Peningkatan kualitas kehidupan dan peran perempuan dalam pembangunan ekonomi, pemerintah telah melakukan beberapa kegiatan afirmasi, misalnya melalui pengintegrasian kepentingan perempuan ke dalam beberapa program pembangunan. Salah satu programnya adalah dibentuknya unit kerja yang khusus menangani kredit kepada usaha mikro, kecil, dan menengah (UMKM) perempuan, pemetaan potensi usaha perempuan pengusaha, dan pemberian pendampingan dan fasilitasi manajemen keuangan dengan pihak perbankan. Islam menempatkan aktivitas berwirausaha/berbisnis dalam posisi yang amat strategis di tengah kegiatan manusia mencari rezeki dan penghidupan. Aktivitas berwirausaha merupakan salah satu hal yang sangat penting dalam kehidupan manusia. Kondisi ibu rumah tangga di wilayah desa Gondang Tegalgondo masih sangat layak untuk dilakukan pengembangan dan juga pemberdayaan mengingat Sebagian besar perempuan disana hanya ada dirumah saja mengurus keperluan rumah tangga dengan rata-rata pekerjaan suami sebagai buruh kasar dan kuli bangunan. Dengan kenyataan tersebut maka sangat penting sekali untuk melakukan program pendampingan dan kreatifitas agar ibu-ibu tersebut selain mengurus rumah juga dapat menghasilkan uang dengan melakukan kegiatan produksi sendiri. Metode yang digunakan berupa pendampingan partisipatif kepada mitra. Hasil dari pendampingan berupa kraetifitas memanfaatkan coklat blok yang dibentuk karakter bunga, boneka bisa dipasarkan ke masyarakat yang lebih luas.

Pengetahuan terkait teknologi informasi pada Kelompok PKK dan Kelompok Wanita Tani (KWT) di sekitar kawasan Desa Rajaiyang masih belum maksimal. Rendahnya tingkat Pendidikan yang dimiliki oleh kelompok tersebut menjadikan gap pengetahuan terkait teknologi yang dapat dimanfaatkan. Padahal sebagian besar dari mereka sudah memiliki jenis usaha rumahan. Jenis usaha apapun yang mereka jalani, membutuhkan pencatatan keuangan yang baik, hal ini bertujuan agar jumlah pengeluaran tidak lebih besar daripada jumlah penerimaan. Tujuan dari pengabdian kepada masyarakat yang dilakukan oleh Tim dari Universitas Pembangunan Nasional Veteran Jakarta ialah untuk memberikan pelatihan terkait pencatatan transaksi keuangan dan pembuatan laporan keuangan kepada masyarakat di Desa Rajaiyang. Umumnya pencatatan keuangan lebih sering menggunakan buku besar neraca keuangan, akan tetapi pada era digital saat ini bisa dipastikan hampir seluruh lapisan masyarakat memiliki alat komunikasi yang canggih, minimal dapat mengakses internet. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat melibatkan mitra PKK dan Kelompok Wanita Tani di Desa Rajaiyang. Bentuk kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini melatih peserta untuk dapat membuat pencatatan transaksi keuangan dengan menggunakan handphone agar lebih efektif. Pelatihan pencatatan transaksi keuangan dan pembuatan laporan berbasis mobile menggunakan aplikasi bernama BukuKas.

Study on gift taxation of earnings from securities-listing in the use of special purpose acquisition company
Authors:   KOREAN SOCIETY OF TAX LAW, Park Jong-Su
Published: February 2023

This article aims at the current legal issues on gift taxation of earnings from securities-listing. Gift taxation has been very dramatically changed in Korea. In 2005 Korea has introduced a fully comprehensive gift tax in korean Inheritance and Gift Tax Law(KIGTL). The legislative purpose was to prevent an anomalous shift of wealth without cost between citizens. But fully comprehensive taxation can violate the principle of substantial legislated
taxation. And also it can incapacitate the principle of proportionality. Gift taxation of earnings from securities-listing in § 41-3 KIGTL is one of the controversial provisions in KIGTL. Many companies are more and more
using in securities-listing the special purpose acquisition company(SPAC) in mergers and acquisitions. Acquisition of SPAC and the object company of the acquisition can switch the securities of related companies and forthcoming listing in 5 years can be exempted from gift taxation, because the securities of SPAC are substituted by that of acquiring company. The author thinks that this may cause a destruction of taxation justice between taxpayers in company taxation law. This article shows a new way of reasonable interpretation of § 41-3 KIGTL.
HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE ‘NEW NORMAL’:NORMALISING THE ‘ABNORMAL’
Authors: Sharma Disha
Published: February 2023

