Authors: Sánchez Carlos Alberto , López Steven , Alvarez Orley , Kassis Elias Naim , Trajano da Silva Ricardo William
Published: April 2022

Introduction: In the context of implantology and osseointegration for the stabilization of dental implants, the use of ILIB (Intravascular Laser Irradiation of Blood) to stimulate tissues, cells, and molecules at the systemic level stands out. In this sense, ILIB can be used with postoperative applications in the osseointegration and stability of dental implants. Objective: Conducted a concise systematic review of the main findings of using the ILIB to improve dental implant practices. Methods: The research was carried out from May 2021 to June 2021 and developed based on Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar, following the Systematic Review-PRISMA rules. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results: A total of 58 studies were analyzed, with only 10 medium and high-quality studies selected, according to GRADE rules, and with risks of bias that do not compromise scientific development. After analyzing the major studies, it was analyzed that, with the use of ILIB, several bone regeneration factors can be promoted and optimized for implant dentistry. Other authors have shown that ILIB therapy has oral sterilization properties, facilitating tissue healing after surgical procedures and the osseointegration process for placement of stable implants. Despite this, low-intensity laser irradiation may have limitations, as it requires specific dosimetry and few published studies on the use of ILIB in Dentistry. Conclusion: Literary findings point to the safety and efficacy of ILIB in dental implant treatments. The ILIB power is included as an eligibility criterion equal to other low power lasers. Furthermore, ILIB enables local and systemic treatment, optimizing the benefits of its use by dentists, mainly to improve the stabilization of osseointegrated implants and prevent or eliminate contamination.

Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT: Evolving infectious diseases have been a reason for significant worldwide threats to health of human beings. In most cases, humans are unintentionalhosts of an infectious cycle sustained by animal hosts, comprising insects as well. The rise of new contagious ailments such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), pandemic influenza and HIV/AIDS has revealed the susceptibility of humans to novel zoonotic health emerging intimidations. These infections are initiated by many different pathogenic agents. According to an estimate about 50 % of the approximately 1000 species of pathogens that are prominent in livestock and pets are zoonotic in nature. In past 60 years, many developed countries have effectively controlled zoonotic diseases through expensive public investments, easing synchronized involvements, comprising ''test and slaughter,'' feed prohibitions, massive vaccination of livestock and wildlife, education, health, and milk pasteurization processes. These are extremely effective approaches of eradicating zoonotic diseases which necessitate important, effective,legal, and economic insurances. Main purpose of this mini review article is to highlight the origin and control of pandemic zoonotic diseases which are the demand of time and need of the present era.

Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT: Endometritis is causing great economic losses every year not only because of medication but also because of prolonged and increased calving period. The studies on prevalence / incidence are scarce which otherwise are essentially required to develop different control and treatment strategies. The objectives of this study was to determine incidence / prevalence of endometritis with regards to milking status and Month / Season wise in crossbred cows. The study was conducted on the crossbred cows belonging to four dairy farms located at Lahore and surrounding areas. Young stock cows fit for breeding (2-4 years old), adult milking cows and adult non milking (dry) cows were three understudy groups. Four hundred animals of each group were examined every month for a period of one year. Endometritis cases were identified through clinical signs (Less pregnancy rate / infertility, loss of appetite, depression, dehydration, vaginal discharge and dullness), Vaginal/uterine swab, colour and odour of vaginal discharge and measurement of cervical diameter. Overall Endometritis incidence was found highest (1.72 %) in Milking cows followed by Dry Cows (1.00 %) and lowest in Young Stock Cows (0.94 %). The highest incidence was observed during summer season in all three classes of cows whereas the lowest was during winter with the exception of in Milk group where the lowest incidence was observed during spring season. The study may provide useful information to evolve effective control measures and treatment of endometritis in crossbred cows.

Authors: Supriatna Encup
Published: April 2022

The purpose of this study was to analyze the community's social behavior in responding to the scarcity of cooking oil using the phenomenological point of view developed by Alfred Schutz. This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological framework approach because it focuses on exploring the experience and meaning of phenomena to gain learning in a multicultural society. This study uses two types of data: primary and secondary data. Preliminary data were collected through interviews with five people through a random purposive sampling method, while secondary data were collected through literature studies. The research was conducted in January 2022. According to Alfred Schutz, phenomenological analysis demands the discovery of the world that follows what is experienced by the person concerned. The meaning is divided into several views, and some subjects interpret the phenomenon of panic buying as caused by the actions of the oligarchs who are not in favor of the community, as an indicator of the government's lack of seriousness in balancing market prices in the community, or also interpreted as another effect of the pandemic which has disrupted the economic sector.

