Authors: Pawar Prajakta , Sande Rutuja , Kondalkar Tejal , Benere Sandesh
Published: March 2023

Abstract: Forklift trucks are essential tools for manual pallet handling. Storage heights at high rack storage areas often reach up to 12 meters in which bulky Cargo can hide the view of forklift operator. Pallet recognition is afundamental issue for Industries & warehouses, Particularly, a pallet recognition approach is presented to recognize pallets in the warehouses, based on calculating the degree of similarity at each location of the palette. Once a pallet has been recognized, it is matched that data with stored data. Transporting and handling pallets in a storage area is the essential function of a forklift truck. The view of the forklift truck driver is limited during his work by the lift pole, the fork, and the roof of the forklift truck. If a pallet is loaded the view is additionally hindered by its load. When the storage rack is not at a ground level or near to it the pallet handling becomes more difficult because of the distance between the forklift truck driver and the storage rack. To support the forklift truck driver during his work, there is need to advance theforklifts with different technologies and systems which provide diversity in Working and safety, security for forklift operator and other workers. This paper shows various results from research on different pallet recognition and forklift operation systems.
Factors affecting the efficacy of short stories as science communication tools
Authors: Irani Masoud , Weitkamp Emma
Published: March 2023

People become familiar with stories as sources of information in their childhood, and, while they have recently received interest as potential science communication tools, few studies have considered aspects of story quality on science communication. We postulate that quality is an important, if challenging, facet that should be considered when exploring the potential of short stories in science communication. This essay argues that quality should be a key consideration of those interested in studying or working with short stories for science communication purposes and presents criteria for the `well-made' short story.
Diagnostic and prognostic role of cardiac pathology multicomplex autoimmune biological markers
Authors: Lovochkina Elvira D.
Published: March 2023

Relevance . Despite the large list of biological markers of cardiovascular diseases, not all have evidence-b ased effectiveness and independent prognostic value. Laboratory diagnostics of serum cardiospecific auto-antibodies for the diagnosis of myocyte cell damage has several potential advantages compared to the evaluation of traditional methods. These include the analysis of natural globulins to troponin I (cTnI), to alpha-a ctin 1 (ACTC1), to the heavy chain of beta-myosin 7B (MUN7B), which are based on a self-sustaining immune response to the myocardium’s own auto-antigens, which leads to damage to the cells expressing them. Purpose: To determine the diagnostic and practical value of quantitative indicators for the autoantibody complex to cardiomyocyte proteins to troponin I, to alpha-a ctin 1 and to the heavy chain of beta-myosin 7B in patients with cardiac pathology. Materials and Methods. The study of auto-antibodies to cTnI, ACTC1 and MUN7B in blood serum using laboratory enzyme immunoassay was carried out in patients with cardiac pathology undergoing inpatient treatment at the Regional Clinical Cardiology Dispensary in Stavropol. Additionally, an instrumental and laboratory examination was carried out in accordance with the clinical recommendations developed by the Association of Cardiovascular Surgeons, the Cardiological Society of Russia and approved by the Scientific and Practical Council of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. The work was examined and approved by the Ethics Committee of the North Caucasus Federal University. Results and Discussion . Changes in the level of autoantibodies to cTnI, ACTC1 and MUN7B proteins in blood serum were statistically significant (p 0.01 v. s. p 0.01). A persistent increase in the level of auto-antibodies to cTnI by 2.36 ng/ml (694.11 %), to ACTC1 by 3.6 ng/ml (141.73 %) and to MUN7B by 1.74 ng/ml (119.17 %) was found in individuals with confirmed cardiac pathology, when other criteria for laboratory analysis were within acceptable values, which determine their diagnostic and evidentiary effectiveness. Conclusion . The results of the study showed the relationship of changes in the activity of cardiospecific auto-A T to cardiomyocyte proteins (Anti-cTnI, Anti ACTC1, Anti-M YH7B) in patients with cardiac pathologies, indicating not only systemic membrane disorders (membranopathies), but also serve as convincing evidence of direct chemical changes in cardiomyocytes. A correlation has also been established between cardiomarkers of necrosis and ischemia and autoimmune globulins Anti-cTnI, Anti ACTC1, Anti-MYH7B, that confirms diagnostic and practical value of this laboratory analysis.
Tasks of the CIS Member States in Ensuring National Security
Authors: Korostelev S. V.
Published: March 2023