This article aims to conceptualize the term ‘new normal’ in an abnormal situation such as that of Covid-19. I argue that the politics of the word ‘new normal’ in higher education results in depoliticising the implementation of technology in Indian university context. The article claims that the term ‘new normal’ is a form of violence inflicted upon the public, especially marginalised communities. The paper argues that the term ‘new normal’ trivialises the challenges faced and innocent lives lost due to Covid-19. The theorisation of ‘normal’ and ‘new normal’ is understood within the contesting site of higher education which already has its own challenges. I suggest that higher education was already under attack before the pandemic by neo liberal, and market forces along with hegemonic nationalism. However, the pandemic has made evident new forms of violence. This article brings to the light the question of accessibility, equity, and quality of online education in higher education in the context of the pandemic. This analysis is conducted by engaging with NEP 2020 and its implications of privatisation and technology. The interrelation between online education, privatisation, and neo liberalism allows to interrogate the idea of a university space and how it shifted in Covid-19. Such a critique enables this article to understand the digital divide created by online education. This consequently underlines the concept of exclusion and inclusion in Indian higher education because of the discriminatory nature of the digital divide. Finally, the paper also offers some reflections on the ethical dimension of using the word ‘new normal’ in a crisis situation, especially in the context of Indian higher education domain.
LANGUAGE ATTITUDES AMONG THE APATANI YOUTH OF ARUNACHAL PRADESH
Authors: Gupta Dhriti Sundar , Kampu Hage Mali , Chatterjee Jayati
Published: February 2023

Apatani is a language spoken in Arunachal Pradesh with approximately 44,000 speakers. The Apatani language belongs to the Tani group of the Tibeto-Burman branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family (Sun, 1993). Referred to as Tanii Agun by its native speakers, Apatani is an oral language and does not have any orthography, script or writing system. It was included among the 196 vulnerable languages of India in UNESCO “Atlas of the World Languages in Danger” (Moseley, 2010, Map 20, p.45). Concerns have been raised regarding the sustenance of Apatani because of their absence in formal and educational domains and their gradual decline in other domains. Further, due to its contact with more dominant languages such as English and Hindi, which have gained greater social prestige and political as well as economic prominence, the language is naturally threatened. To a large extent, the severity of such endangerment depends on the attitude and perceptions of the native speakers, particularly of the community’s youth towards their language, as the maintenance of the language and its transmission to the future generation is mainly dependent on the youth. Therefore, the present study attempts to understand the attitudes of the Apatani youth towards their native language. It aims at documenting the use of languages (Apatani, English, and Hindi) in different domains (family, friendship, neighbourhood, transactions). The research proposes to predict the possibility of sustenance and development of the Apatani language.

In recent pandemic different category of people have been affected both by socially and economically. Migrant workers are also not exception to this situation. Migrant workers for their upliftment have migrated from their home town to places with good industrialization and infrastructural facility. They migrate singly or with their family. This Survey was undertaken to understand which difficulties were faced by migrant workers during the Pandemic, it is also aimed to understand which difficulties they have faced to get the health services and HIV/AIDS services. For the survey, two industrial area of Ahmedabad City of Gujarat State viz Piplaj and Kathwada were selected. From each industrial area 75 people were interviewed and totally 150 respondents’ reviews were collected.
Migrant workers were heavily affected due to Pandemic, during and after the lockdown they have to face problem of earning, transport facility for movement to native place and medical facilities access etc. During lockdown, migrant workers also struggled for going to and fro to home town due to stoppage of transport services, no ration for the family - no medical services due to no income. After end of lockdown getting regular work and timely wages were additional problems.
ASSOCIATING PRODUCT DESIGN TO SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT FOR BUSINESS RESPONSIVENESS
Authors: Dhingra Kanika , Bajaj Vaibhav
Published: February 2023

