The Formulation and Validation of a Conceptual Framework for the Transition from E-government to M-government
Authors: Alharmoodi Badir Yousif Rafee , Lakulu Muhammad Modi
Published: May 2022

The proliferation of mobile devices has spurred many nations across the globe to make the necessary transition from e-government to m-government to provide better services to their citizens more flexibly, transcending temporal and geographical barriers. However, making such transitions is fraught with numerous challenges that may impede a smooth transition of these services. To make matters worse, there is a lack of conceptual frameworks to which relevant stakeholders can refer. Against this backdrop, this study was carried out to formulate and validate a conceptual framework to guide the transition of services from e-government to m-government in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This study was based on qualitative approach involving a survey in which 15 academicians from reputable universities in the UAE were selected to seek their opinions on the conceptual framework of the study. The research instrument used in this study constituted a survey questionnaire consisting of two parts. The first part sought to gather personal information of the participating experts, namely gender, age, educational level, working experience, and fields of expertise. The second part aimed to elicit their opinions regarding the appropriateness of five constructs and their components used for the formulation of the conceptual framework of the study, namely IT Infrastructure, IT Skills, Security and Privacy, Knowledge of Operating Standard and Protocols, and Operating Frameworks, each of which was rated along a spectrum of agreement based on 4-point Likert-type scales, ranging from ‘1’ (Strongly Disagree) to ‘4’ (Strongly Agree). This part consisted of 25 items, with each construct being rated by five items. The survey questionnaire was pilot-tested involving four experts in the field of mobile communication. The analysis of experts’ opinions were analyzed based on the Fuzzy Delphi Method, showing that IT Infrastructure and Security and Privacy were deemed highly valid, closely followed by the remaining constructs, namely IT skills, Operational Frameworks, and Knowledge of Standards and Protocols. Likewise, all of their components were also deemed highly valid. The above findings strongly suggest that all the five constructs as well as their components are crucial aspects that may have significant impacts on the transition of services from e-government to m-government in the UAE. From the practical standpoint, the validated conceptual framework help provide a greater insight into the understanding of potential challenges that relevant stakeholders have to face as they embark on making such an ambitious transition. However, more studies are required to examine the usability of the proposed conceptual framework for the transition of services from e-government to m-government from the perspective of practitioners working in the related fields.
Tailoring the squalene-hopene cyclase for stereoconvergent and efficient cationic cyclization cascades
Authors: Schneider Andreas , Curado Christian , Lystbaek Thomas , Osuna Silvia , Hauer Bernhard
Published: May 2022

Asymmetric catalysis has witnessed paramount lessons from terpene cyclase enzymology such as the ability to control dynamic carbocations or cationic cyclization cascades. In general, these cascades are stereodivergent and thus rely on the terpene’s double-bond geometry. In this work, we illuminate how the dynamic supramolecular framework of squalene-hopene cyclases (SHCs) can be tailored to break with this paradigm. Creating a locally electron-enriched confined active site, we enabled the stereoconvergent cationic cyclization of a cis/trans terpene mixture into one isomer. Our results suggest that a priorly unknown active site “memory” effect of the SHC aids this intricate transformation. Based on these findings, we employed synergistic active site and tunnel engineering to generate a most efficient (–)-ambroxide cyclase. Broad computational investigations evidently explain how the introduced mutations work in concert to improve substrate acquisition, flow and chaperoning. Nonetheless, kinetics disclosed a substrate-induced downregulation of the membrane-bound SHC as the major turnover limitation in vivo. Merging these new insights with the improved and stereoconvergent catalysis of the enzyme, we applied a feeding strategy to exceed 106 TTN with the SHC.

