«No puedes hacer una revolución para tener la democracia. Debes tener la democracia para hacer una revolución». Iniciamos el presente editorial destacando esta cita del escritor británico Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936), dada la coyuntura política que vive nuestro país. Nuestras instituciones han funcionado en defensa de la democracia, porque la ciudadanía así lo exige. Nosotros, desde la Academia, contribuimos promoviendo la investigación en temas de derecho corporativo, así como su análisis y discusión jurídica; esto permite que los ciudadanos conozcan mejor sus derechos y puedan exigir su defensa y cumplimiento. En tal virtud, presentamos con agrado el sexto número de Giuristi: Revista de Derecho Corporativo, cuidadosamente trabajada, en la cual se abordan temas de suma actualidad e importancia. Destaca el análisis acerca de la viabilidad legal de contratar créditos hipotecarios digitales en el Perú; asimismo, se reflexiona sobre las fuentes del derecho y, concretamente, sobre las fuentes del derecho tributario.

Araştırmanın amacı, ilkokul fen bilimleri ders kitaplarındaki ünite değerlendirme sorularının yenilenmiş Bloom taksonomisinin bilişsel süreç boyutu, soru türleri ve konu alanlarına göre dağılımının incelenmesidir. Araştırmada üzerinde durulan ders kitaplarındaki sorular, hiçbir değişiklik yapılmadan yenilenmiş Bloom taksonomisinin bilişsel süreç boyutuna, soru türlerine ve konu alanlarına göre incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden betimsel analiz ve metin, kitap veya belgelerin belirli niteliklerini sayısallaştırarak araştırma olanağı sağlayan doküman analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada kullanılan çalışma materyalleri seçilirken ölçüt örnekleme yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma materyali olarak 3. sınıf düzeyine uygun olarak hazırlanmış iki, 4. sınıf düzeyine uygun olarak hazırlanmış iki kitap olmak üzere toplam dört kitap seçilmiştir. Örneklemde her iki sınıf düzeyinde de biri MEB biri özel yayınevi tarafından hazırlanmış iki farklı kitap bulunmaktadır. Verilerin analizi aşamasında fen bilimleri ders kitaplarında bulunan ünite değerlendirme sorularının türleri ve basamakları araştırmacı tarafından literatür yardımıyla belirlenmiş ve uzman görüşleri alınmıştır. Türleri belirlenen soruların yenilenmiş Bloom taksonomisine göre hangi basamakta olduğu araştırmacı tarafından belirlenmiş ve uzman görüşlerine başvurulmuştur. Daha sonra ünite değerlendirme sorularının Fen bilimleri Öğretim Programı’ndaki konu alanlarına göre sınıflandırılması yapılmıştır. Son olarak veriler yüzde frekans tekniklerine göre sayısallaştırılarak tablolaştırılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucu olarak, bütün kitaplarda bulunan toplam 803 ünite değerlendirme sorusunun; yenilenmiş Bloom taksonomisine göre %64,01’i hatırlama basamağında, soru türüne göre %38,58’i çoktan seçmeli türünde ve konu alanına göre %40,81’i Fiziksel Olaylar konu alanında olduğu belirlenmiştir. Kitaplarda bulunan soruların alt bilişsel boyutlarda yoğunlaştığı üst bilişsel boyutta bulunan soru sayısının yetersiz ve soruların bilişsel boyutlara, soru türlerine ve konu alanlarına dağılımının dengeli olmadığı görülmüştür.

Published: December 2022

Within the framework of today's programs and teaching approach, it is extremely important to develop students' high-level cognitive skills and teach concepts. This situation also requires students' active participation in the lesson. Using graphic organizers in chemistry textbooks can both increase the active participation of students and contribute to the development of high-level thinking skills. Thus, this study aimed to identify what kinds of graphic organizers were placed in upper-secondary school chemistry textbooks and to determine the purpose of graphic organizer usage and the position of graphic organizers in the textbooks. The study is based on a qualitative research methodology and a document analysis method was used. Four chemistry textbooks, 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grades were analyzed by taking into account a concept map concerning the classification of graphic organizers as a rubric. At the end of the study, it was found that 55 graphic organizers, 15 in the 9th-grade chemistry textbook, 21 in the 10th-grade chemistry textbook, eight in the 11th-grade chemistry textbook, and 11 in the 12th-grade chemistry textbook were placed in all chemistry textbooks analyzed.

