…one of the motivations I had to get writing again was a request from someone at a traditional publisher to write more because it “was so useful to have a moderate voice to point to”. Seems I didn’t do so well at that with that first post back. When you get a criticism about tone it is easy to get defensive.

A tale of two analysts
Authors: Neylon Cameron
Published: February 2024

Understanding how a process looks from outside our own echo chamber can be useful. It helps to calibrate and sanity check our own responses. It adds an external perspective and at its best can save us from our own overly fixed ideas. In the case of the ongoing Elsevier Boycott we even have a perspective that comes from two opposed directions.

Researcher as victim. Researcher as predator.
Authors: Neylon Cameron
Published: February 2024

Researchers for the most part are pretty smart people. At the very least theyâ€™ve managed to play the games required of undergraduate and post graduate students, and out-competed a substantial proportion of other vying for the same places. Senior academics have survived running the gauntlet of getting published, and getting funded, at least enough to stay in the race.
Update on publishers and SOPA: Time for scholarly publishers to disavow the AAP

Published: February 2024

In my last post on scholarly publishers that support the US Congress SOPA bill I ended up making a series of edits. It was pointed out to me that the Macmillan listed as a supporter is not the Macmillan that is the parent group of Nature Publishing Group but a separate U.S. subsidiary of the same ultimate holding company, Holtzbrinck.

Examining entrepreneurial intentions through the lens of university students' attitudes
Authors: Ognjenović Kosovka
Published: February 2024

The labour markets of the transition countries of Central and Eastern Europe relied on stronger growth of the corporate sector as a mechanism for integrating the growing number of laid-off workers. The Serbian labour market has had a similar experience. Decades after the start of economic reforms, however, the role of entrepreneurship as an integrative employment mechanism has not increased in importance, which is best evidenced by statistical data. This paper focuses on students' intention to start their own business after graduation, and specifically examines the relationship between intention and personal attitudes. The experiment was conducted with two groups of students. The results indicate differences in students' attitudes towards entrepreneurship that deepen according to faculty group, gender, and year of study. From the students' responses, it can be concluded that electrical engineering students, female economics students and students in higher years of study are more inclined towards entrepreneurship. This may have implications for measures to support the development of youth entrepreneurship.
First language interference in speaking and writing Indonesian language of Azerbaijani students in Indonesian language course at Azerbaijan University of Languages
Authors: Zarbali Nabiyya , Suroso Suroso , Syamsi Kastam
Published: February 2024

This study examines the issue of first language interference in spoken and written Indonesian by Azerbaijani students who are taking an Indonesian language course at Azerbaijan University of Languages. The study is framed within the context of bilingualism, where first language interference occurs when individuals learn a foreign language. The aim of this research is to identify the types and causes of interference displayed by Azerbaijani-speaking students when using Indonesian language, with a focus on speaking and writing during classroom activities. A descriptive qualitative approach was used to collect data through observation and documentation, including oral recordings and written assignments. Analysis revealed that Azerbaijani students face pronunciation, morphology, and syntax challenges due to interference based on Weinreich's theory. Pronunciation challenges arise from the lack of the phonetic sound [ê] in Azerbaijani, resulting in substitutions with [é]. Morphological complexities arise from the unfamiliarity with prefixes in Azerbaijani, making it difficult to transform active sentences into passive structures. Syntactic challenges arise due to the differing sentence structures between Azerbaijani (S-O-P-C) and Indonesian (S-P-O-C). To mitigate interference, it is recommended to include targeted phonological drills, increased morphological exercises, and enhanced syntactic practice to facilitate a smoother language acquisition journey for Azerbaijani students who are mastering Indonesian language.

Published: February 2024

Background/Aims: In this meta-analysis, we studied the safety and efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for colorectal dysplasia in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).Methods: Multiple databases were searched, and studies were retrieved based on pre-specified criteria until October 2022. The outcomes assessed were resection rates, procedural complications, local recurrence, metachronous tumors, and the need for surgery after ESD in IBD. Standard meta-analysis methods were followed using the random-effects model, and I2% was used to assess heterogeneity.Results: Twelve studies comprising 291 dysplastic lesions in 274 patients were included with a median follow-up of 25 months. The pooled en-bloc resection, R0 resection, and curative resection rates were 92.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 87.9%–95.4%; I2=0%), 81.5% (95% CI, 72.5%–88%; I2=43%), and 48.9% (95% CI, 32.1%–65.9%; I2=87%), respectively. The local recurrence rate was 3.9% (95% CI, 2%–7.5%; I2=0%). The pooled rates of bleeding and perforation were 7.7% (95% CI, 4.5%–13%; I2=10%) and 5.3% (95% CI, 3.1%–8.9%; I2=0%), respectively. The rates of metachronous recurrence and additional surgery following ESD were 10% (95% CI, 5.2%–18.2%; I2=55%) and 13% (95% CI, 8.5%–19.3%; I2=54%), respectively.Conclusions: ESD is safe and effective for the resection of dysplastic lesions in IBD with an excellent pooled rate of en-bloc and R0 resection.
Forward viewing liner echoendoscopy for therapeutic interventions
Authors: Hara Kazuo , Okuno Nozomi , Haba Shin , Kuwahara Takamichi
Published: February 2024