The economy is advancing and developing at animus pace, the entrepreneurs are progressing by shifting the concept of mass production to quality production and then providing individual touch to products and services. The consumer has now-a-days elated expectations like product variations, shortened product lifecycles. Due to increase of pressure from market, consumers towards quality improvements, the supplier has to cater to the demand of the customer by providing the quality delivery, on time and with the personalised attributes. The product delivery is provided to the customers through firm’s supply chain management network, when the network is intact, it will make the supply effective and easy. The way to deal with the increased demand is designing and developing the product on the basis of the supply networks. The competitiveness among the business tycoons are moving to another level as these businesses are no more competing among themselves but competing between the product supply chains. The current study has discussed that how the problems of supply chain management can be solved and made more responsive by associating it with the product design at very initial stage with the help of multiple case study approach.
STANDPOINTS OF GRASSROOTS WOMEN ON DEVELOPMENT: LEADERSHIP BEYOND THE STATE
Authors: Thapliyal Nivedita Mishra , Dutta Rajdeep
Published: February 2023

The development perspective is associated with women's security, their participation in programme implementation, and clear roles and responsibilities. Studies have revealed that programmes that build women's skills are immediate development factors. Development is also about upliftment, which offers justice and equality in society. It means improving all forms, including health, education, gainful employment, and infrastructure. The study describes the views of some grassroots women leaders that they put forward, including adequate communication, women's literacy, women's empowerment on social platforms, elimination of gender gaps, and the recognition of women as active social workers and volunteers. Development is the improvement of physical structures and facilities that involves improving knowledge and motivating people to contribute to the cause of the improvement of society. There are women in positions of authority, but few are involved in implementing programmes. Participation at all the stages of the programme for women leaders is vital to understand and deal with the developmental issues within the stipulated time frame and for the effective functioning and implementation of schemes at the village levels. Hence, the inclusion of women in programme delivery is one of the critical perspectives of development. Thus, the explorative study outlines the viewpoints of grassroots women leaders regarding how women perceive development, their awareness of different schemes and programs, their participation, and the factors contributing to their involvement. Finally, the finding proposes some glimmers for strengthening women's leadership and development from the standpoint of female leaders. For this study, the authors relied on fieldwork and applied In-depth Interactions (IDIs) and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) to gather primary data. Simultaneously, secondary information has been collected from various sources and pieces of literature.
PERENNIAL NARRATIVES: RELEVANCE OF CLASSICAL EUROPEAN FAIRY TALES IN MODERN SOCIETY
Authors: Kabrajee Avan Peston , Mehta Dr. Dilber
Published: February 2023

literature, which witnessed a giant leap in the collection of its oral narratives or tales being penned down to prevent them from disappearing in antiquity. The tales, though existent since centuries in some form or the other, have surprisingly failed to lose their importance even after having continuously existed throughout the ages. They are relevant even in today’s age of technological advancements because they have their roots in peoples’ quests for social, spiritual, moral and cultural progress, akin to aims of technology. They possess the inherent ability to explain the truths of life in a plain and lucid manner, and even provide the inspiration for hope even in the most desperate times. The creativity in the literary rendition of the different humanoids of varied psyche portrayed in the fairy tales is what enables them to maintain their perennial narrative flow without getting lost or ruptured through the sea of time, and to remain relevant even in the modern socio-cultural scenarios.
This paper intends to study the spatial and temporal transcendence of fairy tales and discuss some of the reasons for the relevance of classical fairy tales even in modern culture and society.