Authors: Lipuma James , Leon Cristo
Published: April 2022

New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), a four-year polytechnic R01 research university in the United States utilized a participatory strategic planning process to implement an innovative approach to the modes of delivery for instruction that exist between face-to-face and online instruction. NJIT defines the spectrum of integration of online and on-ground instruction as Converged Education. This spectrum allows students to either participate face to face, join remotely through real-time video conferencing technology synchronously, or watch classroom instruction asynchronously. The article opens with a general background of NJIT's approach to the new idea of converged instructional delivery. It provides a brief history, context, and explanation of its interdisciplinary participatory strategic planning process. Then the paper describes the process of pilot testing that was conducted to determine how best to adopt the new modes of instruction across all disciplines. Next, the process for defining and clarifying the terms and conceptions of the various modes to be adopted is presented. After this, the paper discusses the impact of the shift of Web 1.0 to web 6.0 and how the different departments and sectors of NJIT worked on strategic planning together. Finally, the resulting implementation of the new policy and its reflection in course offerings is shown and discussed.
Software Methodologies and War Strategies
Authors: Tudose Cătălin
Published: April 2022

Innovation is permanent in all fields of human activity. Strategy and tactics adopted by one discipline may be used to communicate through disciplines or may be transposed and adapted in other fields. The contemporary activity of software development brought to emerging different methodologies that exercise their influence to other fields and may be applied in other disciplines. On the other hand, as people showed the highest inventiveness in attacking and conquering others, the basic military notions are used across disciplines. Adapting the attacking and war strategies to different fields resulted naturally. The article will examine the trans-disciplinary communication through the Agile incremental methodology and similarities between its application in software development and adopting it in different fields. We'll analyze how to transpose to other fields Agile concepts as adding business value and getting to the business goals, conducting the work the incremental and non-incremental way, and how the basic concepts from Agile are used beyond their original creation, through other disciplines. The article also analyzes war strategies and the possibility to apply them to other disciplines, with extended references to one of the most renowned military treaties, Sun Tzu's The Art of War. We'll investigate what things as initial estimations, attack by stratagem, tactical dispositions, energy, weak points, and strong points, maneuvering, variation in tactics, the army on the march, terrain, arriving on unknown ground, concrete situations on the ground, the use of spies or the attack by fire may mean to communicate across disciplines.

Published: April 2022

Online learning is a growing phenomenon in higher education (Chem, Home, Florell, & Thomas, 2002; Reagan, Evmenova, & Baker, 2014). This study explored the COVID-19 pandemic's influence upon undergraduate university students' decisions to take courses in a traditional in-person format or an online-only format, an issue that has impacted education around the globe (Besser, Gordon, & Zeigler-Hill, 2020). Understanding this issue is a growing convern during the COVID-19 pandemic and understanding it has implications for future K-12 and higher-eduacation online enrollment projections for the future. The study utilized a survey with multiple-choice questions and the opportunity for participants to select "other" and write their own answers. The survey also included open-ended questions soliciting participant beliefs on the advantage and disadvantes of online-only learning formats. The results of this study indicate that students take online-only classes for many reasons, including the need for a more flexible schedule, the ability to work at their own pace, the physical distance from the university, and, in 2020, concerns about health and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: April 2022

Arabic language is a challenging subject yet worth to learn it. As for non-Arab students, it is difficult for them to learn Arabic language without support such as self-determination and effective instruction especially those who are not a native speaker. The study aimed to determine the way to sustain Arabic language learning among secondary school students through motivation and teaching effectiveness. A simple model consisted teaching effectiveness, motivational beliefs and self-regulated learning also shown to explained the result. This study uses quantitative design through survey method. A total of 542 non-Arab students from several secondary schools in Malaysia were selected using stratified random sampling techniques. Students’ Evaluation of Teaching Effectiveness Rating Scale (SETERS) and Motivational Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) through Motivational Beliefs Scale and Self-Regulated Learning Strategies Scale were used as an instruments. A multiple and hierarchical regression was conducted for data analysis. Furthermore, a structural equation model also derived to strengthen the result by showing an indexes fitting the model. The findings showed that teaching effectiveness and motivational beliefs significantly influence self-regulated learning in Arabic language learning. The best predictor for self-regulated learning is the intrinsic value, test anxiety, self-efficacy and teachers’ delivery of subject information. The findings also show how self-regulated learning can improve and empower the Arabic language learning in Malaysia. This study has indicated an important implication for teachers to improvising teaching methods and for students to motivate them-self in order to catalyze self-regulated learning to improve Arabic language performance.
BILINGUALISM AND CULTURAL IDENTITY: EXPLORING TEACHER AND STUDENTS’ USE OF CODE-SWITCHING IN CULTURAL EXPRESSIONS
Authors: MANGILA BENJAMIN
Published: April 2022