Therapeutic endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) procedures using the forward-viewing convex EUS (FV-EUS) have been reviewed based on the articles reported to date. The earliest reported procedure is the drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts using FV-EUS. However, the study on drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts focused on showing that drainage is possible with FV-EUS rather than leveraging its features. Subsequently, studies describing the characteristics of FV-EUS have been reported. By using FV-EUS in EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy, double punctures in the gastrointestinal tract can be avoided. In postoperative modified anatomical cases, using the endoscopic function of FV-EUS, procedures such as bile duct drainage from anastomosis, pancreatic duct drainage from the afferent limb, and abscess drainage from the digestive tract have been reported. When a perpendicular puncture to the gastrointestinal tract is required or when there is a need to insert the endoscope deep into the gastrointestinal tract, FV-EUS is considered among the options.
Potassium-competitive acid blocker-associated gastric mucosal lesions
Authors: Kubo Kimitoshi , Kimura Noriko , Kato Mototsugu
Published: February 2024

Since the introduction of vonoprazan, a potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB), it has been demonstrated to reversibly inhibit gastric acid secretion by engaging in potassium-competitive ionic binding to H+/K+-ATPase. In contrast, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) achieve H+/K+-ATPase inhibition through covalent binding to cysteine residues of the proton pump. Reported cases have indicated an emerging trend of P-CAB-related gastropathies, similar to those associated with PPIs, as well as unique gastropathies specific to P-CAB use, such as the identification of web-like mucus. Pathologically, parietal cell profusions, which show a positively correlated with hypergastrinemia, have a higher incidence in P-CAB users compared to PPI users. Thus, this review aims to summarize the endoscopic and pathological findings reported to date concerning P-CAB-related gastric mucosal lesions. Additionally, it seeks to discuss the differences between the PPIs and P-CABs in terms of the formation and frequency of associated gastropathies. This review highlights the evident differences in the mechanism of action and potency of acid inhibition between P-CABs and PPIs, notably contributing to differences in the formation and frequency of associated gastropathies. It emphasizes the necessity to distinguish between P-CAB-related and PPI-related gastropathies in the clinical setting.
ՁԵՐԲԱԿԱԼՄԱՆ ԻՐԱՎԱՉԱՓՈՒԹՅԱՆ ՈՐՈՇ ՀԻՄՆԱԽՆԴԻՐՆԵՐԻ ՄԱՍԻՆ / ON CERTAIN ISSUES OF LEGITIMACY OF THE ARREST
Authors: Hakobyan Samvel
Published: February 2024

This research is dedicated to judicial guarantees of legitimacy of the arrest.
The newly adopted Criminal Procedure Code of the Republic of Armenia has
fundamentally changed the structures of the arrest, so this article discussed
some issues related to the legitimacy of the arrest, and based on which,
specific recommendations were presented to make the new code easier to
apply.
In order to achieve the goals set by the Constitution, the state, using suitable
and necessary means, can proportionately limit the fundamental rights and
freedoms of individuals. The more intensive the restriction of basic rights and
freedoms of a person, the greater the burden of justifying the restriction. One
of the fundamental rights subject to restriction is also the right to freedom of
the person. A measure of restriction of the right to freedom is the arrest of a
person, keeping him in prison, as well as applying detention to the accused as
a preventive measure. The current Criminal Procedure Code of the Republic
of Armenia (hereinafter referred to as the Code), making significant changes
to the staged structure of the criminal procedure, establishes a number of
innovations related to arrest procedures. Given that the new Code is not yet
sufficiently "polished", this research becomes even more relevant.

