Quality of life is a parameter to measure the position of life for high-risk people, including healthcare workerswho handle infectious disease. Quality of life affects productivity and performance. A lot of instrumentscan be used to measure the quality of life, which one is the 36-item Short From Health Survey (SF-36). Itis an international standard questionnaire which measuring health-related quality of life, so a translationprocess into Indonesian is necessary. The aim of this study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of SF-36questionnare on Indonesian version. This study was an observational analytic with a cross-sectional design.This study divided into 2 stages, ie. translating questionnaire into Indonesian version, then testing it withrespondents. We evaluated 45 healthcare workers working in the COVID-19 isolation room. Data weretaken from September to October 2020. This study was analyzed by Pearson Correlation and Cronbach’alpha with ?=5% and using SPSS v.23 software. Results showed that the overall cronbach’ alpha coefficientwas 0.883, while the five dimensions were >0.70 (physical function, vitality, mental health, bodily pain,and general health). But, the role physical, role emotional, and social function dimensions had cronbach’alpha coefficient 0.6-0.7. The Indonesian version of SF-36 was valid and reliable, so it could be used as ainstruments for measuring health related quality of life among healthcare workers who handle infectiousdiseases, especially in COVID-19.

The nursing stress literature points to an overwhelming culture of accepting and expecting stress at work,ironically linked to controlling the workplace to effectively and actively manage stress. According to the KarasekJob Demand Control Support (JDCS) model, stress-causing factors have been extensively studied in nursing-relatedworkplaces, especially in critical and emergency situations. However, little is known about the impact of workplacestress on the cognitive functions of caregivers.Method: A survey was carried out using the JDCS model among 96 nurses working in different departments ofthe provincial hospital in Kenitra (emergencies, surgical operating units, pediatrics…). Specific questions exploredvariables such as gender, length of service in the system, level of qualification and work experience.Results: A high level of job strain was highlighted with a gender effect. Women Nurses are more stressed than men.According to the study, age over 40 was a key factor in high work stress, also for the work schedule; nurses adoptingthe 12/36 system were located in the high stress quadrant. Both of these factors can be predictors of poor mental health.Strategies to improve the personal and professional performance of nurses to cope with daily stressors in differenthospital departments are needed.

Authors: Eswaran.B  , Rohit.M  , Soniya.H
Published: April 2021

The performance of a complete denture is often a reflection of its support and retention of the underlyinghard and soft tissues. If the superficial aspect of alveolar ridge is compressible more than 2mm, this willresult in a mobile soft tissue (flabby tissues). This occurs when hyperplastic soft tissue replaces the alveolarbone. During conventional impression procedures, the flabby tissues are compressed and will later tendto recoil and dislodge the resulting overlying denture. This article aims to presents a case report for theprosthodontic rehabilitation of a patient with a flabby tissue with a modified window impression technique.

“Horizontal” and “Vertical” Semantic Associations in a Poem: A Translator’s Perspective
Authors: Устинова Е.С.
Published: April 2021

В статье обосновывается гипотетическая возможность перемещения смыслообразующих элементов — сем, слов, художественных деталей — в пределах стихотворения без нарушения его смысловой целостности. Локальные смещения соседних строк могут быть обусловлены (или, по крайней мере, разрешены) синтаксическими особенностями языка перевода. Перестановка же ключевых элементов из одной строфы в другую иногда также бывает оправдана, но только при условии, что «горизонтальные» (контактные) и «вертикальные» (дистантные) связи в концептосфере стихотворения достаточно прочны и достаточно гибки, чтобы не разрываться и не искажать текстуальную семантику ключевых слов-концептов. Хранителем текстуального смысла может быть и слово, и отдельная сема, которая способна выразить смысл, заложенный в оригинале, будучи встроенной в иную лексическую единицу, иную часть речи.
Степень оправданности или недопустимости переводческих девиаций обсуждается на примерах. Основной поэтический материал — стихотворение А. А. Тарковского «И я ниоткуда…» — рассматривается
в оригинале и в переводе автора статьи.

The paper hypothetically suggests the tentative possibility, for a translator of poetry, of shifting semantic units (words, semantic components, telling details) from one stanza to another within the architectonic structure of a verse. The author examines conditions which may call for such a shift. While local shifts between the neighbouring lines may be necessitated by the peculiarities of the receptor language syntax, more distant (“vertical”) shifts may be risked by the translator in order give more emphasis to a vital image, to give his/her lines “breathing space”, or even for the sake of getting the right rhyme. The paper argues that the intra-stanza and inter-stanza semantic ties are implicitly, but traceably, embedded in the original text. And if these are strong enough and elastic enough to with stand the shifting of concepts, the translated verse retains the poet’s voice and emotional impact, though vital components of this or that key concept may be rendered by a different part of speech.
The author’s postulates are illustrated by examples, chiefly drawn from Arseny Tarkovsky’s verse “И я ниоткуда…” (“And from nowhere I came …”), the original being accompanied by our translation into English.

