Domestic constitutional supervision (20th – the first half of the 30s of the twentieth century)
Authors: Shulzhenko Yuri L.
Published: March 2023

According to the author, the essence of one of the most important forms of legal protection of the constitution is constitutional supervision, in the activities of checking, identifying, ascertaining and eliminating inconsistencies with the constitution of other legal acts. The time frame of the chosen research period is due to the fact that it was then that interesting both in practical and theoretical terms in many ways search solutions in this area took place in our country. It was a period of intense competition between the Supreme Court of the USSR and the Prosecutor’s Office of the Supreme Court of the USSR for a place and role in constitutional supervision. The end result is that the Union parliament has become dominant here at the level of the Center, in the subjects of the Federation – their parliaments. At the same time, the main functions of constitutional supervision are assigned ultimately to the Prosecutor’s Office of the USSR. It should also be noted that the very fact of the revival of the prosecutor's office in Soviet times has become a real indicator of the resuscitation, adaptation, use in practice of old, pre-revolutionary, proven, in many ways specific, traditional institutions for Russia. It should be noted that such a parliamentary structure of constitutional supervision with the involvement of the prosecutor's office is very attractive and can be effective. It presupposes the adoption of measures to bring acts that do not comply with the Constitution into compliance with it even before their adoption, so in advance.

محمد الثبيتي بروميثيوس الشعراء
Authors: الأحمدي مجدي بن عيد , الدوسري محمد بن عبد الله
Published: March 2023

تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى بيان مكانة الشاعر محمد الثبيتي في قصيدة (سيِّد البِيْد) للشاعر علي النحوي، التي جاءت في ديوان (أُنْثَى النـَّرْد)؛ إذ تُمثّل هذه القصيدة إيمانًا لدى الشاعر علي النحوي بمكانة الشاعر محمد الثبيتي العالية في الشعر، واعترافًا بقيمته الفنية؛ لذا جاءت هذه الدراسة لتستكشف هذه القصيدة من خلال العنوان، وبنية القصيدة، والدلالات العميقة، والتقاطعات النصّية. وتكتسب الدراسة أهميتها في تناولها لنّصٍ يُبرز أثر الشاعر محمد الثبيتي، الذي يعتبر أبرز شعراء العربية السعودية حتى بعد وفاته، لما له من تأثير تنويري على شعراء جيله ومن بعدهم من الشعراء. وهو مولود عام 1952م، ويُعدُّ من رواد شعر التفعيلة الذين جددوا في الشعر السعودي واحتملوا نتائج نزعتهم التنويرية. وقد نال عددًا من الجوائز، منها: جائزة أفضل قصيدة في الدورة السابعة لمؤسسة جائزة عبد العزيز البابطين للإبداع الشعري، عام 2000م، عن قصيدة (موقف الرمال.. موقف الجناس)، وجائزة ولقب (شاعر عكاظ)، عام 2007م، وقد تعرض الثبيتي لأزمة قلبية، وذلك بعد عودته من رحلة ثقافية إلى اليمن عانى من آثارها، إلى أن تُوفي -رحمه الله- في يوم الجمعة 14 يناير 2011م. وللشاعر الثبيتي عدة دواوين شعرية، وقد أصدر النادي الأدبي في حائل أعمال الثبيتيّ الشعرية الكاملة في مجلد واحد.
خلصت الدراسة إلى الكشف عن نصًّ يُسجّل إعجابًا بشخصية محمد الثبيتي، فالشاعر علي النحوي يتجاوز المعتاد والمعروف عن قصائد المدح، من خلال الاعتراف بتفرّد محمد الثبيتي في ميدان الشعر، ممّا يُخرجه من عالم الشعراء الفحول إلى عالم الشخصيات المؤَسْطَرة، إذ يُسبغ علي النحوي على الثبيتي صفات ذات بُعد عجائبي أسطوري تتجلّى في انتمائه إلى الرّيح التي تمنحه السيادة على البيد ما يجعل النّص يضع المتلقي أمام شخصية تنزع للأسطورة.

