Published: October 2022

O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar o efeito ser aposentado em sua decisão de empreender, seja por “conta própria” ou “empregador”, controlando por faixas etárias, salariais e liberdade econômica. Para atingir os objetivos, utilizou-se o conjunto de microdados do censo demográfico de 2010 e o Índice Mackenzie de Liberdade Econômica. Os resultados encontrados apontam que aposentados com maiores chances de empreender por conta própria, situam-se entre 60 e 64 anos, enquanto, os empregadores entre 55 e 59 anos. Ademais, as chances de ser empregador eleva-se conforme aumenta a faixa salarial. Por outro lado, as chances de trabalhar por conta própria aumentam conforme a faixa salarial reduz. Paralelamente, quanto maior a liberdade econômica, maiores são as chances de os aposentados empreender. Diante da mudança demográfica brasileira, percebe-se um aumento dos empreendedores seniors. Nesta perspectiva, o estudo contribui para uma melhor compreensão do fenômeno do empreendedorismo sênior no Brasil.

Authors: Reichert Walter Schneider , De Moraes Gustavo Inácio
Published: October 2022

O setor de varejo nos Estados Unidos passa por um processo de transformação importante, principalmente na última década, em decorrência da popularização da internet e do e-commerce. Este artigo se propõe a estudar as perspectivas implícitas para cada empresa estudada a partir da precificação de suas ações, através do Modelo de Gordon. Conclui-se, então, que as perspectivas de crescimento para a líder do e-commerce (Amazon), são muito superiores às perspectivas para as demais empresas, sejam elas do segmento físico ou online. A criação de importantes vantagens competitivas pela Amazon vêm permitindo que esta cresça de forma mais acelerada do que suas concorrentes, incluindo o Ebay, que mesmo atuando majoritariamente no canal online, não está conseguindo atingir o mesmo sucesso que a Amazon.

Coordenação motora e funções executivas: possíveis associações
Authors: Nava Giordano Formolo , Zacaron Daniel , Nobre Glauber Carvalho , Sartori Rodrigo Flores
Published: October 2022

Atualmente, a literatura expõe dados que representam fortes correlações entre os níveis de coordenação motora e habilidades cognitivas gerais. Entretanto, pouco se sabe sobre até que ponto uma variável pode incidir sobre outra, e vice-versa. Tendo em vista tais constatações, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo verificar as possíveis correlações entre funções executivas e tarefas de coordenação motora em escolares. Participaram da amostra 40 crianças, de faixa etária 11 e 12 anos, regularmente matriculadas em escolas públicas de Caxias do Sul/RS. Foram utilizados três testes para mensurar a aptidão funcional executiva: Go/No-Go, Odd One Out e Trial Making Test; e o teste KTK para avaliar a coordenação motora. Dentre os resultados, exaltou-se correlações moderadas, negativas e significativas entre o número de erros no teste de controle inibitório auditivo verbal e o desempenho nas quatro tarefas motoras (equilíbrio, r = -0.352 p = 0.028; salto monopedal, r = -0.339 p = 0.035; salto lateral, r = -0.319 p = 0.048 e na transposição, r = -0.341 p = 0.034). A partir desta pesquisa, conclui-se que a associação entre funções executivas e coordenação motora existe. Sugere-se que, para treinar a capacidade motora de um indivíduo em potencial máximo, o desafio deve aliar a tarefa física a uma demanda cognitiva, da qual instigue o praticante a vencer o obstáculo de forma inteligente, onde o sucesso não dependa apenas de seu vigor físico, mas de uma estratégia elaborada instrinsicamente.