This study is focused at studying the problem of the political and legal rationalization of the actions of government authorities in defining and proclaiming the category of “national interests” in the framework of the common interests of the international community and the common goals of the international security system for other participants in international communication.Aim. Eliminate methodological problems in defining the content of the terms “national security”, “public security”, “personal security”, “constitutional order”, “state” while institutionalizing interference in the internal affairs of other states.Tasks. To highlight and formulate the directions of concentration of efforts of state authorities in the movement of the nation towards its goals in relation to dangers, threats and risks.Methods. The state of the modern security environment testifies to the mobility of the content of national interests, and, therefore, there is a problem of determining the directions of concentration of efforts of a government to ensure them and proclaiming them for other participants in international communication. The allocation of categories of national interests is based on national security objects and on a comparative analysis of the necessary reactions of states to external and intranational threats and threats to private interests.Results. The study showed that the most important mission of government bodies is to continuously redefine dangers, threats and risks, and provide resources to counter them. Competition of states for a place in the hierarchy of the balance of power is inevitable, and, accordingly, the redefinition of vital, important, significant interests should also be carried out continuously. The directions of efforts of international actors can be explained in terms of how they do proclaim their national interests. One of the most obvious problems of modern political discourse is the endowment of the political mechanism “state” with subjectivity in the processes of determining national interests and ensuring the security of the nation, which is a serious methodological error, and which, in turn, was confirmed by the decision of the Nuremberg Tribunal. To ensure the survival of the nation as a result of political consensus, it is necessary to determine the main objects of concentration of efforts and necessary resources. Such errands include the declaration for other participants in international communication of certain “values” of the nation as its “vital” interests, to protect which its total resources will be allocated.Conclusion. The decision of the state authorities to take any action to interfere in the internal affairs of any state should be based on the determination of the fact, which is, of course, conditioned not by the thresholds and “red lines” declared by the state, but by the state of the balance of power in international relations.

Authors: Clebak Karl T. , Parascando Jessica , Newberry Zakary , Wiedemer Joseph , Reedy-Cooper Alexis , Dong Huamei , Lennon Robert P.
Published: March 2023

Background and Objectives: As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, interviews during the 2021 US residency match were conducted virtually, a practice again recommended and repeated by many programs in 2022. The impact of virtual interviews on recruitment and match outcomes has recently been of interest, with results showing the virtual format to be mostly well received by applicants due to cost, travel, and scheduling benefits. Few studies have looked at pre/posttransition comparisons of applicant geographic and demographic data. We compared objective match outcomes between in-person and virtual interviews across three residency programs.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of National Residency Matching Program data between 2015-2022 across three family medicine residency programs. Primary outcomes were fill rate, average rank position, distance from program, and percentage of underrepresented in medicine demographic status for matched applicants. We compared aggregate in-person data (2015-2019) to aggregate virtual data (2020-2022) for each program using χ2, Fisher Exact test, or 2-tailed t tests to 95% confidence.
Results: Saint Joseph Hospital in Reading, Pennsylvania, a 3-year community-based university affiliated program, had significantly more unfilled positions during virtual recruitment (P=.0058). Mount Nittany Medical Center in State College, Pennsylvania, a 3-year community based university-affiliated program, had a significant difference in distance of matched residents’ current address (P=.048). Virtual interviews were not associated with significant differences in average position on rank list, average distance from permanent address zip code, or percentage of underrepresented in medicine (URiM) demographic status for matched applicants.
Conclusions: The impact of virtual interviewing on unfilled positions and geographic data is likely site specific and generally small, as some programs had significant structural changes. Further research is needed to confirm the generalizability of these results and explore future comparisons of demographic and geographic characteristics of matched applicants pre/posttransition to the virtual format.
The extent of emerging commercial banks commitment to cybersecurity governance: An empirical study
Authors: Hamour Aiman Mahmoud Abu
Published: March 2023

