Published: March 2023

Bu çalışmanın amacı acil sağlık çalışanlarının ücret tatmin düzeyi ve yaşam memnuniyet algılarını ölçerek her iki durumun beyin göçü niyetine etkisini incelemektir. Araştırma kesitsel tipte olup Nisan-Mayıs 2022 tarihleri arasında Balıkesir 112 acil sağlık hizmetleri çalışanlarıyla yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın evrenini Balıkesir 112 acil sağlık hizmetlerinde çalışan 750 sağlık profesyoneli, örneklemini ise 282 katılımcı (%37.6) oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın örneklemi %95 güven düzeyinde +/- %4.61 hata payı ile evreni temsil etmekte olup, örneklemin boyutu geçerli düzeydedir. Araştırmanın veri toplama aracı olan ölçek dört bölümden meydana gelmektedir. Birinci bölüm demografik değişkenlere yönelik önermeler, ikinci bölüm ücret tatmin ölçeği, üçüncü bölüm yaşam memnuniyet ölçeği ve dördüncü bölüm beyin göçüne yönelik tutum şeklindedir. Araştırmanın verileri SPSS 26.0 programında analiz edilmiş, verilerin çözümlenmesinde sayı, yüzdeler, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis Testleri ve post-hoc Bonferroni düzeltmesi uygulanmıştır. Değişkenlerin ilişkisinin incelenmesi için Spearman korelasyon katsayısı kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda acil sağlık çalışanlarının ücret tatmin düzeyi ve yaşam memnuniyeti algıları arasında orta düzeyde pozitif yönlü ilişki (r=,577) bulunurken beyin göçüne yönelik tutumlarıyla ücret tatmin düzeyi ve yaşam memnuniyeti algıları arasında zayıf düzeyde negatif yönlü ilişki (-,378, -,253) bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak acil sağlık çalışanlarının beyin göçü niyetini azaltmak için ücret tatmini ve yaşam memnuniyeti algılarının iyileştirilmesi gerekmektedir.

Land in the Torah as a Source of Christian Religious Education
Authors: Boiliu Noh Ibrahim , Sarjono Haryadi , Natonis Harun
Published: March 2023

The purpose of this article is to carry out a theological analysis of “land” as one of the important theological themes in the Old Testament. The approach used in this article is the deductive paradigm. Based on the results of the analysis of the theme of land theology in the Old Testament, the theological theme of the “land” refers to the land that belongs to God which was inherited (mahala) by Israel. The land became one of the prominent features of the series of stories and life in the Old Testament. Israel’s responsibility on YHWH’s land is to establish the Torah as a source of religious education. The paper recommends that any Christian that God places anywhere and in any field of work should strive to strengthen Christian teaching that is rooted in the Word of God as a source of teaching authority. It recommends that an understanding of “land” in the Old Testament should become the theological starting point in building the paradigm of Christian Religious Education.

The Collimation of Relativistic Jets in Post–Neutron Star Binary Merger Simulations
Authors: Pais Matteo , Piran Tsvi , Lyubarsky Yuri , Kiuchi Kenta , Shibata Masaru
Published: March 2023

The gravitational waves from the binary neutron star merger GW170817 were accompanied by a multiwavelength electromagnetic counterpart, which confirms the association of the merger with a short gamma-ray burst (sGRB). The afterglow observations implied that the event was accompanied by a narrow, ∼5°, and powerful, ∼1050 erg, jet. We study the propagation of a Poynting flux–dominated jet within the merger ejecta (kinematic, neutrino-driven, and magnetorotational instability turbulence-driven) of a neutrino-radiation-GRMHD simulation of two coalescing neutron stars. We find that the presence of a postmerger low-density/low-pressure polar cavity, which arose due to angular momentum conservation, is crucial to let the jet break out. At the same time the ejecta collimates the jet to a narrow opening angle. The collimated jet has a narrow opening angle of ∼4°–7° and an energy of 1049–1050 erg, in line with the observations of GW170817 and other sGRBs.

