The Influence of Organizational Commitment and Leadership Style Factors through Knowledge Sharing on The Performance of Employees of The State Civil Apparatus in The Investment and One-Door Integrated Services Office in East Luwu Regency
Authors: Amiruddin Amiruddin , Muis Mahlia , Rasyid Wahda
Published: October 2020

Improving the quality of government services in the era of globalization and digitalization is a demand for the State Civil Apparatus (SCA) to improve its performance. Employee performance is influenced by several factors such as organizational commitment, leadership style, and knowledge sharing. However, the phenomenon that exists in the field today is that the efforts made in building a sense of organization commitment, leadership style, and knowledge sharing of each SCA have not been maximized. This also happened at the Investment and One-Door Integrated Services Office (IODISO) of East Luwu Regency. For this reason, this research is expected to be able to provide solutions to the relevant agencies in improving employee performance. The three factors that have been mentioned are then measured using a questionnaire with question items in the form of a Likert scale that is submitted to each respondent. So the data obtained in the form of quantitative data. This data is then analyzed using path analysis. The analysis showed that organizational commitment and leadership style had a direct positive influence on knowledge sharing significantly. Then organizational commitment, leadership style, and knowledge sharing also have a positive direct effect on employee performance. Whereas organizational commitment and leadership style have an indirect positive influence through knowledge sharing on employee performance. This organizational commitment, leadership style, and knowledge sharing contributed to an influence of 92.1% on employee performance.

Published: October 2020

This study aims to determine the extent of the loyalty of prospective pilgrims (costumer) to travel Umrah and Hajj in Makassar using price as an independent variable and trust as a mediating variable. This research is mixed-method research using questionnaires to 30 respondents and FGD in Meida Wisata company as one of the Umrah and Hajj travel companies in Makassar. Based on the results of data analysis, it is found that the price offered by PT. Meida Wisata has a negative but not significant impact on the loyalty of pilgrims, but the current price will have a significant positive effect on the loyalty of pilgrims and registrants if mediated by the variable of trust. The Covid-19 pandemic that occurred at this time did not reduce the enthusiasm of Umrah tourism consumers to continue to wait for the announcement from Saudi Arabia to receive Umrah pilgrims from Indonesia again and hope that the Covid-19 outbreak will soon end so that they can carry out Umrah through PT. Meida Wisata. There are still limitations in this study that can be continued by other researchers by increasing the number of respondents to get more general information.

Reassessing the Reasons of Democracy Deficit in the Middle East Through the Role of Islam
Authors: KARATAŞ İbrahim
Published: October 2020

There has been a large number of challenges to undemocratic regimes of the Middle East by their populations due to the ban on their participation to the decision-making process. Among many factors, Islamic faith and legislation are regarded to have more role in political conflicts than others. Particularly, the idea that Islam and democracy are not compatible with each other has prevailed and led to other reasons to be ignored in debates. This study analyzes the reasons for democracy deficit in the region such as insecure circumstances that enable governments to abandon basic human and political rights, hydrocarbon revenues that make regimes non-dependent to populations, tribalism which is inherent to traditional Middle Eastern politics, the lack of civil society and the Islam effect. The study asserts that the role of Islam is unfairly exaggerated since it does not offer a certain political system. Besides, such approaches also mean underestimating the magnitude of the damages other reasons cause. By analyzing the impact of Islam on governance, its use as a tool by political and anti-political Islamists as well as its compliance with democracy, this research aims to reveal to what extent Islam can be attributed to democracy deficit of the region.
On Forms of Justification in Set Theory
Authors: Barton Neil , Ternullo Claudio , Venturi Giorgio
Published: October 2020

In the contemporary philosophy of set theory, discussion of new axiomsthat purport to resolve independence necessitates an explanation of howthey come to bejustified. Ordinarily, justification is divided into two broadkinds:intrinsicjustification relates to how ‘intuitively plausible’ an axiomis, whereasextrinsicjustification supports an axiom by identifying certain‘desirable’ consequences. This paper puts pressure on how this distinctionis formulated and construed. In particular, we argue that the distinction asoften presented is neitherwell-demarcatednor sufficientlyprecise. Instead, wesuggest that the process of justification in set theory should not be thoughtof as neatly divisible in this way, but should rather be understood as a con-ceptually indivisible notion linked to the goal ofexplanation.