The interest of business organizations and banks in cybersecurity has become extremely important, and this is evident through many studies such as (Abu-Shanab et al., 2013; Al-Muhtadi, 2020) which emphasized the importance of cybersecurity in business. The study aims to identify the extent of the commitment of Jordanian commercial banks to the governance of cybersecurity, from the point of view of a certified public accountant. However, the population consisted of Jordanian commercial banks, and a sample of 83 respondents was taken from auditors who hold a chartered accountant certificate and work in the field of auditing the accounts of Jordanian commercial banks. The findings indicate that Jordanian commercial banks are committed to cybersecurity governance with regard to cybersecurity governance strategy, cybersecurity related to human resources, and cybersecurity risk management from the point of view of a certified public accountant. Nevertheless, this paper contributes to providing useful results for financial managers and accountants working in Jordanian commercial banks by introducing them to the importance of cybersecurity governance. Through its theoretical literature, prior investigations, and research methodologies whose validity and reliability have been proven and may be employed and used in future studies, it is hoped that this study would motivate many researchers to conduct more new research on this subject
IFMN Model: An Advanced Classification Architecture for Intrusion Detection with HYFSPSO Method
Authors: Kumar Neeraj , Sharma Sanjeev
Published: March 2023

This paper proposes a novel deep learning architecture named as Inverted
Funnelized Multilayer Network (IFMN) for detecting intrusions in
Internet of Things (IoT) networks. The proposed approach for intrusion
detection employs a feature selection model that uses a Hybrid Yellow
saddle goatfish algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm for
Feature Selection (HYFSPSO) to identify the optimal features. The
effectiveness of the selected features is evaluated using a decision
tree (DT) classification method, ensuring only the most informative
features are used in the deep learning architecture for intrusion
detection. For analyzing and proving the effectiveness of proposed
scheme the current research has used three benchmark datasets i.e.
KDD-CUP99, NSL-KDD and UNSW-NB15 datasets. The simulations of the
proposed architecture are conducted in MATLAB and evaluated using
performance matrices. While comparing the outcomes on 3 datasets results
revealed that proposed HYSGPSO-DL based IDS approach is more effective
on NSL-KDD and UNSW-NB15 datasets with an accuracy of 99.96% and
99.80%, while as it achieved an accuracy of 99.53% on KDD-CUP99
dataset. Additionally, comparative analysis with existing intrusion
detection systems shows that proposed scheme outperforms the
state-of-the-art methods.
Automated streamflow measurements in high-elevation Alpine catchments
Authors: Hofmeister Florentin , Venegas Brenda Rubens , Sentlinger Gabriel , Tarantik Michael , Blume Theresa , Disse Markus , Chiogna Gabriele
Published: March 2023

Salt dilution is a well-established streamflow measurement method in
creeks, which works particularly well downstream of turbulent flow
sections as mixing of the salt tracer is enhanced. Usually salt dilution
measurements are performed manually, which considerably limits the
observations of rare peak flow events. However, these events are
particularly important for constructing robust rating curves and
avoiding large uncertainties in the extrapolation of river discharge
values. An additional challenge is the variability of the river
cross-section, especially after larger discharge events, leading to
non-stationary rating curves. Therefore, discharge measurements well
distributed over time are needed to both construct a reliable
streamflow-water level relationship and to detect changes caused by
erosion and deposition processes. To overcome these two issues, we used
an automated streamflow measuring systems at three different sites in
the Alps for event-based discharge measurements. This system allowed us
to measure close to the highest peak flows at all three sites in the
observation period (2020-2021) and to detect abrupt changes in the
rating curve. Based on a very large data set of almost 300 measurements,
we were able to evaluate the reliability of the system and to identify
the main sources of uncertainty in the experimental setup. One key
aspect was the site selection for the downstream electrical conductivity
sensors as measurement location strongly controls the signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR) in the recorded breakthrough curves.
Host-pathogen interactions under pressure: a systematic review and meta-analysis of stress-mediated effects on disease dynamics
Authors: Vicente-Santos Amanda , Willink Beatriz , Nowak Kacy , Civitello David , Gillespie Thomas
Published: March 2023

