Authors: Mir Abdul Raziq  , Jaspreet Kaur
Published: August 2022

The repetitive, high, and targeted stresses placed on pavements, whether bound or unbound, may
hasten the ageing and collapse of the road structure. The main aim of the study is stabilization of
subgrade using geosynthetics .Soil stabilization is a process of treating a soil to maintain, alter or
improve the performance of the soil as a construction material and very importantly to minimize the
cost of earthworks. In order to determine the preliminary and engineering (strength) testing of the
samples, analysis were carried out. In this study, the results of studies on the performance of nonwoven geotextile within subgrade are carried out experimentally utilizing the California Bearing
Ratio(CBR) testing arrangement.The experimental results give a clear indication that the presence of
geotextiles increases the CBR value of the soil thus, geotextile should be employed as a modernized
form of improving road construction on poor soils and to reduce the layer thickness of pavements

Published: August 2022

The extensive body of literature focuses on examining the role of social media apps in health-related matters. Conversely, developing county like Pakistan, there is lack of empirical evidence regarding social media app influence specifically on health-related matters in developing countries like Pakistan. The study aimed to examine the purpose of social media apps, commonly used apps, impact, and demographic attributes on health-related matters. Three domains of health (physical activity, weight loss, and nutritional choices) were considered among university students in Southern Punjab, Multan, Pakistan. This quantitative study was carried out on 200 university students aged 18-29 years, through a survey design. Results showed the primary reason for using social media apps is to gain health-related information, effectively and conveniently and YouTube is the most preferred application for this purpose. The impact of apps on health-related matters (physical activity, weight loss, and nutritional choices) was found to be significant and measured through regression analysis. Demographic variables, gender, and age were examined relative to study variables (app usage, physical activity, weight loss, and nutritional choices), gender differences are significant in health-related app usage and physical activity, while it remains insignificant in weight loss and nutritional choices. Age differences were significant in in-app usage, physical activity, weight loss, and nutritional choices. The key findings of this particular study could assist app developers and health practitioners to encourage the masses in adopting health-related behaviors and by providing sufficient introductory app-related information by creating realistic performance expectancy thus minimizing the risk perception of the masses.

Authors:   Laboratory: Discourse, Creativity and Society. University Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah, Fes.
Published: August 2022

Vaccination against COVID-19 has been available in Morocco since January 2021. However, some of people report not wanting to be vaccinated. In order to increase the willingness of the population to get vaccinated, the Moroccan government launched its free nationwide vaccination campaign. Therefore, this study attempts to investigate the reasons leading to rejecting the vaccination based on posts from Moroccan Facebook users. Accordingly, Facebook was searched regarding negative attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccination. A thematic analysis was used to analyze the data and to inductively generate codes, subcategories and categories. Based on 100 posts written by Facebook users, three main themes were identified for refusing a COVID-19 vaccination: mistrust of vaccination, health concerns, and lack of information. The study emphasizes the relevance of providing trustworthy and quality-assured information on COVID-19 vaccination to the population.

Authors:   Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Psychology Department, Üsküdar University, Istanbul, Turkey
Published: August 2022

This study aims to examine the relationships between depressive mood, self-deception, and attachment dimensions by using language style of individuals. Participants (N=41) were asked complete an implicit association task, Beck depression scale, experiences in close relation scale. Besides, they were also asked to write down a passage, in which they should have intentionally produced an obvious lie for themselves. Finally, they were asked to report their memory related to the school life. Following previous studies on language style of lying linguistic components were excluded using Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count. Analyses yielded that there was no significant differences in language style for both actual memory notes and intentionally lying conditions for people with low depressive mood (e.g., t-first-person singular (38)=.69, ns). However, there were significant differences between actual memory notes and lying conditions for participants with high depressive mood (e.g., t-first-person plural (38)=3.69, p<.01), signifying that people with depressive mood did not show lying tendency in their actual memory notes, however, this was not the case for people with lower levels of depressive moods. Results of this study confirmed the idea that depressive mood may shadow defence mechanisms like self-deception and people with higher levels of depressive mood would perform lower levels of self-deception. This tendency could also be observed at linguistic dimensions they produced.

