Maltese chert: An archaeological perspective on raw material and lithic technology in the central Mediterranean
Authors: Groucutt Huw S.
Published: January 2023

The Maltese Islands in the central Mediterranean are renowned for their prehistoric archaeological record, particularly the megalithic ‘temples’ and associated ceramics and artwork. The temples were built by a society lacking metal technology, who relied on stone and organic materials. Knapped stone tool (lithic) technology, to produce sharp edged tools for tasks like cutting, hide working, and wood shaping offers insights into human behaviour in Malta, as well as into themes of exchange and connectivity. As well as imported chert and obsidian, local chert was widely used to make stone tools in prehistoric Malta. The local chert has generally been described as low-quality, yet relatively little research has been conducted on its distribution, characteristics, and use. In this paper I report a survey of chert sources, identifying a wider distribution of chert outcrops along the west coast of Malta than previously discussed. Some general macroscopic properties are outlined, as well as aspects of variability in the chert sources. Knapping experiments were then conducted on samples of chert collected, allowing clarification of its characteristics. These observations are used to offer some insights into lithic technology in Neolithic and Temple Period Malta, such as the hypothesis that the high frequencies of multidirectional flake production and subsequent ‘scraper retouch’ reflect adaptations to the characteristics of local chert.

Published: January 2023

This descriptive study investigated the relationship between development opportunities and compensation with employee retention. Analyzing two turnover determinants, development opportunities, and compensation, and their impact on the banking sector and comparing them to find a more effective retention factor is the main goal of the study. Data were collected from national, foreign, private, and specialized banks employee throughout Bangladesh, and 234 employees were chosen from the population of 197,599 using the convenience sampling method. The study questionnaire was prepared using a five-point Likert scale and which sent to the respondent online and personally. To examine the primary data IBM SPSS version 23 (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) was used and the result of the independent sample t-test was found that statistically there is no significant difference in the case of different gender on employee retention. Coefficient correlation finds that development opportunities and compensation are significantly correlated with employee retention but multiple regressions find that compensation is more significant than development opportunities on employee retention. Managers need to project compensation plans perceived by employees at different levels so that the organization's goal can be easily reached. Previous studies that are on employee retention measured the impact of development opportunities and compensation. But this study considers the comparative impact regarding the use of which one is most significant for employee retention.

CHALLENGES FOR CHILDREN FROM MARGINALISED INDIAN COMMUNITIES
Authors: Makwana Gautam , Elizabeth H
Published: January 2023

Backround: Literacy is a necessary first step toward social and economic development for India's underprivileged communities. They can not only gain access to the numerous basic services and rights to which they are entitled, but also improve their standard of living by expanding their options. Children from underserved Indian communities who do not have access to literacy materials such as books and stories, as well as formal language, reading, and writing development, do not develop their brains as well as their more privileged counterparts. A large proportion of India's youngsters are unable to demonstrate even the most basic levels of reading achievement, a problem that has been highlighted in children from low-income households, scheduled castes and tribes, and ethnic minority groups. Methodology: This review study is based on the source of secondary data include books, articles, libraries, reports, personal sources, journals, newspapers, websites, government records and online data, etc Aims and Objectives: It is aim in this review article to identify the factors that cause children to be marginalised within socially disadvantaged groups as well as the challenges and opportunities that hinder or enable marginalised and vulnerable children from gaining access to their right to education. Conclusion: To achieve equitable and inclusive quality education and lifelong learning for everyone, it is critical to not only give access, but also to guarantee that marginalized children stay in school. Marginalised groups are frequently left behind, depriving children from their right to education. Discrimination fosters an unwelcoming environment, which can lead to absenteeism and eventually the children’s refusal to attend school. It appears that present educational programmes should equip to address the requirements of children who are vulnerable to marginalization and exclusion for establishing a brighter future together.