Human activities have increased the intensity and frequency of natural
stressors and created novel stressors, altering host-pathogen
interactions, and changing the risk of emerging infectious diseases.
Despite the ubiquity of such anthropogenic impacts, predicting the
directionality of outcomes has proven challenging. Here, we conduct a
systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the primary mechanisms
through which stressors affect host-pathogen interactions and to
evaluate the impacts stress has on host fitness (survival and fecundity)
and pathogen infectivity (prevalence and intensity). We assessed 893
effect sizes from 71 host species (representing seven taxonomic groups)
and 78 parasite taxa from 98 studies. We found that infected and
uninfected hosts had similar sensitivity to stressors and that responses
varied according to stressor type. Specifically, limited resources
compromised host fecundity and decreased pathogen intensity, while
abiotic environmental stressors (e.g., temperature and salinity)
decreased host survivorship and increased pathogen intensity, and
pollution increased mortality but decreased pathogen prevalence. We then
used our meta-analysis results to develop Susceptible-Infected
theoretical models to illustrate scenarios where infection rates are
expected to increase or decrease in response to resource limitation or
environmental stress gradients. Our results carry implications for
conservation and disease emergence and reveal areas for future work.
Trends in hospital pharmacist interventions documentation and classification: A scoping review
Authors: Machado Sara , Falcão Fátima , Cavaco Afonso
Published: March 2023

The practice of documenting pharmacists’ interventions (PIs) has been
endorsed by many hospital pharmacists’ societies and organizations
worldwide. Current systems for recording PIs have been developed to
generate data on better patient and healthcare outcomes, but
harmonization and transferability are apparently minimal. The present
work aims to provide a descriptive and comprehensive overview of the
currently utilized PIs documentation and classification (D/C) tools
contributing to increased evidence systematization. A systematic
literature search was conducted in PUBMED, Scopus, Web of Science and
CINAHL. Studies from 2008, after the release of the Basel Statements,
were included if interventions were made by the hospital or clinical
pharmacists in a global hospital setting. Publications quality
assessment was accomplished using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool
(MMAT). A total of 26 studies were included. Three studies did not refer
to the D/C method, 10 used an in-house developed D/C method, seven used
externally developed D/C tools and six studies described method
validation or translation. Evidence confirmed that most of the D/C
systems are designed in-house, but external development and validation
of PI systems to be used in hospital practice is gradually increasing.
Reports on validated PIs D/C tools that are being used in hospital
clinical practice are limited, including countries with advanced
hospital pharmacy practice. Unmet needs and gaps in practice were
identified. Further research should be conducted to understand why using
validated D/C methods is not a disseminated practice, knowing patients’
and organizational advantages.

A promising approach for decision modeling with single-valued neutrosophic probabilistic hesitant fuzzy Dombi operators
Authors: Kamran Muhammad , Ashraf Shahzaib , Naeem Muhammad
Published: March 2023

A combination of the single-valued neutrosophic set (SV-NS) and the probabilistic hesitant fuzzy set is the single-valued neutrosophic probabilistic hesitant fuzzy (SV-NPHF) environment (PHFS). It is intended for some unsatisfactory, ambiguous, and contradictory circumstances in which each element has a number of various values that are brought about by the situation?s actuality. The decision-maker can quickly gather and analyze the facts by employing a strategic decision-making technique. On the other hand, uncertainty will be a big part of our daily lives when we are learning. We present a decision-making strategy for the SV-NPHF context to address this data ambiguity. The fundamental operational concepts for SV-NPHF information under Dombi aggregation operators were initially developed on the basis of this study. The SV-NPHF Dombi weighted arithmetic average (SV-NPHFDWAA) operator and SV-NPHF Dombi weighted arithmetic geometric (SV-NPHFDWAG) operators are two SV-NPHF Dombi aggregation Operators that are then examined. Following that, we look into further characterizations of the proposed operators, including idempotency, boundedness, and monotonicity. For the derived operators, we additionally developed the score and accuracy functions. When using SV-NPHF data in a multi attribute decision support system (MADSS), it is necessary to compare the effectiveness of various (AOs) in order to make the best decision. In addition, it is demonstrated how to use symmetry analysis to choose the optimal social media platform for earning and learning in a practical application of SV-NPHFDWAA and SV-NPHFDWAG.
Rapid Decline in β-Cell Function and Increasing Adiposity Are Associated With Conversion to Type 2 Diabetes in At-Risk Latino Youth
Authors: Vidmar Alaina P. , Durazo-Arvizu Ramon , Weigensberg Marc J. , Alderete Tanya L. , Goran Michael I.
Published: March 2023

