Published: August 2023

This research is about public relations communication strategies in improving the image of the Empat Lawang district government through social media. In forming the image of an institution, public relations has a broad relationship. In its role as a connecting bridge, government public relations collects, processes and disseminates information related to programs or policies, activities and achievements achieved by institutions to institutional responses to responses, aspirations and opinions that develop in society. Through social media, the Empat Lawang district government continues to strive to improve the positive image of the region.The objectives to be achieved from this research are to find out how the public relations strategy of the Empat Lawang Regency government improves the image of Empat Lawang Regency through social media and to find out what are the inhibiting factors of public relations in implementing communication strategies through social media to improve the image of Empat Lawang Regency.This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive type. Descriptive qualitative research tends to use analysis that is used to investigate, discover, describe, and explain the qualities or features of social influence. In this case the researcher will conduct a descriptive study of a phenomenon about how Empat Lawang district public relations can enhance its positive image through social media. The subject in this study was public relations for the Empat Lawang District by conducting interviews with 2 (two) informants.

The results in this study indicate that the public relations of the Empat Lawang district government continues to improve its positive image by providing information to the public about local government programs through social media which can make it easier for the local government to communicate with the community. Public Relations of Empat Lawang district provides information using social media through Instagram, Facebook and Whats Aap and Youtube groups about program plans and the development of local government activities in a transparent manner to the public in order to get sympathy and a positive image. In addition, the local government public relations took advantage of the influence of several community leaders such as religious leaders, traditional leaders and youth leaders. The inhibiting factors for public relations in implementing communication strategies through social media to improve the image of Empat Lawang Regency are the lack of response from the community, the limited media used, the proximity to residents who live in remote areas and the negative perceptions that exist in the community itself.

O Plano de mobilidade urbana e sua relação com a dinâmica territorial: o caso de Juiz de Fora (MG)
Authors:   , Nascimento Cléo Nicolau Adário Lima
Published: August 2023

Desde a década de 1970, o tema da mobilidade urbana vem demonstrando crescente destaque nas discussões sobre a cidade, especialmente em relação à acessibilidade das classes oprimidas e marginalizadas do espaço urbano. Observa-se, ainda, uma expansão urbana dispersa e segregacionista, bem como a condição crítica dos deslocamentos de pessoas e cargas pelo território nacional, onde os índices de congestionamentos e acidentes de trânsito se mantém significativos. O Plano Municipal de Mobilidade Urbana, instrumento responsável por definir os ditames da política de mobilidade nas cidades, surge então como uma importante ferramenta de planejamento no território municipal. Neste contexto, a pesquisa, de caráter descritivo- exploratório, está centrada no estudo dessa política e, mais especificamente, na relação entre a dinâmica territorial de Juiz de Fora (MG), a partir da década de 2000, e o vínculo que determinados atores sociais possuem com o PlanMob-JF. Como ferramenta metodológica, utilizou-se o estudo dos Indicadores de Qualidade dos PlanMobs, buscando identificar os limites técnicos, legais, territoriais e sociais do PlanMob-JF. Observou-se uma presença majoritária de propostas direcionadas para a estruturação viária e para regiões já consolidadas no município. Este cenário corrobora tanto com a supremacia dos automóveis sob os demais modos de transporte, como também demonstra uma preocupação maior em cumprir com exigências formais sem, de fato, atender às demandas urbanas. Além disso, ficou evidente a acentuada influência de atores sociais hegemônicos nos processos decisórios, onde o capital econômico acaba por sobrepor a legislação e não atende aos interesses da maior parte da população, incluindo àqueles relacionados à questão da mobilidade. Diante disso, este grupo preterido acaba obrigado a viver uma realidade de exclusão do restante da sociedade ou a buscar, de forma independente, por medidas alternativas para alcançar uma qualidade de vida mais justa e equitativa. Palavras-chave: Plano de Mobilidade Urbana. Atores sociais hegemônicos. Juiz de Fora.

