The Contamination of soils near the road Lubumbashi-Kipushi was investigated. Analysis of cadmium, copper, lead, and zinc contents, as well as pH-water samples, yielded average MTEs with a decreasing profile concerningthe distance from the road with pH values ​​around 7.5. At the surface, copper gave the highest value (14459 mg/kg) of all MTE studied near the road at 0.5m and the lowest value (2271 mg/kg) at 20m of the road. Cadmium did not vary statistically but gave the lowest value (54.5 mg/kg) of all MTE at 20m from the road with a high value of 478 mg/kg at 2.5m from the road. Compared to sampling sites, statistical averages for these three variables (Cu, Pb, and Zn) showed a change in copper content with a high value of 13675 mg/kg at site 4 and a low value of 4771 mg/kg at site 3. Cadmium did not give a significant variation from sites. In-depth, the elements displayed the same behavior as on the surface. This was the case of copper, which had an average concentration of 14751 mg/kg at a distance of 0.5m close to the road and its smallest value was 2151 mg/kg at 50m. The pH did not show any significant variations. The correlation between the parameters studied showed that Cu, Cd, and Pb contents were bound, but they were independent of pH while Zn was bound to pH.

Background and Objectives: Dentists are at a higher risk of acquiring COVID-19 than the lay persons due to exposure of aerosols and saliva. Hence, Centre for Disease Control (CDC) has updated the protocols that need to be implemented during COVID-19 pandemic. The study aimed at evaluating the awareness among the dental practitioners regarding the interim changes in infection control protocols recommended by CDC during the pandemic and implementation of the same in the clinical practise. Materials and Methodology: Four hundred general dental practitioners and specialists participated in the study(n=400). The study was conducted as an anonymous web-based survey and respond­ing to the survey was considered implicit consent. The survey had 17 questions addressing the respondents characteristics, awareness about the changes in protocol by CDC and implementation of the same in the waiting area, operatory and postoperative care respectively. Results: The results of the study indicated that the awareness amongst the dental health care professionals both in general and specialisedpractise regarding the interim infection control protocols was relatively good. However, there were certain protocols that werent implemented owing to some difficulties faced by the dentists in their clinical practise. Interpretation and Conclusion: In spite of the relatively good knowledge regarding the interim infection control protocols, implementation of certain protocols was found to be lacking. Hence, the awareness regarding these guidelines must be increased through various continuing education programs and short-term courses on infection control and cross infection management during covid-19 pandemic.

Adhesions are abnormal peritoneal fibrotic bands with varying degrees of stiffness that connect two surfaces that are normally separated in the peritoneal cavity. They are responsible for locating the inflammatory reaction when there is an infection or foreign body carrying oxygen to ischemic tissue [1]. Many serious complications may be associated to adhesions such as chronic pelvic pain and small bowel obstruction and are associated to dyspareunia and secondary infertility [2]. Adhesion formation occurs in 90% of abdominal and pelvic surgeries, with a lower incidence when the surgery is performed laparoscopically Laparoscopic myomectomy offers a real benefit to infertile patients with uterine fibroids and peritoneal adhesions. The procedure requires a skilled surgeon and laparoscopy technique to minimize adhesion formation and other proven benefits.

As the 21st century globalization, it has become more clear that the evolution of the migration phenomenon will bring drastic changes in the population structure and the appurtenance to a multi-ethnic society will become the social rule. In this context, the relation between the migration decision and the social and economic factors of the origin or destination countries becomes a strategic one. In order to optimize the positive effects of migration, the policies of the specific economic and social fields need to be harmonized with the migration strategies at national and EU level. The article focuses on the influence of the social and economic factors on the migration management at EU level using quantitative research methods. The research results indicated that the main economic and social factors that greatly influence migration management are the manner in which the labour market functions, and in particular its demographic and competitive deficiencies. Scientists, specialists from the competent public authorities can capitalize the results obtained, improving policies and strategies in this field in view of the benefit of the local community and of migrants who want to integrate in the community.

COVID-19 is a major global pandemic the world is reeling around. This pandemic has significantly affected the world economy due to the closedown and suspension of activities in various sectors. Though many migrant workers lost their jobs instantly, many private-sector employees still face unprecedented pay cuts even today. The only safer population is the government employees who enjoy better job security and salary assurance. However, the younger generation today prefer to work in the private sector due to various factors. In this circumstantial situation, this sample study was focused on the effects of COVID-19 pandemic on the private sector employees and their attitude towards their job, the employer as well as government jobs. The study results revealed the economic unpreparedness of private-sector employees to manage the financial turbulence which humanity is facing now. Unforeseen pay cut has led to a disastrous situation in the lives of private-sector employees. And the study results also show, despite all this hardship, the private sector employees do not want to shift themselves to government jobs and cope up with the situation in their unique ways.