Youth-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) is becoming increasingly prevalent, especially among Latino youth, and there is limited information on its pathophysiology and causative factors. Here, we describe findings from a longitudinal cohort study in 262 Latino children with overweight/obesity at risk of developing T2D with annual measures of oral and intravenous glucose tolerance (IVGTT), body composition, and fat distribution. Logistic binomial regression was used to identify significant predictors in those who developed T2D compared with matched control participants, and mixed-effects growth models were used to compare rates of change in metabolic versus adiposity measures between groups. Overall conversion rate to T2D at year 5 was 2% (n = 6). Rate of decline in disposition index (DI), measured with an IVGTT, over 5 years was three times higher in case patients (−341.7 units per year) compared with the extended cohort (−106.7 units per year) and 20 times higher compared with control participants (−15.2 units per year). Case patients had significantly higher annual increases in fasting glucose, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), waist circumference, and trunk fat, and there was an inverse correlation between rate of decline in DI and rates of increase in adiposity measures. T2D development in at-risk Latino youth is associated with a substantial and rapid decrease in DI that is directly correlated with increases in fasting glucose, HbA1c, and adiposity.

Article Highlights

Youth-onset type 2 diabetes is becoming increasingly prevalent, especially among Latino youth, and there is limited information on its pathophysiology and causative factors. Overall conversion rate to type 2 diabetes over 5 years was 2%. In youth who converted to type 2 diabetes, disposition index decreased rapidly by 85% compared with that in patients who did not convert during the study period. There was an inverse correlation between rate of decline in disposition index and rates of increase in various adiposity measures.
Ideologias enfrentadas por um Brasil melhor e aspectos traumáticos em Palavras Cruzadas de Guiomar de Grammont
Authors: Baladan Miguel Salvador Lemos
Published: March 2023

Este trabalho apresenta uma análise sobre o romance Palavras Cruzadas (2015) de Guiomar de Grammont, o objetivo é observar os aspectos formais da obra e tecer relações de sentidos tanto literárias quanto históricas; destacar a interpretação que o narrador realiza sobre a última Ditadura Militar brasileira e discutir os conceitos de ideologia e de trauma, para assim, abordar o eixo central da narrativa que apresenta, a partir de uma escala que se desenvolve desde o microssistema (no nível pessoal) em direção ao macrossistema (no contexto nacional), respectivamente: uma protagonista traumatizada pelo desparecimento de seu irmão na ditadura; o qual além de ser seu irmão era filho, pai, amigo, namorado e cidadão da República Federativa do Brasil. Quer dizer, se apresenta a figura do desaparecido metaforizada em diversos papeis sociais que se viram violentados nesse período histórico e demonstra-se que o trauma é um estado psíquico que afetou não só as pessoas involucradas diretamente no conflito da guerrilha e ditadura, mas sim a todos os cidadãos, a uns de forma direta e a outros de forma indireta. Por outra parte, desde a perspectiva do significado da palavra ideologia, se incursiona pelos aspectos contraditórios dos discursos políticos e filosóficos enfrentados nesse período, em que cada ideologia política lutava por um conjunto de ideias sobre a melhor forma de governar o Estado brasileiro (de forma mais equitativa, se pressupõe); mas que sem um consenso político acabaram conduzindo o país a uma Ditadura Militar de direita. O trabalho se apoia teoricamente em autores como Aristóteles (2005), Gagnebin (2006), Laplanche (2004), Maestro (2018), entre outros.

