Siddhas' Tomb Shrines and the Power Fields
Authors: R Murugesan , K Ramapandi
Published: July 2022

It can be known from literature that monumental stone has been worshipped in the name of soldiers who died in war since the Sangam period. Tomb shrine worship is worshipping the body of a siddha in the tomb. In Tamil Nadu, the Siddhas studied the body and mind and learned the art of suppressing life with the body and attained immortality. The Siddhas indirectly said that the separation of life from the body is death, and the bio-condensation of life with the body is eternal. To achieve this, if one receives the Kundalini spiritual enlightenment properly from the spiritual educator and performs the proper exercises, the mind becomes compressed and the magnetic energy of the soul expands, and eventually one attains the supreme state of spiritual enlightenment. This state is known as spiritual enlightenment. The Siddhas, who have attained spirituality and have attained mmortality, should bury the bodies of the sages and worship them according to the rules of sacred writings (Agamas). It is called a tomb shrine. The sacred writings tell us how the place of burial, the environment, and the structure of the burial should be. Doing so will benefit the country. If their bodies are burned or neglected, evil will occur. The sacred writings say that if the body of a sage is left unburied and rots and is eaten by foxes, then the land will be destroyed by enmity in the country where it is eaten by foxes. The conclusion of the sacred writings is that the funeral rites and other activities performed for the dead should not be performed for the bodies of sages who have attained spiritual attainment and are considered to be the shrine where the Lord resides and is worshiped. A magnetic energy field is felt in the shrines where spiritual attainers are enshrined. Practitioners of kundalini enlightenment can easily feel that energy and experience ecstasy. Analysts believe that such energy fields cross borders, time zones, and languages and are parallel to one another.

The landforms in the Gorontalo area are only limited to the physiographic division of Gorontalo. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the geomorphological characteristics of the research area to obtain detailed data that can be used as basic data for the theoretical purposes of Gorontalo geomorphology and disaster applications. The method used in this research is field observation and visual interpretation using satellite imagery, namely GeoEye (GoogleEarth) and Digital Elevation Model. Data analysis was carried out in the form of an analysis of the geomorphological condition of the research area supported by the results of image interpretation—determination of geomorphological units using the Van Zuidam classification. The results showed that the geomorphology of the study area consisted of six geomorphological units: structural hills, volcanic hills, denudational hills, denudational plains, fluvial plains, and marine plains. The morphography and morphometry of the research area are hilly, lowland, and coastal plains generally located at an altitude of 0-393 masl with slopes ranging from flat to extremely steep with a sloping pattern. The morphology of the landform units in the study area starts from the Early Miocene to the Holocene in the form of magmatism, volcanism, and exogenous processes. The presence of geological structures in the form of fractures and faults in geomorphological units and the influence of exogenous processes on landforms can be a reference in mapping the direction of mitigation in the research area, theoretically and practically.

Published: July 2022

RELEVANCE: The human resources policy is one of the leading social and economic sectors of society. There is a vast shortage in health professionals on a global scale. This problem is aggravated every year. That’s why it is so relevant now. Public health facilities are affected most of all. They have to compete with private clinics, which provide more favorable working conditions for specialists. The health system needs qualified personnel. The global shortage of doctors due also to “optimisation” processes that have been recognized as ineffective. The human resources policy of health care is aimed primarily to increase the number of medical personnel. The state population's health depends on it. In this regard, the problem of staffing in health care is an important area of ​​analysis. PURPOSE: To analyze employment data in public health facilities in the city of Tver and to evaluate the trends in staff turnover rates. MATERIALS. The data from official reports of polyclinics No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 of City Clinical Hospital No. 7 in Tver (Russia) was analyzed. The assessment was carried out for the period from 2011 to 2020 by comparing three time periods: 2011-2014, 2015-2017, 2018-2020. In the course of its work, mathematical calculations on the validity of the investigated data were made. RESULTS. The analysis of data from polyclinic No. 1 shows a decrease in the percentage of employment among doctors by 38% (p=0.197) and among nurses by 17.5% (p=0.559). The employment of paramedical staff did not change and remained below 50% throughout the decade. There is a clear shortage of outpatient personnel. The indicators of polyclinic No. 2 indicate a stable positive dynamics of staff employment in the field. However, nursing and paramedical personnel require an increase in involvement in the specialty, because there are a large number of free positions. The indicators of polyclinic No. 3 have not changed for 10 years. This polyclinic has a minimum number of rates for the work of medical personnel. It may be due to the peculiarities of the territorial location of this medical institution. CONCLUSION: A decrease in the percentage of staff employment was noted in the polyclinics of the City Clinical Hospital No. 7 for the period 2011-2020 for various reasons. In general, the decrease in indicators was observed among doctors. The grounds for termination of employment may be: the remoteness of the workplace, low wages, high professional loads, including the additional work. It is necessary to develop the right strategy to compensate for the vacant positions of specialists. One of the main reference points can be monitoring the employment of hospital staff. This issue remains relevant in the regions of the Russian Federation.

Based on the data, it was found that students had a good perception of online learning activities that took place during the pandemic. This is indicated by the average value of the IKM (Quality Performance Index) of 3.03. However, the results of student perceptions also describe aspects that still need attention in order to realize the effectiveness of an online learning, namely facilities and infrastructure. These results will be a reflection for the Mathematics Tadris Study Program to evaluate and improve in the future.