Molecular markers, phylogeography and search for the criteria for delimiting species
Authors: Abramson N.I.
Published: October 2022

The search for practical criteria for delimiting species was always topical. The waves of species splitting and lumping always altered depending both from dominant species concept, fashion and methods applied. Starting from the end of the last century the description of species diversity is at the peak of splitting wave. The specific feature of current splitting wave is that it relies 1) on new wide array of characters – molecular markers with their universality and easy application; 2) wide application of molecular markers in its turn gave birth to new methodology – phylogenetic analysis penetrates to intraspecies level, new direction of studies – phylogeography (Avise et al., 1987) appears and explosively develops. Phylogeography very successfully fall on phylogenetic species concept using gene trees as the basis for delimiting species and this «tree-thinking» approach together with widely expanding studies on phylogeography lead to dramatic increase in species number practically in all groups of vertebrates. Unlike morphological characters, molecular markers are universal (occur in all or almost in all organisms) and genetic distances, therewith, at a first glance gave an universal metrics for delimiting species which could be applied to almost all groups. Thus remarkable and long-awaited perspective opens- systematics receive an universal tool for distinguishing and delimitation of species. However, this hope on universal criteria once again appeared to be false and all issues which rise while working with molecular markers are very similar to those one have using morphological approach. In other words application of molecular markers bring us back to old and well known issues major part of which currently has no solution and the feeling that biologists at last have gain a unit similar to exact sciences is very wrong.
Fractal and chaotic patterns in animal morphology
Authors: Isaeva V.V.
Published: October 2022

In the review the spatial organization of cells, cell ensembles, tissues and metazoan body are considered using the concepts of fractal geometry, topology and dynamic chaos theory. We investigated both the scenario of transition from chaos into order during self-organization of cells in vitro and the reverse scenario of transition from order to chaos in the fractal morphogenesis of metazoan cell systems. Chaotic features in animal morphology were identified and quantified. Fractal morphogenesis was studied using epithelial branching channels of gastrovascular system in the scyphomeduse Aurelia aurita and tracheal gill system in the mayfly larvae Siphlonurus immanis and Parameletus chelifer, as well as structures of colonial interna in rhizocephalan crustaceans Peltogasterella gracilis and Polyascus polygenea. It was shown that completely identical fractal patterns do not occur even within a single animal body with radial or bilateral symmetric, functionally equivalent repetitive modules. Fractal dimension was used to quantify the spatial complexity of neuron morphology in central nervous system of the fishes Pholidapus dybowskii, Oncorhyhchus keta and Oncorhyhchus masou. During ontogenesis of Oncorhyhchus masou the values of fractal dimension and linear morphometric indicators were rising in studied neuron groups. Probably biological morphogenesis with chaotic fractal regime had an advantage in evolution, providing morphofunctional variability, plasticity and adaptability to unpredictable environmental changes.
The hierarchy and combinatorial space of characters in evolutionary systematics
Authors: Vasilyeva L.N.
Published: October 2022

In this paper, the Linnaean hierarchy is discussed as the taxonomic model for the evolutionary differentiation of the earth’s biota. This model allows us to understand why a number of ideas and arguments in the evolutionary theory are unfortunate. Among these is the idea of a linear ladder of nature («scala natura»). The arguments about species constancy versus species variability, natural species versus «artificial» higher taxa, a single type of animals versus multiple types, as well as about the connection versus disconnection of microevolution and macroevolution are meaningless. Two kinds of phylogeny are considered. The first reflects the appearance of new characters in the course of evolution, and their sequence provides the nesting hierarchy of groups. The second reflects the appearance of new character states and provides a basis for the diversity of taxa at each hierarchical level. The taxonomic hierarchy is an embodiment of the first kind of phylogeny and does not require the tracing of ancestors and descendants along the lines of character development. Character ranking and the improvement of a tentative taxonomic hierarchy with the help of a posteriori weighting of differences are discussed. The method of character weighting leads to the construction of prognostic combinatorial arrangements that can predict the existence of organisms with certain character state combinations at each hierarchical level. The drawbacks of cladistic methodology, especially the «synapomorphy principle», the «dichotomy principle», and the monophyly «definition» through the internal composition of groups, are noted. It is pointed out that these principles only lead to the creation of heterogeneous groups and wrong character ranking.
The species problem in biology – another look
Authors: Pavlinov I.Ya.
Published: October 2022