Background: Frozen shoulder is a spontaneous onset condition, disabling and sometimes severely painful condition accompanied by progressive limitation of both active and passive movements of shoulder joint. It is one of the important conditions that could be treated by physiotherapy. Methods: Patients attending day clinic department and physiotherapy units in AL-Yarmouk Teaching Hospital in Baghdad/Iraq. A prospective study covered 94 adult patients. Results: Half (50.0%) of the sample were in the old age group (56-70) year. Female more than male (55.3%, 44.7% respectively), more than half of the patients 56.4% have right sided affected. There was no significant difference in the results between the two methods of treatment (p = 0.512). The improvement rate 57.8% is higher among those with mild degree of stiffness, although there was no significant difference between the three degrees of stiffness (p = 0.185). Conclusions: Frozen shoulder is a disabling condition and recovery needs a long-term process. Many physiotherapy options are available for the management, but there is still no consensus among the rheumatologist regarding which therapeutic option is superior. In this study both ultrasound and short-wave therapies have no difference in the outcome of frozen shoulder management.

Cost effective analysis are commonly used to evaluate the potential costs and benefits of health care services. They are often conducted under the assumption of no drug wastage which does not reflect the real world scenario. Cancer is a major health problem responsible for 9% deaths all over the world. Anti-cancer drugs are costlier than any other category drugs due to which the compliance to treatment is questionable. Cancer drug wastage occurs when a parenteral drug within a single-use vial is not fully administered to a patient because of body-weight or body surface-area based dose calculation in cancer chemotherapy. We conducted a prospective observational study in chemotherapy OPD where patients undergo I.V chemotherapy treatment. Data was collected for a period of three months on the drugs and its wastage. Analysis was done to find out drugs causing an increment in cost due to wastage.Our analysis showed that wastage incremented cost of treatment by an average of 3% which accounts for Rs 2,39,237.12 per annum without any added benefit. The drug with maximum cost of wastage was found to be oxaliplatin.9.43% increment in cost was due to oxaliplatin alone, the reason was concluded to be limited vial size.

MANDATORY MEDIATION IN THE LIGHT OF HIGH COURT DECISIONS IN TURKISH LAW
Authors: BELGİN GÜNEŞ Derya
Published: October 2020

In Turkish Law, referral to mediation prior to bringing an action was made mandatory for labor disputes in 2017, for commercial disputes in 2018 and lastly, for consumer disputes in 2020. In 2018, with Article 18/A added to the Law on Mediation in Civil and Commercial Dispute, a general regulation was made regarding mandatory mediation. In this study, problems related to the decrees issued by the high court following the new legal regulations under question are addressed. To start, an explanation is provided of why we prefer the concept of “mandatory mediation” to that of the concept of “mediation as a cause of action”, the latter of which is the concept used by legislators. After addressing this issue of concept, an overview of the content of new regulations is provided, followed by an examination of the Constitutional Court’s decree on mandatory mediation in labor disputes in cases of rejection of application based on the allegation of contradiction of provisions for mandatory mediation in the constitution. In addition, the decrees of the Court of Appeal and Court of Cassation issued regarding whether referral to mediation is mandatory or not in terms of action for annulment of objection, negative declaratory action, actions having the quality of both consumer disputes and commercial disputes, concentration of actions, and counter-action were reviewed. Lastly, we offer opinions on whether referral to mandatory mediation on these matters is possible or not based on the issued high court decrees.