“How Much Can I Take?”: Predictors of Perceived Burden for Relatives of People with Chronic Illness
Authors: Vaingankar Janhavi A , Subramaniam Mythily , Abdin Edimansyah , He Vincent YF , Chong Siow Ann
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Chronic illnesses are common and have detrimental effects not only on the affected individuals but also on their families. These negative consequences on the physical and psychological health of caregivers constitute the burden of care. We investigate the predictors of perceived burden of care among relatives of people with any chronic physical or mental illness using secondary data from a nationwide survey in Singapore. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional household survey was conducted among adult residents of age 18 years and above and data were analysed to explore the predictors of high perceived burden of care. Two thousand four hundred and fifty-eight respondents having at least 1 close relative with any chronic physical and/or mental illness were included. Results: Majority of the respondents had at least 1 close family member with physical illness (88.3%)—the most common illnesses reported were memory problems (86.9%), physical disability (74.8%), heart problems (70.1%) and cancer (62.2%). About 30.9% (n = 723) perceived high burden resulting from their relatives’ health condition. Logistic analysis showed that women were more likely (OR 1.58, P = 0.0026) and Malays were less likely (OR 0.68, P = 0.0044) to perceive burden. Those who were able to open up to their family or friends (OR 1.65, P = 0.0162) and those who had dysthymia had higher odds (OR 4.91, respectively, P =0.0364) of perceiving burden. Conclusion: Our results suggest that regardless of the nature of the chronic illnesses, gender or ethnicity, the capacity to open up to family or friends and the mental health status of caregivers can predict their perceived burden. The results provide valuable preliminary information for planning social policies and interventions for improving the well-being of caregivers.

Medium to Long-Term Clinical Outcomes with Everolimus-Eluting Stents in Real-Life Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Authors: Liang Michael , Liew The Vun , Puri Aniket , Hyde Lauren , Devlin Gerard
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Everolimus eluting stents (EES) have demonstrated excellent re-stenosis and thrombosis rates in a number of randomised controlled trials. This study reported the real world experience in a single tertiary centre with EES in predominantly acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients and compared the outcomes in small and large vessels. We measured the medium to long-term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) defi ned as all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction (MI) and target vessel revascularisation (TVR) and stent thrombosis. Materials and Methods: All consecutive patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with EES (PROMUSTM, Boston Scientific, Natick USA; XIENCE VTM, Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara USA) between March 2007 and September 2009 recorded in our coronary intervention registry were included in this study. All patients were advised to stay on dual antiplatelet therapy with Aspirin 100 mg/day and Clopidogrel 75 mg/day. All patients had at least 6 months of clopidogrel, government funded and a further 6 months required self funding. Results: Four hundred and six consecutive patients received EES during the study period; 403 were included in this study and 3 were lost to follow-up. Indications for PCI were stable angina in 11% of the patients, unstable angina in 38%, non-ST elevation myocardial infarction in 43%, and ST-elevation myocardial infarction in 8%. Procedural success was achieved in 99.5% of the cases. During a median follow-up of 23 months, 3% of the patients had an MI, 3% underwent TVR, 5% all-cause mortality and 2 (0.5%) cases of definite or probable stent thrombosis. The Kaplan Meier 2-year survival and MACE free survival were 95% and 89% respectively. A subgroup analysis comparing MACE in patients who were treated with a single small (≤2.75 mm; n = 91) or large (≥3 mm; n = 118). EES did not show significant difference during the 2-year follow-up (12% vs 9%; P = 0.34). Conclusion: Everolimus eluting stent appears to be safe in a real world setting with satisfactory median-term outcomes which include low rates of TVR and other adverse events. EES appear to be equally effective in both small and large vessels.