The basic reproductive number (R0 ) is a threshold parameter for a population-level model of infectious disease control. The basic reproduction number is derived by epidemiologists using different techniques. It is used to estimate the basic reproductive rates of infected and susceptible hosts and to guide intervention strategies. In this paper, we give an overview of the methods used in the derivation of R0 and assess the use of R0 in the literature. Finally, we discuss some of the limitations and alternatives to the basic reproduction number that have been identified in the literature. The main contribution of this paper is to provide a guideline and shed light on the basic reproduction number to mathematical modellers and policy makers in order to prevent the possible blown out of the epidemic in the susceptible population.

Authors: Nadkarni Sanjay , Kriechbaumer Florian , Christodoulidou Natasa , Rothenberger Marcus
Published: August 2023

Digitalization is positioned as an important element for the future of hospitality related services, especially since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic (Gursoy & Chi, 2020; Shin & Kang, 2020). Historically, digitalization focused on amplifying returns by increasing revenue and operational efficiency. The hospitality industry utilizes resources intensely to function well; and when used properly, technological improvements can optimize the development of a sustainable business model. This manuscript explores the role of recent innovations in digitalization, such as Big Data, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI) in enabling environmental sustainability in hotels. These innovations become transparent when a substantial portion of resource utilization is being consumed (Yu-Lun et al., 2019).
Exploring the factors that affecting adoption of mobile banking in Bangladesh
Authors: Mamun Md. Abdullah A , Rana Masud , Islam Md. Ashraful , Mamun Md. Abdullah
Published: August 2023

This paper seeks to unearth the factors affecting the adoption of mobile banking in Bangladesh. Primary data from 630 respondents are collected from January 2021 to June 2021 using a structured questionnaire to accomplish this objective. The questionnaire contains 20 statements regarding the adoption of mobile banking. Gathered data are tabulated, categorized, and arranged to fulfill the purpose. The convenience sampling method is used to choose respondents from the Pabna district in Bangladesh. The collected data are examined using exploratory factor analysis, KMO and Bartlett testing, and reliability testing. Findings confirm that risk, the convenience of use, ease of access, cost, and comparative advantage are important factors influencing mobile banking usage in Bangladesh. Risk is the most prominent factor for mobile banking’s presence in Bangladesh. Regulatory authorities and banks should emphasize the above-mentioned factors to reach the target market to fulfill their objectives. This research should help managers and the central bank develop more precise policies to expand services for mobile banking based on these factors to achieve the goal of financial inclusion. The study is conducted based on primary data from only one district under a time constraint.
Doing business and contributing to conflict prevention and development in Ghana
Authors: Issifu Abdul Karim , Essuman Musa , Dade Felix
Published: August 2023

While some scholars argue that companies implement corporate social responsibility (CSR) for altruistic reasons, to gain an advantage over rivals in the industry, to enhance corporate reputation, and to be seen as ethical for addressing environmental and socio-economic difficulties, other scholars view CSR as unnecessary. These scholars argue that CSR initiatives adversely affect corporate profits. The understanding of this phenomenon remains incomplete, especially with the lack of empirical understanding about why corporate bodies execute CSR in spite of their primary goal of maximizing profits. To better understand this gap in knowledge, this case study of the Newmont Ghana Gold Limited (NGGL) ascertains why the company implements CSR in the mining communities they operate. This study contributes to the debates on CSR and the global call for businesses to address societal problems. Navigating the qualitative research approach and human-needs conflict theory, this study discovered that despite its voluntary application, failing to implement CSR would have prevented NGGL to have the social license to operate, and violent and nonviolent conflicts would have occurred. The study also found that CSR was implemented to address the fundamental needs of host communities adversely affected by mining. Together, these results suggest that CSR is treated as a conflict prevention and development initiative. Therefore, the study recommends that CSR be made mandatory.

Abstract. Atmospheric pollution in urban regions is highly influenced by oxidants due to their important role in the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) and smog. These include the nitrate radical (NO3), which is typically considered a nighttime oxidant, and the chlorine radical (Cl), an extremely potent oxidant that can be released in the morning in chloride-rich environments as a result of nocturnal build-up of nitryl chloride (ClNO2). Chloride makes up a higher percentage of particulate matter in Delhi than has been observed anywhere else in the world, which results in Cl having an unusually strong influence in this city. Here, we present observations and model results revealing that atmospheric chemistry in Delhi exhibits an unusual diel cycle that is controlled by high concentrations of NO during the night. As a result of this, the formation of both NO3 and dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5), a precursor of ClNO2 and thus Cl, are suppressed at night and increase to unusually high levels during the day. Our results indicate that a substantial reduction in nighttime NO has the potential to increase both nocturnal oxidation via NO3 and the production of Cl during the day.
Assessing environmental change associated with early Eocene hyperthermals in the Atlantic Coastal Plain, USA

