Authors: Fatmi Aulia Arie , Amin Aminul
Published: May 2023

Profit is the main orientation for every business entity because profit is one of the company's performance indicators in order to maintain its sustainability, therefore various strategies are designed and implemented so that the company continues to exist and is able to compete along with increasingly competitive and massive developments. Transfer pricing is a strategy that is oftenimplemented by companies in order to manage resources while achieving profit optimization and as a strategy is certainly influenced by several determinants including Tax minimization, leverage and Good Corporate Governance. This study intends to examine the effect of tax minimization and leverage through the interaction of Good Corporate Governance which is proxied by the number of audit committees with educational backgrounds and accounting experience. The population used are all entities in the industrial sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, using purposive sampling obtained from 17 selected companies with the observation period 2019 –2021 so that a total sample data of 51 is obtained. Moderating Regression Analysis (MRA) is used as a technique to examine the relationship between variables. The test results show that partially Tax minimization, leverage, and Good Corporate Governance have a significant effect on transfer pricing. The test results also show that GCG is able to moderate both tax minimization and leverage on transfer pricing
Study of effect of Gender Stereotyping leads to Misrecognition of One’s Own Identity
Authors: K. Anuradha
Published: May 2023

The paper titled „Gender stereotyping leads to misrecognition of one‟s own identity‟ is based on a Youtubeseries named „Man‟s World‟ by Y-Films Original, presented by The Global Goals For Sustainable Development (United Nations) having a tie-up with India‟s most reputed production house, Yash Raj Films. The series „Man‟s World‟ "is a what if story. It is a story about walking in the shoes of women, in that world. The series supports Goal Five of the UN‟s Global Goals for Sustainable Development which is about achieving Gender Equality and empowering all girls and women, everywhere." The aim of this paper is not about achieving the goal of gender equality but to show that gender stereotyping often leads to misrecognition of one‟s own identity, that is, it leads to a sense of identity which is not one‟s own but assigned by the society. One can argue that in thevery first place, identity is never one‟s own, instead we get a sense of our identity, our “self” by looking at the other. True, but there is also the idea of self-realization of our identity, when we recognize our true „self‟ and not the one which is assigned to us by the society, not how society looks at us as just male or female particularly, but how we look at ourselves as an individual.
High gray whale mortality and low recruitment in 1999: potential causes and implications
Authors: Le Boeuf B.J. , Pérez-Cortés M. H. , Urbán R. J. , Mate B.R. , Ollervides U. F.
Published: May 2023

This paper documents the high incidence of gray whale deaths in 1999 and presents the hypothesis that some of the whales were starving. Predictions from this hypothesis are tested using data on the frequency and distribution of strandings, the sex and age composition of strandings, estimates of recruitment and physiological condition, and observations of foraging during migration. The data come from multiple sources. The mortality count of 274 gray whales in 1999 was twice as high as in any previous year dating back to 1985. Dead whales were widely distributed along the migratory route, with the majority observed on the northward migration from the Mexican breeding lagoons to Alaska. Most mortalities in Mexico and California were adults and immatures, rather than the usual calves and yearlings. The majority of dead adults in Mexico, California and the Oregon/Washington region were females. Many dead whales were emaciated. Calf production was lower than in the previous six years. Aberrancies in timing and location of migration, as well as foraging on pelagic prey, were observed. These results, and an even higher stranding rate in the Mexican breeding lagoons in 2000, are consistent with the hypothesis that the whales were undernourished. It is argued that the most likely cause of this condition was a decline in the biomass of their principal prey, the benthic amphipods in the Bering and Chukchi Seas over the last decade, due in part to the combined effects of increasing sea surface temperatures and increased predation from the growing population of gray whales themselves. A significant decline in amphipod density could have long-term effects on the future growth and stability of the gray whale population because amphipods recover slowly given their low fecundity and long generation times. Annual monitoring of the status of the amphipods in the Bering and Chukchi Seas, and the effect of inter alia sea surface temperature on their biomass, is vital for understanding fluctuations in gray whale mortality and numbers, and the extent to which they are dependent on this food resource.