Published: October 2020

© 2014 IEEE.This paper demonstrates a framework for a digital heritage research, Augmenting Kashgar, that facilitates the revitalizing of a historical architecture by using gamification, shape grammars and virtual reality. Examining current use of new media technologies, our methodology initially merges shape grammars, a generative modelling method, with gamification. It then extends the use of game elements into virtual reality in which the synthesizing of the old culture with a new one is the main accomplishment being sought. Firstly, gamification maps a community engagement plan while shape grammars serve for spatial analysis of the narrow alleys of Kashgar. Secondly, the gamified platform transitions from screen-based experience to immersive virtual reality interpretations.

Preliminary Amplification Studies of Some Sites using Different Earthquake Motions
Authors: Bhutani Manish , Naval Sanjeev
Published: October 2020

Stability of infrastructure during earthquakes demands ground response analysis to be carried out for a particular region as the ground surface may suffer from amplified Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) as compared to bedrock PGA causing instability. Many studies have been carried out the world over using different techniques but very few studies have been carried out for the northern part of India, Punjab situated at latitude of 31.326° N and longitude of 75.576° E, which is highly seismic and lies in seismic zone IV as per IS:1893-2016. In this paper 1-D equivalent non-linear ground response analysis has been conducted for sixteen sites of Jalandhar region, Punjab (India) by using five earthquake motions. Input ground motions are selected from the worldwide-recorded database based on the seismicity of the region. Based on the average SPT-N values, all the sites have been classified as per the guidelines of National Earthquake Hazard Reduction program (NEHRP). Shear modulus (G) was calculated using correlation between G and SPT–N Value. The ground surface PGA varies from 0.128 to 0.292 g for the sites of Jalandhar region with Amplification Factor values varying from 1.08 to 2.01. Hence the present study will be useful to the structural designers as an input towards suitable earthquake resistant design of structures for similar sites.

Published: October 2020

A gestão dos custos é fundamental para contribuir com o bom gerenciamento da atividade leiteira e pode contribuir para que melhores resultados econômicos para propriedades leiteiras familiares sejam alcançados. Este estudo teve por objetivo analisar os custos de produção de uma propriedade familiar produtora de leite e verificar a contribuição da pecuária leiteira para o desenvolvimento econômico para produtores familiares. Foi realizada uma pesquisa quantitativa e descritiva, configurada como estudo de caso em uma propriedade leiteira situada no sul do Estado de Minas Gerais para analisar questões relacionadas aos custos de produção e resultados econômicos da atividade com dados coletados entre os anos de 2010 e 2017. A produção de leite da propriedade esteve a maior parte dos anos abaixo do ponto de equilíbrio. As receitas da atividade não foram capazes de remunerar o custo operacional total (COT) e o custo total (CT) na maioria dos anos analisados. Contudo, os resultados sugerem que a gestão dos custos da propriedade analisada está se desenvolvendo, pois os resultados econômicos dos últimos anos foram melhores que aqueles obtidos nos primeiros anos da pesquisa. A pecuária leiteira se mostrou como uma importante fonte geradora de riqueza e renda para produtores de leite familiares.

Management of costs in a family milk property of south of Minas Gerais
Abstract
Cost management is fundamental to contribute to the good management of dairy farming and can contribute to achieving better economic results for family dairy farms. This study aimed to analyze the production costs of a family farm producing milk and to verify the contribution of dairy farming to the economic development for family farmers. A quantitative and descriptive research was carried out, configured as a case study in a dairy property located in the south of the State of Minas Gerais to analyze issues related to production costs and economic results of the activity with data collected between the years 2010 and 2017. A Most of the years' milk production has been below break-even point. The activity's revenues were not able to remunerate the total operational cost (COT) and the total cost (CT) in most of the years analyzed. However, the results suggest that the management of the costs of the analyzed property is developing, since the economic results of the last years were better than those obtained in the first years of the research. Dairy farming proved to be an important source of wealth and income for family milk producers.