Published: August 2023

Abstract. Eocene transient global warming events (hyperthermals) can provide insight into a future warmer world. While much research has focused on the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), hyperthermals of a smaller magnitude can be used to characterize climatic responses over different magnitudes of forcing. This study identifies two events, namely the Eocene Thermal Maximum 2 (ETM2 and H2), in shallow marine sediments of the Eocene-aged Salisbury Embayment of Maryland, based on magnetostratigraphy, calcareous nannofossil, and dinocyst biostratigraphy, as well as the recognition of negative stable carbon isotope excursions (CIEs) in biogenic calcite. We assess local environmental change in the Salisbury Embayment, utilizing clay mineralogy, marine palynology, δ18O of biogenic calcite, and biomarker paleothermometry (TEX86). Paleotemperature proxies show broad agreement between surface water and bottom water temperature changes. However, the timing of the warming does not correspond to the CIE of the ETM2 as expected from other records, and the highest values are observed during H2, suggesting factors in addition to pCO2 forcing have influenced temperature changes in the region. The ETM2 interval exhibits a shift in clay mineralogy from smectite-dominated facies to illite-rich facies, suggesting hydroclimatic changes but with a rather dampened weathering response relative to that of the PETM in the same region. Organic walled dinoflagellate cyst assemblages show large fluctuations throughout the studied section, none of which seem systematically related to CIE warming. These observations are contrary to the typical tight correspondence between climate change and assemblages across the PETM, regionally and globally, and ETM2 in the Arctic Ocean. The data do indicate very warm and (seasonally) stratified conditions, likely salinity-driven, across H2. The absence of evidence for strong perturbations in local hydrology and nutrient supply during ETM2 and H2, compared to the PETM, is consistent with the less extreme forcing and the warmer pre-event baseline, as well as the non-linear response in hydroclimates to greenhouse forcing.
Technical Note: A best-practice approach to calculating the Southern Annular Mode index
Authors: Velasquez-Jimenez Laura , Abram Nerilie J.
Published: August 2023

Abstract. The Southern Annular Mode (SAM) strongly influences climate variability in the Southern Hemisphere. The SAM index describes the phase and magnitude of the SAM and can be calculated by measuring the difference in mean sea level pressure (MSLP) between mid- and high-latitudes. This study investigates the effects of calculation methods and data resolution on the SAM index, and subsequent interpretations of SAM impacts and trends. We show that the normalisation step that is traditionally used in calculating a non-dimensional SAM index leads to substantial differences in the magnitude of the SAM index calculated at different temporal resolutions, and that the equal weighting given to MSLP variability at the mid and high southern latitudes artificially alters temperature and precipitation correlations and the interpretation of climate change trends in the SAM. These issues can be overcome by instead using a dimensional formulation of the SAM based on MSLP anomalies, resulting in consistent scaling and variability of the SAM index calculated at daily, monthly and annual data resolutions. The 10 dimensional version of the SAM index has improved representation of SAM impacts in the high southern latitudes, including the asymmetric (zonal wave-3) component of MSLP variability, whereas the increased weighting given to mid-latitude MSLP variability in the non-dimensional SAM incorporates a stronger component of tropical climate variability that is not directly associated with SAM variability. We conclude that a best-practice approach of calculating the SAM index as a dimensional index derived from MSLP anomalies would aid consistency across climate studies and avoid potential ambiguity in the SAM 15 index, including SAM index reconstructions from paleoclimate data, and enable more consistent interpretations of SAM trends and impacts.
Evolution of layered density and microstructure in near‐surface firn around Dome Fuji, Antarctica
Authors: Inoue Ryo , Fujita Shuji , Kawamura Kenji , Oyabu Ikumi , Nakazawa Fumio , Motoyama Hideaki
Published: August 2023

