Marketing management is a very important concept in the business world. Marketing management depends on organizational design that is tailored to market needs, especially target markets, in terms of price, distribution from suppliers to customers, and service. However, there are factors that affect the quality of an institution, namely the image of the institution (image). The views, perceptions and assessments of the public towards an institution will also affect the sustainability of the institution. Thus, the purpose of this study is to analyze theories about the role of marketing management on the existence of the image of corporate institutions. The theory used in this study is qualitative research, which is research that does not use quantitative data or statistical measuring tools. In accordance with the object of this research, this type of research is a category of library research, which is a series of studies that use literature studies. The result of his research is that marketing management has a very significant role in shaping the image of the institution. The existence of an institution's image depends on how the corporate institution packages marketing and publicizes it to the public. That marketing management also has a function to shape the company's knowledge and image for the community. Therefore, the existence of the image of the corporate institution depends on how the strategy and management of the company itself.

Utilization of Riasec Theory to Identify Career Personalities in Deaf Students: A Systematic Review
Authors: Pardi Pardi
Published: May 2024

A career is a process that a person experiences in his life. In the end, a person must have the skills to choose a career as a determinant of life in the future. Deaf people are people who lose the ability to hear, so they inhibit the processing of information through their hearing, whether or not they are wearing hearing aids. In general, deaf children have normal and average intelligence. Effective guidance needs to be based on accurate data. Therefore, before doing therapy, it is necessary to do an assessment first, which is to assess or recognize counselling in depth in various aspects. John Holland's theory helps identify students' career personalities according to types, traits and psychological characteristics (personality). It draws on the principles of Holland's theory, which groups individuals into six personality types and corresponding work environments. This study aims to provide practical guidance for parents, educators, and career counsellors. The aim is to improve the career readiness of deaf children and create a more inclusive and supportive environment for their professional growth.

Published: May 2024

Objective: To assess correlation of Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) to platelet ratio index with other biochemical markers such as white cell count, platelet count, hemoglobin, hematocrit and liver function tests in patients of dengue fever for disease severity.
Methods: Data was collected from 223 dengue fever patients admitted to a hospital setting in an out- break of 2022. Binary logistic regressions analysis was employed. AST to Platelet Ratio Index (APRI) was calculated and all parameters were studied to assess their association with the disease sever- ity. Severity of dengue was based on development of complications like bleeding, shock, end organ damage and duration of stay in the hospital.
Results: The analysis done by software SPSS version 26.0 showed that 3.6% of the patients were se- verely ill while 96.4% were non severe with mean duration of stay in the hospital of 4.95 days. Univariate analysis showed ALT and age have positive correlation with disease severity with CI 95% and APRI significant positive correlation was at CI 90%. Multivariate analysis showed age and APRI to have association with disease severity with OR 1.06 and OR 1.16 respectively (p <0.05). Area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve for APRI was 0.59.
Conclusion: In addition to other biochemical parameters APRI can be used as an independent marker of predicting severity of disease in dengue patients thus it can add value in timely management of the dengue patients.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, that took place at the Ibn-e-Seena Hospital and Fazaia Ruth Pfau Medical College and its affiliated teaching hospital of Karachi, from Aug 2023 to Jan 2024, in which a total of 200 patients enrolled who met the ICHD-3 proposed migraine criteria through convenient sampling. Every individual was administered the MIDAS (Migraine Disability Assessment Questionnaire) questionnaire to estimate the effects of migraines on their routine activity SPSS 22 version was used for data feeding and analysis. The results of qualitative/categorical variables were given in numbers and percentages and for quantitative variables in Mean ± S.D. A statistically significant. p- value was considered as <0.05
Results: 200 participants who were enrolled in this study were with an average age of 22.7±8.62 years with 65.5% being female. Among the participants, the majority (40.5%) fell into the 15-24 years of age, followed by 32% in the 25-34 years of age group. Among the participants, a MIDAS Grade score of 0–5, was achieved by 4 males and two females, indicating minimal to no disability. A MIDAS Grade score of 6–10 was achieved by 16 males and 34 females, indicating mild disability. Out of those with a MIDAS Grade score of 11–20, 29 and 51 were male and female respectively, signifying a moderate level of disability. A score of 21 or higher in MIDAS Grade, was scored by 20 males and 43 females, reflecting a more severe degree of disability. Overall data shows that disability scores get worse after 35 years of age.
Conclusion: It was concluded that females were more prone to suffer from migraine as compared to males. Migraines can indeed affect the quality of life irrespective of gender, although, males show in- creased disability with increasing age.

