The stage of adolescence is the stage in which the young person’s life is affected by physiological factors influencing their activity and their personality clearly. The characteristics of adolescence differ because of many factors, including individual genetics, climate and nature. Physical growth at this stage is characterized by speed with imbalance where the body grows very quickly and inconsistently. This stage is characterized by the change in the growth of height and weight, and the effect of this is reflected in the breadth of the shoulders and the chest, the length of the trunk, the circumference of the buttocks and the length of the legs, and the physical growth reaches its maximum speed at the age of 12 years for girls and the 14 years for boys. Material and methods. This study includes the age group 12-15 of the school’s students. The study was conducted on a sample of about 70 pupils who were randomly selected, 32 of whom were girls and 38 boys from the total sample of the school’s total number of 355 students. We used anthropometric measurements through which we extracted the percentage of body masses as well as determined body patterns. In order to determine the effect of feeding, we monitored the nutritional behavior of the research sample for a month and recorded the contents of the meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner for the last day plus other random times). Results and discussion. The study showed that muscle mass was proportional to its eating behavior. Muscle mass is the predominant sample for both sexes. Its percentage is the highest among other ratios, as it was confined between 42.25% and 56.03%, followed by bone mass by 20.53% and 25.19%, and finally fat mass by 8.29% and 11.01%, respectively. The results showed that the amounts of substances rich in carbohydrates were those that govern the daily diet. The average meal during a month was estimated at 84.75% through eating large quantities of bread, couscous and pasta. Both height and weight were in direct proportion to age, and by tracking the growth path from the age of 06 to 15 years, the proportion of both cholesterol and triglycerides were proportional. With the mass ratio, the cholesterol ratio in the blood was estimated to be between [1.09-1.58] g / l, and the triglyceride ratio was between [0.78-1.02] g /l. Conclusion. Having analyzed and discussed the results, and similar studies, we concluded that muscle mass was the dominant one for the research sample on the bone and fat masses

Published: October 2020

Takaful operators are expected by the policyholders to act beyond the role of traditional insurance companies that only offer Shariah-compliant protection services. They are expected to be commercially viable. One of the ways to be commercially viable is takaful operators must be able to invest the policyholders' funds in the profitable investment avenues. Nevertheless, the critical issue before investing the funds is to develop products that are suitable with the takaful operators' investment strategy. This study employed a questionnaire survey to gather the feedback of fund managers from 11 takaful operators in Malaysia — all were the senior staffs of takaful operators in Malaysia were surveyed. The questionnaire is developed in the form of a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5 as the research instrument. By Delphi technique, the draft of the questionnaire was sent to a panel of experts for review, was adopted, and their feedback reflected in the final questionnaire. The experts were a shariah advisor, a corporate finance manager, and a senior executive at the central bank. Findings indicate that policyholders' expectations on their investments are met and the products so far compatible with takaful operators' investment strategies.

Authors: Tallar Robby Yussac , . Ivan
Published: October 2020

Permasalahan penggerusan lokal yang terjadi di bagian hilir bendung merupakan fenomena nyata yang dihadapi suatu kontruksi bendung dan harus dicarikan solusinya. Berbagai upaya untuk mengurangi permasalahan penggerusan lokal telah diteliti dan dilakukan. Penyebab utama dari fenomena penggerusan lokal adalah akibat adanya perbedaan elevasi muka air antara hulu dan hilir dari suatu bendung, maka terjadi loncatan air yang mengakibatkan penggerusan lokal pada   hilir bendung. Kolam olak adalah bagian dari konstruksi suatu bendung yang berfungi untuk mengurangi penggerusan lokal dengan cara meredam energi aliran air namun dalam kenyataannya masih kurang maksimal mengatasi penggerusan lokal yang terjadi. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memodifikasi kolam olak dengan pemberian blok-halang sehingga diketahui pengaruh atau efektivitas dari blok-halang tersebut terhadap penggerusan lokal yang terjadi pada hilir bendung. Studi eksperimental dilakukan dengan menggunakan model fisik dua dimensi pada jenis bending tetap tipe gergaji dua gigi. Debit aliran yang digunakan dalam adalah 25%Qmax, 50%Qmax dan 100%Qmax. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dengan menggunakan blok-halang dengan dimensi 4cm x 4cm dengan ketinggian 6cm serta jarak antar blok-halang yaitu 4cm dan jarak blok-halang ke ambang hilir yaitu 14,4cm pada lantai kolam olak bendung gergaji dua gigi dapat mengurangi kedalaman dan luas penggerusan lokal yang terjadi pada hilir bendung. Saran untuk penelitian kedepannya adalah penggunaan riprap sebagai material tambahan pada bagian hilir bendung.
How can organizations effectively use appraisal systems to retain knowledge workers? A systematic review of the literature.
Authors: Onyeaku John
Published: October 2020