The Ex-pats Go to War
Authors: Alolaiwi Hayder Naji Shanbooj
Published: March 2023

The present research is devoted to the post-WWI social and cultural milieu that made possible the intellectual and artistic effervescence characterizing the literary production of the American ex-pat writers in Paris during the 1920s and 1930s. The research is structured in an Introduction, four chapters, and Conclusion. After a necessary general presentation, the researcher goes deeper into the analysis of the identity crisis experienced by several American writers in exile, whom Gertrude Stein, herself an ex-pat, called “the Lost Generation” – among them, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Dos Passos, Sinclair Lewis, and Samuel Putnam. Starting from the assumption that by discovering Europe, the American writers discovered themselves, the researcher chose Hemingway to represent the post-WWI generation of American ex-pats and followed the writer’s search for identity, seen as a process of singularization based on recognizing that we share a common origin or circumstances with another person or community. Ample space is devoted to Hemingway’s novel The Sun Also Rises, where a feeling of uselessness and nonsense accompanies the characters. Having (re)discovered their identity in Paris, many returned to their native America, rediscovering her as more disappointing than expected.

Efficacy of Focused and Unfocused Written Corrective Feedback on EFL Learners’ Grammatical Accuracy
Authors: Aliakbari Mohammad , Aryan Mehdi , Sourani Maha
Published: March 2023

The potential effectiveness of various kinds of written corrective feedback (CF) has been the focus of CF investigations that did not reach firm conclusions about which methods of correction can more successfully facilitate students’ grammatical development. A good majority of the studies investigated an unfocused approach to CF while a focused approach has received far less attention. In line with this argument, the current study employed a pre-test, immediate post-test and delayed post-test design and set out to investigate the potential efficacy of unfocused and focused written CF in L2 accuracy development. The study incorporated 86 EFL students allocated to one control group and two experimental groups. Students in the focused group were corrected on irregular and regular past tense, while students in the unfocused group were corrected on a greater range of grammatical categories including irregular and regular past tense as well and learners in the control group received no written CF. Results of two-way repeated measures ANOVA and a set of ANOVAs with post-hoc evaluations revealed that in the short-term duration both treatment groups increased their accuracy but the efficacy of the focused CF found to be resilient.

تعد موضوعات الحنين ,طبيعة في نفس الشاعر العربي لاسيما في العصر العباسي , بسبب طبيعة بيئته وحياته في الصحراء والجزيرة العربية, ولم تقتصر موضوعات الحنين والغربة الى الانسان والمكان فقط بل تعداها الشاعر في العصر العباسي ببث عاطفته الجياشة وأحاسيسه المتأججة لرسم صورة خياله مُعبراً عن شعوره بالفقد واحساسه بالحنين الى  الرموز الدينية , فالشاعر العباسي يحنُ الى الصوم, ومكة ,ومِنى , والحجيج الى مكة . ولذلك كان الحنين الى الرموز الدينين غريزة في الشاعر العربي من العصر العباسي والذي ارتبط بدينه الاسلامي الحنيف ومبادئه السامية. لذا جاء موضوع بحثنا الموسوم " الحنين الى الرموز الدينية في شعر القرنين الرابع والخامس الهجريين من العصر العباسي ", بهدف تحديد غرض الحنين الى الرموز الدينية بكل أشكاله سواء الحنين الى الذات الالهية , و صوم رمضان, أو مكة , ومشاعر الحجيج ومِنى, وعرفات, نتيجة لتقرب الشعراء العباسيين من الله سبحانه وتعالى.

Published: March 2023

موضوع دراستنا عطف النسق في اللغة السريانية (انجيل مرقس انموذجاً )- دراسة لغوية سامية مقارنة .

عطف النسق هو التابع الذي يتوسط بينه وبين متبوعه احدى حروف العطف, أو الربط بين جملتين أو شبه جملة بواسطة حرف .

