KEPUASAN KERJA: APAKAH JENJANG JABATAN AKADEMIK MEMBUAT PERBEDAAN?
Authors: Aprillia Ariesya , Setiawan Rony , Magdalena Nonie
Published: July 2022

Kepuasan kerja dosen dipengaruhi oleh banyak hal dan hal ini dapat meningkatkan atau menurunkan kepuasan kerja mereka. Jenjang Jabatan Akademik merupakan salah satu prediktor untuk mengukur kepuasan kerja dosen. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji dan menganalisis apakah ada perbedaan kepuasan kerja berdasarkan Jenjang Jabatan Akademik. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah dosen di salah satu perguruan tinggi swasta di Bandung, pengambilan sampel memakai probability sampling dengan simple random sampling. Metode studi literatur, survei dengan kuesioner, wawancara, dan juga focus group discussion (FGD) sebagai metode pengumpulan data. Uji instrumen memakai uji validitas dan reliabilitas, serta analisis data memakai ANOVA. Simpulannya, ada perbedaan kepuasan kerja berdasarkan Jenjang Jabatan Akademik, semakin tinggi Jenjang Jabatan Akademik, semakin tinggi pula kepuasan kerjanya. Berdasarkan mean, kepuasan kerja Lektor Kepala sebesar 4.568, Lektor 4.038, Asisten Ahli 3.505, dan yang belum memiliki Jenjang Jabatan Akademik 2.673. Facet kepuasan kerja yang tertinggi dari Lektor Kepala yaitu mereka memiliki kesempatan untuk bekerja sendiri di tempat kerja, puas terhadap gaji apabila dibandingkan dengan jumlah pekerjaan yang mereka lakukan, dan kebebasan untuk menggunakan penilaian mereka sendiri. Secara keseluruhan, facet yang paling kecil nilai kepuasan kerjanya adalah kesempatan untuk menjadi “seseorang” di komunitas, maka saran bagi manajemen perguruan tinggi adalah melibatkan dosen dalam pengambilan keputusan, terutama aspek yang memiliki pengaruh langsung pada kinerja dan tingkat kepuasan mereka. Apabila manajemen perguruan tinggi melakukan hal ini, kemungkinan para dosen akan merasa bahwa eksistensi mereka dihargai. Hal ini dapat membuka jalan ke hubungan yang lebih berbasis kepercayaan antara manajemen perguruan tinggi dan para dosen. Bagaimanapun juga, kepuasan kerja para dosen akan menguntungkan semua pihak yang terlibat.

Changes in the food industry before and after COVID-19 and a survey on the perception of new food ingredients
Authors:   The Korean Association of Practical Arts Education, Kim Seohyun , Lee Sung-sug
Published: July 2022

This study analyzes data on changes in dietary life before and after COVID-19 from the food industry side, and surveys the perception of new food in the future food industry, for future consumers in their twenties. It was conducted to provide data.
As a result of the analysis of related words before and after COVID-19 related to the food industry, the main keywords before COVID-19 were startups, consumers, food, and artificial intelligence, and the food industry was related to the fourth industrial revolution and consumers. In addition, trends in food consumption such as HMR, home convenience food, and functional food were found. After COVID-19, the main keyword was COVID-19, and AI and big data related to startups, consumers, food, and the 4th industrial revolution were similar to before COVID-19. Keywords that stood out were meat substitutes, sustainable, just, protein, and food ingredients. Prior to COVID-19, HMR and home convenience meals were related to the food industry, but after COVID-19, alternative meat and sustainability have emerged. It can be seen that interest in new ingredients such as protein, just, food ingredients, and agricultural products has increased. This may be due to the increased interest in sustainability, environment, and animal welfare due to COVID-19. As a result of the perception survey on new ingredients, 68.7% of them were aware of new ingredients, 30.5% had experience with food products using new ingredients, and 68.7% were dissatisfied. 48.6% were willing to consume new ingredients, 35.3% thought that the new ingredient food industry was important, but 57.1% did not have any interest in the new ingredient food industry, so it was found that there is a need to raise awareness of the new ingredient food industry. For this purpose, education is needed on the importance of new ingredients for the environment and health, development of new ingredients, experiences with new ingredients, and sustainable eating practices in practical arts and sustainable diet education.