Contextualization of the Concept of Fraud Victimization for the Crime of Fraud in Trade Activities Indonesia – China (Victimization Study from the Perspective of Indonesian Exporters)
Authors:   Universitas Indonesia
Published: August 2022

This study aims to examine fraud cases in Indonesia-China trade relations from the point of view of the Indonesian exporters as victims. Empirically and theoretically, the research focuses on gaps in trade relations that trigger the victimization of Indonesian exporters and seeks to uncover economic, political, legal, and cultural asymmetries in accordance with the stages and typology of fraud victimization initiated by Michael Levi (2009). This study contextualizes fraud victimization on the phenomenon of criminogenic asymmetries in Indonesia-China trade relations. The study uses a qualitative approach with an explanatory method, while the data analysis uses a triangulation technique. The results of the study reveal several essential things. First, the victimization cases of Indonesian exporters occur because of the existence of non-legal route options in trade with China that puts the exporters in the category of diffuse victimization. This option is available because it is a rational choice of cost-effective, duty-free, and with no licensing. It is even more dramatic when the government and law enforcement commit victim blaming, then see cases of default as negligence, not fraud. Second, there is a lack of coordination between international trade stakeholders in Indonesia, creating difficulties in assisting entrepreneurs’ processes, especially if the exporters become victims of fraud. Third, the role of groups of perpetrators of organized fraud exists by using the guise of business in Indonesia-China trade relations. Fourth, the fraud victimization experienced by Indonesian exporters is inseparable from the existence of asymmetric criminogenic factors, namely the legal system, technology, knowledge, and culture between the two countries. Fifth, there are empirical and theoretical differences and gaps related to the contextualization of Levi's concept of fraud victimization when placed within the framework of criminogenic asymmetries in the Indonesia-China trade case. This gap is due to the occurence of three export routes that significantly affect the concept of victimization typology.

Establishing a Relationship Between Demographic Factors and Students' Environmental Awareness
Authors: Libelo Hannah , Tracy Sean
Published: August 2022

A lack of environmental education has been shown to lead to lower levels of environmental awareness and consequently fewer climate change prevention measures (Toksoz et al., 2011). Researchers who study this issue focus on identifying the populations most vulnerable to a lack of environmental awareness based on demographic factors like household income and education level (Ajuang et al., 2016; Philippsen et al., 2017; Sun et al., 2020). This research is essential in guiding future climate-related education efforts, but there is limited data on the topic. In order to fill in this research gap, this project focuses on the relationship between demographic factors and the environmental awareness of high school students in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. One hundred twenty-five high school students were surveyed, and data were collected relating to students' annual household income, parental/guardian education, age, gender, race, household recycling and gardening practices, and environmental awareness. It was found that, in general, students with higher household income levels, parental/guardian education levels, or age had higher levels of environmental awareness. However, students with the lowest parental education levels also showed increased environmental awareness compared to other lower levels. Male students tended to be slightly more environmentally aware than female students, and students whose families recycled or gardened regularly had higher levels of environmental awareness than those who did not. This information can help to guide future environmental education campaigns to improve environmental awareness levels and environmental relationships, which is needed to effectively address the risks posed by climate change.

This paper outlines (i) selected IoT technologies and paradigms related to health care, as well as, (ii) various implementation scenarios for IoT-based models. It also discusses (iii) the various advantages of these applications and finally, (iv) a summary of lessons learned and recommendations for future applications.
Strengthened of a Square RC Columns using BFRP and GFRP: The Experimental Investigations
Authors: Patel Tejash , Salla Sanjay , Vasanwala Sandip , Modhera Chetankumar
Published: August 2022

Reinforced concrete (RC) columns, jacketing of FRPs has become a standard strengthened technique in the present times. The current research scenario focuses on the fact that strengthened and rehabilitation of RC columns by CFRP and GFRP are more effective. Additionally, the present research also highlights a new class of natural composites of BFRP (Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer) bonded with adhesive to column specimens as an alternate confinement material. Generally, it is advisable to use RC columns instead of CFRP and GFRP confinement material. The experimental study was strengthened by partially and fully wrapped square RC columns using GFRP and BFRP uni - directional and bi-directional. The behavior of stress-strain curves and failure modes were observed. The experimental results show that the substantial increment in ultimate load-displacement capacity, ultimate stress-ultimate axial and lateral strains lead to BFRP and GFRP failure. The fully warped square reinforced concrete (RC) column performs better in getting stress-strain behavior and displacement limit as compared to the partially covered system. It is a fact that the strengthened obtained by partial wrapping with BFRP and GFRP is a preferable and cost-effective alternative as compared to the fully wrapped. The test results show that the CNR-DT-R1 model is more reliable than Lam & Tang and provides reasonable and precise calculations for the ultimate axial stress of partially and fully wrapped RC columns. 

