Understanding Multigenerational Workplace
Authors: Amah Okechukwu Ethelbert
Published: July 2024

Diversity is like a double-edged sword because it leads to innovation and the creation of new wealth when managed, and creates confusion, conflict, and a silos mentality that drains the organization's resources when not managed. There are at least four generations in the workplace in a modern organization. One positive potential of this workforce is the collective intelligence of employees, which can drive competitive advantage. This can be harnessed only when the workforce is managed. The book chapter identified the generational differences that arose from significant life events in each generation. It also defined a diversity model that shows leadership behaviors that create a work climate that values and celebrates differences in the workforce. Leadership behaviors drive the creation of a work climate that guarantees the three ‘C's needed for the engagement of all generations to harness their collective intelligence for superior organizational performance.
Effect of Carbon Tax on CO2 Emissions
Authors: Varoglu Nesibe
Published: July 2024

The aim of this chapter is to analyze the impact of the carbon tax on carbon emissions in Norway. In the chapter, per capita income, carbon tax, and CO2 emissions series were used. The focus of the study is to obtain results with higher accuracy by taking advantage of the power of Fourier-based unit root and cointegration tests. For this reason, as a method, in addition to the traditional unit root tests, Fourier KPSS stationarity test and Fourier ADL cointegration test were applied to the series. The Fourier KPSS stationarity test showed that all series had unit roots at level, and the Fourier ADL cointegration test showed the existence of a long-term relationship between the series. The findings indicate that a 1% increase in carbon taxes in Norway could reduce carbon emissions by 0.046% in the long term. In other words, carbon taxes implemented in Norway have been found to have a very limited effect on reducing CO2 emissions.

Authors: Kuo Chang Yu , Tsai Ying Kuan , Nieh Jo Yen , Tian Yi Shiuan
Published: July 2024

The research was conducted on incorporating short carbon fiber and multi-layer graphene into ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) to improve the dynamic mechanical performance and electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (SE). In the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness testing, the results shown that UHPC with uniformly distributed conductive fibers exhibited superior shielding effectiveness at high frequencies. In comparison to normal concrete, the UHPC demonstrated the capability to withstand higher impact energy. Simultaneously enhancing both electromagnetic shielding characteristics and dynamic mechanical performance of cementitious materials can be challenging. In this study, employing a composite structure was effective solution to overcome this issue. In accordance with the experimental results, a scaled testing protective facility has been constructed, and the research results could provide the reference for the design and construction of protective structures.

Published: July 2024

The determination of minimum performance criteria for residential buildings has encouraged the development of new technologies by companies linked to the construction industry. In this context, the acoustic performance of floor systems is of great importance. One of the solutions to improve the performance of these systems is the incorporation of lightweight aggregates to replace natural fine aggregates in the subfloor mortars, with the aim of attenuating the noise caused by impact, thus improving acoustic performance. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the properties of a subfloor mortar in a 1:4 ratio (cement:sand), with the incorporation of silicone mold residue, replacing natural fine aggregate, in proportions of 10%, 20%, and 30%. %, and a water/cement ratio (w/c) of 0.93. Tests were performed in the fresh and hardened state, such as incorporated air content, mass density, consistency index, flexural tensile strength, compressive strength, water absorption by capillarity, in addition to a specific test to determine the difference in sound pressure level between specimens. The results indicated that the mortar consistency was influenced by the incorporation of waste, increasing with its incorporation. The increase in consistency positively influenced the mechanical resistance of the mortars, which showed an increase with higher residue content, due to the reduction in the amount of voids. Consequently, densities also increased with high waste content. The acoustic test showed satisfactory results, with good attenuation of 10%, indicating an 8 dB improvement in the sound pressure level. The results presented show that the residue has great potential for acoustic attenuation.
TLR10 (CD290) Is a Regulator of Immune Responses in Human Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells
Authors: Deb Pratik , Singh Sukhwinder , Kalyoussef Evelyne , Hess Nicholas J , Tapping Richard I , Fitzgerald-Bocarsly Patricia
Published: July 2024

