A method for identifying conflict relations between business process subjects based on paired correlations of mutual assessments
Authors: Kraev Viacheslav , Masich Igor , Tikhonov Alexei
Published: October 2022

In this paper, a method of identifying conflict relations between the subjects of business processes is presented. The proposed solution seems quite important due to the high sensitivity of modern high-tech enterprises’ business processes to negative factors, as well as the need to develop correct management decisions in conflict situations. A company’s ability to identify internal conflicts and to take them into account during management decision-making is a feature of an effective business process. Modern methods of conflict detection that are available for practical use are able to identify conflict situations only at the stage of open conflict. In this case, the impact of the conflict on the business process is already material and may lead to deterioration in the company’s performance. Unfortunately, existing methods have a significant disadvantage: they are not able to identify conflicts at an early stage, when the impact of the situation on the business process is not noticeable. An innovative approach based on analytical processing of survey-based data is proposed. This approach is able to identify hidden conflicts among employees of the enterprise. Identifying a conflict situation at an early stage makes it possible to manage conflict and reduce subsequent financial loss.
The Use and Development of Lexical Bundles in Arab EFL Writing: A Corpus-driven Study
Authors: Sanosi Abdulaziz B
Published: October 2022

Background. Lexical Bundles (LBs) have become the focus of many recent corpus linguistics studies. Research has found variable use of LBs in terms of quality and quantity pertaining to different linguistic groups or registers. Still, there is a paucity of research investigating Arab EFL writers’ use and development of such a feature.

Purpose. This study investigates the 4-word LBs use and development by Arab EFL learners and expert writers in a corpus of 250000 words regarding their frequency, functions, and structure.

Methods. Two corpora were compiled for Arab learners and scholars. The LB use of both groups was compared to investigate the development of LB use. Further, the Arab corpus was analysed against a native reference corpus extracted from the British Academic Written English (BAWE) corpus to compare LB use across the two corpora.

Results and Implications. The results imply that there is no noticeable effect of postgraduate education or professional practice on using LBs. The other results, however, are in-line with the previous literature in that native speakers’ use of LBs varies in quantity and quality from non-natives’. The findings reveal that stance LBs are more frequent in the native corpus and that they tend to use more VP-based clausal LBs than their non-native counterparts. These findings offer empirical evidence that EFL writing quality is lower despite the current academic writing instruction they receive. They, therefore, indicate the need to foster academic writing instruction programs to include training on using LBs in learners’ writing at both Bachelor and postgraduate levels. Also, the results are expected to raise teachers’ awareness of how EFL learners use LBs to develop their writing quality and thus to adapt their teaching strategies accordingly. Moreover, Arab scholars are called to reconsider their use of effective writing techniques including LBs for more effective writing.
The Construction of Knowledge Claims in Three Disciplines: An Exploration of Hedging and Boosting Strategies in Research Articles Written in English by Arab and Anglophone Writers
Authors: AlGhamdi Ghada Ali , Suleiman Alyousef Hesham
Published: October 2022

Background. Academic writers utilize a variety of rhetorical methods to construct their knowledge claims through hedges and boosters. These two strategies may also be affected by disciplinary, cultural, or generic contexts. 

Purpose. This mixed-methods contrastive research study explored how disciplinary and cultural contexts may affect the way Arab and Anglophone writers construct and modulate knowledge claims through hedges and boosters in the results and discussion sections of 90 English research articles in three disciplines: Journalism, Law, and Political Science.

Methods. Instances of hedges and boosters and their pragmatic functions in context were identified, employing Liu and Tseng’s (2021) framework. This framework provides a detailed functional interpretation of the use and variation of these devices along four continuums: authorial voice, reasoning, consensus-building, and information evaluation.

Results. The results showed interesting contrasts and similarities between both groups regarding the approaches they used to define their levels of commitment and detachment in their knowledge claims. The quantitative findings revealed significant differences in hedges but non-significant differences in boosters used by both groups. The qualitative analysis revealed that hedging and boosting functions in Arab and Anglophone writers’ RAs differed along the four continuums. Anglophone writers often used hedges in their writing to show humility, negotiate knowledge claims, and accommodate vagueness. These acts enabled them to sketch the realities emerging from their research. By contrast, the English-speaking Arab writers used fewer hedging strategies and demonstrated assertiveness, and assumed shared knowledge to enhance the realities constructed in their knowledge claims.

