THE PROMOTION OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE: THE CASE OF GREECE
Authors: Tzianakopoulou Theodora , Manesis Nikolaos
Published: February 2021

Organizational culture constitutes a fundamental characteristic of the educational organism because, on one hand, it contributes to the shaping of its character and the way of thinking of its members and, on the other hand, it is connected to the productivity of educators and the academic performance of students. Pivotal is the role of the educator in shaping the culture of the educational organism, a culture that moulds the imprint and identity of the school unit and constitutes a criterion for its effectiveness. Culture constitutes a tool in the hands of the leader in order to goad the members of the school community into a developmental trajectory, creating organizational conditions which contribute to learning outcomes and positive change. We conducted a survey using semi-structured interviews on a number of principals of secondary education school units within Attica Prefecture, relative to the way in which they promote organizational culture in their school unit, the role that other stakeholders have, the promotion of cooperative climate and the association of culture and learning outcomes. A lack of strategic orientation for the promotion of culture is clearly evident from the results. The ways in which the members of educational community are involved in organizational culture, cumulatively evaluated, indicate a strategic handling of the promotion of organizational culture. Evaluated, though, separately they are deprived of potency and reassert the incapability in approaching culture holistically. Practices for the consolidation of cooperative climate and the principal's relationship with learning outcomes are confirmed.

Effects of Attentional Focus on Repetitions-to-Failure & Motor Unit Excitation During Submaximal Bench Press Performance
Authors: Collum Connor , Snarr Ronald , Siekirk Nicholas , Wilson Samuel
Published: February 2021

Attentional focus strategies refer to the use of cues or other stimuli to enhance an individual’s concentration for the purpose of improving performance within a given task. PURPOSE: To examine the effects of an internal (INT), external proximal (EPr), and external distal (ED) method of attentional focus on motor unit excitation and repetitions-to-failure (RTF) during submaximal bench press performance. METHODS: Twenty-five recreationally-active males and females completed a one-repetition maximum (1RM) bench press test, followed by three days of submaximal testing at 85% 1RM to muscular failure. For each submaximal day, a specific attentional focus strategy was given by auditory cues (i.e., INT, EPr, ED) with the individual instructed to focus solely on the cue. Motor unit recruitment of the anterior deltoid, pectoralis major, and triceps brachii was measured, via electromyography (EMG), for each repetition for all interventions. RESULTS: Results indicated no differences for motor unit excitation (chest: p=0.59; triceps: p=0.50; deltoids: p=0.17) or RTF (p=0.89) among the three conditions. The INT cue, as compared to EPr and ED, elicited a ~7-10% average increase in pectoralis major motor unit excitation, despite an average of one less repetition. All effect sizes were deemed small or trivial, except for RTF between INT and ED which elicited a moderate effect size (ES=0.55). CONCLUSIONS: These findings support previous literature demonstrating increases in motor unit excitation with an internal attentional focus. However, this strategy may place a greater demand on the targeted musculature to complete a given task; thus, decreasing performance.

Published: February 2021

This study aims to analyze the disposition factors in the implementation of the National Health Insurance Program-Healthy Indonesia Card in Makassar City. This research uses qualitative methods. This research focuses on disposition factors in the implementation of health insurance service delivery policies at the Guarantee Administration with a phenomenological approach. Sources of data were collected through direct observation and in-depth interviews. The results showed that the disposition in the implementation of the National Health Insurance Program-Healthy Indonesia Card at the Makassar City Social Security Administration is through the appointment of employees in the Social Security Administering Bodies (BPJS) organizational structure at the level. Specific requirements (minimum S1, minimum 5 years work experience as supervisor for the Supervisory Board and directors for the Board of Directors) are considered qualified to hold the position. The selection of branch leaders is imposed by an internal selection system of BPJS Kesehatan. Incentives received by the leadership and employees for determining the amount of salary based on the provisions of the central level and adjusted to the region. The amount of salary / incentive for Makassar City BPJS Health employees is determined according to the lowest Makassar City Minimum Wage, the rest is based on position level. It can be understood that the performance of the Makassar City Healthcare BPJS has not provided the satisfaction of JKK KIS users because there are still complaints from prospective participants who are still taking care of membership, even though it is admittedly the process of validating data originating from the kelurahan, people still consider it slow.