ماهو عطف النسق? وكم حروفه?  وهل هناك اختلاف في عدد حروفه?  وماهو احكامه ? وللاجابه على هذه الاسئله سمي عطف النسق بانه سمي عطف النسق لأنه ينسق الكلام بعضه على بعض بحيث يأخد المعطوف نسق المعطوف عليه في أحكام معينه , وحروف النَسق هي: ( الواو , الفاء , ثم , أو , أم , لا , حتى , بل , لكن , أما ) , يوجد اختلاف في عدد حروف عطف النسق عند النحاة العرب والسريان ايضاً .

ومن احكامه: عطف اسم على اسم , وعطف فعل على فعل , وعطف جملة على جملة ...

حدود البحث في إنجيل مرقس دراسة تطبيقة وكذلك مع المنهج المقارن اللغات السامية كاللغة السريانية واللغة العبرية واللغة العربية )وبعد الدراسة توصلنا إلى الاتي:

ان مصادر عطف النَسق في اللغة العربية  كثيرة جداً وفي  اللغات السامية ايضاً لكن بعض الدراسات درسة حروف النسق من ضمن التوابع لذلك تعتبر هذه الدراسة هامه جداً في اللغة السريانية ومقارنتها مع اللغتين العبرية والعربية , وتتفق اللغة السريانية مع شيقاتها اللغة العبرية واللغة العربية في احكام عطف النسق على الرغم من الاختلاف بين النحاة العرب والسريان في عدد حروف عطف النَسق يتفق الباحث مع اغلبية النحاة في العدد.

Authors: Singh Upma , Singh Pankaj , Singh Pradeep Kumar , Shukla Shikha , Singh Ram Lakhan , Mondal Sukanta
Published: March 2023

Introduction: Lagenaria siceraria has various pharmacological effects like antioxidant, anti-hyperglycemic, anti-ulcer, anti-cancer, hepatoprotective, antimicrobial, anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective activities and is used to treat various diseases like diabetes, jaundice, piles, ulcers, hypertension, colitis, insanity, and skin diseases.Context and purpose of the study: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the phytochemical content, antioxidant activity, DNA damage and hepatoprotective activities of Lagenaria siceraria (LS)plant’s parts to explore their nutraceutical value.Methods: Phytochemical content was measured by the estimation of total phenolics, carotenoids, ascorbic acid, protein and carbohydrates while antioxidant activities were investigated by assaying the parameters of free radical scavenging activity, lipid peroxidation, superoxide anion radical scavenging activity, reducing power, and DNA damage protection assay. Hepatoprotective activity of LS leaf was measured by assaying cell viability, superoxide dismutase activity, malondialdehyde and nitric oxide formation.Results: Among the tested plant samples, LS leaves showed high contents of total phenolics, carotenoids, ascorbic acid, and protein contents whereas LS fruits have high carbohydrate contents. Evaluation of antioxidant activities in different parts of the LS plant showed that the LS leaf has high antioxidant properties as compared to other plant parts. The L. siceraria leaf also showed DNA protection activities against Fenton’s reagent as well as UV induced hydroxyl radical’s damage. To test the hepatoprotective activity of LS leaf against acetaminophen, induced hepatocellular toxicity and leaf extract concentrations of 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 μg/104 cells were administered to cultured hepatocytes before acetaminophen exposure. The experimental results showed that LS leaf extract restores superoxide dismutase activity and reduces malondialdehyde and nitric oxide formation as compared to acetaminophen alone treated cultured cells.Conclusion: Our findings suggest that leaves of L. siceraria plants have high antioxidant potential and DNA damage-protective and hepatoprotective activities. Hence, the leaf part of this plant may be used in different food applications to provide nutritional and health benefits, as well as in various liver care herbal formulations.Keywords: Antioxidant, Hepatoprotective activity, Hepatocytes, Lipid peroxidation, Total phenolics

Authors: AL Hafedh Muna I. , Ali Sahira A. , Talal Lubab F.
Published: March 2023

