The importance of providing an effective shift work schedule cannot be overstated, particularly when considering the continuous 24-hour service requirement. Each employee has their own schedule preferences, and while some positions offer just one or two shifts, others encompass three separate scheduling periods within a day. The issue arises when these varying schedules lead to disparities among workers of toll collectors in terms of overall time spent, creating an inequitable situation. Unfortunately, the objectives of the Bentong Toll Plaza and the preferences of the toll collectors have not been in harmony, which could potentially impact the performance and worklife balance of the toll collectors. The ongoing challenge faced by managers is the selection of the most suitable shift schedule. Thus, this study aims to introduce a new cyclic scheduling approach to streamline the task of creating schedules at Bentong Toll Plaza. Goad programming is applied to meet the requirements of four rigid constraints and three flexible constraints. The initial schedule is used for the first 15 days and then systematically rotated for another 15 days until all toll collectors have experienced all 15 schedule sets. This scheduling process was facilitated through the utilization of Lingo software, resulting in an optimized 15-day shift schedule for toll collectors. The third goal was achieved, which was that each toll collector was assigned the same amount of work. However, the first and second goals are not entirely met, but this has a minimal impact on the toll collectors due to the schedule rotation. In conclusion, it has been proven that the generated schedule pattern provides a better schedule in terms of providing each toll collector with the same total number of shifts and off days.

Authors: Khan Hashmat Ullah , Dawar Asif Iqbal , Ruqia Ruqia
Published: December 2023

Pakistan is grappling with significant economic and political challenges stemming from various factors. Positioned at the heart of the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative, Pakistan has been presented with a diverse array of opportunities encompassing trade, investment, energy resource development, Special Economic Zones (SEZs), the expansion of the Gwadar port, integration of its economy with neighboring nations via various connectivity projects, and the generation of employment prospects. Given the contemporary interdependence of economic performance and political stability, the potential for economic stability and the creation of opportunities through the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is seen as crucial. The project helped Pakistan to attract a huge amount of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), created hundreds of thousands of jobs, significantly improved infrastructure, established nine SEZs, developed Gwadar port, increased its trade volume with China and controlled energy crisis to a significant level. Political development, stability and peace have also been positively influenced by economic development. This study aims to evaluate the impact of CPEC from both economic and political perspectives, especially as it approaches its 10th anniversary, and assess how it has shaped Pakistan’s economic and political landscapes. The forthcoming second phase of CPEC is poised to further bolster Pakistan’s economic growth, fortify industrialization through SEZs, and enhance its international trade. Additionally, the project is set to transform Pakistan into a pivotal regional trade corridor through its advanced connectivity initiatives and the development of the Gwadar port.

Published: December 2023

Cohabiting couples are a rapidly growing family form in the world today.  However, this family form has not been accounted for in family business research.  In this article, we examine the differences between cohabiting couples and married couples in terms of human capital, social capital, and financial capital.  Moreover, we explore how these differences may impact outcomes for firms owned by cohabiting and married couples.  Finally, we discuss how family business scholars can account for cohabiting couples in their research and how such research may help practitioners.
A Categorical Metamodel for Reactive Kripke Frames
Authors: Crăciunean Daniel C.
Published: December 2023

In a reactive Kripke model, evaluation of logical operators can cause reconfiguration of the model in which the formula is evaluated. Therefore, in reactive Kripke frames, the evaluation of a logical formula in a world depends both on the world in which the evaluation is made and on the worlds it has passed through previously. The result is an extended semantics, which can specify a class of modal logics more comprehensive than the class specified by ordinary Kripke frames. This paper introduces a metamodel for reactive Kripke frames, based on the concept of categorical sketch. We believe that the categorical sketch is an appropriate metamodel for specifying a Kripke frame model.

