Job Burnout and Performance as a Determinant of Organisational Loyalty of Records Professionals
Authors: Durodolu Oluwole Olumide , Marutha Ngoako Solomon
Published: May 2024

This article reports on a study that investigated the effect of job burnout and job performance as a determinant of organisational loyalty of records managers in South-Western Nigeria. The research sample comprised archivists and records managers at the University of Ibadan, College of Medicine, and the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State (FUNAAB) that warehouse the largest collection of government records in Nigeria. The research methodology was informed by the positivist research paradigm and used a questionnaire. The data analysis and interpretation of results were in descriptive form, using tables of frequencies and percentages. PPMC and regression analyses were presented. The results and discussions covered the demographic characteristics of respondents, answers to research questions, and answers to research hypotheses. The findings revealed that the marital status of the majority of respondents was single, and the dominant gender was female. The level of job burnout was moderate, illustrating that occupational pressure is temperate. The records professionals seemed satisfied with prospects of contributing to the organisation’s development, training opportunities, communication and teamwork, accounting for their commitment to organisational goals and their loyalty to the establishment. The results also reveal that career advancement, recognition and employment benefits are the major factors determining the loyalty of records professionals. The positive connection between the variables implies that improvement in job burnout prevention would lead to an increase in loyalty to their organisation. By recognising the impact of job burnout and promoting high performance, organisations can enhance the organisational loyalty of archivists and records managers, leading to improved retention, productivity, and overall success.
Initial Experiences of African Students When Entering the Higher Education Institution: A Social Justice Perspective
Authors: Makhanya Thembelihle Brenda
Published: May 2024

Access to resources is a fundamental component when addressing matters of social justice, fairness, and human rights within a democratic society. In this article, utilising a social justice framework, the author delves into the perspectives of social work students regarding the preferential or detrimental access of first-year African students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds at a South African university. For this study, a purposive sample of twenty-two (N = 22) participants was selected. Data were gathered through focus group discussions and individual semi-structured interviews. The participants emphasised key aspects of access, including the university’s location, admission to preferred programmes, accommodation, and financial support. These access factors critically reflect on issues of justice and fairness when it comes to entering higher education institutions. Interestingly, the diverse profiles and backgrounds of the students did not influence the university administration’s approach to access, resulting in a negative impact on the students’ access experiences due to an emphasis on equality rather than equity. Consequently, there is a pressing need for social justice principles to guide decision-making processes that focus on students’ access to higher education. Structural transformations within higher education institutions are imperative to ensure fairness in access, particularly for historically disadvantaged students.

Authors: Ramadhan Ardiansyah , Wijaya Andre Suwardana , Achdan Fikri
Published: May 2024

The manipulator robot is one of the most widely used robots in the industry. The movement of the robot manipulator in this sector is a mechanical system that requires a mathematical modeling method to represent its geometric aspects and manipulate its dynamic parts. One of the most critical industries is healthcare. In this paper, a simulation is carried out on one of the factors, namely patient injection. The research results from this simulation used Webots software and was successfully simulated using a 6-degree-of-freedom robot. The positions simulated in several movements include: gripper position opens to take the needle, gripper closes to take the needle, the needle is held and directed to the patient, the needle is inserted into the patient area and pulled out again, returning to its initial position by placing the needle. However, this simulation does not add a needle so that only the 3D simulated robot movement can move by entering the expected position value to inject the patient according to the target.

Published: May 2024

The study determines the perception level of community members in Bamyan Province, Afghanistan, regarding the internal roles of the local leaders in decision-making processes related to community development. In the ongoing effort to rebuild the nation recovering from decades-long civil war, the effectiveness of governance in driving development is crucial to deliver success. A self-administered questionnaire was designed and subsequently distributed among community members. Descriptive analysis was performed to determine the perception level, and the findings revealed that community members held a moderate perception of the internal roles played by local leaders in community development decision-making. Consequently, it is imperative to institute training programmes not only for the community members but also for local leaders to enhance their capabilities in decision-making and competency in project implementation. By investing in such initiatives, stakeholders can empower both community members and local leaders, fostering more effective and inclusive development practices.

Authors: Kalahasthi Ravibabu , Jakkam Surendar , Jamalpur Ravi Prakash , Adepu Vinay Kumar , Nagaraju Raju
Published: May 2024

Objectives

Industrial workers are facing an occurrence of high risk factors. Exploring the frequency of CKDu and associated risk factors in industrial workers is needed. This study examined the CKDu prevalence and associated risk factors in industrial workers. Design: Cross section study.