Background: Wilms’ tumor 1 is a tumor suppressor gene. The gene is located in chromosome 11p13. And its expression was found in many solid tumors (including ovarian tumor) and also expressed in hematologic malignancies, Recent studies found that WT1 to be involved in angiogenesis.Objectives: To evaluate the expression of WT1 in surface epithelial ovarian tumorand study the possibility of using WT1 as replacement of both;ovarian tumor marker CA125 and a endothelial cell phenotypic marker CD34.Patients and methods: This is a study of a retrospective ( cross sectional ) of sixty cases with total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo - oopherectomy collected from department of Histopathology – Teaching Laboratories / Medical City Teaching Hospital , as well as Al alwya hospital and Al Habibia hospital in Baghdad during the period of study from December 2007 to December 2012. Thirty cases diagnosed as surface epithelial ovarian tumors and thirty cases of histologically normal ovarian tissue which were included as a control group. Formalin - fixed, paraffin - embedded ovarian tissue blocks from 60 cases were used . Three section of 4 micron for each taken and stained with WT1, CD34, and CA125 immunohistochemical marker on positively charged slides.Results: there were a significant correlation between expression of WT1 and histological types of surface epithelial ovarian tumor with a higher expression in serous tumors among other cancer types (P-value < 0.001).There was a significant positive correlation between the expression of WT1 and CA125 scores ( p-value < 0.001).There was a significant correlation between WT1microvessel density (MVD) expression and CD34- microvessel density (MVD) expression in ovarian tumors (P-value = 0.05).On the other hand, there were no significant correlation of WT1 with the age of cases (P-value = 0.9) and with the grade of ovarian tumors ( P-value = 0.23) .Conclusions: The present study demonstrates high expression of WT1 in both tumor and endothelial cells in surface epithelial ovarian tumors, and it had dual usages in evaluation of both ovarian tumor cells and the vascular density. That was proved by demonstrating a significant correlation between WT1 and CA125 expression, and between WT1-MVD and CD34- MVD . There was no statistically significant association between WT1 expression and different tumor grades. There was significance differences in WT1expression among different histological subtypes of primary ovarian carcinomas, with serous carcinoma as the most frequent type.

Published: March 2023

Background: LasA protease play a major role in the colonization of the bacteria to the cornea during bacterial keratitis by preventing other bacteria from colonization to the cornea, for example in the mixed infection with S. aureus the enzyme eradicate the bacteria by their lysis it and finally eliminate the competitive for P. aeruginosa bacteria.Objective: To study the role of LasA protease of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the treatment of experimental keratitis caused by S. aureus.Patients and methods: One hundred - twenty clinical samples (corneal scraping) were collected from patients suspected with bacterial keratitis presenting to Ibn Al-Haitham Teaching Hospital from May 2013 until November 2013. The bacterial isolate of P. aeruginosa that harbored LasA gene and capable of production of enzyme was analyzed by Real - time PCR. LasA protease enzyme was extracted by cold centrifugation and purified by gel - filtration chromatography.Results: The results of the experimental treatment of bacterial keratitis (in vivo) of infected rabbits eyes caused by S. aureus has showed that the efficacy of LasA protease was effective as Lysostaphin drug in eradicating the S.aureus from the infected corneas. While Vancomycin drug gave very little potency in the eradicating S. aureus from corneas in comparison with potency of LasA protease and Lysostaphin during this time but showed good potency with very late period ( approximately after 3 days) after application of treatment.Conclusion: The current study revealed that the LasA protease efficacy in the experimental treatment of bacterial keratitis of rabbit’s eye corneas was good and similar to that of Lysostaphin in eradicating S. aureus from corneas of these animals and was higher than that of Vancomycin.

