped), 8 m long, with 1.80 m spacing between the double rows, the distance between the crops in the double row was 0.40 m, with a total area of 52.8 m2 in each paddock. For treatments with water, replacement (WR) a drip tube was placed in the ground at a depth of 0.20 m among the furrows of the double row. The drip tube (DRIPNET PC 16150) comprised a thin wall, 1.0 bar pressure, nominal discharge 1.0 L h-1, and 0.50 m spacing between drippers. Nitrogen was applied by fertirrigation at a dose of 100 Kg ha-1, at 30-day intervals, with 10 applications throughout the development of the sugarcane culture. Potassium fertilization was fully realized at planting. The total cost with irrigation did not increase significantly with fertirrigation (< 3%) in an Oxisol under vinasse application.

Published: June 2023

Introduction:

Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) has become a popular option for the surgical management of rotator cuff arthropathy and complex fractures of the proximal humerus. However, there is a paucity of studies evaluating outcomes, especially between patients of different age groups. The purpose of this study was to compare functional outcomes and survivorship between patients older than 65 years (o65) and those 65 years and younger (y65).

Methods:

A retrospective review was conducted at a single academic medical center identifying a consecutive cohort of patients undergoing rTSA between 2018 and 2020. The minimum follow-up time was 2 years. Patients were stratified into two groups for comparative analyses (y65 and o65). Patient demographics, perioperative and postoperative data, and functional outcomes were collected. A Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was conducted to determine survivorship, defined as revision surgery or implant failure.

Results:

Forty-eight patients were included for final analysis. Nineteen patients comprised the y65 group while 29 patients comprised the o65 group. No difference was observed in Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand scores at baseline nor at the latest follow-up between the two groups. Patients in the y65 group had significantly greater internal and external rotation (IR/ER) from 3 months to 2 years compared with patients in the o65 group (P ≤ 0.05). Finally, there were no differences in revision surgery rates between the y65 group and the o65 group (11% vs. 14%, P = 1.0). A KM survival analysis revealed no difference in implant failure, necessitating revision surgery between the two groups at the latest follow-up (P = 0.69).

Discussion:

Despite a notable difference in the number of baseline comorbidities, there were no notable differences in functional outcomes, survivorship, and revision surgery rates between each cohort. Although both groups had a similar function initially, by 3 months postoperatively, the y65 group had markedly greater range of motion in IR and ER. Longer term survivorship is needed; however, rTSA may offer a reliable option for shoulder reconstruction even in the y65 patient group.
Methode(n) und Anwendung des Visualtrainings in der Praxis bei Patient*innen mit zentralen Gesichtsfelddefekten
Authors: Lahne Johanna , Kunert Kathleen S.
Published: June 2023

Purpose. The aim of this clinical study is to discuss eccentric viewing training for patients with central visual field defects. Material and Methods. In order to improve the usability of optical or electronic magnifying aids and to regain reading skills, eccentric viewing training may be necessary in patients with central scotoma. Based on the visual training of Nilsson et al.1, we carried out a training with two rehabilitees at the Regiomed Rehabilitation Clinic Masserberg using simple self- made aids (optical magnification by means of overaddition and illuminated magnifying glasses; prepared exercise sheets with different texts/font sizes). We were able to find an area below the lesion that can be used for reading using letters of different sizes, which are pushed from the periphery in the direction of the visual centre. Within this area, the moving test letter can be read permanently. The subsequent atten- tional training sensitises the patient to the usefulness of this area, where text samples of different sizes are subsequently presented. These were then read aloud with appropriate close correc- tion/enlargement (observing the working distance) (moving text = moving text with steady eye = unmoving eye). Results. One rehabilitation patient already benefited so much from the use of the newly adapted magnifying aids, that addi- tional visual training showed no clear additional benefit. The other rehabilitation patient could not overcome the hurdle of the small working distance, despite intensive motivation, so that no success due to the training could be determined. Conclusion. Although the small sample cannot show direct success, it can be stated that eccentric viewing training can work without complex technology. Application to a larger population should be pursued. For more variations and fast, individual adaptation, the use of special software seems desirable.

