Authors:   School of Business and Management, Institut Teknologi Bandung, Kristanto Rendy
Published: July 2022

PT. Pipa Tanpa Kampuh Indonesia (PTKI) is one of the industrial companies for manufacturing seamless steel pipes in Indonesia which has the ability to produce the final product Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) and pipelines (Linepipe), which are used to support operations in the upstream oil and gas industry. The Company currently has an average Local Content of 27.11% for High-Grade products and 21.02% for Low-Grade products. The plant most likely produces products with the High-Grade type, where the market demand for this product gradually decreases every year. It was affecting the Company’s revenue which decreased in recent years; moreover, the utilization of the installed production capacity has also decreased. Therefore, the Company is attempting to penetrate the market for Low-Grade products, which requires developing an effective marketing strategy to compete in this highly competitive market segment. This research conducts internal & external analysis of the Company using PESTEL analysis, Porter’s 5 Forces, competitor analysis, and customer analysis with interviews are used to conduct external analysis. Meanwhile, Porter’s Value Chain analysis, Segmentation-Targeting-Positioning (STP), Marketing mix 7P, and internal management interviews are used to conduct internal analysis. Further analysis was carried out using the SWOT, TOWS matrix and Root-cause analysis (RCA) with the Five Why’s method. According to the analysis, it can be concluded that PTKI’s customers respect the existing regulations, particularly those regulating the use of domestic products, and they expect a fast delivery time for Low-Grade products. Therefore, it may be recommended to the Company that product differentiation be considered to increase local content and do strategic stocking of materials commonly used in Indonesia.

Authors:   Zetech University, P.O Box 176, Nairobi, City, 00200, Kenya, M. NJUGUNA Alice
Published: July 2022

University curriculum all over the world contain a set of learning outcomes to be achieved through different learning and teaching modes. The achievement of the Learning Outcomes is measured using some form of assessment, usually in the form of University examinations. The traditional teaching has been face-to- face, and therefore many examinations have also been conducted in a face to face manner. One of the challenges of any examination setting is cheating amongst University students, which implies that the examinations must be properly invigilated or proctored. Since the introduction of ICT in Education, there have been attempts to introduce Online examinations, although these are yet to gain full traction. In Kenya, the ODEL standards lean more towards blended learning, where each course has to have a face to face element. Many Universities have therefore been conducting their examinations in a traditional setting. The onset of COVID-19 created a different situation as the social distancing and the restricted movement meant that learners could not attend a physical class. The movement to Remote Emergency Teaching created a challenge on how examinations could be conducted and proctored. Several Universities decided to do the teaching but wait for resumption of face to face studies to conduct their exams, and this had a negative impact on the University Almanac. This paper looks at the case of one Private University that decided to complete a whole semester online but also went on to conduct examinations via the Learning Management System. Using a triangulation of Interviews, Observation and Document Reviews, staff and students who had participated in conducting and taking online examinations were interviewed. The online examinations processed was observed and documents and software used in online examinations and proctoring were reviewed. Reorganization of the examination processes, organizational and cultural change management, ICT technical issues, extensive training, software selection and communication were identified as the key requirements for successful online examinations and proctoring to take place. The use of Proctoring Systems that are integrated with the LMS give a shorter learning curve and are easier to learn and use.

Authors:   Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Negeri Surabaya, Indonesia, Nandasyah Ivan
Published: July 2022