CONTEMPORARY MARRIAGE AND SEXUAL PROBLEMS IN COMMUNITY LIFE FROM AN ISLAMIC LAW POINT OF VIEW
Authors: Meirison Meirison , Pramesty Nurika , Guchi Rani Amelia
Published: January 2023

This paper aims to discuss contemporary problems precisely according to the contents of our article entitled recent issues in social life. Today, the current issues continue to develop following changes in increasingly sophisticated technology and global development. In modern times, there are many contemporary problems in society, such as marriage contracts by telephone, underhanded marriages, family planning and limiting the number of children, marrying pregnant women for adultery, homosexuals and lesbians, monogamy, and polygamy. The data has been verified previously by conducting a literature study, a qualitative approach, and descriptive analysis. From data processing with this method, a finding was obtained that Muslims must be able to think rationally and critically to address such matters and the need to revisit solutions according to Islamic law to solve these problems. Contemporary problems are not far removed from the classic problems faced by the previous Ulama, which have been discussed in the classic books they have written, such as the LGBT issue, issues around marriage such as birth control or family planning, and many other problems that fatwas can answer. Fatwas and fiqh opinions existed in the classical period, which only changed the social dimension and perspective in modern times.

Supervision is an important service provided to teachers with the aim of improving the quality of the teaching staff. The implementation of supervision is very important to be carried out by the principal in order to develop the professionalism of the teacher himself. Teachers who are the spearhead of the success of an education are required to work professionally. Therefore, to make teachers professional, one of the efforts is to carry out supervision, both by the principal and supervisor. In carrying out supervision, supervisors are expected not to act as supervisors who are only looking for teachers in carrying out their duties. On the other hand, supervisors must be able to provide service assistance to overcome problems faced by teachers. Therefore, supervisors must be able and understand and master the objectives, techniques, functions as well as supervision methods, in order to obtain optimal benefits in the form of professional teachers.

FUNGSI DAN PERAN KEPEMIMPINAN SEKOLAH DALAM MEMBERIKAN REWARD UNTUK MENINGKATKAN MINAT BELAJAR SISWA
Authors: Iqbal Muhammad
Published: January 2023

Reward is an award in the form of reward, gifts, or reward given to a student who has done something good, or has succeeded in reaching a certain stage or development, or has reached a target.  Reward as an important tool in education is given to students who have done something good, or havesucceeded in achieving acertain development, or have achieved a target in learning.  In the concept of education, reward is a tool in increasing motivation and innovation in students.  Awards given by school principals or teachers can motivate and innovate to students to increaase students’ stronger interest in learning.  Even if it’s only a gesture of throwing a smile, thumbs up, or a given greeting by school leardership or teacher, it can please the feeling with a happy heart that is manifested in body movements with a happy soul.   So reward and interest in learning cannot be separated in educational methods that must be carried out by school leardership or teachers.

Islamic education is the accumulation of knowledge originating from the Al-Qur'an and As-Sunnah, taught, fostered, and instructed to mankind as students through the application of methods and methods designed to develop students with Muslim personalities. In Islamic education, an increase in student moderation coincides with an increase in character. So it is felt that there is a need for a form of design to be able to help facilitate Islamic religious education to achieve the desired goals. The literature study was used in this research to obtain data about Islamic religious moderation-based social laboratory learning. The data obtained is then analyzed by following a flow that includes data simplification, data visualization, and drawing conclusions. This research seeks to develop a Religious Moderation-based PAI Social Laboratory Learning design. This study tries to describe the design of PAI learning based on the value of religious moderation. The results of this study are a design of PAI learning which is designed through several stages, including analysis to evaluation, and revision. This research itself has contributed to the discussion of Islamic religious education in Indonesia which focuses on the themes of religious moderation.
Effect of choosing a variogram model to predict salinity and its impact on the environment and geotechnical structures
Authors: Seddiki Ahmed , Dehimi Salim
Published: January 2023

