Authors: Ahmad Norashikin , Daud Sity , Yusoff Anis Yusal
Published: November 2021

This study is an assessment of the effectiveness of the Inspector Cadet Police Basic
Training Programme on the practice of integrity as a result of the implementation
of the Royal Malaysian Police (RMP) Integrity Plan. The training programme is aimed at creating senior police officers who practice good governance iorder to improve the quality of service delivery and management as well as to create an excellent image of RMP. The RMP’s commitment to upholding integrity has been proven by management improvements through the implementation of some initiatives such as the establishment of the Department of Integrity andStandard Compliance and the implementation of the RMP Integrity Plan, and the implementation of the Enforcement Agency Integrity Module in the RMP training module. This descriptive study uses a qualitative approach based on a structured design of a case study. Primary data were obtained through a semistructured interview method with eight informants selected through purposive sampling techniques and supported by secondary data through document analysis and library research. The findings show that the training module has been a dominant influence and the main catalyst for the practice of integrity, apart from
workplace environment and family as new findings. The study concludes that the
implementation of the integrity learning module in the Police Basic Training
Programme has provided the knowledge and skills towards the inculcation of
integrity but somehow officers can still be influenced by work environment and
family factors.
Rent-seeking Practices in the Housing Development Approval Process
Authors: Abdul-Aziz Abdul-Rashid , Ali Suhaila
Published: November 2021

The lengthy, uncertain and onerous planning approval process in various countries
around the world has prompted frustrated housing developers to seek influence by
paying off approving officials. A research was conducted in Malaysia to investigate
in greater detail this rent-seeking phenomenon by asking six fundamental
questions. Rich data were obtained by interviewing 22 housing developers and
consultants who work for them. Developers engage in rent-seeking behaviours to
overcome genuine and artificial hurdles when applying for development approval.
All approving agencies, though not all their staff, reciprocate to such behaviours.
The monetary value of the payoffs depend on the rank of the public actor and
project features. The higher the office holder is, the larger is the expected pay-off.
Big and complex development projects in urban centres have a higher pay-off tag.
Low value items television sets and car repairs serve to support normal lifestyle
whereas high value items such as golfing and holiday trips support lavish lifestyle.
Establishing good rapport is a prerequisite to the rent seeking and giving exchange.
Elements which help foster reciprocity by state actors to housing developers’ rentseeking behaviours include low civil servant salary and high living cost, and weak
punitive action. Common ethnicity facilitates nuanced communication by the latter,
but common religion may dampen the former’s enthusiasm to accept any payoffs. Eventually house buyers and the general public are the casualties by virtue of
higher house prices and substandard infrastructure. Given the combination of
inherent features of the planning system and certain elements that impinge on state
actors both of which promote rent-seeking practices, a realistic law enforcement
solution is to prioritise illicit market-state exchanges involving grossly distorting
rent extraction and pecuniary rewards of significant magnitude rather than total
eradication of the practice.

In Malaysia, most of the studies conducted on the effects of increase in fuel prices have focused on a group of people who have a regular monthly income. Little attention is given to the younger generation without income, especially among students in higher education. Malaysian students are also among the highest group of people who make daily trips. The increase in fuel prices has also increased the daily cost of students and can affect their daily commute. This study aims to examine the specific effects of the increase in the prices of fuel on the travel patterns of young people in higher education institutions. A total of 596 respondents among university students were involved in this study, which selected randomly from public and private universities in Malaysia. By focusing on the patterns of travel before and after the increase in fuel prices, the respondents were asked to fill out a questionnaire related to their weekly trip activities. From the survey conducted, there are variations in the choice of transport mode for educational purposes and personal activities of the respondents. Among the preferred mode of transport include driving cars, riding bikes, walking and taking public services. However, the highest mode of transport of the movement of respondents from residential areas to campus based on the weekly frequencies are walking and driving cars. Whereas, for personal purposes, students are most likely to prefer driving cars. Research shows, the rise in fuel prices do not provide a significant change to the travel patterns of the respondents. However, slight changes in the pattern of respondents’ travel have occurred, such as the reduction in the frequency of personal vehicle used and the increase in the frequency of sharing the vehicle.