Dental caries is a disease caused by the bacteria Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus, and affects everyone regardless of age. One way to overcome dental caries is to clean the teeth with a toothpaste made from hydroxyapatite-nano silver-clove extract. Hydroxyapatite is a biomaterial that has biocompatibility, bioactivity, and osteoconductive so that it can remineralize teeth. Nano silver is an antibacterial component that is able to kill microorganisms that cause dental caries. The addition of clove extract as an antimicrobial and aromatic compound can increase the attractiveness of the product. This study aims to determine the physical and chemical characteristics of the hydroxyapatite-nano silver-clove extract gel formulation with varying concentrations of hydroxyapatite 1%, 2%, and 3%, and nano silver concentrations of 1 ppm, 5 ppm, and 10 ppm. The results of the homogeneity test, pH level, dispersion, and adhesion showed that the gel was in accordance with the test standard. The results of organoleptic tests and statistical analysis showed that variations in the concentration of hydroxyapatite and nano silver affected the color and aroma (P < 0.05), but did not affect the texture (P > 0.05) of the gel. FTIR spectrophotometric analysis showed that the formulation already contained OH, CO32-, PO43- groups derived from hydroxyapatite, C=O derived from nano silver, and OCH, CH3, C-C, =C-H derived from clove extract.

Authors:   Post-Graduate, Department of Pedodontics and Preventive dentistry, Bangalore Institute of Dental Sciences, Bangalore (560027), Karnataka., Beegum Dr. Noora
Published: July 2022

Background And Objectives: Childhood dental anxiety is one of the most common challenges encountered in pediatric dental operatory, as many children totally avoid the dental examination and treatment due to the same. Visual impact of syringes and needles may hinder the child's cooperation as successful administration of local anesthesia plays a pivotal part in pediatric dental procedures. The aim of this study was to evaluate dental anxiety in children aged 6 to 8 years at the time of administration of local anesthesia, during intracanal irrigation and after treatment with the use of conventional and camouflaged syringe. Methods: In this invivo study, sixty children in the age group of 6 to 8 years were included. Children were divided into 2 groups consisting of 30 children (15 males and 15 females) in each group. In Group A conventional syringe, and in Group B camouflaged syringe were used to administer local anesthesia and intracanal irrigation. Dental anxiety was assessed using two parameters- The Pulse Rate and Facial Image Scale (FIS) score. Pulse rate was measured using pulse oximeter and FIS score was recorded using Facial Image Scale (FIS). Both the parameters were documented in experimental and control groups at the time of administration of local anesthesia, during intracanal irrigation and after treatment. Results: A statistically significant difference was seen in pulse rate between group A and group B at the time of administration of local anesthesia, during intracanal irrigation and after treatment (p=0.00). Intragroup comparison in both group A and group B shows significant difference in all the 3 time intervals showing pulse rate decreases during each time intervals. Facial Image Scale values between the groups at different time intervals shows that the subjects were less anxious in group B compared to group A(p=0.00). Conclusion: The study strongly favors the use of camouflaged syringes to reduce dental fear and anxiety in children and is therefore recommended as an alternative to the use of conventional syringes.

Current treatment options of post-viral COVID-19 symptoms lack conclusive evidence of success in infected individuals, leaving a desperate need for alternative treatments. In this study, we propose the use of icosapent ethyl (IPE), a pure esterized form of omega-3 fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), for its current use as a cell membrane stabilizer, anti-inflammatory and antithrombotic agent. This case series consists of patients, all of which experienced persistent post-viral symptoms of COVID-19 weeks to months after incidence of infection. Each patient reported considerable improvement of various COVID-19 symptoms including post-exertional malaise, cognitive impairment, and dermatologic complaints, primarily hair loss and onycholysis. As a result, we believe each of these individual outcomes collectively provide a starting point in demonstrating the potential success of IPE in treating persistent COVID-19 symptoms brought on by systemic hyperinflammation and hypercoagulation. In doing so, we hope to spark additional research detailing clinical outcomes of IPE administration to treat COVID-19.