Introduction: In the scenario of the mindset and performance of athletes, the athlete's lifestyle becomes an integral part of this development. e need to focus on the mindset of athletes, exploring the perspectives of elite athletes through a qualitative approach, in order to understand the lifestyle and other factors to which they attribute their success. Objective: It was to carry out a systematic review to present the main studies on the influence of mindset (mindset) on the performance of athletes, as well as the entire lifestyle scenario for this development. Methods: The systematic review rules of the PRISMA Platform were followed. The research was carried out from January to March 2023 in Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: A total of 118 articles were found, and 32 articles were evaluated in full and 29 were included and developed in this systematic review study. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, the overall assessment resulted in 52 studies with a high risk of bias and 14 studies that did not meet GRADE. It was concluded that mindsets such as believing in yourself after failure (called the constructive mental code) are very beneficial for athletes' perseverance, motivation, and performance improvement. Still, a positive mindset can positively influence the performance of athletes, showing that mental skills training can lead to better performance in competition. Thus, champion athletes attribute their good mindset as the main predictor of competitive success. However, it is necessary to inform and encourage these practices in coaches and support staff in the area of the psychological skills of athletes. Mindfulness can benefit athletes' mindsets and performance. Cognitive variables, such as coping with stress, are significantly correlated with performance. Highperformance strategies include using honed mental rehearsal skills and practicing recovery.

Authors:   West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin, Tyszko Cyprian , Gorka Jacek ,   Silesian University of Technology
Published: June 2023

" One of the most commonly used corrosion resistant construction materials are austenitic stainless steels, mainly AISI 304. Any deviation from the welding technology in the case of this steel may result in welding defects or even loss of corrosion resistance. The purpose of this work was explored the influence of remelting using the TIG method (141) on the properties and structure of welded joints of AISI 304. The scope of this paper included making test joints of 2 mm thick sheets and then remelting them. The further part of this work consisted in carrying out: mechanical, macroscopic and microscopic examinations, hardness and corrosion resistance tests, SEM/EDS analysis. As a result of tests it was found that remelting of a joint causes a significant increase in hardness, lower elongation and general corrosion resistance, but increases the resistance to intercrystalline corrosion. Flexural strength and tensile strength were not changed by remelting."

Fused deposition modelling performances are dominated by selection of process parameters. Multi objective optimisation is essential in ensuring excellent product mechanical properties, surface quality and resource efficiency. This paper presents a preliminary work based on Taguchi orthogonal array design of experiment, considering build orientation, printing angle and layer thickness as the input factors. The build orientation has a significant influence on tensile strength while the layer thickness on energy consumption and printing time. Adverse effects on the responses can be observed during the attempts. However, two factors optimisations were still achievable. Optimal settings should be suited based on final application and economical constraints. This study has established a groundwork of further studies in optimisation of quality of the method.

Published: June 2023

As we all know, English writing is generally regarded as an important link to reflect the comprehensive application ability of English. However, in recent years, there have been some problems in the teaching of English writing in middle schools, which has seriously hindered the improvement of English writing level. In the final analysis, it is caused by the insufficient language input of middle school students in the non-English language environment. Recitation input is beneficial to increasing students' access to English, helping students to accumulate more English language knowledge, and plays an important role in English writing teaching. It can reduce the influence of the native language in English learning, and then improve the learning effect.This paper briefly outlines the theoretical basis of recitation input and its role in English writing, and discusses the effective strategies in its specific application to improve the effectiveness of English writing teaching.

Este artigo demonstra como os mecanismos de defesa propostos pela psicodinâmica do trabalho de Christophe Dejours (2004) refletem no trabalhador frente às situações causadoras de adoecimento psíquico dentro do trabalho. Dessa forma, este trabalho tem por objetivo basilar discutir sobre a nova reforma da Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho (CLT) e as possíveis implicações para o adoecimento psíquico e físico do trabalhador, a partir do referencial teórico de Christophe Dejours (1992, 1994, 2004). Para tal, iniciamos nossa discussão pela história do trabalho, buscando compreender a sua importância para a saúde e a identidade do trabalhador. Para desenvolver este artigo, utilizamos do método de pesquisa bibliográfica, a partir do levantamento de teorias já analisadas e publicadas por meio de escritos eletrônicos, como livros, artigos científicos e sites especializados. Concluímos haver a existência de um processo de precarização do trabalho, na qual temos que conviver com a perda das garantias trabalhistas, direitos adquiridos, conquistas que protegiam não só socialmente, mas psiquicamente as pessoas.