Published: December 2022

Os conteúdos de Probabilidade e Estatística, intitulados “Tratamento da Informação”, aparecem pela primeira vez no Brasil em 1997 com a publicação dos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais. Em 2017, foram reafirmados como Unidade Temática “Probabilidade e Estatística” na edição da Base Nacional Comum Curricular – BNCC. Esses documentos apontam que todos os cidadãos precisam desenvolver habilidades para coletar, organizar, representar, interpretar e analisar dados, bem como entender que nem todos os fenômenos são determinísticos e que pode haver eventos certos, impossíveis, improváveis ​​e prováveis, ​​a fim de usar esses conceitos em diferentes contextos diários, na tomada de decisões e em situações de incerteza. Assim, o objetivo desta contribuição é apresentar, por meio de documentos, a trajetória histórica que situa a questão curricular em relação ao ensino de Estatística e Probabilidade no Brasil, da BNCC no que diz respeito aos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental (1º ao 5º ano - crianças entre 6 e 10 anos) e depois, seguindo o documento referente a esses conteúdos, trilhando caminhos ("por quê", "o quê" e "como"), podemos dinamizar o currículo prescrito.
Corporate Bankruptcy, a Spatial and Temporal Perspective – the Case of Poland
Authors: Tomczyk Tomasz , Szymańska Anna , Dankiewicz Robert
Published: December 2022

Progressive changes in many areas of the business environment and internal processes in business entities are increasingly the cause of crises occurring in them, in extreme cases resulting in the need to declare bankruptcy. Bankruptcies can be considered, on the one hand, as a manifestation of maladaptation to the requirements and transformations of the market, but more and more often they become a derivative of phenomena over which entrepreneurs have absolutely no influence. The paper attempts to analyze the scale of business bankruptcies in Poland in 2009-2021, which was based on data from the Central Statistical Office and the Central Economic Information Center. Exploratory research was carried out on a time sample of 12,960 entities for the years 2009-2021, which declared bankruptcy in the analyzed period and represented all enterprises of the Polish market from the time period adopted for the research. The analyzed sample took into account the number of bankruptcies of enterprises falling on particular years. The purpose of the article is to analyze the scale of the bankruptcy phenomenon in Poland over the period 2009-2021 and to try to identify the existing dependencies.
Tom Dunne and William L. Pressly, eds., James Barry, 1741–1806: History Painter
Authors: Read Dennis M.
Published: December 2022

In recent years Barry has gained serious attention, with a major exhibition of his works in Cork, Ireland, in 2005, a monograph that year by David G. C. Allan, and extensive discussion of his aims and contributions by Martin Myrone in Bodybuilding: Reforming Masculinities in British Art, 1750–1810 (2005) and Daniel R. Guernsey in The Artist and the State, 1777–1855: The Politics of Universal History in British and French Painting (2007). This growing interest began with the publication of William L. Pressly’s The Life and Art of James Barry in 1981, followed by a major exhibition of Barry’s work at the Tate in 1983 and John Barrell’s numerous references to Barry in his 1986 study, The Political Theory of Painting from Reynolds to Hazlitt. In this volume, Dunne and Pressly have collected fourteen essays from various hands, including Allan, Myrone, Guernsey, and Barrell, addressing a wide range of topics and questions involving Barry’s life and art. If the essays do not speak in one voice, they complement each other to a great extent.
Paper and Watermarks in Blake’s An Island in the Moon
Authors: Castanedo Fernando
Published: December 2022

Although the watermarks in An Island in the Moon have been the object of research by several scholars, thus far they have not been clearly described or, I believe, reproduced. Both Palmer Brown and Paul Miner made inquiries in the 1950s with the staff at the University of Cambridge’s Fitzwilliam Museum, where Blake’s manuscript is kept, and Miner speculated on the identity of the paper. In his 1977 Blake Books, G. E. Bentley, Jr., also noted the similarities between several Whatman watermarks and countermarks and those in Blake’s holograph. Before I describe these devices and compare them with other watermarks from the same period, a review of the basic facts about the paper in this manuscript seems in order.
Diagrammatic Blake: Tracing the Critical Reception of “The Mental Traveller”
Authors: Ritchie Caroline Anjali
Published: December 2022

