Authors: Jafari Hasan , Rahimi Mohammad Kazem , Jam Barsang Sara , Birjandi Zohreh
Published: April 2024

Background. Improving the quality of working life of organizations' employees affects the quality of the services they provide, their productivity, and their mental health. Studies have shown that the low quality of working life increases the number of employee complaints, the rate of absenteeism, and the application of disciplinary regulations, but decreases the employees' positive attitude and discourages their participation in the suggested system programs. Meeting the needs of employees, on the other hand, leads to the improvement and long-term efficiency of the organization. Moral intelligence refers to the capacity and ability of an individual to understand right from wrong, have strong moral beliefs and act based on them, and behave appropriately. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between moral intelligence and quality of working life of the officials working in different units of the teaching hospitals in Yazd city, Iran. Methods. In this descriptive study, a census sampling method was adopted to investigate all officials (i.e., 75 individuals) working in different units of teaching hospitals affiliated with Shahid Sadougi University of Medical Sciences in Yazd, Iran in 2023. Two standard questionnaires including moral intelligence of Kiel and Lenik and the quality of life of Casio were used to collect the required data. It should be noted that the demographic information including age, sex, education, and work experience was provided at the beginning of the questionnaires and before its main items. The questionnaires were distributed and collected by the researcher visiting the hospital and providing additional explanations. Data analysis was performed by using SPSS version 22 software, descriptive statistics (i.e., prevalence, mean, standard deviation), as well as t-test, ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U, and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Results. Majority of the participants were females (62.7%), aged 31-40 years (49.3%), had a work experience of 10-20 years (56%), and had bachelor's degrees (54.7%). The total score of the quality of working life of the participants was (107.82±18.63), and the total score of the moral intelligence was (163.76±16.11). Therefore, the scores of both variables were above the average level. Generally, there was no significant relationship between the two variables of quality of working life and moral intelligence (P=0.051), but a significant relationship was observed between the participation and communication dimensions of the overall score of moral intelligence (P<0.05). Conclusion. It was recommended that the policy makers and macro decision makers in the field of health and treatment should pay more attention to the improvement of communication between employees and officials as well as to the encouragement of participation in decision-making and goal-setting processes, which, in turen, may have contributed to strengthening moral intelligence and improving the quality of their life in the organization.

Authors: Khajeh Zahra , Yazdi-Feyzabadi Vahid , Nakhaee Nouzar
Published: April 2024

Background: Understanding the relationship between religiosity and health behaviors helps us tailor messages based on cultural beliefs. We conducted an online survey to find any relationship between fatalistic beliefs, religiosity, and mask-wearing as a health behavior in an Islamic context. Methods: An online questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was conducted via convenience sampling. The participants consisted of 503 subjects from the adult population of Kerman province, located in southeast Iran. The measurement tool consisted of four sections: (A) demographic characteristics, (B) three items related to mask-wearing, (C) The God Locus of Health Control (GLHC) scale, consisting of six items measuring fatalistic beliefs, and (D) The Duke University Religion Index (DUREL), consisting of five items measuring religiosity. "Mask adherence" applied to those who wore masks during all public activities (i.e., continually). Results: The mean age of the participants was 36.5±10.9 years, and females comprised 60% (n=302) of the sample. More than one-fifth (n=109) reported a history of COVID-19 infection. Approximately one-third of respondents (n=163) reported full mask adherence. The logistic regression model showed that there was no significant relationship between mask adherence and religiosity (odds ratio [OR]=1.03; 95% CI=0.99–1.08) or fatalistic beliefs (OR=1.01; 95% CI=0.98–1.04). Conclusion: Fatalism and religiosity had no association with mask-wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Iranian Muslim population. Therefore, religious beliefs may have no place in the cultural tailoring of health messages for promoting mask adherence.
Computer modeling of supersonic gas flow in variable cross-section channels using OpenFOAM
Authors: I.S. Dmytriieva
Published: April 2024

