Published: September 2024

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the impact of oral and dental health status on the self-esteem levels of Turkish university youth. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study included a sample of 962 Turkish university youth, aged 16 - 24, who met all the study criteria during the 2020 - 2021 academic year. Data were collected using a questionnaire and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). The data were analyzed with SPSS version 23.0. T-tests were used for pairwise comparisons, and one-way ANOVA was used for multiple comparisons. Results: Among the students who participated in the study, 56.7% were found to have high self-esteem, with a mean RSES score of 1.69 ± 1.62. Statistically significant differences were found between the RSES score and several factors, including decayed teeth (P < 0.01), presence of halitosis (P < 0.01), tooth color (P < 0.01), crooked teeth (P = 0.045), and toothache (P = 0.008). It was determined that dental crookedness, decayed teeth, bad breath, dark yellow teeth, the presence of tooth fillings, and extracted teeth were negatively associated with self-esteem. However, no statistically significant differences were found between self-esteem and factors such as the presence of tooth fillings, extracted teeth, tooth brushing habits, frequency of dental visits, or snack food consumption (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The results of this study reveal that poor oral care negatively impacts individuals' self-esteem. Issues related to oral and dental health, particularly concerning the appearance and condition of teeth, affect young people's relationships and self-confidence in social environments. It is crucial to develop family and school education programs, as well as national policies, particularly during childhood and university years, when attitudes toward oral and dental health are being established.
Minimal Prime and Semiprime Submodules
Authors: Al-Masroub R.M. , Fiadh Mahmood S.
Published: September 2024

Prime and semiprime submodules are important generalizations of prime and semiprime ideals to module theory over commutative rings. However, minimal or smallest prime/semiprime submodules have received comparatively less attention. This paper furthers the theory of minimal prime and minimal semiprime submodules through several new directions. After formally introducing these concepts, we establish characterization theorems for minimal prime submodules based on intersections of primes and associated primes. A complete structure theory is also developed for minimal semiprime submodules, allowing their description up to isomorphism.
We introduce prime and semiprime operators which stably preserve primeness properties between modules. Results on the persistence of minimal primeness of submodules under such operators are proved. Connections of our minimal semiprime characterization back to classic ring theory are highlighted, recovering past results on minimal prime ideals. Overall, this paper significantly expands the foundations of minimal prime and semiprime submodules, while opening up many new questions at this nexus of module and ring theory.
Carbon Sequestration Through Forestry: A Differential Equation Approach
Authors: Kasim Shahreen , Ghassan Mona
Published: September 2024

Carbon sequestration through forestry represents a promising approach to partially counteract anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change. Tree growth naturally removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, storing it as biomass. Sustainably managed forests can effectively function as carbon sinks. However, determining optimal forestry policies involves balancing complex ecological dynamics with economic constraints. This study develops differential equation models quantitatively capturing forest growth, timber harvesting, and carbon sequestration dynamics. Logistic models are first adapted to simulate biomass accumulation of representative tree species. Lifecycle growth patterns spanning juvenile to mature phases are incorporated, along with climate effects. Biomass levels are proportionally related to carbon dioxide removal rates from the atmosphere. Deforestation impacts are analyzed by incorporating harvesting-induced biomass reductions. Sustainability constraints are implemented to ensure minimum viable tree densities across harvest rotations. Optimization techniques then identify management guidelines maximizing economic returns given ecological stability considerations. The goal is providing quantitative insights into rotation lengths, planting densities, and allowable cuts upholding both climate change mitigation and commercial demands. Findings can inform science-based forestry policies to leverage forests as sustainable natural carbon sinks.

Authors: MARCISZAK Adrian , Brigitte HILPERT undefined , AMBROS Dieta
Published: September 2024

The mustelid assemblage from Hunas is represented by seven species: Gulo gulo gulo (Linnaeus, 1758), Meles meles (Linnaeus, 1758), Lutra lutra groissii Heller, 1983, Martes martes (Linnaeus, 1758), Mustela putorius Linnaeus, 1758, Mustela erminea Linnaeus, 1758 and Mustela nivalis Linnaeus, 1766. Most species have been found in the G1-G3 complex, while their remains in other layers are rare. The guild is dominated by remains of Mustela nivalis, for which well-preserved and stratified material shows a large, robust weasel, with a notable predominance of males. The morphology of Mustela nivalis, together with the occurrence of Lutra lutra (Linnaeus, 1758), allowed us to estimate the age of the horizon at MIS 7.