Changes in the Conditions of Renting an Apartment Expected by Students after the COVID-19 Pandemic in Relation to their Activity in the Labour Market
Authors: Grzywińska-Rąpca Małgorzata , Grzybowska-Brzezińska Mariola , Janusz Marcin
Published: December 2023

The article presents students’ expectations regarding changes in the housing market after the COVID-19 pandemic. The need to switch to remote teaching was very often associated with the need to change the place of residence or return to the family home of students. This was related, directly or indirectly, to their economic situation, which deteriorated due to the loss of their job or the need to change jobs. When preparing the research tool, the focus was therefore on the subjective expectations of students regarding rental conditions after the pandemic, regarding not only rental costs, but also changes in lease agreements. During the survey period, respondents were already studying remotely, so it can be assumed that they have already developed some strategies and tactics regarding the issues covered by the survey. The article aims to signal and illustrate with available data the diversity of expectations regarding fees and provisions in lease agreements, taking into account the demographic and economic characteristics of respondents. The aim of this study was not only to demonstrate the diversity of expectations of changes in residence, rental conditions, or the amount of fees caused by the pandemic, taking into account the employment and gender of the respondent, but also taking into account their activity in the labour market. The analysis of the relationship between the expectations declared by respondents and their demographic characteristics was carried out using a correlation analysis. The analysis made it possible to verify the research hypotheses on the existence of correlations between the respondents’ characteristics and their (1) assessments of changes in the place of residence, (2) expectations regarding provisions in rental contracts, and (3) changes in the level of housing fees caused by the pandemic situation.

Published: December 2023

The purpose of the current article is to present the possibilities of using web and marketing analytics, in particular, the dominant marketing automation along with the sales funnel. The research question can be defined: how does the use of marketing automation support the impact on customers? The research method includes a review of the current literature, and a case study-the implementation of marketing automation and sales funnel additionally marketing analytics is included in the dashboard application. The illustration of this in-depth case study may indicate an understanding of the theory in a real setting. The research results present the defined web analytics, the stages of its evolution, along with the elements of inbound and outbound marketing In addition, the example of company X presents the metrics in the sales funnel included in the dashboard. How MA interacts with customers, market participants, is presented. Through the development of MA implementation and in-depth analytics, it was shown which inbound and outbound elements play an important role and allow analysis of metrics in the sales funnel. This is not a complete research for enterprise marketing because we can develop the problem: how marketing uses modern technologies in influencing market participants. In addition, it is worthwhile to conduct further research on the determinants and metrics in MA and sales funnel because, in its first stages, one builds relationships with customers and, in its later stages, one manages relationships with customers, where close relationships are established.
Survey of Weed Infestation of Three Levels of Pasture Degradation in the Municipality of Cahoeiras de Macacu, State of Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Brighenti Alexandre Magno , Donagemma Guilherme Kangussú , Pimentel Róberson Machado
Published: December 2023

Objective: The objective of this work was to register weed species in pasture areas at different levels of degradation, as a subsidy for weed control and the recovery of degraded pastures.
 
Theoretical framework: Well-managed pastures provide socio-environmental benefits, being important carbon sinks and providing food for livestock. Studies related to the registration of weed species in pastures are an important tool towards the recovery and renewal of degraded pasture areas.
 
Method: A survey of weed species was carried out in pasture areas in the municipality of Cachoeiras de Macacu, State of Rio de Janeiro, using the inventory square method, in order to indicate the ideal moment to apply control practices due to the main registered weed species.
 
Results and conclusions: Twenty-three weed species were registered and distributed in 11 botanical families. The families that most stood out in number of species were: Fabaceae, Poaceae and Asteraceae. The weeds with the highest degree of importance were in descending order: Paspalum notatum, Eupatorium maximilianii, Imperata brasiliensis, Desmodium incanum and Sporobolus indicus. The values obtained for number of weeds, density and abundance increased as degradation levels evolved. The weed density referring to the lowest level of degradation can be used as a parameter in decision-making about the most appropriate moment to carry out the control of weed species. Average density value equal to 6.0 plants m-2 indicates the appropriate moment for adopting weed control practices, based on the main registered species. The similarity indices among sampling areas were high, evidencing the homogeneity of species among the different levels of degradation.
 
Research implications: The results obtained can be used as benchmarks in relation to the ideal time when farmers or ranchers should apply effective practices of weed control, based on the main species found in pastures. Consequently, minimizing or even avoiding the progressive degradation of pastures.
 
