Let

A

and

B

be unital finite separable simple amenable

C^*

-algebras which satisfy the UCT, and

B

is

\mathcal{Z}

-stable. Following Gong, Lin, and Niu (2020), we show that two unital homomorphisms from

A

to

B

are approximately unitarily equivalent if and only if they induce the same element in

KL(A,B)

, the same affine map on tracial states, and the same Hausdorffified algebraic

K_1

group homomorphism. A complete description of the range of the invariant for unital homomorphisms is also given.
Who’s Your Daddy? In Search of the “Father” of Pentecostalism
Authors: de Jager Eben
Published: July 2023

The concept of assigning a person the title of father of an ideology or view has its roots in ancient Greek and Roman society where some of the earliest of such references occur. Fatherhood in the context of this paper refers to the originator of the ideas and concepts central to and underpinning Pentecostalism. To determine who the rightful “father” of Pentecostalism is, a closer consideration of the history of the Movement and the contemporary views on the possible contenders, are justified. The four predominant theories in contemporary scholarship seem to be 1) Charles Parham is the father of Pentecostalism thanks to the events in Topeka, Kansas in 1901 and his subsequent doctrine of spirit baptism with accompanied speaking in tongues, 2) William Seymore and the events in Azusa Street Mission from which the global Pentecostal Movement grew, 3) Both Parham and Seymore contributed in a significant way and should thus be equally recognised for their respective roles, 4) The Holy Spirit is the father of Pentecostalism as Spirit Baptism is a Holy Spirit initiated event. There is significant evidence that both Parham and Seymour distanced themselves from what has become common practice among Pentecostals and tenets central to Pentecostalism respectively. This would eliminate both men, and thus three of the four views, with the last option also raising concerns.

Published: July 2023

Purpose - Communication is an important aspect of recommendation prac-tices in all industries across the world. This study explores the communica-tion components of recommendation culture in the digital age. Aim – This study pursuits the possibility of a digital recommendation sys-tem suitable for the business organizations. Methodology - A sample of N=1002 is surveyed in order to analyze how peo-ple evaluate certain practices of recommendation in Turkey. Sampling and surveying procedures are conducted on a blockchain-based system. Addi-tionally, decision tree analysis is applied to the data. Findings - It is found that duration of acquaintance with the recommender is the most essential element for the credibility of the letters of recom-mendation, while recommendation from social media sources is found to be the least credible. The importance of the recommendation from a person acquainted in the business life domain is perceived to be the highest. The study also revealed that credibility of references that are printed with origi-nal signature is not much higher than the online references that are digitally signed. Furthermore, the credibility of references over distance connection tools are even higher than the references through oral communication. These findings suggest that a digital recommendation culture is emerging in parallel with the rapid development of digital communication tools in organizations. Limitations of the study – The study is a cross-sectional study, and based on data from only one country. Practical implications - The paper suggests a recommendation system based on Business, Education, Social, Private Life Recommendation Scale (BESP-L) which is developed from a decision tree analysis. Originality/Value - It is a proposal in the pursuit of an advanced HR sys-tems in the digital age.
The Role of Employee Engagement in the Effect of Leader-member Ex-change on Organizational Commitment: a Study From Indonesia
Authors: Wirotama Wirawan Samahita
Published: July 2023

Purpose – This paper aims to explore the effect of leader-member ex-change (LMX) on organizational commitment with employee engagement as a mediator in companies in Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach – This study used a sample of 170 employ-ees in Indonesia and analyzed the data using partial least square-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Findings – The findings showed that LMX has a positive and significant direct effect on organizational commitment and employee engagement. Employee engagement also has a positive and significant direct effect on organizational commitment. Furthermore, employee engagement partially mediates the effect of LMX on organizational commitment. Limitations - First, the sample size is small, and the sample characteristics are skewed to one of the subcategories. Second, this study only employs quantitative methods to describe how LMX influences organizational com-mitment via employee engagement. Third, this study considers one of the elements that can influence the effect of LMX on organizational commit-ment, namely employee engagement. Practical implications – Leaders play a crucial role in shaping employee engagement and commitment to the organization. Therefore, leaders should value employees’ contributions to the organization and provide their employees with a supportive environment and mentoring. Moreover, this study will help organizations in designing their employee experience pro-gram. Originality/value – This study contributes to the body of knowledge by exploring how LMX, organizational commitment, and employee engage-ment are related in the Indonesian context and examining the mediating role of employee engagement on the effect of LMX on organizational com-mitment.