PHYSICAL CIVIC ISSUES TRACKING UTILITY
Authors: Dias G.K.A. , Wakista G. W.
Published: October 2020

Sri Lanka’s economy is in a critical juncture and it is now in a stage transition to middle income economy. Still there are so many infrastructure facilities that have to be developed not only in villages but also in cities.

Due to the lack of infrastructure facilities there are so many physical civic issues still prevail in the society. Most importantly people don’t have a proper mechanism to report these physical civic issues to the relevant authorities to get those issues fixed as the mechanism which is prevailing is outdated. Therefore there should be a proper mechanism to report the civic issues in a city or a village and monitor the solution process after directing the issue to the relevant authority. It makes the lives of the citizens much comfortable and happier. This proposed system will be a novel solution for the outdated reporting methods. A survey was done to gather the requirements for the system. This proposed solution will encourage the citizens to perform their civic duty in a more responsible manner. When the system is implemented the members of the local government can’t wait as unseen. They have to take actions for the reported issues as the entire country is in touch about the issues.

Published: October 2020

Bellucia dichotoma Cogn., conhecida como Goiaba-de-anta, é largamente utilizada na medicina popular como antiofídica. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar a caracterização química e avaliar a capacidade antioxidante de extratos do fruto dessa espécie. A metodologia consistiu no preparo dos extratos dos frutos em hexano e metanol por meio de técnicas de maceração. Foi realizado a prospecção fitoquímica qualitativa, caracterização Cromatográfica em Camada Delgada (CCD) e avaliação da atividade antioxidante qualitativa. A CCD utilizando como eluente, hexano e acetato de etila (7:3) para substâncias apolares, e clorofórmio e metanol (9:1) para polares, possibilitou a separação de substâncias reveladas com luz UV 254nm e 366nm e por vanilina sulfúrica, além de obter os valores dos Fatores de Retenção (RFs). Na análise da atividade antioxidante frente ao radical livre DPPH, observou-se resultado positivo para o extrato em metanol. Por meio da prospecção fitoquímica no extrato polar, foram detectados metabólicos secundários como antocianidinas, chalconas, leucoantocianidinas e catequinas. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que o fruto apresenta potencial terapêutico e antioxidante estimulando pesquisas futuras para a quantificação dos constituintes químicos e do aprofundamento das análises biológicas.

Published: October 2020

O artigo apresenta um estudo sobre a importância da parceria entre o Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar (PNAE) e a Agricultura Familiar a favor do desenvolvimento socioeconômico local. A pesquisa qualitativa, do tipo descritivo e exploratório, foi desenvolvida envolvendo agricultores familiares do município de Presidente Tancredo Neves/Bahia, no período de 2013 a 2015. Os resultados revelam que informação e capacitação sobre o PNAE constituem em ações necessárias para atender as demandas dos agricultores familiares, tendo em vista que boa parte deles não consegue acessá-lo por falta de conhecimento, contudo apesar do acesso ainda restrito, os resultados apontam que o mercado não é suficiente para garantir o comercio regular reflexo do reduzido percentual atribuído à agricultura familiar, fazendo com que boa parte da produção não seja comercializada.
CINEMA E RELAÇÃO COM O SABER:
Authors: ALVES RODRIGUES LUCIANA
Published: October 2020

A obra fílmica Pro dia nascer feliz, de João Jardim, é classificada como um documentário. Ela serviu de instrumento de análise ao presente estudo, por seu aporte documental e quase denunciador das intempéries educacionais brasileiras. O artigo propõe um exame teórico de autores que estudam o cinema no âmbito da produção e experiência estética, além dos que compreendem a educação e o sentido da escola como partes inerentes de uma formação humana. A correlação do cinema com a relação com o saber partiu de uma expressão teorizada por Bernard Charlot que se desenvolve a partir de um raciocínio que vai além da noção de fracasso escolar e posição social. Nesse sentido essa correlação contribuiu na análise do filme, pois este transcendeu seu caráter denunciador ao dar voz principalmente às minorias sociais.