Methecillin resistant S.aureus (MRSA) is one of the pathogens, which looses sensitivity to Methicillin. Methicillin has been considered as the drug of choice of choice to treat infections caused by β-lactams and other antibiotics resistant S. aureus. Objectives: The objectives of the current study were to analyse the prevalence of MRSA in S. aureus isolates from different sources of samples and to assess the risk factors associated with the prevalence. The multidrug resistance pattern of the pathogen was also one of the outcome of interest of the review. Methods: The original research articles were collected from PubMed and PMC databases from 12th to 14th December 2021. The English language articles conducting on MRSA prevalence in Ethiopia were included in the analysis. Relevant data were extracted, coded and displayed on Excel spreadsheet. The pooled prevalence of MRSA was determined per S. aureus isolates. The analysis were made by using R statistical software at 95% CI. Result: 79 research eligible articles were selected for the meta-analysis. 26930 samples were collected from different sampled materials. Of these 4219 (15.65%) were S. aureus positive of which 1695 were found MRSA strains. The overall pooled prevalence of MRASA in S. aureus was found to be 40%. The pooled prevalence of MRSA in human, animal, food and environment was 38%,15%,77%,and 54% respectively. The strain was determined significantly highest in food and environment than in animal and human samples (p<0.05). The subgroup analysis based on the health status of the individual in samples of human indicated that MRSA was significantly prevalent in patients than in health individuals (p<0.05). The assessment of MDR pattern of MRSA revealed that it was highly resistant to cefuroxime (100%), Tobramycin (100%), Neomycin (99%) and Penicillin (92%), Pipracilin (91%), Erythromycin (88%), Bacitracin(84%) and Amoxacilin-clavulanicacid (80%). In contrast Clindamycin, chloramphenicol, Amikacin, vancomycin, Knamycin and Ceftriaxone with pooled resistance rates of 21%, 22%, 27% , 20%, 25% and 30% respectively were antibiotic of relatively better effective.

Published: July 2022

Event storytelling, which developed by dealing with the events that happened or could be experienced within the framework of space and time, started to give modern examples in the second half of the 19th century with the works of Guy de Maupassant. Despite his novels and other works, Maupassant, who is especially known for his stories, met Emile Zola, Daudet and Huysman through Flaubert and contributed to the short story tradition of French literature. The author, who conveys the motifs of the environment he was born and grew up in, has influenced many writers in Turkish literature, especially Ömer Seyfettin. The combination of place and character, which forms the basis of event storytelling, comes to the fore in the author's stories. In addition, this approach of Maupassant, who directed his stories with a pessimistic worldview under the influence of the German philosopher Schopenhauer, was effective in the analysis of the hero and was directly reflected in the works of the environment where he was born and grew up. The aim of this study is to analyze Guy de Maupassant's works named «Pierre and Jean» and «Mademoiselle Fifi» comparatively within the framework of the story style called event storytelling in world literature. In the study, these two works, which contain the patterns of Maupassant's characteristic storytelling, were evaluated by document analysis, one of the data analysis methods in qualitative research. As a result of the study, character analysis, nature-space relationship and realist style elements, which are examples of Maupassant's storytelling, were found in the works discussed.

Published: July 2022

Every word has a living soul, its own psychology. The word is power. Therefore, to be able to use it correctly is a great noble art that not everyone can possess. Being a speaker is much more difficult than ruling the world. The writer Rakhimzhan Otarbayev's works are presented in a short and concise language. He never uses false words in his works. He portrays the reality on a piece of paper to the reader without distorting it as it is in real life. This society does not have the patience and nerves to read long, sonaric works full of false praises and complaints, glossy paint and foam. The popularity of Rakhimzhan Otarbayev's works on the world stage is probably due to the author's short, sharp and concise language. The upbringing of a child or the younger generation comes first from his parents and family, and the second from his school and teachers. And the third it is provided by the social life we create. Based on this stereotype, the main problem under consideration in the work is the presentation of optimal approaches to the introduction of Rakhimzhan Otarbayev's stories into the school curriculum, as well as the study of reasoned opinions on this matter.