Utilizou-se o método de Regressão Linear Múltipla stepwise com o intuito de verificar a relação entre as variáveis apontadas pela literatura e as notas obtidas pelos municípios brasileiros na EBT. O primeiro modelo foi composto por 1415 municípios, no qual foram testadas variáveis socioeconômicas, políticas e orçamentárias. Foi comprovada a influência de fatores políticos e econômicos no nível de transparência municipal, corroborando alguns estudos na área. Todavia, nada se pôde afirmar sobre grande parte das variáveis. Dessa forma, foi testado um segundo modelo tendo como área de estudo os municípios de Minas Gerais com o intuito de verificar novas variáveis, que não estavam disponíveis para municípios dos demais estados. Os novos resultados apontaram a influência de variáveis orçamentárias, socioeconômicas, escolares e de segurança pública no nível de transparência municipal. Portanto, percebe-se a importância de políticas locais que ensejam a transparência por parte dos municípios, tendo em vista a diversidade de fatores que podem exercer relação com o tema.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar o efeito da implementaÃ§Ã£o dos sistemas ERP e CRM na satisfaÃ§Ã£o dos clientes. Mais especificamente, avaliar a correlaÃ§Ã£o entre a implementaÃ§Ã£o desses sistemas e os indicadores de satisfaÃ§Ã£o dos clientes, como os pedidos completos e entregues no prazo, comparando-se os dados antes e depois da implementaÃ§Ã£o dos sistemas. Para tanto, foi utilizado o mÃ©todo da pesquisa de campo por meio da anÃ¡lise quantitativa sobre dados primÃ¡rios, obtidos de uma empresa multinacional do setor de equipamentos cientÃ­ficos e para a saÃºde, selecionada de forma nÃ£o probabilÃ­stica, porÃ©m, a seleÃ§Ã£o atendeu a condiÃ§Ã£o da empresa possuir um processo maduro de avaliaÃ§Ã£o da satisfaÃ§Ã£o de clientes, utilizando indicadores baseados em uma survey enviada a cada pedido de venda despachado. Os resultados da pesquisa indicaram que a survey de 16 questÃµes com 759 respondentes, realizada pela empresa, apresentou consistÃªncia interna Ã³tima, medida pelo coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach. Entretanto, ainda que as mÃ©dias das respostas tenham apresentado tendÃªncia de melhora, apÃ³s a implementaÃ§Ã£o dos sistemas ERP e CRM, sob o ponto de vista estatÃ­stico, tal melhora nÃ£o pode ser considerada significativa, uma vez que as mÃ©dias se encontram no mesmo intervalo de confianÃ§a. Recomenda-se o desenvolvimento de uma nova linha de investigaÃ§Ã£o incluindo a avaliaÃ§Ã£o do comportamento de outras variÃ¡veis operacionais e financeiras, como giro de estoque, receitas de vendas e lucratividade, considerando tambÃ©m a avaliaÃ§Ã£o do lag effect apÃ³s a implementaÃ§Ã£o dos sistemas ERP e CRM.

Published: October 2020

Membaca dapat mengembangkan pengetahuan, kreativitas, imajinasi dan pola berpikir seseorang. Namun realitanya budaya membaca masyarakat Indonesia sangat rendah. Untuk meningkatkan minat baca, pemerintah dan masyarakat Indonesia telah melaksanakan program-program literasi. Namun program tersebut umumnya hanya dilakukan secara simbolis dan ceremonial. Belum banyak sekolah yang memiliki kebijakan melaksanakan pengintegrasian kegiatan literasi dalam pembelajaran di kelas. Pemanfaatan media pembelajaran kisah keteladanan merupakan satu cara untuk mengintegrasikan kegiatan literasi dalam pembelajaran. Pemanfaatan media kisah keteladanan ini dapat meningkatkan karakter peduli sosial dan prestasi. Pemberian media kisah keteladanan memberikan factor penggerak diluar diri siswa kemudian menginternalisasi dalam factor internal siswa. Kisah Nabi Sulaiman yang dipilih untuk penelitian ini juga memuat nilai teladan peduli sosial. Nilai tersebut merupakan stimulus yang diberikan untuk mempengaruhi sikap siswa. Kisah tersebut dapat mendorong perkembangan psikologis dan emosional yang dapat menanamkan nilai-nilai pedagogis sehingga dapat mempengaruhi pribadi dan membentuk sikap-sikap moral keteladanan. ABSTRACTReading can develop a person's knowledge, creativity, imagination, and thinking patterns. However, the reading culture of Indonesian society is deficient. To increase interest in reading, the government and the people of Indonesia have implemented literacy programs. However, these programs are generally only carried out symbolically and ceremonially. Not many schools have policies to integrate literacy activities into learning. The use of exemplary story learning media is a way to integrate literacy activities into learning. The use of exemplary story media can increase the character of social care and achievement. Providing exemplary story media provides a driving factor outside of the student then internalizes it in the student's internal factor. The story of Prophet Sulaiman chosen for this study also contains exemplary values of social care. This value is a stimulus given to influence student attitudes. This story can encourage psychological and emotional development that can instill pedagogical values to influence individuals and shape exemplary moral attitudes.