The genus is characterised by its thick, unstratified thallus composed entirely of soredia-like granules, the presence of 4-O-methylleprolomin, salazinic acid, zeorin and unknown terpenoid, and its phylogenetic position. The new combination,P. stephaniana(Elix, Flakus & Kukwa) Kukwa, Jabłońska, Kosecka & Guzow-Krzemińska, is proposed.
Contributions to Ecuadorian butterworts (Lentibulariaceae, Pinguicula): two new species and a re-evaluation of Pinguicula calyptrata
Authors: Pérez Álvaro J. , Tobar Francisco , Burgess Kevin S. , Henning Tilo
Published: March 2023

Comparatively few species of the insectivorous genus Pinguicula L. have been recognized in South America so far. In recent years, a number of narrowly endemic taxa from the Andes have been described that simultaneously refined the broad taxonomic concepts of the “historical” species. Here, we describe two striking new species from Southern Ecuador that further condense the circumscription of Pinguicula calyptrata Kunth. Pinguicula jimburensissp. nov. and P. ombrophilasp. nov. are clearly beyond the taxonomic scope of the known species and consequently described as new to science. The deviating morphological features of the two new taxa are described and illustrated and the remaining morphological spectrum of P. calyptrata in Ecuador is outlined. The two new species add to the exceptional biodiversity in the Amotape-Huancabamba Zone and underline its importance as a biodiversity hotspot in urgent need of protection.

Fertile and Fruitful Frisson: Raising the School Starting Age in Scotland
Authors: McNair Lynn
Published: March 2023

Since devolution, the Scottish Government has had powers for education and child family policy (The Scotland Act, 1998) which sit apart from England, Wales and Northern Ireland. This is the Scottish Government's great strength. This article begins by exposing the Scottish early learning
and childcare context across the spectrum of policy, curriculum developments, national improvements and the tensions that can exist when using a parochial lens to understand children's learning. It goes on to share a longstanding concern with the school starting age. In Scotland the school
starting age remains the same today as it did in the 19th century. With a single annual intake in August, children in Scotland can begin primary school at anywhere between 4.5 years and 5.5 years. Drawing from my doctoral dissertation Rules, rules, rules and we're not allowed to skip: listening
to children's voices about the transition to Primary One (McNair, 2016), I share data from interviews with parents about the age their child started school. This article ends by drawing from the Scottish Government's vision to raise the school starting age to six years old, rendering
the earlier age, of 4.5 years, redundant.
Promoting Equity Within Education Systems: Lessons from Great Britain
Authors: Ainscow Mel
Published: March 2023

Promoting equity is a policy challenge facing education systems throughout the world, not least in the United Kingdom where there are continuing concerns about the progress of learners from disadvantaged backgrounds. This paper draws on the experience of its author within a series of
large-scale government-funded improvement initiatives to address this agenda. These have illustrated how contexts shape the progress of such efforts. In particular, the paper explores how the different national contexts of England, Scotland and Wales have influenced the way that change-strategies
proceeded. Reflecting on the implications of these differences, the paper makes a series of suggestions as to how progress towards educational equity can be achieved.
Réseau social et évolutions de la famille au Japon : un nouvel examen
Authors: Piotrowski Martin , Rindfuss Ronald R. , Tamaki Emi , Choe Minja Kim , Tsuya Noriko O. , Bumpass Larry , Richou Camille
Published: March 2023

En utilisant les données des enquêtes nationales de 2000 et 2009 sur les conditions familiales et économiques au Japon, cet article examine la relation entre le fait de connaître une personne adoptant des comportements familiaux « innovants » – tels que la cohabitation, les rapports sexuels hors mariage ou le recours à des modes de garde formels des enfants par les mères qui travaillent – et les attitudes envers de tels comportements. Les recherches existantes sur ce sujet sont prolongées de deux manières : en ajoutant une composante longitudinale pour estimer un modèle à effets fixes qui contrôle l’influence de l’hétérogénéité inobservée fixe dans le temps susceptible d’être liée à la fois à la connaissance de l’entourage et à ses propres attitudes ; et en se concentrant plus explicitement sur les différences entre les sexes. On constate que, mises à part les caractéristiques inobservées fixes dans le temps, les changements d’attitude envers les comportements familiaux innovants sont sensibles à une modification de l’entourage adoptant ce même comportement ou un comportement lié. C’est la création de nouveaux liens sociaux qui amène les femmes à reconsidérer le mariage, jusqu’alors perçu comme la condition sine qua non d’une vie épanouie pour les hommes et les femmes.
Random periodic sequence of globally mean-square exponentially stable discrete-time stochastic genetic regulatory networks with discrete spatial diffusions
Authors: Wang Bin
Published: March 2023

This paper regards the dual effects of discrete-space and discrete-time in stochastic genetic regulatory networks via exponential Euler difference and central finite difference. Firstly, the global exponential stability of such discrete networks is investigated by using discrete constant variation formulation. In particular, the optimal exponential convergence rate is explored by solving a nonlinear optimization problem under nonlinear constraints, and an implementable computer algorithm for computing the optimal exponential convergence rate is given. Secondly, random periodic sequence for such discrete networks is investigated based on the theory of semi-flow and metric dynamical systems. The researching findings show that the spatial diffusions with nonnegative intensive coefficients have no influence on global mean square boundedness and stability, random periodicity of the networks. This paper is pioneering in considering discrete spatial diffusions, which provides a research basis for future research on genetic regulatory networks.
Pareto optimal filter design with hybrid $ H_{2} /H_{\infty} $ optimization
Authors: Ren Xiaoyu , Hou Ting
Published: March 2023