This article summarizes use of a serious online game/simulation (SOGS) and assessment of students’ perceptions of the SOGS. In this teaching activity, students assume roles of resource allocators who decide which communities receive assistance during an epidemic. When the simulation ends, students see some consequences of their decisions. such as financial costs and death rates. One week after completing this SOGS, students took an anonymous survey which included open-ended short-answer essay questions. Two coders engaged in emergent content analysis of the essay responses. This analysis revealed two dimensions of positively and negatively-valenced themes. The results highlighted the value of conducting activity-specific assessments. Suggestions for future research and SOGS activities are offered.
Reading As Active Learning: Exploring pedagogical practices in a dual-classroom model
Authors: Nelson Julie K.
Published: May 2022

Reading academic material is required in virtually all university classrooms. As such, reading can present a challenge not only for reluctant or resistant students, but also for instructors who assume students have completed assigned reading before class, have understood the information, and retained it for subsequent classroom discussion. However, research has shown the majority of students do not complete the assigned reading. Rather than presenting original data, this paper re-frames pedagogical practices in family science courses using a dual-classroom model for students to engage in active learning through assigned reading. Four active reading strategies are outlined to maximize dual-classroom learning environments.

Authors: Kusuma Inggar Ratna , Rita Damayanti  , Prasetyo Sabarinah
Published: May 2022

Postpartum family planning coverage in Central Java is below the national standard, or it only reached 26.8%. Postpartum mothers are at risk of getting pregnant if they do not use contraception. Modern contraceptives prevent 3.2 million of 5.6 million under-five deaths and 109,000 of 155,000 (70%) maternal deaths. Continuity of Midwifery Care during the extended postpartum period encourages mothers to use modern contraception to manage the pregnancy gap. This study aimed to explore midwifery services for Family Planning Postpartum from the perspective of providers and clients in three health facilities: hospitals (RS), Public Health Centers, and Independent Midwifery Practice (PMB). The research was implemented through a qualitative descriptive, a case study approach design in 2021. informants were ten postpartum mothers, nine midwives, two heads of Puskesmas, head division of Family Planning, Women and Children Empowerment (KBPPA) conducted an in-depth interview. The interviews were digitally recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman method. Providers and clients identified several benefits of Postpartum Family Planning (KBPP). Midwives stated several obstacles in providing services, such as limited counseling time during labor and lack of support from hospital management. The competence of midwives constrained KBPP services at the Puskesmas. There were still few midwives at the Puskesmas certified to provide Long Term Contraception Method services. Midwives were also overloaded with work during the pandemic. Obstacles in the Independent Midwifery Practice were the lack of IMP with clinical networks and the limited authority of the midwife. Meanwhile, postpartum mothers' barriers included lack of knowledge about fertility and KBPP, worry about side effects, and the husband's lack of support. Therefore, optimizing the referral mechanism for long-term contraception in advanced health facilities is necessary. Continuity of care midwives and integration of services will increase coverage of postpartum contraception.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, access to sanitation is an important part of preventing COVID-19. Poor sanitation in the household has the potential to cause the spread of disease at the household level. Densely populated settlements are areas with the highest COVID-19 prevalence. The purpose of this research was to describe access to sanitation in households in densely populated residential areas. This study was Qualitative with descriptive design. Information was collected through in-depth interviews with informants and observations of sanitation facilities at the household level. People in densely populated settlements have access to clean water that meets the requirements of clean water for use in their daily life, however, the community had not fully provided hand washing facilities that meet standards, such as not equipped with soap and not having posters of information on how to wash hands. proper hand washing. Provision of temporary waste disposal facilities in community homes hds not met existing standards, such as not made of strong materials, easy to rust, not easy to clean and many are not equipped with covers. Some people did not carry out processing and sorting of waste before finally throwing it into the trash. In addition, the implementation of disinfection was no longer routinely carried out. People can not afford to buy disinfectant. Access to sanitation in densely populated settlements had not been maximally fulfilled, it is necessary to improve the quality of sanitation facilities at the household level