Material and Methods

We enrolled 134 (83 male and 41 female) industrial workers. Modifying diet in renal disease (MDRD) equation was used to determine the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The CKDu stages 1–5 were assessed using Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KIDGO) guidelines.

Results

The mean eGFR was reported to be 99.2 for male workers and 85.2 ml/min per 1.73 m2 for female workers. The average eGFR among male workers was higher than female workers. 43.3% of workers had normal eGFR (> 90), while 52.2% of workers had a mild reduction (89–60), and 4.5% of workers had a moderate loss (59–45). No cases of severe loss and kidney failure (< 15) were noted. CKDu stage 2 was significantly higher in female workers than male workers. The increased odds ratio (OR) of CKDu stage 3 (< 60) was noted among male workers, with an increase in age, overweight, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, habits of smoking, and alcohol consumption.

Conclusion

The present study noted a lower eGFR and a higher OR of CKDu in industrial workers with risk factors. To avoid the progression from moderate severe loss and kidney failure, suggested weight reduction, avoiding smoking and alcohol consumption, and controlling diabetes and hypertension.

Authors: Bwankwot Manasseh Tachia , Duniya Emmanuel Kambai , LawaL Nafisa
Published: May 2024

This research provides valuable insights into using raw sugarcane bagasse (SB) as an adsorbent for dye removal from wastewater. Various activation and modification methods for SB were explored, including physical, chemical, and biological treatments, as well as composite formation and grafting. The study examined the effects of different optimization conditions on the adsorption process, such as adsorbent dosage, initial dye concentration, pH, and contact time. Key findings include an equilibrium contact time of 30 minutes for methylene blue dye, resulting in an 86% removal rate. The optimal pH for dye removal was identified as pH 6, achieving an 84% removal rate. The study also found that the optimum dye concentration for removal was 10 ppm, with a 70% removal rate, and the optimal adsorbent dosage was 0.4g, resulting in an 81% removal rate. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of raw sugarcane bagasse in adsorbing methylene blue dye under specific conditions, highlighting its potential as a low-cost and efficient adsorbent for wastewater treatment.
Rheological Investigations of Water-based and Solvent-based Lacquer Varieties and Their Significance in Leather Coating Characteristics
Authors: Saini Ritu , Garg Ashish
Published: May 2024

Leather finishing plays a crucial role in determining the final product's appearance, durability, and performance. Traditionally, solvent-based lacquers have been used as topcoats, offering excellent protection but raising environmental concerns. The development of water-based lacquers presents a promising alternative, significantly reducing solvent emissions. This study explores five different lacquer types for leather finishing. This study investigates the impact of rheological properties on the performance of water-based and solvent-based lacquers for leather coatings. Lacquer rheology was evaluated at a fixed temperature using oscillatory and steady shear rheometry, along with frequency sweep tests. Evaluations of shelf-life, emulsion stability (in demineralized and hard water), wet/dry rub resistance, gloss, and film peeling assessed the lacquers' performance on leather. We found that rheological properties influence stability, adhesion, color fastness, and gloss. Solvent-based lacquers exhibited superior gloss, and high resistance to rub tests enhancing the aesthetic qualities of the final finish. These findings highlight the importance of rheology in selecting lacquers for leather coatings, offering a path towards improved durability, aesthetics, and broader applicability.
van der Waals Radii of Free and Bonded Atoms From Hydrogen (Z=1) to Oganesson (Z=118)
Authors: Charry Martínez Jorge Alfonso , Tkatchenko Alexandre
Published: May 2024

Reliable numerical values of van der Waals (vdW) radii are required for constructing empirical force fields, vdW-inclusive density functional and quantum-chemical methods, as well as for implicit solvent models. However, multiple definitions exist for vdW radii, involving either equilibrium or closest contact distances between free or bonded atoms within molecules or crystals. For the paradigmatic case of hydrogen atom, its reported vdW radius fluctuates between 2.15 and 3.70 Bohr depending on the definition, leading to a high uncertainty in calculations and different conceptual interpretations of non-covalent interactions. In this work, we systematically review different definitions and methodologies to establish the free and bonded vdW radii for hydrogen, based on equilibrium vdW distances in non-covalently bonded molecules, enveloping electron density cutoffs, non-covalent positron bonds in hydrogen anion dimer, vacuum virtual photon cloud caused by the hydrogen atom, and atomic dipole polarizability. By doing so, we show that the vdW radius of free hydrogen atom is 3.16$\pm0.06$ Bohr. By employing the most general and elegant definition of atomic vdW radius as a function of the atomic polarizability, we tabulate consistent values of vdW radii for all atoms in the periodic table up to $Z=118$.
Investigating lipid transporter protein and lipid interactions using variable temperature electrospray ionization, ultraviolet photodissociation mass spectrometry, and collision cross section analysis
Authors: James Virginia , Voss Bradley , Helms Amanda , Trent M. Stephen , Brodbelt Jennifer
Published: May 2024