Abstrak: Hakikatnya Belajar matematika tidak semata hanya menghitung dan menghafal rumus, tetapi tentang bagaimana memahami konsep yang ada. Dalam menyelesaiakan masalah matematika kita dituntut untuk menghubungkan konsep-konsep matematika sehingga penyelesaian bisa diperoleh, hubungan konsep-konsep matematika inilah yang biasa disebut koneksi matematika. Apabila koneksi matematika siswa baik, maka dia dapat menghubungkan ide-ide matematika dari konsep-konsep matematika maupun dari disiplin ilmu lain dan menghubungkan antar konsep-konsep yang sudah diketahui sebelumnya dengan konsep-konsep dari informasi yang baru didapat sehingga pemahaman yang didapat akan lebih sempurna. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengungkap bagaimana koneksi matematis siswa dalam menyelesaikan masalah ditinjau dari kecenderungan gaya berpikir. Setelah proses pengambilan data dan analisis data, didapatkan hasil: Subjek Gaya berpikir Acak Abstrak cenderung mampu menampakkan semua indikator yang diuji. Subjek-subjek dengan gaya berpikir lain, seperti Sekuensial Konkret, Sekuensial Abstrak, dan Acak Konkret tidak demikian. Fakta menarik lainnya adalah subjek dengan gaya berpikir Sekuensial Abstrak dan Acak Konkret tidak mampu melakukan tahap memeriksa jawaban ketika menyelesaikan masalah matematika.

Abstract: In essence, learning mathematics is not only about calculating and memorizing formulas, but about how to understand existing concepts. In solving mathematical problems we are required to connect mathematical concepts so that solutions can be obtained, the relationship of mathematical concepts is what we call a mathematical connection. If students have good mathematical connections, they can connect mathematical ideas from mathematical concepts as well as from other disciplines and connect previously known concepts with concepts from newly acquired information so that the understanding gained would be more perfect. The purpose of this research is to reveal the students' mathematical connection process in solving problems in terms of thinking style tendencies. After the data collection and data analysis process, the results obtained: subjects with Abstract Random thinking style tend to be able to go through all indicators in solving mathematical problems. Subjects with a Sequential Concrete thinking style tend not necessarily to be able to pass 1 indicator in solving mathematical problems. Subjects with an Abstract Sequential thinking style tend not necessarily to be able to pass 4 indicators and tend not to be able to go through 1 indicator in solving mathematical problems. Subjects with a Concrete Random thinking style tend not necessarily to be able to pass 5 indicators and tend not to be able to go through 1 indicator in solving math problems.

The Duriangkang reservoir was built in 1992–1995. It was the first estuary dam built in Indonesia and has the largest storage of any dam in Batam City. Its volume of effective storage is 107 million m3, and it is fulfilling the water need at a rate of about 2,500 l/s. The Muka Kuning reservoir was completed in 1990 and began operating in 1991. Initially, the IPA Muka Kuning reservoir had a water production rate of 310 l/s, which increased to 600 l/s in 2015 because of Batam City’s increasing water needs. This research is aimed at assessing the water availability in the Duriangkang–Muka Kuning cascade reservoir system. This evaluation was carried out to support the integrated management of optimization in cascade reservoirs. In this cascade system of the Muka Kuning and Duriangkang reservoirs, water is taken from downstream into the upstream reservoir, and a pump is used to create inflow into the downstream reservoir. This study’s methodology comprises rainfall data tests, trend absence tests, stationery tests, variance stability tests, and mean stability tests. Moreover, we conducted an analysis of dependable discharge for the wet discharge condition (35% probability), the normal discharge condition (50% probability), and the dry discharge condition (65% probability). To evaluate the water availability, we used the reservoir water balance. The results show that the water availability in Duriangkang is enough to fulfill the water need under all conditions (wet, dry, and normal); however, for Muka Kuning, the water availability can be fulfilled in the wet and normal conditions only, and under the dry condition, the water availability cannot fulfill the water need. Therefore, ensuring the integrated management of optimization is necessary.
THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL LEVERAGE AND AUDIT QUALITY ON FIRM PERFORMANCE: THE CASE OF LISTED FIRMS IN VIETNAM
Authors: Anh Phan , Phuong Nguyen Minh
Published: July 2022

This research uses data from 60 listed manufacturing firms in Vietnam to determine the relationship between financial leverage, audit quality, and firm performance. By applying three different regression techniques named POLS, FEM and REM, the results show that short-term, long-term, and total debts have significantly impacted firm performance. On the other hand, audit quality does not influence the firm profitability of listed firms under the research. The other results from the research show that dividend payout policy does not impact firm performance while foreign direct investment has a significant effect on the dependent variable.

Digital interactive platforms (DIP) enhance communication in a growing online interaction and promote innovation in small business operations. However, there is still a lack of knowledge about the interactions between small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and stakeholders via DIP and the factors contributing to accelerating internationalization. Therefore, this study aims to explore the DIP used by SMEs to interact with service providers to accelerate their internationalization. This study applied the case study methodology and used a dyadic process with selected service providers and Malaysian manufacturing SMEs. The findings of this study examine the interactions of SMEs and service providers, specifically through DIP. From the analysis, two factors contributing to SMEs' rapid internationalization can be deduced. The novelty of this study is that it contributes to the understanding of the DIP used by SMEs to interact with service providers and identifies internal resources and the external environment as DIP factors for SMEs' rapid internationalization. A framework is provided for SMEs to use DIP for rapid internationalization.
Enhancement of all-optical photoacoustic detection sensitivity via elliptical reflector
Authors: Meng Xianyu , Hong Minghui
Published: July 2022

All-optical photoacoustic detection has poor inspection quality when it is used on rough surfaces due to strong light scattering. We report on the use of an elliptical reflector to improve the sensitivity of all-optical photoacoustic inspection on rough surface samples. By employing the bi-focal property of the elliptical reflector, the amplitude of the photoacoustic signal can be increased by 3 times. It also greatly improves the imaging quality of photoacoustic inspection of rough surface samples. This technique has the potential to extend the applications of all-optical photoacoustic detection in industrial applications, where rough surface samples are common.