Ag thin films were successfully produced via a green chemistry method from silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) obtained from reacting an extract of Pelargonium Zonale leaves with silver nitrate. The ions of silver nitrate were reduced to silver atoms by reducing stabilizer-capping compounds contained in the extract of Pelargonium Zonale leaves. The obtained atoms nucleate in small clusters that grew into nanoparticles and finally, they formed a homogeneous silver thin film on a glass substrate. The nanostructured thin films obtained were characterized by profilometry, X Ray Diffraction, Atomic Force Electronic Microscopy, UV-Vis, and Transmission Electron Microscopy.

The interaction effect of eight operating factors on the degradation of three organic dyes of different structures (Cibacron green, methylene blue and methyl orange) has been studied. Effect had been evaluated statistically using the Plackett-Burman screening design which ex-tracted valuable information on the most important parameters and their interactions. The goodness of the model fit was checked by the determination of the coefficient R2. The process factors, which affected the degradation efficiency of dyes, were then analyzed and illustrated; the most important valueі (p and F) for three dyes proved the validity of the model. The results of interactions between the factors allow to understand and study the impact of each parameter on the elimination of dyes and to distinguish the key factor to upgrade the efficiency of the Fenton process.

Published: March 2023

The emergence of Netspeak as a variety of languages cannot be separated from the development of the Internet and social media. The characteristic of its medium and the social media nature of communication makes Netspeak have distinctive and unique features that differentiate it from the more traditional form of communication, such as topographic and grammatical irregularities, as well as lexical creativity. This study attempts to discover the use of written communication features on 9GAG’s Instagram account as a popular community-based content creator. The qualitative method is applied by using Crystal’s feature of language variety model. The data was gathered through observation and documentation and then analyzed in terms of graphology, typography, grammar, vocabulary, and discourse features. This research found some distinctive graphic features such as punctuations and spellings, morphological processes and syntactical irregularities, distinctive vocabularies, and some discourse feature that presents unique coherence and chronological order. The finding indicates the rich features present in the data source, with the characteristics of informality and irregularities that often bend the rules of standard language imposed by internet users. Moreover, the finding also shows that the written language development on Netspeak is a way to overcome the barriers to expression in Instagram communication.
Databases on the Indonesian Prefixes PE- and PEN-
Authors: Denistia Karlina
Published: March 2023

This paper provides the theoretical grounding in constituting databases related to PE- and PEN-, two Indonesian nominalizing prefixes, which have various meanings (e.g., patient, agent, or instrument). The first database contains the words with PE- and PEN- whereas the second database provides the cosine similarity between two words of interest. Using a written Indonesian corpus as the primary source (Leipzig Corpora Collection), the databases contain the following information: PE- or PEN- prefixes, allomorph of PEN-, base word, semantics role, morphological variation, cosine similarity, as well as the word frequency. Furthermore, this paper elaborates the theoretical consideration on how each information was cultivated. In building the databases, Indonesian morphological parser and Word to Vector were used to analyze the Indonesian morphological status and to put the words in the corpus into a vector. In addition, manual verification for the data against the Indonesian comprehensive dictionary was also conducted. In the end, the databases are available for free so that the data could be used as materials for a corpus-based analysis on Indonesian morphology. This research shed light to a careful and thorough classification of the open-access databases of PE- and PEN- from their allomorphs, base word, semantics role, and morphological variation. The information provided in this article is hoped to be contributive in Indonesian morphology specifically, and other linguistics fields (e.g., corpus linguistics and quantitative linguistics) in general.
Humor as a Political Act: Study of Indonesian Presidents’ Humor