Originality/value: In general, the control of weeds in pasture areas in Brazil is neglected or carried out without the use of technical-scientific criteria. Phytosociological surveys of weed infestation can be used as guides for decision-making on the ideal moment for the application of control methods based on the main incident species, and may also be used in the development and formulation of public policies.

Published: December 2023

Objective: Application of Optimal Control Theory to the activated sludge process in order to regulate the removal of the carbonaceous part of the organic matter.
 
Theoretical benchmark: Dynamic models of activated sludge processes are capable of enabling the development of innovative control systems. The Optimal Control Theory, aimed at optimizing the performance of dynamic systems, allows the establishment of control systems that enhance efficiency in adapting to changes in operating conditions, ensuring satisfactory process performance.
 
Method: The proposed control systems were established from the application of Optimal Control Theory, considering the use of the dynamic model of the activated sludge process presented by International Association on Water Pollution Research and Control. Computer simulations were used to assess the performance of the control systems proposed.
 
Results and conclusion: The proposed control systems were capable of curbing substantially the oscillations in the concentrations of biomass, of particulate matter produced by the degradation of biomass and those of the inert particulate substrate. The reductions in the oscillations of the slowly biodegradable part of the influent were relatively smaller. The controller was quite effective in leading the wastewater treatment system sooner to the new equilibrium conditions after the imposition of the disturbances in raw effluent.
 
Implications of research: Development of control systems for activated sludge processes to regulate the removal of the carbonaceous fraction from organic matter.
 
Originality/value: The establishment of optimal control systems for activated sludge processes can enable greater efficiency and operational capacity, especially in industrial facilities or densely populated urban settlements, where such wastewater treatment systems are most commonly used.

Authors: Rodrigues Noélli Nara de Andrade , Moura Jorge Daniel de Melo
Published: December 2023

Objective: This article aims to present an architectural proposal for a temporary emergency shelter of a sustainable nature using Wood Frame and bamboo, which allows for easy transport, assembly and disassembly in the event of major tragedies and serves as a shelter for the needy population.
 
Method: This work was developed in two stages: initially data was collected on issues relating to environmental tragedies and their solutions as well as the emergency needs of the victims. In the second stage, a program of these refugees' needs was drawn up, the project was developed and the volumetric model was presented.
 
Theoretical framework: Currently, the socioeconomic conditions in Bolivia, the political instability in Venezuela and the natural disasters in Haiti cause the number of refugees to increase in Brazil. Bolivian immigration to the country has a more continuous flow compared to that from countries like Venezuela and Bolivia. Furthermore, with the increase in natural disasters present in the national territory, it is necessary to promove solutions to aliviate the needs of this population in a state of vulnerability.
 
Results and conclusion: the results presented in this work make up the research project for the development of new materials, products and constructive elements for wooden construction.
 
Implications of the research: along with this discussion, it is expected to expand of the understanding of the concepts and design processes in emergency housing, possible renewable materials application, ease of production and execution to fit vulnerable communities in Brazil.
 
Originality/value: This study explores an important gap in empirical studies carried out in the context of emergency shelter projects for vulnerable communities.

Published: December 2023

Objective:
This study aimed to find out the thyroid profile and awareness among the patients about thyroid diseases and cardiac diseases with their correlations.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted over the 3 months in Riyadh province, Saudi Arabia. Participants from both genders aged 18 to 70 years were included. By taking the confidence interval of 95% with a 5% chance of error, 400 sample sizes were concluded over the population of 1 million in Riyadh province. A questionnaire was designed using Google form (online) with demographic details and study survey questions.
Results:
Out of 400 participants, 58.2% were number of females aged 18-25 years of age (78.2%), which might be the reason for increased usage of social media platforms. Most participants belonged to the Saudi Arabia (94.5%) and had a bachelor's degree (67.3%). In the study population, 94.5% participants had chronic diseases, however they were not diagnosed with thyroid disease previously (94.5%). Around 5.5% were diagnosed with thyroid disease previously, however, not aware of the type of thyroid disease they had. Among the participants, 49.1% did not know that thyroid gland disease is associated with cardiac disease. Majority of the participants (60%) had no knowledge about the risk factors associated with thyroid gland disease.
Conclusion:
The findings from the current study suggested that age, specifically aged 18-25 years was associated with a higher level of knowledge about thyroid disorders. Given the high prevalence of thyroid disorders in the population of Saudi Arabia (KSA), this study aimed to increase awareness among the younger generations about common health problems in the Saudi community and ways to prevent them.

