Authors: Ríos Lara Geovanny Fabricio , León Lara Roxana Elizabeth , Medina Guerrero Wilson Eduardo , Romero Arévalo Dennis Adolfo
Published: July 2021

El posicionamiento representa una estrategia que ha ido adquiriendo cada vez más relevancia para las diferentes organizaciones. Esta situación se ha visto reflejada en la mayor utilización del posicionamiento como una herramienta indispensable para competir en un ambiente ampliamente globalizado. Por esta razón, el presente estudio se centra en diseñar estrategias de posicionamiento para la Federación Deportiva de Tungurahua, las cuales permitirán, como establece la literatura, obtener una mayor participación de mercado y por ende mayor rentabilidad. Metodológicamente tiene un diseño descriptivo-no experimenta, con aplicación de entrevista estructuradas a personal clave de la Federación Deportiva de Tungurahua, así como el uso de las matrices para el diagnóstico estratégico planteadas por David (2004). El principal resultado, fue la ausencia de un plan estratégico que ayude en la gestión de la organización, generando con ello un estancamiento empresarial y la consecuente pérdida de mercado. Se concluye sobre la necesidad de generar estrategias de posicionamiento buscando satisfacer las necesidades presentes y futuras de los distintos consumidores a través de un plan estratégico de marketing, las cuales se proponen.
Entorno social y bienestar emocional en el adulto mayor
Authors: Hernández Vergel Viviana Karina , Solano Pinto Natalia , Ramírez Leal Pastor
Published: July 2021

Lo que se presenta a continuación es un estudio basado en una metodología teórica documental que tiene como objetivo principal describir la relación que existe entre el entorno social y el bienestar emocional de los adultos mayores. En el desarrollo del artículo se define lo que es entorno social y bienestar emocional, así como se muestran las características que describen la etapa evolutiva de la vejez, edad adulta tardía o tercera edad, con la finalidad de mostrar la relación que existe entre cada una de esas definiciones. Los adultos mayores viven una etapa del desarrollo evolutivo determinada por el declive natural de las condiciones físicas, biológicas, intelectuales y psicoemocionales, lo cual es propio de las personas después de los 65 años, sin embargo, es necesario asumirlo desde la perspectiva de vejez positiva. Para ello es necesario conscienciar el potencial indiscutible de estímulo externo que posee el entorno social del adulto mayor para crear las condiciones objetivas y subjetivas que hagan de este momento vital una etapa satisfactoria.
Creativity’s essential others. Notes towards a poetics of re-creation.
Authors: Pope Rob
Published: July 2021

Through verbal experiment as well as critical and historical exposition, this article shows how

much more there is to notions of creation than creativity as currently understood. It also

highlights the crucial contribution of alternative terms such as imagination, inspiration and

emergence. Building on the recognition that the ‘create’ terms span discourses ranging

from the divine to the human and the artistic to the commercial, there is concerted

modeling of a wide variety of contemporary possibilities such as ‘hyper-creation’, ‘de-’

and ‘re-creat-ing’ and ‘post-creatives’. These cue fresh encounters with classic, especially

biblical ‘creation’ texts and develop into an expansive program of seriously playful poetics,

including ‘diagrammatics’, ‘dialogics’ and a generically hybrid form of ‘con-verse-ation’.

The reader is invited to participate as re-writer throughout, so the process is radically recreational and the project openly ongoing.
The stranger I become (for Jen Webb)
Authors: Coles Katharine
Published: July 2021

I am known to walk a lot by modern standards, on most days for seven or more miles. Fitness isn’t the point, at least not all of it. Walking spins ideas free; its rhythm puts me in touch with myself, and the distance I travel reminds me I am always loose on the planet. Setting a pace, sallying forth, reminds me, mind comprising as it does every part of the body, not least the heart, which tells me I am frightened or in love before I know to ask. The sensory organs—skin, eyes, ears—fire information constantly. Synthesised and brought to language in the brain, that information creates an ongoing sense of change that we call ‘mind’, which feels apart from the body but is of the body. Without the body, the brain is a dull grey blob, inert. Like it or lump it.
What counts as new?
Authors: Biggs Michael
Published: July 2021

