Published: February 2025

High rates of mental health problems are a growing concern in Malaysia higher education, negatively impacting students’ behaviour. Despite the serious nature of poor mental health, students often do not seek help because of negative behavioural changes. Identifying the youth's past behaviour, demographic culture, personality, moods & emotions and Media Intervention will further in identifying the level of mental health faced by our youth, early detection is important to reduce the risk of mental health issues amongst them. Recent mental health research reports that self-efficacy is associated with better mental health and reduced negative behavioural change. However, relationships between those constructs remain to be evaluated among youth in Malaysia. This study aims to appraise the relationships between mental health problems, self-efficacy and behavioural change in this population. An opportunity sample of 201 students from a public university completed questionnaires regarding these constructs. Correlation, regression, and path analyses were conducted. Mental health problems were positively associated with self-efficacy and behavioural change. Findings suggest self-efficacy is essential for mental health in Malaysian youth and is associated with negative.

Published: February 2025

The study on the possible use of calcined chicken eggshells as a biosorbent
for copper ions removal from aqueous solutions, as well as some comparisons
between raw and calcined eggshells, are presented in this paper. SEM-EDS and
FTIR analysis of the calcined chicken eggshell samples were performed. In
addition, the DTA-TGA analysis on raw chicken eggshells was performed. The
influence of various process parameters, such as solution pH, stirring rate,
biosorbent mass and Cu2+ concentration, was investigated. The kinetic
analysis using four different empirical kinetic models was performed. The
equilibrium analysis was done using the Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin
isotherm models. The process was optimized using the Response Surface
Methodology based on the Box-Behnken Design (RSM-BBD). The obtained results
are compared to our previous study on raw eggshells as a biosorbent for Cu2+
removal, in order to determine the justification for biosorbent modification
(i.e. the calcination of raw eggshells).

Objective: Evaluate how model-based parameters of β-cell function change with glucose-lowering treatment and associate with glycemic deterioration in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Research Design and Methods: In the GRADE Study, β-cell function parameters derived from mathematical modeling of oral glucose tolerance tests were assessed at baseline (N=4712), 1, 3, and 5 years following randomization to insulin glargine, glimepiride, liraglutide, or sitagliptin, added to baseline metformin. Parameters included insulin secretion rate (ISR), glucose sensitivity (insulin response to glucose), rate sensitivity (early insulin response), and potentiation. Linear mixed-effects models compared changes across treatments. Cox proportional hazards and Classification and Regression Tree (CART) analyses evaluated associations between model parameters and glycemic failure (HbA1c >7.5%; 58.5 mmol/mol).

Results: At year 1, β-cell function parameters increased variably across treatments, but subsequently declined for all treatments. Statistically significant changes were noted. Liraglutide led to the greatest increases in ISR, glucose sensitivity and potentiation, remaining above baseline at study end. Sitagliptin improved glucose sensitivity with modest effects on other parameters. Glimepiride temporarily increased ISR and rate sensitivity but minimally increased glucose sensitivity or potentiation. Rate sensitivity increased most with glargine. Higher β-cell function parameters were protective against glycemic deterioration, but treatment did not alter the relationship between these parameters and glycemic outcomes.

Conclusions: Common glucose-lowering medications impact different physiologic components of β-cell function in T2D. Regardless of treatment modality, lower β-cell function associated with early glycemic failure, and β-cell function progressively declined after initial improvement.

The fourteenth part of the series on the distributions of vascular plants in the Czech Republic includes grid maps of 103 taxa in the genera Achnatherum, Adonis, Consolida, Corallorhiza, Cypripedium, Dianthus, Glaux, Inula, Juncus, Laser, Linum, Mahonia, Malaxis, Mercurialis, Nassella, Ononis, Pseudorchis, Pyracantha, Rosa, Rubus, Sagina, Samolus, Smyrnium, Spiranthes, Stipa and Traunsteinera. These maps were produced by taxonomic experts based on examined herbarium specimens, literature and field records. The spectrum of taxa includes various ecological groups. Rare habitat specialists are represented by the halophytes Glaux maritima, Juncus gerardii and Samolus valerandi, psammophytes Dianthus arenarius subsp. bohemicus and Stipa borysthenica, petrophytes Dianthus gratianopolitanus, D. lumnitzeri and D. moravicus and the serpentinophyte Dianthus carthusianorum subsp. capillifrons. Additional rare and declining species are among orchids, weeds of arable land, and plants of dry grasslands, thermophilous oak forests and subalpine habitats. Three of the included taxa are Czech endemics (Dianthus arenarius subsp. bohemicus, D. carthusianorum subsp. sudeticus and D. moravicus) and two subendemics, with ranges extending into bordering countries (Dianthus carthusianorum subsp. capillifrons and Rubus brdensis). Altogether, half of the mapped taxa are on the national Red List. Alien species are also represented in this paper. The previously introduced neophytes Mahonia aquifolium, Pyracantha coccinea, Sagina apetala and Smyrnium perfoliatum have started to spread in recent decades. Nassella tenuissima has begun to escape from cultivation. In contrast, some formerly more common weeds of arable land have been declining in recent decades. Spatial distributions and often also temporal dynamics of individual taxa are shown in maps and documented by records included in the Pladias database and available in the Supplementary materials. The maps are accompanied by comments that include additional information on the distribution, habitats, taxonomy and biology of the taxa.