Authors: Li Jianzhang , Lv Wenxue
Published: May 2022

In order to ensure the safety in using a large cylindrical storage tank, it is necessary to regularly detect its deformation. The traditional total station method has high accuracy in determining the deformation, however, it has a low measurement efficiency. Long-term observation means, there are more risks in the petrochemical plant, therefore, this paper proposes the usage of the 3D laser scanner, replacing the traditional total station to determine the deformation of a large cylindrical storage tank. The Matlab program, is compiled to calculate the point cloud data, while the tank deformation is analyzed from two different points which are, the local concave convex degree and the ovality degree. It is concluded that, the difference between the data obtained by 3D laser scanning, and total station is within the range of oil tank deformation limit, therefore, 3D laser scanner can be used for oil tank deformation detection.

Authors: Tony Sara M , Abdelrahim Mohamed EA
Published: May 2022

Short acting beta2-agonists (SABAs) such as salbutamol and terbutaline are commonly used in the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). According to the guideline produced by the British Thoracic Society (BTS) and the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN), SABAs are considered to be the first line of treatment in asthma management. The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines also recommend the use of SABA as the first line of treatment for managing patients with COPD. The recommendations in NICE guidelines state that in COPD patients, breathlessness and exercise limitation should be first medicated with short-acting bronchodilators (including beta2-agonists or anticholinergics) when it is required. Both salbutamol and terbutaline have been widely used for asthma and COPD, and they have been found to be extremely beneficial in the two pathologic conditions.

Objective: To investigate the status quo of nursing practice environment, nurses’ safety attitude, and occupational well-being, as well as to explore the relationship among the three, so as to provide reference for formulating and implementing corresponding measures. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from October 2021 to December 2021. A total of 1,939 nurses from five tertiary hospitals in a city were surveyed using the Nurses’ Practice Environment Assessment Scale, Safety Attitudes Questionnaire, and Medical Workers’ Occupational Wellbeing Scale. The data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0. Results: The total score of nurses’ practice environment was 68.81 ± 27.79 points, which is at a relatively general level; the total score of nurses’ safety attitude was 111.28 ± 14.38 points, which is at a moderate level; and the total score of occupational well-being was 62.43 ± 28.17 points, which is relatively high. There was a significant positive correlation between nurses’ practice environment and their safety attitudes and occupational well-being (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Nurses are the main human resources in hospitals, and their practice environment is closely related to patient safety and their work enthusiasm. An unhealthy practice environment not only affects the quality of care, which leads to patient safety issues, but also their job satisfaction. Nurse managers are encouraged to implement targeted interventions in advance to improve nurses’ practice environment, strengthen safety attitudes, and enhance the professional wellbeing of nurses.

Published: May 2022

The purpose of the research is to comprehend, on the basis of the ideological aspect, the reasons that have developed in the fi eld of nature management, in particular, in the fi eld of agricultural reclamation, based on the doctrine of Dokuchaev-Williams-Kostyakov on the genesis and reclamation of soils as a special natural formation. To identify the cause of the environmental-reclamation crisis on irrigated lands of Central Asia and South Kazakhstan. On the basis of general reasoning, which follows from the cognitive attitude to the surrounding reality and focused on one value,that is, at any cost to get a «record» harvest from crops. As a result, in areas of insuffi cient moisture for the regulation and management of hydrological regimes of groundwater and surface water in rice systems, for the fi rst time in world practice, irrigation and drainage (collector-drainage) systems were designed in parallel, contrary to the principles of natural analogy and integration of knowledge, where sovereign human interests prevailed over the sovereign «interests» of nature. In these conditions, scientists of amelioration science faced a very diffi cult task, that is, ensuring high productivity of agricultural crops or soil-reclamation stability of hydro-agrolandscape systems, which, based on the level of thinking activity, formed various positions and confl icts, based on the laws of the dialectic «denial of denial», expressing continuity, the spiral nature of development, the connection between the new and the old, a kind of repetition at the highest stage of development of some properties of a number of lower stages, justifi es the progressive nature of development, did not see their need to build objects of a new type – activity-natural systems that consider anthropogenic and natural processes in a single set. At the same time, world experience shows that the new knowledge gained on the irrigation of rice as an aquatic and terrestrial crop by surface irrigation along the furrow, sprinkling and drip irrigation in combination with doses of macrofertilizers, made it possible to formulate a scientifi c hypothesis for cost-eff ective and environmentally safe management of the soil water regime, providing purposeful regulation of the soil-forming process.