Authors: Göher Vural Feyzan
Published: April 2021

Tarihsel müzikoloji, yazılı tarihi kaynaklar kadar, geçmiş dönemler hakkında ipuçları barındıran her türlü materyalden faydalanır. Araştırılan döneme ilişkin resim, heykel, mimari eserler gibi seramikler ve seramik dekorları da tarihsel müzikolojinin araştırma alanına girer. Bilhassa Büyük Selçuklulara ilişkin pek çok eser ve yazılı kaynağın tahribata uğradığı göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, bu seramiklerle günümüze taşınan bilgileri okumak, daha da önemli olmaktadır. Günümüzde kullanımı son derece azalmış olan, ancak Türk müzik tarihinde milattan önceki dönemlere kadar takip edebildiğimiz "çeng"in Selçuklu seramiklerinde yer alma durumuna ilişkin gerçekleştirdiğimiz bu araştırmada, dünyadaki çeşitli müze ve koleksiyonlardan edinmiş olduğumuz Selçuklu seramiklerinde yer alan çeng çalgıları tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda, Selçuklu dönemi çenglerinin açık ve köşeli arplar sınıfına dâhil, kasnağı işlemeli ve farklı burguluk özelliklerine sahip bir çalgı olduğu görülmüştür. Çalgının incelenen dönemde son derece popüler olduğu, sıklıkla kadınlar tarafından icra edildiği, hükümdarın da bulunduğu eğlence sahnelerinde tek başına ya da ud, tef gibi diğer çalgılarla birlikte yer aldığı tespit edilmiştir.
Selanik’teki XVI. Yüzyıla Ait Vakıflardan Biri: Yakub Paşa’nın Vakıf Eserleri ve Vakfettikleri
Authors: Bayrak Ferli̇baş Meral
Published: April 2021

II. Bayezid dönemi vezirlerinden olan Yakub Paşa, XVI. yüzyıl başlarında Selanik merkezde cami, zaviye ve çeşme inşa ettirerek bir vakıf kurmuş ayrıca -muhtemelen bir zaviye kütüphanesi oluşturmak amacıyla- çok sayıda kitap bağışlamıştır. Vakfiyede Bayır Mahallesi'nde yaptırıldığı ifade edilen bu vakıf eserlere zamanla bir imaret de dahil olmuş, imaretin hizmetini devam ettirmesini sağlamak neredeyse vakfın birincil gayesi haline gelmiştir. Paşa bu vakıf eserlerin faaliyetlerini sürdürebilmesi için nüfusunun büyük kısmının gayrimüslim olduğu Maruda/Karoye isimli bir köy ile büyük bir ev bağışlamış, satılarak elde edilen parayla vakfa gelir sağlayacak mülk alınması şartıyla ayrıca çok sayıda menkul vakfetmiştir. Bu gayrimenkullerden başka Virlanova/Virlaniç adındaki bir Müslüman köyü ile çok sayıda hane ve dükkan sonradan vakfın gelir kaynakları arasına katılmıştır. Köylerden alınan vergiler ve diğer taşınmazların kiralarıyla zemin gelirleri, vakfın kesintisiz hizmet vermesini sağlamış, vakıf çalışanlarının ücretleri ve kurumlar için yapılan tüm harcamalar bu gelirlerden karşılanmıştır. Vakfiyenin esas alındığı çalışmada, bazı arşiv materyaline dayanarak vakfın XVI. yüzyılı değerlendirilmiş, verilen bilgiler bu dönemle sınırlandırılmıştır. Aslında vakıf uzun ömürlü olmuş, Selanik'te Osmanlı egemenliği boyunca hayrâtını ve akarâtını koruyarak kuruluş amacı doğrultusunda hizmet sunmuştur.
Matter Density Distribution of General Relativistic Highly Magnetized Jets Driven by Black Holes
Authors: Ogihara Taiki , Ogawa Takumi , Toma Kenji
Published: April 2021

High-resolution very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) radio observations have resolved the detailed emission structures of active galactic nucleus jets. General relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations have improved the understanding of jet production physics, although theoretical studies still have difficulty constraining the origin and distribution of jetted matter. We construct a new steady, axisymmetric GRMHD jet model to obtain approximate solutions of black hole (BH) magnetospheres, and examine the matter density distribution of jets. By assuming fixed poloidal magnetic field shapes that mimic force-free analytic solutions and GRMHD simulation results and assuming constant poloidal velocity at the separation surface, which divides the inflow and outflow, we numerically solve the force balance between the field lines at the separation surface and analytically solve the distributions of matter velocity and density along the field lines. We find that the densities at the separation surface in our parabolic field models roughly follow

in the far zone from the BH, where r
ss is the radius of the separation surface. When the BH spin is larger or the velocity at the separation surface is smaller, the density at the separation surface becomes concentrated closer to the jet edge. Our semianalytic model, combined with radiative transfer calculations, may help us interpret the high-resolution VLBI observations and understand the origin of jetted matter.
Radio Spectral Index Analysis of Southern Hemisphere Symbiotic Stars