Authors: Monteiro Neto Aristides , Macedo Fernando Cezar de , Silva Raphael de Oliveira
Published: February 2023

O estudo faz uma investigação sobre o papel do Banco do Nordeste do Brasil (BNB) como agente financiador da Política Nacional de Desenvolvimento Regional (PNDR). Inicialmente, apresenta-se uma breve discussão sobre as formas de atuação dos bancos públicos de desenvolvimento (BDs) no mundo contemporâneo. Em seguida, o esforço analítico centra-se na identificação das aplicações setoriais e territoriais dos desembolsos dos fundos constitucionais de financiamento (FCFs) geridos pelo BNB no período 1995-2019 e como elas se direcionam a atividades promissoras para a mudança estrutural. Ao investigar a geografia dos desembolsos totais e setoriais por meio de dados estaduais e microrregionais, revelam-se padrões territoriais predominantes no período. Buscamos apontar se e como o banco se aproxima ou se distancia de estratégias de mudança estrutural condizentes com aqueles que são, a nosso ver, os desafios centrais das economias nordestina e brasileira.

TD 2846- O Papel do sistema de heranças na desigualdade brasileira
Authors: Carvalho Junior Pedro Humberto Bruno de
Published: February 2023

Este trabalho investiga a importância do sistema de heranças na desigualdade de riqueza do Brasil entre as décadas de 1940 e 2010. O Código Civil brasileiro tem incentivado a transmissão das heranças aos filhos devido à regra do herdeiro necessário. Dados da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílio (PNAD) mostram que os 5% mais ricos tiveram menos filhos e mais capital para transmitir aos herdeiros mediante uma tributação mínima, como evidencia a pesquisa legis¬lativa desenvolvida, especialmente durante o período da ditadura militar (1964-1988), quando apenas as transmissões de imóveis eram tributadas. Por meio da correção da sub-representação da população mais pobre na base de Declarações de Imposto de Renda das Pessoas Físicas (DIRPF), este trabalho estima que em 2019 o grupo 1% mais rico da população brasileira deteve 25,6% da renda nacional, 35,4% da riqueza nacional e transmitiu 80,9% das heranças oficiais.
TD 2849 - Inadequações habitacionais e informalidade no mercado de habitação brasileiro : evidências empíricas a partir do censo 2010
Authors: Nadalin Vanessa Gapriotti
Published: February 2023

Este trabalho busca caracterizar o mercado habitacional formal e informal brasileiro e possíveis segmentações nessas duas primeiras divisões. O principal objetivo é explicitar as semelhanças e as diferenças, e as heterogeneidades em cada grupo. Levando em consideração a inadequação habitacional, há uma parte do mercado formal que é semelhante ao mercado informal. Assim como há uma parte do mercado informal que é semelhante ao mercado formal, e, portanto, livre de inadequações habitacionais mais graves. Dessa maneira, o trabalho auxilia a responder esta pergunta essencial: o quanto a informalidade influencia a disponibilização de moradia digna. Foi utilizado como definição de bairro informal o conceito de aglomerado subnormal (AGSN), do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) para o Censo Demográfico 2010. Este estudo inova ao caracterizar os dois mercados a partir de informações do questionário da amostra do Censo 2010, cuja identificação de pertencimento a um AGSN foi feita na sala do sigilo no IBGE. Duas informações importantes disponibilizadas são as que se referem ao valor do aluguel e ao tempo de deslocamento casa-trabalho. São feitas análises descritivas utilizando-se, entre outros, os indicadores de autocorrelação espacial local (Lisa) e os gráficos de dispersão e regressão (binscatter regressions). Uma análise de clusters para setores censitários nas metrópoles do Rio de Janeiro e de São Paulo indicou que o segmento de mercado de baixíssima renda foi encontrado no cluster que concentrou as inadequações habitacionais mais graves, chamado de sem cidade. Tanto em São Paulo quanto no Rio de Janeiro, a grande maioria dos moradores de sem cidade não estão em setores classificados como AGSN.