Published: May 2022

Fertilizing ameliorants based on organic fertilizers, in particular, goat manure with the introduction of sewage sludge from the municipal economy of the Ryazan region, chopped straw and a complex of effective microorganisms should have a benefi cial effect on the soil and plants and not pollute the environment. For this, it is necessary to compare the actual values with sanitary standards. One of the polluting factors are microorganisms entering the environment from the ameliorant being introduced. The safety of soil, natural and ground waters, and crop production is an important problem when carrying out restoration measures on degraded drained peat soil. Based on the above, the research topic is relevant. The research included laboratory methods based on analysis, logic, comparison. The experimental scheme concerned different doses of the ameliorant applied to the soil when regulating the water regime through irrigation. The research will ultimately help to develop practical recommendations for agricultural holding Novoselki, which uses the agricultural landscape as fodder land. In the process of research, a direct dependence of the degree of environmental pollution on the dose of the ameliorant was revealed. At the same time, an active process of self-purifi cation of all environments (soil, natural and lysimetric waters) was clearly traced, that confirmed the total content of mesophilic aerobic and facultative anaerobic microorganisms that have grown at 37°C and the total number of mesophilic aerobic and facultative anaerobic microorganisms that grew at 22°C. The content of Escherichia coli and the total microbial number on the 21st day after the introduction of UM decreased in media by 1.5-2 times. In all environments, pathogenic microfl ora and eggs of helminths were not detected in all years of the research. The introduction of a fertilizer ameliorant into the soil at the rate of 15 t/ha is the most optimal one from the agronomic point of view. The dependence of the degree of environmental pollution on the dose of the ameliorant application, considering the intensive self-cleaning process, was not revealed in all environments of pathogenic microfl ora and helminth eggs in all the years of the research. Herbal products are safe. It is permissible to use grown products for haylage.

The purpose of the work is to analyze the problems and prospects of water management in the Lam River basin (Vietnam), as well as their impact on water use conditions in the provinces – Nge An and Ha Tinh. The analysis takes into account the development of irrigation, hydropower and the main trends in water management. The efficiency of water use in the Lam River basin was assessed, planning, management structure and sources of financing for water management were analyzed, as well as prospects for the development of hydropower and irrigated agriculture were considered. Up-to-date data has been collected, and the structure of water use for the river basin of the Lam River has been compiled. Recommendations on planning and management of water resources have been developed. The research applied a comprehensive integrated approach, the method of system analysis and the provisions of the concept of sustainable development, methods of expert assessments. The analysis of water use, taking into account the state of hydro-reclamation systems operation in the Lam River basin, showed that the operational capacity of irrigation facilities does not meet the requirements; water loss during irrigation is about 30%, in the household water supply losses are 25.5%. There is no master plan for the use of water sources; there is no plan and financing to replace old reservoirs and ponds for irrigation purposes. The survey of experts and the public also revealed the problem of insufficient accumulation and exchange of relevant information on the river. Management, operation and use, as well as planning of water resources in the Lam River basin have made positive changes, having a certain impact on the community. However, in order to successfully implement the transformation of water resources management from traditional to integrated, it is required that the communities in the basin overcome the shortcomings in the exploitation and use of water resources.

