Lack of sleep is the risk factor for a cardiovascular event and low cardiorespiratory endurance. Medical college students are more frequent in experiencing a lack of sleep due to their duty. This study evaluated the correlation between lack of sleep and cardiorespiratory endurance test results in medical college students. This cross-sectional study involved sixty-two males, medical college students. Sleep duration of two weeks was assessed using a validated questionnaire. Queen College Step test was employed for a cardiorespiratory endurance test. Spearman rank test was employed to evaluate the correlation between variables, while logistic regression was applied to assess the possibility of having a good VO2max. SPSS version 19 was used to process the data and perform a statistical test. Significance was set at p<0.05. The mean sleep duration was 6.2 hours, with more students having insufficient sleep duration (51 participants). The mean VO2max was 50.4 ml/kg/min, with more students having good VO2max (50 participants). Spearman rank test indicated the weak correlation between age and sleep (r=0.2, p=0.04) and a moderate correlation between physical activity and VO2max (r=0.43, p<0.01). No correlation between sleep and VO2max result (p=0.07). Logistic regression showed sufficient physical activity is associated with 14.5 times possibility of having good VO2max (95% CI 2.7-77.8, p=0.02). The correlation between sleep and the VO2max result was not evident. Instead, sleep was associated with students’ age while VO2max with sufficient physical activity.

The Impact of War on U.S. Army Leader Self-Development Domain in the Early 21st Century
Authors: Pomper Stephen
Published: February 2022

The past 19 years of war have impacted the U.S. Army in countless ways. One is arguably on its most precious capability—its officer leaders. As the Army rose to war-related challenges, it did so at leader-development costs. Little time, focus, and a battle environment left developing others and oneself low on the list of priorities. Less officer nurturing in the past will have an amplified and harmful effect in the near and distant future; unless, of course, the Army understands its self-development state-of-affairs today and takes action to bolster adult learning. It is no longer a question of if the Army wants to develop its leadership seed-corn, but if they can.
How Does Organizational Culture Influence the Adoption of Research Evidence by Management Practitioners?
Authors: C Cruz Juan , Blaney Justin
Published: February 2022

Using the best available evidence from multiple sources can lead to more effective management practice. However, management practitioners often make decisions based on limited evidence, mostly from personal experience and judgment. Values, beliefs, and practices may conflict with a manager’s ability to use research evidence in practice.

This systematic review suggests that an integration of the diffusion of innovations (Rogers, 1995) and planned behavior (Ajzen, 1991) theories may be used to explain the influence of values, beliefs, and practices on the adoption of research evidence by management practitioners. These cultural influence factors may be conceptualized as moderating the effects of innovation diffusion efforts on research evidence adoption behavior.

Viewing evidence-based management (EBMgt) as an innovation, organizational managers may employ innovation diffusion strategies to influence values, beliefs, and practices conducive to using research evidence in management practice. This review presents recommendations for both practitioners and scholars to facilitate EBMgt. Practitioners can promote a culture that enables evidence-based practice, use tact when presenting evidence to a skeptical audience, and form partnerships with scholars. Leaders can promote the use of evidence in their organizations, provide evidence-based practice tools and training, and use human resource practices to ensure key positions are proficient in research skills. Scholars can publish more practitioner-friendly evidence and teach business and management students research skills.
What leadership styles and traits do industry partners need to exhibit to produce positive outcomes from collaborative projects with researchers from other types of organizations?
Authors: R. Nichols Charles
Published: February 2022

This is a Rapid Evidence Assessment focused on the identification of leadership styles and traits that enable industry partners to optimize their support on collaborative research projects. While there is considerable research on collaboration, there is a gap related to the leadership contributions that industry partners bring to team science projects. Literature searches returned 192 titles and abstracts, which were assessed for applicability. Of these, seven met the criteria for inclusion. These seven articles formed the basis for snowballing, which contributed to the addition of 19 articles. The 26 papers provided robust research design to be applicable for industry leaders who are supporting government-university-industry partnership projects. Evidence highlighted leadership style and traits that could be applied by industry. The servant leadership style and the capacity to inspire trust were highlighted by the selected research. Operating as a servant leader, an industry leader participating in a team science project has a greater potential to meet research goals and achieve innovative solutions through teamwork. Findings indicate that the facilitation skills common among industry leaders are essential to support a university-industry-government partnership project. Industry partners are well suited to support collaboration while avoiding competitive practices that might otherwise complicate the achievement of project objectives.

