Published: February 2024

Graphene is one of the most extensively studied 2D materials, exhibiting extraordinary mechanical and electronic properties. Although many years have passed since its discovery, manipulating single graphene layers is still challenging using standard resist-based lithography techniques. Recently, it has been shown that it is possible to etch graphene directly in water-assisted processes using the so-called focused electron-beam-induced etching (FEBIE), with a spatial resolution of ten nanometers. Nanopatterning graphene with such a method in one single step and without using a physical mask or resist is a very appealing approach. During the process, on top of graphene nanopatterning, we have found significant morphological changes induced in the SiO2 substrate even at low electron dose values (<8 nC/μm2). We demonstrate that graphene etching and topographical changes in SiO2 substrates can be controlled via electron beam parameters such as dwell time and dose.
Unveiling The Double-Edged Effects of High-Performance Work Systems (HPWS) On Employee Performance: A Case Study of a Selected Company in Durban Republic of South Africa
Authors: Bangura Samuel
Published: February 2024

It has been documented that HPWS has both positive and negative effects on employee performance. However, limited studies are affirming this view therefore the review provides a comprehensive understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of HPWS in organisations.To aim of the study is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the strengths and weaknesses in the applications of HPWS in organisations. Under the research goals, a qualitative research methodology was utilised, specifically using in-depth interviews to collect data. The target population consisted of 6 employees of the organisation studied. These individuals were purposefully selected as they possess the necessary information to assess the perceived effects of HPWS on employee performance in organisations. For data analysis, the qualitative thematic data analysis approach was employed. The usage of thematic analysis in this study is founded on its ability to offer comprehensive and compelling insights into the concept of HPWS.Based on the six-step approach of qualitative thematic analysis, the findings suggest that the combination of employee motivation and strategic human resources management practices with HPWS can enhance employee performance. Nevertheless, it has been noted that improper implementation of HPWS can result in heightened job demands and burnout among employees. Therefore, incorporating an evidence-based approach in implementing HPWS is recommended. The study has a limitation as it solely utilizes a qualitative approach, leading to constraints in terms of statistical measurement. Consequently, it is recommended for future studies to employ quantitative or mixed methods research to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the relationship between HPWS and employee performance.This study recommends that human resource management professionals use this research as a catalyst for implementing HPWS in their organisations. It can offer valuable guidance on effectively utilising HPWS as a concept and practical approach in managing human resources within organisations.The study highlights and postulate the importance of motivation and an evidence-based approach to HPWS. The evidence-based approach can be acknowledged as a contemporary approach to human resource management in organisations.

Published: February 2024

Realizing that not everyone can tell stories well and engagingly, a researcher is interested in investigating the communication patterns of storytellers in creating audience responses in the "Kumpul Dongeng Surabaya" community. The goal is to understand the methods or communication patterns storytellers use to deliver their stories.Using a qualitative descriptive method, the researcher employs the S-O-R (Stimulus-Organism-Response) theory, which aims to determine: 1. Stimulus, 2. Organism, and 3. Response through observations, data collection, and interviews with four informants (storytellers and audience members) from the "Kumpul Dongeng Surabaya" community in order to obtain accurate data. To ensure that their stories captivate the audience and prevent them from losing interest, storytellers must skillfully design themes that cater to the audience's needs. Additionally, storytellers utilize vocal intonation and nonverbal cues, as well as visual aids such as puppets, wayang (traditional Javanese shadow puppets), illustrations, clowns, and sound effects. Furthermore, in the storytelling group, the message (stimulus) conveyed to evoke the storyteller's response should also be delivered using a structured scheme.

Symbolic Interaction in Tiktok's Live Streaming: A Study of Influencer-Viewers Engagement
Authors: Melani Elsa Rakhma , Ahmad Zamzamy
Published: February 2024

In the contemporary digital landscape, social media has evolved into a pervasive phenomenon, serving as a medium for communication and interaction in the virtual realm, liberated from the confines of space and time—epitomized by the omnipresent live streaming feature. TikTok, distinguished by its live streaming functionality, emerges as the paramount social media platform, attracting users ranging from influencers to artists. Central to social media interaction is the adept representation of communicative intentions. This research probes the intricacies of TikTok's live streaming feature as a symbolic interaction medium between influencers and their audience. Employing a qualitative descriptive methodology, the researcher elucidates insights derived from in-depth interviews and observations. The study is anchored in Herbert Mead's symbolic interactionism, with a specific focus on the dimensions of mind, self, and society. Findings spotlight that influencers, within the realm of the mind concept, prioritize augmenting their follower count, with some anticipating financial contributions from the audience to address familial needs. Within the self-concept domain, a subset of influencers directs attention to leveraging symbolic features of live streaming to express their self-concept. Symbols such as likes, comments, shares, and viewers are regarded as potent conveyors of messages pertaining to identity and emotions, particularly within the micro-influencer domain. Concurrently, the audience tends to emulate the self-concept of the influencers they follow. In the societal context, unanimity prevails among informants regarding the imperative adherence to collectively endorsed rules and norms, notably the regulatory policies instituted by TikTok for live streaming.
The Transformation of Local Actors in the Globalization Process
Authors: Mahmut Mert Aslan  , Hatice Erbay
Published: February 2024