Die Halbzeitwahlen 2022 in den USA: Ein Referendum gegen Trump und das Abtreibungsurteil des Obersten Gerichts
Authors: Horst Patrick
Published: March 2023

Bei den Halbzeitwahlen 2022 in den USA haben die Demokraten besser als erwartet abgeschnitten. Die erwartete „rote Welle“ blieb aus, weil die Amerikaner sich gegen die Kandidaten Trumps und das Abtreibungsurteil des Obersten Gerichts aussprachen. Die Republikaner gewannen die Wahl zum Repräsentantenhaus aufgrund des traditionellen Halbzeiteffektes, der die Partei des Präsidenten bestraft, dennoch knapp. Im Senat konnten die Demokraten ihre Mehrheit um einen Sitz ausbauen; auch die einzelstaatlichen Wahlen und die Volksabstimmungen über das Abtreibungsrecht gewannen sie. Die zwischen Demokraten und Republikanern zukünftig geteilte Regierung lässt für die kommenden zwei Jahre innenpolitisch die Pflege des Erreichten und außenpolitisch Kontinuität erwarten.
Foreign trade in poultry meat of Ukraine in the context of integration processes
Authors: Kryvenko Nadiia
Published: March 2023

Foreign trade is of particular importance for the economic development of agri-food products and for food security. The increase in the export of poultry meat is noticeable. The purpose of the work is to substantiate the prospects of Ukraine’s foreign trade in poultry meat, taking into account production, the situation on the world market, and participation in integration processes. Economic-mathematical, graphic, analysis, etc. methods were used for this purpose. The main suppliers (most of whom are members of the most developed integration groups) and importers have been identified, the share of the latter in the world market is smaller than the former. The trade balance for the main suppliers is mostly positive, but there is an exception for the countries of the European Union, which are significant importers. Trade is developing, as can be seen from the foreign trade turnover. Production is concentrated in Asia, North America, and Europe. The growth of Ukraine’s exports and its entry into the top ten exporters is noticeable. Exports had a positive effect on the increase in production. The largest importers are the countries of Asia and Europe, and African countries are among the buyers. In 2021, meat was exported to about 100 countries, but this is less than its main exporters. Among the groupings and countries with which regional trade agreements have been concluded, the most exported in recent years were to the European Union, Turkey, and Azerbaijan, which indicates competitiveness in these markets. The export market concentration index indicates the diversification of the geographical structure of exports. In the conditions of growing demand for poultry meat, taking into account the quality advantages and consumption by the majority of the population, except for vegetarians, it is worth increasing production and export. This should be facilitated by improving quality, diversifying the geographical structure of exports, taking into account the characteristics of consumers in countries, the production of kosher and halal products, the demand for which is growing, and the growth of the population of countries where it is consumed, especially kosher products. Taking into account the export potential of Ukraine and existing trends, there are prospects for increasing exports. Of practical importance is the determination of export expansion directions, taking into account the characteristics of markets and main competitors, etc.
A Note on Relaxing the Black-Scholes Assumptions Without Changing the Price Formula
Authors: Alghalith Moawia
Published: March 2023

We provide explicit, simple price formulas for the European options under stochastic volatility and stochastic interest rate. The formulas are as simple as the classical Black-Scholes formula. Moreover, the formulas do not require the normality of the returns. We do not need to know the distribution of the returns/price. Furthermore, this approach enables us to avoid the incomplete markets problem. That is, we relax the key assumptions of the classical Black-Scholes model without changing their price formula.

Introducción al Manejo de la Salud de los Peces
Authors: Francis-Floyd Ruth , Campos Krauer Juan Manuel
Published: March 2023