With the development of high-performance computing systems, various software products are being created for mathematical modeling of physical phenomena, including gas-dynamic processes. Today, there are a number of different software packages, both proprietary and open source. One of these open source packages is OpenFOAM. OpenFOAM has a wide range of capabilities to solve any problem - from complex fluid flows, including chemical reactions, turbulence, and heat transfer, to acoustics, sol-id mechanics, and electromagnetism. Let's consider the problem of mathematical modeling of supersonic gas flow in channels of variable cross-section. When considering problems related to the formation and propagation of disconti-nuity surfaces in gases, gas leakage from supersonic engine nozzles, interaction of strong compression surges with obstacles, etc., it becomes necessary to solve the equations of gas dynamics. We consider the flow of supersonic gas in channels of variable cross-section in one-dimensional, two-dimensional and three-dimensional formulations. The problem of decay of an arbitrary discontinuity was analyzed in detail by N.E. Kochin in 1928. The algorithm for solving this problem is described in detail. The system of equations for solving the problem of rupture decay in a 3-dimensional formulation for the Cartesian coordinate system in the form of column vectors. The results of the calculations show that the implemented numerical solution in OpenFOAM using the Godunov, HLLC, and Rowe methods coincide with the solutions of each other. Rusanov's method has a slight difference compared to the other methods. This can be seen in the system of jumps and numerical values of gas parameters.

Published: April 2024

The spatial and temporal dynamics of forest-tundra communities was studied on the Yamal Peninsula within the northern treeline ecotone. The paper presents the results of surveying 12 sample plots and more than 1000 trees of Siberian larch and Siberian spruce. Based on cross-dated tree-ring chronologies, the age structure and dynamics of stands for the last 150 years were obtained. Dynamic processes in stands of the northern treeline ecotone are most pronounced in the sparse forests, where there has been a sharp increase in stand density since the middle of the 20th century. Correlation analysis of tree establishment time with instrumental observations of climatic variables showed that the establishment of new larch and spruce individuals in different stand types is significantly influenced by the amount of precipitation in June-August.

Published: April 2024

Nowadays the issues related to environmental pollution by factors of various origins are topical. The article considers the impact of such technogenic pollution as radiation. At present. the study of this area is quite relevant. since a prosperous human existence does not do without the use of nuclear energy. In this regard. the risk of catastrophes is increasing. which entails irreversible consequences for plant communities and the biosphere as a whole. An example of such irreversible consequences is the largest catastrophe of the last century, which occurred at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. It is the consequences associated with this event are affected in this paper. since the objects of the study are located in the area directly exposed to the wave of radiation damage. The paper reveals the issue of the impact of radiation contamination on plants. The object of the study were plantations of oak cherry. Plots with minimum (1-4.99 Curie) and maximum (5-14.99 Curie) radiation doses. as well as a "clean" control plot were selected. We clarified the features of the influence of different doses of radiation on the growth of pedunculate oak using the dendrochronological method and revealed the reliability of the results obtained using mathematical statistics methods for a selected number of samples. The dynamics of radial growth of oak trees at the studied objects was studied. Based on the obtained analytical data, a tendency for the influence of radiation on growth was established, namely, a decrease in the values of radial growth was established. It was also established that the change in growth depends on the dose of radioactive radiation the objects under study were exposed to.

Published: April 2024

The dynamics of the radial increment of a 150-year-old Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) tree stand in the Usmansky pine forest, Voronezh region (island forest of the forest-steppe of the Russian Plain), was studied as an indicator of the dynamics of climatic conditions and the basis of tree stand productivity. The cyclical dynamics of the increment of total, early and late wood of Scots pine over a period of more than a century was revealed, due to the influence of growth-limiting climate factors. In the dynamics of fluctuations in the total width of tree rings and early wood of Scots pine, as well as the growth-limiting factor, atmospheric precipitation, the Brickner cycle prevails, lasting 32, 40-41 years. The 11- and 24-year cycles are also clearly visible. In the dynamics of latewood fluctuations, the 10-11-year cyclicity is most pronounced. In solar activity fluctuations, the leading one is the 10-11-year cyclic component. Fluctuations in the hydrothermal coefficient are dominated by a high-frequency component (2-4 years); low-frequency cyclicity is also present (73, 50, 38 years, etc.). Correlations and the strength of influence of key limiting factors for the Central forest-steppe have been established: the amount of precipitation and air temperatures. The importance of March precipitation for the formation of early wood and April precipitation of late wood was revealed. For May-August, there is a clearly expressed positive correlation with precipitation (up to 0.42 in May for early wood) and a negative correlation with temperature (up to -0.3 for early wood, also in May). The correlation coefficient with the HTC is significantly higher than with precipitation and temperature separately for all types of wood. The relationship is positive and significant (0.52-0.55). The strength of influence on the formation of the width of annual rings is also maximum for HTC (up to 81 % for late wood). A preliminary assessment of carbon sequestration by mature pine plantations was carried out. It was revealed that one average tree of a 150-year-old forest stand deposited 12.8 g of carbon on average over the last 10 years (2013-2022).

