Authors: ÖZTÜRK Sezer , AKGÜL Kayahan , SARI Ali
Published: June 2021

Bu çalışmada, küresel tanklar için zaman tanım alanında doğrusal olmayan analizler gerçekleştirilerek elde edilen sonuçlar ile geçmiş depremlerde gözlemlenen hasar verileri birleştirilerek kırılganlık eğrileri oluşturulmuştur. Ayrıca yatay silindirik tankların hasar verileri de derlenmiştir. Bu araştırmalar sonucunda küresel ve yatay silindirik basınçlı tanklar ile ilgili geçmiş depremlerden elde edilen gözleme dayalı hasar verilerinin atmosferik silindirik tanklara göre oldukça az sayıda olduğu görülmüştür. Bu sebeple özellikle küresel tanklar için veriler sayısal çalışmalarla desteklenmiş, gerçekleştirilen sayısal analizler sonucunda küresel tanklarda genel olarak çapraz elemanlarda gerilme yığılmalarının meydana geldiği ve bu elemanların kolonlarla bağlantı noktalarından koptukları gözlenmiştir. Analizlerden elde edilen hasar verilerinin de mevcut verilere eklenmesiyle küresel tanklar için geçerli kırılganlık eğrileri oluşturulmuştur. Yer hareketi şiddet ölçütü ile küresel tanklarda olası depremlerde meydana gelebilecek hasarların gerçekleşme olasılığı değerleri arasındaki bağlantının sunulduğu kırılganlık eğrilerinin gelecek çalışmaların geliştirilmesinde olumlu etkisinin olacağı düşünülmektedir.

Exploring the role of a Google Group in enabling lesson resource sharing in a South African geography teachers’ professional learning community
Authors: Goldschagg Paul , Wilmot Di
Published: June 2021

This article presents the findings of the initial phase of an ongoing exploratory study that responds to a national imperative, to create teacher-initiated professional learning communities (PLCs), to improve the professionalism and capabilities of South African teachers. The overarching goal of the study is to understand how an emergent PLC in the form of an online Google Group for South African geography educators may enhance geography education and teacher professional development. The contributions made to the Southern African Geography Teachers Network Google Group over a six-month period were analysed and categorized according to themes and topics in the Grade 10, 11 and 12 Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) curriculum. The findings, in shedding as they do, light on the curriculum sections receiving the most and least contributions, raise more questions than they provide answers. Areas requiring further research are identified. Our main contention is that the emergent PLC enabled through the Google Group offers exciting possibilities for teacher professional learning. As a bottom-up, online, easily accessible initiative, unrestricted by time or place constraints and with a growing membership, it may play an important role in enhancing the quality of teaching and learning in South African school geography.
Alternative Non-Economic Measures of CDFI Lending Impact: An Exploratory Analysis
Authors: McCall Jamie , Sabatelle Jason
Published: June 2021

CDFI impacts are overwhelmingly viewed through an economic lens. Little consideration is given to other types of metrics. Yet we believe a positive economic impact is a necessary but not sufficient condition to being an effective development institution. We assess the relationship between a CDFI's lending activities and aggregate social capital levels. Social capital – the entrepreneurial networks which occur when small businesses flourish – are a key non-economic outcome of CDIF financing and technical assistance interventions.

Published: June 2021

This study was carried out to assess potential heavy metal contamination in the muscles of three commonly consumed fish species in Lake Lanao and to determine associated health risks that may endanger local community residents who consume these fishes. The concentrations of Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr), Mercury (Hg) and Lead (Pb) were assessed in the muscles of Glossogobius giurus, Oreochromis niloticus and Giuris margaritacea and were measured via atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Statistical analysis showed that heavy metal concentrations in the muscles of the three fish species collected from the two different locations in the lake are not significantly different (P>0.05) except for O. niloticus. Recorded amounts of the five heavy metals in the present study were lower than the maximum and standard levels except for Pb. Four (As, Cd, Cr, and Hg) among the five pollutants of concern obtained Non-carcinogenic Hazard Quotient (NHQ) values that are less than one, while NHQ values for Pb range between 815.6 and 1396.03 for all fish samples obtained from both sampling stations. The continued consumption of G. giuris, O. niloticus and G. margaritacea collected from Marawi City and Tugaya, Lanao del Sur posed a high likelihood for local residents to contract adverse non-carcinogenic impacts, specifically by Pb. This does not necessarily hold true for the whole of Lake Lanao however, due to limitations related to representativeness. Steps should be taken to manage the risks posed by the consumption of G. giuris, O. niloticus, and G. margaritacea from Marawi City and Tugaya, Lanao del Sur, especially in consideration of vulnerable groups such as children, pregnant women and their developing fetus, and people with existing health conditions.
Dark Triad, Risk Taking and Counterproductive Work Behavior in Different Organizational Contexts
Authors: Stoica Ana Alexandra
Published: June 2021