The modern species problem in biology is defined as a contradiction between the need for general notion of the species having a unified contents in various branches of biology, and impossibility to reach it. Any species concept becomes biologically valid under conditions of a biologically sound basic theory, which defines what is the species in a general case and why and how does it come to existence. There a hierarchy of species concepts and definition exist, with a most general «ideal» concept (a kind of «species theory») belonging to its highest level of generality. No such concept is known to exist at the moment; one of its version could be elaborated within a theoretical framework of synergetic model of developing and structuring biota, with the species being an element of the biota’s structure. A number of particular contentwise species concepts belong to the middle level of that hierarchy, each corresponding to a particular aspect of consideration of the biota’s structure. Different middle-level species concepts and definitions could be valid for the different taxonomic groups and for the different tasks of exploration of that structure. Operational species concepts belong to the lower level of that hierarchy, which principal aim is to elaborate particular methods of recognition of particular species. To be biologically sound, they are to be consistent with certain middle-level concept(s). With the universal, biologically sound species concept being absent, it is the taxonomic species concept that is a classificatory unversalia. However, its biological contents is different in different groups of organisms. Judgments about species diversity are special kind of the «taxonomic hypotheses», which are dawn and tested within a framework of certain basic biological theory fixing certain aspect of consideration of the biota’s structure. Personal knowledge plays an important role in understanding of both the species problem in general and the ways it could be resolved in form of particular species concepts and definitions.
The version of the contemporary theory of evolutionary systematics
Authors: Epstein V.M.
Published: October 2022

Integral theory of evolutional systematics is presented in this article for the first time in contemporary science. It became formed as the science about evolution of species’ diversity and methods of investigation of it. Here is defined its object, subject, aim and method. Theoretical evolutional systematics is separated from practical systematics. Three sections are included in its content: idiographical systematics, nomothetical systematics and phylogenetical cybernetics. Idiographical systematics includes theories of descriptions (= meronomy), classifications (= taxonomy) and reconstructions of phylogenesis (= phylonomy). Nomothetical systematics includes the laws of phylogenetics, postulates of systematics, axioms and theorems of evolutional systematics in a whole, forming deductive theoretical system of evolutional systematics (DTS ES). Status of laws is added to 21 conformities to natural laws of phylogenetics. Here are formulated 6 postulates of systematics. On the base of logical investigations of laws and postulates as statements, the laws of phylogenetics are represented in form of 6 axioms and 15 theorems. Postulates of systematics are considered as 6 axioms. DTS ES is represented in the paper on the base of analysis of connections between 12 axioms. Phylogenetical cybernetics includes interpretation of the theory on the some systemic and probabilistic models of species, their classification and reconstruction of phylogenesis, the examples are present in the article. It is divided on three sections of investigations : systemology, theory of control phylogenetical transformations and theory of information processes in phylogenesis. The sections of evolutional systematics are interpreted accordingly philosophical conception of the levels of scientific knowledge. Systematics and phylogenetics are considered as two aspects of evolutional systematics as united science, reflecting its onthology (= the laws of phylogenesis) and gnosiologyl (= postulates of systematics). This solution conforms to initial definition of evolutional systematics as the science of evolution of species’ diversity and methods of its investigation and conforms the contemporary darwinism.

Published: October 2022

The activity of Carl Linnaeus as zoologist is described. His life is briefly outlined in the context of his zoological interests. All twelve editions of “Systema Naturae” (from 1735 to 1766) are analysed, and the most important changes in the taxonomy of animals are given. So called 13th editions are mentioned as well. The importance of “Fauna Svecica” is considered, with comparison of its both editions (1746 и 1760). Other publications of Linnaeus, as well as numerous dissertations of his students, associated with zoology, are listed. Linnaeus’ contribution to the systematics, including taxonomic ranks and binary nomenclature, is evaluated. His species concept, his views on Homo sapiens and fossil animals are presented as well.

