Authors: Dejo Padetin Titilayo , Arowosafe Folusade Catherine , Oladeji Sunday Oladipo
Published: November 2023

The limited public dissemination about environmental and sustainable practices is a contributing factor to the low awareness amongst customers. The objective of this paper is to determine customers’ awareness of sustainable practices in selected hotels in Lagos State, Nigeria. Hotels were selected from four categories (International, National, Urban and Suburban hotels) as the research locale. Primary data was obtained from a questionnaire that was administered to guests staying at the selected hotels, while secondary data was drawn from relevant journals, materials and periodicals. Of a total of 500 questionnaires distributed, 403 were returned. The collected data were subjected to analysis using descriptive statistics which included measures like frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. Additionally inferential statistical tools such as Chi–square and logistic regression were employed to test the research hypotheses. The results reveal that that study model is statistically significant at the 0.05 significant level (x2 =314.038 > x2 =0.09, p > 0.05). The sustainable practices identified included various aspects such as the use of energy-saving bulbs, the reuse of towel or bed linens, non-smoking rooms, use of water-saving showers, and hotel designs that harmonise with natural environment. The study therefore recommends that hotels owners should consistently promote the sustainable practices implemented in their hotels to enhance customer satisfaction and improve retention at all times.
Exploring ESL Students’ Language Learning Strategies at an Independent Chinese Secondary School in Malaysia
Authors: Choong Yee Chew , Tan Shin Yen
Published: November 2023

LLSs (language learning strategies) are the strategies selected by learners to comprehend, retain, retrieve, and use information in language learning deliberately and consciously. It has been established that LLSs have significant effects on second language learning. The purpose of this study is to explore the LLSs employed by the ESL students in learning English language at one of the Independent Chinese secondary Schools in Malaysia. By adopting a case study approach, nine students of three proficiency levels (high, average, and low achievers) in the school were selected as participants. The investigation was framed through Oxford’s (1990) classification of LLS to contextualise the students’ LLS for thematic analysis. The findings reveal that high achievers often use metacognitive and cognitive strategies. The average achievers and low achievers often use a wide range of strategies. In addition, the students are able to self-direct their English language learning with the LLS they employed outside the formal classroom autonomously. Recommendations for further/future research related to LLS are provided.
Entrepreneurship Sebagai Panggung Sosial Disabilitas Tunarungu dalam Berekspresi
Authors: Muhammad Iqbal Putra Bakti  , Ario Gleetus  , Hendy Defriyanto
Published: November 2023

Appearance is an important aspect of social life, as appearance is seen as a form of self-expression. An individual must have the desire to show their best appearance to other individuals. But behind all that, not all individuals have the same self-confidence. Disabled people have physical limitations, they are shy to show who they are, afraid to appear in public spaces, and lack confidence. Mental development is stunted because they are closed off to other individuals who do not have anything in common with them. This situation can be overcome by means of entrepreneurship, where the role of entrepreneurship is a place for disabilities to establish relationships of interaction with the wider community. The daily adaptation and interaction between disabilities and the community provides a form of courage in presenting themselves on the social stage. The purpose of this study is to find out how a person with a disability gives his appearance to the public, as well as provide information on the influence of entrepreneurship on their struggle to achieve self-confidence. This research uses a qualitative method, ethnographic approach. The results of this study found that entrepreneurship provides a positive approach for people with disabilities in presenting themselves on the social stage. Entrepreneurship becomes a means of empowerment that can increase the confidence and mentality of disabilities, so that society can take from this solution to provide support to disabilities.