Implications. These findings can benefit ESP/EAP teachers, especially those teaching writing for publication purposes to raise postgraduate students’ awareness of epistemic modality markers. A custom-made ESP/EAP course tailored to the needs of learners based on Liu and Tseng’s (2021) hedging-boosting framework can be devised to develop communicative and academic strategies in English.
Exploring the Impact of Process-genre Approach on Learners’ Academic Writing and Higher Order Thinking Skills
Authors: Wardhana Dian Eka Chandra
Published: October 2022

Background. The study of using process-genre approach that was used to increase the writing competence had been conducted by many researchers. However, the contirbution of this learning approach for HOTs aspects has not been done by many researchers, especially on learning writing Indonesian

Purpose. Many studies only focused on one research approach, consequently, the finding was not quite comprehensive. Besides, to examine the effect of process-genre approach on academic writing competence and HOTs, this research also aimed to explore attitude and students’ expectation on their learning experience by using this approach.

Method. The research used a sequential, mixed-method explanatory approach. Two grades were randomly chosen to enroll in the experimental class and a monitoring class of up to 52 students. The individual is a member of the Indonesian language education department who is currently taking the writing 1 course at the Bengkulu University, Indonesia. There are two instruments used in this analysis, the writing test & HOTs test for Quantitative statistics and semi-structured qualitative data interviews. The data from the writing test and the HOTs were quantitatively analysed for the paired sample t-test, the stand-alone sample t-test and the MANOVA, while the interview data were analysed using thematic analysis techniques.

Results and Implications. The results have found that process-genre approach had a substantial positive effect on scholarly writing and student HOTs. Besides, thematic research also reveals that there are favorable views and expectations of students regarding the influence of the process-genre approach towards academic writing and student HOTs. This finding is iexpected to enrich knowledge about how students could enhance their writing ability and HOTs by using process-genre approach.

The current status of Barbus species in Lake Victoria Basin, Kenya: A review
Authors: Emily Jepyegon Chemoiwa
Published: October 2022

Lake Victoria is known for its rich fish biodiversity having been home to over 500 fish species. However, over 200 species have become extinct and as a result, it is classified as a world hotspot of species loss. Some of the examples of endemic species that disappeared from the lake and are endangered include the Haplochromines and the Barbus species. The Barbus species is currently not seen in the fish landings from Lake Victoria. It is deemed to have sought refuge in the riverine ecosystems, dams and the adjacent satellite lakes within the Lake Victoria Basin. This has resulted in several gaps emerging including its current status as its taxonomical identification still remains a puzzle to many scientists. This paper, therefore, tries to unearth the foregoing by reviewing the already available literature with an emphasis on the LVB Kenyan part. The Labeobarbus altianalis is still named Barbus altianalis even in the most recent publications thus complicating further. In its distribution, the Barbus species does not occur in the lake currently but is a common candidate in the rivers, dams and satellite lakes within the basin. Some of the cited reasons for its disappearance: are predation by Lates niloticus, overfishing, competition from exotic species, pollution and climate change. However, different studies try to pinpoint its presence in some rivers and this according to an observation made in this study is due to biased sampling, which excludes some rivers in the basin. It is concluded that the taxonomic identification of Barbus species in LVB Kenya remains elusive and this has been blamed on skewed sampling with little regard to all ecosystems in the basin. The paper recommends that an elaborate simultaneous study be done in all the rivers within the LVB, Kenya to collect reliable data for use in Barbus species taxonomy and general biology. Further, county governments in the basin should develop sound policy frameworks on how to sustainably manage riverine fisheries including the domestication of the species in aquaculture.

crítica del superyó en la filosofía de Theodor Adorno
Authors: Duque Monsalve Luisa Fernanda
Published: October 2022

Se presentan los resultados de una investigación de maestría que a partir de la filosofía de Theodor Adorno defendió la tesis de que el psicoanálisis es fundamental para abordar críticamente la pregunta por la libertad de los hombres en el capitalismo tardío. Específicamente, en este artículo se desarrolla la crítica de Adorno al superyó, basada en el psicoanálisis de Freud, para evidenciar de qué manera la moral superyoica limita la libertad de los individuos al imponerles mandatos heterónomos que operan mediante mecanismos inconscientes afines a la interiorización de la coacción social. Pero también se desarrollará la idea de Adorno de que en el superyó se encuentra el sustento de una idea de solidaridad humana que podría ser uno de los motivantes de la lucha por la emancipación humana.
L’Imaginaire y el descubrimiento sartreano
Authors: Cardozo Beltran Arturo Alberto
Published: October 2022

