In each company, agency, organization or business entity will provide a salary as compensation for the work of an employee, in addition to providing basic salary to employees, each agency often provides a bonus in addition to the basic salary to boost the performance and work productivity of its employees. The method for giving bonuses is by evaluating employees who meet the criteria by the leadership, bonuses will be given after an annual evaluation of the employee's assessment. The criteria that will be used to determine which employees have priority in order to get bonuses include attendance, appearance, discipline, communication, cooperation. In addition to still using conventional systems, the closeness of leaders and employees often results in decisions that are different from what they should be. This causes the results of their decisions to be incorrect. The problem in this research is how to build a decision support system using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. This method was chosen to help company leaders determine which employees are entitled to receive an annual bonus based on predetermined criteria.

Return to tennis guidelines
Authors: Tennis Federation International
Published: April 2021

The global COVID-19 outbreak has had a significant impact on tennis. Movement restrictions imposed by governments have resulted in the suspension of the international tennis calendar. Once these restrictions have been relaxed, it may be possible to organise sporting competitions again with or, most likely in the short term at least, without spectators. The primary aim of this document is to set guidelines for minimum and recommended standards for the organisation of tennis competitions. This document has been developed in accordance with the WHO guidelines on the organisation of sports events and with input from the Chair of the ITF Sport Science & Medicine Commission. It is intended to supplement the existing organisational requirements for ITF events, rather than a substitute for them.

Tennis play worldwide has been heavily impacted by COVID-19, with many of our landmark events not being played or postponed to non-traditional times. Many tennis facilities have had to close due to governmental restrictions to stem the growth of the coronavirus pandemic. As we start to come out of this lockdown, there is an opportunity to leverage the health benefits and natural physical distancing aspects of tennis to come out stronger and increase our global awareness of our sport, where one can play while having fun at any age. A major stakeholder in this realization is the coach. It is hoped that this article can provide some practical insight into how with a laser focus on learning methodology, skill acquisition, and a player-centered approach, we can accommodate, adapt and grow our sport.

Estudantes do curso de graduação em nutrição, pelo fato de adquirirem o conhecimento teórico acerca da interação entre os nutrientes e a saúde humana, espera-se que eles tenham um senso mais crítico em suas preferências alimentares. Diante disso, o presente trabalho objetivou verificar o perfil alimentar dos estudantes do curso de Nutrição em uma instituição de ensino superior do Sul Fluminense. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, realizada com o uso de um questionário virtual. Participaram da pesquisa 52 alunos do curso de Nutrição de uma instituição de ensino superior privada. A pesquisa apontou que a maioria dos alunos consome regularmente e de forma moderada as carnes e leguminosas, além de evitar o excesso de sal, frituras e bebidas alcóolicas. Todavia, houve um predomínio de estudantes nos quais se observou um alto consumo de fontes de carboidratos, e baixo consumo de alimentos fontes de vitaminas, minerais e compostos fitoquímicos de interesse para a regulação da saúde humana. O consumo de leites e derivados também foi considerado baixo, assim como o consumo de peixes os quais são importantes fontes de nutrientes. Sendo assim, conclui-se que apesar de os graduandos do curso de Nutrição terem apresentado respostas positivas no que se refere à qualidade de determinados grupos alimentícios, a maioria ainda apresenta falhas nutricionais em sua alimentação diária.

Improving the Innovation Performance for Vietnamese Firm Based on Practices of Idealized Influence and Individualized Consideration: The Mediating Role of Knowledge Sharing
Authors: Le Ly Thi Khanh , Le Phong Ba
Published: April 2021

Innovation performance is the fundamental factor for firms to survive and achieve competitive advantage in the context of increasing competitive pressure. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impacts of two key components of transformational leadership (TL) namely idealized influence and individualized consideration on knowledge sharing (KS), as well as their influences on firm’s innovation performance. The paper used Structural Equations Modeling (SEM) to elaborate the relationship among these latent factors through using survey data gathered from 235 participants of 60 medium and small-sized firms in Vietnam. The findings reveal that KS activities of employees play a crucial role in improving firm’s innovation performance, and serve as a mediating role in the effects of TL on innovation performance. Moreover, the findings highlight the impact of individualized consideration on innovation performance in comparison with the impact of idealized influence on innovation performance. In general, the findings of this study have advanced the understanding and brought new initiatives for Vietnamese firms to follow and improve its innovation performance.
Japanese University Students’ Perceptions of Foreign English Teachers
Authors: Egitim Soyhan , Garcia Travis
Published: April 2021