Authors: Razina А. А. , Dyatlova О. G.
Published: May 2022

The results of phytopathological examination of grain batches of oat zoned varieties Rovesnik and Egorych grown in different areas of the Irkutsk region and harvested in 2015-2016 and in 2020-2021 have been presented. Infestation with micromycetes was determined by the wet chamber method according to GOST 12044-93. The weather conditions during the growing years of the examined oat batches were warm and characterized by a deviation of moisture during the growing season from the norm which led to plants weakening and the reinforced development of phytopathogenic  micromycetes. A high ubiquitous occurrence of fungi from the genus Alternaria has been established. In 2015 the infestation of oat cultivar with Rovesnik fungi from the genus Alternaria ranged from 20 tо 36 %, and that grown in 2016 – from 44 tо 83 %. The variety Egorych in 2016 was infested from 43 tо 91%. In the batches harvested in 2020 and 2021, irrespective to a cultivar, the infestation was from 70 tо 100 % and from 60 tо 98 %, correspondingly. Bipolaris spp. was observed in all the analyzed batches of oat variety Rovesnik in the harvests of 2015 and 2016 with a varying infestation range of 3-12 % and 4-37 %, respectively. The cultivar Egorych harvested in 2016 had the infestation level from 3 tо 87 %. In the harvests of 2020 and 2021, single batches free from Bipolaris spp. were found, but most of them had a degree of infestation, regardless of a variety, of 7-40 % and 3-45 %, respectively, in 2020 and 2021. The occurrence of phytopathogens of the genus Fusarium spp. did not depend on the variety, but it differed greatly in years. In the grain of most batches harvested in 2015-2016, the infestation with micromycetes Fusarium spp. was within the range of 1-24 %, and in the harvest of 2020-2021 the batches with very high infestation with this pathogen prevailed – 23-93 % and 20-67 %, respectively. Single batches were free of Fusarium spp.

The Sido Makmur Farmers' Association Sidorejo, Gunungpati, Semarang City has promising potential to become a tourist village based on cow's milk. The problem is that the management of cow's milk products is not optimal because it is still done in a conventional way and does not pay attention to hygiene and sanitation. Until 2020, the Sido Makmur Sidorejo livestock farmer group continues to strive to increase cow's milk products. Therefore, the community service team assists in the safety of dairy cow's milk to be safe from biological, chemical and physical contamination by testing cow's milk in accordance with the Indonesian National Standard Source: SNI 01-3141-1998 (SNI Fresh Cow Milk). The service team also provides assistance in the development of dairy cow's milk products, especially during the fasting month, when demand decreases, overproduction occurs so that at that time cow's milk can still be processed to produce products that can be offered to visitors. In this service activity, the team designed and built a Pasteurization machine with a milk capacity of 15 liters. Based on the results of the experiments carried out, the system can process temperatures between 60OC and 80OC in accordance with the provisions for Pasteurization at medium temperatures.

Published: May 2022

As a part of the Agrilab Inclusive farming programme, Pusat Rehabilitasi Yakum collaborated with the Institute for Research and Community Service, Universitas Kristen Duta Wacana in assisting the design and development of the inclusive mushroom house which is owned by the farmers under the Yakkum Difable Person Organisation in Cangkep Lor, Purworejo. The design process was conducted by utilizing the participatory design method. The enquiry phase included the determination of the most demanding capabilities in the mushroom-farming context. The problems were mainly found in accessibility. For instance, the visually impaired farmer required non-visual stimulus. In addition, motion or space adjustment was also needed by wheelchair-using farmers. The action-research method in this programme intended to develop a mushroom house with adequate, accessible pathways and an automatic misting system that eased the difficulties faced by farmers with disabilities. The results showed that the solutions increased the productivity of mushroom farming, promoted a positive experience in mushroom cultivation both for farmers with and without disabilities. The participation of mushroom farmers during the design process was the key to the sustainable mushroom house. This approach allowed the mushroom farmers to understand the inclusive design principles and to adjust the design to meet their capabilities and local sources. Therefore, they could accommodate maintenance and implement future development independently.
BASIC HOPE AND EXISTENTIAL ANXIETY AMONG ADULTHOOD GENERATIONS
Authors: Gawda Barbara
Published: May 2022