The paper uses the form of an interview with editorial comments to take a multivocal approach to discussing creativity in research. This allows interrogation, statement and intertextuality to occupy the same dialogic space. Aspects of creativity in research are compared to traditional notions of creativity in studio art and more contemporary claims of creativity in business and innovation. Two visualisations of the relationship between creativity and comprehension are proposed, leading to a claim for a ‘scale of creativity’. Finally, studio art is proposed as a reverse function of academic art owing to being a solution in search of a question.
‘We’re all going to die’: Perceptions and experiences of time among creative practitioners
Authors: Brophy Kevin
Published: July 2021

This paper surveys briefly a range of modern ideas on the creative process and some possible approaches to understanding time, from scientific to philosophical, experiential and managerial. This paper argues that the relationship between time and productivity remains obscure, that the creative person’s commitment to an excessive and unpredictable use of time challenges administrations to adjust their expectations and re-value the use of work time, and finally that newly conceived levels of trust need to be foregrounded between an organisation and its most creative employees.
Creativity and the lyric address
Authors: Lorange Astrid
Published: July 2021

This paper sets out to understand ‘creativity’ as a term with a now-ubiquitous role in describing

contradictory dimensions of affective life in neoliberal capitalism. It argues that creativity can

be read contra its current meaning (that is, as the capacity for flexibility, agility and selforganisation), achieving both a critique of ‘creative thinking’ and a reorientation of creative

practice. In order to trial alternative ways of reading creativity, I look to the lyric poetry of

Claudia Rankine. I propose, following others before me, that creativity as a key concept for

neoliberalism informs ideas about creative practices such as poetry; this in turn informs

publishing, reading and teaching practices. The lyric poem, in its twentieth-century sense (as

more or less synonymous with poetry itself), is an exemplary textual form for neoliberal

creativity, and yet the lyric as a form betrays a far more complex set of relationships around

author, text and reader than is often assumed.
Practising poetry: thinking form, emulation and formal invention
Authors: Pont Antonia
Published: July 2021

This paper argues that poetry—as an example of a contemporary art practice—involves

inventiveness at several registers deserving of articulation. Whereas established forms of

practice stipulate in advance, to a certain degree, the form of the behaviour to be repeated

as practice (the kata of martial arts, the words and rhythms of prayer, the technical

gestures of archery), post-Enlightenment artistic practices can differ from and extend this

aspect of practice, in one important respect. If practice generally is that peculiar

constellation of ‘doing’ that invites the radically new and courts innovation, then in the

case of art the practice is doubly engaged with invention, since—after an

apprenticeship—it welcomes innovation at the level of its own form. This paper will

unpack this claim, with the aim of clarifying for practitioners of any art form, but

especially poetry, the two registers at which they can note the appearance and role of

newness and the difficulties faced in practising. It then takes up the example of

emulation, casting anew its place in an emerging poetic or artistic practice. Emulation

can be understood simply as a way practitioners lean on the behavioural forms and

examples set by their predecessors or peers, in moments when they are strengthening

practising itself. A practice, then, is likely to involve both of these modes: practising

within existing, fertile behavioural forms (such as emulation), and phases of more farreaching invention of the forms of that artistic practice itself. These indeed are entangled,

however, a precision regarding practice’s mechanisms, as well as an acknowledgement

of emulation’s contribution, it will be argued, can assist makers, but particularly poets,

to identity at what register their making might be hindered. Is it that they actually lack a

basic set of behaviours via which to pursue their work, or are they facing the inherent

difficulty of art, which welcomes the invention of new forms? By acknowledging that

art is doubly difficult as practice, due to its involving both a mustering of the stamina to

practice and also invention at the level of form, the poet-artist can work with both greater

deftness and patience.
‘No nails new under the sun’: Creativity, climate change, and the challenge to literary narrative in Thea Astley’s Drylands
Authors: Potter Emily
Published: July 2021