Published: February 2023

We analyze jet features found in the coma of comet 21P/Giacobini–Zinner (21P/GZ) during its 2018 perihelion passage using narrowband CN photometric imaging in order to determine the comet’s rotational period, and we constrain the CN gas outflow velocity and rotational state through the analysis of azimuthally enhanced morphological features. We find that 21P/GZ has a period of either 7.39 ± 0.01 hr or 10.66 ± 0.01 hr. We measure a lower limit to the outflow velocity for the northern jet of 730 ± 30 m s−1 and for the southern jet of 740 ± 30 m s−1. We analyze the morphologies of the jet features and determine that the northern jet possesses a corkscrew pattern, and we utilize that knowledge to determine a rotational pole position at an R.A. of

Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND: Educating dental students in practical skills are a difficult task that has become increasingly demanding since the outbreak of COVID-19. Today, the use of digital media plays an essential role in teaching practical skills.
AIM: This study investigated the effect of educational videos on oral and maxillofacial surgery basics on dental student’s satisfaction.
METHODS: Six subjects were chosen from the principles of oral and maxillofacial surgery, and according to the necessary standards, educational videos were made based on the needs assessment of students. Fellow attending evaluated and approved each video. Students were shown videos in six 2-h sessions. Students were given a researcher-created questionnaire with proven validity and reliability. Students filled out questionnaires to evaluate the impact of educational videos as well as the structure of educational videos.
RESULTS: Two hundred and three students participated in this study in their 4th−6th years. In this study, 203 students in their 4th to the 6th year participated. Most students were satisfied with the structure of educational videos (73.9%); in general, 84.7% of students expressed their satisfaction with this method. Half of the students preferred video training over face-to-face training in oral and maxillofacial surgery (50.4%). Many students suggested that these videos be included in the curriculum (80.7%).
CONCLUSION: Students’ overall satisfaction with the structure and impact of educational videos indicates that educational videos made and evaluated by dental professors can help teach practical topics as a part of the curriculum.
Population level interactions between an invasive woodwasp, an invasive nematode and a community of native parasitoids
Authors: van Nouhuys Saskya , Harris David C. , Hajek Ann E.
Published: February 2023

Parasitic nematodes and hymenopteran parasitoids have been introduced and used extensively to control invasive Eurasian Sirex noctilio woodwasps in pine plantations in the Southern Hemisphere where no members of this community are native. Sirex noctilio has more recently invaded North America where Sirex-associated communities are native. Sirex noctilio and its parasitic nematode, Deladenus siricidicola, plus six native hymenopteran woodwasp parasitoids in New York and Pennsylvania, were sampled from 204 pines in 2011–2019. Sirex noctilio had become the most common woodwasp in this region and the native parasitoids associated with the native woodwasps had expanded their host ranges to use this invader. We investigated the distributions of these species among occupied trees and the interactions between S. noctilio and natural enemies as well as among the natural enemies. Sirex noctilio were strongly aggregated, with a few of the occupied trees hosting hundreds of woodwasps. Nematode parasitism was positively associated with S. noctilio density, and negatively associated with the density of rhyssine parasitoids. Parasitism by the parasitoid Ibalia leucospoides was positively associated with host (S. noctilio) density, while parasitism by the rhyssine parasitoids was negatively associated with density of S. noctilio. Thus, most S. noctilio come from a few attacked trees in a forest, and S. noctilio from those high-density trees experienced high parasitism by both the invasive nematode and the most abundant native parasitoid, I. l. ensiger. There is little evidence for direct competition between the nematodes and parasitoids. The negative association occurring between rhyssine parasitoids and I. l. ensiger suggests rhyssines may suffer from competition with I. l. ensiger which parasitize the host at an earlier life stage. In addition to direct competition with the native woodwasp Sirex nigricornis for suitable larval habitat within weakened trees, the large S. noctilio population increases the parasitoid and nematode populations, which may increase parasitism of S. nigricornis.

Published: February 2023

Berries are agricultural products of great economic interest for Mexico, and their production has increased in recent years; however, crops are affected by tortricid leafrollers. From August 2019 to April 2021 in Michoacán and Guanajuato, Mexico, a study was conducted to determine the species of tortricids associated with blackberries (Rubusspp. L.), raspberries (Rubus idaeusL.) and strawberries (Fragaria × ananassaDuch.), as well as their altitudinal distribution. In 12 orchards located in these states, shoots, leaves and flowers infested by larvae were collected. The species were identified by male genitalia and were determined taxonomically asAmorbia cuneana(Walsingham, 1879),Argyrotaenia montezumae(Walsingham, 1914) andPlatynotasp. Walker, 1859, found at elevations from 1290 to 2372 m. The most abundant species wereA. cuneanaandA. montezumae. Generally, these tortricids prefer to feed on tender vegetative parts of the plant, but the economic impact they have is not known. It is worth mentioning that the number of species found is lower than those reported in other countries, but it is necessary to broaden the study area to other berry-producing regions to determine whether their distribution is wider.
Connectedness and covering properties via infra topologies with application to fixed point theorem
Authors: Al-shami Tareq M. , Rawshdeh Amani , Al-jarrah Heyam H. , Mhemdi Abdelwaheb
Published: February 2023