El manejo de la salud de los peces es un término utilizado en acuicultura para describir las prácticas de manejo que están diseñadas para prevenir las enfermedades de los peces. Una vez que los peces se enferman, puede ser difícil salvarlos. El manejo exitoso de la salud de los peces comienza con la prevención de las enfermedades, en lugar de aplicar un tratamiento. La prevención de las enfermedades de los peces se logra mediante un buen control de la calidad del agua, nutrición y saneamiento. Sin esta base, es imposible prevenir brotes de enfermedades que son oportunistas.
El pez está constantemente bañado en patógenos potenciales, incluyendo bacterias, hongos y parásitos. Incluso el uso de tecnología de esterilización (es decir, esterilizadores ultravioletas, ozonización) no eliminan todos los patógenos potenciales del medio ambiente. Una calidad del agua subóptima, una mala nutrición o la supresión del sistema inmunológico generalmente asociado con condiciones estresantes permiten que estos patógenos potenciales causan enfermedades. Los medicamentos utilizados para tratar estas enfermedades son una opción para ganar tiempo y permitir que los peces superen las infecciones oportunistas, pero no sustituye la cría adecuada de los animales.
La observación diaria del comportamiento y la alimentación de los peces permite la detección temprana de problemas cuando ocurren, permite hacer un diagnóstico antes de que la mayoría de la población se enferme. Si un tratamiento es necesario, tendrá más éxito si es implementado temprano en el curso de la enfermedad mientras los peces todavía están en buena forma.
Understanding Multiple Ecosystem Services of Urban Agriculture Across Scales
Authors: Qiu Jiangxiao , Zhao Hui
Published: March 2023

Urban agriculture has gained momentum in global research and policy, and is proposed to combat challenges such as food insecurity, climate change, and social inequality. Here we provide an overview of ecosystem services urban agriculture provides. We found a general agreement that urban agriculture could deliver: (1) food production; (2) microclimate and air quality regulation; (3) stormwater retention; (4) waste management and nutrient recycling; (5) biodiversity conservation; (6) climate regulation and mitigation; (7) energy conservation; and (8) social-cultural values. But quantitative evidence is scarce for many ecosystem services, especially those that are intangible. Urban agriculture could be integral to green infrastructure, included in urban and regional planning, but consideration should also be given to types of urban agriculture, the role of technology and management practices, and potential tradeoffs, risks, and disservices.
Impacts of Roads on Florida’s Threatened and Endangered Wildlife: An Overview
Authors: Rasmussen Megan E. , Andreu Michael G. , Johnson Steven A.
Published: March 2023

Roads impact a disproportionately larger area than the land area that they occupy, often called the road effect zone. This effect extends to wildlife populations. Impacts on federally listed species include habitat loss and fragmentation, road mortality, the barrier effect, and the habituation effect. Per the Endangered Species Act, these impacts must be assessed before roadway impacts occur. This publication provides an overview of the potential impacts to 29 of Florida’s threatened and endangered animal species from roads. Potential mitigation options include road configuration, signage, speed limits, habitat protection, improved technology, wildlife fencing, and wildlife crossing structures. The goal is to educate transportation engineers and planners to allow for sustainable transportation infrastructure growth while protecting, conserving, and ultimately recovering Florida’s threatened and endangered species.

Facts about Wildlife Diseases: Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI)
Authors: Baker Bridget B. , Wisely Samantha
Published: March 2023

Avian influenza is a highly contagious respiratory virus that circulates globally among wild birds. As of July 2022, H5N1 has spread quickly in the United States, killing wild birds in more than 40 states and impacting more than 60 species. While lethal to many bird and some mammal species, the current circulating strain is not particularly infectious in humans.  Nonetheless, basic precautions are still warranted, particularly for those people in contact with wild birds via hunting or the use of backyard bird feeders or baths, as well as people with backyard poultry or pet birds. These basic precautions are detailed.

Authors: Jain Shubh , Sharma Saurabh , Mahajan Dr. S.C. , Maheshwari Prachi , Nagori Mughisa
Published: March 2023