Various disciplines, engineering, humanities, and other sciences require interpolating many parameters. Geostatistics, with its structural analysis step, is widely used for this purpose. Variography is the valuable step used to assess the correlation and dependence of the data. However, the wrong choice of the variogram model encounter all the predictive attended results. This article illustrates how the use of inappropriate variogram models can seriously conduct to a misleading of predicted results for such analysis. The influence of the selection of the semi-variogram model is highlighted and illustrated by thematic maps developed using three different models (Gaussian, spherical and exponential). To avoid such a drawback, a methodical approach to select the most suitable model, based on the calculation and analysis of the mean error (ME), the mean square error (MSE), the root of the square error mean (REQM), mean standard error (ESM) and root of mean standard error (REQSM), is proposed in the present research study. Such contribution could reduce the negative effects of the choice of variogram model on the interpolation operation using the kriging technique.
Building Ethical Capital through Human Resource
Authors: Mishra A. K. , Aithal P. S.
Published: January 2023

Purpose: Both in the professional world and the academic world, there is a rising interest in modern-day business ethics. However, ethical violations continue to occur in the course of business operations, prompting academics and professionals to re-evaluate the current state of affairs and devise innovative new approaches to the problem of effectively managing ethics in business organizations. The goal of this study is to assess the most successful means of creating an ethical culture in the workplace for building ethical capital within the greater framework of human resource management practices.
Design/Methodology/Approach: This is a review paper. Content analysis was done to compare and contrast the existing knowledge and potential practice based on model analysis considering Structure-related, organizational and individual constraints in the workplace. The classroom discussions among professional appearing as Masters scholars having more than 5 years of experience has enlightened the contextual comparison of the theoretical body of knowledge in the study.
Findings/Result: In light of this, although attempts to market ethics are primarily directed on utilizing and developing clear, documented formal mechanisms, the literature argues that alternative tools are equally important and required to accomplish this goal. Due to the significant impact that HRM ethics and practices are believed to have on staff employees, there has been a recent surge in interest in the study of the role that Human Resource Management (henceforth, HRM) plays in promoting ethical behavior in the workplace through standards, training, and codes. In the workplace, the institutions and interactions all work together to do what's right, even when it's difficult to do the right thing, core values will drive value-creating initiatives. Compliance will keep us out of trouble, but virtuous ethics will produce value for both our co-workers and our organization as a whole.
Originality/Value: A comprehensive examination of the role that HRM systematically signifies in generating an ethical workplace for the organization.

Published: January 2023

Emotional competence refer to the mastering of abilities to do a task, sufficiency of means for living, easy circumstances or, in ethical since, a right to task cognizance which specifies the process of observation, comprehension, explanation, exploration and manipulation of the experiences more objectively, with the fullest use of an individual’s normal capabilities. Izard (1993) notes that although emotional experiences are activated by neural, sensorimotor, motivational, and cognitive systems, neural systems can activate emotions without cognitive mediation. Emotions are generally of short duration and are associated with a specific stimulus.
The Silent Militarization: Explaining the Logic of Military Members' Appointment As Police Chiefs
Authors: Zarkin Jessica
Published: January 2023

What explains the militarization of public safety? Despite its failures, police militarization remains a popular policy. Existing scholarship has mainly focused on the police adopting military weapons and tactics but has neglected a silent but consequential type: the appointment of military members as police chiefs. Whereas the conventional wisdom points to partisanship and violence as key drivers, I argue that the militarization of police leaders responds to political motives. Based on a novel data set on 5,580 appointments in Mexico and repeated event history analysis, I find evidence of a top-down militarization sequence. Mayors are more likely to appoint military chiefs when upper levels of
government and peers embrace a militarized security strategy. I further illustrate how coercive pressures and strategic incentives drive this sequence
ON THE MEAN SEA SURFACE DATA IN THE GDR FILES OF THE TOPEX/POSEIDON, JASON-1, 2, AND 3 MISSIONS
Authors: Ardalan A. A. , Hashemifaraz A. , Karimi R.
Published: January 2023

