There were 116 respondents, with an average age of 19.6 years, who accomplished a self-administered questionnaire. The findings show that the average level of connectedness to nature was 50.99 with majority of the scores in the average range. Around two-thirds had an average grit level. Less than three-fourths of the respondents had an average depression level. Connectedness to nature had and a weak positive relationship with grit levels and a weak negative relationship with depression levels. Grit levels had a weak negative relationship with depression levels. These relationships were significant. Adolescent connectedness to nature and grit should be enhanced in various settings as they are related to positive individual states. Further studies can consider larger samples of adolescents from various contexts and how the mentioned variables may facilitate better well-being in the youth.

Authors:   Samar State University, M. Cabaguing Dr. Abigail
Published: June 2022

Occupational stress has become increasingly common in teaching profession. Elementary school teachers possess the most crucial position in the entire system of education. It is deemed important to identify stressors of teachers to help them asses and manage their occupational stress in the workplace. However, no occupational stress scale has been developed for use among public elementary teachers in the Philippines. The study aimed to develop and validate a contextualized Occupational Stress Scale for public elementary teachers. This study was guided with the classical test theory approach. It utilized exploratory sequential mixed methods research design. Literature reviews and in-depth interviews were used to gather qualitative data that was used in the generation of items. Survey data was collected from elementary public teachers in Region VIII (total N=1417) using proportionate simple random sampling. Exploratory factor analysis was used to discover the underlying latent structure of the test. A 60-item scale with three-factor model was developed and labelled as Poor working environment, Work overload, and Student Misbehavior. The findings provided strong evidence that factors related to poor working environment, work overload and students’ misbehavior are the common stressors of public elementary teachers. The Occupational Stress Scale showed excellent overall internal consistency (α= .970) with strong coefficient alphas for Poor working environment (α= .962), Work overload (α= .953), and Student Misbehavior (α=.936) factors. Hence, this scale has the potential to be a consequential tool measuring and assessing teachers’ level of stress.

Published: June 2022

Nowadays, people around the world are living side by side with their digital devices, thus making them an integral part of their daily life. People all around the world, including in Indonesia, have made a lot of online purchasing (shopping). Digital media has great potential as a marketing device. One of the example of digital media as a marketing device is the use of the digital game as a part of marketing campaign. Game is able to penetrate demography and different age group and create an interactive platform as a communication device with one another that is unable to be done by traditional media. But on the other hand, game online has a negative effect. Children (especially elementary students) are addicted to games and start to lose the importance of studying at school. The purpose of this study is to analyse and discuss the impact of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness towards purchase decisions through the intention of engagement with the game application on the marketplace consumers. This research is a conclusive research. Respondents that are used in this research are the marketplace consumers (Shopee). The methods that are used are judgemental sampling and snowball sampling with 100 respondents as the samples. The instrument of the research that is used in this research is questionnaire. And then, the collected data is calculated using alternative method of PLS (Partial Least Square). The result of the study shows that the variable of ease of use is not giving impact to the intention of engagement, while the variable of usefulness mediates ease of use towards intention of engagement and variable of intention of engagement towards purchase decision gives positive impact.

Agência na sociologia: os diferentes usos do conceito de agência em Weber, Giddens e Latour
Authors: Hubner Alysson
Published: June 2022

O presente artigo procura analisar a noção de agência na sociologia a partir de Weber, Giddens e Latour. Apesar da noção ou do conceito ser o mesmo, ele apresenta algumas diferenças significativas. Assim, podemos observar quais são os elementos intercambiáveis e suas especificidades em cada autor. A noção de agência tem sido utilizada de maneira ampla, muitas vezes perdendo o seu real significado a partir dos autores que são utilizados. O artigo está dividido em três partes. A primeira introdutória, apresenta o conceito de agência em Weber para demonstrar a questão da subjetividade na ótica sociológica. Já a segunda parte aborda a questão da agência em Giddens, demonstrando uma maior complexidade do conceito aonde a noção de ator competente ganha notoriedade. Na terceira e última parte é abordada o conceito de agência em Latour, aonde a agência é observada como uma construção de redes sociotécnicas a partir dos não-humanos. Os resultados apontam para uma heterogeneidade dos conceitos de agência na sociologia, sendo muito mais sofisticado o conceito de agência em Giddens para compreender a ação dos humanos, enquanto que a associação de não-humanos em Latour permite observar outras relações em redes mais amplas.