This qualitative research was conducted to investigate how the teacher and students’ cultural identities are discursively constructed and revealed by code-switching in an English language classroom. It made use of the critical ethnographic approach to studying language use guided by Fairclough’s (1992) Critical Discourse Analysis. The findings of the study revealed that both the teacher and students utilized code-switching during class interactions not only to express their linguistic backgrounds but their cultural identities as well. Transcripts of the class discussion also revealed that the teacher and students’ use of code-switching during class interactions was related to relevance of the topic discussed or question asked, familiarity of context presented, and one’s perceived attachment to a particular cultural group. Furthermore, emotion, context, and group membership were the factors that strongly influenced the teacher and students to use code-switching in the expression of their cultural identities during the class interactions.

Published: April 2022

It is not a debate that economic development and its sustainability are hinged on creativity and innovation, which are the defining features of entrepreneurial education. As a result, this paper's objective has been pursued theoretically by reviewing various government policies on education position of entrepreneurship development in the Malaysia and ASEAN countries. This study also assumed that, if entrepreneurial education is to be used to define the country’s developmental efforts towards a sustainable future, the focus must be on the youths, to whom the future belongs. Therefore, even with the fact that certain policies on education in universities emphasize skills, vocational and technical education, the need for real orientation of concerned institutions towards building entrepreneurial mindset is in the youths. In this study certain theories on entrepreneurial education and development are considered, while often-encountered challenges of entrepreneurial education and their way out are highlighted. On the basis of this and other ancillary discourses, policy implication and recommendations are raised for consideration. These include, among others, a call on all relevant authorities to make a fresh commitment towards entrepreneurial development by refocusing the education policy towards entrepreneurial eliciting programs.

Published: April 2022

As in many other developing countries, the generation of pharmaceutical wastes in Malaysia has increased significantly over the last few years. Pharmaceutical wastes are the unwanted materials which can no longer be used in the manufacturing processes that can eventually be harmful to the living beings in the ecosystem. Even though the severe impact of pharmaceutical wastes is significant, however only minor attention is given to the pharmaceutical reverse logistics. Hence, this study seeks to investigate the associated factors which affect the implementation of pharmaceutical reverse logistics in Malaysia. The data are collected using questionnaire that contains both closed- ended and multiple-choice questions. Questionnaires are administered to respondents from medical service centres sampled on a convenience basis. A total of 400 samples were collected, and the data are analysed using the Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Multiple Linear Regression. Overall, the Cronbach’s Alpha score was 0.880 . As a result, the findings indicated that all of the independent variables such as costs, personnel, lack of coordination and government have a significant relationship with the implementation of pharmaceutical reverse logistics. Lastly, the outcomes of this study are expected to help the medical service centre to improve the handling and disposal of pharmaceutical wastes in an effective, efficient and environmental friendly way.

This study focusing on the social interactions between the European community and the communities in North Borneo during the era of the British North Borneo Company from 1881 to 1941. This study identifies the interrelated factors between the European community and the communities in North Borneo. This study is specific to social interaction between European community with Chinese, Indians, Muruts, Dusun and Sulu’s people in North Borneo which began when these group was given the opportunity to hold positions in the British administration. Based on primary and secondary sources obtained from archives and libraries, the findings of the study found that the beginning of the relationship between the European community with the communities mentioned above is as soon as they work as subordinate workers. After that, the officials followed a lifestyle of the middle class in Europe as revealed by European administrative officials serving in North Borneo. They are not only exposed to the lifestyle of European officials’, but also the image and prestige. However, what limits the social interaction between the European community and the community in North Borneo is the cultural differences and social position in society. Therefore, this study would like to see the role of European community associations and clubs in North Borneo as it can improve the relationship between the European community and the community in North Borneo because, these associations and clubs not only accept non-European members, but also organize sports and leisure to all races, religions and genders. Therefore, this study would like to see the social interaction between the European community and the community in North Borneo which can be seen not only based on their relationship in clubs and associations as well as the relationship of European men and women in North Borneo.