A licensed court interpreter for sign language, who has the status of an official in the proceedings, by providing translation services by translating from sign language to spoken official language in oral proceedings and vice versa, removes communication barriers for the court, parties and other participants in the proceedings during the oral hearing. The content of the service provided by a court interpreter for sign language depends on the type of procedure for providing legal protection and the procedural action undertaken in a specific civil court proceeding.
USLUGE OD OPŠTEG EKONOMSKOG INTERESA I ZAŠTITA KORISNIKA
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Law, Brašić Stojanović Jovana
Published: July 2023

In modern economic systems services of general economic interest are gaining more and more importance. In addition to the fact that they are provided in strategically important areas, that it is necessary to achieve continuity in their creation and provide equal access to all consumers, the supply of services of general economic interest requires large initial investments against which there is insufficient profitability. Therefore, the intervention of the state in the field of services of general economic interest becomes necessary. Services of general economic interest, with the direct or indirect presence of the state, are provided by economically powerful merchants, which very often puts consumers in an inferior position when exercising their rights. Bearing in mind the above, the author analyzes services of general economic interest, deals with their definition, regulation at the national and European Union level, and in the context of consumer protection.

A Narrative Review on Argentine Hemorrhagic Fever: Junin Virus (JUNV)
Authors: Afrin Sadia
Published: July 2023

Epidemic cases of Argentine hemorrhagic fever (also known as AHF) have been associated with the Junin virus, also known as JUNV, ever since the 1950s. The JUNV arenavirus is endemic to the countries of the New World. In this study, we will attempt to communicate the current level of knowledge on the morphology, transmission, replication and epidemiology of the Junin virus (JUNV). We examined both PubMed and Google Scholar in order to discover the most recent research on the Junin virus. The virus is indigenous to the humid pampas of Argentina, where it is propagated by the aerosolization of host rodent excrement. In recent years, considerable advances have been made as new technologies have increased understanding of how the Junn virus replicates. We will focus on recent studies that aim to understand the attenuation of viruses by examining their biological mechanisms. We will also provide a brief overview of what is currently known about the pathogenesis of the Junn virus, with an emphasis on treatments, morphology, transmission, replication and epidemiology.

Gagauz Atasözleri Bağlamında “Anne”
Authors: HÜNERLİ Bülent , ARNAUT Tudora
Published: July 2023

Her toplumun kendi kültürel kodları vardır. Bu kodlar zaman içinde oluşmuş olup birdenbire değişmemektedir. Başka bir deyişle bunların kısmi tabusal yönleri vardır. Aslında bu kültürel kodlar toplumun betimleyici özeliklerini de taşımaktadır. Örnek vermek gerekirse Gagauz toplumunun geçmişten günümüze getirdiği belli başlı kültürel özellikler bulunmaktadır ve bu özellikler onu diğer toplumlardan farklılaştırmaktadır. Nitekim Gagauz toplumunu oluşturan aile ve aile ilişkileri, bir önceki cümlede ifade edilen farklılıkları göstermesi bakımından son derece iyi bir örnektir. V. Moşkov daha 20. yüzyılın başında değerli eserinde kendine özgü özellikleri olan Gagauz aile yaşantısını betimleyici bir üslupla ele almıştır. Eserin bir bölümünde dar planda karı-koca ve çocuk ilişkisi üzerinde durulmuşsa da geniş anlamda her bir aile bireyinin kendine has tutumları ve davranışları hakkında da bilgi vermiştir. Dolayısıyla Gagauzlarda katı bir ataerkil aile anlayışını teşhis eden V. Moşkov’un ifadelerini, zaman zaman bir toplumun aynası niteliği olan Gagauz atasözlerinde de net bir biçimde görmekteyiz. Bu makalede sosyal yapısının en önemli yapı taşı olan aile ve onun da temel unsuru olan ana (anne), Gagauz atasözleri temelinde incelenmiştir. Çalışmada farklı başlıklar altında Gagauz atasözlerindeki ana (anne) algısı ve kimliği üzerinde durulmuştur.
Balkan Edebiyatında Osmanlı Medeniyet Tasavvurunun Akisleri: İvo Andriç Örneği
Authors: BALAT Gülçin
Published: July 2023