Authors: Frank Debra
Published: February 2022

Microbusinesses demonstrated resilience through creative ways to survive during the COVID-19 pandemic closures. Seven critical success factors of internal and external influence are found from this research question review.

When COVID-19’s shutdown rolled out, many microbusinesses were forced to close since they were not considered essential services and activities. These microbusinesses had to scramble to find new ways to conduct business and retain customers to survive. This research question review summarizes key critical success factors that would help prevent microbusinesses from permanent closure during a pandemic. The seven success factors identified in this paper are: Management Skills, Learning Agility, Survival Tactics, Technology, Community, Business Alliances, and Marketing. These identified success factors could lead future research to develop suggestive models for microbusinesses to follow for closure preventions during a pandemic.

Authors: Alzgool Husein A. , Alfraihat Ahmad S. , Alzghool Hadeel
Published: February 2022

Since the interaction between the steel reinforcement and concrete directly controls the bond strength between them, poor bond performance results in a direct negative effect on the existing state of reinforced concrete structures. This bond is one of the most important factors affecting the strength of reinforced concrete. The bond strength is measured using the pull-out test. The present paper discusses the effect of the addition of brine and olive oil mill wastewaters to the reinforced concrete mixes. The main objective of this study is to determine the effect of brine wastewaters and olive oil mill wastewaters on the bond strength between steel and concrete when adding each of the admixtures to the concrete components. Pull-out tests were conducted on concrete mixes with additive contents of 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, and 15 % by weight of water for each. It was found that the bonding strength of reinforced concrete specimens with an olive oil mill and brine wastewater improved and decreased by approximately 6–10% and 2–5%, respectively, if compared to the reference samples. These values were observed for mixes with additive contents of 7.5% for olive oil mill wastewaters and 10% for brine wastewaters. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-02-010 Full Text: PDF
Effect of Pumice Stone and Sugar Molasses on the Behavior of Reinforced Concrete One-Way Ribbed Slabs
Authors: Mohammed Tamara Amer , Kadhim Hayder Mohammed
Published: February 2022

The world is currently heading towards sustainability by reducing the amount of concrete, thus reducing the total unit weight. Moreover, design construction requires materials with a higher strength-to-weight ratio. Ribbed slabs and lightweight concrete (LWC) are considered two leading sustainability facilities. This research developed an experimental study to evaluate the effects of concrete type, steel reinforcement ratio, the geometry of ribs, voiding ratio, and slab type on the structural behavior of one-way ribbed slabs. Eight of the one-way slabs were constructed using pumice stone and by-product material sugar molasses (SM), and one slab was constructed using gravel and SM. These slabs were tested under a static two-point load and simply supported until failure. The results showed that using SM with pumice stone instead of gravel led to high strength-lightweight concrete (HSLWC), with a cylinder compressive strength of 42.2 MPa and a density of 1943 kg/m3, which meets the requirements of HSLWC codes. Using HSLWC instead of high-strength normal-weight concrete (HSNWC) decreased the thermal conductivity by 43.55% and the unit weight by 19.31%. Moreover, the ultimate strength of the HSLWC one-way ribbed slab decreased by 17.70%. Overcoming this strength reduction necessitated increasing the steel reinforcement ratio of the ribs from 0.28 to 0.44% in the HSLWC ribbed slab. Changing the number of ribs at the same amount of HSLWC showed a minor effect on the strength capacity of slabs but showed an economic benefit. However, increasing the rib width to reduce the voiding ratio from 44 to 40% resulted in a greater improvement in structural efficiency (SE) of one-way ribbed slab than reducing it from 44 to 33%. Consequently, the optimum rib width was 120 mm. Moreover, using a ribbed slab instead of a solid slab of HSLWC at the same amount of concrete increased the ultimate strength by 130.37%, decreased deflection by 3.99%, and improved SE by 126.46%. Furthermore, experimental results of ultimate load were compared with the ACI 318-19 code design equation. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-02-011 Full Text: PDF
Seismic Pounding Response of Neighboring Structure using Various Codes with Soil-Structure Interaction effects: Focus on Separation Gap
Authors: Awchat Ganesh Deoraoji , Monde Amruta , Sirsikar Rajat , Dingane Rahul , Dhanjode Gopal
Published: February 2022