Every organization that is profit-oriented or non-profit, regardless of the size and nature of its business, requires a number of working capital. Working capital is the most important factor for maintaining liquidity, survival, solvency and profitability of the business.

LEXICON REFERENCING AND TEXT/PRAGMATIC ANALYSIS CONCEPTS AND APPLICATIONS
Authors: RAHI Majeed Khairallah , BELKHEIRY Abdelmalek
Published: June 2022

This research seeks to study the functional relationship between the lexical units and what the hypotheses of textual linguistics and pragmatics put forward, and this is what required us to address the functional achievement achieved by words in terms of functions and values within texts according to relationships based on meaning, referral and intent. In order to reach an actual explanatory competence that guarantees accurate knowledge of how the lexicon works, this calls for research into the functional support relationships between levels of grammar, and semantics, and deliberation in building and interpreting the rules of text formation and discourses at the linguistic and pragmatic levels. This is on the grounds that the structural and semantic properties formed the core of the textual research, and therefore the textual research is carried out on the levels: grammar, semantics and circulation and it is not permissible to separate them. And the research on the relations of methodological compatibility and functional integration between the lexicon, text, and circulation, is usually related to the study of the textual/pragmatic functionalism accomplished by lexical units within texts, according to the processes of linking and cohesion between the constituent units of the text and the conversational processes performed between interlocutors in certain contextual conditions .Accordingly, the treatment of the established relationship between the lexicon, the text and the circulation remains determined mainly by clarifying the functions that words accomplish within the circle of communication, that is, studying the role of words and the extent to which they are related to the activity of speech. The boundaries drawn by dictionaries for the word within narrow circles, related to description and identification necessarily, will be different from those textual/deliberative conditions of the word included in the conversational processes charged with the terms of interaction and influence, and this is what prompts us to distinguish between the words deposited in the memory of
DEATH AND POST-DEATH IN THE POETRY OF AHMED ARIF
Authors: ALDULAIMI Ihsan Hadi Ahmed
Published: June 2022

The great Turkish poet Ahmed Arif is considered one of the important poets in Turkish literature in the 20th century. He was born in Diyar Bakr on 23rd of April 1923 and died on 2nd of June 1991 in Ankara. Through his life that lasted for 68 years, he published one book about poetry. It was considered the best book to be published in Turkey which makes him different from any other poet. Death as a fact and part of our nature is considered the end of life. The separation of the soul from the body is inevitable. It is impossible that a man can be born again after his death. Hence, there was a great discussion about the nature of our life and the existence of death throughout the whole history of human beings. Specifically, the scientists, philosophers, and thinkers, made scientific activities over humanity and death and what would happen after it. The poets are among the groups who express their opinion concerning this subject arousing different new point of views in their comments and thoughts. The nature of the poem is to think differently and explain it differently too resorting to symbolic language. Hence, the exposition of the beliefs difficult to be understood through poetry and literature create a genuine overflow of thoughts. Ahmed Arif is one of the well-known poets by his valuable thoughts in this subject. I decide to introduce a detailed explanation about life of the great Turkish poet Ahmed Arif as well as his literary orientation and poem. Among his poems, we introduce some information about death and life after death through which I browse all the poems by Ahmed Arif who is considered one of the important poets in Turkish literature in the 20th century. Key words: Ahmed Arif, Turkish Literature, Death, Death and Beyond.

Observação do direito e das cidades inteligentes: contribuições para formação de diretrizes jurídicas para políticas públicas no Brasil
Authors: Vanin Fabio Scopel , Reck Janriê Rodrigues
Published: June 2022