It is known that the dizzying development of mass communication technologies has transformed the people of the world into a global family. When it comes to globalization, it is a fact that the powerful actors ruthlessly swallow the local ones, and the discourses that everything local is erased hold a larger place in the memories; however, the erosion of local elements should not be considered as an absolute negative situation. In this context, all local actors, from local businesses operating in different sectors to primitive cultural groups isolated from the world, have gained worldwide advertising and promotion opportunities with globalization. From this point of view, it can be said that the fact that the local actors have the opportunity to promote, share and cooperate on a global scale is more meaningful than the fact that the global ones have become a more dominant power in the world. Concepts such as local business”,“ local newspaper and “local television channel” are no longer valid. There seems to be little place for the concept of “local” in the world, thanks to globalization. It should be added that the globalization of the local actors also includes the meaning of transferring some features from the global ones and evolving towards them.

This study was carried out with the literature review method and aims to shed light on the direction of change of local actors in the globalization process.

FREIGHT RATE AND DEMAND FORECASTING IN ROAD FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION USING ECONOMETRIC AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE METHODS
Authors: Liachovičius Edvardas , Šabanovič Eldar , Skrickij Viktor
Published: February 2024

The digitisation of the transportation sector and data availability have opened up new opportunities to implement data-driven methods for improving company performance. This article analyses demand and freight rate forecasting techniques in the context of the road freight transportation company. The European market was analysed in this research, and direction from the Netherlands to Italy was selected for the case study. Performed investigation showed that econometric models such as Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) used for demand prognosis provide good results. Freight rate forecasting is different; econometric models, including multivariate models ARIMA with exogenous variables (ARIMAX) and Seasonal ARIMAX (SARIMAX), do not perform satisfactorily under specified time intervals, therefore MultiLayer Perceptron (MLP) was used as a solution. It can be seen that Artificial Intelligence (AI) based methods provide better results. Despite its success, the AI-based approach alone is not recommended for practical implementation since forecasted input parameters are necessary. Lastly, the study uncovers a valuable insight. A strong correlation (0.86) between spot and contract rates was found, and the article shows how current spot rates can be used for contract rate forecasting.
A Cacophony of Echoes from Daily Monitoring of the Crab Pulsar at Jodrell Bank

Published: February 2024

Using archival data from the 42-foot telescope at the Jodrell Bank Observatory, we produce daily stacks of aligned giant pulses for the Crab pulsar, to study changes to the daily profiles between 2012 April and 2016 December. From these, we identify echoes, where intervening material away from the line of sight causes pulsed emission to be redirected toward the observer, with delay corresponding to the increased distance of travel, resulting in additional profile components. These observations show that such echoes may be far more common than implied by the previous rate of detections. All the observed echoes are consistent with approaching zero delay at their closest approach to the normal giant pulse emission. This indicates that the structures responsible for producing these events must be highly anisotropic, with typical lengths greater than ∼4 au, typical widths on the sky of ∼0.1 au, and typical depths of ∼5 au, given the previously observed electron densities of the nebular filaments, on the order of 1000 cm−3. This suggests that these inhomogeneities are likely to be offshoot substructure from the larger nebular filaments of the Crab nebula.
Formation of PSR J1012+5307 with an Extremely Low-mass White Dwarf: Testing Magnetic Braking Models
Authors: Wei Na , Xu Kun , Gao Zhi-Fu , Jiang Long , Chen Wen-Cong
Published: February 2024

PSR J1012+5307 is a millisecond pulsar with an extremely low-mass white dwarf (WD) companion in an orbit of 14.5 hr. Magnetic braking (MB) plays an important role in influencing the orbital evolution of binary systems with a low-mass (≲1–2 M
⊙) donor star. At present, there exist several different MB descriptions. In this paper, we investigate the formation of PSR J1012+5307 as a probe to test plausible MB models. Employing a detailed stellar evolution model with the MESA code, we find that the convection- and rotation-boosted MB and “Intermediate” MB models can reproduce the WD mass, WD radius, WD surface gravity, neutron star mass, and orbital period observed in PSR J1012+5307. However, our simulated WD has a higher effective temperature than the observations. Three other MB mechanisms, including the standard MB model, are too weak to account for the observed orbital period in the Hubble time. A long cooling timescale caused by H-shell flashes of the WD may alleviate the discrepancy between the simulated effective temperature and the observed value.