Due to the high cost and less availability of land, the buildings are constructed adjacent to each other with a significantly smaller separation gap. Whenever seismic forces act on adjacent structures, they collide and cause significant structural and architectural damage. Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) effects cause more complications in the adjacent structures. This paper assesses the gap distance between RC bare frame adjacent structures of varying heights in medium and soft soil with and without SSI to avoid the pounding effect of an earthquake. The main objectives are to find the separation distance between adjacent buildings by the provisions of FEMA 356, IS 1893 (Part 1):2002, IS 1893 (Part 1):2016 and EN 1998-1:2004. The separation gap between different codes was then compared to determine the minimum separation required to prevent pounding between the structures. The maximum lateral displacement on the roof and the time period of the adjacent buildings are compared with and without SSI. There is a significant increase in lateral displacement, separation distance, and time period considering SSI. It is found that the Indian code overestimates the separation distance. Thus, this study guides structural engineers to maintain a minimum separation distance between buildings erected on medium and soft soils in high seismic zones of India. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-02-09 Full Text: PDF

Cuando hablamos del asilo y el refugio por motivo de orientación sexual y de identidad género (SOGI, Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity, siglas en inglés) en la Ciudad de Melilla, hablamos de un fenómeno contextualizado por cuatro realidades que influyen como factores determinantes:

La realidad de la protección internacional dentro del fenómeno migratorio.

La propia vulnerabilidad del colectivo LGTBI en el conjunto de la sociedad.

La especificidad del asilo desde el punto de vista procedimental y del sistema de acogida en Melilla.

La especificidad de los grupos especialmente vulnerables dentro del fenómeno del asilo y el refugio.

Otro factor a tener en cuenta es cómo la pandemia ha afectado al colectivo de migrantes solicitantes de asilo LGTBI en Melilla de forma específica durante estos dos años (Washington blade, 2020).

Morphology—A Gateway to Advanced Language: Meta-Analysis of Morphological Knowledge in Language-Minority Children
Authors: Bratlie Siri Steffensen , Brinchmann Ellen Irén , Melby-Lervåg Monica , Torkildsen Janne von Koss
Published: February 2022

Knowledge about the smallest meaningful units of language, morphemes, is crucial for vocabulary and reading comprehension. This meta-analysis of 43 studies examined differences in morphological knowledge in the societal language between language-minority and language-majority children. There was a moderate to large mean group difference in morphological knowledge in favor of the language-majority children. Studies that examined inflectional knowledge (walk–walked, rose–roses) reported larger differences than studies that examined knowledge of derivations (coexist, serious) and compounds (bluebird, highlight). Studies that used oral tests and tests of expressive language reported larger differences than studies that used written tests and tests of receptive language. These findings show that morphology is an area of weakness in language-minority children. Paired with the evidence that morphological instruction improves general language ability and reading comprehension, the results suggest that morphology could be an essential component in language interventions for language-minority children.
Antecedent conditions control thresholds of tile-runoff generation and nitrogen export in intensively managed landscapes
Authors: Ward Adam , Cain Molly , Kumar Praveen , Woo Dongkook , Keefer Laura
Published: February 2022