Thea Astley’s millennial novel Drylands, a self-declared ’book for the world’s last

reader’ (1999, title page), offers an opportunity to reappraise literary narrative and

creative experimentation in a time of climate change. This essay takes this up by reading

Astley’s text as a paradoxical account of literature’s failings to either nourish or repair a

drought-ridden, economically, environmentally and empathically beleaguered town in

regional Australia. Astley’s vision is ostensibly declentionist, wherein the only hope for

the future seems to lie in the inevitable ruins of the present. Within these ruins lies the

fate of particular, historical creative forms, most notably the literary novel, which, as an

expression of Western epistemology, is now evacuated of meaning. On the one hand,

Astley seems to offer no reversed fortune for her characters or the textual practice that

ironically brings them to life; however, the essay offers a further, dissonant reading of

the text through a perspective of distributed agency which, as climate change unfolds, is

where possibilities for literary work may lie.
What conditions and contexts enhance artistic creativity?
Authors: Ursell James
Published: July 2021

our capacities to be artistically creative. The paper concludes by formulating some of the

discussed research studies in practicable terms.
The underappreciated role of creativity in journalism
Authors: Ricketson Matthew
Published: July 2021

The role of creativity in journalism is relatively understudied, though that is changing, with a

growing literature about what is variously termed literary journalism, creative nonfiction, longform journalism and literary nonfiction. Creativity can and should be unshackled from highminded, even mystical conceptions of it from the Romantic period. By doing this, and by

examining a range of journalistic practices, in the conception, researching and writing of

journalism, this article argues for a broader understanding of the important role that creativity

plays in the craft of journalism.
On cultivating an attitude of precision with language: An uncommon prescription for conditioning creative excellence in scientific discovery and education
Authors: Waters David
Published: July 2021

Investing years of intensive training, scientists ready themselves to make sense of the world. But

are they prepared to make sense of a world of words? The aim of this paper is to explore the

pivotal role that cultivating an attitude of precision with language could play in conditioning

creative excellence in scientific discovery and education. First, the unexpected linkage between the processes of language precision and successful failure is explored. Next, an attempt is made to situate language precision within the creative process. Then, another potential dividend from

developing exactitude with language is explored—the power of neologism. Finally, an attempt is

made to construct a useful synthesis—one favoring a new educational prescription in which

creative excellence in the sciences is informed and catalyzed by the humanities.
Creative In-formation—a Per-formance or possibly a list poem—does it matter? Back to the drawing board …
Authors: Rice Sarah
Published: July 2021

This article performs the creative act of giving form to writing—whether that of an

academic paper, poem or artwork. It is a demonstration of the ‘turn of the line’,

watching itself turning from post-structuralist foundation through photographic essay

to poetic performance. The ‘paper’ (existing only electronically) aims to capture the

strange gathering of matter that constitutes the giving of form. By employing a

philosophico-poetic approach, and drawing on ideas taken from philosophy, the

history of art, and poetry (such as negative space, materiality, and material poetics),

this article aims to capture creativity in the act.
A seethe of poets: creativity and community
Authors: Webb Jen , Carroll Monica
Published: July 2021

This article explores the social and cultural status of contemporary poetry, with

reference to the enduring myth of the lone genius. Drawing on a corpus of research

interviews with poets and on creativity literature, we analyse the validity of isolated

poetic genius, comparing the narratives of the solitary life with the material evidence of

lives spent in connection with others. Indications in previous studies of creativity

suggest the importance of community and networks in building creative thought and

capacity, and we examine transcripts from our interviews with 76 contemporary poets

to compare their experience with that of other communities. Our findings indicate the

importance of social and community networks among poets of high repute.
Walking, talking, looking: the Calibre Essay and remembering persuasively in Australia
Authors: Juckes Daniel
Published: July 2021

