Both measurement and structural models have been developed for detailed analysis of variables affecting employee turnover. Results obtained from various analyses have also been discussed. Hence, this study examines the effect of employee engagement, job satisfaction, job insecurity, and work overload mediated through job stress and performance management on the intentions of an employee switching their job role. This study will not only assist in improving the effectiveness of retention strategies but also give updates about future retention strategies by analyzing the data collected and its results. The discovery of this study would encourage the uplifting of retention practices in other sectors as well.
Hotels vs private accommodation during the COVID-19 pandemic in Serbia?
Authors: Vesic Marina
Published: June 2023

Available statistical data at the global and national levels show how much
tour-ism and hospitality suffered from the period of declaration of the
worldwide pandemic of the Covid-19 virus (March 2020) until its "de facto"
abolition (March/April 2022). However, the fact that tourism and travel
became almost the primary need of people in periods of relaxation of
measures is also evidenced by the available statistical data. Examples of
countries in the world and in the region indicate that in that period there
was a change in tourist movements, initiated by the changed needs and
demands of tourists. For the purposes of this research, a survey
questionnaire was formulated and distributed electronically to the e-mail
addresses of numerous users in Serbia. The main goal of the paper is to
indicate the utilization of hotel accommodation capacities in relation to
private accommodation during the pandemic in Serbia. Investigate whether
the role of hotels, which before the pandemic period were the most used form
of accommodation, has declined (especially when it comes to leading tourist
destinations in Serbia - city, mountain and spa centres), or whether the
trend of choosing a "safer place to stay" has experienced an expansion in
natural, non-urbanized environment. The obtained data can be useful, first
of all, to managers of the tourism and hospitality industry, so that
according to the summarized results of the research and the recommendations
given in the work, they can adequately and timely correct and innovate
their tourist offer.

OBJECTIVE

Obesity and diabetes frequently coexist, yet their individual contributions to cardiovascular risk remain debated. We explored cardiovascular disease biomarkers, events, and mortality in the UK Biobank stratified by BMI and diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

A total of 451,355 participants were stratified by ethnicity-specific BMI categories (normal, overweight, obese) and diabetes status. We examined cardiovascular biomarkers including carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), arterial stiffness, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and cardiac contractility index (CCI). Poisson regression models estimated adjusted incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and cardiovascular death, with normal-weight nondiabetes as comparator.

RESULTS

Five percent of participants had diabetes (10% normal weight, 34% overweight, and 55% obese vs. 34%, 43%, and 23%, respectively, without diabetes). In the nondiabetes group, overweight/obesity was associated with higher CIMT, arterial stiffness, and CCI and lower LVEF (P < 0.005); these relationships were diminished in the diabetes group. Within BMI classes, diabetes was associated with adverse cardiovascular biomarker phenotype (P < 0.005), particularly in the normal-weight group. After 5,323,190 person-years follow-up, incident myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and cardiovascular mortality rose across increasing BMI categories without diabetes (P < 0.005); this was comparable in the diabetes groups (P-interaction > 0.05). Normal-weight diabetes had comparable adjusted cardiovascular mortality to obese nondiabetes (IRR 1.22 [95% CI 0.96–1.56]; P = 0.1).

CONCLUSIONS

Obesity and diabetes are additively associated with adverse cardiovascular biomarkers and mortality risk. While adiposity metrics are more strongly correlated with cardiovascular biomarkers than diabetes-oriented metrics, both correlate weakly, suggesting that other factors underpin the high cardiovascular risk of normal-weight diabetes.