Threshold changes in rainfall-runoff generation commonly represent shifts in runoff mechanisms and hydrologic connectivity controlling water and solute transport and transformation. In watersheds with limited human influence, threshold runoff responses reflect interaction between precipitation event and antecedent soil moisture. Similar analyses are lacking in intensively managed landscapes where installation of subsurface drainage tiles has altered connectivity between the land surface, groundwater, and streams, and where application of fertilizer has created significant stores of subsurface nitrogen. In this study, we identify threshold patterns of tile-runoff generation for a drained agricultural field in Illinois and evaluate how antecedent conditions—including shallow soil moisture, groundwater table depth, and the presence or absence of crops—control tile response. We relate tile-runoff thresholds to patterns of event nitrate load observed across multiple storm events and evaluate how antecedent conditions control within-event nitrate concentration-discharge relationships. Our results demonstrate that an event tile-runoff threshold emerges relative to the sum of gross precipitation and indices of antecedent shallow soil moisture and antecedent below-tile groundwater moisture deficit, indicating that both shallow soil and below-tile storages must be filled to generate significant runoff. In turn, event nitrate load shows a linear dependence on runoff for most time periods, suggesting that subsurface nitrate export and storage can be estimated using runoff threshold relationships and long-term average nitrate concentrations. Finally, within-event nitrate concentration-discharge relationships are controlled by event size and the antecedent tile flow state because these factors dictate the sequence of flow path activation and tile connectivity over a storm event.

Neurosurgery at the University of Oklahoma has played a pivotal role in the development of the specialty in the state. Its history spans nearly 90 years, beginning in 1931 when Dr. Harry Wilkins established the first neurosurgical practice in the state at the University of Oklahoma. Together with his first trainee, Dr. Jess Herrmann, Wilkins established the Division of Neurosurgery and its training program in 1946. Through their tireless work, the division and its residency program gained renown for its patient care and teaching, and this tradition was carried forward by its subsequent leaders. The Department of Neurosurgery was established in 1993. From humble beginnings, neurosurgery at the University of Oklahoma has grown a comprehensive residency program with an intensive curriculum, leveraging the clinical and academic breadth afforded by relationships with the College of Medicine, the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, and allied clinical and research partners. Here, the authors recount the history of neurosurgery at the University of Oklahoma, the flagship academic neurosurgical program in the state.
A site bearing on the origin of iron deposits in the Iron Springs Mining District, Iron County, Utah
Authors: Rowley Peter , Hacker David , Biek Robert
Published: February 2022

The discovery of the origin of iron in the Iron Springs mining district of southwestern Utah is a story of unconventional thinking based on detailed geologic mapping. This district, for many years the largest iron producer in the West, owes its resources to emplacement of three Miocene laccoliths of quartz monzonite porphyry. A visit to the geosite, in the outer part of one of them, The Three Peaks laccolith, reveals evidence of magma emplacement and mineralization of the overlying host rock. This outcrop formed by upward and outward bulging during intrusion of a rapidly congealing, crystal-rich magma. The pluton was emplaced remarkably close to the surface, about 1.2 miles (2 km) depth, and the ferromagnesian phenocrysts became unstable and broke down (deuteric alteration), releasing iron molecules into the hydrothermal solutions. As the magma solidified, subvertical extension joints formed. The radial joints in particular, oriented perpendicular to the intrusive contacts, allowed the iron-rich solutions to escape into the concordant upper contact of a pure limestone about 280 feet (85 m) thick. This limestone is the Co-op Creek Limestone Member of the Carmel Formation (Middle Jurassic). The joints tapped the solidifying crystal mush adjacent to the joints. The iron in the solutions replaced some or most of the Co-op Creek Limestone Member, creating huge ore bodies of hematite.