Legitimate marriage is a dream for couples and harmony in family life, so that in Islam always depends on the ultimate goal Marriage is to get sakinah, mawaddah and warohmah. With this aim, sometimes it is wrong to place the rules of marriage only, one of them agreeing on a harmonious family but forgetting to look at the couple's religious side. The phenomenon of interfaith marriages often occurs not only in different countries but also in Indonesia, a lot of this is done.

This study aims to look at the phenomenon of interfaith marriage in a qualitative form so that the ultimate goal can be developed with special concepts to be given at specific conclusions with various updates.
Interfaith marriages often occur in Indonesian society, in marriage law No. 1 of 1974 concerning marriage clearly has a ban. Also in the Compilation of Islamic Law in Article 40 paragraph (c) and Article 44, too. The same can also be seen in the MUI Fatwa. Nevertheless, there are also some opinions of scholars who allow marriages of different religions from Muslim men and women experts of the book. In response, it is fitting to look at the social conditions of people in Indonesia who uphold religious norms, so that depending on the committee will be corrected on the understanding of specific ideas in matters of religion

Published: October 2020

Giriş: İnme, toplumdaki en sık mortalite ve morbiditeye neden olan nörolojik hastalıkların başında yer alır, risk faktörlerinin yönetimi önemlidir. Bu nedenle çalışmamızda inmedeki risk faktörlerini geçmiş ve günümüzle karşılaştırmayı amaçladık.
Yöntem: Hastanemiz nöroloji servisinde inme tanısı alarak 01.01.2019 tarihinden itibaren ilk üç ayda yatan hastalar retrospektif olarak ele alındı ve 27 yıl önce yapılan çalışmanın aynı formatında bir form hazırlandı. Yeni hastalar ‘Grup 1’; 27 yıl önceki hastalar ‘Grup 2’ olarak sınıflandırıldı.
Bulgular: Grup1’de sırasıyla HT %63,0; DM %32,1; kalp hastalığı %39,8; geçirilmiş SVH %25,5; hiperlipidemi %20,4; sigara kullanımı %17,3; alkol kullanımı %3,0 iken; Grup 2 de ise aynı sırayla bu oranlar %66,4, %34,0, %42,7 %22,7, %43,9, %33,6, %7,0’di. Hastaların risk faktörleri gruplar arasında karşılaştırıldığında sigara -alkol kullanımı ve hiperlipidemi yönünden günümüz lehine istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olarak düşme mevcuttu (p>0,05). Mortalitenin ise günümüzde geçmişe oranla azaldığı gözlendi (p<0,05).
Tartışma: İnmede risk oluşturan faktörler ve hastalıklarla mücadelenin komplikasyonları mortaliteyi azaltmada belirgin; morbiditenin pozitif yönde artmasında ise kısmen etkili olduğu düşünüldü.

The nonlocal problem with multi- point perturbations of the boundary conditions of the Sturm-type for an ordinary differential equation with involution of even order
Authors: Baranetskij Ya.O. , Kalenyuk P.I. , Kopach M. I. , Solomko A.V.
Published: October 2020

The spectral properties of the nonself-adjoint problem with multipoint perturbations of the Dirichlet conditions for differential operator of order $2n$ with involution are investigated. The system of eigenfunctions of a multipoint problem is constructed. Sufficient conditions have been established, under which this system is complete and, under some additional assumptions, forms the Riesz basis. The research is structured as follows. In section 2 we investigate the properties of the Sturm-type conditions and nonlocal problem with self-adjoint boundary conditions for the equation $$(-1)^ny^{(2n)}(x)+ a_{0}y^{(2n-1)}(x)+ a_{1}y^{(2n-1)}(1-x)=f(x),\,x\in (0,1).$$ In section 3 we study the spectral properties for nonlocal problem with nonself-adjoint boundary conditions for this equation. In sections 4 we construct a commutative group of transformation operators. Using spectral properties of multipoint problem and conditions for completeness the basis properties of the systems of eigenfunctions are established in section 5. In section 6 some analogous results are obtained for multipoint problems generated by differential equations with an involution and are proved the main theorems.
TAFSIR LITERARY ANALISIS KATA CHEREM (MENGHANCURKAN) DALAM 1 SAMUEL 15:3-11
Authors: wantalangi regen
Published: October 2020