I am certainly not the first to point out the difficulty of interpreting “The Mental Traveller.” Although the earliest commentator, William Michael Rossetti (in Alexander Gilchrist’s 1863 Life of William Blake), confessed no immediate qualms about the challenges, numerous scholars from William Butler Yeats onwards have readily declared their perplexity and, on occasion, have even dismissed the poem as an object of interest altogether. For many scholars, however, an acknowledgement of the poem’s sheer opacity features chiefly as the precursor to a claim to have found a unifying meaning of some kind or other—​a way of making it make sense, of pointing to something outside the poem as if to say, this is what Blake really meant. In an astonishingly large number of cases, that meaning is presented in the form of a diagram.
Blake, Methodism, and “Christian Perfection”
Authors: Hobson Christopher Z.
Published: December 2022

This essay argues that Blake rejected John Wesley’s teaching of “Christian perfection” and examines the implications of this rejection for Blake’s ideas of morality, conduct, and social and sexual freedom. More specifically, it intervenes in discussions of Blake’s relation to eighteenth-century evangelicalism by proposing, at least on the issue of perfectionism as opposed to the persistence of sin, his greater affinity with the Methodism of George Whitefield than with Wesley’s. I maintain that Blake’s sense of sin was close to Whitefield’s, though distinct, and also that he rejected claims of perfectibility, such as Wesley’s, on the basis of this sense and because they provided justification for self-appointed elites. These concerns first become prominent in Milton and Jerusalem, despite some earlier foreshadowing. They exist in a productive tension with Blake’s belief in the holiness of the body, one correlating with his sense of the redeemed world as a cooperative society of imperfect beings.
The House of Aumont and Blake’s French Revolution
Authors: Davis Matthew M.
Published: December 2022

In William Blake’s French Revolution (1791) there is a minor character who is identified only as “Aumont.” He makes his first appearance in lines 159-67, where he informs King Louis XVI and the nobles that the Abbé de Seyes has left the assembly hall and is making his way to the palace to speak to them. Aumont is mentioned a second time in lines 198-201, when Seyes actually arrives. In W. H. Stevenson’s annotated edition of Blake’s poetry, a footnote identifies this character as “the Duke of Aumont, later a commander of the National Guard in Paris, and in charge of the troops leading Louis from Versailles to Paris on 5 October [1789]—which B[lake] probably saw as a pro-revolutionary act, contradicting Aumont’s earlier membership in the Second Estate of Nobility.” Stevenson’s notes have been of great use to me over the years, but I have doubts about the usefulness of this particular note. For starters, I am not convinced that Stevenson has identified the right member of the House of Aumont, and even if he has identified the right individual, I feel confident that he has not selected the most relevant episode from that person’s life to highlight.
Hazard Adams, Blake’s Margins: An Interpretive Study of the Annotations
Authors: Gourlay Alexander S.
Published: December 2022

Hazard Adams modestly introduces Blake’s Margins by describing it as “less for scholars … than for people who want to know more about Blake’s thought … and for students in the early stages of study of his work” (3). Beginners will find most of this eminently sensible and learned book edifying, but in fact there are very few Blake scholars anywhere who would not benefit from reading it straight through. In some ways, Blake’s annotations are among the least ironic of his writings, but every Blakean marginalium is a tail that wags a very substantial dog: we can’t really understand a given one without attending to the interplay with the full annotated text and with the broader contexts that contributed to Blake’s response. Since even the best Blake editions inevitably misrepresent the marginalia by supplementing them with (at most) snippets of the annotated texts, many of which are unfamiliar and/or out of print, it would be a good thing if Blakists were in the habit of reviewing the relevant chapter in Adams before quoting anything written in a margin. Of course it would be even better if we all reread, say, the last third of Berkeley’s Siris with care before repeating “God is not a Mathematical Diagram,” but if that is not to happen, Adams’s judicious summaries will help us much more with the nuances of that declaration than, for instance, the two barely relevant sentences from Berkeley quoted by David Erdman in his edition (E 664).