The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between Dark Triad of Personality, risk-taking and counterproductive work behaviort. The study involved 200 people aged between 18 and 51 years, M = 27.69, SD = 9.83, of which 35 are males (17.5%) and 165 are females (82.5%). The instruments used were The Dirty Dozen: A Concise Measure of the Dark Triad (Jonason & Webster, 2010), Counterproductive Work Behavior Checklist - CWBC (Spector, Bauer & Fox, 2010) and RISK-TAKING [JPI: Risk Taking [Rkt] (Goldberg et. al, 2006). The results showed that people who work in non-profit organizations (volunteers), those who have a low seniority in work or who hold a leadership position tend to take more risks than others. Low seniority at work also correlates with counterproductive behaviors. In contrast, no significant difference was observed as far as the other two demographic characteristics are concerned. Moreover, the results show that Machiavellianism is responsible for 16% of the variation of counterproductive work behavior, and risk-taking mediates this relatonship. Narcissism and psychopathy are responsible for 10% and 13% respectively of the variation of this behavior, the mediation percentage of risk taking being 19.2% concerning the first one and 22.4% concerning psychopathy. Given these results, the study can be useful in the organizational field, providing employers with more data that they can take into account when recruiting staff. It can also be helpful when it comes to better employee management, as well as a deeper understanding behind counterproductive behaviors, thus leading more easily to diminishing them.
Determinants of work-family conflict in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Sedaroglu Meryem
Published: June 2021

In this paper, we want to investigate some determinants of work-family conflict. Factors related to job (job insecurity, job demands and resources, type of job, salary level, time spent at work, working conditions in the pandemic) and aspects such as fear of COVID-19 will be explored. The present study involved 301 people, aged between 18 and 65 years, M = 40.10, AS = 8.25. The instruments used were Work and Family Conflict Scale (Haslam et al., 2015), Job Insecurity Scale (De witte et al., 2000, 2010), The Job Demands-Resources Questionnaire (Bakker et al., 2014) and The Fear of COVID-19 Scale (Ahorsu et al., 2020). The results indicated that both job insecurity and workplace pressure are positive predictors of the work-family conflict, while autonomy is a negative predictor. Also, the moderating effect of fear of COVID-19 on the relationship between job insecurity and work-family conflict was analyzed, but it proved to be statistically insignificant. However, it was found that employees working from home during this period have a higher level of work-family conflict. Based on these results, work-family conflict management strategies can be developed, both individually and by organizations.
The role of cognitive schemas in the relationship between attachment style and emotional intelligence
Authors: Scarlat Elena Morena
Published: June 2021

The current study focuses on the idea that the relationship between attachment styles and emotional intelligence can be influenced by cognitive schemas. It is well known that the first interaction between the child and his mother lays the foundations of attachment. The extent to which it develops guides the individual throughout his life making him responsible for his own actions and decisions. In this way studying the three variables becomes the main objective of the study. The data were collected on an online form, using the snowball method by which subjects were able to share the questionnaire to acquaintances to gather a larger number of people. The study was attended by 281 people aged between 18 to 40 years, M = 21.98, SD = 4.10, of which, 52 were males (18.50%) and 229 females (81.50%), 134 were single (47.69%) and 147 were in a relationship (52.31%), 48 people come from single-parent families (17.08%) and 233 come from two-parent families (82.92%). The results were as expected, secure attachment constitutes a significant positive predictor of emotional intelligence while the anxious attachment was a significant negative predictor of emotional intelligence. The results also showed that avoidant attachment would be a significant positive predictor of emotional intelligence. Following the results it was observed that there is a mediation between cognitive schema and the relationship between attachment styles and emotional intelligence. The secure attachment style was significantly negatively associated with all three types of schemas as expected.

