Literature as Enlightenment in Edhem Mulabdic’s Works
Authors: Alić Nedim
Published: June 2022

This paper analyses Edhem Mulabdić’s novels Zeleno busenje (1898) and Nova vremena (1914), and his collection of short stories, Na obali Bosne (1900). These texts played a pivotal role in economic, educational and social progress and interculturality among Bosnians. Mulabdić’s literary works strive to bring together “heart and mind” – East and West – and to affirm intercultural understanding through collaboration with other South Slavic peoples. Mulabdić promoted the Bosnian language, universal ethical values, the idea of emancipation through education, and the re-contextualisation of Islamic teachings, and his ideas strongly influenced the wider community.

Contested and Uncontested Religious Landscape Markers
Authors: Muhaj Ardian , Beqa Mentor
Published: June 2022

This paper analyses the relationship between the “politics of religious symbolism” and thephysical landscape of post-communist Albania. It examines the proliferation of crosses on highly visible peaks, especially in Northern Albania where both Muslims and Catholics live. The paper combines qualitative and quantitative methods to understand the basis of this phenomenon, and conducts field interviews to reveal the exclusivist nature of Catholicism as its main driving factor. While most Catholics believe this exclusivity is their right, many Muslims feel provoked by attitudes they describe as offensive. Although the phenomenon has been marginalised from national public debate under the auspices of “religious tolerance”, the tension it has created is very much present.
Oil Price Uncertainty and M&A Activity
Authors: Barrows Samuel D. , Blomkvist Magnus , Dimic Nebojsa , Vulanovic Milos
Published: June 2022

This study examines the impact of oil price uncertainty on mergers and acquisition (M&A) activity in the oil and gas sector. Analyzing this industry enables us to construct a natural forward-looking measure of oil price uncertainty, namely the implied crude oil volatility. Using a sample of U.S. firms in the oil and gas sector from 1994–2018 containing 4,323 announced transactions, we document that oil price uncertainty is negatively related to future M&A activity. Uncertainty is mainly a driver of horizontal and vertical M&A activity, where upstream firms are more affected by this uncertainty than downstream firms. Our results lend support to a real options explanation of investment under uncertainty where firms choose to defer investments as a response to increased uncertainty.
Palm Oil Plantation in Indonesia: A Question of Sustainability
Authors: Indriyadi Wahyu
Published: June 2022

The soaring price of cooking oil and the shortage of supply in Indonesia since December 2021 have brought the Indonesian palm oil industry back into the spotlight. Indonesia is one of the largest palm oil producers in the world. Although oil palm plantations are recognized as having a major role in alleviating poverty in Indonesia, there is a lot of controversy surrounding the Indonesian palm oil industry, both in terms of poverty alleviation itself and in terms of environmental damage it caused. Using exploratory qualitative method, this paper argues that the palm oil industry controversy stem from different eco-centric and technocentric views of producer and importer countries on how to achieve sustainable agriculture. Using Indonesia as a case, the results shows that arguing palm oil’s role in alleviating poverty and efforts in reducing environmental impact in Indonesia is not enough to quell palm oil industry controversies. The existing sustainability certification system such as RSPO and ISPO are seen as a technocentric solution that is ineffective and inadequate, whereas eco-centric unclear concept of sustainability and the complexity of the palm oil industry production chain is seen as contradictive. The results shows Indonesia needs to further strengthen its perspective on sustainability with more openness of data and improvement of systems in order to overcome the polarization of the narrative that has grown distrust of the palm oil industry. Negative sentiment toward the palm oil industry will not only harm Indonesia's socio-economic status but can also harm the environment, because importing countries may have to abandon palm oil even though they yet have an alternative that is more sustainable than palm oil.
Mesh Moving Methods in Flow Computations with the Space–Time and Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian Methods
Authors: Takizawa Kenji , Bazilevs Yuri , Tezduyar Tayfun E.
Published: June 2022