Osmanlı Devleti fetih hareketleriyle birden çok kıtada toprak sahibi olmuş, nüfuz alanına giren bölgelerdeki halkı Türk-İslam kültürü çerçevesinde değerlendirmiş fakat onların kültürel, dinî ve millî unsurlarına karışmamıştır. 13. yüzyılın başlarından itibaren Balkanlarda etki alanı genişleyen Osmanlı Türk kültürü -MS 4-5. yüzyıllarda Balkan coğrafyasına intikal eden Türk boyları ilk tabaka kabul edilirse- bölgede ikinci Türk kültür katmanını oluşturmuştur. Türk kültür ekolojisi unsurları bölgede yaşayan gayrimüslim tebâyı etkilemiş, toplum hafızasında yer etmiştir. Bu Türkizm unsurları özellikle edebî şahsiyetlere ilham vermiş ve onların zihinlerindeki Türk tasavvuru eserlerine yansımıştır. Bu bağlamda Bosna Hersekli yazar İvo Andriç önemli şahsiyetlerden biridir. Andriç, Osmanlı Devleti’nin Bosna Hersek’teki mevcudiyetiyle ilgili motiflerden oluşan eserler yazmıştır. Bu çalışmada, İvo Andriç’in Sinan’ın Tekkesinde Ölüm adlı eserindeki hikâyelerde Balkanların gayri Türk unsurlarındaki Türk kültür ekolojisi yansımalarına odaklanılarak ele alınmıştır. Bu hikâyeler yapısalcı yöntemle kişi/zaman/mekân alanlarında değerlendirilirken hikâyelerin içerik analizinde Türk kültür ögeleri tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır.
O amor pedagógico no ensino de língua inglesa: crenças, emoções e ações de uma professora de escola pública
Authors:   , Vieira Elecíntia Medina
Published: July 2023

Ainda que existam muitos trabalhos a respeito de emoções na Linguística Aplicada (LA) (SERPA, 2014; GUSMÃO, 2015; FERNANDES, 2017; BORGES, 2017; AQUINO, 2018; VIEIRA, 2019; CAMARGO, 2020; GODOY, 2020) e estudos voltados ao amor no ensino de línguas estrangeiras (LE) (BARCELOS e COELHO, 2016; PAVELESCU e PETRIC, 2018; LI e RAWAL, 2018; BARCELOS, 2020), o amor pedagógico ainda é pouco pesquisado na área de LA no exterior e, no Brasil, não existem trabalhos sobre o tema. Pesquisas em LA, em sua maioria, enfocam emoções como ansiedade (ARAGÃO, 2007; ARNOLD, 1999; MASTRELLA-DE-ANDRADE, 2011), prazer (DEWAELE e MACINTYRE, 2014) e esperança (CIARROCHI et al., 2007). Contudo, conforme Barcelos e Coelho (2016), o amor é uma das emoções mais importantes que os professores podem cultivar e, por isso, deve ser levado em consideração na Educação e no ensino de LE. Tendo essa escassez em consideração, este trabalho investiga o amor pedagógico no ensino de Língua Inglesa através da identificação das crenças de uma professora sobre o amor pedagógico e da compreensão da relação entre suas crenças, emoções e ações. A fundamentação teórica se baseou nos estudos sobre amor pedagógico (BARCELOS, 2019; HATT, 2005; MÄÄTTÄ e UUSIAUTTI, 2011, 2012, 2014), crenças (BARCELOS, 2001, 2004, 2007, 2014; BARCELOS e KALAJA, 2013; BORGES, 2017, 2019; COELHO, 2005) e emoções (ARAGÃO, 2005; BARCELOS, 2015; BARCELOS e ARAGÃO, 2018; BARCELOS e RUOHOTIE-LYHTY, 2018; SOUZA e ARAGÃO, 2017) no ensino e aprendizagem de LE. Esta é uma pesquisa qualitativa realizada em uma escola pública de uma cidade do interior de Minas Gerais. Como instrumentos de coleta de dados foram utilizados: 1) um questionário de perfil e sobre crenças e emoções referente ao amor pedagógico, 2) uma entrevista semiestruturada, 3) uma narrativa escrita, 4) uma narrativa visual, e 5) observação de aulas e anotações de campo. Os dados foram analisados de acordo com a análise de conteúdo (BARDIN, 2016). Os resultados sugeriram crenças a respeito do ensino e aprendizagem de inglês e ao amor pedagógico, tais como o amor à profissão e aos alunos. As emoções de tristeza e alegria estavam relacionadas às crenças a respeito da indisciplina dos alunos e também ao amor e status da profissão. As ações da professora parecem ter sido influenciadas por suas crenças que, por sua vez, geraram emoções de tristeza e alegria, corroborando a relação entre crenças, ações e emoções, conforme a literatura. As implicações deste estudo apontam para a relevância da inclusão da pedagogia amorosa nos currículos dos cursos de Letras. Palavras-chave: Crenças. Emoções. Formação de Professores. Língua Inglesa.