Authors: Elsawaay Seham , Khamakhim Enas
Published: May 2023

Objective. This study aimed to estimate the communication between dental practitioners and dental technicians, through fixed prosthodontics from a dental laboratory technician's point of view, study the weak points, and try to offer them. Methods. In Tripoli, a randomized sample of private dental laboratories was chosen. A hundred and fifty questionnaires were distributed, and 130 were received (response rate=87%). A part of the questionnaires was mailed to the laboratory directors of dental laboratories and others were distributed to the dental technicians personally (face to face). The survey asked questions about the following areas of work authorization: Academic certificate, Years of work as a dental clinician, choice of materials for the prosthesis, design of the fixed prosthesis, and shade description. The use of impression materials for fixed prosthodontics was part of the questionnaire. For each question, the number of responses received was tabulated and converted to a percentage. Data were collected and analyzed statistically with (SPSS) version 25 software and Pearson’s Chi-square test p value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results. The findings showed that the telephone 42.9% and written dental prescription 24.2% are the main communication tools. The technician is more likely to choose fixed prosthesis design alone when conversing with doctors verbally or via email, while they sometimes choose it when sending them written prescriptions. Therefore, the best form of cooperation would be a written prescription. 84.6% of dental technicians received impressions in a non-disinfected state. The plastic stock tray was the most common choice of impression tray (75.4%). The minority of dental technicians 19.7% are discussing pontics design with the dentist. Conclusion. According to Tripoli dental technicians, good quality communication between both dental technologists and dentists is not always present. The connection between these two dental offices still needs work.

Pada penelitian ini, akan dibuat prototipe sistem kontrol suhu yang akan mendinginkan air menggunakan thermoelectrik cooler sebagai alternatif pendingin yang menggunakan freon dan ukuran yang relative besar. Pada penelitian ini selain menggunakan thermoelectrik cooler sebagai bahan utama pendingin tetapi juga menggunakan kipas untuk membuang kalor dari thermoelectrik cooler tersebut sehingga suhu dingin yang dihasilkan menjadi lebih maksimal. Selain itu, Arduino juga digunakan sebagai kontrol utama alat ini dan mengatur relay yang mana jika alat tersebut telah mencapai suhu yang diinginkan akan otomatis mati agar menghemat energi, menampilkan suhu yang terbaca oleh sensor suhu pada LCD. Kegiatan penelitian diawali dengan proses berpikir ilmiah untuk mendapatkan gambaran tentang masalah penelitian yang akan dilakukan. Selama proses berpikir, kegiatan identifikasi masalah dilakukan melalui wawancara dan observasi lapangan. Pada penelitian kali ini, terdapat masalah yang terjadi pada mesin extruder tali mono yang menyebabkan rusaknya hasil produksi untuk pembuatan tali dan dan jaring. Rusaknya hasil produksi terletak pada proses pengkondisian suhu yang terdapat pada wadah bak air dingin yang suhunya juga panas akibat dari benang senar yang melewati tahap sebelumnya, hal ini menyebabkan hasil benang senar mudah putus dan menumpuk pada bak air dingin saat mesin beroperasi lama. Untuk menjaga kestabilan suhu pada  bak air mesin extruder, diperlukan sirkulasi air yang tepat tanpa membuang air lama yang telah panas dengan yang baru, yaitu dengan melewati sistem pendinginan pada tangki pendingin yang telah dirancang dengan baik. Dengan menjaga kestabilan suhu pada air, maka air yang seharusnya dapat mencapai suhu <70?C dan dapat merusak hasil produksi bahan dasar pembuatan tali dan jaring ini  dapat distabilkan hingga hampir sama dengan suhu air normal yaitu <27?C didaerah Surabaya dan sekitarnya.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Permendagri 141 of 2017 policy regarding guidelines for confirming regional boundaries. The focus of the research is on the boundary between Deli Serdang Regency and Langkat Regency, North Sumatra. This study used a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques were carried out by observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation and were analyzed through three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions/verification. This study found that in implementing Permendagri Number 141 of 2017 concerning the affirmation of regional boundaries, the Deli Serdang and Langkat districts have not been implemented optimally. This is reflected in: a) Communication, which has not gone well enough, because there are still misunderstandings regarding the boundaries that are currently being debated; b) Resources, human resources who are unable to provide solutions for settling regional boundaries and there is no visible rhythm and movement at the North Sumatra Provincial Government level as well as at the Deli Serdang Regency and Langkat Regency levels; c) Disposition, regional boundary conflicts are manifested as a good commitment only at the implementor level, d). The bureaucratic structure is still not visible, especially related to the unclear division of tasks between team members carrying out research, tracking boundaries and team members carrying out measurements and installing boundary pillars.