Authors: Sterlikov AV , Kurilenko YuV , Voronkov AA
Published: June 2021

External quality control in the form of interlaboratory comparisons (ILCs) is an important criterion of the testing laboratory competence. The study was aimed to summarize the approaches to developing objects for proficiency testing (OPT) based on physical simulation of acoustic noise sources, airborne ultrasound, vibration, and the practice of their use for ILC. Analysis of the OPT effectiveness based on physical simulation of factors, the test benches (TBs), was performed based on their testing and certification results, as well as on the results of appropriate ILCs. The results of using TB as OPT are considered for the following factors: acoustic noise, airborne ultrasound, and vibration. When measuring acoustic noise, TB played back the acoustic noise record with high stability. ILC involving measurement of airborne ultrasound was performed the same way, however, the frequency of the acoustic signal being reproduced was in the range of 11–22 kHz. TBs, based on a manual mechanized tool and a platform equipped with electromechanical agitator, were developed for ILC involving the measurement of local and general vibration. Stability of vibration generated was provided by means of the automated system for maintaining the set level with feedback and proportional integral derivative (PID) controller. When arranging and performing ILCs involving measurement of noise and vibration, a crucial role is played by the methods developed specifically for ILCs, allowing one to take into account all the conditions that affect the measurement results.

Authors:   Junior Resident, Department of Pathology, Government Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India, K. R. Dr. Vishnu.
Published: June 2021

Epithelioid hemangioendotheliomas are rare neoplasms involving any sites including soft tissue, lung, liver, kidney, etc. and many more. A multifocal hemangioendothelioma is extremely rare, and it can very well be mistaken as angiosarcoma with metastasis. Here, we describe a case of multifocal hemangioendothelioma which radiologically appeared like multiple metastatic lesions in paraspinal muscle, liver, kidney, adrenal, lung and gluteus muscle arising from renal cell carcinoma, lung carcinoma, or renal angiosarcoma. But histologically the picture is characteristic of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma. Morphological differentiation between an epithelioid hemangioendothelioma and epithelioid angiosarcoma is more helpful than the immunohistochemical markers.

Authors: Agus Suharsono
Published: June 2021

Administrator Leadership Training (PKA) is training for ASN Echelon III which aims to improve leadership performance competencies. Based on the Decree of the Head of the Financial Education and Training Agency (BPPK) No. 82 of 2020, BPPK can conduct distance training as an alternative to learning. This study aims to analyze the implementation of remote PKA policies at the Ministry of Finance. The research method used is quasi-experimental. Collecting data through distributing questionnaires to 26 training participant respondents from various regions (different time zones), then analyzed inductively. The results show that online learning methods make the learning process more productive because learning activities are varied and documented, time and place are flexible, budget allocations are much lower than offline learning. However, there were also several weaknesses, including the lack of social interaction between participants, interference that could occur due to unstable internet networks, and participants feeling tired because they had to sit and stare at a computer screen for a long time. Research recommendations are to improve the quality of the internet network, have independent study and assign assignments before online learning, include case study material as discussion material, and add learning material in the form of videos (not just documents).

This study was carried out to determine the effect of dietary supplementation of melon (Citrallus lanatus) seed oil (WMO) on the growth performance and immune response of growing rabbits. Thirty-six (36), 5-6 weeks weaner rabbit of mixed breed and sex with an average weight of 435 g – 438 grams were randomly divided into four (4) treatments of nine rabbits per group and each rabbit served as a replicate in a completely randomized design (CRD). The experiment lasted for 12 weeks and all other management practices were strictly observed. The basal diet was formulated according to the nutrient requirements of the rabbit according to NRC (1977). Treatment (T1) was fed basal diet with 0 % WMO, T2, T3, and T4 were fed basal diet supplemented with WMO at 0.2 %, 0.4 % and 0.6 % respectively. Results obtained were used to examine the average daily weight gain (ADWG), average daily feed intake (ADFI), feed: gain, mortality, activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), reduced glutathione (GSH), and malonyl dialdehyde (MLA). ADWG, feed: gain, and mortality were significantly different (P˂0.05) among the treatments. ADFI increased as the level of WMO increases, though not at a significant level (P˃0.05). The highest mortality was recorded among animals in T1 (1.00 %), none was recorded in the other treatments (P˂0.05).  Activities of SOD, GST, GSH, and MLA were significantly (P˃0.05) influenced by WMO. It was concluded that dietary supplementation of WMO up to 0.6 % enhanced growth performance, improved feed: gain, and had no negative effect on the antioxidant parameters of rabbits, it is safe and could be used to bridge the gap between food safety and production.