Published: July 2023

In this century there have been 1000s of Pubmed listed publications making multiple claims about the potential health benefits of curcumin found in the curry spice, turmeric. A baby boomer male who was diagnosed with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), later after difficulty in urination, constriction of Urethra was treated with urethral catheterization. A year after BPH diagnosis, the PSA rose to 64 ng/ml and bone biopsy revealed prostate cancer cells, at which time a simultaneous combination treatment of Lupron depot and turmeric capsules from a pharmacy, containing curcumin was administered. 6 months after the combination treatment, the PSA level have remained well below average normal, around 0.3 ng/ml and the urination difficulties were resolved. While the noninvasive treatment without surgical removal of the prostate gland, has worked quite exceptionally for the time being, this report and review should be of broad interest for those who are involved in timely care of patients with enlarged prostate due to BPH, prostatitis, prostate cancer, and metastasized prostate cancer.
The Data from the Lunar Laser Ranging Project Contradict Einstein’s Genius Spacetime Idea
Authors:   Senior Scientist, Germany, Deyssenroth Hans
Published: July 2023

What happens to a laser beam that points from the bottom of a train (at rest) to a point in the ceiling when the train is moving very fast. Will the beam still hit this point, or will it hit the ceiling behind this point? In the years around 1900 scientists were convinced that photons get a lateral momentum in the direction of movement, because they are particles. But R. Feynman concluded that a mirror emits new photons and is therefore a light source and together with Einstein’s second STR-postulate the laser beam should hit the ceiling behind this point. This can be tested with the return rates of photons from a mirror on the Moon. The results show clearly with an error of probability < 10-80 that photons do not get a lateral momentum but arrive at that location where the Earth was 2.55 seconds before. Besides the detection of an additional velocity of Earth in the Universe this article proves that Einstein’s geometric spacetime idea is wrong because the physical basis for that is wrong

Authors: Pabijanskaitė Ugnė , Gierasimovič Zita
Published: July 2023

Couperosis is a skin condition in which there is a disorder of the skin covering the face with a network of dilated capillaries; it is usually an inherited skin condition. The development of couperosis is influenced by the weakening of capillaries, chronic diseases that predispose to blood circulation disorders.

Aim of the study. To assess the effect of cosmetic products on couperose facial skin.

Methods. Mixed method research. In 2023, one 58-year-old subject was used for this study, meeting the criteria required for the study: age, with a couperose skin condition, job specifics that would allow not to wear heavy make-up every day, to be in the sun for a long time, not to have allergic reactions to the components of the used products. The following were used for the study: a skin diagnostic device, a customer card, a course of ten procedures with the active substance, repeated weekly.