Published: May 2023

Batticaloa district, which is situated in the Eastern coast of Sri Lanka is identified as one of the most climate vulnerable districts in Sri Lanka and one of the districts which were directly affected by the Sri Lankan armed conflict of 30 years. Agriculture being the main source of income generation in the district, increasing climate vulnerabilities such as droughts and frequent flooding make the livelihoods of small holder farmers uncertain and making them vulnerable to poverty. It is also imperative consider the alarming rate of irregular migration in the Eastern Province and the trend of farmers leaving their land behind in search of a stable employment both within and outside of the country. Furthermore, the impacts of the adverse methods to control COVID-19 and the ongoing economic crisis exacerbated the challenges faced by farmers of Batticaloa. As United Nations Sri Lanka along with World Food Programme identifies women and migrants as one of the most vulnerable groups for the ongoing economic crisis of Sri Lanka, women farmers in Batticaloa face multifaceted vulnerabilities than their male counter parts. This study proposes to analyze the gendered vulnerabilities of women small holder farmers in Batticaloa district in a post conflict climate change nexus, identify the social, structural and policy level restrictions women farmers have to face on a daily basis as and to come up with recommendations which can help them to mitigate their challenges.

Published: May 2023

Introduction: The global population is undergoing a significant demographic shift, with a rapidly increasing number of elderly population. As people age, their health and quality of life become increasingly important considerations. The elderly population has unique health needs that must be addressed to ensure their well-being and maximize their quality of life. In Bhutan, elderly health needs are lacking despite information on health policy and planning. This study was proposed to assess quality of life and health needs among elderly aged between 60 – 79 years old under Naja, Dogar, Shaba, and Lyungni gewogs (blocks) under Paro district, Bhutan.
Methods: An explanatory sequential mixed method design with a quantitative and descriptive qualitative was conducted in the four blocks. For quantitative component, a survey was conducted and for qualitative, focus group discussion was used. This study was carried out in four selected rural areas known as gewogs (blocks) in local language under Paro district. A representative sample of 403 respondents was selected by simple random sampling in quantitative work and 12 elderly people in focus group discussion. The demographic data were analyzed by ANOVA and data from focus group discussion were done in content analysis.
Results: The quantitative data for the overall QoL score among elderly showed a mean score of 39.01, which was considered a low level of QoL. Among the eight components of QoL, role of pain and general health showed same result level as the overall QoL. While others (physical function, body pain, vitality, social function, role of emotion, and mental health) were at average level (score 46.19-58.68).
Conclusions: Overall QoL of elderly people in Paro district is lower than the average at 47.84 (CI 45.87 – 49.81). Mental health was in average level compared to physical health, which is at a lower level.

Authors: Hassan Adamu Shitu , Munganga Justin M. W.
Published: May 2023

A delay differential equation-cholera model with infection from aquatic reservoir and environmental disinfection as intervention is constructed and analyzed in human population. It is assumed that the time lag is the period between oral intake of contaminated water or food to full cholera infection in the population. Basic properties of the model that ascertain its mathematical and epidemiological well-posedness are determined. A unique disease-free and cholera endemic equilibria are found and the control reproduction number is computed. Global and local attractiveness for disease-free and endemic equilibria are proved to depend on the control reproduction number and time delay as threshold quantities. The impacts of time delay on stability of equilibria and endemicity are studied, furthermore conditions for Hopf bifurcation are computed. Disinfection of environment is shown to increase the number of healthy individuals and lower the concentration of cholera in the environment. Numerical simulations are used to support theoretical results.

La consulta Odontopediátrica constituye un escenario diverso, que demanda métodos creativos y novedosos para orientar el comportamiento del paciente y facilitar su tratamiento. Este artículo presenta el reporte de tres casos clínicos, en los que se utilizó la distracción por sugestión mágica (DSM) como estrategia de orientación del comportamiento. El objetivo fue evaluar el comportamiento del paciente al tratamiento odontológico utilizando la técnica DSM. Metodología: Se seleccionaron 3 pacientes entre los 3 y 6 años de la consulta privada de Odontopediatría en Cúcuta, Colombia, los cuales fueron atendidos por un especialista Odontopediatra. Se implementó la distracción-sugestiva, el juego de fantasía y la imaginación a través de la “Magia” como mecanismo de apertura, para aceptar y responder a nuevas ideas (DSM); usando la escala de Frank se evalúo el comportamiento durante la inducción [P1] y el tratamiento [P2], por el profesional y los autores; los procedimientos fueron filmados en presencia y con consentimiento de los padres. Resultados: Revelan un comportamiento positivo y definitivamente positivo en los 3 pacientes evaluados; dos pacientes se clasificaron en F4 y uno F3+ al finalizar el procedimiento. La aceptación al tratamiento fue progresiva en la inducción y tratamiento. Se observaron cambios positivos en la atención, cooperación y disminución de la ansiedad y miedo. Conclusión: Los hallazgos sugieren que la técnica de Distracción por Sugestión Mágica fue eficaz para lograr un comportamiento y experiencia positiva, creando una ilusión que los pacientes aceptaron con convicción.