The interaction of humans with space has increased tremendously. With the growing role of Extravehicular Activities (EVAs), the astronaut gloves in space suits require technological research and innovations. The gloves may seem insignificant to design, but it is practically the most tedious as all the tasks during an EVA require significant hand usage. A space glove should have strength and capabilities like dexterity, manipulability, and tactility. Its primary objective is to allow astronauts to move their fingers as efficiently as possible and aid with locomotion, restraint, and object handling. The present glove is cumbersome due to high torque requirements at the knuckles or metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints. Also, astronauts suffer from a condition called fingernail delamination (or onycholysis) due to sustained pressure on the fingertips. The focus is on the main challenges of the given technology and scientific enhancements and how to use them to draw all their benefits. This paper provides a review study to determine the project's plausibility with gradual and substantial technological advancements.

Scientific attitude is an important element in learning Natural Sciences (IPA) which must be instilled early on. However, many studies reveal that students in elementary schools still have a low scientific attitude so it takes some effort to improve it. Efforts that can be done include implementing a learning model and media that are thought to facilitate students in developing their scientific attitude, one of which is the Guided Inquiry model with Sparkol Videoscribe learning media. This research has the aim of improving students' scientific attitudes by applying the Guided Inquiry model assisted by Sparkol Videoscribe in science learning. The method used in this study is a quasi-experimental type of experimental research and the Nonequivalent control group design. The population in this study were all grade 5 students of elementary schools in Cigasong Sub-district, Majalengka with the sample being grade 5 students of SDN Cicenang 1, Majalengka of two classes. The results of the study illustrate that the scientific attitude of students who obtained the Guided Inquiry model assisted by Sparkol Videoscribe was better than students who obtained conventional learning. From these results, it can be concluded that the Guided Inquiry model assisted by Sparkol Videoscribe is effective in improving students' scientific attitudes.
IMPLEMENTATION OF QANUN NUMBER 11 OF 2018 CONCERNING ISLAMIC FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS AT STATE-OWNED BANKS IN LHOKSEUMAWE CITY
Authors: Kamaly Nurul , Bahri M Irvanni
Published: February 2022

This study will look into how regional regulation in Aceh is applied, specifically Qanun No.11 Year 2018 in terms of shari'a financial affiliate. This study is conducted at Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI), Bank Tabungan Negara (BTN), and Bank Mandiri, all of which are state-owned enterprises (BUMN) in the city of Lhokseumawe. This study's goal is to examine Qanun adoption by the aforementioned conventional banks, as well as the forecasts that those affiliates face in the process of implementing the Qanun of shari'a financial affiliate. This study is qualitative in nature since it completely and comprehensively explains the phenomena under investigation. Data was gathered by observation, interview, and documentation. The interactive model of inquiry was used to assess all of the data collected. According to the findings of this study, traditional banks have been devoted to Qanun implementation since 2019, starting with survey management and piloting public education linked to shari'a financial affiliate qanun. Traditional banks are currently in a 'ongoing' phase when it comes to the conversion of traditional accounts to shari'a accounts. Furthermore, asset asymmetry and employment management efforts have been ongoing. Nonetheless, there were a slew of roadblocks in the actual world. Among these were the growing lines of everyday customers wishing to convert their accounts to shari'a, the frequent occurrence of issues in the shari'a IT system, and the lack of clarity on the status of employees converting to shari'a. However, by 2021, every conventional bank in Aceh will have to be converted to shari'a law in accordance with Qanun No.11 of 2018.
Overseas Parent Company Revenue Becomes Permanent Establishment Taxable Income in Indonesia
Authors: Santoso Muhammad Rifky
Published: February 2022

The tax authority performs tax audits to increase revenue and ensure that taxpayers carry out their tax obligations properly. During the tax audit, there could be a dispute between the taxpayers and the tax authority in interpreting the tax treaty. This paper discusses the dispute over the results of the tax audit conducted by the tax authorities. By using the method of tax court cases in Indonesia, the interpretation of the tax treaty between Indonesian and China cannot be based solely on text. Other sources are needed, such as the UN model and its commentary, and the domestic income tax regulations of the source country. Using some materials to interpret the treaty can prevent tax reduction and tax evasion. The results found that the tax treaty between Indonesian and China only mentions the tax credit method to avoid double taxation, whereas in this case, it is better to use the tax exemption method to avoid double taxation.