A good mesh moving method is an important part of ﬂow computations with moving-mesh methods like the space–time (ST) and Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) methods. With a good mesh moving method, we can decrease the remeshing frequency even when the ﬂuid–solid and ﬂuid–ﬂuid interfaces undergo large displacements, decrease the element distortion in parts of the ﬂow domain where we care about the solution accuracy more, and maintain the quality of the boundary layer meshes near the ﬂuid–solid interfaces as the mesh moves to follow those interfaces. Since 1990, quite a few good mesh moving methods have been developed for use with the ST computational methods, from the mesh Jacobian-based stiﬀening to a mesh moving method based on fiber-reinforced hyperelasticity to a linear-elasticity mesh moving method with no cycle-to-cycle accumulated distortion. These methods have been used in computation of many complex ﬂow problems in the categories of ﬂuid–particle interaction, ﬂuid–structure interaction, and more generally, moving boundaries and interfaces. The computations were with both the ST and ALE methods. We provide an overview of these methods and present examples of the computations performed.This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium provided the original work is properly cited.
Conocimiento y uso de los verificadores de datos: ¿una herramienta para la regeneración de la autoridad periodística en un entorno polarizado?
Authors: Almenar Ester , Puertas Graell David , Ruiz Caballero Carlos , Suau Jaume , Masip Pere
Published: June 2022

El principio de autoridad en el periodismo se articula en torno a conceptos centrales como objetividad, verificación y distancia/neutralidad (Schudson, 1978; Kovach y Rosenstiel, 2007; Deuze, 2005). En el nuevo orden de desinformación en el que se cuestiona la autoridad del periodismo, los verificadores de datos (en inglés, fact-checkers) se presentan como un posible antídoto (Walter et al., 2020). Este estudio presenta resultados acerca de las percepciones de los ciudadanos sobre la autoridad periodística y el papel y el conocimiento en general sobre los verificadores. Basados en una encuesta nacional (n = 1001) representativa del conjunto de la población, nuestros hallazgos muestran que el 50,5% de los encuestados manifiestan desconocer qué son los verificadores de datos y el 15,2% sabe qué son pero reconocen no usarlos nunca. Solo el 4,1% los utiliza de forma habitual. Nuestros datos apuntan hacia un hallazgo relevante: en un sistema de medios altamente polarizado como el español, los verificadores de hechos difícilmente pueden combatir eficazmente la propagación de la desinformación. Su papel debe articularse en el marco de una estrategia de lucha contra la desinformación más amplia que conduzca a una recuperación de la confianza en el periodismo.
Enhanced photocatalytic activity of ZnO nanostructures deposited on mesh through electrochemical deposition and thermal oxidation
Authors: AIEMPANAKIT Chantana , PHANTAPORN Thongchai , AIEMPANAKIT Kamon
Published: June 2022

This article reported that the properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures were modified by the thermal oxidation process at different temperatures in the range of 200℃ to 600℃ for 1 h. The Zn films were deposited on a stainless steel mesh by using the electrochemical deposition technique. The elemental composition of Zn and O was exhibited via energy-dispersed X-ray spectroscopy in which the atomic ratio of O/Zn increased with the increase of oxidation temperature. The results showed that oxidation temperature has a significant effect on the morphological and crystal structure. The nanosheet structure of the as-deposited film transferred to the intermixing of porous nanosheet and urchin-like structure at the oxidation temperature of 600℃ while the crystallinities of mixing Zn and ZnO were improved to only ZnO when increasing the oxidation temperature. ZnO films were tested for photocatalytic activity in methylene blue under various ultraviolet irradiation times. The best condition of ZnO for photocatalytic activity was an oxidation temperature of 600℃ with the highest crystallinity and surface area that showed the highest decomposition rate and percentage degradation of 8.150 ´ 10-3 min-1 and 74.06%, respectively.
Effects of sputtering power of Ti films on morphology of TiO2 nanotubes synthesized via anodization process
Authors: JUNBANG Pathomporn , AIEMPANAKIT Chantana , AIEMPANAKIT Kamon
Published: June 2022