Abstract. Altimetry satellites of the TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, Jason-2, and Jason-3 missions have provided the ocean study community with an unprecedented long-term time series of sea level observations from space. In this paper, we aim to investigate the mean sea surface (MSS) data given by the GDR files of the mentioned missions starting from the 1992 TOPEX/Poseidon mission to the latest GDR files of Jason-3. Due to climate change, it is expected that there be changes in the MSS value and furthermore, its trend is detectable in the time series of thirty years of mentioned altimetry observations. More specifically, we would like to know within long-term altimetry observations how the effect of sea level change is handled in the GDR files of TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, 2, and 3 missions, and whether there are cares to be considered when using the MSS data given in the GDR files of these missions? Answer to this question and other related issues are discussed in the paper. Our benchmark for verifications of MSS data in the GDR files is the time series of the sea level heights (SSH) at 30 passes of the mentioned missions over the Baltic Sea.
CASTLE: A CONTEXT-AWARE SPATIAL-TEMPORAL LOCATION EMBEDDING PRE-TRAINING MODEL FOR NEXT LOCATION PREDICTION
Authors: Cheng J. , Huang J. , Zhang X.
Published: January 2023

Abstract. Next location prediction is helpful for service recommendation, public safety, intelligent transportation, and other location-based applications. Existing location prediction methods usually use sparse check-in trajectories and require massive historical data to capture complex spatial-temporal correlations. High spatial-temporal resolution trajectories have rich information. However, obtaining personal trajectories with long time series and high spatio-temporal resolution usually proves challenging. Herein, this paper proposes a two-stage Context-Aware Spatial-Temporal Location Embedding (CASTLE) model, a multi-modal pre-training model for sequence-to- sequence prediction tasks. The method is built in two steps. First, large-scale location datasets, which are sparse but easier to be acquired (i.e., check-in and anomalous navigation data), are used for pre-training location embedding to capture the multi-functional properties under different contexts. After that, the learned contextual embedding is used for downstream location prediction in small-scale but higher spatio-temporal resolution trajectory datasets. Specifically, the CASTLE model combines Bidirectional and Auto-Regressive Transformers to generate contextual embedding vectors rather than a fixed vector for each location. Furthermore, we introduce a location and time-aware encoder to reflect the spatial distances between locations and visit times. Experiments are conducted on two real trajectory datasets. The results show that the CASTLE model can pre-train beneficial location embedding and outperforms the model without pre-training by 4.6–7.1%. The proposed method is expected to improve the next location prediction accuracy without massive historical data, which will greatly drive the use of trajectory data.
GOOGLE EARTH ENGINE BASED APPROACH FOR COASTAL WATER MONITORING: A CASE STUDY OF THE SOUTHERN SHORE OF CASPIAN SEA
Authors: Karimzadeh S.
Published: January 2023

Abstract. Coastal regions are important, sensitive ecological systems and are also significant from an economic point of view as they are used for tourism, fishing, aquaculture, and recreation. An attempt was made to focus on the Caspian Sea including the southern shore of it, Mazandaran province, Iran using the Google earth engine platform. This study for the first time assesses the shoreline changes over 33 years and sea surface salinity, by using Landsat 5 TM and Landsat 9 OLI data acquired from the coastal region of the southern Caspian Sea. The coastal zone features were delineated using Landsat 5 TM and Landsat 9 OLI data respectively from 1988 and 2022. A manual identification technique was used for coastline extraction and detection. The advances in shoreline position were mainly detected over these 33 years in 6 points, as a result of breakwaters which are constructed to prevent erosion and the structural buildings such as recreational piers or wharves. The SSS expression was implemented on the datasets of pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons. The estimated SSS was in the range of 3–20 PSU. The higher range of SSS was spatially along the nearshore with a maximum of about 9–20 PSU in the pre-monsoon image. The SSS derived from the post-monsoon dataset illustrated a lower amount of SSS in some places nearshore which was due to the mixing of freshwater from river discharge and Indian monsoon precipitation in summer 2022. The obtained SSS was validated by in-situ measurement in 20 stations and the R2 value of 0.92 showed a strong correlation between observed and satellite-derived SSS products.