"The study of transformational processes in contemporary music art under the influence of the fine arts practices is one of the important problems of musical culturology and aesthetics. The study is topical because of the new efforts aimed at understanding and arrangement of the evolution of established aesthetic systems and experiments in music and fine arts in the 20th century and at the beginning of the 21st century, as well as their influence on modern practices of introduction of meaningful elements of painting, graphics, architecture, and multimedia technologies into music creation processes. The aim of the research was to identify current trends in music visualization through the arrangement and generalization of the experience of artists of the 20th — early 21st centuries, who used expressive arts, synthesizing one art into another in their musical compositions, as well as to identify the background of those synthetic ideas and ways to implement them. The scientific research established that the development of synthetic art has its roots in the disposition towards merging arts and versatility. The fine arts practices applied in music has contributed to the expansion and enrichment of artistic means and techniques and has entailed further complication of sound and visual components in the overall concept of the work. It is concluded that the individual creative and personal traits of the artist, who seeks to fully convey the multidimensional figurativeness of the work determine a significant impact on implementing fine arts practices in music. Prospects for further research of the evolution of fine arts practices and audio-visual media in music involve the development of description techniques in the context of the dominance of the visualization factor over music one in artistic perception, as well as the study of the impact of cultural technologization on contemporary music art. Keywords: music, visualization, fine art, artist, interconnection of the arts, synthesis, intermediality "

La Masacre de Trujillo: una aproximación a “la verdad” desde la memoria
Authors: Tobar Tovar Carlos Andrés , Palma Crespo Antonio David
Published: July 2022

La Masacre de Trujillo es una de las experiencias más escabrosas e infames del conflicto armado colombiano y también uno de los casos de estudio con los que comienza la reflexión colombiana sobre cómo narrar las violencias aludiendo a la palabra y la imagen provenientes del punto de vista de las víctimas, las cuales encuentran una oportunidad en el proceso actual de construcción de paz en Colombia, también conocido como postconflicto o postacuerdo. Este artículo analiza el modo en que se han consolidado relatos que ponderan una aproximación a “la verdad” de lo sucedido, asunto que no corresponde únicamente a una expectativa de objetividad, sino a una experiencia de orden simbólico en la que los procesos de comunicación tienen la capacidad de dotar a las víctimas de un lugar para la deliberación desde y a través de la fotografía. Para estos efectos, se ha realizado una compilación de material fotográfico mediante la cual se presentan las tensiones subyacentes entre la historia oficial y la memoria de los afectados.
El tiempo inconcebible. La fotografía como metáfora de la memoria en el arte contemporáneo
Authors: Luna Lozano Sergio , Martín Martínez Jose Vicente
Published: July 2022

El presente artículo estudia diversas prácticas artísticas contemporáneas basadas en la fotografía que pueden ser interpretadas como una representación metáforica de las imágenes del recuerdo y la memoria. Hemos diferenciado estas prácticas en dos ámbitos, realizando una breve contextualización histórica donde se analizan sus antecedentes para centrarnos posteriormente en los estudios de caso de diversos artistas contemporáneos. Así, el primer ámbito abarca obras en las que se produce un registro continuo y prolongado del tiempo a través de la fotografía, por lo que entendemos se relaciona con una experiencia persistente del pasado, e incluye el estudio de la obra de Michael Wesely, Hiroshi Sugimoto o Jim Campbell. El segundo ámbito corresponde con otro modelo fotográfico basado en la superposición y el promedio, donde ya no se reproduce una experiencia ininterrumpida, sino que se recrea un tipo de imagen genérica relacionada con una imagen arquetípica de la cultura medial, tal y como se revela en el trabajo de los artistas Corinne Vionnet o Jason Salavon. De esta forma, como veremos, ambas estrategias representan de distinto modo la experiencia de la memoria en cuanto registro de una temporalidad.
Laparoscopic Gastrectomy with ICG Guided D2 Lymph Node Dissection – A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Authors: Arabadzhiev A. , Popov Ts. , Sokolov M.
Published: July 2022

Radical surgery for gastric cancer remains the only reliable therapeutic tool and cornerstone for definitive treatment. With improving resectability, patients are given a better opportunity for long-term survival. Indocyanine green (ICG) is able to define more precisely the boundaries of the tumor in early and advanced gastric cancer. In addition, it can noticeably improve lymph node dissection and reduce the risk of subsequent complications. In this paper we present our experience with laparoscopic gastrectomy together with a review of the available literature.
Personalised Оne Step Melanoma Surgery and the Outdated/Current Guidelines for Surgical Treatment of Cutaneous Melanoma: Facts and Controversies