In this article, we study the Pareto optimal $ H_{2} $ /$ H_{\infty} $ filter design problem for a generalization of discrete-time stochastic systems. By constructing the estimation equation of the given systems with the estimated signal, a filter error estimation system is obtained. The aim is to obtain a gain matrix $ K^{\star} $ that optimizes both performance indicators we set. To deal with this problem, two different upper bounds for two performance indicators are given respectively. The optimal problem therefore is transformed into a Pareto optimal problem with linear matrix inequalities ($ LMIs $) which can be addressed through the $ LMI $ toolbox in $ MATLAB $.
Extraction of oil, carotenes and tocochromanols from oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) fruit with subcritical propane
Authors: Phan-Tai H. , Brunner G.
Published: March 2023

This work aims to screen the extraction of oil and bioactive compounds including carotenes and tocochromanols from oil palm fruit with subcritical propane and without using a cosolvent. The overall extraction curves of palm oil with subcritical propane were studied and compared to those extracted with supercritical carbon dioxide. Carotenes and tocochromanols were evaluated not only in the extracted oil, but also in the oil of residual fiber in order to calculate the efficiency to recover these valuable compounds. The experimental results showed that oil yield of up to 70 % could be obtained within 120 minutes with subcritical propane at 50 bar and a flow rate of 35 kg·h−1·kg−1. It was also shown that compressed propane is an excellent solvent for the extraction of oil enriched in carotenes and tocochromanols. Subcritical propane extraction can be used as an alternative process for the simultaneous recovery of these valuable minor components from palm fruit.
Federal capitals and national cultural institutions. Lessons for Brussels from the examples of Berlin, Brasilia, Canberra and Ottawa
Authors: Bouten Arnaud , Reybrouck Karel
Published: March 2023

Compte tenu de l’évolution constante de la Belgique vers une plus grande décentralisation des compétences, le statut futur des institutions culturelles fédérales à Bruxelles demeure incertain. Afin d’élargir le champ du débat politique, le présent article présente une comparaison des configurations institutionnelles des institutions culturelles nationales dans différentes capitales fédérales. Les cas de Berlin, Brasília, Canberra, Ottawa et Bruxelles sont examinés, l’accent étant mis sur la répartition constitutionnelle des compétences et sur les mécanismes de coopération entre les niveaux de gouvernement. Cet état des lieux montre que le gouvernement fédéral joue invariablement un rôle dans l’administration des institutions culturelles nationales dans les différentes capitales. En outre, dans la plupart des capitales, des mécanismes de coopération culturelle sont mis en place pour coordonner l’action fédérale et celle des entités fédérées. Sur ce dernier point, il semble que des améliorations soient possibles à Bruxelles.
Orientation, numérique et pandémie : expériences et points de vue rétrospectifs d’étudiants de licence 1
Authors: Daverne-Bailly Carole , Grenier Véronique , Li Yong
Published: March 2023

L’article porte sur l’expérience de l’orientation du lycée vers l’enseignement supérieur, dans un contexte de réformes éducatives et de pandémie. De l’analyse des données qualitatives et quantitatives recueillies auprès d’étudiants de licence 1, il ressort d’abord que les plateformes numériques mises à la disposition des jeunes sont pléthoriques, jugées utiles mais paradoxalement peu mobilisées, et ne préjugent en rien de la capacité à construire un projet d’orientation. Il ressort ensuite que l’utilisation de la plateforme Parcoursup cristallise les angoisses des élèves et des familles, en lien notamment avec un accompagnement décrit comme essentiellement procédural, un algorithme perçu comme opaque ou encore la crainte de faire des « mauvais » choix. Il ressort enfin que l’articulation entre orientation, numérique et pandémie est particulièrement fragile, les jeunes étant sensibles à un accompagnement personnalisé et en face-à-face. Nos résultats montrent que, dans un contexte donné, l’usage du numérique ne contribue guère au bien-être des jeunes et à la réduction des inégalités d’orientation.

