Authors:   Universiti Kuala Lumpur, Yahaya Rose Suzila , Madzlan Noor Alhusna ,   Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, Muhammad Mazura ,   Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
Published: March 2022

English is regarded as a second language in Malaysia and is part of the compulsory learning subject in primary and secondary school. However, the learning span of six years in primary school and five years in secondary school does not assure that the students will be able to master their speaking skills. Many of our students are still struggling to speak in English with correct sentence structures and pronunciations. Therefore, this paper aims to discuss the obstacles faced by ESL learners in their speaking skills. Learning perception, anxiety, and social-related problems as well as learning related problems, were the focus of issues discussed in this paper. This study engaged a quantitative approach to collect the data. The online survey, through “Google Form” was used to obtain data from the 196 tertiary level ESL respondents at one of the higher learning institutions in Ipoh. An adapted questionnaire was used for this study. The questionnaire was constructed in the form of a 5-point Likert Scale from which the choices range from strongly agree to strongly disagree. The items on the questionnaire were analyzed using SPSS 26 and the mean score for each item constructed was calculated accordingly. Findings indicated that the respondents experienced interference of L1 when it comes to difficulty in speaking. The respondents also expected the teacher to correct every error that they say and want the teacher to use a variety of methods and latest approaches to teach speaking skills to boost their interest. This study suggests that ESL learners need to be given more motivation to develop their confidence in using the English language and teachers need to be more creative in implementing strategies that stimulate learners’ interest to speak in English.
Japanese Work Style Reformation and its impact on Large Japanese Companies
Authors: Takei Hideki
Published: March 2022

The labor shortage in Japan will be 6.4 million by 2030 due to a continuously declining birth rate and inadequate job opportunities for homemakers, retirees, and foreigners. The shortage will destroy the sustainability of the Japanese economy without prompt action. The Japanese government revised labor laws to let Japanese companies solve the future labor shortage. In 2020, large Japanese companies started following the revised laws. This paper analyzed the Japanese companies' reactions to the enforcement. Based on the analyses, we developed five suggestions that may be challenging but possible for Japanese companies to maintain competitive advantages and operational sustainability.
On the Germanic Element in Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian
Authors: Vanderheide John
Published: March 2022

Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian is prefaced by an epigraph fromseventeenth-century German philosopher and theologian Jacob Boehme and the last chapter heading of the novel is a quotation in German that references as many as three other famous figures in German literature, including twentieth-century writer Thomas Mann. This article investigates the significance of this framing of the novel by Germanic writing. With close readings of Mann and Boehme in particular, I argue that what McCarthy takes from these writers is a dualistic or double-voiced aesthetic that allows him to present to the reader the antithetical sides of America's Germanic or Teutonic heritage, allowing them to render their judgment of it. In Blood Meridian, the historical legacy of American Anglo-Saxonism is ostentatiously evident in the narrative of Indigenous genocide, but so too are divergent or opposing aesthetic and theological legacies of German culture. This includes McCarthy's borrowing of Germanic allegorical techniques, which precipitate out of the narrative material a distinct if obscure meaning that permeates the narrative without controlling or containing it. The Germanic element in Blood Meridian thus speaks to some of the most important of the novel's aesthetic, political, and theological concerns.

Authors: Encarnacion Paloma Marianni Suazo , Garzon Ivan Mauricio Herrera , Martins Carlos José , Lima Ricardo Barbosa , Ferry Fernando Raphael de Almeida
Published: March 2022

Introduction: Molluscum contagiosum is a dermatosis caused by a DNA virus of the family Poxvirus and genus Molluscipoxvirus, affecting mainly children, sexually active adults, atopic individuals and immunocompromised patients, especially those with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Objective: To describe our experience in caring for patients living with HIV who presented with extensive and severe Molluscum contagiosum, and to conduct a literature review on the subject as well. Methods: An electronic search was carried out in the MEDLINE/PubMed and SciELO databases and in the books: ATLAIDS and AZULAY limited to the period of January 2017 to June 2021. Results: Four clinical cases are reported in people living with HIV with extensive lesions normally not found in immunocompetent patients. The treatment performed in the cases reported in this article was the punctual application of 90% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to each lesion, with complete remission of the clinical presentation in two patients over a period of three and six months. The other two patients did not receive treatment for molluscum contagiosum as they died because of pulmonary complications. Conclusion: Infection with Molluscum contagiosum in people living with HIV has disseminated forms with large-volume lesions, with substantial stigmatizing aesthetic impairment, and treatment with 100% TCA is quite effective.