Gram-negative bacteria develop and exhibit resistance to antibiotics owing to their highly asymmetric outer membrane maintained by a group of six proteins comprising the Mla (maintenance of lipid asymmetry) pathway. Here we investigate the lipid binding preferences of one Mla protein, MlaC, which transports lipids through the periplasm. We used ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) to identify and characterize modifications of lipids endogenously bound to MlaC expressed in three different bacteria strains. UVPD was also used to localize lipid binding to MlaC residues 130-140, consistent with the crystal structure reported for lipid-bound MlaC. The impact of removing the bound lipid from MlaC on its structure was monitored based on collision cross section measurements, revealing that the protein unfolded prior to release of the lipid. The lipid selectivity of MlaC was evaluated based on titrimetric experiments, indicating that MlaC bound lipids in various classes (sphingolipids, glycerophospholipids, fatty acids) as long as they possessed no more than two acyl chains.

Microplastics (MPs), a universal pollutant is widely distributed in sediments, which attracted the environmental researchers worldwide. MPs are harmful may adsorb toxic compounds present in the environment, which can be ingested by benthic organisms and easily transfer to humans. We investigated the distribution of MPs and its types in beach sediments from the Tehuantepec River mouth, Gulf of Tehuantepec, Mexican Pacific coast. MPs are categorized by their size, shape, color, and polymer types. 73 % of MPs detected are < 5 mm in size. Fiber and colorless are mostly dominated in all samples. The fibers are weathered and degraded with adhered particles on their surfaces. The polymer types detected are polyacrylamide (PAM) and poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA), which are rarely reported in Mexico beach sediments. The prevalence of colorless MPs at the Gulf of Tehuantepec beach needs further attention.
Kant entre Franceses, Ingleses e Alemães
Authors: Martins Ferreira Gabriel
Published: May 2024

O presente artigo em seu interesse mais geral pretende estabelecer as diretrizes téoricas para a compreensão da relação entre ética e antropologia no pensamento de Kant. Contrariando uma determinada linha de interpretação dominante na pesquisa especializada sobre Kant, o presente artigo busca promover uma investigação de cunho histórico-filosófico, que contextualize no pensamento de Kant o momento em que três correntes filosóficas se entrecruzaram, ocasionando as linhas diretivas de seu debate tanto sobre o conceito de autonomia quanto sobre o de perfectibilidade, quais sejam: as filosofias de Hutcheson, Wolff e Rousseau. Nesta primeira parte, tematiza-se a discussão de Kant com Hutcheson e Wolff. De um ponto de vista mais específico, nesta primeira parte o presente artigo percorre as reflexões de Kant entre 1755 e 1764 com vistas a apresentar como se constitui no interior do pensamento kantiano a necessidade de se pensar uma relação entre ética e antropologia.
Representação Política em Thomas Hobbes
Authors: Djikoldigam Mbaidiguim
Published: May 2024

O artigo examina a teoria da representação por meio da qual o filósofo inglês Thomas Hobbes constrói a mais madura e elaborada versão de sua doutrina política. A demonstração do Leviatã inova e resolve certas ambiguidades dos trabalhos anteriores pelo uso da teoria da representação, apoio do poder supremo do soberano; abre a ciência política à modernidade. Com esta ficção, o raciocínio adquire uma coerência que ainda não havia atingido nem em Elements of Law nem em De Cive. Para Hobbes, a representação desempenha um papel decisivo na estruturação do mundo jurídico em que consiste o Estado. A partir do pensamento do filósofo inglês, a noção de representação alcança pela primeira vez um sentido político, inaugurando uma nova forma de compreender o vínculo social e político, bem como a instituição e perpetuação da comunidade política com sua conceituação como princípio de existência da comunidade.
Abordagem Cultural de John Hick como Resposta ao Problema da Diversidade Religiosa
Authors: Tavares Cavalcanti Paulo Estevão
Published: May 2024