Published: November 2021

The market of software for automating the processes of mining enterprises is represented by foreign solutions, which increases the dependence of Kazakhstani enterprises on third-party developers. The marketing strategy for promoting the domestic software product focus on conquering the market segment and increasing competitiveness.The study aims to develop a marketing strategy for promoting the national cloud service “3D-quarry” as a SaaS, taking into account the modern development of Kazakhstan and the globalization of the world’s economy. When writing the matrix of strategic analysis, an analysis of pricing models was used. The possibility of using various measures to promote the service was assessed. A marketing strategy for promoting software for subsoil use is proposed, including tactics of online and offline marketing. The choice of a pricing model for a SaaS product for specialized universities and small design organizations is substantiated. Within the SaaS framework, a set of indicators for evaluating the effectiveness of a marketing strategy is proposed. A comparative analysis of the payback period of the project when using different tariff plans is carried out. Planning horizon – 3 years, planned market share – 5%, conversion rate – 1%, expected payback period – 4.4 years.The developed pricing policy allows obtaining competitive advantages in comparison with the main representatives of the software market: in the segment of small design organizations – at the expense of an acceptable price, in the segment of educational institutions – at the expense of the freemium pricing model.
Acknowledgment The study was carried out within the framework of the grant of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the topic IRN AP09561619 “Development of the core of the web service “3D-quarry”.
Increased treatment adherence in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease when using a fixed triple combination
Authors: Bolotova E. V. , Dudnikova A. V. , Shulzhenko L. V.
Published: November 2021

Introduction. Poor medication adherence significantly increases the likelihood of complications, which leads to a decrease in quality of life (QoL) in patients and an increase in treatment costs.

Goal. To study the adherence and effectiveness of treatment in COPD patients (group D) using a fixed triple combination of vilanterol/umeclidinium bromide/fluticasone furoate (FF/UMEC/VI).

Material and methods. The study included 26 male patients with severe COPD with frequent exacerbations (group D). All patients were recommended therapy with a fixed triple combination of vilanterol/umeclidinium bromide/fluticasone furoate (FF/UMEC/VI). Patients were monitored for 12 months, and the following endpoints were recorded: hospitalization due to exacerbation of COPD, progression of COPD (decrease in FEV1), and death of the patient. In addition, the dynamics of treatment adherence, the number of SAT test scores, and the level of depression on the Beck scale were evaluated.

Results. After 6 months of taking a fixed triple combination of FF/UMEC/VI, there was an improvement in treatment adherence in the form of a 15.3% decrease in the proportion of non-committed patients with COPD and an increase in the proportion of patients committed to therapy by 7.7%; the average frequency of exacerbations significantly decreased, this dynamics remained by the 12th month of follow-up. After 12 months, patients with COPD showed a statistically significant decrease in the proportion of patients who were not committed to treatment and a statistically significant increase in the proportion of patients who were committed to treatment for COPD; there was a statistically significant decrease in the frequency of severe depression in COPD patients; there was a statistically significant decrease in the proportion of patients with severe and moderate COPD influence on the quality of life.

Conclusion. The results of our study confirmed the view that adherence plays a significant role in the effectiveness of treatment of COPD patients, and the use of a fixed triple combination of FF/UMEC/VI helps to increase it.
Pharmacotherapeutic strategy for COPD patients: focus on dual bronchodilators
Authors: Sinopalnikov A. I.
Published: November 2021