Authors: Waruwu Mira Kritiani , Palupiningtyas Dyah
Published: February 2024

This study investigates the relationship between macroeconomic factors and the financial performance of Nadira Fashion Company, located in Randugunting village, Bergas subdistrict, Semarang district. As a fundamental social necessity, clothing is intricately linked to daily life, with fashion trends evolving continually in the modern era. Despite its prominence, the fashion industry faces challenges influenced by macroeconomic conditions that impact company performance and value. Through path analysis utilizing data from banking financial reports and Indonesia's economic growth reports for 2021-2022, this research explores the impact of macroeconomic variables such as economic growth, inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, and government policies on Nadira Fashion Company's financial performance. The findings reveal that while fundamental macroeconomic factors may not significantly influence Nadira Fashion Company's financial performance or value, the company's internal financial metrics, notably profitability measured by return on equity (ROE), demonstrate a substantial positive correlation with company value. These results highlight the importance of considering company-specific factors alongside macroeconomic variables in assessing financial performance and value in the fashion industry. The study provides valuable insights for investors, policymakers, and business managers, aiding in strategic decision-making and risk management. Ultimately, by understanding the interplay between macroeconomic conditions and company dynamics, stakeholders can navigate challenges effectively and capitalize on opportunities for sustainable growth in the fashion sector.
Nurses’ healthy behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic and related factors
Authors: Lee Eun-Kyoung , Kim Ji-Soo
Published: February 2024

Purpose: This study aimed to examine nurses’ healthy behaviors during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and related factors.Methods: A cross-sectional study was adapted, and data were collected from 300 hospital nurses between August and November 2021. The nurses’ characteristics, healthy behaviors, COVID-19 stress levels, health self-efficacy, and nursing professional pride were self-reported using structured questionnaires. Multivariable linear regressions were conducted to identify factors related to nurses’ healthy behaviors.Results: Healthy lifestyle was the lowest among the subscales of healthy behaviors. Nurses’ healthy behaviors were related to age (B=0.15, p=.021), COVID-19 stress level (B=-0.08, p=.007), nursing professional pride (B=0.19, p<.001), and health self-efficacy (B=0.38, p<.001).Conclusion: To enhance nurses’ healthy lifestyles during the pandemic, organizational support is needed, such as ensuring facilities for rest or physical activities accessible from the hospital and supplying healthy food in hospitals. Younger nurses, nurses with high levels of COVID-19 stress, and nurses with lower health self-efficacy may benefit from hospital organizations that provide more support and guidance in promoting health behaviors. Furthermore, hospital organizations should promote professional pride by empowering nurses’ efforts and reinforcing their values.

Authors: Kim Pan Heui , Kim Hee Sook
Published: February 2024

Purpose: This study aimed to identify whether there is a difference between an online-based community psychiatric nursing practice program with the ARCS model and a conventional community psychiatric nursing practice program in promoting nursing students’ learning motivation, knowledge of community psychiatric nursing, communication skills, and learning self-efficacy.Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group. The participants were 44 nursing students at three nursing colleges in Gyeongsangbuk-do. The experimental group was provided the online-based community psychiatric nursing practice program with ARCS model, while the control group was provided the conventional community psychiatric nursing practice program from July 9, to September 3, 2022. Both groups received practice training 8 hours a day, 5 days two weeks. The collected data were analyzed using the exact χ2, Mann-Whitney U-test, and Quade’s two-way ANCOVA with the IBM SPSS Statistics 28.0 program.Results: The results of the comparison of an experimental group training with the online-based community psychiatric nursing practice program with ARCS model and a control group training with the conventional community psychiatric nursing practice program showed that, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in learning motivation knowledge of community psychiatric nursing, and learning self-efficacy. However, communication skills were statistically significantly higher in the experimental group (F=6.23, p=.017).Conclusion: The online-based community psychiatric nursing practice program with ARCS model can be used as a substitute learning to improve community psychiatric nursing capabilities in situations when clinical practice is suspended due to infectious diseases such as coronavirus disease 2019 or when is a shortage of community psychiatric nursing practice institutions.

Authors: Syamsi Norma Lalla Nur
Published: February 2024

Community empowerment is an important approach to improving health at various social, economic, and cultural levels. This approach emphasizes the active role of communities in managing and improving their own well-being, including aspects of physical, mental, and social health. Community empowerment involves the process of developing the knowledge, skills, and capacity of individuals and groups to understand and overcome health problems. This can include health education, the promotion of healthy lifestyles, strengthening access to health services, and building community-friendly health infrastructure. Through collaboration between governments, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector, community empowerment can be an effective means to improve the accessibility and quality of health services, as well as to reduce health disparities among different groups of people. The implementation of community empowerment programs has shown a significant impact on increasing health knowledge, improving healthy living behaviors, and reducing preventable disease and mortality.