Published: July 2022

This article discusses the possibilities of using digital educational resources, including virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) technologies in the process of teaching geometry to future mathematics teachers. In the modern education system, in order for students to receive an effective education, they must first arouse their interest in learning new knowledge, and only then will the new material move into long-term memory. And it is impossible to interest the youth of the 21st century with videos, presentations, pictures. Therefore, the use of VR/AR technologies in the learning process is considered promising. The authors of the article analyzed the state programs and concepts on the research topic, analyzed the work of domestic and foreign scientists on the research topic, conducted online surveys and conversations with students, and analyzed the results. . In addition, the article presents a number of tasks performed by the use of technology in augmented reality, and examples of their digital performance in the chapter "Rotating body" in the course of practical training. As part of the math education program, 54 students were surveyed to find out how well students are familiar with VR/AR technologies and how they use them, and the results of the survey are presented in detail. According to the results of the survey, it was found that students do not know the possibilities of applications and programs of VR/AR technology in the course of geometry and need to improve their knowledge in this area from a methodological and psychological-pedagogical point of view. The authors believe that teaching future mathematics teachers to use augmented reality technologies in geometry lessons will stimulate the process of visualization and create a creative, informational and educational environment for students.

The history of the spiritual center of the Turkic world – the city of Turkestan has been studied for many years. Recent studies have shown that the history of Turkestan dates back to ancient times, as evidenced by the preserved monuments of history and culture, which are silent witnesses of the past. As a result of the study of historical and cultural monuments, we can show the younger generation our past history and culture. At the same time, we can take measures to protect historical and cultural monuments and preserve them for future generations. To this end, the authors decided to analyze and introduce into scientific circulation the results of archaeological research conducted in 2020 in the «Khan Ordasy» (Khan's rate), located in the spiritual capital – Old Turkestan. The article describes the existence of two khan's headquarters at the settlement of Eski Turkestan in the 17th-18th centuries. and provides information from written sources. The results of studies of cultural layers identified during archaeological excavations at the «Khan Ordasy» complex in 2020 are presented. In the course of research, it was established that the cultural layers date back to the end of the 16th and the beginning of the 20th centuries.

Published: July 2022

In the article, genitive suffixes and noun phrases formed by the help of these suffixes have been examined. And the study has been based on the copies in Egypt, Kökşetav, İstanbul, St. Petersburg libraries and on the copy in the Turkish scientist Emel Esin’s private library. For this reason, the work has been published in Egypt, Kökşetav, Istanbul, St. Petersburg cities and copies of Turkish scientist Emel Esin's private library. First of all, the noun phrases that we encounter in the copies of "Diwan al-Hikmah" have been examined in two groups as the noun phrases formed according to the syntactic features of Persian and the noun phrases formed according to the syntactic features of Turkish. In addition, noun phrases established according to the syntactic features of Turkish have been examined separately as noun phrases in which genitive suffixes are used and noun phrases that do not use genitive suffixes. In addition, the formation and development processes of -nıŋ, -niŋ, -ıŋ, -iŋ, -ın, -in and -nı, -ni genitive suffixes in the Diwan al-Hikmah have been emphasized. In addition to this, the views of various Turcologists about the aforementioned suffixes were evaluated and discussed in the literature. In the next part of the article, the connection between the elements of the noun phrases and their meaning features have been examined. In particular, it has been discussed whether or not to use genitive suffixes in noun phrases and whether it has an effect on the meaning of the word group.
Contributing to a Healthier World: Exploring the Impact of Wellbeing on Nursing Burnout
Authors: Sanders Charles , Burke Jolanta , Muzyk Andrew
Published: July 2022

