Authors: Hamdoun Waleed Mahmoud
Published: November 2024

English language is the first spoken language around the world, and it is the formal language for communication in my multilingual Saudi context. This paper is to conduct a further investigation to findings of a similar study conducted by Jumanto (2014) exploring the functions of phatic communication among English native speakers. Furthermore, this study aims at exploring phatic communication among native and nonnative English speakers in my workplace to have a healthy distinguished working atmosphere through guiding them to build a solid social relationship at workplace through involving in various communicative situations for the sake of rapport, not to convey information. For instance, to greet or reply to a greeting properly, start or end   conversations with native or nonnative colleagues to avoid any inconvenience or misunderstanding due to the likely distinctions related to their different social or cultural backgrounds which may affect negatively on their relationship. To achieve this, an exploratory mixed study will be conducted in two phases using a questionnaire for quantitatively collected data, and then conducting semi-structured interviews for the same population to qualitatively collect data to have reliable findings.  Additionally, the findings of this study reflect a great harmony among the phatic expressions used by native and nonnative speakers, especially native English speakers who try speaking the mother language, Arabic, of the nonnative English speakers for the purpose of greeting or starting interaction with each other. Accordingly, further research investigation could be conducted to explore the impact of phatic communication functions among native and nonnative speakers of any other languages on learning a second or a foreign language.

Authors: Nurteteng Nurteteng , Sunra La , Dollah Syarifuddin
Published: November 2024

This research explores the adaptation of the English Language Teaching (ELT) curriculum to address the significant resource limitations faced in rural areas, specifically in Sorong, West Papua, Indonesia. The study aims to investigate how teachers creatively modify lesson plans, instructional methods, and assessment strategies in environments lacking essential resources, such as teaching materials, technological tools, and professional development opportunities and the impact on the students’ outcomes. Using a qualitative multi-case study approach, data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis over a two-month period. The findings reveal that teachers employed various strategies to cope with resource constraints, such as simplifying lesson content, utilizing locally available materials, and incorporating peer collaboration in the classroom. These adaptations resulted in enhanced student participation and improvements in oral communication skills. However, significant challenges were observed in fostering literacy, particularly reading and writing skills, due to the scarcity of instructional resources and limited teacher training. Moreover, while short-term engagement and speaking proficiency increased, the long-term impacts on overall English proficiency remained limited. The study underscores the need for comprehensive professional development for rural teachers and better access to teaching materials to fully bridge the educational gap between urban and rural students. Ultimately, these findings offer valuable insights for future curriculum development aimed at improving language education in resource-limited settings.

Authors: Yoseph Engelbertus Rumlus Benediktus , Muhammad Sawir  , Iqbal Miftakhul Mujtahid
Published: November 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dari aspek komunikasi, penatausahaan aset daerah memiliki jaringan komunikasi di luar organisasi yakni pada organisasi pengelola aset daerah dan pengguna aset daerah. Aspek sumber daya. Sumber daya mencangkup kompetensi dan pemahaman penatausahaan masih sangat minim terkait pelaksanaan penghapusan aset daerah yang tidak produktif, hal ini dapat mengakibatkan inefisiensi yang terjadi di Pemkab Mappi sehingga menghambat otonomi daerah Pemkab Mappi karena aset yang tidak produktif tidak memberikan manfaat bagi Pemkab Mappi namun menguras biaya pemeliharaan. Aspek disposisi. Sikap para penatausahaan belum memiliki komitmen yang tinggi terkait pelaksanaan SOP dalam pelaksanaan inventaris aset tidak produktif. Aspek Struktur birokrasi. Struktur birokrasi penatausahaan tidak terjadi tumpang tindih wewenang disebabkan karena organisasi dipimpin oleh satu pemimpin, sehingga hanya satu pimpinan yang mengarahkan dan keputusan yang dihasilkan jelas. Selain itu struktur organisasi terlah sesuai antara pembagian kerja dan tujuan organisasi dimana, pembagian kerja ini untuk mencegah adanya gesekan antara anggota organisasi dan perkerjaan dapat dilakukan dengan adanya saling kerjasama dengan kompetensi sesuai bidangnya masing-masing. Fungsi pembagian kerja juga untuk memudahkan kegiatan pekerjaan sesuai bidangnya dan dapat dilakukan evaluasi terkait tugas dan tanggung jawab pembagian kerja juga akan mengurangi kerumitan karena ada pengelompokan pekerjaan. Selain itu pembagian kerja juga akan dapat diukur siapa mengerjakan apa dan bagaimana hasil yang dicapai.