Authors: Dahiya Ujjwal
Published: December 2022

Ventilator-associated pneumonia is a major source of nosocomical infection affecting about 27 percent of all critically ill patients. In this study, an attempt was made to assess the effect of oral decontamination with 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate solution and hydrogen peroxide solution on the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia and oropharyngal colonisation. Seventy patients above 18 years of age admitted in AIIMS, New Delhi were included as subjects. It was concluded that incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia was higher in patients given oral care with hydrogen peroxide than those on 0.2% chlorhexidine, which was more effective in reducing orophyryngeal colonisation.

Management of Osteoporosis among Post-menopausal Women in a selected Hospital of Delhi
Authors: Khatoon Nasima
Published: December 2022

The term osteoporosis describes both a process of decreasing bone density and also the clinical outcome of fracture. The research approach for the study was the quantitative (exploratory survey research). Majority of postmenopausal women (81%) were having osteoporosis, and the remaining 19 percent did not have osteoporosis. The findings indicate that there is lack of knowledge among most of the postmenopausal women regarding prevention and management of osteoporosis and hence there is need to give information to post-menopausal women regarding prevention and management of osteoporosis.

GÖÇMEN EDEBİYATI BAĞLAMINDA MODERN BİR GÖÇ DESTANI OLARAK ARAS ÖREN’İN BERLİN ÜÇLEMESİ
Authors: ÇAVUŞ Burak
Published: December 2022

Berlin Üçlemesi, Aras Ören’in Türkiye’den Almanya’ya işçi göçü sürecini ele aldığı üç kitaptan oluşan bir şiir çalışmasıdır. Klasik şiir biçiminden çeşitli yönlerden farklılık gösteren bu eserde, göçmen edebiyatı dairesinde göçmenlik halleri daha çok bir anlatı forumunda kurgusal düzleme aktarılmıştır. Merkezde bir göçmen işçinin hikâyesi vardır ve bu merkez kişi etrafındaki diğer göçmenlerin yaşamları da yan hikâyeler olarak anlatılır. Göç olgusunu toplumcu gerçekçi bir yaklaşımla ele alan şair, üç kitabı göç sürecine paralel olarak giriş-gelişme-sonuç çizgisinde tasarlamıştır. Şairin bizzat göç olayını yaşaması, Almanya’da işçi olarak çeşitli işlerde çalışması, tüm süreci yakinen gözlemleyebilme fırsatı bulması, karakterleri, mekânları son derece gerçekçi bir atmosfer içerisinde yansıtmasını sağlamıştır. Bununla birlikte şair göç olayını Marksist bir yaklaşımla değerlendirmiş, şiirlerini toplumcu gerçekçi eğilim çerçevesinde oluşturmuştur. Dolayısıyla bu kitabın incelenmesi bir yandan Almanya’ya işçi göçü olayına dair çıkarımları bir yandan da göçmen edebiyatı sürecinin ilk evrelerine yönelik tespitleri sağlayacaktır. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı da kitabın göçmen edebiyatı bağlamında okunması ve gerek biçim gerekse içerik olarak irdelenmesidir.
Which is the most common rest interval for the incremental shuttle walking test in different population? A systematic review
Authors: Junglos Vivian Carla , Patrício Paula Stefânia M.S. , de Oliveira Ana Cristina F. , Caceres Viviane M. , Vieira Danielle S.R.
Published: December 2022

Introduction

The incremental shuttle walking test (ISWT) has been widely used in different health conditions. Because of the learning effect, the test should be performed at least twice. However, there is no formal recommendation or consensus on the rest interval that should be used between the tests. Therefore, the aim of this study was to systematically review the most common rest intervals applied for ISWT in adult and elderly individuals with different health conditions.

Methods

We performed a systematic review based on the PRISMA protocol, registered in PROSPERO. Searches were conducted in 8 electronic databases (MEDLINE via PubMed and OvidSP, PEDro, LILACS, SciELO, Cochrane, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Scopus) by using specific terms.

Results

We initially found 1538 references, of which 75 met the inclusion criteria. Numerous studies did not report the rest interval between the tests and therefore could not be included in the review. Of the 75 studies, 41 evaluated individuals with respiratory dysfunctions, mainly chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Most of them (n = 57) used a 30-minute interval, followed by a 20-minute interval (n = 6) and a 15-minute interval (n = 4).