Published: December 2023

The state civil apparatus has an important role for the state, which is given the mandate and responsibility by the state and people in managing government affairs which become their respective functions and duties. The government apparatus in carrying out their duties must be good and full of integrity, because they are given trust by the government and society in carrying out their duties. People put their hopes on them to realize good governance in the future. However, the reality in the field is inversely proportional to what should be. In practice, the problem that often arises in the misuse of the duties of government officials is the practice of corruption. One of the cases of corruption that occurred in the field of procurement of goods or services was a case that occurred in North Lampung with the defendant named Yasril as the Commitment Making Officer at the PUPR Office of North Lampung Regency and the defendant Abdul Azim as his project partner. Yasril is considered to have neglected his duties as a Commitment Making Officer in the Kalibalangan Brach Four Road Widening Project, South Abung District, North Lampung Regency, in the 2019 fiscal year. The problem discussed in this study is how criminal liability for perpetrators of corruption crimes as in Decision Number: 3/Pid.Sus-TPK/2022/PN.Tjk and Decision Number: 4/Pid.Sus-TPK/2022/PN.Tjk? This research uses normative juridical research methods, namely research conducted based on primary legal materials by examining theories, concepts, legal principles and laws and regulations related to this research. It can be concluded that the prosecutor's method of proof was inaccurate and lacked caution in conducting the investigation, resulting in their imperfect indictment. So that the panel of judges did not believe in the results of the calculation of state financial losses submitted by the prosecutor's expert from the Public Accounting Firm Mahlizar, Jailani & Partners. This is because the calculation of state losses is based on procedures and procedures that do not contain certainty and are only based on assumptions. Thus, the panel of judges finally decided to acquit the two defendants from all charges.

Authors:   Omsk State Technical University, Novikov M. S.
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the study conducted by the author is to determine a number of ethnic, economic and political factors. Factors that required the elaboration of the idea of creating territorial autonomy of the Siberian Tatars in the north of the Omsk and south of the Tyumen regions of the Russian Federation as an alternative to the growth of separatist insistence. At the same time, special attention is paid to the study of the views and activities of representatives of government bodies, socio-political organizations and subjects of economic relations in Western Siberia. The author’s research is conducted using a wide range of sources: documents of authorities and public organizations, reference materials, printed publications of authorities and public organizations, published memoirs of participants in the movement for the revival of Siberian Tatars and data obtained during meetings with them, materials of journalistic investigations. In the course of the research, the author turned to the method of historicism, in which synchronistic, statistical and comparative historical methods are used. The results of the study are the recognition of the inexpediency of creating the territorial autonomy of the Siberian Tatars based on ethnic factors and its complexity in view of the economic and political situation prevailing in the Russian Federation in the 1990.
On the degree of import dependence of the merchant fleet of the Russian Empire on the eve and at the beginning of the First World War
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University, Maliuchenko D. A.
Published: December 2023

The article analyzes the scale of the influence of foreign capital on the development of the commercial fleet of the Russian Empire on the eve of the First World War and the resulting restrictions on the use of civilian vessels at the beginning of the armed conflict. On the basis of previously published statistical data and archival documents introduced into scientific circulation for the first time, various degrees of dependence on the import of spare parts of sea and river merchant fleets, as well as the level of satisfaction of the country’s needs achieved by them, are demonstrated. The main manifestations of the critical dependence of Russian merchant ships on a number of German-made components are highlighted. The author concludes that the seemingly catastrophic situation of the maintenance of foreign-made ships was actually resolved, including thanks to the actions of the Russian government and the establishment of a channel for the supply of foreign equipment to domestic ports.