Authors: Arfandi Arfandi , Djaddang Syahril
Published: February 2025

An external auditor must examine the company's performance as reported in the financial accounts, particularly if it is a publicly traded corporation. To indicate and illustrate the company's capacity to sustain business continuity, auditors can provide a going concern audit opinion, which stakeholders can use as information when making decisions. The Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach is used in this study. The two primary sources of current research literature that may be used to categorize the factors that impact the acceptability of going concern audit opinions are internal and external considerations. Internal elements that measure the financial performance produced by the organization as a result of management performance include governance, real activity manipulation (RAM), and financial measurements like profitability, liquidity, leverage, or solvency. External variables include the reputation and quality of the auditor, opinion shooping, and financial circumstances that result in financial difficulties brought on by difficult or natural forces like the COVID-19 pandemic.

Authors: Nugraha Trisna , Susanti Evi
Published: February 2025

The importance of teachers' thinking and practices in designing 21st-century student-centered learning has garnered increasing attention. Teachers are expected to possess the ability to create innovative and responsive instructional designs that cater to students' needs. This skill development must begin during teacher training programs. This study aims to analyze the reflections of prospective elementary teachers on the development of their pedagogical competencies through video-based lesson analysis (VBLA) as an initial part of lesson study. Using a descriptive qualitative research approach, the study involved 159 pre-service elementary teachers. Data were collected through instructional video screenings, observation sheets, questionnaires, and group discussions. The findings reveal that 6% of the participants demonstrated in-depth analysis, while 52% provided general yet less detailed evaluations. A key weakness identified was the lack of variation in teaching methods, with suggested solutions such as the use of deeper questioning to stimulate student discussions. This study emphasizes the importance of strengthening prospective teachers' metacognitive skills, particularly in conducting critical and reflective analysis, identifying instructional weaknesses, and redesigning lessons based on critical reflection. The integration of VBLA in teacher education is crucial to ensuring that prospective teachers acquire the necessary skills to design effective, student-centered learning.

Authors: Aziz Saddam Al , Suherman  , Dwina Fitrani , Meutia Rani Maulani , Silvia Elvi , Irwandi
Published: February 2025

Mathematics Learning Media courses prepare students to design and use effective media. This research aims to describe unique facts that emerge during lesson study-based microteaching, which is carried out in the context of mathematics learning. This method involves three stages: Plan, Do, and See, which allows students to collaborate and get feedback. Even though micro-teaching is proven to contribute to student skills, observations show that there are challenges, such as low critical and creative thinking skills and errors in carrying out apperception. The research results show that ineffective apperception activities, a lack of creativity in designing media, and students' ability to analyze information critically during learning are obstacles to learning objectives. This research recommends the need for more intensive guidance from lecturers to improve the quality of learning in the future.

Downton Abbey: Englishness as a Commercialized Ideology
Authors: Abdulaziz Mohammed Altamimi Hessah
Published: February 2025

As Fredrick Jameson relies on ideology to dismantle postmodernism, this paper aims to challenge the prevailing understanding of the 21st-century interpretation of ideology. It explores how Downton Abbey (2010) expands our understanding of Englishness in the 21st century, how Marx’s commodity fetishism aids in interpreting the English identity, and how Englishness differs from nationalism. The significance of the study lies in its potential to broaden our understanding of Englishness in the 21st century, to examine the differences between Englishness and nationalism within a Marxist framework, and to challenge the familiar perspective of ideology as a commodity fetishism. It employs a Marxist theoretical framework, focusing on three main concepts: commodity fetishism, simulacrum, and imagined community, concluding that the portrayal of Englishness is understood as a commercially driven and ideologically influenced phenomenon. The paper recommends investigating the commodification of nationalism in political products, owing to the conflicts among community members vulnerable to the identity crisis dilemma