Authors: Velazquez Antonio Luevanos
Published: June 2023

A bladder fungoma is a mobile, oval, echogenic mass in the bladder resulting from the accumulation of long and broad hyphae. The incidence of urinary tract infection of fungal etiology has increased notably. Yeasts are isolated in 7 to 8% of urine cultures. Different species of Candida cause urinary infection, with Candida albicans being the most frequent, followed by Candida tropical. The majority favoured by invasive devices, many of them requiring intensive care, as well as the use of broad spectrum antibiotics for prolonged periods, within these devices are by far the permanent urinary tract catheter. Next we present 3 cases diagnosed in the Hospital Civil de Guadalajara Fray Antonio Alcalde in pediatric patients in the pediatric infectious disease service. They are not quite frequent lesions, but due to all of the above and having better imaging techniques, they have been diagnosed more frequently. All three received treatment once the lesion was detected in imaging studies, they were treated with antifungals, all survived and are in follow-up

Abstract — Silica is one kind of porous material that is suited to adsorben. In the synthesis process, silica gel can be produced using a sol-gel method based on the sodium silicate (Na2SiO3), which is prepared by an acid. The project of this research is to establish optimum conditions in aging time and gel-drying temperatures to produce a broad surface and pore size for silica xerogel. Based on the iod's absorption of variations in aging time (14, 16, 18, 20 and 24 hours) and drying temperatures (60, 70, 80, 90 and 100°C) give the most absorption to optimum conditions of aging time at 18 hours and drying temperatures of 70°C. The presence of XRD pattern leads to amorphous nature structures that dilate at one peak in 2θ = 22.545°, which indicates synthesis of silica xerogel with a basic sodium silicate obtained from natural silica was successfully made and highly pure. Keywords — Silica, Sodium Silicate, Silica xerogel

Published: June 2023

Mesoporous silica is a silica solid with pores between 2-50 nm which can be used in the fields of adsorption, medicine, catalyst synthesis, material purification and stationary phase for chromatography. Mesoporous silica is generally synthesized using TEOS or TMOS, but these precursors are relatively expensive. Na2SiO3 is a precursor of mesoporous silica which is more economical and easy to obtain. Basic materials that contain a lot of silica such as chert can be synthesized into Na2SiO3. Mesoporous silica synthesis generally uses surfactants as templates for the polymerization of silica, therefore a cosolvent is needed that can act as a crystal size enlarger by interacting with surfactants. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the addition of hexane on the synthesis of mesoporous silica symbolized by SM and SMH5. Mesoporous silica was synthesized using the sol-gel method with the basic ingredients of Na2SiO3 from chert, P104 as a surfactant, HCl as a solvent and n-hexane as an additive to increase crystal size. Mesoporous silica was characterized using XRD. The results of measurements using XRD showed that the X-ray difragtogram pattern showed peaks at an angle of 2ϴ = 22.29o and 25.33o for SM and SMH5 products, respectively.

Carbon material is one example of the development of advanced materials. Carbon is the result of the decomposition of an organic compound through an imperfect carbonization process. Carbon can be utilized from organic waste materials containing cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and starch. The composition of peanut shells is 65.7% cellulose, the high content of cellulose in peanut shells makes it a potential carbon source. The method used for the manufacture of peanut shell carbon is calcination at various temperatures of 250 0C, 300 0C, 350 0C and 400 0C. Carbon proximate analysis was carried out by testing the ash content, vapor content and bound carbon content. In this study the standard used is SNI 06-3730-1995. The results of the analysis showed that the ash content increased with increasing calcination temperature, while the vapor content decreased with increasing calcination temperature. The carbon content obtained decreases with increasing calcination temperature. The optimum condition of peanut shell carbon close to SNI 06-3730-1995 was obtained at carbon with a calcination temperature of 250 0C, 5.10% and a vapor content of 7.41% and a bound carbon content of 87.49%.

Victims of sexual harassment certainly experience stress and trauma. Because the perpetrators of sexual harassment are usually the closest relatives. Trauma is a condition where things from the past leave an impression and get trapped in the brain, causing a lot of suffering for the person who experienced the trauma. Sexual harassment is sexual activity that occurs through physical or non-physical contact with a person's genitals or sexuality. Perpetrators of sexual harassment are synonymous with whistling, flirting, uttering sexually suggestive words, showing pornographic material and showing sexual desire, poking or touching any part of the body, making sexual gestures. Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a psychotherapy based on the premise that people are born with the ability to think rationally and honestly, and not to think irrationally. People tend to look after themselves, to be happy, to think and speak, to love, to relate to others and to grow and self-actualize. This research uses a case study qualitative research approach. Research was carried out in Kudus Regency in 2021/2022, with the counselee with the initials FS. Data collection techniques used are interview and observation techniques.