In this paper, we aimed to find the sputtering power most suitable for fabricating anodized TiO2 nanotubes (TNTs) with high dimensions (diameter and length). TNTs were synthesized via anodization of Ti films deposited on a glass substrate at varying sputtering power from 50 W to 200 W. The properties of Ti films such as crystallinity, residual stress, and roughness were investigated, which affected the morphology of TNTs. Sputtering power levels of 150 W and 200 W were suitable for TNTs formation via the anodization process in NH4F concentrations from 1.0 wt% to 2.5 wt% due to the increased density and crystallinity of Ti films. Boosting the sputtering power to 200 W increases the roughness of the surface, resulting in a decrease in tube diameter and length. Increasing the sputtering power to 200 W also causes the residual stress of the film to be converted from compression to tensile stress, which allows for more TNTs structures to be formed on the film. Nanotubes fabricated on 150 W sputtered films have been proven to be superior to those fabricated at 200 W in every NH4F concentration in terms of length and diameter. Thus, they are more suitable for applications.

Authors: CHAISAKULKIET Udomvit , MAKARATAT Nattapong , RUKZON Sumrerng
Published: June 2022

This research presents a study of bottom ash for using as fine and coarse aggregates in concrete, B-F and B-C, respectively. Results of compressive strength and durability of the concrete containing B-F and B-C aggregates were investigated. Normal fine and coarse aggregates were replaced with the B-F and B-C aggregates at 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% by weight of the normal aggregates. The results showed that the compressive strengths of the concretes were increased when the B-F and B-C aggregates were used at replacement levels of 25% and 50%. The water absorption and chloride resistances of the concretes were reduced with curing age. Moreover, it was found that the use of B-F and B-C aggregates in concretes effectively improved the compressive strength and the chloride resistances at low replacement levels of 25 and 50%.
Thermodynamic determination of optimal conditions for growing Si1-xGex crystals from a tin solution on a silicon substrate
Authors: RAZZOKOV Alijon Shonazarovich , ESHCHANOV Khushnudbek Odilbekovich
Published: June 2022

Thermodynamic calculations have been carried out for growing crystalline Si1-xGex solid solution epitaxial films on Si<100> and Si<111> substrates from a tin solution-melt by liquid-phase epitaxy. Nanoclusters are thought to be involved in crystal growth. To determine the optimal conditions for obtaining a Si1-xGex crystal from a Si-Ge-Sn solution system, we focused on the change in Gibbs energy and the size of the nanoclusters involved in crystal formation. On this basis, a film with a thickness of 5 µm to 8 µm was experimentally obtained in the temperature range from Тc.s.=1135 K (crystallization start temperature) to Тc.t.=1023 K (crystallization termination temperature). It was also possible to reduce the dislocation density at the substrate-film boundary (up to 3 ´ 104 cm-2) and along the growth direction (film surfaces up to 8 ´ 103 cm-2). A method of thermodynamic prediction for obtaining semiconductor structures has been developed.

Published: June 2022

In soda-lime glass manufacturing, evaporation of volatile compounds from glass melt is the origin of the dust emission from glass tank furnace. The exhausted dust then is deposited on the regenerator and is needed to be removed. Thus, this study focuses on using the dust from melting glass in glass production. The glass batches were prepared from 0 wt% to 10 wt% of the exhausted dust from soda-lime glass production as a substitution of the total raw materials. The analysis of phase and chemical composition of the dust by x-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and x-ray fluorescence technique (XRF) indicated that it consisted mainly sodium sulphate. Thermal analysis (TG/DSC) revealed that the addition of exhausted dust reduced the temperature of the melting reaction of the glass batches. The optimum amount of the exhausted dust, which made it possible to obtain the glass with the lowest number of remaining bubbles, was 2 wt%. From CIE lab and dilatometry results revealed that up to 2 wt% replacement of total raw materials by the exhausted dust in the glass batch did not affect the glass color, thermal expansion coefficient, glass transition temperature and dilatometric softening point of glass samples.