Organizations have long struggled with appropriate interventions to mitigate knowledge worker turnover. Because of their unique skills, knowledge workers have a considerably higher rate of turnover than traditional workers, and they are expensive to replace. Organizations use performance appraisal systems to identify and retain critical employees. Knowledge workers enable organizations to remain creative and innovative as well as maintain their competitive edge. The purpose of this study was to use systematic review of extant literature to show how organizations can effectively use performance appraisal systems to improve the retention of knowledge workers. This was done by gathering evidence on performance appraisal systems and knowledge workers from various databases and conducting a rigorous synthesis of available evidence.
The efficacy of appraisal systems in mitigating knowledge worker churn was viewed through the lens of expectancy theory and a conceptual framework was developed. Expectancy theory focuses on an individual’s belief that they can obtain desired outcomes if they exert certain effort. Knowledge workers want to be challenged and evaluated based on objective criteria. A thematic analysis of the evidence revealed important themes for management practice: identify and segment knowledge workers, ensure a positive perception of the appraisal system via ‘voice’ inclusion, and deploy competent job evaluators for accurate performance evaluation. This is the first known systematic review of the literature which focuses on the competence of the appraiser as an important influence on knowledge workers’ reaction to appraisal outcome and how this impacts intention to quit.

Authors: Mirza Faizan , Fazal Amaila , Shabbir Khadija , Farooq Hafsa , Ahmed Sadaf
Published: October 2020

Background: Cortisol has a positive correlation with Obesity, which indicates a relation between obesity and cortisol. Furthermore, there are increased chances of demolished muscle strength up to two times with elevated levels of cortisol. Thus, the aim of the study was to assess the impact of increased cortisol levels on the grip strength and to determine that the grip strength is a possible indicator for accelerated biological ageing.

Methodology: This cross-sectional, purposive sampling study was conducted in Karachi, Pakistan. Overall 412 were recruited to participate in the study, the data for age, gender, BMI, grip strength, and cortisol was collected from the participants. The age-wise correlates of hand grip strength were assessed using Multiple linear regression analysis and the mean decline in the grip strength with advancing age is displayed.

Results: The mean Grip strength of the overall population was 30.75±14.35. It was observed that there was a negative significant correlation between the age and the grip strength (F = 3.57; r= -0.27; p=0.007) i.e. with increasing age a gradual decrease in the grip strength was observed. BMI (Obesity) was also significantly associated with grip strength (p=0.000). Moreover, females were more likely to have weak muscle strength as compared to males (p=0.000). However, no significant association was observed among the grip strength, socioeconomic status & longevity in any of the studied age groups (p>0.05). While a significant correlation was found between Grip strength and Obesity as well as between Obesity and Cortisol.

Conclusion: Thus it can be concluded that obese individuals had increased chances of accelerated biological ageing due to an increase in cortisol, and a weakened grip strength is an indicator of it.

The beginnings of English studies at the University of Iaşi
Authors:   Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iaşi, Romania, Doboş Daniela
Published: October 2020

‘A Hundred Years of Romania’ represents an opportunity to remember, among many other momentous events of the past century, the establishment of English studies at the Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iaşi, the oldest higher education institution in Romania, inaugurated in October of 1860, one year after the establishment of the Romanian state. Before the establishment of the first English chair in 1925 as an outcome of the unprecedented socio-political development in Romania following the First World War, however, the Romanian literary journals in Iaşi had already been publishing articles and reviews aiming to acquaint Romanian readers with an unfamiliar English culture. Research on the study of English in Romania is scarce and there is controversy as to when and where English was first introduced in the Romanian university curriculum – some researchers suggest 1917 or 1918 at the University of Iaşi. This paper explores the historical context of the inception of institutionalized English studies at the University of Iaşi and the seminal contribution of Iancu Botez, one of the founders of the journal Viaţa Românească, who taught English at Liceul Naţional before he became the first tenured university professor. The ups and downs of English studies in Moldavia and Romania in general are a relevant topic not only from a historical viewpoint but also from the present perspective where Romania has a poor public image.
Interpreting poetry for teaching about style
Authors:   Transilvania University of Brașov, Romania, Ene Ana
Published: October 2020