The percentage of Malaysian students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) is less than 60%, as highlighted by the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MOSTI). STEM talent is essential as the catalyst for the development of a country. The vision of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of the United Nations to produce new science and technology that are sustainable, affordable, and safe, could be achieved by encouraging students to take courses in science and technology. One of the universities in Sabah has taken the initiative to conduct a STEM outreach programme at SMK Tongod during the Imbak Canyon Scientific Expedition 2022 to promote STEM. The study was conducted to identify the factors that influence the intention of secondary students to pursue STEM education. The theory underpinning the present study was the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). The dependent variable was students’ intention to study STEM, and the independent variables were attitude towards STEM, normative social influences, and self-efficacy. The data were collected using questionnaires, which were distributed to 50 secondary students. The data were analysed using the SmartPLS. The findings have important implications. Parents, educators, and society can influence students’ attitudes towards STEM education.

Published: June 2023

The learning process carried out in Indonesia is still dominated by large classes. It contains more than 20 students. This situation sometimes makes it difficult for teachers to conduct assessments because assessing and evaluating each student takes much time. Nowadays, the assessment process is quite diverse; teachers do not only do paper-based tests but can use application assistance. This study aims to see how well the Pintar Apps help teachers conduct student assessments. The method used in this study is qualitative, with instruments in the form of class observations and interviews. The subjects were 15 and 3 English teachers students of SMP Negeri 2 Tayu. The study results revealed that the application helps the student assessment process faster and more accurately. The teacher does not need to check the results of student answers one by one because the system automatically checks them. Pintar Apps as the student assessment application are beneficial for teachers in managing assessment activities in class. Furthermore, Pintar Apps even helps teachers administer the students who have used this application, and there is a list of them for all activities when using this application.
Religious Moderation in Indonesian Context
Authors: Hakim Lukmanul , Meria Aziza , Suryadinata Sartika
Published: June 2023

This paper aims to explore the concept of religious moderation across Islamic history within Indonesian context. The method used is qualitative with a historical approach. The historical approach is used to reformulate the concept of religious moderation in modern times and classical times. The results showed that religious moderation in modern times correlates with religious moderation in classical times. Although the term religious moderation was only promoted by the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Indonesia in 2019, in terms of practice it has been carried out by the Prophet who was then continued by the companions and the people after him. Classical and modern religious moderation both focus on establishing harmonious and peaceful social relations with people of different religions. However, there are some differences between modern and classical moderation, namely: First, in modern times religious moderation is focused on improving and maintaining relations between Muslims and people of other religions by providing several indicators related to this. Whereas in the classical period, this religious moderation focused on their freedom to embrace their religion without any coercion to convert to Islam. Second, in modern times the term moderation is used in the hope of being an antidote to the many conflicts, while in classical times religious moderation was practiced by the Prophet to serve as an example for the companions and subsequent people. Third, the practice of religious moderation in terms of tolerance towards people of other religions in modern times looks very tolerant by congratulating each other on the holidays of other religions, while in classical times religious moderation only centred on giving them the freedom to choose their religion and carry out their religious worship.
Indonesian Baha’i Community’s Perspective on Gender Equality
Authors: Hidayat Samsul
Published: June 2023