Dalam kitab Samuel sampai pada Raja-raja narator yang dipelopori oleh kelompok Deuteronomistik mencoba menggambarkan tentang dua kerajaan yang berbeda. Dari kisa Israel menginginkan raja sampai diangkatnya Saul sebagai raja undian dan kemudian Daud yang dipilih oleh Tuhan itu sendiri. Kata yang paling mencolok dalam Samuel 15 adalah cherem dengan kata inilah narator menggambarkan ketidak taatan Saul sebagai raja dan digantikan oleh Daud sebagai raja yang diurapi Tuhan. Di dalamnya ada unsur politik narator. Namun lebih jauh dari itu sebenarnya narator ingin menggambarkan bahwa orang yang taat kepada Tuhan adalah mereka yang akan diberkati seperti raja Daud dan keturunan-keturunannya. Dalam unsur politik kepenulisan ini mengarah kepada sentralisasi pusat penyembahan kepada Yahweh di Yerusalem pada pemerintahan raja Yosia.
A quantitative exploration of the relationships between regular yoga practice, microdosing psychedelics, wellbeing and personality variables
Authors: Bright Stephen , Gringart Eyal , Blatchford Emily , Bettinson Samantha
Published: October 2020

Objective: The current study aimed to explore whether the subjective effects of microdosing psychedelics are comparable to those of yoga in relation to psychological wellbeing, depression, anxiety and stress. It also aimed to explore the relationship between yoga, microdosing and personality variables including neuroticism, openness and absorption.Method: The sample comprised 339 participants, yoga (n = 131), microdose (n = 69), microdose and yoga (n = 54) and control (n = 85). All completed an online survey concerning personality (M5-50 and Tellegen Absorption Scale), mood (Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21) and wellbeing (Ryff Scales of Psychological Wellbeing).Results: The yoga and microdosing groups scored significantly higher on psychological wellbeing and absorption than did control. The microdosing and yoga group had lower depression scores than the microdose only group, and lower anxiety scores than the yoga only group. Furthermore, the microdosing and yoga group had the highest absorption score. Openness was significantly lower in the control group than in all other groups.Conclusions: While we cannot infer that yoga and microdosing leads to increased wellbeing, openness and absorption, or to decreased depression and anxiety, the findings suggest that the subjective effects of microdosing psychedelics are comparable to those of yoga and that the combination of both might be beneficial.
Saving Science Through Replication Studies
Authors: Edlund John , Cuccolo Kelly , Irgens Megan Suzanne , Wagge Jordan Rose , Zlokovich Martha S.
Published: October 2020

The scientific enterprise has long been based on the presumption of replication, although recently scientists have become aware of various corruptions of the enterprise which have hurt replicability. In this paper, we begin by considering three illustrations of research paradigms that have all been subject to intense scrutiny through replications and theoretical concerns. The three paradigms are one for which the corpus of research points to a real finding, one for which the corpus of research points to a significantly attenuated effect, and one for which the debate is ongoing. We then discuss what scientists can learn -- and how science can be improved -- through replications more generally. From there, we discuss what we believe needs to be done to improve scientific inquiry with regard to replication moving forward. Finally, we conclude by providing readers with several different approaches to replication and how these approaches progress science. The approaches discussed include multilab replications of many effects, multilab replications of specific effects, adversarial collaborations, and stand-alone applications.
A Gibbs Sampling Algorithm with Monotonicity Constraints for Diagnostic Classification Models
Authors: Yamaguchi Kazuhiro , Templin Jonathan
Published: October 2020