This paper investigates a series of problems which may appear in the process of literary text interpretation, especially texts belonging to the lyric poetry genre, in view of teaching certain stylistic analysis techniques at the university level. Teaching in practice shows that one of the major difficulties that undergraduates can face in their stylistic approach to such a text consists in the correct decoding of its theme and message. The main objective of this paper is therefore to examine and interpret the external form of the analysed text meant to lead to its internal form. A configuration of the perimeter of this investigation involves certain methodological aspects belonging to the field of linguistic stylistics and, partially, to the domains of pragmatics and general semiotics. Implicitly, the analytical instruments to be used are selected from those specific to the aforementioned domains. The demonstrative analysis is applied to two modern Romanian poems, selected according to the following principle: the texts must contain enough aspects to create difficulties in reception and which require various stylistic approaches.
A LINGUISTIC APPROACH TO DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMEN IN STATE LAWS: THE IRISH CASE
Authors:   Transilvania University, Braşov, Romania, Vâlcea Cristina Silvia
Published: October 2020

If modernity has provided a number of incredible technical advancements in the domain of gender and social gender representation, they have not succeeded in taking down all the barriers against the rigid social and familial representations of the roles of men and women and, respectively, of husbands and wives. In most societies women are assigned inferior positions, not only in work-related contexts, but also in family contexts. Whether educated or professional, modern women confront stigmata similar to those in the Inquisition, which proves that age-old beliefs stubbornly persist or, worse, are intentionally maintained. One particular issue concerns the right to an abortion. Outside of the moral implications, which will not be discussed here, certain states criminalise abortion within their legal systems. This paper refers to the special case of Ireland that issued in 2013 a law which forbade women to have abortion unless a medical condition would endanger mother or child’s safety. It provides a linguistic analysis of the ‘Protection of Life during Pregnancy Bill 2013’ issued by the Irish Parliament and signed by the president of the Irish Republic. This study highlights the stand of the lawmakers, the vocabulary they use in referring to mother and foetus, the manner in which the interdictions are expressed, the modal verbs used and the implications of their use, the voice of the verbs and the techniques of backgrounding and foregrounding. All these elements provide precious data as to how women are told by the Irish State what to do with their bodies.
EXAMINING INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCIES AMONG BOSNIAN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
Authors:   International Burch University, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bećirović Senad , Delić Belma , Brdarević-Čeljo Amna
Published: October 2020

A period of globalisation and the interconnectedness of people across the world has increased the demand for greater intercultural competences among young people in particular. Being interculturally competent entails modifying behaviour in culturally appropriate ways when establishing contact with diverse cultures. The development of this competence is a long and never-ending process that which is influenced by a variety of factors, some of the most important being school policies, surroundings, individual work, personal needs and curiosity. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the impact of grade level, grade point average (GPA) and gender on intercultural competences by distributing the questionnaire developed by Portalla and Chen (2010) to 211 Bosnian high school students. The results showed that the students’ grade levels and GPAs did not have a statistically significant influence on their intercultural competences, whereas gender only had a significant impact on their intercultural competences on the Interactant Respect subscale. Due to the fact that the students should be taught intercultural competence at school, their competence is expected to improve in each study grade; thus, based on the students’ GPAs, this study may help teachers to identify a gap in their instruction and to modify their teaching content so that it contributes to the development of the students’ intercultural competence, as well as to the promotion of the importance thereof.

Published: October 2020

Mortality is still high among children with severe acute malnutrition who require hospitalization. This study investigated the factors independently related to the mortality among hospitalized children with severe acute malnutrition. A cross-sectional study was conducted in a single tertiary referral hospital in Bali, Indonesia from January 2017 to December 2018. A logistic regression test was used to analyze the factors independently related to mortality. Significantly differences were considered if P-value less than 0.05. A total of 138 children with severe acute malnutrition was fulfilled the study criteria, 83 children (60.1%) were male, 79 children (57.2%) were a toddler and 133 children (96.4%) were classified as marasmus. The mortality was found in 60 children (43.4%). On multivariate logistic regression analysis found anemia (aOR 8.6, 95%CI: 2.4 to 30.5, P = 0.001) and metabolic acidosis (aOR 3.4, 95%CI: 1.3 to 9.1, P = 0.01) were statistically significant. It can be concluded that the mortality rate among children with severe acute malnutrition is still high and anemia as well as metabolic acidosis are factors independently related to this mortality.