Authors: Krzesiński Paweł , Chodzeńska Zuzanna
Published: March 2022

Konsorcjum naukowe, którego liderem był Wojskowy Instytut Medyczny, zakończyło realizację projektu AMULET, którego celem było wypracowanie sposobu postępowania w poszpitalnej opiece ambulatoryjnej. Wyniki badań klinicznych modelu AMULET wykazały, że zwiększa on szanse pacjentów na regularną opiekę specjalistyczną i umożliwia wczesne wykrywanie objawów zaostrzenia choroby. Teleopieka realizowana w punktach opieki pielęgniarskiej, z wykorzystaniem szczegółowej oceny hemodynamicznej i wsparcia zdalnego kardiologów, wiązała się z 38-proc. zmniejszeniem liczby hospitalizacji z powodu zaostrzenia niewydolności serca w obserwacji rocznej. Również telemonitoring domowy z wykorzystaniem mobilnego rejestratora kardioimpedancyjnego okazał się dobrze akceptowany przez pacjentów i przydatny klinicznie. Kompleksowy model teleopieki stworzony w projekcie AMULET może być jednym ze sposobów zwiększenia dostępu pacjentów z niewydolnością serca do wysokiej jakości opieki medycznej.

Traditionally, the story about the manager in Luke 16:1b-8a is considered a difficult text. Apart from the controversial ending of the text, the details of the story are not easy to understand. Saint Cyril of Alexandria, in his commentary, said that trying to explain the details of the story is useless. The details of the story are taken only to form an allusion to the problem to be conveyed. The effect of neglecting this detail, for centuries, the act of reducing debts carried out by the manager was considered a dishonest act. By using narrative analysis, this article wants to show that reducing debt is not a dishonest act but a prudent act. It is precisely in the act of reducing the debt that the manager's prudence lies in the story.

Authors:   Mount Kenya University, Kigali, Rwanda, Amanya Franklin S. , Njenga Gitahi ,   Mount Kenya University, Kigali, Rwanda
Published: March 2022

The aim of the survey was to understand the relationship between construction delays and cost overrun in Rwanda more specifically in the Regional Cybercrime Center. More specifically, the research addressed the specific objectives of the effect of inexcusable delays, effect of non-compensable delays and examined the effect of compensable delays on the cost overrun of construction of Regional Cybercrime Center. This survey was anchored on the Stakeholder theory and Results Based Management theory. A combination of descriptive and correlation design was used in this study. A population of 45 including procurement officers, logistic officers, budgeting officers, project managers, site engineers, project planners, interior designers, architectures, it managers, it technicians, supervisors and communication technicians in charge of activities regarding construction and other related activities of Regional Cybercrime Center were used. This study adopted a consensus approach and encompassed the whole population as sample size. Questionnaires were distributed and used in collection of data. The questionnaires were tested for validity and reliability and a Cronbach’s Alpha of over 0.70 was recorded. Information analysis encompassed the adoption of descriptive statistics by use of standard deviation and mean while inferential statistics were done using correlation and regression and the findings presented using tables and figures. The findings showed Pearson correlation of 0.773 between inexcusable delays and cost overrun while adjusted R-square of 0.588 showed moderating effect and also analysis of variance found to be significant at less than 0.005. For the correlation coefficient of 0.657 between non-compensable delays and cost overrun while adjusted R-square of 0.418 showed weak effect and also analysis of variance found to be significant. For the correlation coefficient of 0.799 between compensable delays and cost overrun though adjusted R-square of 0.630 showed moderating effect and also analysis of variance found to be significant. From outcomes, the objectives were achieved and the entire null hypotheses were rejected. For project owners to achieve timely completion of construction projects without having to incur extra costs which lead to project cost overruns, financial resources/project budget necessary to execute the project must be fully committed and set aside to avoid incongruities caused by delay in payments.