This study aims to understand Japanese university students’ perceptions of foreign English teachers (FETs) through a two-phased exploratory sequential mixed-methods design. During the initial phase, a quantitative survey was performed with first and second-year Japanese university students (n=377). Despite a lack of precision and a high dispersion measure, the Quantitative data analysis revealed certain outliers. A significant number of participants viewed their FETs as more of an entertainer, preferred FETs of American/European heritage, and believed FETs of Asian descent may not be able to teach the language and culture as effectively as FETs of American/European heritage. Thus, a qualitative inquiry was performed to explain and build upon the quantitative findings. Two focus groups with students from the quantitative survey were given interviews. The responses confirmed the existence of phenotypical, gender, and personality FET stereotypes in Japanese university EFL classes. In addition, past educational experiences, socio-cultural factors, and mass media were also found influential in students’ perceptions of FETs. Based on the findings from the focus group interviews, the researchers propose intercultural activities as an effective pedagogical strategy to promote reflective teaching practices and intercultural competence in Japanese university EFL classes.

Published: April 2021

Unavailability of clean planting material is a major constraint of potato production in Eritrea. In vitro multiplication is proved to be a reliable solution; however, due to high media cost and initial investment, its use has been limited. The current study was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of three starches (corn, potato and barley) of both laboratory and commercial grades as agar substitute, for micropropagation of potato. Single nodes of potato were sub-cultured into a fresh modified Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with sucrose (3% w/v) and gelled with 50 g/l of six types of starches in addition to 7 g/l of agar as a control. Gelling agents used showed a highly significant difference in all measured parameters. The pH of all starch based media increased by 0.23-1.3 units during the culture time except the control media which decreased by 0.4 units. Similarly EC showed a decreasing trend in all gelling agents. In most of the measured physical parameters such as plant height, root length, fresh weight and dry weight three starch based media namely laboratory grade potato, commercial corn and laboratory corn showed better results compared to the control media. Survival of in vitro plantlets ranged between 85 and 90% after acclimatization. Both laboratory and commercial grade starch based media resulted in cost reduction of 15-22% and 61-66%, respectively. This implies that using both corn and potato starches can be reliable and cost effective gelling agents for micropropagation of potato.

Authors: Oliveira Leyza Paloschi de , Werner Simone Silmara , Boff Mari Inês Carissimi , Boff Pedro
Published: April 2021

The production of medicinal plants which have an association with biotrophic fungi requires non-residual and favorable methods to the host with tolerance to the presence of phytopathogens. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of homeopathic preparations on the rust severity and the growth of Malva sylvestris plants. M. sylvestris seedlings were prepared in 600 ml containers with commercial substrate. The seedlings were arranged in pots at 26 days of age and outlined in two experiments. The treatments consisted of Amonnium carbonicum (Am. carb.), Atropa belladonna (Bell.), Calcarea carbonica (Calc. carb.), Silicea terra (Sil.) and Sulfur (Sulf.), all at 30CH (centesimal Hahnemannian dilution order). The last two dynamizations (29 and 30CH) were prepared in distilled water for all treatments. Control plants were treated with water. Natural inoculation of the plants with Puccinia malvacearum occurred in the first experiment, and the applications of homeopathic preparations were carried out every seven days for five weeks. Four evaluations of rust severity, diameter, height and number of leaves were conducted. Next, M. sylvestris seedlings were transplanted into pots with 5 liters of substrate in the second experiment and the growth curve of the plant was observed in relation to the diameter and height variables. Am. Carb. reduced 18.29% of the rust severity in relation to the control plants. Sil. 30CH contributed to an increase in stem diameter. There was no interference in the plants’ height by homeopathic preparations. The application of homeopathies in M. sylvestris can contribute to their production, reducing the rust intensity considered in the crop cycle and can assist in the plant growth without leaving residues which can harm pollinators and hyperparasites.
About Clostridium botulinum, Fish and Tilapia
Authors: Cortés-Sánchez Alejandro De Jesús
Published: April 2021

Fish and products are considered a food of nutritional quality that constituents a part of the human diet, produced and commercialized worldwide. Tilapia is one of the main fish for aquaculture production destined for human consumption in different presentations: refrigerated, frozen, fillet, cured, canned, among others. Fish, in addition to being a highly nutritious food, is also sensitive to deterioration and contamination along the food chain, being able to be contaminated mainly by microorganisms that are casual agents of consumer illnesses. Clostridium botulinum and spores can contaminate foods such as fish and products whose germination, growth and generation of botulinum toxin puts the health of consumers at high risk of acquiring botulism disease, which is of importance in public health due to its incidence and high fatality rate. This review describes in a general way the aspects related to fish and tilapia, foodborne diseases such as botulism, the causal agent, in addition to sanitary regulation, control and prevention of contamination of food products to protect food safety, and consumer’s health.