Authors: Díaz Mesa Haridian , Ruiz Rallo Alfonso
Published: May 2023

Actualmente es imposible imaginar un mundo sin marcas, por lo que es de vital importancia dotarnos de claves para entenderlas. Las marcas han evolucionado enormemente a lo largo de las últimas décadas, pero es posible encontrar una continuidad entre lo que eran, lo que son y lo que serán. El objetivo de este artículo es determinar, definir e ilustrar nueve grandes ideas que han influido en el diseño de marcas gráficas. Algunas de estas se sitúan directamente entre principios y mediados del siglo XX; y otras se concibieron a finales del siglo XX y principios del XXI.

Diseño del espacio para enseñar
Authors: Hernández Muñoz Silvia , López Alonso Francisco
Published: May 2023

Muchas son las voces que postulan un cambio en el diseño del espacio donde se enseña en las universidades. Hemos realizado un recorrido por diversas líneas de estudio que abordan la arquitectura, otras, los procesos artísticos, pasando por las nuevas metodologías docentes. De estos estudios seleccionamos el trabajo de Bosch, Acaso y Calvode manera particular.
Nuestra hipótesis principal plantea si las prácticas que, principalmente vienen aplicándose aniveles educativos inferiores, pueden verterse a la universidad. Para ello, añadimos factores de actualidaden la educación con el texto de Bazarra y Casanova: La escuela ya no es un lugar, e incorporamos a nuestro análisis las propuestas metodológicas que vienen desde los procesos artísticos. Concluimos en que la realidad de la enseñanza universitaria es ubicua, con múltiples fuentes e interconexiones. Validamos el conocimiento que se produce a través de las artes, validamos el diseño del espacio físico para mejorar el aprendizaje, pero no podemos aportar un diseño concreto. Hemos expuesto el itinerario y las principales voces, hemos hecho un análisis que incluye las artes, sin embargo, es necesario realizar un diseño en cada caso atendiendo a los objetivos de enseñanza de cada centro y teniendo en cuenta la innovación. El estudio ofrece un enfoque, creemos útil, a partir del que trabajar.

Public History in a Global Context

Introduction
Complicated Pasts, Promising Futures
Authors: Foster Ann-Marie
Published: May 2023

This overview article explores the nature of public history on the island of Ireland, discussing current trends in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Family history and digital history are highly popular ways of engaging with the past, both on the island and among the Irish diaspora, who have a voracious appetite for engaging with their heritage. Given that the island contains a postcolonial society (Republic of Ireland) and a post-conflict one (Northern Ireland) attention is given to the ways that these difficult pasts are engaged with by communities, through examining the histories of Mother and Baby Homes, The Troubles, and dark tourism. This article also briefly comments on who is involved in public history. Academic historians are engaged at state and local levels, and are often turned to as experts in the field, but grassroots public history projects which offer participatory ways of doing history are growing. This article emphasizes the high levels of engagement Irish and Northern Irish publics have with their history, however, it also suggests that public history as a radical method of ‘doing history’ is still in its relative infancy.
The Archival Book as an Experimental Dialogue in Public History
Authors: Chowdhury Indira
Published: May 2023

This article argues for a new genre of book making which I call an archival book that is created to present archival material to the public. The book discussed here was published as a commemorative volume in 2010, soon after the centenary of the Indian physicist, Homi Bhabha. The archival book described here attempted to move away from the celebratory coffee table format and focused instead on the archives of the scientist. The article tries to define the key characteristics of the archival book that is meant for the public and not exclusively for a scholarly community and the challenges of presenting archival material in this form. Finally, the article focuses the inter-disciplinary nature of the archival book-making project and the collaborative way in which the writers and designer can work together in order to make the archives accessible, especially in countries where archives remain inaccessible to the general public.