This study aims to explain the use of humor by Indonesian presidents for political communication. Presidents’ use of humor is an interesting phenomenon, given that they are social subjects who wield great power within a country. Their social position leads to different characteristics and social impacts due to the humor used. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach. Data was collected from books, news sites, and YouTube channels documenting the humor of the three Indonesian presidents. Data were then analyzed using pragmatic analysis. The results show that presidential humor varies according to personal preferences, speech objectives, and contexts. Presidents use joke, conversational humor, and pun to joke, tease, praise, satirize, criticize, and delegate power. Joking, teasing, and praising are used on friends and political allies. Meanwhile, satirizing and criticizing are applied to political opponents. Humor is a middle ground for presidents, enabling them to achieve speech objectives without explicitly expressing their intention. Politically, humor functions to (1) represent oneself positively and represent opponents negatively, (2) build relationships and positioning with opponents and allies, and (3) exercise control and discipline. However, the relationship between form, style, and illocutionary of presidential humor is often ambiguous. Such conditions seem related to political relations' dynamic and equal nature, where friends and foes are not always crystal clear.
The Psychopathy of John Berryman and Its Application to His Poetry “Not To Live”
Authors: Santosa Budi Tri
Published: March 2023

The phenomenon of psychopathic behavior that occurs in society has unconsciously inspired various forms of art, one of which is poetry. More poets write about their mental illness through indirect expression. Poetry is one of the popular ways to express it. This research aims to analyze the word or phrase in “Not To Live” to find the psychopath of the poem. The approach used in this study is a semiotic approach and uses a qualitative method. Data were collected through observation and repeated readings through heuristic and hermeneutic readings. Data analysis used descriptive qualitative analysis. The results of semiotic research in John Berryman’s poetry is that reading heuristics describes how bad the world and life are. That meaning can be seen through simile, metaphor, personification, ambiguity, and contradiction. To show the author’s personality, hermeneutic reading shows the feelings of hatred experienced by John Berryman because the world is full of hypocrites and deceit. Matrix, model, and variant in Not to Live can be seen as distorted personality due to the sorrw of his life, and proven by unrhyme matrix in his poetr. The hypnogram of the poetry is when the poet feels how real life is and how to survive. From the semiotic approach, the poem can be seen as psychopathic poetry.
Demolishing Humanity through Pleasure and Pain: Reading Huxley’s Brave New World and Orwell’s 1984 Side by Side
Authors: Fatubun Reimundus Raymond
Published: March 2023

Oligarchical collectivism that supports totalitarianism silences freedom of speech, privacy, assembly, etc. both personal and communal through horrific pain or plentiful pleasure.  Authors write literary works to remind readers of this situation through novels, poems, plays, political essays, and or satire. In today's life, it seems these two ways of totalitarianism are being practiced in life singly or combined in different parts of the world. This can be seen in a number of countries where the government does this both in disguise and addressed to a certain group of members of society such as in Nigeria and in real terms such as in Nicaragua. This is also done in total for a country such as Ukraine by Russia. Two of those great anti-utopia literary works are novels that raise the issue of restrained freedom of life in Huxley's Brave New World and Orwell's 1984. These two anti-utopian novels raise the issue of the freedom of life that is confined but in different ways. Using Marxist psychoanalytic criticism, this paper discusses this issue seen in both novels by the two authors.  The focus is on how both authors show totalitarianism being practiced both personally, and in the society found in these novels – how they are treated to follow rules that confine personal and societal freedom in totalitarianism.
Phonological Features of Saudi Arabian Anthroponyms

Beyond its traditional function, phonology has been demonstrated to play a significant role in the gender marking of given names in some Germanic languages. However, this significance has not been investigated for Semitic languages, including Arabic. Therefore, irrespective of the classical gender-identification approaches (i.e., familiarity, morphology, semantics, and pragmatics), the present study examines whether the phonological structures of Saudi first names may solely reveal the gender of that name. The first names of Saudi males (N= 237) and Saudi females (N=419) drawn from the registrar of a Saudi university in Riyadh were analyzed according to various phonological variables, including the number of phonemes, the number of syllables, the distinction between open vs closed syllables, the manner of articulation of name-initial and name-final sounds, stress position, in addition to the state of the glottis. The quantitative study finds that compared to male names, female names have fewer phonemes, tend to begin with an open syllable, are more likely to be stressed in the second position, are more likely to end with a vowel or a voiceless consonant, are more likely, to begin with, a glottal stop and a trill, and are more likely to end with a vowel or a glottal fricative.
Examination of the Relationship Between Teachers' Organizational Change Fatigue Levels and the Organizational Resilience Levels of Secondary Education Institutions
Authors: YILDIZOĞLU Hüseyin , CEMALOĞLU Necati
Published: March 2023

Purpose: The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between organizational change fatigue levels of teachers working in secondary education institutions and organizational resilience levels of these institutions.