Introduction: Fear is the normal response to any perceived threat especially when it comes to contracting a new disease resulting in stress and anxiety. This study was conducted during the peak epidemic phase of COVID-19 in Pakistan to assess fear level among Pakistani population regarding COVID-19. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted during June-July 2020 in Pakistan. A pre-designed questionnaire based on “Fear of COVID-19 Scale” was distributed through email and social media platforms. Descriptive analysis was conducted and frequencies were calculated. Each response scored as 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). The fear level was categorized as high (>20 score), Moderate (14-20 score) and low (<14 score). Inferential analysis was carried out using multiple logistic regression, at 95% confidence interval and p<0.05. Results: A total of 489 individuals were contacted and 404 individuals participated in this study (RR: 83%). Mean age remained 29 years (±14.5), males were 54.5% , literacy rate was 90.1%, employed were 89.1%, previously infected with COVID-19 were 49.5% and unmarried were 58.4%. The fear level remained as high (32%), moderate (38%) and low (30%). Multiple logistic regression showed that male (OR: 2.09, 95% CI: 1.82-3.70, p=0.01), previously infected with COVID-19 (OR: 2.18, 95% CI: 1.65-3.71, p=0.004) and high education level (OR: 1.89, 95% CI: 1.18-4.71, p=0.03) remained significantly associated with the high level of fear. Conclusion & Recommendations: It is evident that a COVID-19 linked fear exists in different groups of Pakistani community especially among the previously infected cases and high educated persons. Therefore, there is a need to design and implement public health interventions according to the high risk for mitigation of COVID-19 linked fear.
Predicting Forest Pest Threats in Australia: Are Risk Lists Worth the Paper they’re Written on?
Authors: Nahrung Helen F. , Carnegie Angus J.
Published: October 2022

We reviewed exotic insect species that are considered threats to Australia’s plantation, amenity, native forests and timber-in-service (“risk species”), comparing them to already-established non-native species. We examined biological and phylogenetic traits, border interceptions, origins and geographic distributions, to identify similarities between groups. Border interceptions of insect species considered an invasion risk were further analysed to identify their likely pathways. The two groups “risk species” and “established species” differed compositionally, with the dissimilarity possibly due to: (1) neither timber pests nor, to a lesser extent, exotic amenity tree host taxa being considered in industry or environmental biosecurity plans (e.g. explaining the under-representation of Bostrichidae in perceived risks compared to establishments and interceptions); (2) the importance of high-profile pests overseas (e.g. Monochamus spp., Lymantria spp.) inflating some groups over others; (3) unpredictability (“known unknowns”) (e.g. establishment of unexpected species such as Marchalina hellenica and Essigella californica); (4) identification of emerging pests or pathways that may differ from historical arrivals; (5) surveillance — for insects at least — traditionally targeting more detectable taxa (possibly explaining the over-representation of moths and cerambycids in risk lists compared to establishments). The under-representation of Hemiptera on risk lists may reflect their low visibility as impact species outside Australia, their lower detectability, and hence, unpredictability. Risk and established species groups could be separated based on body size and geographic distribution, as well as in the frequency (proportion of species intercepted), but not number, of border interceptions. Risk species were often intercepted from their invaded range, and were largely associated with wood products and packaging and non-commercial pathways (mail, baggage, personal effects). Our study highlights common factors that might assist with developing risk lists — e.g. polyphagy, history of invasiveness, body size — and the fallibility of such lists. Improving general surveillance capacity and capability will increase the chance of detecting cryptic or unpredictable pests that are not effectively targeted in specific surveillance.
Profitability of Sugar Beet Crop in Campaign 2019/2020
Authors: Krzysiak Zbigniew
Published: October 2022

The work presents a complex analysis and cost accounting of beet sugar cultivation in the 2019/2020 campaign for individual farms of the Lublin region. About 119 farms were analyzed. On the basis of this analysis, the criteria for the model farm were defined, which were adapted for the calculation of sugar beet production costs.
The economic results obtained by the producers are mainly affected by indirect costs accounting for 60.48% of the revenue from the total production. Within this group of costs, the major components are sowing service, harvest and soil liming operations reaching 39.26%.
Sugar beet production in the analyzed campaign was profitable, with the profitability index 1.21 and unit production cost of 15.07 PLN/dt. Sugar beet growing is considered to be one out of profit-making activities, in agricultural production, yet it is characterized by the high production cost that gobbled up 82.48% of total revenue in the analyzed campaign of 2019/20.
Diversification of Fiscal and Economic Consequences of Municipal Tax Policy on the Example of Real Estate Tax
Authors: Wichowska Anna , Wadecka Anita
Published: October 2022