Results. Mixed skin type, deformational aging. Couperosis can be seen on the cheeks, in the wings of the nose, there are telangiectasias in the area of the wings of the nose, on the left cheek of the eye. The skin is dehydrated, sebum secretion is increased in the forehead, nose and chin area. During the procedures, multi-component X active substances are used to reduce the effect of couperose on the skin, moisturize, stimulate skin regeneration, collagen and elastin synthesis, shrink capillaries and strengthen the hydrolipidic barrier.

Conclusions. 1. Damaged facial skin is caused by an improper use of cosmetic products and exposure to the external risk factors. 2. The multicomponent, acid-based active substances used to restore the hydrolipidic barrier and improve the condition of couperose skin strengthened capillaries, improved skin metabolism, accelerated cell regeneration, and reduced the harmful effects of couperose on the skin.

Hepatoprotective action of some Ayurvedic drugs: A review
Authors: Sathavane Geeta Vishwanath , Patil Shweta , Wankhede Arun , Dikondwar Ankush
Published: July 2023

Yakrut is the Ayurvedic name for liver. It is involved in several physiological processes in the body, including metabolic activities, secretory, retention, purification, and elimination of foreign and endogenous materials. As a result, any impairment or degradation of its functionality leads to a wide range of liver problems. The principal hepatic illnesses that cause a high fatality rate include hepatotoxicity, jaundice, and hepatitis. Liver problems are still a growing health problem around the world. The treatment of liver problems using traditional or synthetic medications is ineffective and can have major negative impact.Ayurvedic herbal medicines, on the other hand, have a variety of possible benefits in liver diseases, despite the absence of a proven hepatoprotective medication in modern medicine. A variety of hepatoprotective herbs have been identified. In this review paper, we have attempted to collect and consolidate information on hepatoprotective herbs that will be useful in the Indian medical system.

Keywords- Hepatoprotetive plants, Liver, Indian systems of medicine, Yakrut, Herbal drugs

The study’s aim was to develop a beverage incorporated with Terminalia chebula Retz., locally known as Haritaki, having gastro-intestinal motility improving properties. The objectives of the study were to develop the beverage, check its acceptability by conducting sensory evaluation and chemically analyzing the beverage for quality assessment by testing its anti-oxidant properties and presence of gallic acid, i.e., a hydrolysable tannin present in Haritaki fruit which majorly possess the properties of improving gastro-intestinal motility. The beverage was made by two methods viz. overnight refrigeration and boiling method. Then sensory evaluation was conducted by 9-point hedonic scale and as a result of which sample made with overnight refrigeration method were found to be more acceptable. Then samples prepared with both the methods were subjected to antioxidant property test and High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to check the presence of gallic acid. The test results were in favor of the sample prepared by overnight refrigeration method having 14.49% more antioxidant property and 26.06mg/kg more gallic acid than that of the sample prepared with boiling method. The original taste of Haritaki is very bitter and strong. So, with the development of this beverage the flavor of Haritaki is enhanced and bitterness is reduced. Therefore, consumers can opt for this beverage over the original powdered form, hence increasing the acceptability of Haritaki. Also, no further preparation is required, people can consume it at an ease. The beverage developed will be a boon to the food industry in this era of unhealthy lifestyle.

Gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detectors are used to separate different analytes present in a mixture and identify the same. It can also be used for quantification of the analytes. Sample preparation is essential for GC-MS analysis to obtain desired analytes. Aim of the study: The present study is pursued to profile the phytochemicals present in Arjunarishta, a medicated alcoholic preparation through Dichloromethane (DCM) and Ethyl acetate (EA). Materials and Methods: A sample obtained from a GMP-certified pharmacy was subjected to liquid-liquid extraction using DCM and EA, which was examined with GC-MS. Results: The analysis yielded 19 and 20 phytochemicals in DCM and EA respectively. Presumably, due to a small difference in the polarity of the solvents used, nine phytochemicals such as Ethyl gallate, Catechols etc., were found in both extracts. Conclusion: 30 unique phytochemicals were established in two different solvent extracts of the same sample.