Conclusions

This systematic review demonstrates that many studies did not point out the rest interval for ISWT. Although there was a predominance of a 30-minute interval between the tests, future research is needed to understand the implications of the resting interval on ISWT outcomes.
Effect of proprioceptive training on lower back muscle performance in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain: a randomized controlled trial
Authors: Alasar Sahar Abdallah , Abdallah Ghada Abdelmoneim , Elkabalawy Maher Ahmed
Published: December 2022

Introduction

This study was conducted to investigate the impact of proprioceptive training in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain on lower back muscle performance.

Methods

Overall, 43 participants of both genders (28 females and 15 males) with chronic non-specific low back pain aged 18–26 years were randomly assigned to 2 groups (A and B). Group A (n = 22) received proprioceptive training and conventional strengthening and stretching exercises 3 times per week for 8 weeks. Group B (n = 21) received conventional strengthening and stretching exercises 3 times per week for 8 weeks. To assess lower back muscle performance (peak torque) and the repositioning error of the lumbar spine, a Biodex System 3 Pro isokinetic dynamometer was used. A pressure pain algometer served to measure the pain level, and the functional level was evaluated with the Arabic version of Oswestry Disability Index. All subjects’ outcomes were assessed before and after treatment. For statistical analysis, mixed ANOVA was conducted to investigate the effect of treatment.

Results

A statistically significant effect (p < 0.0001) of treatment and time was revealed in both groups for all measured variables. Between-group analysis implied a higher improvement in post-intervention results in group A (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

This study indicated improvement in both groups, but adding proprioceptive training to conventional therapy resulted in more improvement in all measured variables.

Analisis data yang digunakan menggunakan Coefficient of Variation atau koefisien variasi (KK) harga. Kuantitas konsumsi cabai pada periode 2009-2019 cenderung naik turun. Rata-rata konsumsi cabai adalah 3,71 kg/kapita/tahun. Tingkat tertinggi konsumsi cabai terjadi tahun 2015 yakni 5,92 kg/kapita/tahun, meningkat 33,93% dari periode sebelumnya. Rata-rata harga cabai nasional pada Mei 2016 relatif tinggi, yakni Rp 27.567/kg. Tingkatan harga tersebut berada pada harga dasar ketetapan Kementerian Perdagangan yakni Rp. 28.000,-/kg. Disparitas harga cabai rawit menggambarkan keragaman Harga Nasional setiap bulannya untuk masing-masing komoditas. Terjadinya disparitas harga tentunya sangat dipengaruhi oleh fluktuasi harga musiman yang hampir terjadi setiap tahun dan menimbulkan kepanikan konsumen cabai. Lonjakan harga cabai disebabkan oleh berkurangnya pasokan, sedangkan permintaan konstan setiap hari bahkan cenderung meningkat pada musim-musim tertentu.
 
Abstract
There are many influencing factors in increasing chili production, including climate factors and pests. West Java province is one of the largest chili production centers in Indonesia. This study uses secondary time series data from the Ministry of Trade, Agriculture, and the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). Daily data on chili prices from the Ministry of Trade analyzes price fluctuations. Analysis of the data used uses Coefficient of Variation or coefficient of variation (KK) prices. The quantity of chili consumption in the 2009-2019 period tends to go up and down. The average consumption of chili is 3.71 kg/capita/year. The highest chili consumption rate occurred in 2015, with consumption reaching 5.92 kg/capita/year, increasing 33.93% from the previous period. The national average chili price in May 2016 was relatively high, at IDR 27,567/kg for cayenne pepper. The price level is in the range of the benchmark price set by the Ministry of Trade of Rp. 28.000,-/kg for cayenne pepper. The price disparity of large red chilies and cayenne peppers illustrates the diversity of the National Prices each month for each commodity. The occurrence of price disparities, of course, is strongly influenced by seasonal price fluctuations that almost occur every year and are troubling to chili consumers. The spike in chili prices was caused by reduced supply, while demand was constant every day and even tended to increase in certain seasons
English “Heyday” Broadside Ballads
Authors: Fumerton Patricia
Published: December 2022

Patricia Fumerton investigates English “heyday” broadside ballads,
wherein single-sided sheets of paper by the late sixteenth century
expanded in size to accommodate lots of decorative black-letter text,
divided into two parts (the second part pursuing the verse and tune of
the first), as well as an abundance of woodcut illustrations and other
ornaments, and, of course, the required tune title(s). The English heyday
broadside ballad lasted until circa 1690, by which time ornamentation
(except for musical notation), tune titles, and black letter temporarily
died out for some 15 to 20 years (the ballad’s size forever diminished
and black-letter text never made a comeback beyond the occasional
word or phrase).