De gedoogplicht onder de Omgevingswet: een (ver)nieuw(d) grondbeleidsinstrument

In de praktijk worden regelmatig bij beschikking gedoogplichten opgelegd voor de realisering van nutsvoorzieningen, al dan niet in het kader van de energietransitie. De Omgevingswet verruimt de bevoegdheden om gedoogbeschikkingen te kunnen verlenen en gaat uit van het principe dat voor een onteigeningsbeschikking geen plaats is indien met een gedoogbeschikking een ‘vergelijkbaar resultaat’ kan worden bereikt. Daarmee ontwikkelt de gedoogbeschikking zich tot een belangrijk grondbeleidsinstrument. In deze bijdrage bespreken en vergelijken de auteurs de oude en de nieuwe wettelijke regeling en de daaraan verbonden rechtsbescherming, de verhouding tussen onteigenen en gedogen, het beginsel van de volledige schadeloosstelling en de voorzichtige wettelijke introductie van een gebruiksvergoeding. De auteurs doen aanbevelingen voor de praktijk.

Published: April 2021

The aim of this study was to determine the level of burden of informal caregivers of chronic respiratory failure patients measured by the Zarit Burden Interview Questionnaire (ZBI) and to identify overburdened informal caregivers who can become hidden patients. We recruited the respondents in two hospitals for lung disease and a home healthcare service in Zagreb during 2020. After they had been identified as primary informal caregivers who provided high intensity informal care for more than six months, they were asked to complete the Croatian version of the ZBI questionnaire and a question­naire on sociodemographic characteristics. We used descriptive methods for statistical analysis in this cross-sectional study. We presented the data in tables as absolute frequencies, percentages and measures of the central tendency, and graphically by using diagrams. The study included 150 informal caregivers. The majority were female, over 50 years of age with high school education. The largest percentage of informal caregivers was retired. The highest scores were given to the statements on worrying about future and patient dependency while the lowest scores were given to the statements on leaving the care to someone else and feelings such as anger or embarrassment caused by the patient. The results of this study show that more than half of informal caregivers of chronic respiratory failure patients are moderately to severely burdened.
Jealousy vs envy
Authors: Sardelić Mirko , Perak Benedikt
Published: April 2021

Speakers of many languages tend to use pairs of words such as emotion/feeling or jealousy/envy interchangeably. This paper explores the differences in the way in which the emotional states of jealousy and envy are understood (in the Croa­tian language ljubomora and zavist) and the influence of culture on the expression of these states. First, we establish the cultural framework that significantly shapes the experience and expression of emotional states, and summarize cognitive aspects of the two emotions. Second, we demonstrate that Croatian 19th- and 20th- century belles lettres differentiate between the two in the way it is described in sciences. Third, a psycholinguistic questionnaire was used to investigate features of the conceptual content from 209 high school students. Finally, the results were compared with the empirical corpus analysis of the linguistic constructions of emotional categories. Complementary methods used in this research show indications of an ongoing semasiological change of ljubomora and zavist in a significant part of Croatian speakers.
Die Umsetzung der Gleichbehandlungsrichtlinien in Estland
Authors: Viirsalu Mari-Liis
Published: April 2021

Following its accession to the EU in 2004, Estonia has committed to implementing EU anti-discrimination legislation. This article briefly outlines the legal framework for equal treatment in Estonia with regard to its evolution and its characteristic features. Secondly, it analyzes how legal protection against discrimination in Estonia is structured. Thirdly, the current developments regarding the chosen grounds of discrimination will be discussed, drawing on the jurisdiction in discrimination cases. In this article, only the most common grounds of discrimination such as gender, sexual orientation, disability and age will be covered. While the formal implementation of EU anti-discrimation legislation is broadly completed, structural behavior shifts are still at an early stage. The developments in the domain of equal treatment are, however, noticeable, and this is apparently due to EU legislation - without the desire to please the EU at the time, Estonia would not have come this far today.

Despite their crucial role for democratic decision-making, local elections receive little atten­tion from political science research . To overcome this shortcoming, the article analyses the Bavarian local elections of 2020 . Although the CSU remains the strongest party in the Free State, the Green Party was able to make considerable gains, especially in larger cities . How­ever, the Greens could not gain any grounds in mayoral elections, whereas CSU and SPD competed for the win . In most of the cases, the Social Democrats won the posts in city halls . In addition to detailing election results, this article addresses the ballot lists, the com­position of local councils, and coalition building at the local level . Overall, this contribu­tion provides a comprehensive account of the elections, which are characterized by their unique ballot system and, thus, have a special role in the political system of Germany .
Mehr als immer nur dagegen? Die legislative Agenda grüner Parteien in Deutschland und Österreich in Zeiten Großer Koalitionen

Published: April 2021

In order to analyze which topics are used by the German and Austrian Green parties when proposing bills in times of Grand Coalitions, we use data from a content analysis of all bills these parties proposed from 2007-2008 and 2013-2017 based on the German version of the Comparative Agendas Project Master Codebook . In addition, we define green topics as issues that are named in the respective party programs . In Germany, we observe how an oppositional party under pressure goes on to diversify its own thematic profile as well as to increase the share of bills that focus on genuine green topics . This development, however, is not a general trend among green parties . While the share of bills with green topics increased in Germany after the nuclear phase out in 2011, it slightly decreased in Austria . In both countries we observe an increase in thematic variability of the bills dealing with green top­ics . This could be treated as evidence that chanceless bills are increasingly used for creating a diverse but genuinely green profile .