Este trabalho discute a resposta de John Hick ao problema da diversidade religiosa, baseada na distinção entre o Real em si e a forma como Ele é experimentado e pensado por diferentes comunidades religiosas. Para isso, dividimos esse trabalho em três seções além da presente introdução e das considerações finais. Na primeira seção apresentamos o conceito hickiano de fenômeno religioso e discutimos sua afirmação em favor da ambiguidade do universo; a segunda seção é dedicada a análise da defesa de Hick da racionalidade da crença religiosa e na terceira seção apresentamos a hipótese pluralista de Hick e algumas variações e críticas a essa hipótese propostas por outros autores. Ao final apresentamos algumas considerações sobre o sucesso da hipótese de Hick em responder ao problema da diversidade religiosa.
Projeto de Psicologia Concreta e Psicanálise Existencial
Authors: Pereira Dias Matheus , Pereira de Souza Herivelto
Published: May 2024

No texto Crítica dos fundamentos da Psicologia (1928) Georges Politzer (1903-1942) procurou investigar as bases epistemológicas de algumas correntes da psicologia. Sua intenção era reorientar os estudos psicológicos para uma concepção concreta. Mediante análise da Gestaltheorie, Behaviorismo e da Psicanálise, Politzer esboçou um projeto de psicologia concreta com alguns princípios que orientam possíveis perspectivas de estudos sobre os fenômenos psicológicos. Seus princípios consistem em estudar os fatos psicológicos sob o prisma da primeira pessoa e consideram o homem em seu drama. Apesar de ser húngaro, o autor trilhou seu caminho político e intelectual na França do século XX, época em que Jean Paul Sartre (1905 1980) se debruçou sobre os fenômenos psicológicos sob o prisma da fenomenologia propondo uma Psicanálise Existencial ao final de O Ser e O Nada (1943). Nesse sentido, neste escrito verificaremos em que medida a teoria sartriana pode contemplar os princípios de uma psicologia concreta de Politzer.
Imagens da Catástrofe
Authors: Fabbrini Ricardo Nascimento
Published: May 2024

O artigo investiga a partir do livro “Imagens apesar de tudo”, de Georges Didi-Huberman, publicado originalmente em 2004, quatro fotografias remanescentes do Crematório V de Auschwitz-Birkenau, realizadas em agosto de 1944, pelo judeu grego Alberto Errera, membro do Sonderkommando. Destaca-se que é o seu gesto fotográfico investido do mais intenso sentido emocional (páthos) que atribui às suas imagens um caráter indicial que opera efetivamente como testemunho (superstes) permitindo imaginar o que é tido como “inimaginável” pelos “metafísicos do Holocausto”. Reagindo à tese da impossibilidade da representação das câmaras de gás, segundo a qual toda tentativa de configurá-las seria um falseamento do sofrimento por concessão à estetização, o artigo afirma que é preciso saber o que for possível, o que quer que seja sobre a dor que lá teve lugar. Evidencia-se, ainda, que são as “zonas de opacidade” das fotos de Alberto Errera que, ao veicularem o páthos, ativam a imaginação e forçam o pensamento do fruidor. É seu “desenquadramento” que, mobilizando o olhar sem parar, do ícone ao índice e deste àquele, não opera como interdição, mas, ao contrário, é o que dá a ver e saber algo mais sobre o que lá se deu. Por fim, conclui-se que o gesto de Alberto Errera transformou o “real histórico”, feito de horror e levante, em possibilidade de memória para o futuro, recorrendo tão somente a um resto de celuloide.

Este ensaio tenta articular três autores que têm tentado pensar o tempo presente na sua forma de crise permanente. Paulo Arantes, com a sua teoria da era da emergência, Joshua Clover, com a sua teoria da era dos motins, e Wolfgang Streeck e a era da entropia. Arantes nos servirá de fundamento teórico, enquanto que Clover nos ajudará a pensar as massas informais que se formam nos motins e Streeck nos ajudará a pensar o excesso de individualismo da situação presente. É neste último que recuperamos a ideia da necessidade de pensar a improvisação para concluir com o que poderia ser os traços gerais desta.

Devices that mimic a portion or function of the body in a safe, dependable, cost-effective, and physiologically appropriate way are made using biomaterials. Numerous tools and substances are now employed in the treatment of illness or injury, including everyday objects like tooth fillings, sutures, needles, catheters, plates, and so on. As time goes on, a synthetic substance that functions in close contact with live tissue or replaces a portion of a biological system might be summed up as a biomaterial. A biomaterial is described as "a systemically and pharmacologically inert substance designed for implantation within or incorporation with living things" by the Clemson University Advisory Board for Biomaterials. Materials, whether synthetic or natural, that may be utilized in any system that treats, enhances, or substitutes any organ, tissue, or bodily function for any length of time or on the other hand, a biological substance is one that is created by a biological system, like skin or an artery.