Published: July 2022

One step melanoma surgery (OSMS) is an innovative, personalized approach to the surgical treatment of cutaneous melanoma, which not only follows the total resection fields recommended by AJCC and EJC, but also has a significant advantage over these guidelines; namely, conduction of the procedure within a single surgical session. Guidelines for personalized surgical treatment of cutaneous melanoma can be used at any stage of the disease. The ideal purposes/goals of these newly introduced guidelines are to reduce the number of locoregional and distant recurrences and to stop the advancement of melanomas in a subsequent stage. In contrast to the histology, which under AJCC/EJC guidelines determines the extent of the subsequent or second surgical intervention, the leading starting points for personalized one step melanoma surgery are completely different and based on a complex final assessment, including: 1) clinical and dermatoscopic characteristics in favor of cutaneous melanoma, 2) preoperative ultrasound determination of tumor thickness, and, if possible, 3) the conduction of confocal microscopy. Another important and innovative proposal of the newly created OSMS guidelines is the requirement of absolute reciprocity between the preoperatively measured and subsequent histopathologically established surgical margins. The lack of such reciprocity under previously established guidelines (AJCC/EJC) till the present moment seriously calls into question the reliability of the data shared in the medical field concerning the size of resection fields. Three patients with suspected melanocytic lesions are presented and the applicability, advantages, and disadvantages of the personalized one step melanoma surgery versus two step melanoma surgery (AJCC/EJC) are discussed.
Late motherhood and spatial aspects of late fertility in Slovakia
Authors: Šprocha Branislav , Fitalová Anna
Published: July 2022

Shifting childbearing to later reproductive ages is reflected in all European populations. Late motherhood also changes, from the point of view of parity structure, since nowadays, the beginning of reproductive pathways is increasingly realised at the age of 35 and over more often. The regional dimension of this phenomenon is significantly overlooked, however. The main aim of this paper is to explore how the level and the impact of late motherhood has changed from a spatial perspective. We use Slovakia as a case study population characterised until the end of the 1980s by an early beginning of reproduction and its concentration in the first half of the reproductive period, and by relatively significant socio-economic, cultural and demographic differences. At the same time, we point out the changes in late motherhood in terms of parity structure. Finally, through linear regression models, we try to identify which of the selected factors may condition the differences in share of late fertility and the significance of first births at advanced reproductive ages.
Development of supportive characteristics to facilitate learning from strategic alliances
Authors: Lehene Cosmin Florin
Published: July 2022

In this paper, we aim to find answer to a single question: what are the characteristics of firms with superior use of alliance learning practices? Consequently, we aim to discover the characteristics of firms which are more preoccupied to learn from their strategic alliances. We investigate this research question through a statistical analysis of the answers provided by 46 best performing medium and large-sized companies operating in Romania. By means of several multilinear regressions and an analysis of variance, we found that the companies with superior use of alliance learning practices – thus, more preoccupied to learn – are more proactive, build an alliance culture favouring the use of alliances, develop relational attributes in their alliances (e.g., trust), respectively monitor and control their alliance activity to a higher degree. Contrary to expectations, the companies with superior use of alliance learning practices do not collaborate to a higher degree horizontally, with their competitors and complementors. In terms of the dispersion of companies depending on their use of alliance learning practices, to a high degree (34.1%), the differences between companies can be explained by the proposed set of characteristics developed in this paper. Our findings contribute to the existent literature in the field of alliances, bringing empirical evidence on the characteristics that companies need to develop to better learn from their strategic alliances. In addition, executives of medium and large-sized companies find in this paper valuable information regarding the nurturing of alliance knowledge acquisition and transfer from their strategic allies and partners.

Published: July 2022

As COVID-19 had been posing unprecedented challenges, the economic agents as well as the individuals had to adapt to a new lifestyle. The preventing measures against the spread of the virus determined an increase in e-commerce activity in general, and in mobile commerce in particular. In this regard, sellers redefined their strategies revolving around smartphone applications for online shopping, which will gradually become the global shopping standard. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to evaluate the current situation of e-commerce, focusing on the main transformations since the beginning of the pandemic. The methods used in the paper consist in both qualitative research of the literature regarding e-commerce and a quantitative analysis that captures two aspects: on one hand it highlights the change determined by the pandemic in online commerce, and on the other hand it shows an X-ray of the EU states positioning in terms of e-commerce evolution. The latter consists in a comparative Hierarchical Cluster Analysis that aims to provide an image on the situation of EU states, before and after the pandemic has been installed. The Cluster Analysis was carried out in SPSS software and it is based on a series of chosen indicators from Eurostat database. This comparison provides an image of how changes among the clusters take place in terms of e-commerce indicators. It is noted that in countries where the digitization was more developed, the value of the change in online commerce was less considerable, comparing to the Eastern and Balkan states, which had a more significant increase. However, there are significant limitations based on the small number of indicators taken into consideration in this paper. Future work needs to be done in order to explore new ways to address the challenges identified in the development of e-commerce and online shopping.
A Comparison of Variational Projection and Cartographic Projection by Ritz’s Method
Authors: Ábrahámová Andrea , Vajsáblová Margita
Published: July 2022