HIGHLIGHTS

Now days strengthening and rehabilitation of RC columns by CFRP and GFRP is more effective, but the natural composite BFRP is also an alternative confinement material

The experimental study was strengthened by partially and fully wrapped square RC columns using GFRP and BFRP Uni - directional and bi-directional

The behaviour of stress-strain curves and failure modes were observed. The experimental results show that the substantial increment in ultimate load-displacement capacity, stress, axial and lateral strains lead to BFRP and GFRP failure

The study has been performed to verify the experimental data's reliability and accuracy with the theoretical models such as CNR-DT R1 and Lam & Teng model

Published: August 2022

Background and Objectives:

The present study was designed to assess the antileprotic effectiveness of some bioactive natural compounds towards enoyl acyl carrier protein reductase inhibition. Leprosy still constitutes a global pandemic in spite of long years of discovery. The current therapy option is multi-drug treatment using a combination of Dapsone, Rifampicin and Clofazimine. However, mycobacterium leprae counteracted by mutating the drug targets which necessitates the search for novel targets. One such target is enoyl acyl carrier protein reductase that mediates the fatty acid biosynthesis.

Materials and Methods:

Multiple (14) ligands of natural origin were drawn from PubChem database and their ADMET parameters were preicted using ADMETLab 2.0 webserver. After, the ligands were docked against the enzyme (PDB ID: 2NTV) at its active site using iGEMDOCK software.

Results:

ADMET parameters of the tested ligands proven to be accepted by Lipinski's rule of five except for two ligands. Furthermore, molecular docking results revealed that all of the tested compounds showed better binding energy than the reference drug Dapsone. The best of which was silymarin.

Conclusion:

The tested natural ligands have the capability to control M.leprae.

Evidentiality through reported speech: Pragma-linguistic factors affecting its reliability
Authors: Jahiu Edona
Published: August 2022

This study focuses on reportative evidential that contains statements of a specific and commonly known individual with interlocutors regarding the quality of evidence s/he claimed to have, his/her trustworthiness as a person, linguistic markers, turn designs, emotional state, epistemic authority, as factors which determine the reliability of information vouched through reported speech. We collected 28 conversations in which informants were asked to convey information derived from someone well or weakly known. Topics were chiefly related to events expected to occur, films and other informative assertions. Then, respondents delivered their main reasons about (not) trusting the reported speech/speaker and regarding the modals within RS or in the assessment part. They were urged to share common conclusions about its reliability. We found out that epistemological assessment of reported speech originally derived by a well-known person is crucially related to the reported speaker’s usual shown sincerity, words chosen, while of a weakly known individual with his/her competency and quality of evidence, which can define the information as “first-hand” or not worth considering.

Authors: Diaz-Segura Edgar Giovanny
Published: August 2022

El diseño de cimentaciones superficiales es quizás uno de los requerimientos más habituales en la práctica profesional en ingeniería geotécnica, lo que ha motivado el desarrollo de un importante número de investigaciones de tipo experimental, teórico y numérico, hasta la fecha. Los estudios sobre la respuesta de una cimentación superficial, inician con la propuesta del mecanismo de falla definido por Prandtl, y usado por Reissner en los años veinte del siglo XX, seguido de la formulación de la conocida ecuación polinómica de capacidad de soporte de Terzaghi en 1943. Basados en lo anterior, trabajos de pioneros en esta línea como Meyerhof, Skempton, Vesic y Brinch Hansen, por resaltar sólo algunos, han mantenido su vigencia a la fecha a nivel académico y profesional, debido a la naturaleza práctica de sus propuestas. Sin embargo, las metodologías derivadas de ellas, consideran indirectamente que la planta de cimentación está compuesta por elementos aislados, cuyo comportamiento es evaluado independiente de la estructuración y distribución de las cargas en la cimentación, lo que puede estar alejado de las solicitaciones que se tienen en un proyecto