THE IMPACT OF RELIGIOSITY, AND SUSTAINABILITY AWARENESS ON CAMPUS IMPACT SUSTAINABILITY
Authors: Datu Eranza Datu Razali , Chen Hiung Andy Lee
Published: December 2022

This paper provides an insight on the impact of religiosity and sustainability awareness on the campus impact sustainability. The nature of this study was to explore the relationships, and using the survey questionnaire for primary data collection. The research question for this research was â€œDo religiosity and sustainability awareness affecting the campus impact sustainability?â€ Convenience sampling technique was applied to sample more than 150 students at the Faculty of Business, Economics, and Accountancy, in Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS). Adaptation of three different questionnaires were used to construct the questionnaire of this research. General measures of religiosity refer to its intensity, salience, and importance in the individuals, and mostly are self-report on single item on the subjective importance of religion or the salience of religious identity. For better measurement in religiosity, the authors have adopted the Centrality of Religiosity Scale (CRS) questionnaire developed by Stefan Huber and Odilo W. Huber. The Scale is a set of 15 items measurement on centrality, importance or salience of religious meanings in personality. Four questions were developed to measure the awareness and concern of students about the environmental sustainability. Third part of the questionnaire is a 26-items questionnaire by McNulty. Apart from it, the authors have also included several demographic factors to investigate whether the gender and parentâ€™s education level would influence the variables.Â

This study focused on the development of an alternative natural dye from Philippine teak leaves (Tectona philippinensis). The leaves were boiled for one hour using tap water as the solvent for extraction of natural dye. The extracted dye was reddish in color. Quantitative determination revealed that 10.95g (1.095%) of powder dye was produced for every one kilogram of dye sample with 30 liters of water. Different shades of colors appeared when the dye was applied to cotton, linen, jusi, piÃ±a-seda and silk cocoon using different mordants. The dyed fabrics were subjected to colorfastness to washing, perspiration and sunlight using Launder-O-Meter, Incubator and Atlas Ci+3000 Xenon Weather-O-Meter. Results showed that it is acceptable to technical evaluators from Philippine Textile Research Institute (PTRI) in terms of Colorfastness to Laundering, Perspiration, and Light. It was concluded that the dye extracted from Teak leaves can be a good source of natural dye and can produce different shades of colors using different kinds of fabrics and mordant, and is useful as a substitute for synthetic dyes.Â

The Malaysian construction industry is greatly depending on the foreign labours to carry out works due to shortage of the local labours. This has increased the amount of foreign labours in Malaysian construction industry and also has affected the social problems in the country. In February 2016, the government has come to an agreement to restrict the employment of the foreign labours in order to lessen the reliant of the foreign labours. Therefore, this research was conducted to study the impacts of restricting the employment of foreign labours in Malaysian construction industry and also to propose the strategies for contractors to overcome the restriction of the foreign labours. A quantitative method was employed in this research by obtaining the data from questionnaire survey to 44 numbers of G7 contractors in Selangor. The data were analysed using statistic method and mean index analysis. The results indicate numerous impacts due to the restriction of foreign labours. Amongst the impacts are the increase of labour cost such as raising the wages, bonus and incentives to attract the local labours to work in the construction industry and increase the employment of illegal and local labours at construction site. However, there are strategies to overcome the restriction of foreign labours which are fully optimize the used of available labour, provide training to the unskilled labours and apply technologies, plant and machineries to substitute the labours. This study will be beneficial to contractors in order to manage the human resources in the construction industry.
DISPOSABLE DIAPER RECYCLING TRIAL IN FURANO, HOKKAIDO, JAPAN
Authors: Tsuji Nobuyuki
Published: December 2022