TLRs are the most thoroughly studied group of pattern-recognition receptors that play a central role in innate immunity. Among them, TLR10 (CD290) remains the only TLR family member without a known ligand and clearly defined functions. One major impediment to studying TLR10 is its absence in mice. A recent study on TLR10 knock-in mice demonstrated its intrinsic inhibitory role in B cells, indicating that TLR10 is a potential drug target in autoimmune diseases. In this study, we interrogated the expression and function of TLR10 in human plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). We have seen that primary human pDCs, B cells, and monocytes constitutively express TLR10. Upon preincubation with an anti-TLR10 Ab, production of cytokines in pDCs was downregulated in response to stimulation with DNA and RNA viruses. Upon further investigation into the possible mechanism, we documented phosphorylation of STAT3 upon Ab-mediated engagement of TLR10. This leads to the induction of inhibitory molecule suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) expression. We have also documented the inhibition of nuclear translocation of transcription factor IFN regulatory factor 7 (IRF7) in pDCs following TLR10 engagement. Our data provide the (to our knowledge) first evidence that TLR10 is constitutively expressed on the surface of human pDCs and works as a regulator of their innate response. Our findings indicate the potential of harnessing the function of pDCs by Ab-mediated targeting of TLR10 that may open a new therapeutic avenue for autoimmune disorders.

The analysis of research undertaken in respect of a discipline over a certain period of time can be very revealing with reference to the position of a section of that discipline. Although not all current history research projects were included in the analysis the result is, nevertheless, surprising. In this case it appears that urban and regional history are no longer such a neglected field of research as generally accepted.
Handel langs die vroegste roetes
Authors: De Vaal J.B.
Published: July 2024

In a previous article the earliest trade routes of the Northern and Eastern Transvaal interior were reconstructed. To shed more light on the trading itself, attention is directed in this follow-up article to the articles of trade, the traders, and the trading practices which were evident along the routes. Numerous archaeological discoveries point to the fact that articles of copper, tin, iron, and gold in particular were in great demand. These trading articles illustrate the material culture of the different Black tribes on the trade routes, as well as the transference of culture from the interaction with their trading partners (among whom were the Portuguese, Arabs, and Hollanders) which took place in the interior as well as along the east coast. The manner in which the trade was practised confirms that there was a lively and well-organised trading structure in a variety of articles and going back many years.

Authors: Minnaar A. de V.
Published: July 2024

The development of Richards Bay, on the Mhlatuze Lagoon in Zululand, as a harbour was an event of the 1970s. Before this it had primarily been used as a fishing and vacationing spot by the inhabitants of nearby Empangeni. However, there had been numerous attempts to establish a harbour on the Mhlatuze Lagoon but none of them got beyond the planning stage. This article deals with the naming and development of Richards Bay. Starting as a trading store-cum-hotel, it became a favourite fishing spot and a holiday resort after World War II, and finally a thriving export harbour. It has now become the industrial growth point of Zululand.
Vrymanne, ereburgerskap en die vryheid van toegang tot dorpe en stede
Authors: Van Breda P.
Published: July 2024

The contemporary custom in South Africa of conferring the honorary citizenship of a municipality on an individual originated in England and not, as at times argued, with the Romans. During the Middle Ages the so-called freemen were the only persons in England who enjoyed the full privileges of local management areas (boroughs). The word "freeman" did, however, as a result of legislation passed in the 19th century, lose its original meaning and much of its prestige value. Consequently a new title was created in 1885 to give to prominent people, namely "honorary freeman" (in Afrikaans known as "ereburgerskap"). In South Africa honorary freeman is an honour which has been granted since the second half of the 20th century by the council of a municipality to persons who in their opinion are worthy of it. There are no financial benefits attached to it for the recipient. In the Cape and Natal honorary citizenships are granted by ordinances in which honorary citizenship is specifically described. There are no ordinances of this kind in the Free State and Transvaal; there it is done in accordance with the authority vested in municipal councils. The tradition of granting freedom of entry into towns and cities to military units originated in London, England. It is a symbolic gesture by the civilian population to indicate their faith in a specific military unit.

Authors: Bhuvaneshwari N. G. , Usha G. V. , Lakshminarayan Nagesh
Published: July 2024

Background:

Regular utilization of dental services enables to improve and maintain oral and general health, in old age. The study assessed the factors acting as barriers and their association with the utilization of dental services among the elderly population aged 65–74 years in Davangere, India.

Methodology:

A cross-sectional door-to-door survey using a self-designed, structured, validated questionnaire was carried out with a sample of 1440 elders aged 65–74 years residing in Davangere city. They were randomly selected through a multistage sampling technique. Information regarding demographic details, systemic conditions, oral hygiene practices, perceived need, utilization rate of dental services, and factors acting as barriers for the utilization of dental services among elderly was collected. “Cronbach’s α test and test–retest” tests were performed to assess the validity and reliability of the questionnaire. The Chi-square test, Pearson correlation test, and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to assess the association between various factors acting as barriers and utilization of dental services.