Abstract. Finding the desired products and achieving them at the lowest possible cost has always been one of the concerns of in-person buyers. Finding stores containing the desired products is one of the most important services that can be provided to this part of the buyer community. It provided that the costs are minimal, as well as determining the order of visiting the stores and guiding the buyer by routing between store and buyer positions. Transportation is also one of the most important applications of spatial information systems in the field of optimal management of facilities. In this study, routing was performed by Algorithm A*, which was slightly different from the Dijkstra algorithm in terms of accuracy, but in terms of response time, recorded an average reduction of 70%.

Kvazi-eksperimentalan pristup ekonomskom rastu Hrvatske
Authors: Antić Miljenko
Published: January 2023

Hrvatska je bila gospodarski i demografski uspješnija u periodu od 1946. — 1990. nego nakon osamostaljenja. Članak istražuje uzroke takvog stanja kao i teorijske konzekvence studije slučaja Republike Hrvatske. Članak navodi uzroke vrlo brzog gospodarskog rasta Socijalističke Republike Hrvatske do 1980. godine ali i uzroke ekonomske krize u posljednjih deset godina socijalističkog poretka i komunističke diktature. Ta kriza je doprinijela (uz vanjskopolitičke okolnosti) propasti socijalizma i Jugoslavije, te uvođenju demokracije i kapitalizma. Međutim, novi sustav nije ispunio očekivanja. Republika Hrvatska je postigla vrlo skromne gospodarske rezultate nakon osamostaljenja, uz značajan pad broja stanovnika. Iako je rat pridonio takvom stanju, poslijeratni rezultati pokazuju da je pogrešna gospodarska politika glavni uzročnik tog neuspjeha. Osobito je negativan bio utjecaj privatizacije. Na teorijskom planu, studija slučaja Hrvatske ne potvrđuje dominantne teorije o prednostima demokracije nad diktaturom, kapitalizma nad socijalizmom ni teorije koje ističu prednosti nacionalne homogenosti za gospodarski rast, ali potvrđuje teorije o utjecaju ekonomije na tranziciju iz diktature u demokraciju.

世界衛生組織不僅將智慧醫療（eHealth）定義為資通訊科技在醫療及健康領域的應用 ，亦認為數位科技（Digital technologies）有助於推進全民健康覆蓋以及健康福祉相關的永續發展目標 ，衛生福利部第九期醫療網，亦將創造具韌性且智能的醫療照護體系訂為總目標之一。財團法人醫院評鑑暨醫療品質策進會持續於本（2022）年度進行全國醫院智慧醫療發展問卷普查。在疫情影響下，視訊診療、數位學習系統及遠距教學等導入比率較高，而環境管理智慧化導入則相較門急住診等應用要來得低。AI技術的應用是醫學中心未來一年的發展重點，非醫學中心則放在資訊安全。醫院政策、醫療人員需求及衛生政策分別為前三項推動的關鍵因素，差別在於地區醫院更看重醫院政策與衛生政策。

 

The World Health Organization defined eHealth as “the use of information and communications technology in support of health and health-related fields”, and it considered digital technologies conducive to promoting universal health coverage as well as to sustainable development goals related to health and welfare. The ninth phase of the medical network of the Ministry of Health and Welfare has established one of its overall goals as establishing a healthcare system that is resilient and smart. As in the past, in 2022, the Joint Commission of Taiwan continued to conduct a census of the development of eHealth in medical institutions in Taiwan. Affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, video teleconferencing for disease diagnosis and treatment, digital learning systems, and distant teaching have been more widely introduced compared to the application of environmental smart management in outpatient clinics, emergency departments, and inpatient clinics. In the following year, the application of artificial intelligence technology will be a key development point for medical centers; by contrast, the focus of non-medical centers will be information security. The top three key factors for promoting eHealth among medical institutions will be hospital policies, medical personnel demands, and health policies, with the only difference being that local community hospitals will focus more on hospital policies and health policies.