A Comprehensive Review on the Economic Status of the Global Convenience Food Industry
Authors: Banerjee Swapan
Published: June 2021

Nowadays, people worldwide are leading to fast lifestyles due to their official work and childrens’ education. The situations compel almost every earning member who does not have enough time to buy fresh vegetables and other essential food ingredients for cooking good foods both in the lunch and dinner at home. For the last two decades, mainly office goers are dependent on convenience foods called ready-to-eat foods. Disposable income, taste preferences, working stress, and psychological tenacity are the significant factors of the growing demand for fast food or ready meals among the middle-class urban population. Recent trend shows that the global convenience food market is expected to reach a 4.4% compound annual growth rate at the end of 2025. India is also supposed to be a significant contributor among other developed countries. The country is expected to reach the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) tentatively 17%-19% (approximately $655 million) by 2025. Small-scale industries (SSI) play significant roles by engaging themselves with excellent investment in the convenience food market. The increasing demand for food products is the main reason sourced from the millions of consumers worldwide. Hence

Authors: I. B. Okey , E. O. Ayotunde , B. U. Patrick
Published: June 2021

Paraquat is the most common contact and non- selective herbicide for exterminating vegetative pest. Fish are ideal sentinels for detecting aquatic pollutants and are largely used as bio indicators of environmental pollution. This study is aimed to determine the behavioural changes, lethal concentrations (LCs) and mean lethal time (MLT) of paraquat exposed to Clarias gariepinus. A 96 hours renewable bioassay was conducted with various paraquat concentrations 0.0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.0 and 1.25 mg/l. Behavioural changes and cumulative mortality were observed and recorded at 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hour. Behavioural changes such as air gulping, erratic swimming, loss of balance, excessive mucus secretion, discolouration and death were observed with severity increasing as concentration and duration of exposure increases. The LC50 values were decreased from 0.191mg/l (0.171 – 0.222) in 12 hour to 0.107mg/l (0.065 – 0.150) in 96 hour, while relative toxicity factor (TF) was increased from 1 to 1.79 times respectively. The 96hr MLT values were decreased from 91.18 hours (54.09-105.64) at the lowest concentration to 16.22 hours (9.06 – 25.15) at the highest concentration with relative toxicity time (RTT) increasing from 1 to 5.62 times. Herbicide should be apply with caution and studies on the sub lethal effects of paraquat on the haematological, biochemical and histological parameters of C. gariepinus juveniles will be necessary.
Inflationary Impact of Funding Options for Budget Deficits in Nigeria
Authors: Martins Apinran , Patrick Ogiji , Chioma Laniyan , Nuruddeen Usman
Published: June 2021

This paper investigates the inflationary impact of the various financing options for the federal government budget deficit which has accumulated overtime. Using Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) methodology and quarterly data over the period 2000Q1 to 2017Q2, the study found significant relationship between inflation and the current financing options of the Government. Overall, the result of our ARDL model affirm that the impact of fiscal spending in Nigeria on inflation is captured more in the short-run since none of the variables is significant in the long-run. In addition, the use of Banking System Financing to fund government deficits has better potentials as the optimal choice because its impact on inflation is insignificant. Federal Government Bonds as a tool for financing budget deficits is also considered an optimal choice because though it causes inflation to rise by the second quarter, but its impact on inflation is expected to fizzle out in the long-run. Ways and Means Advances on the other hand, was shown to have the highest inflationary impact and as such, its use as a tool for financing government deficit should be discouraged. We, therefore, recommend a couple of appropriate policy options for financing budget deficits in Nigeria namely monetary financing and the issuance of federal government bonds. On the policy side, more efficient public expenditure management. Capital market, co-financing arrangements with pension funds and issuance of project-tied bonds, would be beneficial.

Araştırmanın amacı, Otizm Spektrum Bozukluğuna (OSB) sahip kardeşi olan ergenlerin yılmazlık kaynakları ve kardeşe yönelik tutumlarında çeşitli demografik değişkenlere göre anlamlı bir farklılık olup olmadığını incelemektir. Araştırmanın bir diğer amacı ise OSB’ye sahip kardeşi olan ergenlerin yılmazlık kaynaklarının engelli kardeşlerine yönelik tutumlarını anlamlı bir şekilde yordayıp yordamadığını incelemektir. Çalışma grubunu Denizli ve İzmir ilinde yaşayan ve OSB’ye sahip kardeşi olan 254 ergen oluşturmaktadır. Katılımcıların yaş aralığı 11 ile 18 arasında değişmekte olup katılımcıların 123’ü kız, 131’i erkektir. Araştırmanın verileri 2016-2018 yılları arasında toplanmıştır. Bu çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak Engelli Kardeşe Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği, Çocuklar İçin Yılmazlık Ölçeği ve Kişisel Bilgi Formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada Mann Whitney-U analizinin sonuçlarında cinsiyet değişkenine göre yılmazlık kaynaklarının arkadaş alt boyutunda, bakıma yardımcı birinin varlığı değişkenine göre yılmazlık kaynaklarının okul-öğretmen alt boyutunda ve kardeşe yönelik tutumun kardeşin özelliklerine ilişkin düşünce alt boyutunda anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu bulunmuştur. Araştırmada Kruskal Wallis analizinin sonuçlarında, ailenin içinde yer aldığı gelir grubu değişkenine göre yılmazlık kaynaklarının ve kardeşe yönelik tutumun tüm alt boyutlarında anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu bulgulanmıştır. Çoklu regresyon analizi sonucunda yılmazlık kaynaklarından kendisi ve arkadaş alt boyutlarının kardeşi ile yaşamaya ilişkin duygu ve düşünce puanlarını, yılmazlık kaynaklarından arkadaş ve okul-öğretmen alt boyutlarının kardeşin özelliklerine ilişkin düşünce puanlarını ve yılmazlık kaynaklarından aile, kendisi ve arkadaş alt boyutlarının kardeşin durumuna ilişkin üzüntü, endişe puanlarını anlamlı bir şekilde yordadığı bulunmuştur.