The mouthwashes prepared from the herbal ingredients has shown great potential to overcome the chemical-based preparations. The combination of two or more herbal ingredients to form a polyherbal formulation has become an efficient approach to add value to the basic herbal formulation. In present study, the polyherbal mouthwash has been prepared using the leaves of Psidium guajava (guava), rhizomes of Curcuma longa (turmeric) and flower buds of Syzygium aromaticum (clove). All the three plant materials were collected and separately extracted. Phytochemical screening and quantitative estimation has been performed. The formulation has been prepared by optimization of different concentrations of used active ingredients. All the prepared formulations had undergone evaluation for organoleptic properties, pH and viscosity. The in-vitro antibacterial study has been performed by agar well diffusion method. The bacteria selected for the study were S. aureus, S. mutans and E. coli. The prepared mouthwash shows promising results in terms of zone of inhibition. When compared the prepared mouthwash with the marketed one, it shows greater zone of inhibition due to the synergistic effect produced by the multiple herbs used in the formulation. From the results obtained in this research work, it can be clearly stated that polyherbal mouthwash has become an effective way to improve the efficacy of herbal formulations. The combination of Psidium guajava (guava), Curcuma longa (turmeric) and Syzygium aromaticum (clove) in a mouthwash has shown promising results to improve the chances of usage of polyherbal mouthwash to commercially available chemical-based product.
Rancière e a crise na estrutura democrática contemporânea
Authors: Lucas Luis Felipe Garcia
Published: March 2023

Busca-se, através desta resenha, contextualizar a percepção que o pensador Jacques Rancière tem sobre a estrutura política contemporânea e o conceito de democracia. O texto atenta-se em apresentar a crítica que o autor faz sobre as atuais democracias e o modo que os governos demonstram e defendem suas estruturas. O pensador francês mostra-se enfático ao afirmar que a responsabilidade do afastamento dos entes do meio público é resultado de uma ação dos próprios governos, que, para terem maior liberdade, incentivam as massas a viverem apenas sobre a busca do individual e privado, ação essa que geraria aquilo que Rancière chama de ódio à democracia.

Published: March 2023

Os manipuladores são vias de potencial contaminação dos alimentos, sendo suas mãos o principal canal. Comportamentos inadequados podem resultar em contaminação ou caso de doença transmitida por alimentos. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar o conhecimento em higiene das mãos e o perfil microbiológico das mãos de nove (9) manipuladores de alimentos das lanchonetes de um campus universitário de Goiânia. Um questionário composto de 15 questões foi aplicado, e, logo em seguida, realizou-se a coleta de amostras biológicas de suas mãos por método swab. Essas amostras foram submetidas a análises para observar as condições higiênico-sanitárias e microbiológicas por meio da contagem de micro-organismos. O método de plaqueamento spreader plate em meio de cultura ágar manitol salgado foi utilizado na análise de Staphylococcus aureus. Para as enterobactérias, foi utilizado o mesmo método em meio de cultura ágar EMB (Eosina Methil Blue). A contagem foi realizada segundo o método pour plate. A maioria (87%) dos participantes relatou não terem participado de capacitação, no entanto, os resultados do questionário mostraram que os manipuladores têm alguma noção e conhecimento da importância da higiene pessoal e da higiene das mãos. Nos resultados microbiológicos das amostras, foi apresentada uma condição higiênica insatisfatória das mãos. Há necessidade de se conscientizar e capacitar periodicamente tanto os manipuladores quanto os responsáveis, tendo, assim, o intuito de melhorar o comportamento e, consequentemente, o perfil microbiológico dos manipuladores, sendo, então, uma forma de prevenção de doenças transmitidas por alimentos.

Published: March 2023

This article describes how parking search times and occupancy in a highly attractive area in central Zurich (Switzerland) develop on a weekday morning when a farmer’s market takes place on Bürkliplatz, a central market place inside the study area. Individual vehicles were tracked by bike, drivers were interviewed about their parking behaviour and their route was tracked using GPS. Additionally, the parking occupancy was registered every fifteen minutes during a five-hour time period. A connection between market opening hours and parking dynamics within the perimeter was observed. Drivers usually overestimate their parking search duration.