The aim of the article was to assess the fiscal and economic differentiation of the municipal tax policy on the example of real estate tax in Polish cities with poviat status. This is an important theoretical and practical issue. On the one hand, the application of high tax rates may contribute to an increase in the budgetary revenues of cities, and on the other hand, may discourage potential investors from operating in the city and deteriorate its economic and social condition. The research allowed to state that the use of municipal tax policy is an instrument that strongly regulates fiscal and economic processes taking place in local government. It was found that the largest real estate tax revenues were in cities with a fiscal tax policy (where the highest tax rates were applied), while cities with relatively low real estate tax rates achieved in 2018-2020 an average revenue three times lower than cities applying fiscal tax policy. Moreover, the research proved that the most developed local governments in terms of socio-economic use applied fiscal tax policy. The least developed socially and economically was the group of cities with a liberal tax policy, and therefore applying relatively low tax rates.
Feasibility Study of the Use of Renewable Energy Sources in Households
Authors: Ozdarski Wojciech Tomasz , Witkowska-Dąbrowska Mirosława , De Jesus Ilisio Manuel
Published: October 2022

The present study presents an estimation of the effectiveness of photovoltaic panels and a heat pump installation. The objective of the research was to evaluate the economic feasibility of investing in combined systems relying on renewable energy sources. The research results corroborated the first hypothesis, namely that the use of photovoltaic panels fully supplies the energy needs of the heat pump installed in the household. The other hypothesis, however, was not supported; namely that a combined investment in photovoltaic panels and a heat pumps will pay back in a period shorter than the half of the project’s lifetime. The period of financial return slightly exceeded the assumed time. This means that a combination of a heat pump and a photovoltaic installation is economically feasible, but some forms of support with external capital should be applied.
Employer Branding as a Modern Form of Building the Employer’s Image – Students’ Perspective as Future Employees
Authors: Stachowska Sylwia , Wontora Justyna
Published: October 2022

Under the conditions underlying the contemporary work market, the brand of an organisation as an attractive employer, especially in the opinion of young, talented people, can be a key factor leading to the success of the company in a longer perspective. From this standpoint, the concept of employer branding is gaining importance as a modern way of creating an image of an employer among the current and future employees.

The aim of this study has been to evaluate the effectiveness of employer branding activities implemented by organisations operating on the labour market in the eyes of students as potential employees. The study included students in the second cycle of studies at the Faculty of Economic Sciences, the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn. The study was carried out as a survey in the first quarter of year 2022. 

The study has verified that a positive image of an employer has a significant influence on prospective applicants searching for employment in a given company. The most important role in this regard is played by employer branding activities conducted online, and creating the employer’s profile in social media seems to be particularly valid. For raising the awareness of organisations active on the job market, it also turned out to be significant to participate in in-person job fairs and all other types of events held at universities to promote employment opportunities. Companies which wish to build an employer brand among representatives of the young generation, including university students, soon to be university graduates, should pay attention to using the mentioned solutions in their management practice.
The Role of French Algeria in American Incorporation of the Philippines and Puerto Rico
Authors: Roberts Tim
Published: October 2022

This article argues that France’s conquest and subsequent legal treatment of Algeria as an integral part of France, though without French citizenship for Algerians, served as a transnational precedent for US incorporation of former Spanish colonies in the early twentieth century. While the United States also drew lessons from British colonial policy, as scholarship has shown, France’s republican empire offered particular tools, which scholars have not studied, for US courts to designate Filipinos and Puerto Ricans like French Algerians. In essence, French Algeria provided an example for US jurists to create an imperial category for new territorial peoples as neither US citizens nor foreign subjects but as “nationals.” The article draws principally on the so-called Insular Cases, US newspapers, and political documents. The article exposes transnational connections between the United States and France in constructing empires of white freedom, no less important than imagined Anglo-Saxonism at the time.