Desenhos livres com estórias e cenas lúdicas na psicoterapia infantil on-line
Authors: Affonso Rosa Maria Lopes , Teixeira Thais
Published: June 2022

Partimos do pressuposto que a representação da cena lúdica no atendimento infantil fornece indicadores de maturidade cognitiva e colabora no diagnóstico e na intervenção psicoterápica on-line ou não. Foram analisados 20 desenhos livres de crianças de 5 a 14 anos atendidas em psicoterapia infantil on-line, identificando a presença ou ausência de cenas. Por cena lúdica entendemos a representação no desenho de uma paisagem, de uma situação ou contexto, onde os elementos do desenho mantêm uma relação entre si expressando uma organização de espaço característico do conceito de realismo, segundo a teoria do desenvolvimento do desenho. Os resultados indicam que a presença de cenas na expressão das crianças, além de facilitar a intervenção do clínico fornecem elementos de compreensão sobre os seus conflitos facilitando o estudo sobre o campo de elaboração afetiva na psicoterapia breve.

Ao migrarem para o Brasil, os italianos encontraram diferenças culturais que provocaram em instituições italianas, como algumas congregações religiosas, ações para atender as necessidades daquele povo. Esse artigo visa mostrar a contribuição de algumas congregações religiosas vindas da Itália durante o processo migratório no estado do Paraná no século XIX, a fim de entender seu papel na educação e na manutenção da cultura italiana para os imigrantes, a partir de uma revisão bibliográfica apoiada em referenciais como: Caira (2009), Kreutz (2010), Maschio (2012), Motin (2015), Poletto (2014) e Scarpim (2015) – que tratam da vinda e instalação dos italianos. É fundamental para a História da Educação considerar a inserção das instituições escolares que foram criadas e conduzidas por religiosas vindas da Itália com essa finalidade, e que se fazem presentes e relevantes ainda hoje em nosso território, impactando tanto na educação quanto na nossa cultura.
Materialismo histórico-dialético e a transformação da realidade
Authors: Bressan Édio Luís , Brzezinski Iria
Published: June 2022

O objeto deste artigo é o Materialismo Histórico-Dialético. O problema de pesquisa é analisar a possibilidade de esse método transformar a realidade. O objetivo é discutir a dialética como método, que busca a transformação da realidade. A pesquisa é bibliográfica e realizada com base nas ideias de teóricos que refletiram sobre os aspectos históricos do Materialismo Dialético. Os conceitos básicos desse método fundamentaram a pesquisa. Investigaram-se os contextos históricos, a arte do diálogo, as contradições e as ideias no interior da mente humana. No platonismo, a teologia condenou a dialética. Na Idade Moderna, a dialética foi considerada inútil. No Renascimento a organização democrática, desenvolveu a plenitude do homem. Foram analisadas, também, a dialética, a concepção de homem, de sociedade e de relações de produção.  A práxis definida como a verdade sobre a realidade expressa nas ações dos homens, que transformam e produzem a própria história. A teoria e a prática tornam-se indissociáveis. A totalidade, o movimento, a qualidade e a luta dos contrários são conceitos dialéticos construídos nas relações sociais. As categorias da dialética são inacabadas e foram desenvolvidas na ciência moderna. A fidelidade do pesquisador conduz a pesquisa para atingir a estrutura do objeto. O método dialético suscita a realização de pesquisas que vislumbrem a transformação da realidade, por meio de mudanças reais e conscientes.