A bolsa que carrega um mundo: a imagem da bagagem em A bolsa amarela, de Lygia Bojunga
Authors: Weber Sebastiany Vanessa
Published: November 2023

O presente artigo traz um estudo da obra A bolsa amarela, de Lygia Bojunga, considerando a leitura por um viés imagético, sob a perspectiva bachelardiana, relacionando imagens poéticas sugeridas ao longo da narrativa com interpretações voltadas à psicanálise, mais especificamente à evolução da constituição do ser e do autoconhecimento que se inicia em Raquel. A bolsa e os itens animados e dotados de linguagem nela constantes, vistos como transfiguração do aspecto psicológico da protagonista, apresentam ao leitor, através das imagens, o processo que Jung define como individuação. A transição entre a infância incompreendida e pouco valorizada pelos adultos e a adolescência levam a personagem a aprender a lidar com suas emoções e reações diante dos acontecimentos externos que a afetam internamente.
Evaluation of MRI-PDFF (Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Proton Density Fat Fraction) as a Non-invasive Biomarker for Liver Steatosis in a Medan Population: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Armalia Sarah , Agus Supriyatno
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Liver steatosis is a growing global health concern, often linked to metabolic syndrome. Accurate non-invasive assessment is vital for early diagnosis and management. MRI-PDFF has emerged as a promising quantitative technique for measuring liver fat. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of MRI-PDFF in quantifying liver steatosis in a Medan population and its correlation with clinical and metabolic parameters.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on individuals residing in Medan, Indonesia. Participants underwent clinical assessments, laboratory tests, and MRI examinations, including PDFF measurements. Liver steatosis was categorized based on PDFF thresholds. Statistical analyses assessed correlations between MRI-PDFF and clinical parameters, including age, gender, BMI, liver function tests, and metabolic markers.
Results: 200 participants were enrolled. MRI-PDFF demonstrated a strong correlation with liver steatosis grades (r = 0.85, p < 0.001). PDFF values were significantly higher in individuals with obesity, metabolic syndrome, and elevated liver enzymes. ROC curve analysis revealed high sensitivity (88%) and specificity (85%) of MRI-PDFF in diagnosing liver steatosis at an optimal cutoff of 8.5% PDFF.
Conclusion: MRI-PDFF is a reliable and non-invasive biomarker for quantifying liver steatosis in the Medan population. Its strong correlation with clinical and metabolic parameters underscores its potential for risk stratification and monitoring treatment response in individuals with fatty liver disease.

I asked the question in my previous post. A computational mechanism revealed that AlCl  3  or its dimer Al  2  Cl  6  could catalyse a concerted 1,1-substitution reaction at the carbon of Cl-C≡N, with benzene displacing chloride which is in turn captured by the Al. Unfortunately the calculated barrier for this simple process was too high for a reaction apparently occuring at ~room temperatures.

The Willgerodt-Kindler reaction. Completing the Box set.
Authors: Rzepa Henry
Published: November 2023

These four posts (the box set) set out to try to define the energetics for a reasonable reaction path for the Willgerodt-Kindler reaction. The rate of this reaction corresponds approximately to a free energy barrier of ~30 kcal/mol. Any pathway found to be >10 kcal/mol at its highest point above this barrier was deemed less probable. The first three efforts at defining such pathways all gave such a result.

The prognostic and clinical value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in ovarian cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Zhang Zihan , Lang Jinghe
Published: November 2023

Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) is a major gynecological malignancy with varying prognosis. The Neutrophil-toLymphocyte Ratio (NLR) has been proposed as a potential prognostic biomarker. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic and clinical value of NLR in OC. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed following PRISMA guidelines, including studies that evaluated the association between NLR and survival outcomes in OC patients. Search was performed in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases. Quality assessment was done using Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Heterogeneity was assessed, and pooled hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated using fixed or random-effects models as appropriate. Results: Twenty studies involving various ethnicities, ages, and sample sizes were included. A high NLR was found to be inversely correlated with overall survival (OS) (HR= 1.21, 95% CI 1.09-1.34, P<0.001) and progression-free survival (PFS) (HR=1.20, 95% CI 1.03-1.38, P<0.001). Stratified analyses showed a stronger association in Asian patients, studies with smaller sample sizes, younger patients, and higher NLR cutoff values. Conclusion: The meta-analysis suggests a significant inverse association between NLR and survival outcomes in OC patients, emphasizing NLR's potential as a simple, cost-effective prognostic biomarker. However, substantial heterogeneity and influence of confounding factors underscore the need for further investigation.