Published: February 2021

This study investigates children information search behaviour to inform about their search characteristics. The study uses a qualitative approach by observing and noting the children’s searching process. A total of 30 children aged 7-9 years participated in this study. The unobtrusively observation sessions were video-recorded on children's searching process via the Web. Probing interviews were used to gather understanding on how the children perceive information trustworthiness. The data was analysed using thematic coding approach. The finding highlighted two main characteristics of children search: Credible Searcher and Convenience Searcher. The children in general could gauge information trustworthiness and have confidence with regard to the relevance, reliability and the credibility of the resources. The children do not consider source reputation and currency as an important criterion when seeking information. This study contributes to a better understanding of information trustworthiness as reflected in young children’s information seeking processing.
Determinants of Zakat Behavior
Authors: Asiati Diah Isnaini , Nopriyansah Reza
Published: February 2021

Zakat is a popular Islamic weapon in shaping the welfare of society which has moral, social, and economic values. Economically, zakat balances social life by distributing wealth from rich people to poor societies. However, the greatness that is aimed to be realized was not sufficient in encouraging people to implement zakat itself, even for its value owners which is Moslem’s community. This is why the target of obtaining zakat in each region as well as national does not always achieved. This research tries to find answers that explain why people are willing to pay zakat. The development of the idea is carried out by taking all the indicators that indicate the willingness of people to pay zakat. The number of indicators reaches 52 statements. The research was developed with a causal design based on primary data. A total of 100 people were determined by cluster sampling who were involved in filling out questionnaires related to zakat behavior. The respondents came from all sub-districts in Palembang City. The data obtained is then processed using analysis factor in order to determine the choice factors that can be used as the basis for zakat behavior. The selected factors are then processed using multiple linear regression. The results showed that there are 12 factors that can be identified as the basis for zakat behavior. Following this, the test results proved that all factors influence zakat behavior and there are partially various results. Among these factors are knowledge, belief, external motivation, work, and institutions; they have been shown to significantly influence zakat behavior. As for promotion, persuasion, internal motivation, WOM, income, distribution, and individual sales, the results proved that they have insignificant effect to the behavior of zakat people. Among these factors, personal income and sales showed a negative influence.
The Use of Proverbs and Idiomatic Expressions in Chinua Achebe’s ‘No Longer at Ease’ and ‘Arrow of God’
Authors: Bakheet Khaleel Ismail Khaleel
Published: February 2021

The main aim of this paper is to critically analyze and examine the use of proverbs and idiomatic expressions in the two novels of Chinua Achebe; ‘No Longer at Ease’ and ‘Arrow of God’. It basically probes deconstructively, the sociocultural norms, traditions, and communal practices in Achebe’s narratives as exemplified via proverbs and idiomatic expressions in the selected texts. It is an analytical descriptive and thematic study whereby, proverbs are carefully sorted out, explained and analyzed according the contexts of their occurrences. After a thorough analysis of the primary texts, the paper concludes that, Achebe has skillfully uses the proverbs as vessels of folklore and oral traditions and to buttress is ideas in addition to present his people’s collective thoughts, beliefs, cultural values and lifestyle. Thus, understanding his novels readers are recommended to contextualize his texts and put them within the confines of his schematic cultural milieu; because Achebe has juxtaposed the meanings of these proverbs manipulatively to project some aspects of African cultural and folkloric elements against the Western stereotypes.