La escritura del duelo
Authors: Díaz Faciolince Victoria
Published: October 2020

La muerte de un ser amado provoca un profundo dolor asociado con la ruptura del vínculo y enfrenta al superviviente al trabajo psíquico del duelo; cuando esta sucede súbita o violentamente, o cuando fractura las leyes supuestas de la vida, al proceso del duelo se suman los efectos de la disrupción. Como respuesta ante la muerte, las personas de todas las épocas han recurrido a estrategias de diversa índole —entre ellas, los rituales y la escritura— con las que intentan organizar la experiencia y reconstruir la vida que se ha fracturado. Con este marco, La escritura del duelo estudia las memorias de duelo, una forma específica de escribir sobre la muerte, e indaga dos asuntos básicos: la función que cumple la escritura en los procesos de duelo y los sentidos de la experiencia de la pérdida que se despliegan en algunos de estos relatos autobiográficos. Plantea que son narraciones por medio de las cuales el autor enfrenta los trabajos de la memoria y del duelo al traer al presente el recuerdo del ser querido y reconfigurar su imagen, al tiempo que repasa la historia del vínculo y trata de darle sentido a su pérdida. De esta manera, la escritura le ayuda a reordenar su vida, a transformar el lazo con el ser amado muerto y a consolidar su recuerdo en el ámbito de la memoria.
Beliefs of preschool teacher candidates about the nature of science
Authors:   Faculty of Education, Dokuz Eylül University, Turkey, Özyılmaz Güzin
Published: October 2020

The aim of science education is to enable children to become “science-literate.” Science literacy is defined as taking responsibility for and making decisions about situations requiring scientific understanding and having sufficient knowledge, skills, attitudes and understanding of values to put their decisions into practice. Revealing teachers’ beliefs can help to understand the types of experiences presented by teachers in their classrooms. Inadequate understandings and misbeliefs of teachers shape the first perceptions of children about the NOS when they are formally introduced with science education in their early childhood. Most of the studies were also performed with science teachers and there have been few studies conducted with preschool teachers. Therefore, the present study was directed towards determining NOS beliefs of preschool teacher candidates. To achieve this aim, Nature of Science Beliefs Scale (NOSBS), developed by Özcan and Turgut (2014), was administered to the preschool teacher candidates studying in Preschool Education Department of Buca Education Faculty at Dokuz Eylül University in the spring semester of the 2018-2019 academic year. In the study, the NOS beliefs of the teacher candidates were found to be acceptable in general. While the findings of this study are consistent with those revealed in several relevant studies in the literature
El armonioso imaginario andino de Edgardo Rivera Martínez
Authors: Márquez Ismael P.
Published: October 2020

La obra de Edgardo Rivera Martínez se imbrica con la del Inca Garcilaso de la Vega en un ejercicio intertextual que va más allá de un simple caso de influencia. En realidad, existe una estrecha correlación entre la de ambos. La crítica literaria coincide en señalar que la escritura de Rivera Martínez se da en la confluencia de dos vertientes: la occidental y la andina en un proceso de mestizaje insólito por su optimismo. Pero al igual que el Inca, en su obra también aflora la armonía de las formas e ideas del clasicismo, la idealización de la naturaleza, y la exaltación del humanismo propias del Renacimiento. Es la lírica exaltación de la armonía inherente del ámbito andino la actitud que informa el imaginario de nuestro autor, actitud que dará cabida a otras y diversas manifestaciones culturales.
Lo arcaico y lo moderno en La utopía arcaica de Mario Vargas Llosa
Authors: López Maguiña Santiago
Published: October 2020

En este artículo se demuestra que el contraste entre lo arcaico y lo modernoen la cultura andina no es presentado por Vargas Llosa solo comouna oposición entre dos tipos de racionalidad, la mítica vs la científica,sino entre dos modos de aproximación a la realidad disimétricos, queno poseen términos de comparación y que, por tanto, serían tanto ininteligiblesentre sí, como incompatibles. Pero la incomprensión es másacusada desde el lado indígena, que desde el lado criollo, integrado a lavida moderna y a la cultura occidental. Desde la orilla de lo moderno sepuede acceder a la captación de lo arcaico, mientras que desde la bandaandina es imposible alcanzar el otro borde.
Study on Socio-Economic Profile of Millet Consumers in Jodhpur District of Rajasthan and Chitradurga Districts of Karnataka, India
Authors: Das Bhagirath
Published: October 2020