Published: February 2025

The stern tube bearings, which serve as supports for the propeller shafts of the ship's shafting are examined and studied. The main geometric and mechanical parameters of stern tube bearings are indicated. It is noted that the choice of material and geometric dimensions of stern tube bearings, in addition to the operating conditions of the vessel, are taken on the basis of the requirements of regulatory documents and taking into account the results of static and dynamic calculations when designing a ship shafting and its auxiliary elements. A static calculation of a beam of length L is carried out in relation to ship shafting. It is noted that the operating condition of the shaft line and the entire ship's power plant depends on the gap between the facing layers of the propeller shaft and the antifriction material of the stern bearing, which increases when the latter wears out. To carry out static calculations, the initial parameters method is used. Based on the boundary conditions of the beam under study, a system of inhomogeneous equations is obtained. A general approach to the static calculation of a beam is presented, which rests on hinged supports offset relative to the beam axis by an amount Δ. It is indicated that the displacement of the supports relative to the beam axis models the amount of wear of the antifriction material of the stern tube bearing. Based on the results obtained, an assessment of the influence of stern tube bearing wear on the stress state of the shafting and on the load on the support bearings is provided. The fracture shape of the propeller shaft during torsional vibrations is presented. It is indicated that dynamic calculations for transverse and torsional vibrations are the final and verification stage in the design of a ship shafting and its auxiliary elements.
Features of marine diesel engines closed cooling systems

Published: February 2025

The article considers the urgent task of increasing the efficiency of operation of traditional dual-circuit cooling systems of marine diesel engines using closed external circuits with the rejection of the flow-through system of sea water. There are different methods that allow using closed external cooling systems, which mainly differ in the method of removing heat from the coolant of the internal cooling circuit. The presented main types of cooling systems with an external closed circuit differ in their design. The area of vessel operation can be a decisive factor in choosing a suitable option from the types of cooling systems with a closed external circuit presented. The main types of marine cooling systems with a closed external circuit are analyzed, which differ in composition and operating principle. An overview of the advantages and disadvantages of each system shows the directions in which it is possible to work on improvement during such modernization of cooling systems. The principles of technical solutions adopted in the development of basic diagrams of cooling systems with a closed external circuit are presented. The possibility of using a new type of cooling systems based on the principle of abandoning the external circuit with the expansion of the functionality of the internal circuit in the design and modernization of marine cooling systems is considered, especially for certain areas of vessel operation. A cooling system with heat removal into the air is proposed. Closed cooling systems ensure environmental safety, since during their operation there is no discharge of wear products of ship parts and other harmful materials, such as fuel and oil, together with seawater into the open water area.
Using sliding steam pressure in the main steam pipeline to improve the economic performance of the nuclear icebreaker power plant
Authors: Korolev Vladimir Il'ich , Lebedev Anatoliy Ivanovich
Published: February 2025

When maneuvering a nuclear power plant of nuclear icebreakers in the Arctic ice, a functional separation of the power produced by the reactor unit with the power of the electric propulsion system is implemented, which is associated with the formation of an operational reserve of power for maneuvering. Due to the lack of clear regulation of the optimal operational reserve of maneuvering power, the choice of its value is random, which depends on the intuitive opinion of the skipper and the experience of the skipper. Overestimating the operational capacity for maneuvering increases the intensity of nuclear fuel burnout on this particular segment of the nuclear icebreaker's journey. From the point of view of the atomic mechanical service of a nuclear icebreaker, the reactor power requested by the skipper should be minimized, however, this contradicts the requirement of the skippers, who require an increased operational reserve of power for maneuver safety. To smooth out this contradiction, it is proposed to use sliding steam pressure in the main steam pipeline for short-term maneuvers of nuclear icebreakers. It is noted that the sliding steam pressure in the steam pipeline is already used at thermal power plants, thermal power plants and nuclear power plants, while various tasks are being solved, including saving fuel, increasing equipment reliability, etc. Nuclear icebreakers solve a specific task to reduce the burnout of nuclear fuel during maneuvering by minimizing the operational reserve of maneuvering power, which determines the number of removable cores in the reactor, which is the most expensive part for a nuclear icebreaker to replace. The methodological aspects of the application of sliding steam pressure in the main steam pipeline are considered and a method for estimating the effects obtained for a short-term increase in the power of the rowing electric installation is developed. The calculations were performed for the nuclear icebreaker project 10521. It is indicated that the proposed estimation methodology can be used for any other nuclear-powered vessel projects.

Boiling processes are widespread in the modern world. In refrigeration equipment, the most commonly used type of boiling is forced convection, in particular, when a two-phase flow occurs inside pipes. A characteristic feature of this type is that the intensity of heat exchange in it depends not only on the heat flow, liquid properties and pressure, but also on the hydrodynamic structure of the flow. The latter in turn depends on the liquid properties, pressure, pipe location (angle of the axis to the horizon), forced circulation rate, steam content in the flow, pipeline diameter, and the presence of intensifiers. One way to increase the intensity of teheat exchange is to include intensifiers in the design, the presence of which can significantly reduce the size of heat exchange equipment, provide greater thermal efficiency and, possibly, reduce operating costs and manufacturing costs. The inclusion of a swirled tape insert in a pipeline is considered, presents a mathematical model of the distribution of forces acting on a unit of liquid moving in a horizontal pipe with a swirled tape insert – an intensifier. The minimum degree of swirling of the tape turbulator along the pipeline length is calculated, the boundaries of the flow regimes (slug, wave, transitional, stratified) of the vapor-liquid mixture inside the pipeline with a swirled tape insert are determined. The results of the minimum degree of swirling of tape turbulators for the values of mass velocities ω = 25, 50, 100 kg/(m2·s) are presented. An analysis of the correspondence of graphical dependencies to the physical representation of the process of movement of the vapor-liquid mixture in a horizontal pipeline with a tape turbulator is carried out.
Decálogo para una narrativa alternativa sobre las migraciones