Published: April 2024

The study aims to provide a descriptive understanding about the adoption of artificial intelligence in HRM by the business organizations in the contemporary business environment. Literature review has been adopted as a research tool in the study. All sources of literature were searched and reviewed. The literature review has revealed that the corporate sector is rarely utilizing AI in the overall management of human resources. Even many companies were found to be not showing readiness behavior towards robotic process animated techniques because of its complex nature. However, literature review based on systematic literature review/bibliometric literature review/meta-analysis is suggested to increase the thoroughness of the review process in future researches to facilitate the generalisation of the results. Another limitation of the study is that no empirical evidence has been collected. The study has Industry Implications as through AI, businesses can enable computers/machines to act as robotic assistant tools to perform functions that are generally implemented by human cognition. In the age of technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) serves as a real breakthrough for human resource development as it assists the present stressful corporate world by replacing human intelligence into machine intelligence. The study highlighted the theoretical significance of Artificial Intelligence in the field of Human Resource Management. Along with that, the study concludes that businesses should try to adopt AI more in the management of its human resources in order to remain competitive in the present and future world of work. But, at the same time, it will not replace emotional intelligence significantly required for human resources management.

Weekly body weight data from 133 offspringsof Bovan Nera (NB), 93 of White Leghorn (WL), 105 of Giriraja(GR), 197 of Naked Neck (NN), 164 of Frizzle Feather (FF), 186 of Normal Feather (NF) and 115 of improved indigenous FUNAAB Alpha chicken (BA) were used for the study. The birds were individually wing tagged at day old for proper identification purpose. They were brooded in a brooding cage for the first three weeks then housed and reared on a deep litter until twenty weeks of age. Feed and water was givenad libtum. Weekly weight gain of the birds were subjected to four nonlinear growth models, Logistics, Gompertz, Richards and Bertalanffy to estimate the growth curve of the birds using fixed effect modeland the procedure of NLIN (Marquart algorithm) The growth curves as predicted by the four models considered showed that both male and female GR followed by NB expressed better growth rate and highest weight at 20 weeks of age compared to other genotypes during late dry season and early wet season while the growth curve of WL in female and, WL and NF in male during late dry season had the lowest predicted curve. The predicted growth curve during early wet season had NF presenting the lowest growth curve for most of the model. The predicted growth curve showed a more consistence output in Logistic and Gompertz model. The goodness of fit favoured Gompertz as the model of best fit for predicting growth curve in both local and locally adapted chickens.

Promoting Arabic as a Foreign Language in the Middle East and North Africa: Host-Grounded Study Abroad Discourses
Authors: Fahmi Zakaria , Liska Dacota
Published: April 2024

Following the 9/11 tragedies, the interest in Arabic language and culture in non-traditional destinations such as MENA (Middle East & North Africa) has become vastly obscured with sociocultural and political issues. The mandate to maintain national security served to designate the language and its destinations critical, producing the hegemony of a political rationality that thrives on the globalist commodification of language and risks the homogenization of world cultures. To interrogate these essentialist discourses and others, we examine the ideologies underlying MENA host-grounded discourses to discern the valorization of the language in those destinations, as steered by the needs of globalization and power relations. Drawing upon an adapted, complementary multimodal critical discourse analysis (MCDA) approach, the current study analyzes the linguistic and visual resources of three study abroad (SA) programs’ websites. We argue that the orientalist gaze is bidirectional within the host and U.S. based discourse for matters of sociopolitical and economic interdependencies and that joint constructions of global hierarchies and economic inaccessibilities remain prevalent.

Published: April 2024

Providing students opportunities to travel outside their home country to engage new cultures and perspectives increases global awareness and desirable workplace skills. Students are most influenced to go abroad by cost, course(s), length, and destination, and by family, peers, and advisors. This study examined data from 1,807 students at a U.S. university who participated in faculty-led, exchange, or provider programs over three years. We described students’ personal characteristics, influences on going abroad, value derived, and perceptions of safety. Statistically significant relationships between program type and participant characteristics were found. Principal influencers on students’ pursuit of global experiences included the study abroad website, faculty members, and former student participants. Their perceived value of study abroad was high. Participants believed their experience was a good investment and would recommend it to others. These results may assist education abroad professionals in their engagement with various student populations to encourage and enable global experiences.