Malaysia will be one of the old countries by 2030. Aging population occurs when the percentage of the elderly population exceeds the percentage of the young population in an area, state or country. In Malaysia, 6.73 percent of Malaysia's population is comprised of people who are mostly in the age of 65 years and above. However, the year 2020 has shown that the state of Perak has become an old state. The percentage contribution from the population aged 65 years and above is higher in Perak, than Malaysia, with the percentage of 11.9 percent of elderly population in 2020. The main objective in this writing is to analyze the aging trends of the population in Perak and to examine the issues and effects of aging population. This study has used secondary data collection methods, namely data from the Department of Statistics Malaysia (JPM), United Nations and other related articles. Perak has become the third eldely state, after Johor and Selangor in 2020. However, due to this escalation, several issues have arisen such as the needs for financial resources to accommodate the elderly, rising health costs of the elderly and labor shortages. Thus, this situation will cause some serious effects on the national economy and also directly on the individuals.

Published: April 2022

International Reports announced that Malaysia's commitment in reducing low carbon emission to overcome environmental problems is inconsistent, where the commitment is considered to be slow or uneven, although various initiatives such as tax exemptions and financial funds are provided by the Malaysian government to manufacturing companies. Empirical studies suggested that the weakness of the company's leadership or the lack of highly skilled workforce in GMP have become one of the key problems. Therefore, this study intends to examine organizational and individual factors in influencing GMP's implementation, as well as evaluating whether servant leadership plays a significant role in GMP implementation as a mediator. The initial results revealed that factory managers indicated organizational factors as the most influential factor in motivating manufacturing companies to implement effective GMP in Malaysia, specifically proactive communication. Meanwhile, individual factors is indicated as the second influential factor in motivating manufacturers implement GMP in Malaysia. In addition, servant leadership mediated the relationship between both factors in implementing effective GMP, providing new knowledge for researchers and other industrial players in Malaysia. Nevertheless, further analysis is required in order to provide more empirical evidences on this research.

This paper aimed to discuss the physiographic characteristics of India due to its diverse geographical features by using a systematic search and collection of publications and secondary data. The characteristics of India's physiography were discussed descriptively and visually. This study highlights the fundamental physiographic divisions, sub-divisions, and socioeconomic functions of each type of terrain in India, including the northern mountain range, northern plains, peninsular plateau, coastal plains, and islands (the eastern and western coastal plains, Andaman and Nicobar islands). This overview concluded that the physiography of India is complex, heterogeneous and could be categorized into four divisions with distinct characteristics. In detail, the Himalayan Range is a mountainous region in the northern part of the country which produced by the fold mountain processes. Meanwhile, the Indo-Gangetic Plain was well recognised for its extensive agricultural activities contributed by the Ganges River. India's diverse landforms had a profound impact on the country's cultural and economical development. On the other hand, this study also demonstrated that the plateau region in the country's southern and central regions was geographically diversified. The different landscapes of India influenced the socioeconomic characteristics of the Indian society and consequently supported national development of India.

The situation is always complicated when a religious, cultural and political majority and minority, both are involved in the act of blasphemy or accusation of blasphemy in a specific situation. From the perspective of safeguarding the rights of minorities this can be further classified into two categories. First, a majority community member commits the act of blasphemy against a minority, and second are minority community member is wrongfully accused of committing blasphemy against the majority religion, cultural values or political philosophy. Every instance of blasphemy involving a minority class affects the society more than where only majority class is involved. This paper is a brief overview of human rights’ violation of religious minorities in India, Indonesia and Pakistan in context of blasphemy and blasphemy laws. It is the need of time that these countries should adopt proper legal and social measures to address the grievances of religious minorities, especially Christians in Pakistan, Ahmadis in Indonesia, and Muslims in India.

Authors: Saliya Abdela Yasin , Dogukanli Hatice
Published: April 2022

There are various theories regarding the secret of dividend preference over other alternatives. The most notable of these dividend theories is the agency theory. Dividends play a vital role in mitigating agency costs between shareholders and managers.

Authors: Sancovschi Moacir , Goulart Canongia Marco Aurélio , Coutinho e Silva Adolfo Henrique
Published: April 2022

O objetivo deste estudo é analisar as informações contábeis e financeiras apresentadas pelas Instituições Financeiras Públicas Federais (IFPFs) e apresentar o potencial da adoção da divulgação combinada dos demonstrativos, de modo a fornecer uma informação adequada e transparente sobre a atuação e o desempenho do Governo Federal no setor bancário. Adicionalmente, são analisadas as informações sobre segmentos de negócios e sobre transações entre partes relacionadas divulgadas pelos bancos públicos. Dentre os benefícios esperados, a divulgação de informações combinadas possibilitará: (1) fornecer aos gestores públicos uma informação mais apropriada para a tomada de decisões estratégicas de planejamento e controle da atuação governamental no setor financeiro; (2) ampliar a interação e integração, bem como auxiliar na melhoria da governança corporativa das IFPFs; e (3) ampliar a transparência de informações contábeis-financeiras, permitindo que a sociedade em geral possa melhor avaliar os resultados globais alcançados pela atuação bancária do governo federal.
A Participação Social importa na Qualidade da Gestão Pública? Um Estudo sobre a Efetividade da Gestão Pública dos Municípios da Região Metropolitana de Salvador-Bahia
Authors: Oliveira Ramos Magno , Damasio de Carvalho Silva Maria Valesca , Freitas de Cerqueira Anderson Jose , Ferreira Froes Queiroz Kaline
Published: April 2022