Evolução do relacionamento entre a alta administração e média gerência em um processo de implementação estratégica no contexto da crise do COVID-19
Authors: Machado Livia Aquino , Bernardes Maria Elisa Brandão , Vaz Samir Lótfi
Published: June 2022

Objective: The purpose of our study was to investigate how the relationship between top and middle management occurs during a strategy implementation in a crisis context, more specifically the one triggered by Covid-19 virus. Methodology/approach: The approach used was a single, in-depth case study. We adopted a process perspective, which considers the sequence of events and choices made over time, at multiple levels and units of analysis. We analyzed documents and interviewed members of top management, middle management, operational management and two consultants working in the investigated company. We then seek to identify instances of action and interaction where patterns could emerge. Originality/Relevance: There is an increasing number of studies about the role of middle management in the organizations strategic process, but there are still few empirical studies in crisis contexts. This study investigates strategic implementation process during the Covid-19 crisis, shedding light on dynamics of control, relationship and autonomy involving top and middle levels of management. Main results: We identified that the Covid-19 crisis enabled the closer approximation of top management with the middle managers, intensified by Crisis Committee meetings in the organization. The crisis management also catalyzed the process of reducing ambiguities and opening up senior management for the presentation and acceptance of ideas from the middle echelons.Theoretical/methodological contributions: Our findings contribute to the literature on crises, revealing both the process of strengthening relationships between top and middle managers, as well as the building content from the contributions of the middle managers, which can lead to a superior result. We also endorse the impacts of the facilitating conditions proposed by Mantere (2008) based on the work of Floyd Wooldridge (1992), even in the context of crisis. We also endorsed the proposals by Macpherson, Breslin and Akinci (2021) on the role of middle managers as connectors for initiatives in extreme situations that, otherwise, would not have visibility. Social contributions / for practice: For practice, we launch additional clues in favor of greater openness of top managers for the participation of middle managers in the implementation and strategic adaptation, even in a context of crisis. Similarly, we demonstrated that extreme crisis contexts are prone to rethink interorganizational structures and relationships, aiming at the renewal of management strategies and roles.

ON THE IMPORTANT MEANING OF BIO-LIQUID DYNAMIC
VISCOSITY VARIATIONS IN THE LUBRICATION FLOWS
Authors: Wierzcholski Krzysztof , Gospodarczyk Jacek
Published: June 2022

The main topic of this paper refers to the numerous relations between the decrements of the dynamic viscosity
of non-Newtonian bio-liquid lubricated human joints on the one hand and, on the other hand, with consequences
resulting from various diseases such as low fitness and low skills of human limbs, joint unfitness, large wear
of cooperating cartilage bio-surfaces. Additionally, this paper indicates the pharmacology methods performed
in vivo to enhance the bio-liquid lubricant dynamic viscosity. After numerous experimental measurements,
it directly follows that the collagen fibre, hyaluronate acid particle, power hydrogen ion concentration pH in
lubricating bio-liquid and absorbability features of lubricated bio-surface have a direct and indirect significant
influence on the bio-liquid dynamic viscosity values variations with interfacial energy distribution across
the film thickness. The results presented in this paper are confirmed based on experimental measurements
and analytical, numerical solutions of the load-carrying capacity, friction coefficient and bio-liquid dynamic
variations performed for various human joints. These effects were simply disregarded in previous studies.
The aforementioned problem has not been considered in contemporary research literature in the medical
tribology domain to the Author's best knowledge. The results obtained should enable one to introduce more
effective and accurate therapeutic protocols into the human joint treatment regimen. The results obtained have
applications on a wide scale in spatiotemporal models in bio-tribology, biology and health science.