Estos resultados pueden ayudar a los profesionales de la educación en el extranjero en su compromiso con diversas poblaciones estudiantiles para fomentar y permitir experiencias globales.
Development of a U.S.-Scottish Immersion Experience and Its Influence on Participants, Partners, and Programs: An International Case Study
Authors: Powell Karsten , Darling-McQuistan Kirsten , Battalio Rosemary
Published: April 2024

This study explores how a long-running, special education teacher education-focused international immersion experience has grown over time to include robust international exchange between home and host institutions and how participation influenced past participants’ professional practice. This research fills a gap in the research linking special education teacher preparation and international immersion experiences by focusing on a twenty-year-old immersion program which places preservice special education teachers in Scotland for a five-week experience including a homestay, school-based practicum, and travel. Researchers included two groups for this multiple case study design: Scottish school partners and preservice U.S. teacher participants. Interviews and reflections from each group were analyzed using the Relational-Cultural Theory framework to understand how this program grew and led to mutually beneficial partner and participant exchanges. Findings indicate that trusting relationships emanating from long-term interactions are key for meaningful exchange and that participation in the 2019 program influenced current teachers’ professional decisions and trajectory.

Abstract in Spanish
Utilizando un enfoque de estudio de caso, este estudio examinó el papel que las nociones espacializadas de raza y sentido de pertenencia tuvieron en 10 estudiantes negros de una institución predominantemente blanca, en una experiencia de estudio diaspórico en el extranjero en Cuba. En particular, este estudio exploró cómo se situaba la raza en el programa de estudios en el extranjero (espacio) y en Cuba (lugar) y cómo impactaba el sentido de pertenencia de los estudiantes negros. Los hallazgos indicaron que la ubicación y el contenido de la experiencia de estudiar en el extranjero, junto con la composición del grupo del viaje, crearon un sentido positivo de pertenencia para los estudiantes negros. Específicamente, los temas que surgieron incluyen Espacios racializados: conexión con la negritud en el programa y Lugares racializados: conexión con la negritud en el destino. Este estudio respalda la importancia de diseñar programas intencionales que puedan construir una comunidad y un sentido de pertenencia para los estudiantes negros en el extranjero.

Published: April 2024

Perusahaan Tambang Bukit Asam merupakan perusahaan yang bergerak dalam industri energi yang berbasis pertambangan batubara. PT Bukit Asam merupakan tambang batubara terbuka, dimana kegiatan produksi tambang terbuka selalu berkaitan dengan kestabilan lereng. Pit Suban Jeriji Selatan merupakan salah satu area tambang di PT Bukit Asam yang memiliki bidang diskontinuitas yang terletak di highwall. Adanya bidang diskontinuitas yang berupa rekahan atau patahan pada lereng dapat menyebabkan tingkat kestabilan menurun, terutama pada lereng yang sejajar dengan patahan. Hal tersebut dapat menjadikan lereng rawan longsor. Namun hal ini tidak menutup kemungkinan bahwa lereng yang sejajar patahan dapat memiliki keamanan yang stabil. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan lereng yang stabil terhadap patahan dengan melakukan simulasi pemodelan design berdasarkan overall slope dan geometri. Metode penelitian menggunakan simulasi pemodelan lereng dengan menggunakan software rocscience slide. Pada lokasi penelitian terdiri dari 12 lapisan batuan serta struktur sesar dengan bidang N 220o E/55o dan gores garis 80o yang merupakan sesar turun. Design lereng No.8 memiliki nilai FK yang paling tinggi yaitu 1,398, sedangkan design lereng No.5 memiliki nilai FK terendah yaitu 0,764. Design No.8 dengan nilai FK 1,398 overall slope 16,4o dan design No.10 dengan nilai FK 1,229 overall slope 17,9o merupakan model yang memiliki nilai stabil dan menjadi rekomendasi dalam perencanaan tambang pada Pit Suban Jeriji Selatan. Hasil pemodelan menunjukkan nilai overall slope di atas 18o memiliki FK yang kritis dan tidak stabil, sedangkan overall slope di bawah 18o memiliki nilai FK yang stabil.