Diagnostic classification models (DCMs) are restricted latent class models with a set of cross-class equality constraints and additional monotonicity constraints on their item parameters, both of which are needed to ensure the meaning of classes and model parameters. In this paper, we develop an efficient, Gibbs sampling-based Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo estimation method for general DCMs with monotonicity constraints. A simulation study was conducted to evaluate parameter recovery of the algorithm which showed accurate estimation of model parameters. Moreover, the proposed algorithm was compared to a previously developed Gibbs sampling algorithm which imposed constraints on only the main effect item parameters of the log-linear cognitive diagnosis model. The newly proposed algorithm showed less bias and faster convergence. An analysis of the 2000 Programme for International Student Assessment reading assessment data using this algorithm was also conducted.
No effect of value learning on awareness and attention for faces: Evidence from continuous flash suppression and the attentional blink
Authors: Stein Timo , Verosky Sara
Published: October 2020

It is widely believed that the emotional and motivational value of social signals, such as faces, influences perception and attention. However, effects reported for stimuli with intrinsic affective value, such as emotional facial expressions, can often be explained by differences in low-level stimulus properties. To rule out such low-level effects, here we used a value-learning procedure, in which faces were associated with different probabilities of monetary gain and loss in a choice game. In three experiments involving 149 participants we tested the influence of affective valence (win- vs. loss-associated faces) and motivational salience (probability of monetary gain or loss) on visual awareness, attention, and memory. Using continuous flash suppression and rapid serial visual presentation we found no effects of affective valence or motivational salience on visual awareness of faces. Furthermore, in two experiments there was no evidence for a modulation of the attentional blink, indicating that acquired emotional and motivational value does not influence attentional priority of faces. However, we found that motivational salience boosted recognition memory, and this effect was particularly pronounced for win-associated faces. These results indicate that acquired affective valence and motivational salience affect only later processing of faces related to memory, but do not directly affect visual awareness and attention.
The Role of Learners’ Motivation in English Language Learning at the Tertiary Level in Bangladesh
Authors: Mili Afroza
Published: October 2020

This study depicts the phenomena of learners’ motivation in English language learning at the tertiary level in our country. This study deals with whether learners are integrative or instrumental motivated. This study also focuses on which type’s motivation is effective for learners. For this study, data is collected through questionnaire from the learners at the tertiary level. The major findings of the study is that most of the learners are integrative motivated in learning English at their tertiary level. Most of the learners think integrative motivation is effective in English language learning than instrumental motivation. However, very few numbers of learners are instrumental motivated, which can be solve by understanding them about the effectiveness of integrative motivation.
The pluralism of river rights in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Colombia
Authors: Macpherson Elizabeth Jane , Ospina Felipe Clavijo
Published: October 2020

In this article we interrogate the recognition of rivers as legal persons in Aotearoa New Zealand (Whanganui River) and Colombia (Ri'o Atrato). Although the legal, political, historical and cultural context for recognition is different in each country, an analysis of the cases presents some interesting conceptual correlations, which help us to understand this emerging (and sometimes controversial) transnational idea that a river can be a person. In both cases recognising that the river is a person is an attempt to accommodate diverse legal and cultural interests in the river, in order to establish a new collaborative relationship between the state and river communities. Whether either model results in improved river outcomes, or increased indigenous or community jurisdiction to govern, turns not on the fiction that the river is a person but on the surrounding institutional framework, which has been carefully designed to engender enforceability. Thus, we argue, traditional dichotomies that draw lines between human-centred and earth-centred laws, or nature as the object versus the subject of property or rights fail to capture what legal personality entails.

Secondary angle closure glaucoma due to posterior scleritis in a case of empty sella syndrome
Authors: Mansoori Tarannum
Published: October 2020

Introduction: We frequently come upon cases of posterior scleritis with secondary angle closure glaucoma. However, it can pose a diagnostic dilemma in a patient with bilateral disc edema along with unilateral angle closure glaucoma due to posterior scleritis.

Case: We report a case of a 25 - year old male, who presented with the complaints of pain, redness and blurring of vision in the left eye for the last 3 days. On ocular examination, unaided visual acuity of the right eye was 6/6 and the best corrected in the left eye was 6/9 with - 6.25 D sphere. Apart from conjunctival congestion and shallow anterior chamber in the left eye, rest of the anterior segment evaluation in both the eyes were normal. On fundus evaluation, there was presence of disc edema in both the eyes. Intraocular pressure was 20 and 32 mm of Hg in the right and left eye respectively. Gonioscopy revealed open angles in the right eye and no visible angle structures in the left eye. B-Scan of the left eye showed a typical “T” sign suggestive of posterior scleritis. MRI brain revealed empty sella turcica.