This paper presents a single loop forth-order delta-sigma modulator topology of cascade of integrator with multiple feedback This paper presents a single loop forth-order delta-sigma modulator topology of cascade of integrator with multiple feedback (CIFB) . The number of levels in the quantizer increases for higher performance. The modulator noice transfer function (NTF) and signal transfer function (STF) exploited for higher performance. The out-of-band gain (OBG) of 1.5 selected considering the stability of higher order modulator. The high oversampling ratio (OSR) considered for small bandwidth applications. The maximum quantization noise is suppressed by NTF zeros optimization. A full-scale signal of the modulator is 0.55-V considering the higher order loop filter stability. Due to CIFB topology, there is no peaking in the STF while STF response is flat. The zeros of the NTF are optimized for maximum quantization noise and poles are placed inside the unit circle. The complete modulator loop filter has four integrators in the loop filter with multiple feedback digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for maximum stability. The complete modulator simulation shows it an achieve signal-to-noise (SNR) of 1.43 dB with oversampling ratio (OSR) of 128.

Nghiên cứu này được thực hiện nhằm xác định tuổi khai thác tối ưu về kinh tế cho chu kỳ giao đất 50 năm cho rừng trồng Mỡ trên cấp đất II tại huyện Pác Nặm, tỉnh Bắc Kạn. Ở các tuổi rừng khác nhau 5, 7, 10, 13 và 15, mỗi tuổi rừng lập 3 ô tiêu chuẩn (OTC). Các OTC được bố trí theo phương pháp đại diện điển hình. Mỗi OTC lựa chọn một cây có tiết diện bình quân để xác định trữ lượng gỗ theo các cấp kính khác nhau và tỷ lệ lợi dụng gỗ. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy giá trị bình quân của các đại lượng đường kính, chiều cao cây, và trữ lượng của lâm phần Mỡ luôn tăng theo tuổi. Tăng trưởng bình quân chung về trữ lượng đạt lớn nhất ở tuổi 10 (26,9 m3/ha), sau đó lượng tăng trưởng giảm xuống ở tuổi 13 (26,6 m3/ha) và 15 (25,9 m3/ha). Hiệu quả kinh tế cho thấy giá trị lợi nhuận ròng đạt lớn nhất ở chu kỳ kinh doanh tuổi 13 đạt lớn nhất (378.357.105 đồng/ha) gấp hơn 6 lần so với tuổi 5 và hơn gần 1,5 lần so với tuổi 10 và tuổi 15. Rừng trồng tuổi 13 có tỷ lệ thu nhập trên chi phí là cao nhất (6,99). Tỷ lệ hoàn vốn nội tại ở các chu kỳ khai thác khác nhau đều dương, nghĩa là đầu tư có lãi, trong đó, chỉ tiêu IRR cao nhất là 73,4% (chu kỳ 15 năm) và 73,3% (chu kỳ 13 năm), thấp nhất là 57% (chu kỳ 5 năm). Đối với đa luân kỳ trong chu kỳ giao đất 50 năm hiệu quả kinh doanh cao nhất là 13 năm (512.836.272 đồng/ha). Khi thay đổi tỷ lệ chiết khấu (mức lãi suất) và giá gỗ (±10%) khi căn cứ theo giá trị NPV trong 1 luân kỳ hay nhiều luân kỳ của chu kỳ giao đất 50 năm, tuổi rừng khai thác đạt hiệu quả nhất là 13 năm.

Assessing the determinants of agricultural productivity in Somalia: An application of an ARDL model
Authors: Samatar Elmi Hassan
Published: June 2023

This study delves into the factors that boost agricultural productivity while taking five macroeconomic variables into account. The investigated variables are agricultural productivity, which is used as the dependent variable, while employment in agriculture, gross capital formation, arable land, and rainfall are the independent variables. Employing an autoregressive distributed lags (ARDL) model, this paper examines the determinants of agricultural productivity in Somalia from 1991 to 2020. The cointegration between the model’s variables was verified using a bounds-testing approach to cointegration. Employment in agriculture was found to have both a short-run and long-run positive impact on agricultural productivity. Similarly, it was discovered that both gross capital formation and the availability of arable land had a favorable influence on agricultural productivity in the short and long run. Additionally, the study indicated a positive short-run and long-run correlation between rainfall and agricultural productivity, although this correlation is statistically insignificant at a five percent level. In the long run, the amount of available arable land has a positive impact on agricultural productivity. However, in the short run, this determinant has the opposite effect. Based on the results, the study advises the government, policymakers, and other concerned authorities to prioritize technological innovation and climate-smart agricultural systems to boost sector productivity.