O tema das cidades inteligentes tem motivado estudos em diferentes campos da ciência, dentre os quais, o direito. Há experiências concretas em diversos países do mundo, onde a tecnologia da informação passa a ser vista como elemento chave do presente e do futuro das cidades. Documentos de agências multilaterais tem contribuído com a ampliação do debate das Smart Cities, já existindo inúmeras percepções do seu impacto no cenário e na gestão urbana. Trata-se de assunto inserido em uma grande contingência de informações e em um ambiente complexo, justificando-se o uso da teoria dos sistemas, como marco teórico para abordagem deste estudo. O objetivo do trabalho é identificar, a partir da observação do ambiente (questões que não integram o sistema do direito), possíveis contribuições para formação de diretrizes jurídicas para as Políticas Públicas de Cidades Inteligentes no Brasil. O trabalho é desenvolvido expondo-se critérios gerais, conceituais e os elementos centrais sobre as Cidades Inteligentes. Em seguida, a partir de uma observação da Nova Agenda Urbana, de Estudos do BID e da experiência da Espanha, relaciona-se tais descrições com a programação do direito público no Brasil. A escolha da Espanha, como referência internacional, se dá pela existência de um Plano Nacional de Cidades Inteligentes, o que tem direcionando e padronizado as iniciativas dos governos locais daquele país neste contexto. A pesquisa é realizada com base no método dedutivo e vale-se da teoria dos sistemas para observar como o conhecimento do ambiente pode ser acoplado ao sistema do direito. Como resultado, verifica-se que a observação dos documentos internacionais e a experiência espanhola, são fatores que podem auxiliar na construção da programação jurídica do tema no Brasil. Como contribuições, o artigo aponta algumas diretrizes jurídicas, destacando questões relativas à finalidade, a competência e aos meios de que deveriam ser observados na produção de políticas públicas para Smart Cities no país.

Authors:   Hunter College, Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing, New York, NY USA, McCabe Ellen , Elkind Jaclynn ,   University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA
Published: June 2022

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted everything, including the educational system, as faculty and students transitioned from face-to-face learning to the virtual format. The significance of this research is to document the successful sudden transition of a health policy course to remote learning as a result of the resilience of faculty and students, to demonstrate that course outcomes could be met despite the switch in teaching format, and to show that the transition in learning can be replicated by other nurse educators. Objective: To describe the successful utilization of a health policy assignment as a vehicle for supporting undergraduate nursing students’ learning, while transitioning from face-to-face instruction to the virtual setting. Methodology: A mixed methods case study research using an exemplar health policy assignment for 96 students was introduced to guide the development and organization of a well-constructed argument for a chosen public health issue. Online class time after the transition to the virtual setting included a weekly lecture, followed by an active working period for students and faculty. Follow-up meetings occurred between weekly sessions by phone or Zoom. Results: Despite the sudden transition from face-to-face learning to the virtual setting, this health policy course was successful in meeting course objectives and outcomes, with consistent faculty feedback and support in maintaining the learning process. Although there were unexpected challenges, faculty and students remained resilient, engaged, and committed to the importance of health policy during a period of a heightened sense of health awareness. The exemplar assignment prepared students to think, read, research, write critically, and offer and receive feedback in the midst of the pandemic. Conclusion: During the COVID-19 pandemic, students had an amplified sensitivity to learning more about health policy. In this health policy course, faculty aided student learning by focusing on quality teaching, student support, and resilience.

Background: A critical need exists to improve quality and safety within RN-to-BSN education through innovative teaching strategies. RN-to-BSN students are poised to improve patient outcomes through system-level awareness by use of scholarly fieldwork projects within practice settings. The purpose of this scholarship of teaching project was to use an adapted version of the Systems Awareness Model to develop and categorize RN-to-BSN students’ learning experiences and capstone-type fieldwork projects guided by systems thinking. Faculty members of the Catalysts for Change Community led this project. Methods: A modified Delphi technique using multiple iterations to reach consensus by faculty experts was used in the design of this scholarship of teaching project. The philosophical underpinning guiding this project was collaborative scholarship. The seven steps of the System Awareness Model adapted for leadership and management were used to guide faculty championing quality and safety of innovative teaching strategies in face-to-face, hybrid, or online teaching-learning environments. Results: Faculty described examples of evidence-based practice (EBP), change, and practice projects including ideas, titles, and descriptions in alignment with Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) competencies and with newly adopted American Association of Colleges of Nursing Education Essentials. A grading rubric is provided for evaluating fieldwork student project outcomes. Conclusions: The teaching strategies and fieldwork projects described in this paper reinforce the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) RN-to-BSN White Paper and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) Teaching Standards. Suggestions for future research are offered.
Electrochemical Generation of Zn2SnO4 Photocatalyst for Degradation of Methylene Blue
Authors: Chandrappa K. G. , Praveen B. M.
Published: June 2022