Published: March 2022

A fermentação de leveduras de diferentes fontes de carboidratos vegetais é uma das tecnologias humanas mais antigas, e suas origens remontam ao período Neolítico. No metabolismo da glicose, mais especificamente na via glicolítica, ocorre uma interação entre genes, enzimas e elementos inorgânicos que estão envolvidos nas principais reações de fermentação, nessas reações, etapas como a glicólise e catabolismo do piruvato são importantes para a produção de energia e reciclagem de NAD, respectivamente. Desta forma, buscou-se realizar uma revisão sistemática acerca do que se encontra na literatura sobre o metabolismo das leveduras em processos fermentativos. Os processos tecnológicos de fermentação podem modificar extensivamente a estrutura dos alimentos, uma vez que as leveduras geram misturas de enzimas extracelulares que rompem as membranas celulares. A disponibilidade de oxigênio varia entre os diferentes nichos. Isso reduz ou elimina completamente a atividade do ciclo de Krebs, da cadeia respiratória e da geração de Adenosina Tri Fosfato (ATP) mitocondrial. Em resposta às condições de hipóxia e anaeróbia, os organismos desenvolveram diversos processos para otimizar a utilização do oxigênio e até reduzir a dependência da presença de oxigênio. As leveduras têm atraído interesses consideráveis como plataformas valiosas para a produção de inúmeros compostos. Tradicionalmente, as leveduras eram usadas principalmente para a produção de etanol ou agiam como óleos crus para o biodiesel. Avanços recentes em engenharia metabólica e biologia sintética forneceram a tecnologia para projetar e construir sistemas de levedura complicados com eficiência.

Authors: Lopes L. C. , Moraes L. , Costa J. A. V. , Morais M. G.
Published: March 2022

Para atender as necessidades mundiais de alimentação e proteção ambiental, métodos alternativos de obtenção de alimentos estão sendo estudados, como o uso de ingredientes naturais e/ou bioativos para enriquecer formulações. A microalga Spirulina vem sendo considerada matéria-prima com grande potencial, pois sem fornecer riscos à saúde, apresenta, em sua composição proteínas, aminoácidos essenciais, minerais e vitaminas e sua incorporação em alimentos tem resultado no incremento nutricional. Dessa forma, a produção de biomassa de Spirulina pode ser uma alternativa para a alimentação humana, contendo não só um elevado conteúdo proteico, como também propriedades funcionais e fácil digestão. O Laboratório de Engenharia Bioquímica (LEB), situado na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande (FURG), tem desenvolvido projetos com o objetivo de fomentar a produção de biomassa de microalga Spirulina para uso no enriquecimento de alimentos. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo realizar uma revisão exploratória, na qual foi avaliada a composição dos alimentos enriquecidos com biomassa de Spirulina desenvolvidos pelo grupo de pesquisa do LEB e parceiros de projeto, destacando a contribuição da biomassa microalgal na suplementação alimentar e, mutuamente, seu impacto na segurança alimentar. Todos os estudos abordados pela presente pesquisa reportaram o acréscimo de conteúdo nutricional dos alimentos suplementados com biomassa de Spirulina. Dessa forma, produtos adicionados com Spirulina são uma opção para melhorar a saúde nutricional da população e garantir sua segurança alimentar e nutricional. Sugere-se a realização de estudos para definir o impacto econômico e sobre os benefícios funcionais da adição da biomassa nos alimentos.