The nursing process is one of the most important tools used by a nurse as a guide, blueprint, and map of care that is provided to patients. This study aimed to determine the utilization of nurses in the nursing process in terms of knowledge, performance, and challenges they faced and experienced while using it. Specifically, it answered the questions a) what are the sociodemographic profile of the participants; b) what is the level of knowledge, performance, and challenges faced by nurses in using the nursing process; c) what is the level of satisfaction of the patients to the care provided by nurses as they utilize the nursing process; d) what is the degree of relationship between the nurses’ knowledge of the nursing process to their profile; and lastly E) what is the level of nurses’ knowledge, performance and level of challenges in the utilization of the nursing process. The use of the nursing process by the nurses showed that there is a highly statistically significant relation between their total knowledge and performance regarding the use and implementation of the nursing process in their provision of care to their patients. There was an effective use of the nursing process despite some challenges and difficulties experienced by the nurses while utilizing in providing care to their patients.
Identity Construction of Government Staff Interpreters in China —A Corpus-based Study of Shifts in Political Interpreting
Authors: Zhan Cheng
Published: October 2020

This paper presents the findings of a corpus-based empirical study on the role of government staff interpreters in the political context of China. Based on a qualitative analysis of discourse documented in authentic encounters between top leaders of Guangdong Province and their foreign visitors in interpreter-facilitated communication, the paper attempts to question the long-held view that government staff interpreters serve as a neutral, transparent non-person. To provide perhaps a new perspective from which the interpreter’s role may be revisited, this paper looks at personal angle shifts in the interpretation done by six staff interpreters of Guangdong Foreign Affairs Office, including shifts between first person and third person angles, and second person and third person angles. With what corpus data reveal, the paper argues that the interpreter’s role as a mediator is conspicuous even in high-level political interpreting. Rather than a transparent non-person, the interpreter constructs and represents her identity as well as the identity of the institution she belongs to by discursive means, and therefore acts as an active party of communication.
The Unifying Theory of Bootstrapping: The Collaboration of Multiple Language Acquisition Mechanisms
Authors: Song Zequn Harry
Published: October 2020

Scientists have long been exploring the possibility of Universal Grammar (UG), a linguistic gene that engenders our language acquisition process. What UG may comprise is debated: if semantics is innate, or syntax, or some other linguistic aspects. Moreover, no definitive evidence has surfaced to attest to its existence. Therefore, a first-language acquisition process without the prerequisite of UG is called for. In this paper, we tear apart the incompatibilities among different language acquisition hypotheses and combine them into a theory in which language learning does not require UG. We contend that a unification of the current hypotheses (i.e., pragmatic, prosodic, semantic, and syntactic bootstrapping) is substantial for first-language acquisition, and that scientists should be wary of oversimplifying matters with UG.
The effect of ambidextrous leadership on employee voice: A moderated mediation model
Authors: Peng Gui-Liang
Published: October 2020

I drew on social identity theory to explore the influence of ambidextrous leadership on employee voice. Participants were 208 employees at 5 knowledge-intensive business service enterprises in China. Hierarchical regression analysis and bootstrapping analysis results show that ambidextrous
leadership was positively correlated with employee voice, and leader identification played a partial mediating role in this relationship. Further, this mediating role was positively moderated by cognitive flexibility, which also positively moderated the relationship between leader identification
and employee voice. These findings support a positive link between ambidextrous leadership and employee voice, with leader identification mediating, and cognitive flexibility moderating this relationship. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
Does leader narcissism hinder employees taking charge? An affective events theory perspective
Authors: Chen Jiang-Tao , Cheng Zhi-Hui , Wang Hua-Qiang , Li Dan
Published: October 2020

Prior studies have shown that leaders' personality traits potentially have positive effects on employees' taking-charge behaviors; however, in this context, the negative influence of leaders' dark personality traits has largely been neglected in research. On the basis of affective events
theory, we proposed a moderated mediation model to explain the impact of leader narcissism on employees' taking-charge behavior Through a 3-stage leader–follower dyadic research design, we collected 195 responses to a survey. The results indicate that leader narcissism had a significant
negative effect on employees' taking-charge behavior via the mediator of employees' work engagement, and that leader narcissism decreased employees' work engagement when employees' self-reported proactive personality was low. In addition, the indirect effect of employee work engagement on
leader narcissism and taking charge was stronger when employees' self-reported proactive personality was low. Our results have implications for preventing the negative effects of narcissistic leadership and promoting employees' taking-charge behavior.