Results:

Fifty percent of elders perceived a problem in their oral cavity, and 41.4% had utilized dental service in the previous year. The factors such as location of clinic, appointment system, expense of treatment, self-care, inability to comprehend the dentist explanation, availability of specialist, and service on weekends were highly significant in the regression model (P < 0.0001).

Conclusion:

Education, economic condition, negative perception of dental treatment, presence of systemic conditions, inability to comprehend dentist explanation, and use of self-oral care were the most important barriers for the utilization of dental services.

Authors: Zakaria Idham Halil , Siswanto Dian , Mustafa Irfan
Published: July 2024

Microplastic degradation by bacteria can degrade low-density polyethylene (LDPE). This study aimed to analyze the potential of Ambon Bay bacteria for microplastic degradation, the condition of microplastics after degradation, and identification of the potential for microplastic degradation. The results of isolation revealed as many as 20 bacterial isolates, which correlated with physicochemical conditions in the waters of Ambon Bay. Nine of them could degrade microplastics as indicated by the presence of a clear zone, namely KA1, KA2, KA3, KA4, KA5, KA9, KA10, KS6, and KS8. They were checked for biofilm formation, microplastic hydrophobicity, and percentage of microplastic weight reduction. Four isolates with the highest percentage of microplastic weight reduction on day 40 were KA1, KA2, KA3, and KA10 at 36.19%, 10.16%, 28.39%, and 17.07%, respectively. The results of LDPE microplastic degradation showed differences using field emission scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (FESEM/EDS), attenuated total reflection-fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The bacterial isolates identified were KA1 (Bacillus cereus), KA2 (Bacillus toyonesis), KA3 (Bacillus paramycoides), and KA10 (Escherichia coli). Indigenous bacteria from the waters of Ambon Bay have the potential to degrade LDPE microplastics, which causes structural changes, decreased crystallinity, weight, and C=C groups in microplastics after degradation, with bacterial isolate KA1 identified as Bacillus cereus showing the best potential with degradation of LDPE microplastics by 36.19%.

Authors: Yuningtyas Sitaresmi , Alfarabi Muhammad , Lestari Yunita , Noviardi Harry
Published: July 2024

Kombucha is a fermented tea drink using a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast. This drink has been widely used to maintain blood sugar levels. Meanwhile, leaf boiled water of Syzygium polyanthum (Wight) Walp.  has been used as an alternative medicine for diabetes mellitus in Indonesia. If this herb is made into kombucha, it may have higher antihyperglycemic activity than kombucha from tea leaves. However, there are no scientific reports of antihyperglycemic activity from S. polyanthum leaf kombucha by inhibiting alpha-glucosidase. This study aims to determine the activity and kinetics inhibition of S. polyanthum leaves kombucha against α-glucosidase. Samples were prepared at varying concentrations (12.5, 25, 37.5, 50 g/L), while phytochemical components in the products were identified, and the inhibitory activity as well as kinetics were comprehensively analyzed. In silico evaluations were conducted to further explore the inhibitory activity. The results showed that the products contained secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, saponins, and tannins. The inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase ranged from 81.05 to 89.41%. The inhibition mechanism was identified as uncompetitive, with a Michaelis-Menten constant (KM) of 0.1357 mM and a vmax value of 27.7008 U/ml minute. Several metabolites showed promising inhibition potential due to their strong binding interactions with α-glucosidase, including hydrogen bonding (H-bond), hydrophobic interactions, van der Waals forces, and electrostatic forces. Additionally, two metabolites, farnesol and α-pinene, were found to interact with other human proteins. These observations showed the potential of S. polyanthum leaves kombucha as a health-promoting beverage that might aid blood sugar control in diabetic individuals.