Published: March 2023

This study analyzed, in the form of a case study, the experience of a large company (Mercur S.A) in the implementation of a new vision focused on sustainability. The target company is located in the south of Brazil, has almost a century of existence, and has been managed by the same family since its foundation. The study is based on the notions and concepts of corporate governance, ethics for sustainability, and social-ecological systems. The study shows that the changes implemented in the company are catalyzed by an initial change of the ‘inner change' type, and are disseminated by the company and the community through social and cultural innovations. Important changes in the economic vision and social and environmental responsibility related to the structure/architecture and operation of the company, as well as trade-offs between financial and social and environmental aspects, were identified.

Authors: Akbal Hazal , Doğan Nuri Özgür
Published: March 2023

Today's competitive elements aren't limited to the products/services produced and the presentation of these products/services to the customers. The issue of management of supply chains has also become an important element. The services offered in healthcare institutions focus directly on human life. Any disruption in the supply of materials and the provision of services will cause irreparable situations such as disability, deterioration in quality of life, and even death. Therefore, the healthcare supply chain function is important. Supply chain refers to the process of the right product from the right source, in the right quantity, from the supplier to the consumer. Today, it has been replaced by smart and lean supply chain applications integrated with smart technologies, which respond quickly to fluctuations in demand, eliminate waste and non-value-added elements at every stage of the process. In this section, the issue of supply chain in the health sector has been evaluated within the scope of Industry 4.0 and lean.

Published: March 2023

The devastating effects of climate change are undeniable and have grown more alarming over the past ten years. Most recently, eight weeks of heavy rain and flash flooding in Pakistan caused a disaster that affected over 33 million people. The World Health Organization (WHO) warns about serious public health hazards confronting the affected communities, including the possibility of further spreading water- and vector-borne diseases, including malaria and dengue fever. Pakistan's districts are still negatively impacted by heavy monsoon rains and unprecedented levels of flooding. This chapter aims to highlight the policies that local governments should adopt to deal with health issues raised by the flood. Furthermore, this chapter also recommends policies related to logistics and transportation which overcome health issues.

Variable Selection by Domain Experts vs. Filter Algorithms for Clinical Predictive Modeling
Authors: Gbaden Terlumun , Achir Jerome Aondongu , Atsa'am Donald Douglas
Published: March 2023

Studies on variable selection in the medical field have focused largely on algorithms with little attention paid to domain experts in this regard. This chapter compared the performance of domain experts with filter algorithms in variable selection for clinical predictive modeling. Five clinical datasets on bacterial survival, neonatal birthweight, breast cancer, diabetes, and myocardial infarction were employed. For each dataset, fifteen domain experts were requested to rank the importance of the variables on a five-point Likert scale. The same variables were ranked using four algorithms, namely, chi-squared, Fisher score, Pearson's correlation, and varImp function. Results of classification models showed that both methods performed competitively. This means human expertise and experience are important in clinical predictive modeling and must not be mortgaged to algorithms. Further studies should focus on developing automated platforms that codify domain knowledge and experience to facilitate real-time, speedy, and seamless variable selection.

Authors: Öztan Nail Burak , Kıyat Gül Banu Dayanç
Published: March 2023

High level of brand utility provides companies with a wide range of sustainable competitive advantages for their brands over their rivals in all walks of life. A good brand is rare, inimitable, and irreplaceable. Therefore, the concept of brand utility is quite precious and must be administered very well. When it comes to brand utility practice in real life situations, word-of-mouth can be one of the best ways to create and promote brand awareness to strengthen the reputation of a corporate effectively. This research reveals that word-of-mouth marketing emerges/pops up as top source or phenomenon for corporations which are exposed to strong rivalry in business. A survey was conducted to examine the causes and the effects of brand utility on word-of-mouth marketing. It was carried out on 657 patients in Turkey. It is found that brand utility affects the word-of-mouth marketing positively. The higher brand utility is, the less impact of negative word of mouth is. When the brand utility increases, so do positive and online word- of- mouth marketing activities.

A Multi-Agent-Based VM Migration for Dynamic Load Balancing in Cloud Computing Cloud Environment
Authors: Swarnakar Soumen , Banerjee Chandan , Basu Joydeep , Saha Debanjana
Published: March 2023

Cloud computing is the use of remote servers on the internet to store, manage, and process data. It is a demand-based service where users need to pay only for what they use. Cloud computing users are extensively distributed throughout the globe, so it is a big challenge to keep track of this huge data. Load balancing is the distribution of workloads in a smart way among multiple compute resources, like virtual servers. Compute resources can be added or removed from the load balancer according to the needs of the user. A load balancer is primarily used to optimize the use of resources, costs, and VMs, as well as to maximize throughput, reduce response time, and prevent overloading in various VMs. In this paper, multi-agent-based virtual machine migration has been proposed for dynamic load balancing in a cloud computing environment. The proposed algorithm shows better results in terms of makespan time, average response time, and data center processing time than other conventional cloud load balancing algorithms.