BİLGİ SAVAŞIMINDA YENİ MEDYA BAĞLAMINDA SAYISAL OLMAYAN HAREKÂT
Authors: Varlık Ali Bilgin
Published: May 2024

Günümüzdeki bilgi-iletişim teknolojilerindeki gelişmeler bilginin bütünüyle ‘yeni medya’ olarak tanımlanan ortamlarda üretilmesi, iletilmesi ve kullanılmasının yaygınlaşmasına imkân vermiştir. Bu yönüyle günümüzde yeni medyanın bilgideki başatlığından söz etmek abartılı olmayacaktır. Bilgi tabanlı teknolojilerdeki gelişim resmi ve resmi olmayan bilgi ortamlarında bilginin bir güç unsuru olarak bilgi harekâtı vasıtası olarak kullanılması anlamına gelen bilgi savaşımının etkisinde radikal iki dönüşüm yaratmıştır. Bunlardan birincisi siber harekât diğeri ise sayısal olmayan bilgi harekâtıdır. Her iki dönüşüm de aynı medya kaynağından beslenir. Bu nedenle yeni medya, bilgi savaşının en önemi bileşenlerinden biri haline gelmiştir. Yeni medyanın bahşettiği olanaklar bilgi savaşımının çeşitliliğini ve barış ortamında uygulanabilme imkanlarını artırmaktadır. Bu makale yeni medya ortamında bilgi savaşımının sayısal olmayan uygulamalarının neler olabileceği konusuna dairdir. Diğer bir ifadeyle makalede sayısal olmayan bilgi savaşında yeni medyanın rolünün ne olduğu sorusunun cevabı aranmaktadır. Bu maksatla her iki kavramın genel hatlarıyla çerçevesi çizilmiş müteakiben de karşılıklı etkileşimleri irdelenmiştir. Bu etkileşim taarruzî ve savunma (tedafüi) boyutlarıyla, stratejik, operatif, taktik ve teknik seviyelerde ele alınmıştır. Makale nitel araştırma yöntemiyle kategorik bir betimleme içermektedir. Bu yapısı ile makale ile literatürdeki mevcut terimsel ve kavramsal kargaşanın giderilmesine de katkı sağlamak amaçlanmıştır.

Authors: Keler Nihan , Sevim Erol Ayla
Published: May 2024

Adli antropoloji, çürümüş, yanmış, iskeletleşmiş cesetlerin kimliklendirme çalışmalarını yapan bilim dalıdır. Adli antropolojinin dünya çapında disiplin olarak tanınması 1970'li yılların başında kimliği belirlenemeyen cesetlerin kimlik tespiti çalışmalarıyla başlamıştır. Ülkemizde ise nispeten yeni gelişim göstermektedir. Dünyada ve ülkemizde giderek artan ve karmaşıklaşan suç oranlarıyla bağlantılı olarak adli bilimcilere olan ihtiyaç da artış göstermektedir.
Adli antropologlar ölüm olaylarının intihar, kaza, afet, terör saldırıları veya cinayet sonucu meydana geldiği durumlarda, tanınmayacak hale gelmiş insan iskeletlerinden biyolojik profil oluşturarak kimlik tespiti yapmaya yardımcı olurlar. İnsan iskeletlerinin kimliklendirme çalışmalarında olay yerinden laboratuvara giden süreç bir bütün olarak değerlendirilir. Dolayısıyla olay yerinden toplanan kemiklerin adli antropologlara paketlenmiş halde gönderilmesi dezavantajlı bir yaklaşımdır.
Bu çalışma, adli antropologların olay yeri incelemelerindeki rolünü belirlemek amacıyla literatür derlemesi şeklinde yapılmıştır.
Sonuç olarak, Adli antropologların görevi sadece tanımayacak hale gelmiş ve kimliği bilinmeyen bireylerin kimliklendirmesini yapmak değil aynı zamanda olay yeri incelemelerinde farklı durum ve koşullarda kanıt ve kalıntıların korunmasında önemli rol oynarlar. Ayrıca adli antropologlar, buluntunun kemik olup olmadığını eğer kemikse insana veya hayvana ait olduğunu, gömünün antik/aktüel ayrımını yapabilen uzmanlardır. Dolayısıyla olay yeri inceleme timlerinde adli antropologların bulunması adli vakalarda kimliklendirme çalışmalarının doğru ve güvenilir bir şekilde yapılması açısından önem taşımaktadır.