The application of alternative mathematical methods in creating cartographic projections is an interesting factor, which affects the optimization of distortions and their distribution in the projected territory. This article presents the methodology for the creation and comparison of conformal cartographic projections formed by alternative mathematical methods of minimizing the integral criterion for scale distortion in Slovakia. The creation of the variational projection is based on the Airy-Kavraiskii criterion of evaluating the projection on the displayed area by solving Laplace's equation. The second projection is created by solving Poisson's equation using Ritz's method. Our analysis showed that the variational projection of Slovakia achieves more satisfactory distortion values than the cartographic projection created using Ritz's method. The advantage of Ritz's method is that it is possible to choose a boundary condition for a predefined undistorted convex closed curve. In this paper, we have also derived specific members of the map equations for cartographic projection based on solving Poisson's equation by Ritz's method.

Determinants of Corporate Pay-Out Policy and the Moderating Effects of Firm's Growth: Evidence from Pakistan
Authors: Hussain Haroon , Md-Rus Rohani , Al-Jaifi Hamdan Amer , Hussain Rana Yassir
Published: July 2022

This study investigates the determinants of dividend pay-out of listed firms in Pakistan from the year 2011 to 2015. The focus of the study is the life cycle theory of dividends, agency theory and signaling theory. Corporate governance indicators, firm efficiency and cash flow volatility are the main determinants used in this study. This study also includes eight corporate governance indicators namely insider ownership, ownership concentration, institutional ownership, board independence, board size, CEO duality, audit committee independence and remuneration committee. It is found that ownership concentration, institutional ownership, CEO duality, firm efficiency and cash flow volatility are the significant determinants of dividend pay-out in Pakistan. It is also found that growth opportunities significantly moderate the impact of ownership concentration, institutional ownership, CEO duality, firm efficiency, cash flow volatility on the dividend pay-out. This research is among the pioneer studies which examine the impact of firm efficiency on dividend pay-out. Likewise, the study is among the first attempts to incorporate growth opportunities as moderating variable in the relationship between corporate governance indicators, firm efficiency and cash flow volatility with dividend pay-out. Results show that the management of an efficient firm pays a high dividend to increase its reputation in the market. Furthermore, the negative signaling effect of dividend omission may not exist for efficient firms. It implies that efficient firms at their growth stage may also skip dividends.

Introdution: Zoonosis are infectious diseases transmissible from vertebrate animals to humans under natural conditions. The infectious agents involved include bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi and rickettsia, among others. Case Presentation:A 13 year-old female teenager, presented with frequent epistaxis, pale mucosae and palpable hepatosplenomegaly on examination and history of contact with a neighbor's sick dog. Laboratory tests showed anemia, thrombocytopenia, mild hepatic dysfunction and negative serologies. Abdominal ultrasound showed moderate hepatosplenomegaly.Normal myelogram, bone marrow aspirate with positive leishmania PCR and peripheral blood positive leishmania IgM/IgG (ELISA), with negative leishmania PCR.Therapy with liposomal amphotericin B was iniciated, with progressive clinical and analytical improvement. Conclusion: Visceral Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease, caused by infection with Leishmania parasites. Human and animal reservoirs are key elements in the transmission chain.
Assessing cross-reactivity in allergen immunotherapy
Authors: Weber Richard W.
Published: July 2022

Knowledge of patterns of pollen cross-reactivity is crucial for formulation of immunotherapy vaccines. As phylogenetic relationships have become better clarified through the use of tools such as gene sequencing, it is apparent that cross-reactivity reflects taxonomy in the vast majority of cases. Contradictory observations of unexpected cross-reactivity between distantly related plants require explanation. There are many proteins, presumably performing vital functions, tightly preserved throughout the evolutionary tree from plants to animals. Examples are profilins, lipid transfer proteins, and pathogenesis-related proteins. These may function as panallergens. The small differences that exist between these ubiquitous proteins may explain why these are frequently minor allergens, not reacting in the majority of allergic sera. This article summarizes cross-reactivity from older studies using crude pollen extracts as well as newer research of purified or recombinant allergenic proteins. The patterns of cross-allergenicity that emerge should be helpful in guiding therapeutic decisions.
Theoretical and Experimental Study For Laminar Forced Convection Heat Transfer Through Acicular Cross Section Channel and Heated Under Constant Heat Flux
Authors: Jasim Atalah Hussain
Published: July 2022