Conclusion: Empty sella turcica has been reported to present with the bilateral disc edema which, when accompanied with other entities such as Posterior scleritis can be misleading and the diagnosis can pose to be a challenge.

Introduction: Diabetic macular edema (DME) is the leading cause of visual impairment in patients with diabetes mellitus. The objectives of the study was to figure out the effect of intravitreal injection bevacizumab on visual acuity and retinal thickness in people with DME.

Materials and methods: We observed the case records of patients with DME requiring injection Avastin (Genentech Inc., San Francisco, CA, USA) intravitreal from January to July 2016 in Mechi Eye Hospital. The eighty seven eyes of 60 patients with DME were included in the study. Inclusion criteria were determined independently of the age, metabolic control, type of diabetes mellitus, visual acuity, leakage area size,retinal thickness as measured by optical coherence tomography. All the patients were treated with 0.05 ml injection containing 1.25 mg of Avastin (Genentech Inc., San Francisco, CA, USA) after written informed consent.

Results: The mean age group was 55.86 ± 9.61 years with 47 males and 13 females. At baseline the median BCVA was 1.00 (0.60-1.30) which improved to 0.78 (0.48- 1.00) at 6 weeks (p=0.001) which further improved to 0.78 (0.48-1.00) Log MAR (p value- 0.005) at 12 weeks and 0.60 (0.43- 1.00) Log MAR at 18 weeks (p value= 0.006). Baseline mean central macular thickness (CMT) on OCT was 436.24 ± 142.2μm which decreased to 387.74±130.98μm at 6 weeks, 346.82 ±116.79 μm at 12 weeks and 307.1 ±105.49μm. Changes in VA and decrease in central subfield macular thickness during follow up visit was statistically significant (p<0.05).

Conclusion: In this study, intravitreal injection Avastin resulted in improvement in VA and decrease in retinal thickness in patients with DME.
Kontekst kulturowy a program edukacji językowo‑komunikacyjnej w L1. Głos w dyskusji
Authors: Nocoń Jolanta
Published: October 2020

The article’s theme concerns challenges encountered in the 21st century in the course of language communicative education within the scope of Polish as a native language. The author expresses conviction that socialisation process does not substitute for education, and therefore one of the paramount purposes/aims of language education within the scope of native language is to cater to the language-communicative needs of students stemming from cultural transformation taking place in the contemporary world. New tasks that a Polish language teacher needs to face are developing the so-called new communicative competency which facilitates communicative acts in media-dominated world of today, including digital media. The said tasks also involve counteracting the lowering of verbal communication standards, particularly the cases of verbal aggression and primitive vocabulary.
O zadawaniu pytań na lekcji języka polskiego. Studium przypadku
Authors: Tabisz Anna
Published: October 2020

The article presents the results of qualitative and quantitative analysis of questions asked during a single Polish language lesson. It consists of two main parts. The first presents and comments on the results of the teacher’s questions analysis, the second ‒ questions asked by students. The concept of Bogusław Skowronek was used, who distinguished four types of questions in his classification: 1) reassuring-instrumental; 2) substantive; 3) about the meta-didactic function; 4) not related to the classroom situation. The first two categories were specified in more detail by Elizabeth Perrott’s proposition, which distinguishes between guiding questions and questions for clarification among reassuring-instrumental questions, while she divides substantive questions according to the type of thought process launched during the answer and indicates lower-order and higher-order questions. The text ends with a summary containing not very optimistic conclusions.
Oral Health Literacy among Public University Undergraduate Students and Associated Factors
Authors: Jaafar A , Al-Kadhim AHA , Ab Malik N
Published: October 2020