Desde los primeros libros publicados por Jean Paul Sartre se puede observar la crítica que hace el autor francés a la tradición metafísica de occidente, dirigida en específico a filósofos de la modernidad. Por ejemplo, L’Imagination y lo L’Imaginaire son dos textos consagrados a cuestionar “los grandes sistemas metafísicos”,[1] además, en estas primeras investigaciones, Sartre descubre un principio que le permitiría elaborar su obra El ser y la nada ¿Cuál es este principio? Saber cuál es este principio y su importancia en la elaboración del Ser y la Nada, corresponde al objetivo principal de este ensayo, para lograrlo, se estudiará la crítica que hace Sartre a filósofos de la modernidad (Descartes y Hume) y su propuesta para superar, lo que en palabras del mismo Sartre denomina: “metafísica ingenua de la imagen” (1978, p. 9), que no es más que el hecho de cosificar a la imagen.

Subgrade soil stabilization using marine debris: A literature review
Authors: Muñoz Pérez Sócrates P. , Aguilar Morante José Giancarlo , Díaz Flores Ingrit Paola
Published: October 2022

The use of different marine residues found in the great biodiversity of the Peruvian coast, such as crushed mollusk shells or fan shells, can be used as mechanical stabilizers for clay soils due to a change in granulometry. In this article, we reviewed 74 research studies indexed in different databases such as Scopus, Scielo, Ebsco, Proquest, Springer Link, and ScienceDirect, whose publication has not exceeded seven years, with the objective of carrying out a systematic review of the use, effect and influence of marine debris as soil stabilizers. For this purpose, the analyses of the mechanical and also physical properties of such mixtures in different marine debris were reviewed compared to the various types of stabilizers currently used. These evaluated results indicate, that the Pacific razor clam shell offers a lower bearing capacity compared to the fan shell when stabilizing clayey soil. However, the shredded output of both types of marine debris can meet the need for clay subgrade stabilization. Based on the review, it was determined that the addition of different types of shredded marine debris reduces water absorption by capillarity, increasing the resistance and bearing capacity of the soil.
The Relationship of Leadership Style to Commitment: Choreographers and Student Dancers’ Perspective
Authors: Lobo Joseph T.
Published: October 2022

There have been numerous studies that were already conducted concerning the relationship between styles of leadership and commitment from various disciplines; however, there are only a few to no investigations performed regards to dance space. This present study aimed to determine the relationship between the leadership styles of choreographers and the commitment of student dancers from various Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) on the entire island of Luzon in the Philippines. The gathering of data has been conducted via an online survey using LSQ and OCQ to 105 choreographers and 228 student dancers. The findings revealed that most of the choreographers apply the democratic leadership style; while the commitment level of student dancers is moderately high. Moreover, no relationship between the leadership style and commitment was observed which accepted the null hypothesis tested for this study. Based on the yielded results, leadership and management development programs are recommended to choreographers for them to be educated on what appropriate and effective leadership style they can practice, to heighten commitment and improve their relationship with student dancers. Additionally, programs to intensify the commitment of student dancers are highly suggested. Conducting a similar study is highly recommended to support or refute the findings of this research.

Objective. The aim of this article is a brief look at the current state of development of the theory of social representations (SRs), and a discussion of problematic points of the methodology of the SRs analysis.Background. Over the sixty years of its existence, the theory of SRs has been enriched with new ideas, methodological and methodological techniques to study SR, expanded the ranks of its supporters, who answered open questions and formulated new ones. The article proposes a brief look at the development of the theory of SR and empirical approaches to SRs. The main methods of research of the SRs are discussed.Conclusions. Observing the development of the theory of SRs over the past decade, the authors find new arguments in favor of the idea expressed by G. Breakwell, that the heterogeneity of empirical approaches to SRs turned out to be not a weakness, but a strength of the theory of SRs, by giving this theoretical tradition influence within the framework of social psychology.

Radars are used in automobiles for various functionalities, starting from the obstacle alarm during vehicle reversing to advanced functionalities like autonomous driving. A practical method for monitoring people inside a vehicle for various applications (surveillance, safety, etc.) could be built using Radar. This paper presents the embedded implementation of a vital sign sensing algorithm using the radar signal processing (RSP) technique. MEX (MATLAB executable) interface is performed with the embedded C code of the vital sign sensing algorithm generated for validating the results with the RSP technique. Finally, Unit testing is performed on the developed embedded C code of the vital sign sensing algorithm to remove the dead codes and to verify whether all branches and statements in a developed algorithm are working accordingly. The embedded C code results were found to be matching precisely with the RSP technique. With the help of obtained results, we can differentiate between an adult and a baby inside a vehicle.