The Calibre Essay Prize has been awarded annually since 2007 by the _Australian Book

Review_. In this paper I argue that a number of the Calibre essays represent a

discontinuous, but vital, conversation concerning the interaction between Indigenous

and non-Indigenous Australians. I use the work of Ross Gibson to interpret some of the

commended and winning essays. I suggest that the essay form is suited to negotiating

difficulties that persist in contemporary Australia as a result of colonial incursion, and

argue that the Calibre essays under examination offer possible mechanisms for

reconciliation. The form and method of the essay, as well as the finished work itself,

help writer and reader to engage with others, with silences, and with the past through

concentration of focus, conversation and reciprocity, and the particular flâneur-like

qualities of essay writing. I argue that the Calibre essays are examples of what Gibson

calls persuasive remembering (2015b: 29).
The essay in the Anthropocene: towards entangled nonfiction
Authors: Carlin David
Published: July 2021

The essay as a genre in the tradition of Montaigne stages the inadequacies of attempts

to grasp at objects and what connects us to them and them to us and us to each other,

and then slings away the safety wheels by wondering: who we are anyway? But what

happens to the essay in the age of ‘hyperobjects’ (Morton 2013) like global warming?

This essay examines how the anti-methodical techniques of the essay (personal, lyric)

might be placed to respond to life in the Anthropocene, when the ‘I’ of the essayist

finds itself in increasingly uncharted waters, when ‘nature’ itself, let alone ’human

nature’, begin to look like quaint conceptual knick-knacks, and when humans can no

longer claim special ontological status over nonhumans. Philosophers, anthropologists,

environmental humanists and other scholars are increasingly experimenting with

modes of writing enmeshing scientific data and critical theory with affectively charged,

embodied and intimate accounts. At the same time, essayists are rethinking the

boundaries of the personal, and trying new ways to write from a standpoint rejecting

human/nonhuman binaries. This essay seeks to draw connections across the disciplines,

to invite further alliances between creative writers and fellow academics, as together

we essay the Anthropocene with entangled nonfiction.
Embodied subjectivity and the project of the contemporary literary essay
Authors: van Loon Julienne
Published: July 2021

The essay’s capacity to narrate a situated and embodied experience that entwines

poetics, politics and affect enables the form a particular methodology. Contemporary

critical theorist Rosi Braidotti has argued for the urgent need to revise theoretical

aspects of affect and authenticity so as to more fully register the increasingly complex

way we experience embodied subjectivity (2013). In this article, I argue that the

contemporary literary essayist is well placed to negotiate such a revision, and that

renewed interest in the form of the literary essay during the last two decades can be

read as a timely contribution to such a project.
Provocatively calm: on David Malouf as essayist
Authors: Allington Patrick
Published: July 2021

This article examines the essays of David Malouf, many of which have been recently

collected in three thematic volumes: A First Place (2014), The Writing Life (2014)

and Being There (2015). My starting point is to argue that Malouf’s most important

essays are politically charged. As a writer-activist he posits distinctive, sometimes

controversial, positions, arguing strongly and passionately for alternative ways of

thinking about Australia and the world, and indeed alternative ways for human beings

to move through, and participate in, the world. However, Malouf is no firebrand: the

tone of his essays is relentlessly calm; he brings together the emphatic and the

empathetic, and he still tries to convince the reader. This article focuses on the political

implications of Malouf’s calm but opinionated approach to his essays, as well as on

how Malouf sets out to persuade readers.