Purpose. This study attempts to show the level of basic hope and existential anxiety among younger adults/emerging adulthood and middle adult generations. Basic hope is seen as a positive feeling playing a fundamental motivational role in the regulation of human behavior. It has been pointed out that hope is a prospective emotion that, contrary to fear/anxiety, is directed toward the future. Existential anxiety is thought to be inversely related with hope which means that existential anxiety is associated with unresolved intra-psychic conflicts. Methods. A sample of 139 younger and adult participants from the general population was examined. They represented three stages of adulthood: emerging adulthood (59), early adulthood (28), middle adulthood (52). They completed two self-measure questionnaires focused on basic hope (Basic Hope Inventory – 12 by Trzebiński and Zięba) and existential anxiety (Existential Anxiety Questionnaire by Weems and associates).  Results. The results indicate that the younger generation/emerging adulthood displays a higher level of existential anxiety and lower level of basic hope than other adult generations. Young people who feel higher existential anxiety do not believe that their future will be positive. Adult women display a higher level of basic hope than men while the level of existential anxiety is similar in both women and men  Conclusions. The results document developmental characteristics of the stage named emerging adulthood. At this stage of development, people are particularly vulnerable, full of fear for their future, they have to make important decisions about their education, professional decisions, and close interpersonal relationships. As their hope is low and existential anxiety is high they do not perceive their future positively.

The development of tools for the synthesis, design, and optimization of biorefineries requires deep knowledge of the thermochemical processes involved in these schemes. For this project, three models from scientific literature were implemented to simulate the processes: fast pyrolysis in a fluidized bed, fixed-bed, and fluidized-bed gasification using the Aspen PlusTM software. These models allow the user to obtain performance, consumption, and cost parameters necessary for the design and optimization of biorefineries schemes. The fast pyrolysis model encompasses a detailed description of biomass decomposition and kinetics of the process (149 reactions). In the fixed-bed gasification process, seven reactions that model the process have been integrated into two equilibrium reactors that minimize the Gibbs free energy. The model used for fluidized bed gasification considers both hydrodynamic and kinetic parameters, as well as a kinetic model that considers the change in the combustion reaction rate of biomass with oxygen leading to a change in temperature. Due to the complexity and detail of all these models, it was necessary to use FORTRAN subroutines and iterative Excel macros linked to Aspen PlusTM. Finally, the results of each simulation were validated with data from the model sources, as well as experimental results from the literature.

Tingkah laku ikan sangat diperlukan dalam perikanan tangkap karena dapat dijadikan dasar dalam menilai dan mengembangkan metode penangkapan ikan dan alat penangkapan ikan. Salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi tingkah laku ikan adalah suhu perairan. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui tingkah laku ikan, khususnya ketahanan renang ikan bawal pada suhu yang berbeda. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Januari-Agustus 2019 di laboratorium tingkah laku ikan Departemen Pemanfaatan Sumberdaya Perikanan, Fakultas Perikanan dan Ilmu Kelautan, Institut Pertanian Bogor. Peralatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini akuarium, flume tank, alat tulis, stopwatch, flash disk, kamera, tripod, scoopnet, chiller, heater, pH meter, termometer, timbangan, meteran. Jenis data yang dikumpulkan dalam penelitian ini adalah kecepatan dan ketahanan renang ikan pada air dengan suhu 20°C, 27°C dan 35°C. Penelitian eksperimen diterapkan untuk melihat pengaruh suhu air terhadap ketahanan renang ikan bawal (Colossoma macropomum). Peningkatan frekuensi kibasan sirip ekor ketika ikan berenang pada air bersuhu lebih tinggi diperkirakan tidak terlalu efektif dalam meningkatkan kecepatan renang. Ketahanan renang ikan ketika berenang pada kecepatan 2-3 BL/s menurun dengan adanya peningkatan suhu.