A Qualitative Review of Learning Methods in Exhibition Design Course
Authors: Satriaji Kukuh Rizki , Alfin Eljihadi
Published: June 2022

The Interior Design Study Program of Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia focuses primarily on design education. The main objectives of this study are teaching how to design and educating designers to be professional. The exhibition design course is an elective course and uses a student-centered learning method. This method is usually adopted to improve student participation. Active student participation is a major element in almost every learning process. This course not only provides knowledge about the ins and outs of exhibition design, but also invites students to solve problems through given assignments. Each assignment is unique and forces the student to role-play as a stakeholder around an exhibition, such as a designer, visitor, content creator, decision maker, etc., to provide different points of view. The student is asked to see the problem from different angles and produce optimal solutions based on their skills and knowledge. The present study was based on observation of the process and results of Exhibition Design courses from two semesters in 2021, during the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on the assignment results and their evaluation, it is shown that this approach can generate student participation and improve the students’ understanding of the subject. The students were always curious about what would happen in the next lecture. All students showed positive learning experiences throughout the course. The general concept of this learning method could be implemented to varying degrees in other courses in interior design schools.
A Study of the Non-Visual Factors of Cars Affecting the Consumer’s Cognitive Appeal
Authors: Singh Jitender , Ahuja Parth , Sarkar Prabir
Published: June 2022

The success of a car in the market depends on visual as well as non-visual factors. Both these sets of factors influence the cognitive appeal of cars for potential buyers. Purchasing a car is not only about economic choices but also related to emotional, aesthetic, sensory responses to driving, kinship patterns, habitation, sociability, and functionality. This study aimed to identify the major non-visual factors of cars that affect the cognitive perception of buyers and estimate their importance relative to each other. A set of non-visual factors and their sub-factors were identified through a literature search and an open-ended survey among car owners. Many of the sub-factors had the same meaning and therefore these factors were grouped under twenty separate sub-factors. Then, these twenty sub-factors were analyzed by using the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) approach to evaluate the most influential sub-factors among the identified sub-factors. Six designers were involved in the analysis of the sub-factors through the DEMATEL approach.

Published: June 2022

The article raises the problem of physical education classes with students who have a low level of functional fitness and development of motor abilities. The low level of physical and technical training of applicants negatively affects the further process of continuous training in physical culture at the university. The analysis of scientific and edu- cational literature, the data of empirical research, allows us to consider the simultaneous pedagogical influence on the education of two or more physical qualities and abilities as one of the ways to improve the health of the younger generation. The author substantiates the need for coupled pedagogical influences as a factor that allows, with a lim- ited time of classes, to simultaneously solve tasks to increase the level of technical and physical perfection. The use of the developed and tested methodology of simultaneous conjugate exposure places high demands on the teacher’s professional knowledge and competencies. The author comes to the conclusion that the purposeful and systematic application of the method of conjugate exposure contributes to a significant increase in the level of functional readi- ness of students.

Authors: Vieira Bruno Vasconcelos Borges
Published: June 2022

O atendimento pediátrico, visto em diversos hospitais públicos e privados, assimcomo em clínicas, é precário. A falta de pediatras assim como outros empecilhos que impedem um diagnóstico eficaz e de qualidade para os pacientes pediátricos, forçam plantonistas, muitas vezes médicos recém-formados e/ou clínicos gerais ao dilema: como atender um paciente em que é necessárias uma abordagem completamente diferente do paciente adulto?. Existem duas visões que devem ser consideradas: uma envolve a enfermidade dacriança em questão, e a outra é o impacto da mesma sobre a criança e a família. É visto que na pediatria, há uma série de doenças que não apresentam sinais ou sintomas específicos, outras que são completamente assintomáticas, o que requer do médico não só um aspecto amplo para se reconhecer qual enfermidade em questão, mas também empatia e paciência para avaliar a situação e tentarfornecer umatendimento de qualidade,o que muitas vezes não é abordado nas faculdades de medicina. Este trabalho propõe uma visão sobre este dilema, analisando a base de formaçãode tais profissionais, ou seja, como a pediatria é demonstrada e ensinada em algumas universidades paraguaias e brasileiras, desde sua base teórica assim como a prática hospitalar em pacientes que recorreram aos serviços hospitalarios fornecidos por tais instituições.