Wild associations: Rebecca Solnit, Maggie Nelson and the lyric essay
Authors: Dicinoski Michelle
Published: July 2021

The lyric essay often works associatively to create meaning through metaphor, analogy,

and the juxtaposition of anecdotes, observations, or citations. This paper examines

these ‘wild’ associations in Rebecca Solnit’s The Faraway Nearby (2013), and in

Maggie Nelson’s Bluets (2009) and The Argonauts (2015). It argues that all three texts

work like long lyric essays and construct an essaying ‘I’ whose associative approach

presents not just a view of the world but a method for viewing the world.
Essay (queer). The. Essay. Queer. And. All. That.
Authors: Rendle-Short Francesca
Published: July 2021

What is this thing we call/name essay, and what is its relationship to queer? This paper claims that the joy of essay (and queer) is that there are no answers necessarily – the pleasure or jouissance is in what the search might bring and where it might take you; how the search is, or might be expressed. Essay (queer) elevates all that is tangential, oblique, unspoken, transitory, ambiguous, unsettled, peculiar, strange. Maggie Nelson sets the scene with an exposition of language, experience, and reasons for keeping on writing, giving us her why-I-write moment. What follows in this paper, with examples, is a consideration of etymologies, form, unconventions, and desire. In shaping a view, the approach taken ruptures the so-called borders between scholarly and creative to present a fluid, free-forming thing that does what Nelson suggests is ‘never as certain, but always as possible’ (2015: 142). It takes pleasure in Hélène Cixous’s imund or ‘not unclean’ idea of writing (1993).
From Aristotle to crime scene: a forensics of the academic essay
Authors: Sturm Sean
Published: July 2021

Writing in the academy is almost always about making a claim, or ‘case’, based on

evidence, as one does in court: its rhetoric is forensic (L. forensis ‘in open court, public’,

from forum), in Aristotle’s sense. Just as forensic rhetoric takes as a given the laws of

the polis and is directed at persuading a judge (Aristotle 1991: 80-82), academic writing

assumes a set of rules (one must be sincere, demonstrate one’s argument using evidence,

and obey a certain decorum) and is written to persuade an assessor, namely a teacher or

peer. And, since the Harvard ‘forensic system’ of essay writing in the late 1870s

(Russell 2002: 51-63), it has often been taught in the language of forensic rhetoric: in

particular, the apocryphal ‘rhetorical triangle’ of persuasion by ethos, logos and pathos

(Booth 1963; Kinneavy 1971) and the informal logic of the enthymeme (Toulmin 1958).

At its best, academic writing provides a forum to animate and air ideas. As such, it is

amenable to what Eyal Weizman calls forensis: ‘a critical practice’ that ’interrogate(s)

the relation between … fields and forums’ (Weizman 2014: 9; compare Braidotti 2013

on the ‘forensic turn’). For Weizman, a field is a ‘contested object or site (of investigation)’ and a forum is ‘the place where the results of an investigation are presented and contested’ (Ibid.). Where forensics allows objects like bodies, weapons and scenes to ‘speak’, forensis can give voice to sites like academic architecture (Sturm and Turner 2011), forms (McLean and Hoskin 1998) or even essays. Here I explore the academic essay as a forensic site, ‘an entry-point from which to reconstruct larger processes, events and social relations, conjunctions of actors and practices, structures and technologies’ of the academy (Weizman 2014: 18-19). The academic essay is at once a report on research, an argument, a fractal structure, a means of assessment and,

as this essay will argue, an exemplar of and exercise in performativity (Sturm 2012).
Analysis of Differences in Tariff for Health Service Based on Sustability of Diagnosis on Admision and Summary Discharge Form with INA-CBGs Verification
Authors: Oktamianiza Oktamianiza , Maisa Putra Deni , Yulia Yulfa , Fahira Agni , Afridon Afridon
Published: July 2021