We report on XMM-Newton, NuSTAR, and NICER X-ray observations of CTCV J2056–3014, a cataclysmic variable (CV) with one of the fastest-spinning white dwarfs (WDs) at P = 29.6 s. While previously classified as an intermediate polar, CJ2056 also exhibits the properties of WZ Sge–type CVs, such as dwarf novae and superoutbursts. With XMM-Newton and NICER, we detected the spin period up to ∼2 keV with 7σ significance. We constrained its derivative to

NuSTAR detected a fourfold increase in unabsorbed X-ray flux coincident with an optical flare, in 2022 November. The XMM-Newton and NICER X-ray spectra at 0.310 keV are best characterized by an absorbed, optically thin three-temperature thermal plasma model (kT = 0.3, 1.0, and 4.9 keV), while the NuSTAR spectra at 3–30 keV are best fit by a single-temperature thermal plasma model (kT = 8.4 keV), both with Fe abundance Z

⊙ = 0.3. CJ2056 exhibits similarities to other fast-spinning CVs, such as low plasma temperatures and no significant X-ray absorption at low energies. As the WD’s magnetic field strength is unknown, we applied both nonmagnetic and magnetic CV spectral models (MKCFLOW and MCVSPEC) to determine the WD mass. The derived WD mass range (M = 0.7–1.0 M

Published: November 2024

Determining the inner structure of the molecular torus around an active galactic nucleus is essential for understanding its formation mechanism. However, spatially resolving the torus is difficult because of its small size. To probe the clump conditions in the torus, we therefore perform the systematic velocity-decomposition analyses of the gaseous 12CO rovibrational absorption lines (v = 0 → 1, ΔJ = ±1) at λ ∼ 4.67 μm observed toward four (ultra)luminous infrared galaxies using the high-resolution (R ∼ 5000–10,000) spectroscopy from the Subaru Telescope. We find that each transition has two to five distinct velocity components with different line-of-sight (LOS) velocities (V
LOS ∼ −240 to +100 km s−1) and dispersions (σ

V
∼ 15–190 km s−1), i.e., the components (a), (b), ⋯, beginning with the broadest one in each target, indicating that the tori have clumpy structures. By assuming a hydrostatic disk (

Conversely, the outer component (b) can be attributed to cold (∼30–140 K) clumps radiatively excited by a far-infrared-to-submillimeter background with a brightness temperature higher than ∼20–400 K. These observational results demonstrate the clumpy and dynamic structure of tori in the presence of background radiation.
Importance of younger age group and high inflammatory status in the association between periodontal disease and diabetes mellitus: results from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2012-2018
Authors: Lee Hyunmin , Shin Myung-Hee
Published: November 2024

OBJECTIVES: Although previous studies have demonstrated an association between periodontal disease (PD) and diabetes mellitus (DM), the influence of age and the mediating role of inflammation have seldom been explored. This study investigated this association while considering the modifying effects of age and inflammatory status.METHODS: This study included 29,491 participants from the 2012-2018 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The community periodontal index (CPI) was assessed by trained dentists using the World Health Organization CPI probe. PD was defined as a CPI score of 3 or 4. Pre-existing and incident DM were identified based on serum glucose levels, a history of DM diagnosis, medication use, and insulin injections. Serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels were utilized as an indicator of chronic inflammation.RESULTS: PD and DM exhibited a significant association, which was more pronounced with incident DM than with pre-existing DM, particularly in individuals younger than 65 years. Among those aged 20-44 years, the odds ratio of incident DM for CPI=4 versus CPI=0 was 2.61 (95% confidence interval, 1.16 to 6.09). High hs-CRP levels (>3 mg/L) were also associated with DM, especially in individuals with PD. This association was stronger with incident DM than with pre-existing DM. A notable joint effect was observed in younger individuals and those with PD.CONCLUSIONS: The association between PD and DM was more pronounced in younger age groups and those with higher levels of inflammation. Therefore, early interventions for PD in younger patients may be crucial for preventing DM.