Authors: Rababah Khalid , Mohd Haslina , Hj. Ibrahim Huda
Published: March 2023

The aim of this study was to identify the factors that might influence perception about the benefits of a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, and the direction of this influence in private hospitals in Malaysia. Three factors (innovation, organizational, and environmental factors) were identified as influencing perception about the benefits of a CRM system. The study deployed a quantitative research approach, using a questionnaire to collect data. Private hospitals in the northern part of Malaysia were selected using the area sampling method and convenience sampling, and the management of the hospitals became the target respondents. For the survey, the research questionnaire was distributed to the sample of the study and each respondent was given a month to complete the questionnaire. The collected data was analyzed using Backward Multiple Regression Analysis. The results revealed that innovation and environmental factors had a positive significant relationship on perception, while the organizational factor had a significant negative relationship. The results are expected to help the decision makers of hospitals to better plan for the adoption and implementation of CRM systems. In addition, it will benefit the vendors of CRM systems toward a better understanding of the needs of hospitals to be able to expand their market in the healthcare industry.

Authors: Md. Rejab Mawarny , Omar Mazni , Ahmad Mazida , Ahmad Khairul Bariah
Published: March 2023

Pair programming practice has been widely used as a pedagogical approach in educational setting specifically in the programming course. Most pair programming studies agree that this practice can foster knowledge sharing among students. However, the studies do not highlight knowledge internationalization during pair programming practice. Therefore, this paper will discuss knowledge internalization based on tacit knowledge that occurs from knowledge sharing activities in pair programming practices. This is achieved by employing the process of Socialization, Externalization, Combination, and Internalization (SECI) in the form of learning, thinking and decision-making skills among the students. 119 participants were actively engaged in the pair programming practice in this study. The participants were required to answer questionnaires, which were adapted from the SECI model to suit the educational context. Statistical t-test was used to analyse the data. The results showed that pair programming was able to promote knowledge internationalization in the thinking process. This study contributes to a better understanding of important knowledge sharing activities to construct studentâ€™s skills during the internalization process through pair programming. Future works will be focused into a rigorous theoretical framework for constructing tacit knowledge among the students in pair programming environment.

Authors: Hoong Ng Keng , Khor Kok-Chin
Published: March 2023

Building a stock portfolio often requires extensive financial knowledge and Herculean efforts looking at the amount of financial data to analyse. In this study, we utilized Expectation Maximization (EM), K-Means (KM), and Hierarchical Clustering (HC) algorithms to cluster the 38 plantation stocks listed on Bursa Malaysia using 14 financial ratios derived from the fundamental analysis. The clustering allows investors to profile each resulted cluster statistically and assists them in selecting stocks for their stock portfolios rapidly. The performance of each cluster was then assessed using 1-year stock price movement. The result showed that a cluster resulted from EM had a better profile and obtained a higher average capital gain as compared with the other clusters.

Authors: Ali Azlina , Nor Rozi Nor Haizan , Abdullah Rusli , Azmi Murad Masrah Azrifah
Published: March 2023

Nowadays most of the public sector organisations are implementing a knowledge management system (KMS) to assist the systematic creation and sharing of their knowledge resources. The recent technological needs, collaboration and cooperation among public sector organisations (PSO) serve a vital role in the development of knowledge management systems (KMS). However, in order to establish a successful and standardised collaborative KMS amongst Malaysian PSO (MPSO), proper governance needs to be in place. The aim of this study is to identify governance components for collaborative KMS (CKMS). Accordingly, the journal articles published within the period 1998-2013 were identified and analysed. The articles were sourced mainly from Knowledge Management Research & Practice, Science Direct, Emerald, MIS Quarterly, as well as from some other academic databases. Keywords used during the literature search were â€œgovernanceâ€, â€œknowledge management systemâ€, â€œcollaborationâ€, â€œcollaborative knowledge management systemâ€, â€œknowledge sharingâ€ and â€œknowledge management governanceâ€. Moreover, expert opinion from the public sector expert teams and academic experts was also acquired from several consultation sessions to ensure that the components obtained from the readings meet the requirements of KMS collaborations. Based on the analysis and consultation, a conceptual model for governance of CKMS is constructed.