In the era of big data, the problem of information overload has become increasingly prominent. Recommendation systems are widely studied due to the problem. Due to the sparseness of data, the recommendation effect is not always ideal. To alleviate the problem of data sparsity, a singular value decomposition recommendation algorithm based on data filling is proposed. First, an improved Tanimoto similarity coefficient calculation method is proposed to calculate the similarity, and effective interpolation data is generated for the singular value decomposition model according to the proposed prediction formula. The experimental results show that when using the same dataset MovieLens100K, compared with several commonly used recommendation algorithms, the improved algorithm improves the prediction accuracy of the model, In the best case, RMSE is 10.1% lower than KNNBasic, 7.8% lower than Slope One algorithm, 6.9% lower than SVD algorithm, and 4.8% lower than SVD++ algorithm, verifying that this method can improve the recommendation quality.

Published: March 2023

The demand for natural gas (NG) in Thailand has been continuously increasing, but part of NG volume has not been distributed to customers locating far from the pipeline network. Therefore, NG is transported by trucks in liquid form called liquefied natural gas (LNG) to meet the demand. However, road transportation by truck causes many problems such as high transportation cost, low capacity, poor environmental conditions, and low safety. To solve these problems, the road-rail intermodal transportation is an option to distribute a large volume of LNG in long-haul transportation more efficiently. This research proposes an optimal planning for LNG logistics management in a case study where the problem is modeled as a mixed-integer nonlinear program to minimize the total logistics cost. The optimal solution includes the LNG distribution center locations, transportation mode(s), train loading service type, and truck type. Community safety using the LNG damage radius criterion is considered in the model as a constraint. The solutions resulting from three planning scenarios are compared and discussed.

Authors: Makoza Frank
Published: March 2023

This paper analysed how advocacy groups and consumers influenced government, telecommunications regulators, and mobile network operators to reduce the cost of internet data. The study used a case of Malawi as an example of a low-income country with high cost of internet. Transnational advocacy network theory was used to analyse secondary data from online databases, websites of regulatory organisations, online news, and social media posts. The findings showed that transnational advocacy network drew members from international, regional and local organisations. Consumers also participated in the transnational advocacy network. Information sharing was crucial in highlighting the high cost of internet data in the country. Local network actors used information, symbolic, leverage, and accountability politics to persuade government agencies, the telecommunications regulators, and mobile network operators to reduce the cost of internet data. The study provides insights into the understanding of issues related to internet data affordability in the context of a developing country.

Published: March 2023

The paper studies the geometric optimization and elastic moduli of Ca24Si22O52(OH)16(H2O)28 supercells with 28 water molecules embedded at different degree angles. The water molecule embedment in the supercell is performed by the molecule rotation about X, Y and Z axes to the required angle. It is shown that the position of water molecules significantly affects the internal energy, elastic properties and stability of the optimized supercell and the geometry of its crystal lattice. Supercells with water molecules embedded at 2, 4, 20, 80, 300, 354 and 356-degree angles are stable structures, and a supercell with water molecules embedded at a 20-degree angle turns to be much more stable. The refined structural parameters, lattice volumes, elastic moduli, and atom positions are determined for the geometrically optimized supercell states. Stable supercells can be included in Richardson’s crystallographic database with a view to use them as the reference standards in the Rietveld refinement of the structural properties of hydrated Portland cement with variable water content.

Currently, welding is the most efficient way for joining of plastic. Due to its rapid heating, efficiency in term of time and energy, and ability to be applied on components of any shape, microwave welding stands out from other welding methods. Additionally, SiCNWs was proposed as the microwave susceptor for the microwave welding of thermoplastic in this work due to its high dielectric loss and biocompatibility. To produce microwave welded joint, SiCNWs was first mixed with acetone to obtain a SiCNWs suspension. After that, SiCNWs was drop casted onto the targeted area of PP, allowed to dry and then microwave irradiated. In this work, the microwave heating time studied ranged from 15 s to 20 s. SEM and single lap shear test were used to characterise the microwave welded joint. From the findings, the tensile strength increased as the microwave heating duration increased from 15 s to 18 s, due to formation of SiCNWs/PP nanocomposite welded joint layer with increasing thickness. Yet, when the microwave heating time was prolonged to 20 s, the tensile strength decreased to 0.85 MPa. Besides, a void was observed at the welded joint and it is believed that the presence of void causes the welded joint to weaken when force is applied. Under properly regulated of microwave heating time, a strengthened nanocomposite welded joint can be produced which demonstrate great promise in plastic welding.