Nos últimos anos, vem crescendo a preferência dos consumidores por alimentos que, além de nutrirem, apresentam efeitos benéficos à saúde e que podem prevenir algumas doenças. Estes alimentos são definidos como alimentos funcionais, os quais apresentam componentes bioativos responsáveis por ações como: antioxidante, pró-inflamatório, imunoprotetor, entre outras. Como exemplo destes componentes temos os ácidos graxos (AG), que são lipídeos presentes tanto em alimentos de origem animal e quanto vegetal, e alguns são essenciais para a saúde de humanos e animais. Os ácidos graxos são componentes essenciais para as membranas celulares, para uma série de mecanismos biológicos e metabólicos das células, além de sua participação em mecanismos de sinalização e regulação celular. Os AG são classificados pelo número de carbonos em sua cadeia, pelo número de insaturações e localização destas insaturações, sendo então classificados como AG de cadeia curta ou longa, saturado, insaturado, mono ou poliinsaturado, ômega 3, 6 ou 9. Suas funções biológicas são dependentes de sua estrutura química, assim possuem diferentes papéis funcionais e estão presentes em diferentes matrizes alimentícias. Diante desta significativa importância dos ácidos graxos na dieta humana, o principal objetivo a ser alcançado por meio desta revisão é apresentar os ácidos graxos como componente funcional presente na carne, destacando seus benefícios à saúde e à prevenção de doenças.

A procura da população por alimentos mais saudáveis tem aumentado nos dias atuais. A utilização de alguns ingredientes ricos em ácidos graxos ômega 3, que são associados a diversos benefícios à saúde, na fabricação de produtos apreciados pelos consumidores é uma forma de associar qualidade nutricional e palatabilidade. Assim, o presente estudo teve por objetivo revisar a literatura científica sobre a elaboração de produtos enriquecidos com ômega 3, de caráter funcional, que tragam mais qualidade de vida através dos seus compostos bioativos. Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura do tipo sistemática, utilizando os seguintes termos: “Alimentos enriquecidos com ômega 3”, “biscoitos enriquecidos”, “enriched foods”, “omega 3”, “enriched cookies” e suas combinações em português e inglês, nas bases de dados SciELO e Periódicos Capes. Foram encontrados 291 artigos para análise de título, palavras-chave, resumo e metodologia. Após avaliação criteriosa e objetiva, apenas 11 artigos atenderam os critérios de inclusão, seguindo para leitura completa, extração dos dados e análise dos resultados e conclusões. Constatou-se que os estudos são relevantes e diversos incorporando produtos que são fontes de ômega-3. Conclui-se que a utilização de produtos fonte de ômega-3 na formulação de diversos alimentos é uma alternativa viável para enriquecer formulações e ofertar valor nutricional superior aos produtos já existentes no mercado. Contudo, para avaliar o potencial de comercialização desses alimentos de forma mais significativa, recomenda-se para estudos futuros a suplementação do ômega-3 encapsulado, para que assim, seja mensurado seu custo final unitário e sua aceitação.

Allah Almighty continued the lineage of Prophets and Messengers for the guidance of mankind. Then books and scriptures were revealed to these Prophets in their respective eras. The last link is the name of Sayyid-al-Anbiya Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him). After him, the scholars took up the cause of da’wah and its preaching and promotion. The role of scholars in society has always been a cause of religious, intellectual, and intellectual uprightness. There is a need for the readers to be made aware of the social services offered for the formation of the Islamic society, so that the people may know that the scholars have not only strived for the da’wah and preaching but they have also rendered social services for the welfare of society. Therefore, this article presents a research review of social services of some renowned Pakistan’s Sunni scholars i.e. Pir Karam Shah Al-Azhari, Maulana Shah Ahmad Noorani, and Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri.

Authors: Hacquebord Jacques H. , Chen Jeffrey S. , Rettig Michael E.
Published: March 2022

Endoscopic carpal tunnel release (ECTR) continues to rise in popularity as a treatment option for carpal tunnel syndrome. Numerous variations in technique and instrumentation currently exist, broadly classified into two-portal and single-portal techniques with antegrade and retrograde designs. ECTR is equally effective as open carpal tunnel release for alleviating symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome with no differences in long-term outcomes. ECTR has an increased risk of transient nerve injury, whereas open carpal tunnel release has an increased risk of wound and scar complications. ECTR has higher direct costs but is associated with earlier return to work. ECTR is a safe and effective approach to carpal tunnel release in the hands of experienced surgeons.