Abstract. To better understand the near‐surface evolution of polar firn in low accumulation areas (<30 mm w.e. yr−1), we investigated the physical properties: density, microstructural anisotropy of ice matrix and pore space, and specific surface area (SSA), of six firn cores collected within 60 km around Dome Fuji, East Antarctica. The physical properties were measured at the intervals of ≤0.02 m over the top 10 m of the cores. The main findings are: (i) lack of significant density increase in the top ~4 m, (ii) lower density near the dome summit (~330 kg m−3) than the surrounding slope area (~355 kg m−3), (iii) developments of vertically elongated microstructure and its contrast between layers within the top ~3 m, (iv) more pronounced vertical elongation at sites and periods with lower accumulation rates than those with higher accumulation rates, (v) rapid decrease in SSA in the top ~3 m, and (vi) lower SSA at lower accumulation sites, but this trend is less pronounced than that of microstructural anisotropy. These observations can be explained by the combination of the initial physical properties on the surface set by wind conditions and the metamorphism driven by water vapor transport through the firn column under a strong vertical temperature gradient (temperature gradient metamorphism, TGM). The magnitude of TGM depends on the duration of firn layers under temperature gradient, determined by accumulation rate; longer exposure causes a more vertically elongated microstructure and lower SSA. Overall, we highlight the significant spatial variability in the near-surface physical properties over the scale of ~100 km around Dome Fuji. These findings will help better understand the densification over the whole firn column and the gas trapping process in deep firn, and possible difference in them between existing deep ice cores and the upcoming “Oldest-Ice” cores collected tens of kilometers apart.
Marine reservoir ages for coastal West Africa
Authors: Soulet Guillaume , Maestrati Philippe , Gofas Serge , Bayon Germain , Dewilde Fabien , Labonne Maylis , Dennielou Bernard , Ferraton Franck , Siani Giuseppe
Published: August 2023

Abstract. We measured the 14C age of pre-bomb
suspension-feeding bivalves of known age from coastal West Africa across a
latitudinal transect extending from 33∘ N to 15∘ S. The
specimens are from collections belonging to the Muséum National
d'Histoire Naturelle (Paris, France). They were carefully chosen to ensure
that the specimens were collected alive or that they died not long before collection.
From the 14C dating of the known-age bivalves, we calculated the marine
reservoir age (as ΔR and R values) for each specimen. ΔR
values were calculated relative to the Marine20 calibration curve, and the R
values were calculated relative to Intcal20 or SHcal20 calibration curves. Except for five
outliers, the ΔR and R values were generally homogenous with
weighted mean values of −72 ± 42 14C years (1 SD, n=24) and 406 ± 56 14C years (1 SD, n=24) respectively. These values are
typical of low-latitude marine reservoir age values. Five suspension-feeding
species living in five different ecological habitats were studied. For
localities where several species were available, the results yielded similar
results whatever the species considered, suggesting that, in these locations,
the habitat has only a limited impact on marine reservoir age
reconstruction. We show that our measured marine reservoir ages follow the
declining trend of the global marine reservoir age starting ca. 1900 CE,
suggesting that the marine reservoir age of coastal West Africa is driven,
at least to the first order, by the atmospheric CO2 14C ageing due to
fossil fuel burning rather than by local effects. Each outlier was
discussed. Local upwelling conditions or sub-fossil specimens may explain
the older 14C age and thus the larger marine reservoir ages for these
samples. Bucardium ringens might not be the best choice for marine reservoir age
reconstructions.
Benevolent harm: Orphanages, voluntourism and child sexual exploitation in South-East Asia
Authors: Lyneham Samantha , Facchini Lachlan
Published: August 2023

Institution-based sexual exploitation, including within orphanages, is on the rise in South- East Asia. While the drivers of this increase are complex, the growth in volunteer and orphanage tourism creates opportunities for child sexual exploitation by allowing contact between vulnerable children and child sex offenders, stimulating demand for orphanages and orphaned children through child trafficking and paper orphaning, and providing the necessary conditions for orphanage scams. This paper summarises the processes by which children become vulnerable to sexual exploitation and related harms within or facilitated by orphanages. It concludes by canvassing the international, regional and domestic initiatives that respond to these risks, as well as strategies designed to prevent the sexual exploitation of children living in orphanages.