Design/Methodology/Approach: The research was organized in relational screening model. The population of the research consisted of teachers working in high schools located within the borders of Kastamonu province. Proportional stratified sampling method was used in the study. The sampling included 313 teachers. In the study, the "Organizational Change Fatigue Scale”, which was developed by Bernerth et. al. 2011 and adapted to Turkish in 2020 and whose validity and reliability study was conducted by Limon, was used to measure the organizational change fatigue level of teachers. In order to measure the organizational resilience level of secondary education institutions, the “Organizational Resilience Scale” developed by Kantur and Say in 2015 was used. Pearson Product Moments Correlation Coefficient, Independent Sample t-test, One-Way Anova and Regression Analysis techniques were used in the analysis of the data.

Findings: In the analyzes made, it was concluded that teachers working in high schools experienced change fatigue at the level of "agree", that high schools were resilient at the level of "agree", that there was no significant relationship between teachers' organizational change fatigue levels and organizational resilience, and that the level of change fatigue was not a significant predictor of organizational resilience.

Nucleation is a technique widely used in restoration projects, but the transposition of the seed bank in the soil with greater depth is still incipient, especially in the Caatinga Biome. Thus, it evaluated whether the two seed bank transposition techniques (litter and topsoil) collected in two natural environments of the Mata da Pimenteira State Park (PEMP) provide seedling emergence in degraded areas of the Caatinga. Litter and topsoil techniques were transported from two Natural Environment Zone (ZAN) of the park, Serra Branca and Pimenteira, to two restoration areas in UFRPE/UAST in plots distributed in nuclei. The design was in randomized blocks, for litter in 2016 and topsoil in 2017. The highest average of emerging seedlings occurred in the surface forest soil transposition (topsoil) technique, mainly in the collection environment of the pepper tree area of the Pimenteira State Park. Herbaceous (herbs) were more evident in the topsoil (63.25%) than in litter (61%) and the species Alcalypha poiretii Spreng. was the most abundant in the Pimenteira area while the species Croton hirtus L’Hér. in the Serra Branca. The topsoil technique showed higher species richness, while litter was less uniform. However, both techniques presented a potential for species conservation, and the Pimenteira environment provided higher viable seed bank potential in degraded areas under Caatinga ecosystem conditions.
Continuidad y variación de las imágenes en la Antigua Grecia
Authors: Herraiz Llavador Andrés
Published: March 2023

El presente artículo expone un proyecto educativo centrado en el uso de estrategias en el aula universitaria que favorezcan el estudio diacrónico de las imágenes en clave de género. La propuesta nace de la necesidad de reformular y adaptar ciertos planteamientos de corte formalista vinculados al análisis de la producción artística de la Antigüedad. Partiendo de los supuestos en torno al aprendizaje vicario de A. Bandura, la zona de desarrollo próximo de L. Vygotski, el trabajo en el aula de problemas socialmente relevantes de J. Dewey, o la construcción dialógica del conocimiento de P. Freire, este estudio plantea la posibilidad de un cambio de paradigma en la educación universitaria asentada sobre el sistema de la lectio magistralis. A través de la exposición de los objetivos, materiales y resultados alcanzados en la asignatura «Historia del arte griego», se pretende dar a conocer un proyecto educativo centrado en el análisis de las imágenes en tanto que fenómenos culturales. De este modo, partiendo de problemas y dilemas que interpelan al alumnado desde el presente como la violencia machista, la pandemia o la democracia, se ha trabajado la mirada historiográfica hacia las producciones de la antigüedad. En ocasiones resignificadas, en otras reconstruidas, el estudio de las imágenes ha permitido al alumnado articular su conocimiento del pasado a través de los vestigios tanto icónicos como textuales que han favorecido su comprensión del presente.