Clinical usefulness of a new method to improve transradial crossing by coronary catheters
Authors: Ungureanu Claudiu , Blaimont Marc , Auslender Jacques , de Meester Antoine , Aminian Adel
Published: February 2021

Aims – The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a new technique for crossing the radial artery in case of severe refractory arterial spasm. Methods and Results – We conducted a prospective, non-randomized, single center study to evaluate a new technique „Pressure Facilitated Crossing” (PFC) that can facilitate radial artery crossing with coronary catheters by injecting saline solution directly by an automated pump system trough the introducer sheath. The primary endpoint was technical success which was defined as successful catheter passage after PFC. The secondary endpoint was the rate of access-site vascular complications. From January 2018 to December 2019, 22 patients with severe and refractory radial artery spasm, with an inability to advance coronary catheters, were prospectively included in a single center. The PFC technique was used as a bailout option and was successful in 21 patients (95%). No vascular complication was noted. Overall, this strategy was well tolerated despite a short-duration of pain during saline injection. Conclusion – In case of severe radial artery spasm during transradial access, the use of the PFC technique was effective and safe for crossing the radial artery with coronary catheters after failure of conventional approaches. This bailout method has the potential to decrease the need for vascular access conversion during transradial access.

Objectives – To evaluate the predictors of three-year cardiovascular mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in a Romanian tertiary cardiovascular center. Methods – Consecutive patients treated by PCI in the Emergency Institute for Cardiovascular Diseases and Transplantation of Targu Mures were included prospectively in a local PCI Registry. Demographic, clinical, and procedural parameters of the patients enrolled in the year 2016 were statistically analyzed as possible predictors of three-year cardiovascular mortality post-PCI. Results – 1079 patients were included: 254 (23.5%) with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI), 278 (25.8%) with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS) and 547 (50.7%) with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). Three-year cardiovascular mortality was 20.1%, 10.8% and 5.7% after PCI for STEMI, NSTEACS and CCS, respectively. Cox proportional hazards regression evidenced as independent predictors of long-term mortality after PCI: low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), renal dysfunction, presentation with cardiogenic shock or with cardiac arrest in the case of acute coronary syndromes, and the history of signifi cant valvular heart disease and low LVEF in the case of CCS (all p ≤0.01). Conclusions – Simple clinical variables but no procedural factors were the main predictors of 3-year cardiovascular mortality after PCI in this all-comers population.

Published: February 2021

Anterior STEMI (ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction) is associated with the worst prognosis of all infarction locations. We report the case of a 37-year-old male patient who presented for two hours of severe chest pain and was diagnosed with Killip I anterior STEMI in the emergency room. The emergency coronary angiogram revealed acute thrombotic ostial LAD (left anterior descending artery) occlusion and acute thrombotic ostial ramus intermedius (RI) near-occlusion. Thrombus aspiration for the LAD occlusion was performed and a large thrombus was extracted, followed by the artery’s reperfusion. However, we noticed that there was a large diagonal branch providing septal perforating arteries and that there was a distal LAD occlusion. We implanted a drug-eluting stent on the site of the proximal LAD lesion, but we could not obtain any flow in the distal occluded LAD. The patient underwent dual antiplatelet and unfractionated heparin treatment, and, 8 days later, we performed another coronary angiogram. To our surprise, there was very few residual thrombi in the previously occluded LAD segment, and there was no more thrombus in the RI. We noticed TIMI 3 flow in all coronary arteries and an increase in the patient’s left ventricular ejection fraction was also recorded.

Published: February 2021

Global and local corrosion techniques were used to study the corrosion behavior of weld joints of a high-strength low-alloy steel (LNE500) typically used in the automotive industry in Brazil. The welded joints were prepared by gas metal arc welding. Two welding transfer modes were used to obtain different heat inputs: pulsed (PUL) and cold metal transfer (CMT). Local and global corrosion analysis techniques presented complementary information. While the local in situ analysis (scanning vibrating electrode technique) revealed the weld metal (WM) as the region where corrosion started, conventional electrochemical techniques (potentiodynamic polarization [PP] and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy [EIS]) revealed a higher corrosion rate in the coarse-grained heat affected zone, which was preferentially corroded. A superior corrosion resistance of the WM obtained using CMT over the PUL transfer mode was revealed by EIS and PP. In addition, the results from CMT and PUL samples show that the austenite grain size affects the propagation of the corrosion process. The results are discussed based on microstructural and compositional aspects of the different regions that characterize the welded joints.
Efficacy of an Intervention to Teach Zippering: A Two-Group Control Study
Authors: Silverman Fern , Knight Carrie , Grasso Anna
Published: February 2021

Importance: Engaging and pulling up a zipper is a functional skill needed by young children.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of a standard zippering teaching vest presented with general verbal prompts to a modified zippering teaching vest presented with a related story and vocabulary among typically developing preschoolers.