Millets are highly nutritious food and are widely cultivated in India since long. But from last few decades land under cultivation of millets is decreasing due to decrease in demand. Owning to its nutritional and health benefits the demands of millets are now increasing among urban consumers. To understand the socio-economic profile of millet consumers a study was undertaken in Jodhpur district of Rajasthan and Chitradurga district of Karnataka. It was found that most of the urban families were nuclear families, in contrast, most of the rural families were joint families. Most of the millet rural consumers in Jodhpur were medium and semi-medium farmers, whereas in Chitradurga most of the farmers were small and marginal farmers. In terms of educational qualification,most of the rural consumers in both the districts (32.5 per cent) had completed primary level of education and most of the consumers in urban areas (45 per cent) had completed secondary level of education.
Analysis of inheritance mechanisms in animate nature and engineering
Authors: Krechetov Andrey , Blyumenstein Valeriy , Zakonnova Ludmila
Published: October 2020

The evolution of ideas on inheritance is analyzed and basic types of inheritance in animate nature are presented. Reasoning from the analysis of terms adopted in genetics and engineering technique there is carried out the analysis of inheritance mechanisms at machining and machinery operation. There is shown the evolution of ideas on hereditary information: first the part manufactured the accuracy dimensions of which were “copied” (inherited) in the course of engineering procedure; further – a thin surface layer formed during the engineering process and within the frames of the scientific investigation carried out – material of the deformation source where a plastic metal flow takes place. An analysis is carried out and the directions of the development of scientific investigations in the field of technological inheritance are presented.
PUBLIC SERVICES IN HUMAN RIGHTS PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Syafrida Syafrida , Marbun M.T
Published: October 2020

Public services can be provided by the government or by the private sector in the form of goods, services, and public administration that can be used to meet the needs and interests of the community. The implementation of available services by administrators does not rule out human rights violations. One of the characteristics of the rule of law is respect for human rights. The most basic human rights given by the Powerful are obliged to be recognized, respected by everyone. However, the reality is that in the implementation of public services, there is a possibility that actions that violate human rights may occur. Formulation of how public servants from the perspective of human rights and efforts to prevent violations of human rights in available services. The purpose of writing is to find out public services from a human rights perspective. The method used in this research is literature research using secondary data in the form of primary legal materials, secondary standard materials, and traditional tertiary materials. The analysis is normatively supported by empirical research and qualitative research types. In conclusion, public services must heed human rights. To prevent human rights violations in available services, organizers must act based on statutory regulations, discretion, and general principles of good government (Good Governance).Keywords: public service, human rights

In-vivo studies on the motoric activity of the receptacular complex in females of the black field cricket (Orthoptera: Gryllidae)
Authors: Sturm Robert
Published: October 2020

Motoric activity of the receptacular complex situated in the caudal part of the female abdomen was studied in detail for the black field cricket, Teleogryllus commodus (Walker, 1869). By application of the previously introduced window method the number of peristaltic organ contractions
per minute was counted, whereby four experimental series (virgins, mated females, ovipositing females, post-oviposition animals) were defined, with the number of examined crickets amounting to 20, respectively. According to the results obtained from experimental work, highest activity of the
receptacular complex can be attested for females standing in the oviposition phase (26.35 ± 4.99 contractions per minute), whereas post-oviposition females are characterized by lowest activity (13.95 ± 3.90 contractions per minute). Except for virgins, where the number of peristaltic
contractions increases with age, no significant correlation between motoric activity of the receptacular complex and adult age could be found. It is argued that in-vivo motoric activity of the receptaculum seminis and the ductus receptaculi is associated with the female fecundity cycle reaching
its peak at the 10th day of the adult life stage.

Published: October 2020

This paper is devoted to the study of the existence and interval of existence, uniqueness of solutions and estimates on solutions of the nonlocal Cauchy problem for nonlinear fractional differential equations involving a Caputo type fractional derivative with respect to another function $\psi$. Further, we prove four different types of Ulam stability results of solutions for a given problem. The tools used in this article are the classical technique of Banach fixed point theorem and generalized Gronwall inequality. At the end, illustrative examples are presented.
Existence of weak solutions for a nonlinear parabolic equations by Topological degree
Authors: AIT HAMMOU Mustapha , AZROUL Elhoussine
Published: October 2020

We study the nonlinear parabolic initial boundary value problem associated to the equation
ut − diva(x, t, u, grad u) = f(x, t),
where the terme − diva(x, t, u, grad u) is a Leray-Lions operator, The right-hand side f is assumed to belong to L^q(Q).
We prove the existence of a weak solution for this problem by using the Topological degree theory for operators of the form L + S, where L is a linear densely defined maximal monotone map and S is a bounded demicontinuous map of class (S+) with respect to the domain of L.