Cemented versus uncemented stems for revision total hip replacement: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Elbardesy Hany , Anazor Fitzgerald , Mirza Mohammad , Aly Mohamed , Maatough Annis
Published: August 2023

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a rare but terrible complication in hip and knee arthroplasty, and the use of topical vancomycin powder (VP) has been investigated as a tool to potentially reduce its incidence. However, there remains no consensus on its efficacy. Therefore, the aim of this review is to provide an overview on the application of topical vancomycin in orthopaedic surgery focusing on the recent evidence and results in total joint arthroplasty. Several systematic reviews and meta-analyses on topical VP in hip and knee arthroplasty have been recently published reporting sometimes conflicting results. Apart from all being limited by the quality of the included studies (mostly level III and IV), confounding variables are often included potentially leading to biased conclusions. If taken into consideration the exclusive use of VP in isolation, the available data, although very limited, suggest that it does not reduce the infection rate in routine primary hip and knee arthroplasty. Therefore, we still cannot advise for a routinary application. A properly powered randomized-controlled trial would be necessary to clarify the role of VP in hip and knee arthroplasty. Based on the analysis of the current evidence, the use of topical VP appears to be safe when used locally in terms of systemic adverse reactions, hence, if proven to be effective, it could bring great benefits due to its low cost and accessibility.

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a rare but terrible complication in hip and knee arthroplasty, and the use of topical vancomycin powder (VP) has been investigated as a tool to potentially reduce its incidence. However, there remains no consensus on its efficacy. Therefore, the aim of this review is to provide an overview on the application of topical vancomycin in orthopaedic surgery focusing on the recent evidence and results in total joint arthroplasty. Several systematic reviews and meta-analyses on topical VP in hip and knee arthroplasty have been recently published reporting sometimes conflicting results. Apart from all being limited by the quality of the included studies (mostly level III and IV), confounding variables are often included potentially leading to biased conclusions. If taken into consideration the exclusive use of VP in isolation, the available data, although very limited, suggest that it does not reduce the infection rate in routine primary hip and knee arthroplasty. Therefore, we still cannot advise for a routinary application. A properly powered randomized-controlled trial would be necessary to clarify the role of VP in hip and knee arthroplasty. Based on the analysis of the current evidence, the use of topical VP appears to be safe when used locally in terms of systemic adverse reactions, hence, if proven to be effective, it could bring great benefits due to its low cost and accessibility.

What Student Voice is and is Not: Connecting Dialogue to Evidence-Based Practice and Inclusive Mindsets
Authors: Ashton-Hay Sally , Williams Dylan
Published: August 2023

Traditional attitudes to student voice are changing which is highlighted in the recent proliferation of student voice manuscripts the Journal is receiving. Student voice literature currently positions students as active dialogue partners in higher education with much to contribute rather than passive consumers or evaluators. As Editors of the Student Experience section, we view this development in higher education as a significant and emerging trend which has the potential to positively impact practice in higher education and also contribute toward meaningful relational changes for the student experience. We offer some guidelines and recommendations for potential authors on what student voice is and what it is not. We welcome manuscripts that leverage student voice by connecting genuine student-teacher dialogue and articulating how student voice has contributed toward collaboration, change, and empowerment. Manuscripts that articulate how an authentic student voice connects to evidence-based practice and creates inclusive mindsets are also welcome.
Effect of COVID-19 on digitalisation of higher education. A tale of one business school
Authors: Glushenkova Marina , Zagato Margherita
Published: August 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic pushed higher education institutions across the globe to switch from face-to-face teaching to remote teaching. This study explores how emergency remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic affected university teachers’ perception of online teaching and discusses the future of e-learning after the pandemic. The analysis is based on the interview responses collected from twelve business school teachers at one Sino-foreign university in China. The results show that the perception of e-learning improved after a semester of involuntary remote teaching. We also discuss the factors that may act as barriers to the adoption of e-learning, such as poor quality of the Internet, high workload, and lack of proper online pedagogy training, and show that teachers tend to implement elements of online teaching even despite these barriers as long as they find the usage of the online contents beneficial for their practice. Finally, our findings suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic contributed to the digitalisation of higher education and created new opportunities for the provision of online education.