Published: December 2023

Based on the ranking of 20 Indonesian Green Universities by UI Green Metric 2022, green campuses are dominated by public campuses that do not have a strong foundation in Islamic values. In fact, not a single Muhammadiyah and 'Aisyiyah Universities (PTMA) was included in the top 10 ranking release. Why has PTMA, which has developed Green Fiqh, not been able to present itself as a green campus? This research aims to identify Green Fiqh in Islamic Religion learning at PTMA. This qualitative research uses a thematic approach with a narrative-descriptive-explanative strategy. The research was conducted at three PTMAs in Yogyakarta. The findings obtained are: first, the Green Fiqh study materials in learning Islamic religion courses at PTMA are not optimal. Even though Muhammadiyah has created Green Fiqh products such as Environmental Fiqh, Disaster Fiqh, Water Fiqh and Agrarian Fiqh. Second, learning about Islamic religion at the three PTMAs where the emphasis is still limited to the basics of Islamic religious teachings, such as Aqidah, morals and worship. The Aqidah theme raised also does not optimally touch the role of rububiyah monotheism in preserving the environment. The moral theme also does not touch much on actual contemporary problems, including the problem of global climate change. Third, the Al-Ma'un ethos which is the foundation and spirit of Muhamamdiyah taught in the three meanings of PTMA has not yet developed. Al-Ma'un's main mission is only interpreted as fighting religious liars in a narrow sense. Al-Ma'un has not been developed towards "new" religious liars, namely those who destroy nature and the environment.  Keywords: Environmental Sustainability, Green Fiqh, Islamic Value
A Phenomenological Study of Informal Education: Relations between Parents and Children in Family Economic Education
Authors: Muhammad Hasan  , Nur Arisah  , Nurjannah  , Andi Tenri Ampa  , Supatminingsih Tuti
Published: December 2023

This study aims to explore phenomenologically informal education through the role of parents in providing economic education to children and education in family financial management. This study uses a qualitative approach to phenomenology. The informants in this study were six parents who were heads of families and, based on their profiling, met the requirements for achieving the research objectives. Data collection was carried out using interviews, observation, and documentation. Qualitative data analysis techniques are used through the data reduction phase to present information and draw conclusions. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that parents have the perception that economic education must be taught to children from an early age, especially in terms of managing money, reducing unnecessary expenses, and starting to save from an early age, so that children get used to being intelligent economic beings and prepare for future success. When teaching their children about family economics, parents focus on helping their children understand their family's financial situation and how to act responsibly by only spending as needed by providing explanations and modeling economic behavior.

Neurological disorders can have a profound impact on an individual's ability to walk and move freely. These conditions, ranging from stroke to Parkinson's disease, often result in walking disorders that significantly reduce the quality of life. Neuro physiotherapy clinic, a specialized branch of physical therapy, plays a crucial role in enhancing neurological rehabilitation and addressing walking disorders. In this blog, we will explore the key points and subpoints about the impact of neuro physiotherapy on walking disorders.
The Effect of Particle Size on the Optical and Electronic Properties of Hydrogenated Silicon Nanoparticles

We use a combination of GW-BSE and time-dependent DFT to study the optical and electronic properties of hydrogen terminated silicon nanoparticles. We predict that the lowest excited states of these silicon nanoparticles are excitonic in character and that the corresponding excitons are completely delocalised over the volume of the particle. The size of the excitons is precited to increase proportionally with the particle size. Conversely, we predict that the fundamental gap, the optical gap, and the exciton binding energy increase with decreasing particle size. The exciton binding energy is predicted to counter-act the variation in the fundamental gap and hence to reduce the variation of the optical gap with particle size. The variation in the exciton binding energy itself is probably caused by a reduction in the dielectric screening with decreasing particle size. The intensity of the excited state corresponding to the optical gap and other low energy excitations are predicted to increase with decreasing particle size. We explain this increase in terms of the ‘band structure’ becoming smeared out in reciprocal space with decreasing particle size, increasing the ‘overlap’ between the occupied and unoccupied quasiparticle states and thus, the oscillator strength. Fourier transforms of the lowest excitons show that they inherit the periodicity of the frontier quasiparticle states. This combined with the delocalisation of the exciton and the large exciton binding energy means that the excitons in silicon nanoparticles combine aspects of Wannier-Mott, delocalisation and effect of periodicity of the underlying structure, and Frenkel, large exciton binding energy, excitons.
Co-evolved ligands to ORF8. Could they reduce SARS-COV-2-excesive inflammation?
Authors: Bello-Perez Melissa , Coll Julio
Published: December 2023