The conception of gender for Indonesian context is understood socially, politically, culturally and even religiously biased. Gender equality, which is always regarded as respect for women, is actually a detrimental action for women themselves. This work seeks to explain the concept of gender equality in Indonesian context from the perspective of the Baha’i faith and find out the views of its followers about the role of women in gender equality. This is also to describe the principles of the teachings of the Baha’i faith in promoting the awareness of women’s equal role in Indonesia. The article is based on research that falls under the descriptive qualitative research cluster using a gender study approach. The data were collected using observation, in-depth interviews and sources from previous studies. The work suggests that the followers of the Baha’i faith view the differences between men and women only from biological factors that exist in both sexualities. Those differences are merely due to the cultures of the people so that the understanding about gender equality becomes a biased concept. This is because the people in Indonesia observe to a patriarchal ideology which considers men to be superior and versatile while women are weak and marginalized in terms of social situation. The Baha’i community believe that God create humans from the same source, namely dust, so that no humans would exalt over the others. Humans are the same and equal between men and women.
Interaction between tectonics, plutonism and mineralization of the Duna Pb-Ba ore deposit regarding fluid inclusion study (Central Alborz, Iran)

Published: June 2023

This article discusses the impacts of overprinting of tectonic and plutonic events on the mineralization of the Duna Pb-Ba ore deposit, according to geologic settings and fluid inclusion studies. The Duna carbonate-hosted deposit contains a significant amount of Ag (18.9–264.3 ppm ), Cu (77–41600 ppm), Sb (32.7–11000 ppm), Sr (63.5– 15100 ppm), and Fluid inclusions with 7.34–23.65 wt.% NaCl equivalent. The homogenization temperature of about 110–285°C, as well as the paragenesis of the minerals shows a difference compared with other Pb-Zn deposits such as the Irish-type and MVT. The ore mineralization in the Duna mine occurred as stratabound, open space-filling, and along the brecciated fault zones. The concordant (stratabound) type of mineralization, with salinity and homogenization temperature of 18.54 to 23.65 wt.% NaCl equivalent, and 113°C to 165°C respectively, is usually typical of MVT-ore deposits, which in this area evolved during the Early Cimmerian orogeny and was later interrupted by mineralization along younger brecciated fault zones with salinity and homogenization temperature of 7.34 to 23.65 wt.% NaCl equivalent, and 113°C to 285°C respectively. This discordant mineralization, which occurred along the faults, formed by the end of the Late Cretaceous and during the Cenozoic as a result of the intrusion of a plutonic mass, and is comparable to the Irish-type ore deposits.
A marker band folgen stratigraphy for the Cenomanian Chalk of England and its extension to northen Germany and France
Authors: Jeans Christopher Vincent
Published: June 2023

A novel stratigraphical scheme within the Folge Concept is described for the Cenomanian Chalk of England that is particularly suitable for investigating the regional changes in the lithofacies, diagenesis, geochemistry, and mineralogy of the sediments of the Chalk Sea leading up to the Cenomanian–Turonian Oceanic Anoxic Event. It is based on “isochronous” marker bands defined largely by calcitic macrofossil assemblages, and it avoids problems caused by the poor or non-preservation of ammonite assemblages and lateral changes in chalk lithofacies. Eight folgen are based on one, two, or more marker bands. Their sequences, lithologies and calcitic macrofossil assemblages are described from 33 exposures in the Northern Chalk Province of England. The folgen are named, in ascending order, the Belchford, Stenigot, Dalby, Bigby, Candlesby, Nettleton, Louth and Flixton, after villages in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, England. The folgen are traced throughout the Transitional and Southern Chalk provinces of England. They are present in the Cenomanian chalk of northern Germany and northwest France. Regionally, an individual folge may display considerable vertical and lateral variation in general lithology and lithofacies whilst still maintaining their defining marker bands. The possibility of further refinement to the scheme is discussed.
First molecular detection of Brachyspira suanatina on pig farms in Poland
Authors: Cybulski Piotr , Strutzberg-Minder Katrin , Michalik Edyta , Kondratiuk Radosław , Jablonski Artur
Published: June 2023

Introduction

Prior to the 2000s, swine dysentery was considered to be caused only by Brachyspira hyodysenteriae with contributing commensal intestinal anaerobes. Nowadays, it is known that the disease is caused by three strongly beta-haemolytic species of the anaerobic spirochaetal genus Brachyspira, i.e. B. hyodysenteriae and newly emerged B. hampsonii and B. suanatina.