Background: Over the last number of decades there has been a shift in medical education practice from traditional forms of teaching to other media which employ online, distance or electronic learning. E-learning can provide students with easier and more effective access to a wider variety and greater quantity of information. Objectives: The present study aimed to design a conceptual pattern of e- learning for Iran’s universities of Medical Sciences. Methods: This study was applied in terms of objective and qualitative in terms of data collection. The population of the study was the e-learning experts and faculty members of universities who sampled purposefully, after 30 interviews, saturation was achieved. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to interview. The qualitative data was analyzed using three- stage codings. Results: the electronic learning pattern of Iran’s universities of Medical Sciences was categorized in the following dimensions, including: "academic dimension" including components of synergogy and instructional design, human resources, infrastructure, management, organization, financial resources, ethics & culture, support, monitoring & coordination, and legal factor; The "spatial planning regions dimension" includes the components of the educational activities, research and information technology- related activities; the "national-macro dimension" includes the government’s structural and managerial supports, the government’s cultural and social supports, the government’s economic supports, the government’s scientific and technical supports, supports from the higher medical education, and supports from the private sector; the "regional – international dimension" including scientific and educational interactions, cultural and social interactions, political, and economic interactions. Conclusions: This study suggested that policy-makers, top managers of higher medical education, and those in charge of e-learning exploit the pattern proposed in this study for developing policies and programs for creating/developing e-learning centers, and sufficiently address the dimensions, categories, and indicators mentioned here, so that the long-term effects of operationalizing each category of the pattern can be demonstrated more optimally and quickly. In this way, costs can be reduced, repeat work can be avoided (especially in the face of environmental crises), and Iranian universities can progress in line with world universities and thereby take a big step towards the successful implementation of e-learning in Iran.

No Brasil, a Lei nº 9.433/2007 foi a responsável por instituir a Política Nacional de Recursos Hídricos e o Sistema Nacional de Gerenciamento de Recursos Hídricos visando, com isto, a manutenção da qualidade e quantidade dos recursos hídricos, a redução dos conflitos pelos múltiplos usos das águas e o aumento da participação da sociedade civil nas tomadas de decisão em questões referentes à este recurso. Em 2001, foi a vez do Estado do Pará instituir sua própria legislação de recursos hídricos através da Lei Estadual nº 6.381/2001, em consonância com a legislação federal. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a instituição da Lei das Águas no Estado do Pará e averiguar até onde o Estado conseguiu implantar as entidades que compõe o seu Sistema Estadual de Gerenciamento de Recursos Hídricos e seus instrumentos de gestão. Para isto, foi realizada uma investigação documental nas atas e resoluções do Conselho Estadual de Recursos Hídricos do Pará, órgão consultivo, normativo e deliberativo e ocupante da maior posição dentro do sistema estadual, na página eletrônica da SEMAS que contém em o Órgão Gestor da política de recursos hídricos do Estado e em trabalhos acadêmicos relacionados a este tema. Os resultados revelam que, mesmo após quase duas décadas dessa legislação, nem todas as entidades do sistema encontram-se instituídas, bem como alguns instrumentos de gestão não foram elaborados, destacando-se o Plano Estadual de Recursos Hídricos pelo seu grau de importância.
Digital forensics and it's role in promoting criminal prosecution
Authors: Kazemi Seyyed Sajjad , Heidari Sajjad
Published: April 2021

Digital forensics is essentially synonymous with computer forensics, but the term "digital forensics" is generally used for the technical review of all devices that have the ability to store data. Today, digital criminology is challenged in cloud computing. The first problem is to understand why and how criminal and social actions are so unique and complex. The second problem is the lack of accurate scientific tools for forensic medicine in cyberspace. So far, no complete tools or explanations for criminology have been provided in the virtual infrastructure, and no training for security researchers has been provided in detail. Therefore, the author of the present descriptive-analytical research is based on library resources and using fish taking tools. To investigate suspicious cases related to cyberspace, criminologists must be well-equipped with technical and legal issues to deal with. In this article, we analyze digital criminology and its role in judicial law. The benefit of computer forensic knowledge is not only an indispensable necessity for security and judicial institutions, but also professional users and owners of computer systems, systems and networks must be fully aware of and properly comply with its legal and technical requirements.