Bicycle hire schemes (BHS) or public bike-sharing scheme (PBSS) are now available in many cities in different countries. However, until 2018 there was no such scheme in Bangladesh. This paper aims to assess the feasibility of implementing BHS in Dhaka city and the major issues that need to be considered for operation and management of BHS. In this study the already existing BHS in six cities in different countries were studied and relevant documents were reviewed to understand the salient features of the scheme as well as the overall operating and management system. Upon understanding of the critical aspects of the BHS from those six cities, the implementation process and tasks required for BHS was assessed with the existing conditions in Dhaka city. A detailed plan of BHS for the case study location was prepared. Questionnaire surveys of bicyclists were conducted to understand their opinions and views about the proposed BHS. Analysis of the strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) of the proposed BHS was done. Findings of this research could be helpful for implementing BHS in case study location as well as in other areas of Dhaka city and in other similar cities of Bangladesh.

This study examines the relationship between empowering leadership and employees' job performance in Pakistan's telecom sector based on the leadership theory. The Telecom sector is suffering from a volatile situation; this demonstrates a lack of empowering leadership, which leads to the employees' job performance. Further, this study explores that goal clarity, and self-efficiency mediate between empowering leadership and employees' job performance. That explains the significance of these two mediators for this study's proposed model. These two variables strengthen the relationship between empowering leadership and employees' job performance. The data was collected from the employees of the Telecom sector of Pakistan. The survey was utilized to collect the information from 331 participants. Structural equation modeling technique was utilized through Smart PLS for analysis of data. Study results reveal that empowering leadership has a positive and significant relationship with the employees' job performance. Secondly, findings show that goal clarity and self-efficacy mediate empowering leadership and job performance. These two variables have a positive and significant relationship with empowering leadership and employees' job performance. This study also has potential implications for the organization's management to work on these aspects to improve the performance of their employees. This study is helpful for the other sectors for improving their performance. Companies' management should work individually and collectively for organization performance. This research contributes to the future research aspect for further analyzing these variables in other sector organizations to test this model.

Cognitive Experiments and Features for Computing Mental Stress
Authors: Khalid Masood  , Haroon Ur Rashid
Published: March 2022

In this paper, mental stress is computed through cognitive experiments that induce stress. In a controlled laboratory environment, a group of students are involved in a series of mental challenges. While performing the cognitive tasks, stress is induced on the participants. Deep breathing exercise is performed in the start of experiments and then in between each activity to make the conditions normal and a participant feels relaxed. Various physiological features are recorded during experimental activities. Also, cerebral features are recorded that provide improved classification results. The severity of stress is different on each participant but the purpose of experimental protocol is to separate stressful conditions from relaxed environment. Support Vector machine (SVM) is used to identify relax or normal class from a number of stressed classes. It is shown that cerebral features improve the classification accuracy with a satisfactory margin and designed protocol system is able to compute the severity of induced stress.

CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW FAMILY OF EFFICIENT IMBEDDED POLYNOMIALS WITH DISTINCT COEFFICIENTS
Authors: Prof Dr Aftab Malik  , Nadeem Ahmad
Published: March 2022

We propose a new family of multi-purpose imbedded polynomials having distinct coefficients. There exist relationships between various coefficients of the members of the family, which considerably reduce the computational cost of development as well as using any number of members of the family in a particular problem. Every member polynomial of degree n going through (n+1) focuses {(xi, yi): i=0,1….......n} can be constructed very easily from another member having degree (n-1). In this paper, it is shown that the family of polynomials M exists and is efficient, reliable and more accurate as compared to other available techniques. The family has been successfully applied to the problem of interpolation in this paper. Therefore, the family M is also called the Malik‘s Imbedded Interpolating Polynomials (M.I.I.P). The family M gives similar results as compared to Lagrange Interpolation as for as accuracy is concerned but they are more efficient. The proposed polynomials are more efficient, more stable and more reliable as compared to other traditional interpolation methods due to remarkable reduction in mathematical operations. Our approach and the design of the method is different of available methods of prototype interpolation Methods. We have considered the drawbacks of other methods and eliminated from our approach. The superiority of the family is established and reported.