For two decades, the GOLD Initiative has consistently identified the use of bronchodilators as a priority in the pharmacotherapeutic strategy for COPD. The authors of international and national clinical guidelines consider fixed combinations of long-acting beta2-agonists (LABAs) and long-acting muscarinic receptor antagonists (LAMAs) as “first-line” drugs in most patients with COPD. Numerous clinical studies have shown that fixed LABAs/LAMAs combinations provide optimal bronchodilation and play a paramount role in preventing exacerbations of COPD. Outperforming placebo and active controls, LABAs, LAMAs, inhaled glucocorticosteroids (ICS)/LABAs combination bronchodilators may differ in their therapeutic potential. The available evidence base currently does not allow to make an unambiguous choice in favor of one or another fixed LABAs/ LAMAs combination. With the appearance of “triple” combinations (ICS/LABAs/LAMAs) on the pharmaceutical market, the issue of their comparison with “dual” bronchodilators has become particularly acute. Currently available data suggest that the use of “triple” therapy is not considered as a starting treatment option for COPD and is appropriate only in a subgroup of patients with a higher baseline risk of exacerbations: in the presence of a history of exacerbations ≥ 1, which required prescription of systemic antibiotics and/or glucocorticosteroids, or necessitated hospitalization during the previous year. Thus, ICS-containing therapy is justified only in cases of recurrent exacerbations of moderate COPD or single episodes of severe exacerbations, despite the continued administration of LABAs/LAMAs, as well as in certain categories of patients whose inflammatory profile suggests a “response” to ICS.
Combined therapy with inhaled glucocorticosteroids and long-acting β2-agonists in patients with bronchial asthma: the problem of choice
Authors: Sinopalnikov A. I.
Published: November 2021

Bronchial asthma remains one of the most common chronic respiratory diseases. The apparent heterogeneity of BA underlies the concept of phenotype-specific or patient-centered therapy. However, in real clinical practice, BA continues to be regarded as a rather homogeneous pathological condition and its treatment in the vast majority of cases retains an empirical approach, the basis of which are inhaled glucocorticosteroids, usually in combination with long-acting beta2-agonists. Since this group of drugs is very representative, the physician is faced with the question of choosing the optimal drug. The basis of evidence-based medicine is a hierarchical classification, where systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and randomized clinical trials are considered the highest level of evidence. Because randomized clinical trials are conducted in carefully selected highly selected patient populations, they have little relevance to patients encountered in everyday clinical practice. In contrast, pragmatic randomized clinical trials assess the clinical efficacy of the investigational agent in a large, unselected population in which patients with comorbidities are included. In this context, the Salford Lung Study (SLS) is of particular interest. It was conducted before the registration of a new combination drug containing the modern ICS fluticasone furoate and the long-acting beta2-agonist vilanterol. The SLS results indicated not only that the use of fluticasone furoate with vilanterol provides better control of BA compared to continued "conventional therapy" (ICS ± LABAs) in symptomatic patients, but also leads to a consistent improvement in the surrogate parameters of quality of life.

Authors: Abomah Peter Worlanyo
Published: November 2021

The study assessed the parenting style and gender influence on the career choice of undergraduate students of a private tertiary institution in Accra Ghana. A Cluster sampling technique was employed to collect data. A sample size of 160 respondents, made up of 62 males and 98 females of the Methodist University College, participated in this study. Standardised questionnaires were used to collect data from respondents. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression techniques in SPSS were applied to test the hypotheses of the study. The findings indicated that parenting styles reliably predict career choices among both male and female undergraduates. Democratic and strict parenting styles had a positive and significant influence on career choice. Gender difference had a negative influence on career choice. Permissive parenting style, uninvolved-neglectful parenting style, educational level of students, and age of students were statistically insignificant on career choice of students.
Field Survey of Dietary Supplements and Foods with Probiotics Added – Annotation of USA Label Compliance
Authors: Tanaka Tsukasa Jonathan
Published: November 2021

As US regulatory framework lays the foundation of safety aspects and the efficacy of clinical effects of food products, specifically dietary supplement products, the reality of regulatory compliance is not well understood. Especially, live microorganisms as dietary supplements have many challenges in label compliance due to the unclear regulatory framework, but also due to the complexity of such living organisms. Field surveys were conducted in Southern California, USA (specifically in the Orange County and Los Angeles County regions) at local retailers or online from January 2019 to April 2021. Dietary supplements and food categories that included probiotics specifically into formula were assessed for label compliance and ingredient safety through manual annotations and curation of information. The data were observed and documented statistically. Eighty (80) unique products were collected where the number of probiotic strains ranged from 34 to 1 strain. Thirty-three (33) unique statement of identity were recorded, range of violations were maximum 9 to minimum 0. Violations were checked against the US label compliance per Chapter 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) in food and dietary supplement label compliance regulations. Eighty-one (81) unique probiotics were observed where 33 were not confirmed of GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status, and 6 had no NDI (new dietary ingredient) status. Most labels were not in compliance with all the regulatory nuances that were found. Although most probiotics were only listed on the species level, it is still a topic worthwhile the discussion of increasing regulatory awareness to the industry. Non-compliance with labels could be mitigated by such educational outreach.
Plant Based Natural Products as Quorum Sensing Inhibitors in E. Coli: A
Critical Review
Authors: Cardiliya A.P. , Selvaraj A. , Nanjan M.J. , Chandrasekar M.J.N.
Published: November 2021