¿Cómo hablar de inmigración en un contexto de creciente polarización? ¿Qué decir para evitar que los postulados de la extrema derecha se apropien del discurso? ¿Cómo ir más allá de los argumentos puramente reactivos? ¿Cómo explicar la complejidad sin perderse por el camino?

A modo de decálogo, a partir de diez afirmaciones, esta Nota Internacional aborda todas estas cuestiones. No ofrece recetas, pero sí recoge reflexiones, señala dilemas y apunta a posibles alternativas. Todo ello con el objetivo de pensar conjuntamente una cuestión tan fundamental –para todos y para nuestras democracias– como la forma en que queremos seguir hablando sobre inmigración.
Coverage of Child Disability Detection, Management, and Rehabilitation Health Services in Central Uganda
Authors:   Gudie University Project, Katongole Simon
Published: February 2025

Background: Child disability is a significant public health concern which impacts 1 in 20 children. Children with disabilities (CwDs) encounter deprivation of rights, biases in society, and a lack of access to necessary services, all of which are exacerbated by structural obstacles. This study assessed the coverage of child disability prevention, management and rehabilitation services in four districts of Central Uganda after two years of interventions to improve these services.
Methods: The Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) rapid health facility assessment method was employed to assess coverage of services based on sixteen indicators. The indicators were set based on constructs of: provision of disability-related services to CwDs; use of rehabilitation services; readiness of the health facilities (HFs) to provide basic disability management and rehabilitation services; community structures for linkage to disability management and rehabilitation services; psychosocial support provision; and upholding and protecting the rights of CwDs. A district-level decision rule was set based on 80% coverage target.
Results: Despite the interventions, the services have yet to provide the desired level of benefit to CwDs and their caregivers. Out of the sixteen indicators for healthcare service coverage for CwDs, only three attained the 80% coverage target.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that greater focus by health service planners and project implementers is still needed, especially at the community and health facility levels to enhance the prevention, management and rehabilitation of CwDs. Psychosocial
Potential control measures for Fusarium wilt in tomato for sustainable agriculture–impacts of nitrogen compounds and culture media on Fusarium

Fusarium oxysporum is one of the most common soil-dwelling pathogens that causes wilt on tomato crops. There is a plethora of literature on Fusarium, but comparatively fewer studies exist when it comes down to Fusarium and tomato together. Different experimental models on tomato infestation with Fusarium were tried. Three nitrogen compounds: KNO3, (NH4)2 SO4 and Urea, and three media: Malt Extract Agar, Potato Dextrose Agar and V8 were used in this study. Concentrations of each of the three nitrogen compounds were varied by preparing solutions of 0.5 g/L, 1.0 g/L and 1.5 g/L of each compound. Radial growth is measured in mm while mass is determined in mg. V8 medium was found to be the best medium for the growth as compared to tested media. The best nitrogen source for the growth of the isolate was potassium nitrate. The optimum temperature for the growth of the fungus was found to be in the range of 25–30.
Constructing Careers ‘in Chaos’. Exploring Career Progress of Expatriates and Repatriates on Career Ladder or Career Lattice Pathways
Authors: Valk Reimara
Published: February 2025

This article explores expatriate and repatriate career progress on career ladder and lattice paths through the theoretical lenses of career construction theory, chaos theory of careers and the career ladder versus career lattice model. The research method is an exploratory, qualitative study, using purposive sampling and snowball sampling techniques. 78 interviews were conducted with expatriates and repatriates originating from countries across the globe. Findings reveal that respondents had multidirectional global careers, shifting from linear, hierarchical career ladder paths to non-linear, unpredictable career lattice paths on which they made career progress. This paper contributes to the international HRD literature by providing insight into the different meanings of career progress of expatriates and repatriates on diversified, multidirectional, dynamic career paths that continually evolve across the lifespan. A limitation of this study was that it relied on self-reports of expatriates and repatriates regarding their career pathways and career progress. Future research should incorporate data triangulation by a multi-actor and a multi-source approach to gain insights into constructing global career paths to facilitate expatriate and repatriate career progress. Implications for practice are the integration of individual career mastery with organizational career path planning to enable expatriates’ and repatriates’ career progress on multidirectional career pathways.