In this paper, a simple two-step hybrid electrochemical-thermal route was developed for the synthesis of cubic shaped Zn2SnO4 (ZTO) nanoparticles using aqueous sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and sodium stannate (Na2SnO3) as an electrolyte. The sacrificial Zinc metal was used as both anode and cathode in an undivided cell under galvanostatic mode at room temperature. The bath concentration and current density were respectively varied from 30 to 120 mmol and 0.05 to 1.5 A/dm2 . The electrochemically generated precursor was calcined for an hour at different range of temperatures from 60 to 500°C. The crystallite sizes in the range of 24-53 nm were calculated based on the Debye-Scherrer equation. Scanning electron microscopy results reveal that all the particles have cubic morphology with a diameter of 40- 50 nm. The as-prepared ZTO nanoparticles showed higher catalytic activity towards the degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye, and the 90% degradation was found for the sample calcined at 500 °C, which is greater than that of commercial TiO2-P25 photocatalysts. These results indicate that the ZTO nanoparticles may be employed to remove dyes from waste water.
A Review on Noble Metals in Controlling Intergranular Stress Corrosion Cracking in BWRs
Authors: K. Bharath , Devendra  , Praveen B. M.
Published: June 2022

Intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) is common in boiling water reactor (BWR) components. Corrosion problem is a serious matter that has overwhelmed the light water reactor (LWR) industry for many years. The conditions in which IGSCC takes pace due to stress, a sharpen microstructure and an environment that will facilitate the cracking while injecting H2 into the feed water system. Nuclear reactor made up of stainless steel facing serious Intergranular stress corrosion cracking due to the injection of hydrogen dosage into the nuclear reactor in the form of heavy water chemistry. Moderately large concentrations of H2 may be essential in nuclear power plants to bring the ECP below the critical value of –230 mV (SHE) to ease Intergranular stress corrosion cracking, which in turn results in an increase of steam line dose rate and shutdown dose rate and hence heavy water chemistry is limited in the nuclear reactor plant. Hence this led to the development of the concept called noble metal chemical addition (NMCA) to control IGSCC even in the presence of H2. This review gives the insights and development of NMCA on corrosion control in BWRs.
The Importance of Diversity in Selecting Trees for Urban Areas
Authors: Endress A.G.
Published: June 2022

The ability of trees to cleanse the air of pollutants, capture and store carbon dioxide as a buffer against the greenhouse effect, and air condition the buildings in which we live and the outdoor spaces we use has become the focal point for several vigorous campaigns to reforest America as a positive step to redress several concerns about the environment. Reforestation is much needed, but its occurence in a helter-skelter manner should be avoided. A long-term reforestation plan is needed based on (1) the selection of a broad range of plant materials with respect to biologic/genetic diversity and the specific characteristics of the planting sites and (2) the organization, scope, and technical support of tree care delivery systems. Furthermore, there is a critical need to promote arboriculture as a rewarding career so that new students and trainees are attracted.
Height-Diameter Relations of Maple Street Trees
Authors: Nowak David
Published: June 2022

Height and diameter measurements were taken for silver, sugar and Norway maple street trees in Rochester and Syracuse, New York. Mature silver maples proved to be the tallest of the three species. Average sugar maple' height was consistently taller than Norway maple' height until diameters reached 28 inches. Average mature tree height for all three species level off in the mid to upper 70-foot range. Tree age estimates were derived from the literature. After about the age of 35 years, silver maples appear to dominate the maples in terms of tree height. Height-diameter and heightapproximate age curves are given.
History and Range of Norway Maple
Authors: Nowak David , Rowntree Rowan
Published: June 2022

The Norway maple, Acer platanoldes, was introduced into the United States about 1756 after being cultivated in England since 1683. This species remained in relative obscurity in the U.S. until the mid- to late-1800's, but is now one of the most popular urban trees. In certain regions of the United States, Norway maples dominate street tree populations and commonly escape to compete with native species. The extensive use of this species in North America has led to various problems across its new range. Some of these problems may be overcome by future introductions from its native range in Eurasia

Published: June 2022

The existing research on lightning protection focuses on risk assessment or equipment selection. There has not been any thorough research about lightning protection including risk assessment for a building in order to identify the risks when selecting lightning protection equipment according to technical requirements and cost optimization. The objective of the current paper is to propose a new risk computational method of damages by lightning for a Television and Radio Station (TRS). The new computational method consists of nine steps for identifying two risk indices, human life loss (R1) and service loss (R2). If the value of R1 is higher than the regulatory limit value RT1 and the value of R2 is higher than the regulatory limit value RT2, the damage risks due to lightning are very serious. Therefore, the TRS is necessary to select lightning protection solutions to reduce these risks. In addition, the paper proposes a six-step procedure for selecting and testing surge protective devices. The proposed calculations are then applied to a real TRS in Vietnam, and some testing results are simulated in Matlab-Simulink.