The implementation of the National Health Insurance starting in January 2014 made a change in the payment system from the Retrospective Paymant System to the Prospective Payment System with INA-CBG's rates. The difference in INA-CBG's rates and hospital rates is a fundamental problem so that hospitals must make efforts to achieve quality and cost control. the purpose of this research was to determine the Analysis of Differences in Tariff for Health Service Based on sustability of Diagnosis on the admision and discharge summary form (RM1) with INA-CBGs Verification at Hospital Dr. Reksodiwiryo Padang. The results of the study found that the accuracy of disease diagnosis and patient medical treatment was on the RM1 form (21.7%), on the INA-CBGs verification (56.5%). Differences in disease diagnosis and patient medical treatment on RM1 form with INA-CBGs verification (63.0%), and differences in health service fees based on accuracy of patient diagnosis and medical treatment on RM1 form with INA-CBGs verification (63.0%) . There is a significant relationship between the difference in the Tariff of health services with the accuracy of diagnosis on the RM1 form and the INA-CBGs verification which is quite large, due to the discrepancy in writing the diagnosis on RM1 with the INA-CBGs verification.
Determinants of Health Service Efficiency in Hospi-tal: A Systematic Review
Authors: Nisa Srimayarti Berly , Leonard Devid , Zhuhriano Yasli Dicho
Published: July 2021

One of the benchmarks for assessing service performance in hospitals is efficiency in medical services. Measurement of service  efficiency will affect the quality of the hospital. Patients will consider the completeness of the service facilities they have and the quality of services to be obtained. This is due to the tendency of people to seek quality health services. Improving service quality standards in hospitals will have an impact on increasing income and getting recognition from the community for the quality of services in hospitals. This study aims to look at the determinant factors that affect hospital efficiency. This study uses a systematic review method based on the PRISMA protocol. Article searches were conducted through four online databases (PubMed, ProQuest, SAGE and SpingerLink). The initial search found 307 articles, filtered using inclusion criteria, so as many as 8 articles were analyzed with a time span of 2017-2021. The efficiency of health services in hospitals is the basis for obtaining a wider patient base and producing quality services. The results of the literature study show that there are 29 factors affecting hospital efficiency. The various factors obtained were categorized into organizational factors, health resource factors, and technical efficiency factors.
Referential Communication Between Friends and Strangers in the Wild
Authors: Liu Kris , D'Arcey J. Trevor , Walker Marilyn , Fox Tree Jean
Published: July 2021

The Map Task (Anderson et al., 1991) and Tangram Task (Clark & Wilkes-Gibbs, 1986) are traditional referential communication tasks that are used in psycholinguistics research to demonstrate how conversational partners mutually agree on descriptions (or referring expressions) for landmarks or unusual target objects. These highly-controlled, laboratory-based tasks take place under conditions that are relatively unusual for naturally-occurring conversations (Speed, Wnuk, & Majid, 2016). In this study, we used the Artwalk Task (Liu, Fox Tree, & Walker, 2016) – a real world-situated blend of the Map Task and Tangram Task – to demonstrate that the process of negotiating referring expressions ‘in the wild’ is similar to the process that takes place in a laboratory. In Artwalk, participant pairs communicated via a Skype-to-mobile phone connection. One participant guided the other through a small downtown area with the goal of identifying public art objects, finding objects twice during two rounds. In addition to replicating laboratory results, we also found that acquaintanceship and extraversion influenced the number of unique descriptors used by dyads in this task. In Round 1, introverts in stranger dyads used fewer descriptors but introverts in friend dyads were indistinguishable from extraverts. The influence of extraversion declined by Round 2. This study suggests that referent negotiation observed in labs is generalizable but that naturalistic communication is subject to social and personality factors that may not be as influential in laboratory conditions.
Propostas para a educação especial em tempos de pandemia: exclusão escancarada
Authors: Vaz Kamille , Barcelos Liliam Guimarães de , Garcia Rosalba Maria Cardoso
Published: July 2021

Nesse artigo buscamos discutir as propostas para a educação especial no contexto de pandemia causada pela COVID-19. Com base nos pressupostos teóricos e metodológicos do materialismo histórico e dialético, analisamos documentos internacionais e nacionais que propõem alternativas de ensino não presencial para os estudantes da educação especial. Verificamos a participação de organizações multilaterais na difusão de novas formas de produzir educação no mundo e na construção do consenso de que, no Brasil, o ensino remoto é a única forma de adequar o calendário escolar neste contexto. Constatamos que as recomendações para a educação dos estudantes da educação especial não diferem das propostas para o ensino presencial já difundidas pelas políticas educacionais, embora reconheçam que esses estudantes não se beneficiam das soluções à distância. Concluímos que as propostas para a educação especial no período da pandemia escancaram a exclusão do acesso ao conhecimento científico, que permeia, historicamente, a educação desses grupos de estudantes.