:

The existence of multidrug–resistant (MDR) E. coli (superbugs) is a global health issue
confronting humans, livestock, food processing units, and pharmaceutical industries. The quorum
sensing (QS) controlling ability of the E. coli to form biofilms has become one of the important reasons
for the emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens. Quorum signaling activation and formation
of biofilm lead to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance of the pathogens increasing the therapy
difficult for treating bacterial diseases. There is a crucial need, therefore, to reinforce newer therapeutic
designs to overcome this resistance. As the infections caused by E. coli are attributed via the QSregulated
biofilm formation, easing this system by QS inhibitors is a possible strategy for treating bacterial
diseases. Plant based natural products have been reported to bind to QS receptors and interrupt
the QS systems of pathogens by inhibiting biofilm formation and disrupting the formed biofilms, thus
minimizing the chances to develop a resistance mechanism. The present report reviews critically the
QS capability of E. coli to form biofilms leading to multidrug resistant pathogens and the investigations
that have been carried out so far on plant acquired natural products as QS inhibitors.

Authors: Dang-Thi-Mai Khue , Le-Dong Nhat-Nam , Bui-Diem Khue , Vu-Tran-Thien Quan , Nguyen-Nhu Vinh , Duong-Quy Sy
Published: November 2021

Objective:

The aim of the present study was to measure the correlation between the level
of exhaled Nitric Oxide (NO) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) severity and to evaluate its
modification after Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) treatment in severe OSA patients.

Methods:

It was a descriptive and cross-sectional study. Subjects were classified by mild-moderate
or severe OSA. CPAP was used for severe OSA patients and followed up for 3 months. Exhaled
NO was measured in the morning after the previous night of Respiratory Polygraphy (RPG) recording.

Results:

This study recruited 123 subjects, including 40 mild-moderate and 83 severe OSA patients.
The level of maximum bronchial NO production (J’awNO) in patients with severe OSA was
significantly higher than mild-moderate OSA [36.2 (6.1–92.2) vs. 19.6 (1.6-73.0) ppb; p=0.001)].
The level of concentration of NO in the gas phase of the alveolar (CANO) in patients with severe
OSA was lower than mild-moderate OSA [5.2 (1.2-12.7) vs. 6.9 (0.8-14.0) ppb; p=0.002). The total
flux of NO in the conducting airway compartment (J’awNO) and CANO were correlated with
an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) (rho=0.25 and p=0.02; rho= 0.18 and p=0.04, respectively). There
was a weak significant correlation between J’awNO and nadir SpO2 in patients with OSA (rho =
-0.22 and p= 0.023). After 3-month treatment with CPAP, the level of J’awNO was significantly reduced
in patients with severe OSA [23.4 (12.9-44.5) vs. 33.1 (21.2-55.0); p<0.001.

Conclusion:

J’awNO is proportionally increased in patients with severe OSA and reduced after
treatment with CPAP. Thus, J’awNO may be used as a relevant and surrogate biomarker of severe
OSA.
Vaccination Coverage: Vaccine-Related Determinants & Anthropometric
Measures in Children Resident in a Rural Community in Nigeria
Authors: Ignis Iribhogbe Osede , Tomini Sonila
Published: November 2021

Background:

Vaccination of children has played a significant role in reducing early
childhood morbidity and mortality from vaccine-preventable diseases; however, some factors act
as deterrents in achieving adequate coverage in this susceptible population.

Aims & Objectives:

The study, therefore, aimed to identify vaccine-related determinants of childhood
vaccination as well as determine the relationship between childhood vaccination status and
body weight, height, and a child’s body mass index (BMI).