El presente estudio tiene como finalidad determinar las propiedades físicas y mecánicas del hormigón con virutas de acero de grado ASTM A36, y realizar un estudio comparativo con el hormigón tradicional. Se tuvo como muestra 36 probetas y se utilizó la viruta de acero en 0,6%, 1,5 y 6% como agregado fino. La viruta se obtuvo de los tornos de la empresa SMF Sagitario en la Ciudad de Lima. El diseño de la investigación es cuasi experimental y de corte longitudinal, la técnica de recolección de datos fue la observación. Se utilizó la estadística inferencial para la constatación de hipótesis, donde los resultados indicaron que hay diferencias significativas entre el hormigón tradicional y el hormigón con agregado fino (Sig.=.000). Concluyéndose que el hormigón tradicional es superior a en resistencia a la compresión y tracción realizadas a los 7, 14 y 28 días de edad

This article discusses the problem of soil contamination with oil and petroleum products from one of the oil fields of the Udmurt Republic. Environmental monitoring of soil pollution was carried out at the license area of the oil field under study. The assessment of the soil condition was obtained during the survey at specially designated points 1 (bush 2), 2 (well 221), 3 (bush 17), 4 (bush 14), 5 (UPN), 6 (bush 16) according to the developed environmental monitoring program. The conducted environmental studies, as well as environmental monitoring data for the reporting period 2014-2017, allowed us to identify patterns of growth in concentrations of oil and petroleum products depending on the season of the year and soil sampling points. It is noted that on the territory of the oil treatment plant, the content of pollutants reaches maximum values. In general, the content of petroleum products varies from 5.7 mg/kg to 810 mg/kg. Based on the results of quantitative chemical analyses of soil samples, it was revealed that the level of oil pollution of the territory of the studied field is within acceptable values. Keywords: OIL POLLUTION, SOILS, MONITORING, OIL, PETROLEUM PRODUCTS, DEPOSIT

COVID-19 causes various changes in society, both social, economic, and cultural changes. This study examines COVID-19 from the perspective of women and families. This study is a qualitative study that aims to determine the role of mothers in family social change and family communication during the pandemic. From the results of the study, it is known that mothers have a fairly important role in dealing with social changes during the Pandemic and become an important agent of socialization related to COVID-19 information. Mother's competence in processing information is one of the most important skills, related to the number of COVID-19 hoaxes circulating on social media. In addition to the mother's competence in processing information, it is also necessary to have the mother's competence in conveying information to the family. The delivery of communication cannot be done in the same way, because each family member has their own uniqueness.

Mediatisasi Politik dan Perilaku Pemilih: Penggunaan Google Trend Sebagai Metode Alternatif Memprediksi Kemenangan Kandidat
Authors: Fernardo Eric
Published: August 2022

In 2020, Indonesia has held simultaneous regional head elections which held governor elections in 9 provinces, mayor elections in 37 cities and regent elections in 224 regencies. Candidates in general elections often use surveys as a reference in estimating their potential for victory, even though to conduct popularity, acceptability and electability surveys require a high level of validity and reliability, for this reason, a large survey team is needed in distributing questionnaires and large funds for operational needs, so it is necessary to develop alternative methods of data collection in predicting candidate winner, other than survey methods. Google Trend as a service from Google that provides site search statistics by displaying the popularity of keyword within a certain time range where statistical results can be displayed by region has the potential to be an alternative method to surveys. In several previous studies in the United States and Canada, Google Trend managed to correctly predict the winner of the presidential election in the US and the winner of the election in Canada. This research fills a gap in the Indonesian context to see the accuracy of Google Trend in predicting the winner of the governor election in 9 provinces in the simultaneous regional elections in 2020. As a result, Google Trend succeeded in predicting the victory of candidates in Jambi, Central Kalimantan, North Sulawesi, West Sumatra; while doubtful in Bengkulu and South Kalimantan; and Google Trend is not accurate in predicting in North Kalimantan, Riau Islands and Central Sulawesi. Google Trend's lack of accuracy in predicting the governor's candidate victory in Indonesia is allegedly because Google Trend's services in Indonesia have not reached the district/district level compared to the United States and Canada which have reached the district/sub-district level. In addition, as an alternative method, there are a number of important notes for Google Trend because it has not been able to distinguish the tone of news whether it is positive or negative because Google Trend is still focused on the number of keyword searches that are most sought after by users, even though the tone of the news is important to see public sentiment.