Published: February 2024

Immunization of infants is one of the most important steps in maintaining their health and well-being. This article discusses the importance of immunization in infants, including its benefits, the types of immunizations recommended, and their positive impact on society. Immunization in infants helps protect them from serious diseases that can be life-threatening, such as measles, polio, tetanus, and hepatitis. By immunizing babies according to the schedule recommended by health authorities, parents can help build the baby's immune system so that they are more resistant to infection and disease. In addition to protecting vaccinated babies, immunization also plays an important role in creating herd immunity. With high vaccination rates in communities, infectious diseases have little chance of spreading, protecting even individuals who cannot yet be vaccinated or who are immune to the disease. There are still many myths and concerns about immunization that can deter parents from immunizing their babies. Therefore, it is important for medical personnel and health professionals to provide accurate education about the benefits of immunization and help answer questions and concerns parents may have. By understanding the importance of immunization for infants, it is hoped that public awareness will increase and vaccination rates will continue to increase. This will result in a healthier generation and reduced morbidity and death from immunization-preventable diseases.
Education of pregnant women to increase mothers' knowledge and attitudes regarding exclusive breastfeeding
Authors: Asmi A Syamsinar , Cahya Mulat Trimaya
Published: February 2024

Exclusive breastfeeding (ASI-E) is a very important practice for the optimal health and development of the baby. However, the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women towards breast milk often require improvement. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of education programs for pregnant women in increasing their knowledge and attitudes regarding breastfeeding. There was a significant improvement in the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women who participated in the education program compared to the control group. Post-intervention, pregnant women in the intervention group had a better understanding of the benefits of breast milk-E, correct breastfeeding techniques, and resolution of problems that may arise during the breastfeeding period. Positive attitudes toward ASI-E were also more dominant among the intervention group. This educational program provides strong evidence that increasing the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women through educational interventions can be an effective strategy to improve breastfeeding practices. Future recommendations include long-term research to evaluate the long-term impact of these education programs on breastfeeding practices as well as the inclusion of fathers in education efforts.

A utilização de materiais, como a sílica resultante da queima da casca de arroz, na construção civil, especialmente para substituir uma parte do cimento na produção de compósitos cimentícios, representa uma prática que contribui para a sustentabilidade ambiental, uma vez que a indústria do cimento é responsável por uma parcela substancial das emissões globais de gases de efeito estufa. Isso ocorre não apenas pela redução na extração do clínquer utilizado na fabricação do cimento, mas também pelo aproveitamento de resíduos provenientes de outras indústrias. Uma outra vantagem é que a substituição parcial do cimento pela sílica pode contribuir para melhorias em algumas propriedades desses compósitos. Em virtude disso, o propósito deste estudo foi analisar o desempenho mecânico e físico de argamassas produzidas com 0% (referência), 5%, 10% e 15% de substituição, em volume, do cimento pela sílica proveniente da cinza da casca de arroz (SCA). Foram realizados ensaios de tração por compressão diametral aos 28 dias, compressão aos 7 e 28 dias e índice de absorção aos 28 dias de cura. Os resultados evidenciaram que as amostras com cinzas obtiveram resistência à tração similar à referência. De maneira geral, a introdução da SCA reduziu os valores de resistência à compressão e ampliou ligeiramente o índice de absorção das argamassas, resultados desfavoráveis para o desempenho mecânico e durabilidade, respectivamente, mas que podem ser mitigados por meio de uma moagem efetiva das cinzas anterior ao seu uso. Para pesquisas futuras, sugere-se o estudo do desempenho das argamassas com cinzas após longas idades de cura, pois as reações das SCA ocorrem lentamente.

Development of a Mechanical Seal Closed Design Model
Authors: Serhii Shevchenko
Published: February 2024

The operating experience of mechanical seals shows that as a result of angular deformations of the rings, the wear of the contact surfaces along the radius is uneven. When designing mechanical seals, it is necessary to calculate the amount of expected leakage through the seal, friction power consumption, as well as the possible durability of the unit. These calculated dependencies and estimates are obtained based on the constructed mechanical seal model. In the area of hydrodynamic load support in the case of a confusor joint or a converging film, the slope of the pressure diagram is such that a decrease in the film thickness increases the hydrodynamic support. This is referred to as enabling stable non-contact sealing operation. The execution of the rubbing surfaces of the interface of the end pair should ensure the formation of the calculated confusor shape of the sealing gap in all modes of operation and axisymmetric pressure fields during the rotation of the rotor.