Aquest article revisa el procés de gestació, entre desembre de 1947 i maig de 1950, d’Una antologia de la lírica nord-americana, d’Agustí Bartra. L’article dedica una atenció especial al paper que, en aquest procés, va tenir-hi Joan Roura-Parella (Tortellà, 1897 – Middletown, 1983), filòsof i pedagog exiliat als Estats Units i establert des de 1946 a la Universitat de Wesleyan (Connecticut). L’anàlisi de la correspondència inèdita entre Bartra i Roura-Parella ens permet afirmar que el filòsof fou qui proporcionà al poeta la idea del projecte de traducció. L’article es completa amb la transcripció d’una valuosa conferència inèdita pronunciada per Agustí Bartra a la Universitat de Wesleyan el mes de maig de 1950, que és el primer text de crítica literària que Bartra dedica a quatre poetes nord-americans: Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost i Carl Sandburg.
Sororidade e mito en Circe ou o pracer azul de Begoña Caamaño
Authors: Bermúdez Montes María Teresa
Published: November 2023

Este traballo céntrase na análise da novela Circe ou o pracer do azul (2009), de Begoña Caamaño, que integra e redeseña as relacións entre Penélope, Circe e Ulises, personaxes da Odisea, nunha recreación do clásico homérico desde unha perspectiva feminista. Esta reescrita transforma o relato a través da estratexia da creación revisionista de mitos (revisionist mythmaking) e incorpora nel a idea de sororidade como ferramenta de empoderamento. A obra concede o protagonismo a dúas figuras femininas contrapostas no poema homérico e na maioría das reescritas posteriores, Circe e Penélope, quen construirán unha fecunda e liberadora amizade mediante o diálogo. Circe ou o pracer do azul propón unha lectura alternativa do relato canónico, o que conecta a novela con outras recreacións contemporáneas en clave de revisionismo feminista dos mitos.

Supreme Judgecraft

Published: November 2023

In R (on the application of AAA (Syria) and others) the UK Supreme Court held that the Secretary of State’s policy to remove protection seekers to Rwanda was unlawful. Rwanda is not, at present, a safe third country. There are, the Supreme Court found, “substantial grounds for believing that there is a real risk that asylum claims will not be determined properly, and that asylum seekers will in consequence be at risk of being returned directly or indirectly to their country of origin.” Should this occur “refugees will face a real risk of ill-treatment in circumstances where they should not have been returned at all.” We argue that the Supreme Court’s legal reasoning and evidential assessment are both impeccable, applying legal principles that are well-embedded in international and domestic law to very clear evidence. However, the UK government’s responses are deeply troubling, from the perspectives of refugee protection, international legality, and the rule of law in the UK.

Effect of Bio-stimulant Application on Growth, Yield and Quality of Thompson Seedless
Authors: Sharma AK , Somkuwar RG , Upadhyay AK , Kale AP , Palghadmal RM , Shaikh J
Published: November 2023

Bio-stimulants offers a novel approach to enhance crop growth, quality and ultimately final yield of the produce. Nowadays, bio-stimulants containing Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed extracts and protein hydrolysates are increasing interest of scientists and farming communities. However, the potential of many of these bio stimulants products has not been fully exploited in grapes due to the lack of available scientific data. Grape growing under tropical conditions of India faces various type abiotic and biotic stresses. To support grapevine growth as well as yield and quality, bio-stimulant application can play an important role. Present experimentation was conducted at the farm of ICAR-National Research Centre for Grapes, Pune during the year 2020-21 with the objective to assess the effects of bio-stimulant application on growth, yield and quality of Thompson Seedless grapes. Different doses of bio-stimulant were applied on vines at different crop growth stages such as 3-4 leaf stage, pre-bloom stage and after berry setting, followed by two bunch dipping with varied concentrations. Among the different treatments T7 [RDF + 1.5 % (Spray: 3rd) + 0.2 % Bunch dipping (Stage 1) + 0.5 % Bunch dipping (stage 2)] found better in terms of bunch and berry quality parameters. Obtained results suggested that the application of bio-stimulant (Grade-I) affects vine growth, yield and quality of the Thompson Seedless grape in positive manner.