The Municipality is likewise active in implementing climate change initiatives like conservation of local water resources, soil erosion and landslide prevention projects, agriculture biodiversity management projects etc. and also cooperating on running different committees and projects however, it is critical to consider how to bring about the necessary institutional change, raise funds and establish flexible strategies for long-term climate change adaptation in agriculture.
Development of a pseudotype-based neutralization test for SARS-COV-2 antibody measurement
Authors:   , Charsangbong Kunlanan
Published: May 2024

The gold standard for measuring anti-SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody is a live-virus neutralization test (VNT). However, VNT is rather complex and must be performed in a biosafety level 3 facility. Therefore, a gene-encoding spike protein of the original SARS-CoV-2 variant was designed to develop a lentivirus-based SARS-CoV-2 pseudotype in this study to replace the live virus, which can be conducted in a biosafety level 2 facility. The 2nd generation lentiviral pseudotype with green fluorescent protein (GFP) and the 3rd generation lentiviral pseudotype with luciferase as a reporter system, respectively, provided a sufficient titer (TCID50/mL) for a neutralization test. However, the 3rd generation lentivirus with luciferase reporter system was inconsistent, with high variability. Therefore, the 2nd generation lentiviral pseudotype with GFP was selected and developed further into a pseudotype neutralization test (PVNT). When tested against 128 serum samples from the ChulaCoV-19 trial, the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of this test were 98.91% and 100%, respectively, in comparison with the VNT. Standard serum samples with known titers were tested to convert the PVNT50 titer into international units (IU/mL) and compared with the standard VNT method. A moderate level of agreement was observed between the 2 tests, with a correlation coefficient of 0.740 (p-value

Published: May 2024

Circular built environment have a crucial role in global economy and become concept for sustainable innovation. The built sector has been using the principle of linear economy for many years, where consumption of natural resources wasn't considered. This principle increased carbon emissions, pressure on the land, ecosystem pollution and uncontrolled usage of water resources. Built Environment and construction industry are the mayor consumer of resources. Therefore, it is very important to evolve the construction processes, systems and materials in order to increase efficiency and reduce the waste from the construction sector towards a better circular economy. Engineering products in circular economy are designed to be durable, repaired, refurbished, reused and disassembled, according to the principles of circular economy. The methodology of this scientific paper includes case studies in architectural design and construction sector that analyze the principles of circular economy application in architecture. The objective of this scientific paper is to explore and define the principles of circular economy in the built environment, regenerating and optimizing resources sharing asset utilization, optimizing system performance, keeping products and materials in loop and displacing resource with virtual use.
Decrease of green areas within public open spaces in multi-family housing estates: An overview from Slovakia
Authors: Igić Milica , Mitković Mihailo
Published: May 2024

The socialist period in Slovakia was marked by a huge demand for housing stock, and the highest peak was between 1960-1970 when the largest number of Multifamily Housing Estates were built. One of the main characteristics of these estates are large surfaces of public open spaces (POS), characterised by huge green areas. Unfortunately, as well as the complexes themselves, the green areas were also designed megalomaniacal - open spaces were not planned and designed for the human scale. After the socialist period, the privatization and restitution processes were expressed, and the change of land ownership led to numerous problems causing neglect of POS. This paper discusses green areas within POS, challenges that these areas faced during post-socialist transformations, and their treatment within new multifamily housing developments. The goal of this paper is to analyse transformations of POS and examine the causes of green areas decrease within LHEs.

Architectural narratives: Spatial and temporal atmosphere
Authors: Krstić Verica , Ristić-Trajković Jelena
Published: May 2024

Architectural narratives provide insights into the complex interplay between architecture, culture, and society within the built environment. They become a model for analysing, perceiving, and thinking about architectural artefacts. In this process, the atmosphere phenomenon, a key aspect, becomes a phenomenological standpoint for architectural research. The conceptualisation of atmosphere is commonly questioned throughout a relationship between the perceptive capacity of humans and an effective environment. The anatomy of perceptual engagement includes the physical and sensory characteristics of space on the one hand and culture's philosophical, political, ethical, and aesthetic character on the other. The ambiguous character of the atmosphere will be analysed using such multidimensional conditionality in the case study of the Family house in Bigovo, Montenegro.