A new generalization of classical topology, namely infra topology was introduced. The importance of studying this structure comes from two matters, first preserving topological properties under a weaker condition than topology, and second, the possibility of applying infra-interior and infra-closure operators to study rough-set concepts. Herein, we familiarize new concepts in this structure and establish their master properties. First, we introduce the notions of infra-connected and locally infra-connected spaces. Among some of the results we obtained, the finite product of infra-connected spaces is infra-connected, and the property of being a locally infra-connected space is an infra-open hereditary property. We successfully describe an infra-connected space using infra-open sets, which helps to study concepts given in this section under certain functions. Then, we determine the condition under which the number of infra-components is finite or countable. Second, we define the concepts of infra-compact and infra-Lindelöf spaces and study some of their basic properties. With the help of a counterexample, we elucidate that the infra-compact subset of an infra-$ T_2 $ space is not infra-closed, in general. We end this work by one of the interesting topics in mathematics "fixed point theorem", we show that when the infra-continuous function defined on an infra-compact space has a unique fixed point. To elucidate the topological properties that are invalid in the frame of infra topology, we provide some counterexamples.
A two-stage intrusion detection method based on light gradient boosting machine and autoencoder
Authors: Zhang Hao , Ge Lina , Zhang Guifen , Fan Jingwei , Li Denghui , Xu Chenyang
Published: February 2023

Intrusion detection systems can detect potential attacks and raise alerts on time. However, dimensionality curses and zero-day attacks pose challenges to intrusion detection systems. From a data perspective, the dimensionality curse leads to the low efficiency of intrusion detection systems. From the attack perspective, the increasing number of zero-day attacks overwhelms the intrusion detection system. To address these problems, this paper proposes a novel detection framework based on light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM) and autoencoder. The recursive feature elimination (RFE) method is first used for dimensionality reduction in this framework. Then a focal loss (FL) function is introduced into the LightGBM classifier to boost the learning of difficult samples. Finally, a two-stage prediction step with LightGBM and autoencoder is performed. In the first stage, pre-decision is conducted with LightGBM. In the second stage, a residual is used to make a secondary decision for samples with a normal class. The experiments were performed on the NSL-KDD and UNSWNB15 datasets, and compared with the classical method. It was found that the proposed method is superior to other methods and reduces the time overhead. In addition, the existing advanced methods were also compared in this study, and the results show that the proposed method is above 90% for accuracy, recall, and F1 score on both datasets. It is further concluded that our method is valid when compared with other advanced techniques.
“An Impulse to Transfigure and Render New”—The Anglo-Austrian Music Society in Wartime and Early Post-War Britain
Authors: Snyder Beth
Published: February 2023

The Anglo-Austrian Music Society was founded in London in 1942 by Ferdinand Rauter—an Austrian-born musician who had made his name arranging and performing songs from various folk traditions with soprano Engel Lund. Rauter spent much of 1940 interned on the Isle of Man as an ‘enemy alien,’ a designation visited upon some 70,000 refugees and other foreign-born residents in the United Kingdom during the Second World War. In the wake of that internment, he founded and co-founded a series of musically oriented organizations culminating with the Anglo-Austrian Music Society. The Society was born out of and embodied a particular constellation of mobility—an entanglement of patterns of movement, mobile practices, and representations of mobility—that owed its existence to Britain’s geopolitical situation in the years leading up to and comprising the war. Drawing on work by human geographers, this article examines the intertwined elements of this constellation—including migratory movements from Nazi occupied Europe to Britain; ideas about mobility, nation, and musical creativity; and practices of regulating the movements of migrant musicians. Making sense of these entanglements is essential to understanding both the genesis of the Society and the creative successes of the mobile, contingent community its key participants cultivated in Britain.