Methods:

The study was conducted using a cross-sectional design in which 608 caregiver-child
pair was recruited sequentially by using a two-stage sampling technique. Structured questionnaires
based on the SAGE vaccine hesitancy model were used to interview the participants. Elicited data
was analyzed and categorical variables were presented in tables and charts as frequencies, while a
chi-square test was used to test the association between the independent and dependent variables.
Pearson’s correlation analysis was also done to determine the correlation between vaccination status
and weight, height, and BMI of children.

Result:

The study showed that vaccination coverage was suboptimal (70.56%) in children and
was below the expected target of 80%. Although a few (183, 30.10%) of the respondents claimed
they would prevent the vaccination of their children due to the fear of needles, the majority
(87.50%) will be willing to accept more vaccine doses for their children if there were no pain.
While factors such as the experience of adverse reaction (X2 = 13.22, df = 2, p<0.001), crying from
pain (X2 = 11.33, df = 2, p<0.001) and the scientific evidence of safety (X2 = 34.63, df = 2,
p<0.001) were significantly associated with a complete vaccination status, vaccination status was
positively correlated with the weight (r=0.160, p<0.001), height (r=0.081, p=0.023) and BMI
(r=0.214, p<0.001) of children in the rural community.

Conclusion:

Vaccination uptake and coverage can be significantly improved in children by designing
and implementing interventional programs that target pharmaceutical and vaccine-specific factors
acting as barriers in these rural communities.
The role of pragmatics in cross-cultural
Authors: Chemmel Uno , Phillipe Roger
Published: November 2021

We here try to find out the role of pragmatics in the cross-cultural contexts. Pragmatics is the way we convey meaning through communication (Deda, 2013). Other factors beyond competence are the adjustments between contexts and situations that can change the ordinary meaning of elements/sentences according to the language situation. The culture of an organization decides the way employees behave amongst themselves as well as the people outside the organization. Pragmatic culture more emphasis is placed on the clients and the external parties. Customer satisfaction is the main motive of the employees in a pragmatic culture. In linguistics, pragmatic competence is the ability to use language effectively in a contextually appropriate fashion. Pragmatic competence is a fundamental aspect of a more general communicative competence.

Archetypes in Biak folktales: characters, symbols, and concepts
Authors: Fatubun Reimundus R.
Published: November 2021

Characters, symbols, concepts, patterns, ideas, images, and many more are similar across the globe. This is because people are similar around the world to put it simply. But to put it in a more sophisticated way, these similarities are there because all human ancestors originated from the same place i. e Africa and later spread all around the globe together with the unconscious patterns of images, ideas, etc. inherited in their genes and universally present in individual psyches. These similarities in characters, symbols, concepts, patterns, and others are called archetypes. Using archetypal criticism, this article will present a number of archetypal characters, archetypal symbols, and archetypal concepts found in the Biak (in Papua) folk stories with discussions of similar characters, symbols, and concepts from around the globe. One very famous example of archetypal character in the Biak stories is Manarmakeri in the Manarmakeri myth with the famous archetypal symbol which found its way to be in the ‘Bintang Kejora’ (the Morning Star) flag of the Papua Freedom Movement called Sampari (also Makmeser), and the archetypal concept of a bountiful era, like Eden, called Koreri still sought for until today.

Man and nature is a unity between body and individual in behavior. Humans are liberty, creative, happy subjects in behavior and labor. By behavior and labor, humans produce tools, spare parts, machines, and robots to replace internal organs, lengthen the senses, and lengthen defective body parts. Evolution is no longer a mutation in the body but the assembly of accessories into organs, senses, and body parts when needed. People use devices that are manufactured to be used for what people want depending on specific conditions and circumstances. Labor and behavior make objectification of people, but alienated behavior and alienated labor make humanize the object. The time to enjoy liberty, creativity, and happiness is human, and the time to perform alienated behavior and alienated labor is the time to live for the non-human. People are corrupted into slavery to standards, money. It is the process of self-torture, torturing oneself; and the nobility of standards, the wealth of money is the unhappy product of life. Humans are liberty, creative and happy subjects; alienated human beings are all helpless, unhappy, deceit. Money, standards are products of helplessness, unhappiness, lies. Standards, money remove people from life.
linguistic impact of coronavirus on online service offers in Spain as well as France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and the UK
Authors: Grzega Joachim
Published: November 2021