Published: April 2021

Symbiotic stars show emission across the electromagnetic spectrum from a wide array of physical processes. At centimeter waves, both synchrotron and thermal emissions are seen, often highly variable and associated with outbursts in the optical and X-rays. Most models of the radio emission include an ionized region within the dense wind of the red giant star that is kept ionized by activity on the white dwarf companion or its accretion disk. In some cases, there is ongoing shell burning on the white dwarf due to its high mass accretion rate or a prior nova eruption; in other cases, nuclear fusion occurs only occasionally as recurrent nova events. In this study, we measure the spectral indices of a sample of symbiotic systems in the Southern Hemisphere using the Australia Telescope Compact Array. Putting our data together with results from other surveys, we derive the optical depths and brightness temperatures of some well-known symbiotic stars. Using parallax distances from Gaia Data Release 3, we determine the sizes and characteristic electron densities in the radio emission regions. The results show a range of a factor of 104 in radio luminosity and a factor of 100 in linear size. These numbers are consistent with a picture where the rate of shell burning on the white dwarf determines the radio luminosity. Therefore, our findings also suggest that radio luminosity can be used to determine whether a symbiotic star is powered by accretion alone or also by shell burning.
Probing the Solar Meridional Circulation Using Fourier Legendre Decomposition
Authors: Braun D. C. , Birch A. C. , Fan Y.
Published: April 2021

We apply the helioseismic methodology of Fourier Legendre decomposition to 88 months of Dopplergrams obtained by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) as the basis of inferring the depth variation of the mean meridional flow, as averaged between 20° and 60° latitude and in time, in both the northern and southern hemispheres. We develop and apply control procedures designed to assess and remove center-to-limb artifacts using measurements obtained by performing the analysis with respect to artificial poles at the east and west limbs. Forward modeling is carried out using sensitivity functions proportional to the mode kinetic energy density to evaluate the consistency of the corrected frequency shifts with models of the depth variation of the meridional circulation in the top half of the convection zone. The results, taken at face value, imply substantial differences between the meridional circulation in the northern and southern hemispheres. The inferred presence of a return (equatorward propagating) flow at a depth of approximately 40 Mm below the photosphere in the northern hemisphere is surprising and appears to be inconsistent with many other helioseismic analyses. This discrepancy may be the result of the inadequacy of our methodology to remove systematic errors in HMI data. Our results appear to be at least qualitatively similar to those by Gizon et al., which point to an anomaly in HMI data that is not present in MDI or GONG data.
Fermi-LAT Detection of GeV γ-Ray Emission from the Highly Asymmetric Shell Supernova Remnant SNR G317.3-0.2
Authors: Xiang Yunchuan , Jiang Zejun , Tang Yunyong
Published: April 2021

In this paper, we report the first extended GeV γ-ray emission, at a significant level of ∼8.13σ, from the region of the supernova remnant SNR G317.3-0.2 by analyzing ∼12.2 yr of Fermi Large Area Telescope Pass 8 data in the work. The best-fit position of the new γ-ray source matches that of the 843 MHz radio energy band of SNR G317.3-0.2, and there is no significant variability of the photon flux of the corresponding light curve in the data for the 12.2 yr period. Therefore, by excluding other known γ-ray sources or candidates within a 2σ error radius from the best-fit position of SNR G317.3-0.2, we suggest that the γ-ray source is likely to be a GeV counterpart of SNR G317.3-0.2.

The recent Landscape Plan of Tuscany Region pays particular attention towards the floodplain woods, for their conservation concern, landscape, and historical importance. The floodplain forest vegetation is defined as the natural and semi-natural wood vegetation located close to the rivers and submerged only during exceptional flooding. We gathered 180 both published and unpublished relevés coming from Tuscany and carried out in floodplain woods, where Alnus glutinosa, Fraxinus angustifolia subsp. oxycarpa, Quercus robur, Ulmus minor, Carpinus betulus, Populus nigra, P. alba and Salix alba were dominant, alone or in consociation with each other. On this dataset we performed a multivariate analysis, and the resulting groups were characterized by several points of view: floristic, ecological, chorological, by mean of diagnostic species, with the use of EIV. Moreover, their distribution in Tuscany was better defined. According to our results, six associations were found to be present in Tuscany. Thereby, one new association and three new subassociations were proposed. The syntaxonomic arrangement above the association level was discussed, with particular attention to the Italian Fraxinus angustifolia subsp. oxycarpa-rich communities. Finally, a comparison with the ﻿Annex I habitat types (sensu Directive 92/43/EEC) was carried out.