The ability to think creatively is very much needed for the next generation of this nation to face global challenges in the future. The increase in technology and the explosion of the population, which is accompanied by a lack of supplies of natural resources, greatly demands the ability to adapt creatively and the ability to find imaginative solutions. The same picture appears in the world of education. The emphasis is more on rote thinking, looking for one correct answer to the questions given. Higher thought processes, including creative thinking, are rarely trained. Attention and research on individual creativity is rarely carried out in schools. To overcome this, the authors apply a learning model, namely Project-Based Learning to improve students' creative thinking skills on enzyme material. This model has characteristics, namely the existence of problems or challenges, determining solutions, collaborative problem solving, making the learning experience more interesting and fun, allowing students to express many ideas, build work skills, and can produce real products. Good il. Based on the results of research conducted at the school where the author works, namely SMA Negeri I Karangnunggal, Tasikmalaya Regency, Class XII IPA 5 students, it turns out that the results are quite good. The students' creative thinking ability, especially on the indicators of fluent thinking, flexible thinking and original thinking showed a fairly good increase. The ability to think in detail and to think in judgment has improved, but needs to be retrained to be even better. Student responses regarding the learning model gave a good response, especially regarding fun learning, but the weakness is that it is less time effective and requires money to make products

The ball toss practice method is a training method that develops the courage to receive the ball. The practice method is for the coach to throw the ball at the student at normal speed or increase the speed level. Students need to embrace the ball toss to get used to receiving a fast ball and hitting the ball hard. This happens regularly with all exercises and as the level increases. Based on the identification of problems encountered in conducting volleyball game activities, does ball-throwing practice increase students' courage to take smashes while playing volleyball? Based on a survey conducted on class XI students of Bantarkalong Vocational High School, we can conclude that: Student enthusiasm is high because student learning activities become more interesting. Cycle I activities show that students are not yet fully active and there are still deficiencies that need to be addressed, but in Cycles II and III students are beginning to get used to how the exercises are applied. Student performance seems to improve with each cycle. In Cycle I, some students achieved a score of 40 and a maximum score of 80. In Cycle II, student scores changed, with a minimum score of 60 and a maximum score of 90. In the Cycle III activity, students can keep the smash ball fluently on the bottom pass and see the score. The lowest is 80 and the highest is 90

Published: July 2024

Mental workload is a workload that is subjective and is owned by individuals in the work sector with a high-risk level of work. Air traffic control (ATC) personnel at the Jakarta Air Traffic Service Center (JATSC) are one of them. This problem needs to be highlighted because the level of air traffic density has been increasing compared to pandemic conditions. It now becomes a “new” habit that needs to be readjusted for JATSC Air Traffic Controllers (ATC) since 2021 (post-pandemic). Thus, this can create a separate mental workload for ATC personnel. The objective of the research to evaluate the mental workload of air traffic services during the post-covid-19 pandemic at JATSC using the Subjective Workload Assessment Technique (SWAT) method. The final result of the research is that ATC personnel are very concerned with the time load factor (Time) in carrying out air traffic service duties. A total of 16.67% of personnel emphasized the stress workload factor, and 8.33% emphasized the mental effort workload factor in carrying out their duties. The final score of the SWAT test was 46.2 in the afternoon shift and 48.6 in the procedural control task which indicated that the ATC personnel felt burdened with the afternoon shift and procedural control tasks.

Noise in the workplace is a health issue in several countries. Similarly, in the aerospace industry, advanced aircraft, whether for civilian transportation or military purposes, pose risks due to exposure to aircraft noise, which passengers are continuously subjected to at relatively higher intensities and for prolonged periods. The problem of this research is to identify, reduce, and prevent the impact of aircraft noise and compliance with the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) on hearing impairment among cadet pilots at the Indonesian Aviation Academy in Banyuwangi. The research objective includes collecting medical records of 57 cadets, measuring aircraft noise levels, and conducting a questionnaire survey. The method used in this study is descriptive quantitative, with 57 respondents. Data analysis was performed to determine the compliance of cadets with PPE usage at the Indonesian Aviation Academy in Banyuwangi. The results show that the noise produced by the aircraft operated by the academy exceeds the permissible noise level (PNL), and the questionnaire results indicate low compliance with PPE usage. However, medical record data reveal that the majority of cadets still have normal hearing, with only 12.3% or 7 respondents categorized as having mild hearing impairment. These findings imply a positive and significant influence of aircraft noise level and PPE compliance on hearing impairment among trainees.

We used a GARCH-MIDAS framework to demonstrate that, in addition to the food system, temperature anomalies can cause food price volatility. We show that technology shock can act as an effect modifier between food prices and climate change. We infer that initiatives targeted at mitigating climate change from causing excessive volatility in food prices should involve technology in addition to modification of food demand and supply processes.