Introduction: Oral health literacy is an essential element of an individual to make better oral health decision. Low oral health literacy (OHL) is associated with poor oral health decision and outcome. This study aimed to determine factors associated with oral health literacy among undergraduate students in one of the public universities of Malaysia. Materials and methods: This is a cross-sectional study which was undertaken among the undergraduate students of Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM). Sample selection was done randomly. A validated oral health literacy index of Malay version was used throughout the study. Ethical approval was obtained from the University Research Ethics Committee and respondents had given their consent prior to the data collection. Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS software version 24.0 and the significant level was set at p< 0.05. Results: The mean oral health literacy of the university undergraduate students was 77.7 (95% CI= 76.75, 78.71). Multiple linear regression indicated that female has higher OHL (β= 4.19; 95% CI= 1.99, 6.39; p< 0.001), social science stream has lower OHL (β= -9.14; 95% CI= - 11.20, -7.07; p< 0.001) and higher education level of father had higher OHL (β= 1.97; 95% CI= 0.10, 3.83; p= 0.039) than their counterparts. Conclusion: Oral health literacy is higher among the science streams students compared to the social sciences streams. This suggests that science education might play a significant role in health literacy and improving health outcomes.
Linguística de corpus e diálogos de materiais didáticos de língua espanhola: uma análise do ato de fala “diretivos” no contexto de encontros de serviço
Authors: Meniconi Flávia Colen
Published: October 2020

Este trabalho foi desenvolvido com a finalidade de comparar os atos de fala diretivos presentes nos diálogos de livros didáticos de língua espanhola adotados na Universidade Federal de Alagoas e no corpus oral espontâneo da Universidade Autónoma de Madrid. O objetivo do estudo foi analisar as diferenças linguísticas e discursivas presentes nas formulações dos diretivos de ambos os materiais e evidenciar os problemas relacionados à artificialidade dos diálogos criados para fins pedagógicos. Buscou-se, a partir dessa análise, justificar a precariedade no desenvolvimento da competência pragmática dos estudantes de espanhol como língua estrangeira influenciada, entre outros fatores, pela carência de materiais didáticos que apresentam mostras mais reais e espontâneas do idioma. Como resultados, o estudo evidenciou diferenças linguísticas entre os dois materiais analisados. Essas diferenças revelaram uma considerável distância entre a fala oral espontânea e dos diálogos criados em materiais didáticos de língua espanhola.
A construção de intensificação com lexemas de cor no português brasileiro
Authors: Mota Nahendi Almeida , Machado Vieira Marcia Dos Santos
Published: October 2020

Este artigo expõe os resultados da pesquisa sobre a configuração formal-funcional do subesquema Xcor de SN da construção intensificadora Xcor de Y (como em roxo/verde de raiva ou vermelho de vergonha) no português brasileiro. Acreditamos que essa construção seja suscitada pelo fato de nosso corpo, mais especificamente, nosso rosto sofrer alterações de cor devido a alguma emoção ou sensação, como quando ficamos pálidos (de susto), vermelhos (de vergonha, de paixão) etc. Essa mudança na coloração facial é algo tão recorrente que, por associação com o atributo intensidade de cor, pode motivar não só construções como a estudada nesta pesquisa, mas muitas outras, levando-nos a defender que a emoção revelada por meio de cores (geralmente na face) é um fator que contribui para a elaboração simbólica presente na relação entre lexemas de cor a (sub)esquemas como os aqui descritos. Assim, sob a perspectiva da Linguística Funcional-Cognitiva, que busca analisar a língua com base em aspectos socioculturais e pragmáticos, situações comunicativas, conhecimentos internalizados e operações cognitivas, e da Gramática de Construções, para a qual a língua é uma rede de nós/pareamentos forma-função/significado, analisamos como se desencadearam tais construções e como sistemática e variavelmente se configuram, com base em Traugott e Trousdale (2013), Machado Vieira (2016) e Wiedemer e Machado Vieira (2018). Os dados analisados são do Corpus do Português, e o método utilizado foi a análise de frequências. Nossos resultados iniciais mostram que: essa construção intensifica, sobretudo, aspectos negativos; a alternância das cores permite a sua classificação como aloconstruções; e essa construção faz parte da rede construcional de intensificadores do português brasileiro.