Nursing burnout is a challenge for both the nursing profession and healthcare organizations. While research on burnout in healthcare is robust, including its contribution to the absence of wellbeing, e.g., depression and anxiety; little is known about its association with positive dimensions of wellbeing, e.g., engagement and life meaning, which is what the current research aimed to address. A total of 146 practising nurses, mostly female (98%), aged M= 45.03, SD= 13.31 residing in the United States completed an online survey assessing their burnout on the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory and wellbeing on the Mental Health Continuum and Workplace PERMA Profiler. Hierarchical multiple regression showed that after controlling for physical health, (1) wellbeing constructs explained various types of burnouts differently, (2) wellbeing, as measured by mental health continuum, did not predict work-related and client-related burnout, (3) the presence of positive emotions predicted lower levels of personal and work-related burnout; however, engagement was instrumental in predicting client-related burnout. The results highlight the need to measure positive outcomes using flourishing models of wellbeing. Furthermore, given that not all positive outcomes showed association with burnout, the research identified the need for nuanced approach to addressing burnout in nurses when using flourishing models. These findings can assist researchers and practitioners in further understanding of the impact of burnout on wellbeing and become a springboard for exploring the application of positive psychology interventions for reducing and preventing burnout and enhancing wellbeing.

UTILIZATION STRATEGIES OF URBAN GREEN SPACE AND UNDERGROUND SPACE
UNDER HIGH-DENSITY URBANIZATION
Authors: M Gu , W Yan , S Lu , L Li
Published: July 2022

The urbanization process leads to continuous rapid expansion of urban scale and urban
population, which causes “urban diseases”. Urban green space improves the ecological
environment and further ameliorates the quality of public services. However, due to the
contradiction between the rapid expansion of urban requirement and increasingly tight
resources, it is difficult to build a large amount of green space, and it is hard to fully
provide its ecological restoration and public services. The contradiction between the
residents’ healthy living demands and the green space insufficient development becomes
more prominent. Therefore, Therefore, in order to improve the efficient and sustainable
development of green spaces and explore effective underground space utilization
strategies, this paper applies a systematic review and comprehensive analysis method,
focusing on the utilization strategy of the underground space of the urban green space,
aiming to resolve the urban crisis and promote the health function of green space. This
paper proposes three steps for the utilization of urban green space and underground
space:1) rational and orderly development planning; 2) multiple and complex utilization
functions; 3) an ecologically harmonious built environment. The findings of the study
provide the right way to protect and utilize surface and underground landscapes and
green spaces in a rapidly urbanizing China, while being able to further promote urban
development.

When the flood came, the floods affected both individuals and communities, and they had social, economic, and environmental consequences. So we're designing that kind of system that gets floods before the flood comes. The purpose of the flood warning is to detect and predict flood events so that the public can be informed in advance. Thanks to flood warnings, the effects of major floods can be reduced and flood protection can be strengthened. The warning system will monitor nearby dams, rivers and collect data i.e. water level in the river and river flow rate in relation to floods and the surrounding environment from different sensors. There are three main components of this program. The first part of the system is to detect the water level using the ultrasonic sensor and the water flow rate obtained using the flow sensor as well as the temperature and humidity using the DHT11 sensor and the rain detection by Rain Sensor. The second part of the system sends data to the Thing speak cloud and the third part of the system receives the data from the cloud and displays it in the valley again when a flood situation occurs and an announcement is made to this. Part 3. The structure of the system can be expanded to include a fully functional system to inform the public of the impending flood disaster.

While research has been conducted, with regard to motivational factors impacting service delivery performance globally, not many studies have focused on public sector employees’ motivational factors and how they are perceived by the public, with specific reference to the South African public sector. Therefore, the understanding of these factors are clearly explained and clarified, in order to assist the South African public sector to improve service delivery performance across the board and to attract and retain a motivated, professional workforce. Motivational factors that influence the service delivery performance of employees include, salaries and benefits, training and development, and promotional opportunities, as well as employee recognition, job security and so on. The research sample was selected randomly, using a stratified sampling method and consisted of 100 participants, required to complete a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire in the presence of the researcher, who was present to assist in providing clarity where needed. A combined method of both quantitative and qualitative techniques was employed, while the analysis of data was done using the statistics package SPSS, version 21.0, with the results presented by figures developed in Microsoft Excel and gross tabulation tables. The findings of the study revealed that a lack of employee training and development negatively compromises quality of service delivery performance in the public sector. The study results further discovered that the absence of career development opportunities hinders the improvement of service delivery performance, as employees perceive this as an obstacle to their earning abilities in the long-term. Leadership was identified as a major factor that contributes considerably in influencing employees’ performance in the public sector. Moreover, the study’s results and literature show that the South African government has policies regulating motivational factors, for example the Performance Management System (performance appraisals), as well as the Skills Development Act 97 of 1998 (training and development). Nonetheless, public servants still exhibit signs of poor motivation. Therefore, the findings from this study can assist the public sector to enhance the motivational levels of employees, while improving public service delivery performance, as a whole.