PREDICTING THE GROWTH CURVE OF BODY WEIGHT IN MALEO BIRDS (MACROCEPHALON MALEO)
Authors: Widya Pintaka Bayu Putra
Published: July 2021

Maleo bird (Macrocephalon maleo) is the one of protected bird’s species and originated from Sulawesi island of Indonesia. This study was carried out to obtain the growth curve of body weight (BW) in mixed-sex Maleo birds from hatching to yearling ages. The growth curve in this study was calculated with non-linear regression of Logistic (L) and Gompertz (G) models using CurveExprt 1.4. computer program. The primary data in this study was cited from previous study through a literature study. Research showed that the asymptotic weight (A) in birds was 1825.34 g (L) and 3429.23 g (G). The weight of inflection (Wi) in studied birds were 912.67 g (L) and 1260.75 g (G). The time of inflection (ti) in birds was 8.51 months (L) and 11.00 months (G). The maximum growth rate in birds was 159.72 g/month (L) and 151.29 g/month (G). The coefficient of determination (R2) in both models included of very high category (0.80<R2<1.00) but the lower of standard error (SE) value showed in L model. It can be concluded that the non-linear regression of Logistic model can be used as BW predictors in mixed-sex Maleo birds.

Published: July 2021

One of the plants created by Allah SWT that has many benefits is the rhizome of red galangal. Red galangal rhizomes contain essential oils consisting of methyl-sinamat, sineol, eugenol, kamfer, galangin, flavonoids, saponins and tannins. In addition to red galangal rhizomes, a natural ingredient that has many benefits is olive oil. In olive oil there are phenolic compounds that serve to antifungi, antibacterial, antioxidants. To formulate both plants, shampoo preparation innovations are made. In formulaizing shampoo preparations it is necessary to pay attention to the selection of surfactants. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is a surfactant that has a large washing power, provides a lot of foam and a relatively low irritant effect. Utilization of red galangal rhizomes and olive oil with SLS comparison in shampoo is an alternative source of safer shampoo preparations for people with scalp infections. The observed dosage evaluation parameters are organoleptic, pH, viscosity, homogeneity and storage stability analyzed using ANOVA. The results of shampoo preparation quality testing obtained that formulations 2.3 and 4 in accordance with SNI standards and obtained the results of shampoo preparations are light brown, strong flavor with a pH of 5.2-5.3 at H0 and 8.2-8.6 on H12, with viscosity of 945-1534 cP at H0 and 154-3145 cP in H12.

The dynamics of government system in Indonesia has a long way road since Indonesia secure their independence in 1945. Acco rding to Indonesia constitution, Indonesia adhere the presidential system. Yet, in practice the government system in Indonesia seems more like a Parliamentary system. During the period of 1945-1959, The presidential system in Indonesia doesn’t have any places to operate, entered the guided democracy era, the presidential system obtain its first place. Seeing that, the president success to obtain their power and became a dictator, after Sukarno was remove from the office, Indonesia entered the “new order” regime. This regime just like guided democracy era, the President became center of the power because president was choosed by the parliament and most the fellow comes from the party government. After reformasi in 1998, the presidential system has their own challenges. Considering, the multyparty system felt is not compatible with the presidential system. Hence, as long as Indonesia established, the presidential system in Indonesia has their own dynamic and challenges. Every regime has their own dynamic and challenges.