Material and Methods

The present investigation was carried out in November 2022 on nine Polish high-performing finisher pig farms. At every location one fresh pooled faecal sample was collected from 40 randomly selected pigs of between 60 and 110 kg live weight. Nucleic acid extracted from each pooled faecal sample was analysed by an in-house multiplex PCR for Brachyspira spp., which is capable of confirming the Brachyspira genus and detecting and differentiating Brachyspira species.

Results

From a total of nine samples examined, the genetic material of B. suanatina was detected in seven. Non-pathogenic/questionably pathogenic Brachyspira spp. were found in six samples.

Published: June 2023

Fast problem-solving is one of the main keys to a company's reputation. Currently, most of the company's business processes are accommodated by applications. Often, applications in companies experience problems due to internal and external factors. Users send a request to solve problems by submitting the problem to the helpdesk tool or application. The requests at the helpdesk tool or application do not go directly to the technician who has the authority to solve them but instead go to the operator first and then escalate to the technician to be resolved. This process affects the efficiency of problem-solving time. This study proposes the use of text classification with deep learning to complete operator work. The method proposed in this study is the BiLSTM method. The total data used in this research is 160,000 helpdesk request data by dividing the data by 128,000 resolved data as training data and 32,000 on-progress data as testing data or 80% training data and 20% testing data. The research was conducted using 13 labels for the technician assignment route process Performance measurement of this study using a confusion matrix which obtained an accuracy 91.18%, precision 95.05%, and recall 93.28%

Authors: Costa Diogo Menezes
Published: June 2023

A arqueologia pode ajudar a enfrentar o problema ambiental contemporâneo, pois fornece informações valiosas sobre estratégias de adaptação a mudanças climáticas. Esta percepção pode ser usada para construir resiliência para as comunidades modernas e seus patrimônios. Além disso, a arqueologia pode contribuir para a construção de uma sustentabilidade patrimonial ao aplicar uma ontologia objeto-orientada e atitudes mais-do-que-humanas, para considerar a influência de hiperobjetos no meio ambiente. Conhecimento este que pode ajudar a construir uma resiliência global para as comunidades modernas, e seus patrimônios afetados pelas mudanças climáticas. Este trabalho faz uma revisão bibliográfica e crítica de recentes e principais textos estrangeiros e nacionais, sobre o assunto das mudanças climáticas e os patrimônios arqueológicos, que abarcam desde uma percepção mais antiga, em que o saber arqueológico fornece um imenso repositório de diferentes estratégias adaptativas para ambientes locais e regionais. Até uma abordagem que propomos aqui mais plástica, em que a sustentabilidade patrimonial está alicerçada em ações presentes e futuras, para e com a cultura material da Paleopoluição.

A cidade de Ouro Preto, Patrimônio Mundial, possui monumentos de grande importância cultural, como o Chafariz da Glória. Apesar da relevância da sua preservação, essas construções sofrem continuamente a deterioração provocada pela ação das intempéries e de agentes biológicos. Nomeadamente, os fungos são importantes biodeteriógenos devido à produção de enzimas e ácidos. Este trabalho tem como objetivo verificar a presença de fungos e identificá-los, buscando relacionar a sua colonização com as degradações visualizadas nas áreas mais deterioradas do Chafariz. Foram identificados os seguintes gêneros e espécies fúngicas: Aspergillus sp.; Fusarium sp.; Phialophora gregata; Scopulariopsis brevicaulis e Nigrospora sp. Sabendo- da ação deterioradora dos fungos, estudos que identifiquem os biodeteriógenos se tornam de grande importância, uma vez que possibilitam a adoção de medidas de controle direcionadas para tais agentes.