強化社會安全網計畫自2018年推展以來，於各縣市成立第二期計畫社區心理衛生中心，花蓮縣有別於其他縣市，將心理衛生業務與物質成癮業務整併為花蓮縣身心健康及成癮防治所，同時聘任期精神科專科醫師帶動團隊，整合花蓮縣心理健康相關工作，藉此將民眾需求，透過完善的服務，逐步讓鄉親有感而能體認須對自我身心的重視。

 

The project to reinforce social security networks was launched in 2018. In its second phase, Taiwan counties and cities were required to establish community mental health centers. Unlike other counties and cities, Hualien County integrated the businesses of mental health and substance addiction to establish the Hualien County Center for Mental Health and Prevention of Addiction. The center recruited psychiatrists to lead the integration of mental health–related services in Hualien County to provide comprehensive services catering to people’s needs. With time, the center will increase Hualien residents’ acknowledgement and recognition of the importance of physical and mental health.

Published: January 2023

目的：本回溯性研究是探討病人住院期間非計畫重返手術室(Unplanned Return to the Operating Room, UROR)的情形。方法：研究資料來源收集2015至2019年住院手術病人，以描述性統計分析病人基本、手術屬性及年度分布，以卡方、獨立t檢定及邏輯斯複迴歸進行推論性統計檢定。結果：研究期間UROR共658人次，發生率1.25%；發生科部前四名是口腔醫學部、婦產部、神經醫學部及外科部共佔總發生率77.51%。邏輯斯複迴歸分析結果發現男性、年齡調整後查爾森共病指數越高、手術傷口分級越髒及全身麻醉，發生UROR的機率會上升，而發生UROR的前三大原因為感染、前次手術未達預期功能及出血。結論：UROR是監測手術醫療品質的重要指標，醫院管理者及外科團隊應瞭解發生原因，擬訂適當照護策略以提升整體醫療品質。

 

Purpose: This retrospective study aimed to explore the risk factors for and causes of unplanned return to the operating room (UROR) during hospitalization.Methods: Data on inpatient surgical patients were collected from 2015 to 2019. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the patients’ demographic and clinical characteristics and their annual admission rates. A chi-square test, independent t test, and logistic regression analysis were used.Results: The number of instances of UROR and rate of UROR were 658 and 1.25%, respectively.The most frequented departments were dentistry, gynecology, neurology, and surgery, accounting for 77.51% of the total rate. The logistic regression analysis revealed that male sex, older age (using age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index), poor wound management, and the use of general anesthesia were the risk factors for UROR. Infection, primary surgery failure, and bleeding were the most common causes of UROR.Conclusion: UROR can be used as a key indicator for quality of care in surgery. Hospital administrators and clinicians should recognize the risk factors for UROR and develop appropriate treatment strategies to improve the overall quality of medical care.

Published: January 2023

Background: The use of social media has grown rapidly over the past decennium and a half, however, not much research is conducted on it to identify its correlation with mental well-being and its effects. Aim: To determine the correlation between social media usage and mental well-being in young adults. Study design: Cross Sectional study. Methodology: Data was collected using convenient sampling. This study includes a sample size of 215 young adults, 108 men, and 107 women, from two universities in Lahore, Pakistan, aged between 18 -25 years. Two instruments were used in this study to measure the variables, the Social Networking Usage questionnaire, and Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale. Data was evaluated by using SPSS version 24. Pearson’s correlation and independent sample t-test were applied with p-value < 0.05 as significant. Results: Findings indicated a significant positive relationship between all dimensions of social media usage including academic, socialization, entertainment, and information. High mean scores indicated that research participants mostly use social media for academic purposes. There was not a statistically significant relationship that could be seen between social media usage and mental well-being. Gender differences were found only related to mental well-being where men scored high as compared to women with a significance of 0.01 level. Practical Implication: Present study results raised the idea of examining other mediating or moderating factors between the connection between social media platforms usage and mental well-being. Not only the time but the content and purpose of social media should also be considered while establishing the direction of the relationship. Conclusion: It was concluded that young adults’ use of social media has not an inverse connection with mental health, and they mostly use it for academic purposes. However, men and women are different on the mental well-being scale, and men with high well-being reported for the present sample. Key words: Social Media, Correlation, Mental Well-Being, Depression and Self-Esteem.