Sugar substrates are rich in organic compounds. However, its concentration may vary depending on the culture. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the composition of sugarcane and sorghum juices using the UV-vis technique. An evaluation of the composition of the substrates was carried out and a pre-inoculum with YPSAC 5% medium, where 0.10 grams of FT858 yeast was inoculated and kept incubated at 30°C for 24h at 250rpm. The cells were recovered by centrifugation, resulting in a concentration of 10 mg mL-1 of wet mass that was inoculated into 50 mL of the previously prepared fermentation medium with a concentration of 22°Brix and pH 5.0. Aliquots were taken for evaluation of molecular absorption spectra using a spectrophotometer (Global Trade Technology). These substrates are composed of water and fermentable sugars. The evaluation of the molecular absorption spectra showed a difference in the profile of the substrates as well as in the subsequent hours of fermentation, with a decrease in the intensity of the peaks being observed that may be related to the absorption of nutrients by the yeast. vis shows promise for this type of analysis.

Foram escolhidos os anos de 1991 a 2010, devido a uma análise realizada junto ao Programa das Nações Unidas para o Desenvolvimento (PNUD) em 2013. Diante disso, o artigo visa analisar o IDH-M do Município do Amajari- RR, tendo como problema norteador saber por que o município de Amajari- RR, de 1991 até 2010, não conseguiu atingir o nível mínimo considerado para ser desenvolvido. E a fim de responder ao referido problema, contextualizou-se o tema sob os aspectos teóricos e para a construção prática desta pesquisa, consultou-se o PNUD e o IBGE. No que se refere aos resultados obtidos nesta pesquisa, com base nos dados do PNUD, demonstrou-se que o município do Amajari-RR, apresentou um baixo índice do IDH-M nos anos analisados, devido as políticas públicas relacionadas à renda, saúde e educação serem incapazes de resolver o problema do baixo desenvolvimento humano do município, bem como as peculiaridades sociais do mesmo. Constatou-se neste artigo que na região amazônica, em especial o município do Amajari- RR, as políticas públicas não resolvem os problemas do baixo resultado desses índices, pelo fato do município se encontrar numa situação onde parte da sua população vive em um sistema pré-capitalista, onde a renda e a educação comum no sistema capitalista não são as principais prioridades dessa parcela da população.

Saliva is a complex secretion from three major and various minor salivary glands present in mouth. From clinical point of view saliva is an ideal diagnostic fluid because it is non-invasive fluid and can be easily be collected from the patients for biochemical analysis. The other significant characteristic pertinent to saliva is the handling procedure which is much simpler in comparison with serum or blood. There is plethora of studies which shows a positive correlation between blood biomarkers and salivary biomarkers in different clinical conditions of oral and systemic diseases. Saliva has an important role in maintain oral health through variety of its secretions like calcium, phosphorus, Bacteriocins, salivary leukocyte protease inhibitors different enzymes like ptyalin, amylase for carbohydrate and protein metabolism which maintains tooth integrity when there is demineralization and also acts as first line defense against various bacterial and viral infections. In 21 century endodontic there is a paradigm shift in research on the change in composition of the saliva and biomarkers in presence of periodontal / pulpal and other systemic diseases. Molecular methods for identification and quantification of salivary biomarkers like IL-6, IL-8, MMPs are available at chair side for rapid diagnosis of various inflammatory or infective etiology of oral diseases.

Due to their benefits, including immediate aesthetics, minimum invasion, cost effectiveness, adhesion to tooth structure, and chair side treatment options, direct anterior composite restorative procedures have been very popular in recent years. The most frequent reason for tissue loss in the aesthetic zone of the dentition is a severe damage to the dental hard tissue. The aesthetic restoration of maxillary central incisors with cracked incisal edges is difficult, difficult, and technique-sensitive. Success depends on the knowledge and abilities of the operator. It's crucial that the different hues are positioned with the appropriate thickness in addition to accurately recreating the anatomy. This case study demonstrates how to replicate the palatal structure of teeth that require aesthetic restoration using a putty index technique.
Esthetic reconstruction of teeth in dentinogenesis imperfecta – A case report

Published: October 2022

Dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI) is the result of autosomal dominant genetic defect and affects both the deciduous as well as permanent dentition. It is characterized by: opalescent teeth composed of irregularly formed and under-mineralized dentin with obliteration of pulp chamber and root canal. The teeth with DI show a greyish-blue to brown hue, dislodged enamel, dysplastic dentine with irregular dentinal tubules and interglobular dentine, short roots and pulpal obliteration. All this might lead to rapid and extensive attrition which requires adequate crown reconstruction. The aim of this case report is to show reconstruction of frontal teeth in adult patients with DI thereby providing functional and esthetic dentition.