The construction industry in Indonesia is experiencing rapid development, encouraging the emergence of innovations in construction design. One such innovation is the utilization of hollow concrete pier and high strength reinforcement bar (Gr. 80 or yield strength of 550 MPa). The use of a hollow concrete pier and high strength reinforcement bar will reduce the cement and steel consumption leading to reduced emission of CO2. In addition, these hollow piers aim to reduce the dead weight of a structure, mitigating the inertia experienced during earthquakes. As a result, this reduces foundation dimensions, leading to significant cost savings in construction. This paper shows that the seismic behavior of a hollow pier is comparable to that of a solid pier in terms of strength, energy dissipation and ductility. Hence, it has the potential to be widely used in industry.

Living by the rivers is linked to the very beginnings of civilization. People use the benefits of being close to water to improve the body and mind. However, accelerated urbanization leads to a disruption of the balance between the need for profit and coexistence with nature. To make matters worse, the beginning of the industrial revolution, in the seventies of the last century, led to the deterioration of man's influence on nature and climate change. All of this affects the condition of rivers which are increasingly "fighting" against threats to their space and inexpertly designed and executed river training works. In this paper, good and bad examples of urban regulation with the analysis of the possibility of their rehabilitation in order to improve the urban-aesthetic, ecological and social role in urban areas.
Clustering data analytics of urban land use for change detection
Authors: Rajabhushanam C.
Published: May 2024

In this study, the author proposes and details a workflow for the spatial-temporal demarcation of urban areal features in 8 cities of Tamilnadu, India. During the inception phase, functional requirements and non-functional parameters are analyzed and designed, within a suitable pixel area and object-oriented derived paradigm. Land use categories are defined from OpenStreetMap (OSM) related works with the scope of conducting climate change, using multispectral sensors onboard Landsat series. Furthermore, we augment the bands dataset with Spatially Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Built-Up Index (NDBI), Leaf Area Index (LAI), and Texture base indices, as a means of spatially integrating auto-covariance to stationarity patterns. In doing so, change detection can be pursuit by scaling up the segmentation of regional/zonal boundaries in a multi-dimensional environment, with the aid of Wide Area Networks (WAN) cluster computers such as the BEOWULF/Google Earth Engine clusters. GeoAnalytical measures are analyzed in the design of local and zonal spatial models (GRID, RASTER, DEM, IMAGE COLLECTION). Finally, multi variate geostatistical works are ensued for precision and recall in predictive data analytics. The author proposes reusing machine learning tools (filtering by attribute-based indexing in PaaS clouds) for pattern recognition and visualization of features and feature collection.
Macao Secondary School EFL Teachers’ Perspectives on Written Corrective Feedback: Rationales and Constraints
Authors: Hong Wilson Cheong Hin
Published: May 2024

Corrective feedback on writing (WCF) has been one of the most controversial topics in ESL/EFL teaching. In the past decades, much has been disputed regarding the effectiveness and preferences of the quantity, focus, directness and source of WCF. With so much uncertainty, the researcher set out to investigate how research-informed secondary school teachers in Macao reported their beliefs, rationales, practices and constraints of administering corrective feedback for EFL writing in Macao secondary schools. Twelve secondary school teachers were recruited at a TESOL conference to conduct focus-group discussions. Similar to previous findings, results suggest teachers had clear rationales as to their ways of practising WCF. However, many expressed difficulties in acting according to rationales and beliefs. Despite their experience and knowledge, practical constraints such as school policies and teacher workload made it unlikely for them to follow their thoughts with feedback on writing. This study identified six sources of constraints that could prohibit practices and potentially reshape ones’ beliefs, which sheds light on future directions of WCF research.

This research focuses on the fluid dynamics and heat transfer characteristics of the Williamson fluid over a permeable stretched cylinder, accounting for heat generation effects. Incorporating elements such as viscous dissipation, mixed convection, Joule heating, entropy generation, and magnetic field presence, the investigation utilizes the Optimal Homotopy Analysis Method for solution development. Through the process of similarity transformations, the partial differential equations undergo a conversion that results in dimensionless ordinary differential equations. Numerical results from this study align well with existing literature, emphasizing the examination of key dimensionless parameters like Reynolds number, suction parameter, magnetic field parameter, mixed convection parameter, heat source parameter and Williamson fluid parameter. The analysis extends to local Nusselt number and skin friction coefficient computations, offering insights into heat transfer and shear stress rates, correspondingly. Additionally, the research delves into the effects of several physical parameters on temperature and velocity profiles, presenting a comprehensive overview in academic discourse. The study's methodology and findings contribute to the understanding of phenomenon related to heat transfer and fluid flow, making it a valuable addition to the scholarly domain.