ORF8 is an asymmetric-homodimer SARS-COV-2 accessory protein implicated in excesive human inflammation causing numerous deaths. There is no approved drug targeting ORF8, nor it is known whether any anti-ORF8 drugs could reduce human excesive inflammation. Computationally combining ligand co-evolution of parent molecules with affinity-consensus docking, children candidates for docking to ORF8 cavities were generated. Targeting the homodimer interface with the highest affinity children scaffolds, hundreds of grandchildren predicting nanoMolar affinities, unique scaffolds, high specificities and low toxicity risks were generated. Although remaining hypothetical without experimental confirmation, this constitute a new methodological attempt to search for drug-like candidates to interfere with SARS-COV-2-dependent excessive inflammation.

Published: December 2023

Activation of N,N-dichlorocarbamates with blue light facilitates a direct 1,2-aminochlorination of unactivated olefins to yield 1,2-chloro-N-Cl-carbamates under ambient conditions. Mechanistic studies suggest that N,N-dichlorocarbmates undergo a photochemical excitation to yield a neutral nitrogen-centered radical, which rapidly reacts with olefins in an anti-Markovnikov fashion. Using the method, a range of functionally diverse substrates are successfully aminochlorinated to yield the corresponding 1,2-chloro-N-Cl compounds.

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are a class of enzymes that cleave acyl groups from lysine residues of histone and non-histone proteins. There are 18 human HDAC isoforms with different cellular targets and functions. Among them, HDAC6 was found to be overexpressed in different types of cancer. However, when used in monotherapy, HDAC6 inhibition by selective inhibitors fails to show pronounced anti-cancer effects. The HDAC6 enzyme also addresses non-histone proteins like tubulin and cortactin, making it important for cell migration and angiogenesis. Recently, the NLRP3 inflammasome was identified as an important regulator of inflammation and immune responses and, importantly, HDAC6 is critically involved the activation of the inflammasome. We herein report the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of a library of selective HDAC6 inhibitors. Starting from the previously published crystal structure of MAIP-032 in complex with CD2 of zHDAC6, we performed docking studies to evaluate additional possible interactions of the cap group with the L1-loop pocket. Based on the results we synthesized 13 novel HDAC6 inhibitors via the Groebke Blackburn Bienaymé three component reaction as the key step. Compounds 8k (HDAC1 IC50: 5.87 μM; HDAC6 IC50: 0.024 μM; selectivity factor (SF1/6): 245) and 8m (HDAC1 IC50: 3.07 μM; HDAC6 IC50: 0.026 μM; SF1/6: 118) emerged as the most potent and selective inhibitors of HDAC6 and outperformed the lead structure MAIP-032 (HDAC1 IC50: 2.20 μM; HDAC6 IC50: 0.058 μM; SF1/6: 38) both in terms of inhibitory potency and selectivity. Subsequent immunoblot analysis confirmed the high selectivity of 8k and 8m for HDAC6 in a cellular environment. While neither 8k and 8m nor the selectivity HDAC6 inhibitor tubastatin A showed antiproliferative effects in the U 87 MG glioblastoma cell line, compound 8m attenuated cell migration significantly in wound healing assays in U-87 MG cells. Moreover, in macrophages compounds 8k and 8m demonstrated significant inhibition of LPS-induced IL1B mRNA expression and TNF release. These findings suggest that our imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-capped HDAC6 inhibitors may serve as promising candidates for the development of drugs to effectively treat NLRP3 inflammasome-driven inflammatory diseases.