Primary fungal epiglotitis is the isolated fungal infection of the epiglottis, without affecting the other body parts such as the larynx, lungs, pharynx, and oral cavity. It is an extremely rare clinical entity. Very few cases could be found in world literature. Pain throat and/or odynophagia are common clinical presentations. It can be secondary to inhaled steroid therapy which is usually mild.

: In this article, we introduced a rare case of fungal epiglotitis in a 66 years old immunocompetent male presented with odynophagia without any other symptom or sign. In endoscopic laryngoscopy, using a 70 scope, a white lesion on swollen epiglottis was seen and rest of larynx was normal. No cervical lymphadenopathy was seen. Laryngeal area was tender on deep palpation. Patient was put on antibiotics and anti-inflammatory agents. There was no response even after 24 hers of starting treatment. Patient was put on empirically oral antifungal treatment and he improved in 6-8 hrs.

Diagnosis of fungal epiglotitis was clinical, based on patient’s history, signs and sypmtoms. Signs included the inflammatory changes of the epiglotis and candida whitish discoloration of it. There was rapid and obvious improvement in condition of the patient, once started on oral antifungal treatment.

A mosca doméstica [Musca domestica L.,1758 (Diptera: Muscidae)] é um vetor de diversos patógenos para os seres humanos e animais. O controle das moscas nas residências e indústrias, geralmente, ocorre por meio de produtos químicos. Porém, a captura destes insetos pode ser realizada através de diferentes métodos, incluindo as armadilhas contendo atrativos alimentares. Desse modo, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar a utilização de soluções atrativas e o desenvolvimento de armadilhas artesanais para a captura de M. domestica como forma de diminuir a utilização de inseticidas. Foram testados quatro soluções como atraentes para alimentação das moscas domésticas: solução de açúcar mascavo (10%); suco de manga (30%), suco de goiaba (30%) e suco de abacaxi (30%), em cada suco foi acrescido 10% da solução com açúcar mascavo; e cinco épocas de coletas: aos 4 dias de experimento, 8 dias de experimento, 12 dias de experimento, 16 dias de experimento e aos 20 dias de experimento. Os resultados do presente estudo permitem inferir que as armadilhas artesanais contendo soluções alimentares com o açúcar mascavo (10%) são as mais eficazes na captura da M. domestica, porém, os sucos de goiaba e abacaxi não são diferentes na atratividade.
How I See my Generation's Contribution to Philosophy
Authors: Rozin V.M.
Published: October 2022

In the article, the author, on the one hand, recalls the representatives of the generation of the sixties, with whom he dealt, entering philosophy, more precisely, the Moscow Methodological Circle, on the other hand, he undertakes an analysis of well-known figures of the methodological movement (Alexander Zinoviev, Merab Mamardashvili, Georgy Shchedrovitsky), as well as the important contribution of this group of talented thinkers to the development of Russian philosophy. He shows that, as a rule, the listed thinkers were major personalities and original thinkers, and time and its ups and downs played a big role in this. If we talk about the contribution to the development of philosophy, the author considers such points as interest in the thinking of K. Marx, historical and semiotic turns, an active approach, a sociotechnical view of the role of philosophical knowledge, and finally, the formation and development of methodology. A certain place in the article is occupied by the presentation of two author's concepts (semiotic and methodological), the beginning of the creation of which refers precisely to the 1960s.
If Not a Lesson, Then a Project

Published: October 2022

The article is devoted to the world realities changing in connection with the events in Ukraine. The authors answer the questions: what lesson or project can Russia offer the world? What values should it be guided by in domestic and foreign policy? It is substantiated that values in domestic politics cannot be “traditional” in the proper sense. The values that should guide foreign policy should have a significant degree of universalism. Russia should offer a perspective aimed at improving the world system towards its greater egalitarianism and security. Our country should embody the newest modernity – in several respects more consistent, fair and humane than the Western one.