The retributive justice system has been used in most parts of the world aimed at rehabilitating, deterring and incapacitating offenders. High prison rates reveal that the retributive justice system has not been too effective when it comes to reducing recidivism and addressing causes of crime. The system makes offenders to be accountable to the state, while victims of crime are left out of the picture. Family members of offenders, who are the secondary victims, are also closed out of the system, while in essence; they suffer a lot including loss of family members to imprisonment, which affects the family fabric. This research seeks to enhance the restorative justice work with ex-prisoners done by Second Chance Rehabilitation centre. The question that this research seeks to answer is: can restorative justice models have a positive impact on the lives of ex-prisoners and their families? An Action Research paradigm was used during this study. Eleven restorative justice interventions were implemented with a group of twelve ex-prisoners, while four sessions were implemented with ten family members of the ex-prisoners. The findings of this research reveal that, participants attained new knowledge through these interventions, which influenced their attitudes and behaviour about life and relationships. Additionally, the study revealed that human beings are social beings, who can be socialised into doing right, which is a message that should be passed on to policy makers, so they would implement effective rehabilitative processes which will yield transformative results.
Factors affecting young prospective entrepreneurs in the Umdoni Local Municipal Area

Given the current, global, economic situation, the status of youth entrepreneurship in South Africa is no different to that of the youth in other countries. It is debatable whether similar support and mechanisms used by other countries can be used without contextualising them for the South African environment. Cultural differences, level of education, different market standards, and a different socio-political environment are some of the factors that should be taken into consideration, when aiming to create an enabling environment that will open entrepreneurial opportunities for South African youth. A major threat for youth, especially in South Africa, is that if their needs and desires are not addressed, the youth will lose faith in starting their own entrepreneurial activities and in that way, become more dependent on the government to create employment opportunities for them. This situation certainly could add to the currently high unemployment rate and in the long-term, high youth unemployment could destabilise the country. This study is aimed at investigating entrepreneurship activities in a semi-rural area, with the aim of identifying the inherent weaknesses that prevent young people from pursuing entrepreneurial activities, as well as those enabling factors that can mitigate against these identified weaknesses. The study is conducted in the UGu District Municipality, specifically, the Umdoni Local Municipal area has been selected. A mixed methods research approach was used and 120 respondents from the selected municipal area participated in this study, including the municipal official. The study highlighted that access to financial support is one of the primary obstacles for the setting-up of a new business, since the majority of young people in the area tend to come from disadvantaged backgrounds. In addition, the research pointed to other challenges, including the business registration process, lack of adequate entrepreneurial training and mentoring programmes, the impact of crime in starting a fledging business and general support from government departments and agencies. Should these challenges not be addressed through an enabling environment, young people will, in the process, be discouraged from engaging in entrepreneurial activities. Given that the study was conducted in a semi-rural area, there are certainly greater challenges to the development of youth entrepreneurship. Therefore, the recommendations include municipalities creating a special relationship with government agencies to obtain greater assistance; that Government and its agencies consider setting up a designated fund to assist young people who want to open business in semi-rural and rural areas; that the administrative requirements for such a group of young entrepreneurs, in respect of funding, training, support, mentoring and business registration, be much more accessible and easier to obtain.