Published: November 2023

Grape is one of the major fruit crops of the country. Fifteen grape varieties were evaluated for raisin making and raisin quality. The average bunch weight was higher in Sundekhani (261.67 g) followed by Black Prince (220.00 g) while the variety Ribier recorded the lowest bunch weight of 112.33 g. The number of bunches was maximum in Thompson Seedless suggesting high fruitfulness. Amongst the different varieties, TSS ranged from 21.90 °B in Convent Large Black to 23.40 °B in Manjari Kishmish followed by 2A Clone (23.37 0B) and Thompson Seedless with 23.33 °B.

Published: November 2023

Assuming core (permanent) population to be vital to the maintenance of the village and rural life, this study investigates the population growth rate (PGR) of villages in Turkey. PGR is used as a dependent variable in the analysis, using a sample of 201 villages. The independent variables are ascertained through face-to-face interviews with village heads (mukhtars). Hypothesis tests, correlation analysis and econometric models are used to examine the development/decline trends of the PGR of the village. The results show that total land property of the village and land property per household are the strongest variables supporting the continuity of population. Agricultural income remains the biggest income item in most villages, and this increases according to land size. Beyond this, opportunities for paid work outside the village while living in it (extra-village employment) positively affect the rate of increase of the village population.

Published: November 2023

Polyester Staple Fiber (PSF) is an important synthetic textile fiber used in various industries, including apparel, home furnishings, and industrial textiles. Bangladesh, a developing country with a growing textile industry, has the potential to become a major producer of PSF. This journal manuscript presents an in-depth analysis of the scope, opportunities, and challenges of PSF production in Bangladesh. The scope of PSF production in Bangladesh is vast due to the country's low labor costs and availability of raw materials. Additionally, the government's support for the textile industry through incentives and infrastructure development provides further opportunities for PSF production. However, there are several challenges that need to be addressed, including the high cost of importing machinery and technology, the lack of skilled labor and technical expertise, and the need for investment in research and development. Moreover, environmental concerns related to the production process, such as waste management and energy efficiency, need to be addressed for sustainable development of the PSF industry in Bangladesh. The manuscript presents an overview of the current state of the PSF industry in Bangladesh, including production processes, raw materials, and export markets, as well as an analysis of the industry's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Overall, the manuscript highlights the potential of the PSF industry in Bangladesh for growth and development, provided the challenges are addressed and a strategic approach to the industry's development is taken. The manuscript concludes with recommendations for policymakers, investors, and industry players to promote sustainable and inclusive growth of the PSF industry in Bangladesh.

This research’s goal is to give a better understanding of the heart rate of dogs & humans, and how hearing affects the heart rate. According to the medical experts of Small Door Veterinary, nearly 10% of pet dogs develop heart failure causing more and more dog owners to be concerned about this issue. Also, research and studies from the doctors in Mount Elizabeth have shown how stress is one popular reason why people suffer from heart problems to anxiety (Abel, Kelvin and En, 2023). One example of what people do to relieve stress is by listening to music. Researchers at Stanford University have noted that music is something anyone can use and is a great stress-reduction tool (News Center, 2007). Colorado State College of Veterinary Medicine study has also revealed that easy listening music has a soothing, therapeutic effect on dogs and may mitigate stress (Classical Music Calms Shelter Dogs, New Colorado State University Study Says | News & Media Relations | Colorado State University, 2012). Our participants listened to 2 sets of music in each genre. Then checked the average heartbeat rate by using the PISCO nursing practice stethoscope. After an analysis on the average of the two music in each genre, it shows that songs that fall into the category of pop or rock increased the heartbeat of the dog compared to the average heartbeat after listening to calm genres such as jazz.