Design: An experimental, two-group, pre–post design.

Setting: A local preschool.

Participants: Fifty preschoolers ages 3 yr, 6 mo to 4 yr, 11 mo were recruited.

Intervention: Eligible children received three zippering practice sessions from occupational therapy and speech-language pathology graduate students supervised by faculty; either a standard (control group) or modified (comparison group) zippering teaching vest was used.

Outcomes and Measures: Individual sessions were video recorded. We coded data using a score of 2, 1, or 0, indicating degree of success through seven zippering steps. Using IBM SPSS Statistics (Version 26) for analysis, we conducted independent t tests to compare measures between the two groups.

Results: Each cohort consisted of 14 preschoolers (N = 28); 252 separate zippering trials were analyzed. Pretrial zippering ability demonstrated no initial differences. Results indicate that both groups advanced their skills with added practice; however, the comparison group performed statistically significantly better than the control group, beginning with the second set of interventions.

Conclusions and Relevance: Beginning with a second exposure to a novel instructional method, preschoolers increased their success by completing more of the seven identified steps of zippering than those receiving traditional input. This study demonstrates the ability of occupational therapy–speech-language pathology partnerships to create innovative treatments that facilitate occupationally based skill acquisition.

What This Article Adds: This article adds evidence supporting the use of a modified practice zippering vest with added visual and language cues to teach zippering skills to occupational therapy clients.

Shakespeare and Meisner
Authors: Gonsalves Aileen , Irish Tracy
Published: February 2021

This practical handbook is invaluable for anyone performing, teaching, studying or simply wanting a new way to enjoy Shakespeare. It provides an outline of Meisner’s work and legacy, a discussion of that legacy in the light of the enduring global popularity of Shakespeare, and a wealth of practical exercises drawn from Meisner’s techniques.

Shakespeare writes about the truth in human relationships and human hearts. Sanford Meisner’s work unlocks truthful acting. They would seem a perfect match. Yet, following Meisner’s note to his actors that ‘text is your greatest enemy’, Shakespeare and Meisner are often considered ‘strange bedfellows’.

The rhetorical complexity of Shakespeare’s text can often be perceived as rules an actor must learn in order to perform Shakespeare ‘properly’. Meisner’s main rule is that ‘you can’t say ouch until you’ve been pinched’: in other words, an actor must genuinely feel something in order to react in a performance which is alive to the moment. This book explores how actors can use Meisner’s tools of ‘acting is reacting’ to discover the infinite freedom within the apparent constraints of Shakespeare’s text.
More-Than-Human Literacies in Early Childhood
Authors: Hackett Abigail
Published: February 2021

More-Than-Human Literacies in Early Childhood draws on a three-year ethnographic study into the role of place, materiality and the body in the literacies of young children aged 12–36 months. It builds a picture of how children participate in, or become caught up in, literacies and language in the contexts of their everyday lives.

Throughout the book, recognised understandings of young children are decentred in favour of experiential knowing of parents and communities, body-place knowing and ordinary affects. Abigail Hackett argues that young children’s literacies are always more-than-human, involving sounds, gestures and movements between humans and nonhuman places and things. By paying close attention to the more-than-human nature of these literacies, which rely on bodies, places, animals, humans, objects and atmospheres for their ongoingness, a case is made for the decentring of young children.

The book will be of particular interest to researchers looking at feminist-new materialism, posthumanism, affect theory, and critical literacy in early childhood settings.
The Terminator
Authors: French Sean
Published: February 2021

Made on a low budget, The Terminator was one of the most influential films of the 1980s. Combining explosive special effects and an intricate time-travel plot, it set Arnold Schwarzenegger on the road to superstardom and allowed its director, James Cameron, to go on to make some of the most expensive films of all time. The Terminator quickly found a cult following who appreciated its deadpan humour, comic-book violence and elaborate variations on standard science fiction themes. Resolutely populist, accomplished and instantly memorable, The Terminator has dramatically outlived its humble beginnings.