The data were collected from the nurses working in the medical wards and critical care units in the Pakistan Institute of Neurosciences, Lahore. Convenience sampling was used to select the respondents and collect the data. A total of 150 questionnaires were distributed among the nurses and 110 questionnaires were used for the data analysis in Statistical Package for Social Sciences. Frequency, descriptive statistics, reliability, and validity analyses were performed. As per the results of the study, the questionnaire used in the study was reliable and valid. Additionally, the results of the study established that the nursing practice environment is poor asking for concrete steps to make it better for improved patient care delivery. Nurse leaders can dedicate their efforts to the improvement of the nursing practice environment to improve the nurse job outcomes. Further, they can also arrange the trainings for the professional development of the nurses to ensure the better healthcare services delivery. The perceptions of the good nursing practice environment can be fostered among the nurses by having their active participation in the hospital matters and decision making because they are also the key staff in the hospital environment.

Introduction: Patient safety is a healthcare system, which minimizes the occurrence and impact of side effects. It also helps to facilitate full recovery in patients, and efforts to improve their safety require teamwork, such as situation monitoring by nurses. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effects of TeamSTEPPS implementation by nurses on situation monitoring in hospitals.
Design and Methods: A quasi-experimental pre-post test design was used with a total of 56 nurses, which were selected using the purposive sampling technique. They were then shared equally into 2 groups, namely control and intervention groups.
Results: The unpaired t-test result shows that the value of |t count| was lower than the t table (0.210 < 2.005), while the p-value was greater than α (0.835 > 0.050). This result indicates that implementing TeamSTEPPS by nurses have an insignificant effect on situation monitoring in the hospital.
Conclusions: In conclusion, hospitals are advised to implement TeamSTEPPS regularly to improve teamwork, specifically in situation monitoring by nurses.

Introduction: It is important to reduce the high incidence of anemia in pregnancy globally. Pregnant women need the support of their families to face any difficulties in order to prevent anemia.
Design and Methods: This study aims to determine the correlation between family role and anemia prevention in pregnancy. This cross-sectional study was conducted in August 2021 among 60 pregnant women who went for check-ups at two primary healthcare centers in Surabaya, Indonesia, and received iron supplements. Additionally, it was discovered that family role andanemia prevention in pregnancy were evaluated using questionnaires.
Result: The Spearman test was used as a test for significance and the results showed that there was a correlation between family role and anemia prevention in pregnancy (r = 0.318; P = 0.013). Also, it was found that informational, emotional, and affirmational support, as well as having a role model were significantly correlated with anemia prevention at (r = 0.311; p = 0.015), (r = 0.265; p = 0.041), (r = 0.400; p = 0.002), and (r = 0.353; p = 0.006), respectively.
Conclusions: There was a relationship between family role and anemia prevention in pregnancy, as well as adequate nutrition, adherence to iron supplements, and prevention of worms. Therefore, there is the need for health promotion to the families of pregnant women in order to increase the understanding of anemia prevention in pregnancy.

Published: February 2023

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic had made patients scared of coming to clinics or hospitals, and this could affect the treatment of TB. Therefore, one type of service that can be used by nurses to improve compliance to TB treatment is Telenursing. This article aims to ascertain whether telenursing could be a solution in improving the compliance of TB patients to treatments in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Design and Method: This research was conducted using the Randomised Controlled Trial design as well as PRISMA. Furthermore, useful research articles were sourced from the database using the keywords, “Message Reminder and Tuberculosis OR Medication Adherence”. The databases used are Scopus, Science Direct, PubMed, and SAGE, all in English text and from 2015 to 2021, with inclusion criteria. 277 articles were obtained, and then filtered to select 3 articles by reading the main focus of the write-up, with regard to the topic of study.

Result: Telenursing can be a solution to reduce the spread of COVID-19, and a substitute for remotely motivating individuals, as social support. Furthermore, it could be used as a reminder to patients to be obedient in carrying out treatments, and as a means of educating and improving good relationships with providers.