Image-Based Measurement of Hand Parameters for Burn and Scald Treatments
Authors: Zhu Haijiang , Chen Zihan , Luo Zuhua
Published: October 2022

The therapeutic elastic gloves are of great help in the treatment of hand burns and scalds, making superficial and mild burns heal quickly without residual scars or damage to a patient’s functional ability. However, the hand data used to create the elastic gloves for burns and scalds are usually measured by workers. This manual measurement method has a high cost, large error, and unreliable results. In this paper, we propose an image-based parameter measurement method and establish a portable measuring system for finger and palm parameters; these parameters are then applied to create therapeutic gloves for burn and scald treatments. The proposed method can provide an accurate and rapid measurement of the finger and palm parameters. The experimental results for normal hand parameters and injured hand parameters show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Published: October 2022

To evaluate the experimental effect of resistance exercise on health management of exercise therapy in elderly female patients with osteoporosis. 79 patients with osteoporosis were divided into the conventional treatment group, aerobic exercise group, and resistance training group for the experimental study. Results: After 4 months of treatment, only the difference of L2 to L4 vertebral bone density in resistance training was statistically significant, after 8 months of treatment, there were statistically significant differences in BMD of foot root bone, radius bone, and L2 ∼ L4 vertebrae in the three groups, and the added BMD of resistance training was greater than that of the control group and the aerobic exercise group. Conclusion: (1) All three groups have a therapeutic effect on osteoporosis in middle-aged and elderly women. the therapeutic effect of resistance training is significantly better than that of the other two groups. The therapeutic effect is shown as follows: resistance training group > aerobic exercise group > routine treatment group. (2) The BMD increase at 12 months was greater than that at 8 months and 4 months, indicating that the longer the treatment, the more obvious the effect.

Published: October 2022

Computer science and technology have gone deep into many fields, including medical care and public health. The network teaching platform, online courses and formative evaluation developed based on computer science and technology have been widely used in the teaching process of public health, and have played a key role in training qualified public health talents. Case-based learning is a teaching method that takes students as the center and cases as the basis, in which students are guided to find, analyze and solve problems by presenting case situations, and closely combining theory with practice, so that they can understand theories, form their own views and improve their abilities. In this study, the necessity and importance of case-based learning, the basic strategy for the construction of case database, and the design of typical cases of food toxicology were investigated in combination with the training objectives of public health major and the basic situation of food toxicology course in our university. At the same time, a case-based learning was applied in the course of food toxicology, and it was found that this teaching mode could effectively improve the students’ academic performance and teaching satisfaction, and should be of great help to students’ ability to obtain information, learn independently and evaluate information, worth popularizing.

In the face of public health emergencies, medical libraries provide various types of intelligent knowledge services for relevant users based on the available resources and conditions, and take active actions, which is of great significance for medical libraries to fulfill their original mission and responsibilities with practical actions, expand their business scope and innovate service forms. The intelligent service of medical library for public health emergencies is a typical complex system engineering, which requires the cooperation of staff with different professional knowledge and skills. According to a series of systematic processes, intelligent service uses various types of hardware and software resources to realize intelligent knowledge service and decision support. Based on the WSR system methodology in the field of systems engineering, this paper constructs a medical library’s intelligent service model for public health emergencies. The model is a three-dimensional space structure composed of the physical (Wu in Chinese) dimension (W), the common sense (Shi in Chinese) dimension (S), and the human (Ren in Chinese) dimension (R). The article analyzes and discusses the functions and implementation paths of each dimension in detail.
Knowledge Arguments for Time
Authors: Merriam Paul
Published: October 2022

Jackson (1982) introduced the Knowledge Argument to elucidate the phenomenal, interior aspects of experience. In 1908 McTaggart defined two series that characterize one dimension of time, the A-series and the B-series. The A-series is usually thought to be phenomenal Farr (2019), SEP (2018). Thus there is the possibility of giving a Knowledge Argument for time. One (informal) statement of the classical Knowledge Argument might be “Mary knows all the facts about color qualia but lives in a black-and- white room. Upon being released into a colorful world, it would seem she learns something new.” The analogous Knowledge Argument for Time (KAT) would be “Nathan knows all the facts about time but lives in a B-series room. Upon being released into a world with both an A-series and a B-series it would seem he learns something new.” I give variations of the KAT based on various distinctions. I don’t give any particular proposed solutions to the Knowledge Arguments for Time. Rather, the point is to state the Arguments (or indicate how they may be stated). It may be hoped that these will help clarify some issues in the philosophy of time and lead to a cross-fertilization between the philosophy of time and the philosophy of mind.