The population in Japan peaked around 2010;; however, the population has since begun to shrink. The average lifetimes of males and females in Japan are 81 and 87 years, respectively. Long lifetimes and low birth rates have transformed Japan into a “super--aging society”. The amount of discarded disposable diapers is increasing globally as well as in Japan, and the final processing stage in majority of these cases is incineration or landfill. However, there are two recycling systems in Japan, including material recycling and thermal recycling. In material recycling, the high--quality pulp recycled from waste diapers is converted into material for newly reproduced diaper (in trial) or wall board, the low--quality pulp and sludge are converted into a soil enhancement additive, and the plastic is converted into refuse--derived plastic fuel (RPF) using a water--based system. In thermal recycling, recycled fuel is used for heating source for public bath. This increasing trend of waste diaper is also observed on a local level, such as in the city of Furano, Hokkaido, Japan, where they are sent to an incinerator. Furano has attempted to thermally recycle hygiene waste, including disposable diaper and pet litter, for a year. This thermal recycle is analyzed, and this recycle can save CO2 emission in comparison with the conventional processing (incineration and landfill). A combination of thermal recycling and refuse--derived fuel (RDF), which is conducting there, is considered to be viable for handling disposable diapers in Furano.

Published: December 2022

Life in the rural coastal communities in the Philippines depicts poverty. This poverty is due to the lack of direct energy access and frequent destruction of livelihood lead by severe weather such as storms and typhoons. To help these communities to become sustainable the researchers provided a solution to enable alternative energy access to these communities as well as severe weather early warning. This research implements a hybrid alternative energy harvesting system using an attachable solar and wind energy apparatus for community use;; farther--time early warning for severe weather through weather APIs with a real--time atmospheric analysis and prediction for a short--time early warning;; and a handheld lantern for fishermen that allows them to receive farther and short--time alerts. The system is integrated into The Things Network through LoraWAN™ which allows administrators to monitor the energy stored and weather conditions as well as communicating with the lanterns at a longer and more reliable network.

A green roof is formed by waterproof substrate covered with vegetation. It is capable of absorbing water and adding hydrogels may increase its water absorption. The objective of this study is to utilize hydrogel in extensive green roof as an aid in water retention in urban areas. There are four green roof models: Panel 1 has 0% of hydrogels, Panel 2 has 0.40% of hydrogels, Panel 3 has 0.50% of hydrogels and Panel 4 has 0.60% of hydrogels. Each green roof model undergo series of test through the rain simulator with rain gauge at the center of the panel to determine the rainfall intensity. Other than the percentage of hydrogel;; rainfall intensity, duration of rain event and moisture content of the substrate before testing are the factors that affect the water retention in the green roof. This study shows that the green roof with hydrogel has greater water retention than the green roof without hydrogel. It is determined that the hydrogels can absorb approximately 330 times more than its own weight in a day and 37.048 seconds shows the most probable value of water run--off that may occur in the rain event based from the data collected in this study. It was concluded that the maximum value of water that the soil can absorb is entirely dependent on the time the water system was used. The result of the data analysis shows that each of the independent variable has a positive correlation to the dependent variable which is the volume of the water retained in the substrate.

Janitorial services and works are one of the key units of an institution directly contributing to the institution’s vision towards a sustainable campus. Their knowledge on what they do and how they practice their work is very crucial in the waste management strategies presently implemented by the institution themselves. This study assessed the level of awareness of the High--Performance Maintenance (Hi--Per) personnel of Far Eastern University-- Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation on the different types of waste, policies and legal aspects regarding waste segregation. A descriptive-- evaluative research design was used in this study using a total of 62 Hi--Per personnel. The findings showed that most of the respondents possess a high level of awareness in terms of the different types of wastes as well as the policies and legal aspects of waste segregation. A significantly high correlation was obtained with respect to their awareness and waste segregation practices. The relevant issues and challenges in waste segregation is being addressed by the institution’s waste management schemes which is an indication of a waste management system being implemented efficiently in the university particularly by the janitorial services collaborated by all units and departments, reverberating good governance, wellness, materials recovery and conservation, which can be interpreted to efficient investment.