Published: November 2024

İlişkisiz paralel makine çizelgeleme, hem sanayide hem de literatürde sıklıkla yer alan bir problemdir. Bu problemi ele alan çalışmalarda yaygın olarak kullanılan amaç fonksiyonlarından birisi toplam gecikmenin enküçüklenmesidir. İşlerin gecikmesinin önlenmesi, müşterilere ödenmesi gereken cezalar ve prestij kaybı gibi olumsuzlukların önlenmesi anlamına geldiğinden oldukça önemlidir. Teslim zamanları, gecikme sürelerini belirleyen parametredir. Müşterilerin üretim planlarının değişimine bağlı olarak siparişlerin teslim zamanlarının değişebilmesi, özellikle yan sanayi konumundaki firmaların karşılaşabildiği bir durum olduğundan, daha gerçekçi çizelgeler oluşturulması için teslim zamanlarının stokastik ele alınması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada ele alınan ilişkisiz paralel makine çizelgeleme probleminde (UPM) teslim zamanları stokastiktir. Bu çalışma kapsamında, iki aşamalı stokastik programlama modeli ve bir genetik algoritma (GA) geliştirilmiştir. Rassal türetilen test problemleri kullanılarak yapılan testler sonucunda geliştirilen GA ile önerilen modellerden daha başarılı çözümlere daha kısa sürede ulaşıldığı görülmüştür. Elde edilen sonuçlar, özellikle değişkenliği ve boyutu büyük olan problemleri stokastik ele almanın gerekliliğini ortaya koymuştur.

Salt application in soilless cultivation systems can be considered as a strategic tool to improve tomato fruit quality. In this context, the effects of increasing the salt concentration in the nutrient solution added to the solid culture medium on yield and yield components, biophysical and organoleptic quality traits of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L. cv. Kardelen F1) under greenhouse conditions were studied. The salt in the nutrient solution was applied to tomato plants as sodium chloride (NaCl) at four concentrations (0, 14.1, 44.4, and 70.4 mM). Each pot received 150 mL of nutrient solution daily during the vegetative period, while 300 mL was applied daily after flowering. This study was conducted with three replicates following a randomized block design. Plants were harvested 90 days after transplanting. Low salt application in the nutrient solution (14.1 mM NaCl) increased total fruit yield, while the high salt application did not effect fruit yield compared to the control. Salt application at increasing concentrations decreased fruit size and diameter but increased the dry matter in the fruit. The salt treatment mainly positively affected the commercial and organoleptic quality parameters of the tomato fruits. In conclusion, a low level of sodium chloride (14.1 mM NaCl) in soilless culture enhanced fruit production, while moderate (44.4 mM) and high (70.4 mM) concentrations improved various fruit quality traits.

This study was conducted to determine the nutritional content and nutritive values of some varieties of linseed meal. For this purpose, neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), acid detergent lignin (ADL), crude ash (CA), and crude protein (CP) analyses were performed on meals obtained from 13 different linseed varieties (Clli 1423, Larkana, Milas, NewTurk, Dillman, Sari-85, Clli 1351, Clli 1370, Clli 1400, Clli 1412, Karakız, Beyaz Gelin, Noreum) in order to determine some nutritional content. Based on some data obtained from these analyses, nutritive values such as dry matter digestibility (DMD), dry matter intake (DMI), relative feed value (RFV), metabolizable energy (ME), and net energy for lactation (NEL) were calculated. In terms of nutritional content, the NDF, ADF, ADL, and CP contents of linseed meals were found to be significant, while the CA content was not found to be significant. The NDF, ADF, ADL, and CP contents of the meal varied within the ranges of %58.40-96.37, %18.62-35.64, %8.55-20.45, and %34.84-41.21, respectively. In terms of nutritive value characteristics, the DMD, ME, and NEL properties of linseed meal were found to be significant, while the DMI and RFV features were deemed insignificant. The DMD, ME, and NEL values of the meal varied within the ranges of %61.14-74.39, 9.35-11.91 MJ/kg, and 1.37-1.81 Mcal/kg, respectively. In conclusion, it was determined that among the linseed varieties, the highest results in terms of both nutritional content and nutritive value were provided by the NewTurk variety, while the worst results were generally observed in the Beyaz Gelin variety. However, it was concluded that the meals from all evaluated linseed varieties could be utilized in the intensive feed industry.

Published: November 2024

Os relatos de experiência compõem uma parte importante da pesquisa qualitativa, contudo, são pouco sistematizados, o que prejudica a validade interna, levando a questionamentos entre pares. Nesse sentido, nos questionamos: seria possível propor uma sistematização para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas do tipo relato de experiência? Este estudo tem por objetivo propor a sistematização do relato de experiência como método científico, sendo seu objetivo secundário apresentar diretrizes mínimas para a escrita científica de um relato de experiência a partir do método científico. Optamos por nortear a discussão a partir da validade interna da pesquisa qualitativa, relacionando outros métodos e técnicas, para conduzir os aspectos lógicos e formais à luz da literatura científica e metodológica. Como resultado, analisando cada aspectos da comunicação científica, propomos um método que sistematiza a escrita de relatos de experiência, fornecendo subsídios metodológicos para a coleta de dados, análise de dados e escrita da comunicação científica.
Identidade, Representatividade e Ancestralidade na obra Amoras de Emicida
Authors: Souza Flávio Penteado de
Published: November 2024