Sean French’s insightful study traces the film’s production history, its sources and the extent of its influence. He argues that The Terminator’s visual flair, stylised acting and choreographed violence are so compelling not so much because they offer intellectual rewards but because they traffic in the darker, more visceral pleasures of moviegoing.

In his foreword to this new edition, Sean French reflects on Terminator sequels and reboots, suggesting that the original film has more in common with the gritty visions of the New Hollywood than present-day action blockbusters.
¿Desdolarizar para qué?
Authors: Martínez Julia Evelyn
Published: February 2021

El objetivo de este trabajo es ubicar el debate sobre dolarización o desdolarización que se lleva a cabo actualmente en El Salvador, en el contexto más amplio de las tendencias sistémicas del capitalismo y su impacto sobre la economía salvadoreña y centroamericana. La tesis principal que se sostiene es que el debate sobre la dolarización versus la desdolarización no se puede reducir a un problema de eficiencia o de equilibrios macroeconómicos o microeconómicos que restringen el crecimiento económico o la acumulación de capital, sino que este debate debe ubicarse en el contexto más general de las estrategias económicas en marcha en El Salvador y en Centroamérica. Hasta ahora, las posiciones en el debate de la dolarización han estado centradas en aspectos tales como la responsabilidad que tiene la decisión de mantener una economía dolarizada y sin política monetaria (y cambiaria) sobre el rezago de la tasa de crecimiento del PIB, de la inversión privada o de la competividad de las exportaciones salvadoreñas con respecto al resto de Centroamérica y de Suramérica. Poco o nada se ha mencionado hasta ahora cómo el desdolarizar (o mantener la dolarización) puede incidir en la distribución del poco o mucho crecimiento que se logre en El Salvador. De igual manera, cuando se insiste en que la desdolarización es una de las claves para incrementar la inversión privada nacional y extranjera, todavía no se ha abordado cuántos empleos decentes (por utilizar el término acuñado por la OIT) se pueden esperar de este aumento en los niveles de inversión, especialmente de cara a las tendencias mundiales que indican que la recuperación de la acumulación de capital en el norte y en el sur está acompañada de una tendencia a la precariedad laboral de los nuevos empleos que se crean. Pero sobre todo, no se ha tocado ni siquiera tangencialmente el “tema tabú” de la desdolarización y de la recuperación de la posibilidad de devaluar la moneda: ¿en el corto plazo será recomendable la opción de devaluar la moneda para mejorar la situación de la balanza comercial? Y si la respuesta es afirmativa, ¿esa medida significará un mejoramiento de la posición competitiva de las exportaciones nacionales a costa de la caída de los salarios reales de las trabajadoras y los trabajadores? Por ello, en este trabajo se insiste en que el debate sobre la dolarización o desdolarización se sitúe en el contexto más amplio de las estrategias económicas actuales en El Salvador y en Centroamérica y, más aún, en el contexto del debate sobre la necesidad de transformación de dichas estrategias.

The expert system is a system that seeks to adopt human knowledge into technology, so that technology can solve problems as is usually done by experts. A good expert system is designed to solve a particular problem by imitating the work of the experts. With expert systems, the layman can solve quite complicated problems, because in fact the problem can only be solved with the help of experts. For experts, the expert system will also assist its activities as a highly experienced assistant. Currently there are many studies that raise cases about expert systems. This study aims to create systematic on expert systems based on a collection of expert system cases and classify them based on the tools used, implementation types and frequently used methods.