This research concerned with theoretical and experimental study of forced convection through circular cross section channel that is horizontally arranged and heated under constant heat flux. The theoretical part delt with numerical solution for momentum equation of one dimension and energy equation of tow dimension by used of finite difference at variable grid size in vertical direction at gradient pressure between (103-106) The energy equation used implicit method and marching process to find the value and distribution of temperature through this channel. This model have been compared with another that have variable permeability and porosity and show that the change in permeability and channeling phenomena have significant effect on increase of rate of heat transfer and also increase in Nusselt number to 30% and also show show that the increase in gradient pressure is variant with rate of heat transfer ,but this variant disappear in thermal fully develop region. In experimental part testes was carried out for three value of Peclet numbers (17,25,40) with change of amount of power supply for each number. The results show hat the increase rate of heat transfer cause increase of Nusselt number and also show good agreement between theoretical and experimental results especially at low Nusselt number and also show there is deviation of experiential result from the theoretical result at high Nusselt number about 20%.
Héracles cómico: a caricatura do herói épico
Authors: De Faria Rui Tavares
Published: July 2022

Durante séculos perviveu a imagem do herói configurado por virtudes guerreiras. O modelo homérico é seguido e enaltecido e a tradição cristalizou-o. Héracles veste os ideais que a poesia épica glorificou e constitui um exemplo de heroísmo a imitar e a cantar. Na comédia Rãs, Aristófanes, conhecedor do retrato convencional de Héracles, dos seus traços físicos e dos acessórios que o identificam, volta a colocar este herói diante de um espelho deformante, criando-lhe uma espécie de clone, à semelhança do que a tradição cómica vinha fazendo. O comediógrafo converte Héracles, um herói épico, num herói cómico, deformando-lhe os traços distintivos que o singularizam no panorama do heroísmo clássico, e desdobrando-lhe a personalidade. Todo este processo de subversão assegura a caricatura do heroísmo.
O significado poético das fontes nas Argonáuticas de Apolônio de Rodes
Authors: Bustos María Natalia
Published: July 2022

Este artigo estuda o significado metapoético das três fontes que aparecem nas Argonáuticas, a de Jasão e a de Hilas, no livro I, e a de Héracles, no livro IV. Propõe ser necessário relacioná-las, tendo-se em conta a posição de cada uma delas no poema. A fonte de Hilas simboliza a forte dependência das Argonáuticas da poesia homérica: Hilas sucumbe na fonte, como os imitadores de Homero não logram se desvincular de seu modelo. A segunda fonte, a de Jasão, indica o caminho que os argonautas devem tomar para criar sua própria obra, marcado pela piedade em relação aos deuses e a inovação quanto ao material homérico. Este caminho poético se alinha aos princípios da poética calimaqueana. Finalmente, a terceira fonte, a de Héracles, mostra como os argonautas alcançaram sua própria identidade poética, graças a seu próprio esforço, mas sempre reconhecendo e honrando Homero como inspiração. Esta inspiração poética é representada na figura de Héracles.

The article presents for the first time the data on the species diversity of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in the western part of the Stanovoy Range located on the border between Amurskaya oblast and Yakutia. Totally, 27 species in 11 genera, 10 tribes and five subfamilies were found in the headwaters of the Bolshiye Tuksani River. Most species of ground beetles live in high mountain tundra at an altitude of 1700–1900 m; 7 species were found in larch forests, and only two species of the genus Nebria are associated exclusively with pebbles along the banks of the river.

"Le français c’est une langue qu’on ne connaît jamais parfaitement" Idéologies linguistiques et auto-identifications des personnes issues de l’immigration
Authors: Prikhodkine Alexei
Published: July 2022

Cet article examine l'incidence de la trajectoire sociale des migrants sur la propension de ces derniers à se déclarer francophones. Les résultats montrent que les autoidentifications ne sont pas le fruit du seul bon vouloir des individus: ils tiennent compte de la légitimité de leur positionnement par rapport aux définitions dominantes des catégories sociales. Le discours justifiant la difficulté à se reconnaître en tant que francophone tend à varier selon la génération des migrants. Si l'illégitimité des compétences en français est invoquée par les migrants de la première génération, c'est l'illégitimité sociale qui est mise en avant par ceux de la deuxième génération. Les résultats font apparaître que deux conditions sont nécessaires pour s'affranchir du poids de la définition dominante du terme francophone. La première est d'avoir suivi une trajectoire sociale non entachée de discriminations ethniques. La deuxième est une remise en question par les locuteurs d'un certain nombre de croyances idéologiques pour aboutir à un dépouillement de la notion de langue de connotations ethniques.