A pesquisa objetiva verificar se a qualidade da gestão pública, medida através do Índice de Efetividade da Gestão Municipal (IEGM), pode estar relacionada com a participação social medida a partir do quantum de Conselhos Gestores de Saúde e de Educação dos municípios da Região Metropolitana de Salvador, no período de 2015 e 2016. A amostra foi formada pelos 12 municípios da RMS. O IEGM é ferramenta útil para os Tribunais de Contas, para as equipes de fiscalização e para o próprio gestor. A pesquisa é descritiva, exploratória e quantitativa. Os resultados indicaram que o quantitativo de reuniões dos conselhos municipais de saúde (i-Saúde) e educação (i-Educação) não influencia o IEGM. Mas a quantidade de reuniões do conselho de saúde aponta capacidade de influenciar de forma positiva o índice específico da área de saúde. Os resultados apontaram que a efetividade da gestão e o fomento dos conselhos gestores independem do porte do município.

La actualización poética y política de Nietzsche en la rebeldía trágica de Camus
Authors: Conill Jesús
Published: April 2022

El artículo expone la innovadora visión de la rebeldía que aporta Camus inspirándose en Nietzsche y en algunos mitos de la cultura griega. Se centra especialmente en El hombre rebelde y El mito de Sísifo, que constituye su punto de partida, en la medida en que la rebeldía es el camino para salir del mundo cerrado que genera el «sentimiento de lo absurdo». En el peculiar pensamiento de Camus se entremezclan literatura y filosofía, conformando una filosofía poética como la de Nietzsche. Y la interpretación más adecuada de sus figuras literarias de la rebeldía es la que conecta con el sentido nietzscheano de lo trágico. La rebeldía en la obra de Camus ofrece un orden de sentido favorable a la vida en medio del caos, lo cual la vincula a la posición de Nietzsche, al situarse «más allá del nihilismo» pasivo, que es el que produce la vivencia del absurdo y la tendencia destructiva de la vida. El «renacimiento» que supone el sentido moral de la rebeldía en Camus le separa de la filosofía existencialista.
La presencia del nietzscheanismo en la biopolítica contemporánea
Authors: García-Granero Marina
Published: April 2022

La filosofía de Nietzsche anticipó notablemente el umbral de la modernidad biológica al conceptualizar el alcance fisiológico de la moral, la política y la religión, así como su instrumentalización con fines de control social. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el estímulo que ha representado la filosofía de Nietzsche para algunos de los principales pensadores de la cuestión biopolítica, en concreto, Michel Foucault, Roberto Esposito y Peter Sloterdijk, y desvelar en qué medida sus núcleos conceptuales convergen y divergen. La aportación concreta reside en señalar algunos de los vínculos que articulan el tema de la disciplina y la cría (Zucht und Züchtung) con la configuración de la biopolítica como una de las principales corrientes filosóficas actuales, analizar las interpretaciones que dichos pensadores han formulado sobre la cuestión de la Züchtung y resaltar así la capacidad heurística de la filosofía nietzscheana para el diagnóstico de nuestro presente.
Nietzsche y las teorías «queer»: sobre la crítica como filosofía del futuro
Authors: Quejido Alonso Oscar
Published: April 2022

Este artículo recoge de manera esquemática las principales conexiones e influencias entre el pensamiento de Friedrich Nietzsche, por una parte, y las posiciones sostenidas por las teorías queer, por otra. Teniendo en cuenta que la influencia nietzscheana sobre estas se señala en pocas ocasiones de manera directa, y que en gran medida la filosofía de Nietzsche les llega por vía de los pensadores posestructuralistas, el texto trata de buscar lugares comunes tomando como punto de partida el carácter crítico de ambas propuestas. Desde los presupuestos críticos con la metafísica de la sustancia hasta el inmoralismo, pasando por la patologización del criminal, el artículo realiza un recorrido, sin pretensiones sistemáticas, por algunas cuestiones que permiten concluir que el pensamiento de Nietzsche es un antecedente imprescindible de las teorías queer.