Published: February 2021

Dalam tulisan ini memaparkan pembuatan aplikasi kriptografi dan mengimplementasikan model enkripsi pada datagambar. Tujuannya untuk keamanan pada penyimpanan file gambar. Proses enkripsi pada gambar akan menghasilkan hasilenkripsi yang dapat merahasiakan gambar. Sebaliknya, proses dekripsi akan mengembalikan gambar yang dirahasiakantersebut kembali menjadi gambar aslinya. Metode yang digunakan dalam enkripsi dan dekripsi data gambar ini adalahkombinasi fungsi XOR dan mode operasi CBC (chipherblock Chaining). Dimana enkripsi yang dilakukan pertama kali denganfungsi XOR kemudian dilanjutkan dengan enkripsi menggunakan mode operasi CBC. Mengkombinasikan fungsi XOR denganmode operasi CBC bertujuan untuk meningkatkan keamanan data gambar, sehingga kriptanalis menjadi lebih sulit untukmenampilkan plaintext (gambar aslinya). Dalam pembuatan aplikasi CryptoImage ini menggunakan Netbeans yang merupakansalah satu aplikasi Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Java. Aplikasi ini digunakan khusus untuk mengembangkanprogram java. Dalam Netbeans ini, untuk aplikasi mobile menggunakan Java 2 Platform Micro Edition (J2ME). Ketersediaanfasilitas kriptografi pada platform J2ME ini memungkinkan kita untuk memanipulasi data-data agar kerahasiaannya bisaterjamin.

The GMPC Thesis and Opinions - A platform for science globalization
Authors: Ntougias Spyridon
Published: February 2021

The research effort is effective when published and becomes available to the scientific community. Scientist's professional success correlates to a greater extent with their research "internationalization." Although many international journals are committed to disseminating research, there are many difficulties accessing master's and doctoral theses due to language barriers. Additionally, publishing "Opinion or editorials" on hot topics based on the findings from empirical evidence on a global scale might explore ideas and stimulate researchers to focus on such topics. The GMPC-Thesis and Opinion platform will give master and Ph.D. students the chance to publish their thesis-review on an international platform. Moreover, it will allow the pioneers in the sciences to show their opinions in a global portal.
Avian influenza infections in poultry farms in Egypt, a continuous challenge: Current problems related to pathogenesis, epidemiology, and diagnosis
Authors: Hassan Kareem , Harder Timm , Hafez Hafez  M.
Published: February 2021

This study's main objective was to update avian influenza (AI) epidemiological situation, including molecular characterization reassortment analysis and genotyping of circulating AI virus (AIV) subtypes in Egyptian poultry farms between 2017 and 2019. As a necessity for such work, improved diagnostic tools were developed for AIV detection. Subtype H9N2 infections were detected in 27 out of 39 examined farms and were frequently mixed with high pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI)AIV H5N8 in 22/39 farms. Next-generation and Sanger sequencing helped to define novel reassortant HPAIV H5N2 and low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAIV) H9N2 in Egypt. Systematic reassortment analysis confirmed at least seven genotypes of HPAI H5NX viruses of clade 2.3.4.4b and three genotypes of LPAIV H9N2 circulating in Egypt. Several internal genes of AIVs previously detected in wild birds in Egypt were represented in the genome of novel reassortants of both HP H5Nx and H9N2 viruses suggesting local reassortment processes.

Mufti of Belgrade Munīrī Belġrādī and Hamzevis
Authors: Dostović Nihad
Published: February 2021

This paper presents accounts in the Ottoman language on the movement of Hamzevis and their activities written by the famous mufti and muderis of Belgrade Munīrī Belġrādī by the beginning of the 17th century. In two of his seventeen works that are known to us, Belġrādī speaks directly about the Hamzevis, their founder and activities, and in two works, writing about other topics, he indirectly touches on the Hamzevis, their teachings and behaviour. Belġrādī’s accounts are important because they give a picture of the Ottoman State’s attitude towards religious movements as well as the positioning of a scholar, such as Belġrādī, regarding these movements. The paper also points out that the Hamzevi movement was not only of a religious character, but also had a potential to be a carrier of socio-political changes. This paper provides basic academic literature on Hamzevis, a brief overview of the author’s biography, a Latin transcription of Belġrādī’s reports with a paraphrased translation into Bosnian, and an analysis of these data in the light of socio-political events in the Ottoman Empire during the second half of the 16th century.