Inferential skill plays an important part in the comprehension of language and enhances educational performance of school-aged children. We examined the role of age, gender and scholastic performances in inferential skills of preadolescent students attending English medium school (age range 8 to 12 years). In order to compare the inferential skills across age, gender and scholastic performances, t-test was used. There was a steady increase in the inference skills of students with increasing age. The inferential skills of male students were found to be better than female students. Students with above average scholastic performance made more inferences than students with below average scholastic performance. The higher scores in inferential skills across these three domains could be due to better vocabulary, reading comprehension and world knowledge. This paper emphasizes on the importance of inferential skills in educational success. It identifies the key factors influencing the inferential skills and the need to work on them by the school-based speech language pathologists (SLP).

Published: July 2021

Objective- Providing a healthy satisfactory visual acuity approach to a patient of Keratoconus fitted with a Rose-K contact lens.
Introduction- Rose K lens is an effective option for visual improvement in irregular cornea such as Keratoconus. Contact lenses are the mainstay therapy for Keratoconus and are the treatment modality of choice in 90% of patients due to corneal surface irregularity.
Case History- A 32-year-old female patient visited at Ahooja Eye & Dental Institute, Gurugram, with the chief complaint of diminished vision in her left eye for the last one month. The patient did not complain about diminished vision in the right eye. Earlier, the patient had diagnosed with the case of Keratoconus somewhere else and suggested to be continued with the glasses. The patient had a history of spectacles in the last 7 years and using the current prescription for the last 4 months. Visual acuity for distance & near, with glass and the current prescription was recorded.
Conclusion- In our case, after all the presented findings and trial, one pair of Rose K2 lenses of varying total diameter and optic zone diameter was ordered. The patient was asked to visit for lens collection and follow up after 6 months. Lastly, it is advised that all Rose k practitioners keep at least two to three trial lenses, assess the fit in each fit, and choose lenses based on corneal topography.

Published: July 2021

Health is the most basic human right and one of the most important indicators of sustainable development. Individuals, communities and societies depend on healthy ecosystems support to remain healthy. Well-functioning ecosystems provide goods and services essential for human health. These goods and services include nutrition and food security, clean air and fresh water, medicines, cultural and spiritual values, and contributions to local livelihoods and economic development. They can also help to limit disease and stabilize the climate. However, over the years human activities have been constantly placing pressure on earth’s natural resources to meet the demands of the economies and the needs of a rapidly growing global population, which has resulted in the transformation of basic natural processes such as weather/climate, biogeochemical cycling, and more so the biological diversity in which the evolutionary changes depend. It is projected that less than 25% of Earth’s surface remains free from substantial impacts of human activities and the proportion is set to fall to a mere 10% or less by 2050. Constant human activities are resulting in soil, water and air pollution, increased emissions of greenhouse gases, deforestation and land use change, expanded urban areas, introduction of non-native species, and inadequately planned development of water and land resources to meet food and energy needs. These changes are having both direct and indirect impacts on our climate, ecosystems and biological diversity and human health. Thus, the integrated course of action that involves both individual and the government efforts must be instituted to tackle both human-induced drivers of biodiversity loss, disease emergence and the loss of ecosystem services that support health and general human well-being.

Studies indicate flexibility in space use in architectural design as enhancing core housing affordability. Despite this and the notion that intended residents cannot afford core houses, it is not yet documented what constitutes this attribute, and whether they featured in the core house designs. This information, required as a check for future designs, is lacking. Study examined flexibility in space use in architectural designs of existing public core housing schemes in Anambra State, Nigeria, using Mixed Method approach (data sourced from architectural drawings of existing prototypes, field observations and personal interview protocols). Observation schedule with “Yes” and “No” ratings was used in ascertaining reflection of the attribute in each of the 7 prototypes studied. The attribute was found featuring only in 1 out of the 7 prototypes. For affordability improvement, the paper recommends consideration of the variables constituting flexibility in space use in future core housing designs in Anambra State.