Conclusions: Telenursing is a fairly effective solution in helping TB patients improve treatment compliance, reduce drug dropout rates and missed doses, as well as, raise awareness about the importance of health in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: February 2023

Introduction: The risk of degenerative diseases begins to appear in adulthood. Physical activity and exercise habits prevent the incidence of obesity which is a risk factor for degenerative diseases' emergence. Therefore, this study aims toexamine the relationship between physical activity, exercise habits, body mass index, and fat mass percentage.

Design and  Methods: This study used an analytic observational cross-sectional design and 32 office workers in Surabaya aged 28-56 years were selected by simple random sampling technique. The data collected included measurements of physical activity, exercise habits, anthropometry, and body composition, which were analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation test.

Results: The results showed that 46.9% of participants had moderate activity, 43.8% exercised 1-2x a week, 56.3% exercised for 20-60 minutes, 56.30% had a low exercise intensity, 62.50% had an overweight body mass index, and 71.9% had overfat mass percentage. Spearman's rank test showed a significant relationship between energy intake, physical activity, exercise frequency, duration and intensity, and body mass index as well as between energy intake, physical activity, exercise intensity, and body fat percentage.

Conclusions: Increased physical activity and exercise habits were associated with decreased BMI and body fat percentage.

Introduction: One impact on People With Mental Disorders (PSMD) is decreased productivity. As the closest people, families are expected to support PSMD to be productive in the community. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the correlation between family support and the work productivity of people with mental disorders. Design and Methods: This observational analytical study with a Cross-Sectional approach was conducted in the working area of the Bantur Community Health Center. Purposive sampling was used to obtain 107 samples. Data on family support were collected using a questionnaire and tested for validity, while the Endicott Work Productivity Scale (EWPS) questionnaire was used to measure PSMD work productivity. Results: The results showed a significant correlation between family support and PSMD work productivity, p = 0.028. The correlation was negative, meaning lower PSMD work productivity implied higher family support. Furthermore,emotional support was the most form of support provided by family members to PSMD. Work productivity is generally low, with PSMD work attitudes in the high category only in sub-variables. Conclusions: Family support is needed for people with mental disorders to be productive. Future studies should examine other factors that affect PSMD work productivity. Additionally, health services should innovate to create work programs that stimulate PSMD's potential and ability.
Dispersive estimates for the Schrödinger equation in a model convex domain and applications
Authors: Ivanovici Oana

We consider an anisotropic model case for a strictly convex domain

\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^d

of dimension

d\geq 2

with smooth
boundary

\partial\Omega\neq\emptyset

and we describe dispersion for
the semiclassical Schrödinger equation with Dirichlet boundary condition. More specifically, we obtain the following fixed time decay rate for the linear semiclassical flow: a loss of

(\frac ht)^{1/4}

occurs with respect to the boundaryless case due to repeated swallowtail-type singularities, and is proven optimal. Corresponding Strichartz estimates allow us to solve the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation on such a three-dimensional model convex domain, hence matching known results on generic compact boundaryless manifolds.

Authors: Mahundu Fabian Gallus
Published: February 2023

This study aimed to understand the push and pull factors for employees’ mobility in higher learning institutions. Specifically, the study anticipated to 1)  determine the trend of employees’ mobility in higher learning institutions, 2) explore the factors for employees’ mobility in higher learning institutions  and 3) recommend how higher learning institutions may devise motivation and retention strategies to minimise employee mobility. The study employed  an exploratory case study design to allow the use of various qualitative data collection methods and tools. Purposive sampling was used to obtain  respondents from four selected higher-learning institutions. Data collected from interviews were analysed using NVivo 12 Plus computer-based software.  Findings indicate that the push and pull factors for academic staff mobility in the selected higher learning institutions in Dar es Salaam,  Tanzania, are multiple, including workplace restructuring, institutional politics, failure to meet the required academician’s needs and demands,  healthrelated factors, good salary pay, need to join their families after a long period of staying away, work motivation, friendly welfare policies and good  working climate. The study recommends having different employee retention strategies ranging from good governance/leadership, friendly human  resource-related policies that are objectively implemented, flexible management that are open for discussion, and views to fair motivational packages.