In this work were determined the optical band gap (Eg), packing coefficient (𝜘) and average atomic volume (Va) by conducting experiments to measure the optical transmission spectra and density (ρ) of chalcogenide glassy semiconductors of Ge-As-Se(Te) systems. Reasons of changes occurring in the band gap and in the structure of the amorphous matrix of the studied materials were suggested taking into account existing ideas about the nature of the band energy spectrum of chalcogenide glasses and analysis of experimental data. The dependence of ϰ and Va on Z and R are investigated for stoichiometric compositions of As25Ge12.5Se(Te)62.5 and the nature of these dependencies were explained in detail.

The objective of this article was to develop a methodology for the burned areas delimitation and f ire severity assessment in forest fires occurred in Spain between 2018 and 2022. As input data, this study was based on the use of Sentinel-2 spectral indices, which are characterized by having spectral bands in the near-infrared (NIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectral regions, allowing a high distinction between burned and unburned areas, and between different fire severity degrees too. All possible combinations between Sentinel-2 bands applied to a spectral normalized difference index (SP) were analyzed, along with the most commonly used burn spectral indices in remote sensing as the Burned Area Index (BAI), the Burned Area Index for Sentinel-2 (BAIS2), the Mid-Infrared Burn Index (MIRBI), the Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR), the Relativized Burn Ratio (RBR) and the relative differential Normalized Burn Ratio (RdNBR). In addition, in order to delete confusions between burned area and the presence of other land cover areas, the Sentinel-2 Global Land Cover (S2GLC 2017) and the temporal differences between pre-fire and post-fire dates were obtained for each spectral index (dSP). The results were compared by: in the case of burned areas, the Emergency Mapping Service (EMS) and the Galicia forest service; in the case of fire severity, using field plots classified as in Ruiz-Gallardo et al. (2004) study (null, low, moderate and high severity). The final statistic results obtained showed that the dNBR2 spectral index (using B11 and B12 Sentinel-2 spectral bands) provided the highest results of burned area delimitation (7% of commission error and 3% omission error, respectively) whereas, the combination of the BAIS2, the NBR and the modified Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR2, using B7 and B12 Sentinel-2 spectral bands), used in areas with low, mix and full vegetation respectively, provided the highest results in fire severity assessment (kappa statistic, F1-score and Balanced Accuracy equal to 0.87, 0.86 and 0.92, respectively). The methodology developed in this work allows obtaining accurate maps of burned area and fire severity in Spain, contributing to the reinforcement of national forest fires statistics.

This study aimed at shading more light on the roles of perceptual learning style preferences (PLSP) on EFL achievement. The study applied quantitative approach and correlational design. Selected using simple random sampling, 180 grade eleven students were participants of the study. The study employed Reid’s (1984) PLSPQ, and students’semester final exam results to measure PSLP and FLA, respectively. Six units of grade eleven English textbook was as secondary data. Findings of the study revealed that the major PLSP of the students was group followed by visual, minor PLSP, and negligible others four. Moreover, the activities addressed by the teaching material were found incongruent with the perceived learning styles. Furthermore, results of One-way ANOVA confirmed that PLSP is significantly related with FLA. It was implied that the construct PLSP need to be considerably reflected in the instructional materials preparation towards the EFL students’ success. As a mismatch between activities of teaching materials would result in learners’ failure, teaching materials need to be geared towards PSLP dimensions. Teachers are expected to identify students’ ways of learning and apply accommodating strategies to address individual differences in the classroom in terms of PLSP dimensions.
La ciencia de la diferencia
Authors: Lo Vuolo Santiago
Published: May 2024

En este trabajo se proponen puntos de contacto no explícitos entre las filosofías de Althusser y de Deleuze. Para ello, caracterizamos la práctica teórica y científica de Althusser como una práctica ligada a elementos alejados de una visión clásica o positivista: la indagación de causas ausentes, no visibles y no medibles da cuenta de una concepción novedosa de la ciencia, que sin dudas merece ser atendida. Si la ciencia en términos marxistas tiene por objeto una construcción del pensamiento y no un dato empírico, entonces ese objeto se emparenta con lo que Deleuze caracteriza como la diferencia. Por su parte, la filosofía de la diferencia deleuziana también puede ser caracterizada en los términos de lo que Althusser llama una práctica teórica. La metodología que comparten ambos filósofos, y aquello que guía la puesta en común que aquí realizamos, es la de la búsqueda del universal concreto.