Published: October 2022

The study investigated reasons for low engagement time and its impact on the implementation of the Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) in secondary schools in Makoni District of Manicaland Province. The investigation employed mixed methods research design. The target population comprised all school heads and teachers in secondary schools in the District. A convenience sampling strategy was used to select schools to participate in the study. The researchers got a list of names of secondary school heads from the District Schools Inspector. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 9 school heads who had the relevant knowledge, experience and were involved as supervisors in CBC implementation, to participate in the study. A total of 32 teachers were randomly selected, bringing the total number of respondents to 41, made up of 9 school heads and 32 teachers. A structured questionnaire with closed-ended and open-ended questions, a face-to-face interview and documentary analysis were the data-gathering instruments. Study findings revealed that the reasons for low engagement time, that had moderate to very large impact on the implementation of Competence-Based Curriculum in Secondary Schools in Makoni District, were: low remuneration of teachers; learner absenteeism; COVID 19-induced lockdowns; late attendance of lessons by learners; and shortage of teaching and learning materials. The study recommends that teachers plan and conduct interactive, interesting learner-centred lessons that motivate students to attend lessons and want to report for lessons early. Government and School Responsible Authorities are urged to staff develop and conscientise teachers on the importance of the teaching profession and its role in human capital development; and to improve teachers' conditions of service.

In later a long time, there has been an increment within the request for scientific bookkeepers due to an increment in debasement cases that are progressively complex and high. However, with expanding request, there's a lopsidedness between supply and request. The supply that the analyst implies is measurable bookkeeping instruction that make legal bookkeepers. Hence, this study points to decide the contrasts within the competencies of scientific bookkeeping specialists that must be had by the education on measurable bookkeeping advertised. This ponders employments essential information within the shape of perceptions and interviews. The test of this inquiries about measured to 17 websites from a few colleges overseas and colleges in Indonesia and this study utilized three tests of asset people from two distinctive teach. This investigate could be an expressive subjective inquire about utilizing triangulation test of information sources. This consider found that there are contrasts of supposition between scientific bookkeeping professionals and academics with respect to the competencies that legal bookkeepers must have and with respect to the themes of courses and educational modules. The results have suggestions that the bookkeeping ponder program can contain course themes that are not as it were related to specialized viewpoints but too delicate abilities and difficult abilities that a legal bookkeeper ought to have.

Published: October 2022

MyRapid is the dominant player in Malaysia's public transportation industry. It innovates and drives public transportation systems in the country while providing public transportation services such as light rail transit (LRT), monorail, and bus services to connect millions of people from different states. This paper examines if the service quality of the public transport services influences customer satisfaction in Penang, Malaysia. The five dimensions of service quality include assurance, empathy, reliability, responsiveness, and tangibles. A total of 150 MyRapid users participated in the survey. Findings revealed that the only two dimensions of service quality, which are reliability and tangibles were significantly related to customer satisfaction whereas the other three dimensions are not supported. The findings provide insight into the public transportation industry to improve the public transportation system in Malaysia, given that service quality is a critical driver of customer satisfaction.

Study of Acoustic Attenuation Trends in Permendur 49 Magnetostrictive Material
Authors: Sheykholeslami M , Allahdadi M , Zeighami M , Ghodsi M
Published: October 2022

The mechanical properties of ferromagnetic materials change when the magnetization level of these materials changes. This phenomenon occurs due to magnetostriction. The change in direction of the magnetic domains is the reason for magnetostriction. In this paper, we hypothesize that the amount of acoustic attenuation in ferromagnetic materials depends on their magnetization level. To prove this hypothesis, a numerical approach is employed and the results compared to previous results in the literature. Permendur, an iron-cobalt alloy that exhibits a large magnetostriction effect, is used for the simulation. The results of the numerical study show that ultrasonic reflection and transmission coefficients in Permendur change in response to changes in the external magnetic field. A comparison between these numerical results and experimental results in the literature allows us to determine the changes in acoustic attenuation due to the magnetic field. The results show that there is an increasing trend at first, and then a decreasing trend, between acoustic absorption attenuation and increasing external magnetic field. This approach would be useful in ultrasonic testing of ferromagnetic materials when the reflected echoes are not detectable due to attenuation.