The investigation of oxidative indicators showed a significant increase in the activity of liver and gill superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) after the period exposure. At the end of the test period, the highest Se exposure also resulted in a significant rise in glutathione (GSH) levels in the liver and gills. Following exposure to waterborne Se, catalase activity showed different patterns in fish organs: liver > brain > gills > kidney > muscle. In the investigation of neurotoxicity, waterborne Se exposure reduced AChE activity in the muscles and brain tissues. Additionally, waterborne Se exposure significantly elevated plasma and kidney lysozyme activity in non-specific immune responses. At high Se concentrations, peroxidase and anti-protease activities were reduced. These alterations in parameters can be considered as suitable indicators for evaluating Se toxicity in the aquatic ecosystem.
Another one bites the dust: A new Lithoserix species (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Pimplinae) from the early Oligocene in France, with an evaluation of wing morphometrics
Authors: Viertler Alexandra
Published: February 2024

A new Darwin wasp species, Lithoserix oublierisp. nov. is described and illustrated from the early Oligocene limestone formation Calcaires de Campagne-Calavon in the Luberon Region, France. It represents the third species of this extinct genus, which was first described from the late Eocene Florissant Formation in Colorado, US and later found in Aix-en-Provence, France, from the late Oligocene. The taxonomic placement of this genus in the context of tribal classification is analysed and discussed, based on geometric morphometrics of the fore and hind wing venation of fossil and extant Pimplinae species. The results suggest that Lithoserix does not belong to the same group as the extinct genus Crusopimpla, but rather represents a more basal genus within Pimplini or belongs to an extinct separate tribe, closely related to Pimplini.

Published: February 2024

Piper motuoense X.W.Qin, F.Su & C.Y.Hao, a new species of Piperaceae from Xizang, China, is described and illustrated in this paper. The new species resembles P. yinkiangense and P. anisotis, but it can be readily distinguished from the compared species by several characteristics. Gonophyll leaves are chartaceous and the leaf secondary vein count is 7–9, with the outermost pair being very weak when there are nine veins. Additionally, the apical pair arises 2–4 cm above the base and the leaf base is asymmetrical, with bilateral petioles that cling and heal together. Pistillate floral bracts are sessile, with 3, 4 or 5 stigmas. The description of the new species includes photographs, detailed descriptions, notes on etymology, distribution and habitat, as well as comparisons with morphologically similar species.
La mondialisation du marché des joueurs internationaux de rugby à xv
Authors: Le Lay Yvonnick
Published: February 2024

Depuis l’officialisation de la professionnalisation du rugby à xv en 1995, un marché mondialisé de joueurs internationaux s’est progressivement structuré. Favorisé par la lex ovalia et inscrit dans une logique néolibérale, il témoigne spécifiquement de la dialectique de la mondialisation. Si l’intensification et la multiplication de ces flux d’athlètes traduisent l’élargissement de ce marché et les connections croissantes entre les régions du monde, la mise en relief de territoires d’expatriation privilégiés confirme la fragmentation du monde, qui est marqué par de fortes asymétries entre les territoires nationaux, des inégalités économiques et des différences culturelles majeures.

The low therapeutic index of available trypanocidal drugs and the increasing emergence of resistant Trypanosoma parasites indicate the urgent need to develop new strategies for trypanosomiasis control. One such strategy is the screening of medicinal plants as sources of new lead compounds. Trypanosoma brucei brucei is a sub-species only infecting animals and thus largely used to screen anti-trypanosomal potential of various substances. Therefore, the present study investigates the anti-trypanosomal activity of crude extract, hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and aqueous fractions of Spathodea campanulata P. Beauv. flowers, Trichoscypha acuminata Engl. stem bark, and Ficus elastica Roxb. Ex Hornem lianas using the Alamar Blue assay. Overall results showed that the crude extract of T. acuminata, S. campanulate, and F. elastica did not significantly reduce the viability of Trypanosoma brucei brucei at the tested concentration of 25 µg/mL. However, the hexane and dichloromethane fractions of T. acuminata and the hexane fraction of F. elastica exhibited viability percentages of 23.2 ± 10.5, 18.2 ± 9.7, and 20.1 ± 13.1% with IC50 values of 5.5, 5.0, and 17.5 µg/mL, respectively. Further research to identify compounds responsible for the observed activity and their mechanisms of action towards new leads in parasitical drug discovery is needed.
Re-escribir la historia y construir la realeza a mediados del siglo XII. Una perspectiva desde el Privilegio de los votos de Santiago
Authors: Isla Frez Amancio
Published: February 2024

El Privilegio de los votos es una falsificación realizada en Santiago a mediados del siglo XII que pretende captar recursos para los canónigos compostelanos. Aquí lo estudiamos como modo de entender el pasado de la monarquía y el reino y de re-escribir la Historia. También analizamos su interés en promover una via regia, siendo como un breve speculum principis. El Privilegio resalta al rey como jefe militar, verdadero rey frente a unos reyes inútiles que sitúa en el pasado e insiste en su capacidad legisladora, revelando la formación jurídica del redactor. Todo este discurso se mueve dentro de los límites de la retórica medieval.

Published: February 2024

Educators need to support all students' learning needs to provide equitable access to online learning. During the COVID-19 crisis, the abrupt and unplanned shift to online learning did not support the learning of all students. This was a challenge, but it was also a valuable learning experience for a better future. With proper planning, educators can provide all students with high-quality online learning experiences when the delivery of knowledge is challenged. This chapter discusses how the community of inquiry enhances the quality of online learning while also promotes inclusivity. There are multiple approaches to examining strategies that support diversity, equity, and inclusivity in online environments. Universal design for learning principles are considered in relation to the literature on inclusive and accessible teaching and learning for a broader range of students with and without disabilities. The chapter concludes by envisioning what online learning might look like in the future.