Este artigo é um recorte do trabalho de conclusão de curso da Especialização em “Relações Étnico-raciais: políticas públicas, diversidade e sociedade”, realizada pela Universidade do Estado de Mato Grosso (UNEMAT). A pesquisa apresenta, por meio dos estudos decoloniais, uma análise literária do livro Amoras, de autoria do rapper e escritor Emicida.  A partir da abordagem qualitativa, a pesquisa apresenta um estudo bibliográfico baseado na perspectiva de análise literária crítica proposta por Wellek e Warren (2003). A pesquisa vale-se de uma discussão teórico-metodológica em torno da construção da teoria decolonial e abre um convite para discussão sobre o que é a literatura antirracista. Diante disso, a obra Amoras é analisada a partir de três principais categorias: 1) identidade, 2) representatividade e 3) ancestralidade. Por meio da pesquisa, observou-se que a literatura antirracista é uma das formas de propiciar um diálogo que desconstrói o racismo e preconceito dentro do âmbito escolar.

Results revealed significant correlations between bacterial counts and the degradation of organic matter.
There is a need for improved waste management strategies in the area.

Full Abstract
Municipal solid waste (MSW) management in Nigeria faces significant challenges due to rapid urbanization and poor waste management practices.  Leachate, the liquid generated from MSW, poses a major pollution threat to natural resources, including surface and groundwater, and adversely affects human health and hygiene.  This study investigated the dynamics in physicochemical and microbiological properties of simulated leachate from dump site soil in Ikhueniro, Edo State, Nigeria using standard Microbiological testing techniques.  Samples were collected from a non-sanitary open dumpsite in Ikhueniro, Edo State, Nigeria, and leachate was obtained by filtering 150 g of waste-impacted soil mixed with sterile distilled water (1000 mL).  Over 28 days, microbial detection enumeration and physicochemical characterization were conducted on the filtrate leachate sample maintained in a rotary shaker at 28 °C and 150 rpm.  Results indicated high densities of microbial contamination with total heterotrophic bacteria (1.5±0.5 to 6.9±1.0 × 104 CFUmL-1) and coliform (2.7±0.8 to 7.8±1.0 × 103 CFUmL-1) counts.  These included potential pathogens like Klebsiella spp., Salmonella spp., Bacillus spp., Pseudomonas spp., and Yersinia spp.  Physicochemical analyses revealed significant (p<0.05) variations in parameters such as electrical conductivity (EC) with values ranging from 9183.3 –  9758.7µscm-1, total dissolved solids (TDS) with values ranging from 7004.0 – 8210.3 ppm, with changes in pH ranging from 6.48-7.62, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) with values ranging from 561.7 – 651.3 mgL-1, and chemical oxygen demand (COD) with values ranging from 1981.7-2058.7 mgL-1.  The pH dropped from 7.62 to 6.48, and the levels of BOD and COD indicated a decreasing trend that was strongly and positively correlated (“r” ranging from 0.949 to 0.968) with bacterial counts, indicating organic molecule degradation.  This study underscores the environmental and public health risks posed by improperly managed waste and its resultant leachates while highlighting the potential for bioremediation strategies using isolated bacterial species.  Furthermore, transitioning to sanitary landfills and improving waste management practices are crucial for mitigating these risks.

The study sought to investigate the principal's perceptions and actions regarding individualized consideration and intellectual stimulation and their implications for students' academic progress. The study was guided by the following research question: How do school principals' transformational leadership strategies improve students' academic progress in Ethiopia's Sidama region? The study used a convergent parallel mixed research design. The data collection strategy was sound, with a modified questionnaire based on the MLQ used in the quantitative phase and an open-ended semi-structured interview in the qualitative phase. The study's dependent variable was student academic performance, while the independent variable was transformational leadership's individualized consideration (IC) and intellectual stimulation (IS) behaviors.  The study's target participants were 95 principals and 5956 teachers. The survey used an appropriate sample approach, with 362 teachers and 91 principals from 24 public secondary schools. The qualitative phase involved ten principals and twenty teachers.  The acquired data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study found that principals comprehend and practice transformational leadership behaviors. The study also revealed that the principal's individualized consideration and intellectual stimulation practices significantly impacted students' academic progress. The principal's self-assessment was r =.760 (p<.01), whereas the teachers' perception was r =.583 (p<.01).