This study, it was aimed to examine the fear of Covid-19 in terms of some variables. The data were obtained from 290 adults (205 women, 85 men) between the ages of 18-65. The descriptive survey model was used in the study. In the analysis of the obtained data, independent groups t-test was used to examine whether the individuals' levels of Covid-19 fear differed statistically according to the variables of gender, having or not having children, having or not having a Covid-19 diagnosis, being diagnosed with Covid-19 or not. Also, one-way ANOVA analysis was used to examine whether Covid-19 fear levels differ according to education level, marital status and age. First of all, the average scores of Covid-19 fear of the individuals participating in the study were examined. When the scores obtained from the Covid-19 fear scale are examined, the items with the highest average are I am most afraid of Covid-19, it makes me uncomfortable to think about Covid-19 and when watching news and stories about Covid-19 on social media, I become nervous or anxious”. Thus, it was revealed that the Covid-19 levels of the individuals participating in the study did not differ significantly according to the variables of gender, age, educational status, whether or not they had children, whether they were diagnosed with Covid-19, and whether or not they were diagnosed with Covid-19 in their relatives. Based on these results, the findings obtained were discussed in line with the literature and suggestions were made to the researchers.
A Study of clinical and laboratory profile of children presenting with febrile seizures in a teaching hospital
Authors: P Venkateshwar
Published: June 2021

Background: Febrile seizures are the most common cause of
convulsions in children. Although most febrile seizures are
benign, the child must be evaluated immediately to reduce
parental anxiety, to identify the cause of fever and preventable
risk factors if any. It is essential to exclude underlying pyogenic
meningitis, either clinically or if any doubt remains, by lumbar
puncture. The present study evaluated the common risk factors
associated with febrile seizures and the conditions causing fever
commonly associated with febrile seizures, the morbidity
profile and laboratory profile in children presenting with febrile
seizures to identify preventable risk factors if any.
Methods : n=50 Children in the age group of 6 months to 5
years admitted to the Department of Pediatrics, Prathima
Institute of Medical Sciences, Nagunoor, Karimnagar with
Febrile Seizures diagnosed as per AAP (American Academy of
Pediatrics) guidelines, taken up for the study and compared
with 50 other children in the same group with fever but without
seizures. Both the study group and control were examined,
investigated and compared against each other concerning the
clinical and laboratory profile.
RESULTS:
In the present observational prospective study, the incidence
of febrile seizures was more in children less than 24 months of
age (78%), with a Male children Preponderance (58%). There
were more children with Pallor (70%), Family History of Seizure
Disorder (30%), and Consanguinity (38%) in children with
Febrile Seizures. URI & Viral fever (44%) were the most common
etiological factors for fever among the study group. On
investigation, many children with Febrile Seizures had low
Haemoglobin levels (60%) and Microcytic Hypochromic
blood picture (58%). There was no significant abnormality in
Total & Differential Leucocyte Count, Serum Calcium,
Electrolyte, Random Blood Sugar levels among the Cases and
Controls.
Conclusion: Young age (<24 months), family history of febrile
seizures and family history of epilepsy are risk factors for febrile
seizures. Consanguinity among parents was an incidental
finding in children with febrile seizures. Many children with
febrile seizures had Microcytic Hypochromic anemia pointing
towards iron deficiency thus iron supplementation to prevent
anemia may lead to decreased incidence of development and
recurrence of febrile seizures. Association of serious infectious
diseases with febrile seizures is rare. Laboratory investigations
should be directed towards the identification of the cause of
fever and not an evaluation of seizure.