Since the beginning of human life, human beings have wanted to know their location, and have therefore tried to find out where they are and where they are going throughout their lives. Researches and inventions that have shaped this situation have followed one another. Throughout history, the methods used to obtain location information have improved day by day, and the possibilities of obtaining precise location information faster with more ergonomic devices have emerged. Recently, the Real Time Kinematics have attracted attention in this respect. In this study, "Comparison of Classical-RTK and Network-RTK surveying methods in Coastal Regions" was conducted in Coastal Regions. For this purpose, 12 point locations were determined by creating two separate study areas in two different regions with an approximate surface area of 3.078 km2 and 1.346 km2 in the coastal region. When a base was created between TUSAGA-Active points namely, N4, N5, N6, IN1, IN2, IN3 were located in the inside and N1, N2, N3, DN1, DN2, DN3 points were located in the outside part of the network structure. Static, Classical-RTK and Network-RTK measurement methods were used at 12 points in the study areas in both regions. First of all, static measurements were made at 12 points were taken into account as a reference values for the comparison of the measurements from both Classical-RTK and Network-RTK methods. The differences of the static measurement values and the measurement values obtained by Classical-RTK and Network-RTK measurement methods were taken respectively. These measurement differences were analyzed and compared in various aspects.

Published: July 2023

Dada a dupla função do cooperado, enquanto sócio e cliente (usuário), um dos desafios das cooperativas agropecuárias é manter o cooperado participando tanto na sua governança quanto economicamente. Sabe-se que a participação econômica dos cooperados diminui à medida que a cooperativa cresce. A não participação dos cooperados pode levar a cooperativa a ter grandes problemas de sobrevivência em curto e longo prazo. Diante deste contexto, o objetivo deste artigo é identificar o nível de participação dos cooperados em uma cooperativa agropecuária. Para atender ao objetivo foi realizada entrevista semiestruturada com o diretor-presidente de uma cooperativa agrícola do estado de Mato Grosso do Sul e aplicados questionários com os cooperados. Foi realizada análise qualitativa descritiva dos dados obtidos da entrevista e análise estatística descritiva com os dados obtidos dos questionários. Com os resultados, identificou-se que o nível de participação dos cooperados está muito abaixo daquele almejado pela diretoria-executiva na cooperativa.

Transporting the farmers’ produce from field to market in shortest possible time has great potential to curtail farmers’ risk on net profit. Keeping this in view, the Government of India took initiative to operationalize Kisan Rail in August 2020 to fill this gap. The initiative got a fillip through its elaboration in a radio program named Man Ki Baat. The study aimed to answer the research question whether the Mann Ki Baat episode had effect on framers’ knowledge and decision to avail the rail services. Applying a case study approach, the study was carried out in four states of India growing prominent fruit crops including grapes, guava, pomegranate and mango and transporting the produce by Kisan Rail from the site of production to distant places. The respondents selected for the study comprised of 8 groups of 20-25 farmers each. Thus, the total sample size for all the four fruit crops included was 200 respondents. The data were collected using personal interviews and Focus Group Discussions and were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that an appreciable number of farmers got sensitized, and mobilized to avail the services of Kisan Rail after 77th episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’ (aired on 30th May, 2021). With increasing probability of getting benefits through access of ‘Kisan Rail’, farmers perceived that the risk percentage of perishable agro-produce got minimized. Grape grower farmers from Nasik (Maharashtra)earned a net profit of Rs. 70.0 Lakh by supplying 22.2 thousand quintal by using Kisan Rail. Whereas, pomegranate farmers of Solapur (Maharashtra) supplied 2.0 thousand quintals of pomegranate and earned a net profit of Rs. 5.40 Lakh. From Raipur, farmers’ group transported 0.54 thousand quintals of guava and earned the net profit of Rs. 0.54 Lakh. The highest net profit of Rs. 28000/ q was secured by mango transportation (2.50 th.q) by a group of farmers from Chikkaballapur (Karnataka). The study suggests that kisan rail facilitated the transport of farmers’ produce from one place to another, secured higher net profit, and minimized the losses, and reduced the involvement of middleman.