Service offers from online platforms in Spain, Germany, Italy, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and the UK since the COVID-19-related lockdowns in March 2020 are analyzed and related to classical pragmatic nomenclatures. As a result, COVID-19-related lexemes are used particularly in Spain, hardly in the Netherlands, and to a medium degree in Germany, France, Italy, and the UK. Often, such phrases are expressive/phatic, occasionally with an appeal to pity, just to promote positive connotations, not adding anything to the nature of the service. COVID-related lexemes are used, albeit rarely, to say that there is something positive in the crisis. More frequently, these lexemes are employed, in Spain, Germany, and Italy, to explain the motivation for the service offer. In all countries, the lexemes are (semantically superfluously?) used to say that the service offered is free from danger (sometimes being pseudo-assertive). In Spain, covid-lexemes are very typically used to show that the service supplier is free from danger (even in headlines and first sentences), in various kinds of wordings, which mostly do not support the pretended message from a strictly medical point of view: beyond classical terminology, such cases could be termed jargon-related conventional pseudo-implications.
importance of speaking in English as a foreign language between skillful and thoughtful competencies: studying sociolinguistics perspectives
Authors: Sudarmo Sudarmo
Published: November 2021

Speaking in a foreign language requires competence in the language skills itself and mindfulness so that the content of the speech is easier to reach and by the interlocutor. To understand the relationship between skillful and thoughtful in speaking English, we conducted a series of data collection with the help of an electronic engine based on Google Scholar data. We target these data in several international journal publications that discuss these two variables. After the data has been collected, it is then analyzed by involving a coding system and in-depth evaluation under a descriptive qualitative study. Before drawing data conclusions, we ensure that the data results meet reasonable and reliable standards. Based on the discussion of the findings, we can conclude that speaking in English as a foreign language requires skillful and thoughtful competence so that the interlocutor can easily understand the contents of the conversation. Thus, this finding should be a meaningful input for many parties in learning English.

Published: November 2021

The paper deals with the inaugural speeches of Vladimir Putin (2018) and Donald Trump (2017) and is aimed at analyzing the role of verbal means in forming the speech portraits of political leaders. The article is of urgent interest as it demonstrates the speech portraits of country leaders in relation to national identity, mentality and socio-political course of the country. By means of comparative content analysis we looked for grammatical, lexical and stylistic elements peculiar to a specific linguistic persona while comparing the speeches of the presidents as well as we attempted to determine the specific national backgrounds of political discourse. Thus, each president’s inauguration context model is mostly characterized by a different set of linguistic means. The paper findings may be useful for researchers who deal with interdisciplinary studies, political and cognitive linguistics, political discourse and communication analysis.

For this reason, we have searched literature from several well-known journals. Next, we analyzed the literature to find data that could answer the questions of this study as much as possible. The data study starts with a coding system study and a specific evaluation to answer study questions with high validity elements. The journals we have visited include Google Books, Elsevier, Academic docs, and other publishers published ten years ago. Based on the discussion data, we can conclude that there is a very close relevance between the history of the Indonesian nation and the progress of civilization in the archipelago, which is now dominated by the influence of Islamic civilization and westernization. We hope this finding is helpful for future studies of Indonesian historical literature and civilization.

The Second Transbaikal Ecclesiastical Mission significantly changed the situation with the spread of Orthodoxy among the indigenous population of the region – the Buryats, who, for the most part, were adherents of the northern branch of Buddhism – Lamaism. Its activities also had a significant impact on the Old Believer population of the region. The paper analyses the features of the activities of the Orthodox monasteries of Transbaikal, carried out by them within the framework of the missionary work of the second Transbaikal Ecclesiastical Mission, which in many ways changed the situation with Orthodoxy in the region. The mission began its work in 1861 (according to other sources, in 1862) and focused its activities on spreading Orthodoxy among the local Buryat population, predominantly Lamaists, and Old Believers. The author notes that this subject matter is understudied. At the same time, references are made to some archival documents. The result of the study was the conclusion that the Orthodox monasteries of the region quite actively took part in missionary activities.