Reframing Ethics as Design and Decision Making: Introduction and Overview of Applied Ethics for IDT
Authors: Moore Stephanie L. , Dousay Tonia A.
Published: September 2024

Although ethics featured prominently in early literature in the instructional design and technology (IDT) field, as represented by classics curated by Ely & Plomp, it has been a long-neglected area of scholarship. More recently, however, we are witnessing a great expansion of work in this area, as scholars raise attention to issues such as data rights and privacy, accessibility, and even societal impacts of educational technologies such as systemic inequities, erosion of personal rights, and environmental impacts both from energy consumption and from over-sold hardware with toxic components ending up in landfills. In this collection, we seek to center the work of many scholars exploring various aspects of this multi-faceted topic as essential to the work we do as professionals – both as professional scholars and as professional practitioners. We also seek to encourage broader future scholarship and support the integration of ethics into IDT curricula and training through an open collection. Finally, we also seek to encourage an approach to ethics that is not an over-simplified dichotomy of “right” and “wrong” but rather as dimensions of the IDT design process and inherent in the problems and projects we work on, requiring quintessential IDT skills of analysis and synthesis to devise solutions that account for a range of impacts of professional practice. To that end, we have invited authors whose work extends scholarship on IDT ethics and focuses on the ethical considerations, including the social impacts, of our work.

Published: September 2024

Taming the power of online platforms has become one of the central areas of the European Union's policy in the digital age. The DSA increases the accountability of very large online platforms and very large search engines by introducing an auditing system. The audit process as defined by the DSA risks producing counterproductive consequences for the European policy objectives. From a constitutional perspective, the outsourcing of competence and decision-making from public to private actors articulates a system of compliance and enforcement based on multiple centres of power.

Authors: Bwabo Maulid Hussein , Ma Zhiqiang , Li Mingxing
Published: September 2024

Effective organizational structure and culture are vital in shaping corporate dynamic capabilities, enabling microfilms to adapt and thrive in dynamic environments. It is curious that the previous studies diverge in conceptualizing the condition strategy of organizational culture and structure on the relationship between corporate dynamic capabilities and sustainable performance. Thus, this study advances structurization and culturalization in the empirical domain of microfirms. The aim of this study is twofold; first to examine the direct effects of knowledge sharing and sensing capability on sustainable performance, and second, to describe the moderation effects of organizational culture and structure in the relationship between sensing capability and knowledge sharing in shaping sustainable performance. The study is grounded on 602 employees of the dairy industry in Tanzania to test the conceptual research model constructed under the lens of KBV. We used the conditional process analyses and tested the study’s hypotheses. The findings affirmed conditional direct effects that sensing capability and knowledge sharing have positive significant effects on sustainable performance at a specified level of organizational culture and structure. Moreover, moderation analysis confirmed that organizational culture and structure dampen the relationship between knowledge sharing and sensing capability on sustainable performance. This study shed new light on the necessity of structurization and culturalization among employees of microfirms in emerging economies such as Tanzania.

Background and Aims: Regarding the choreography of Wushu routines, the Chinese Wushu Association's "Basic Explanation of Wushu Routines" points out that, with the development of society, people's values and functions of Wushu are changing. Each Wushu action is linked together to form a dynamic and continuous picture, which shows its fascinating charm and high aesthetic and ornamental value. The purpose of this study was to design and choreograph Wushu movements for Wushu Daoshu competitions.
Methodology: This study was quasi-experimental method. The samples included 30 Wushu school senior class students, 9 Wushu routine experts, and 9 Wushu judges. Through expert interviews, simulated competition, and practice, the routine movements of the top 16 athletes in the 2021 National Wushu Routine Championship were analyzed, and then the Wushu movement arrangement and training plan of the Wushu Daoshu competition were designed, with an IOC value of 0.74. To confirm the efficiency of the Wushu choreography, the training experiment will be conducted with the students, and a simulated competition of Wushu Daoshu will be conducted with the students before and after the experiment. The results of the scores before and after the experiment will then be compared to determine the effectiveness of the designed Wushu movement choreography through a t-test.
Results: Wushu Daoshu set arrangement can be divided into three main parts: (1) the basic Daoshu skills must be selected (2) a set of technical combinations of movements (3) jumping difficulty movements, which set of technical combinations of movements is an important basis for the arrangement of the set. The results of the designed Wushu movement choreography in the Wushu Daoshu program were scored by a Wushu referee and compared between the pre-and post-trial scores, and the results showed that the training of the researcher's designed Wushu movement choreography in the Wushu Daoshu program was effective in obtaining higher scores in Wushu Daoshu program competitions.
Conclusion: The average score gap between the two groups is more obvious. The Wushu movement choreography in the Wushu Daoshu competition designed by the researchers is effective, and it can achieve higher results in the Wushu Daoshu competition.

O percentual da população idosa na sociedade tem aumentado cada vez mais nos últimos anos e estima-se que até o ano de 2025 esta população chegue até cerca de 1,2 bilhões de pessoas acima de 60 anos no mundo. E no envelhecimento acontesse uma regressão nos sistemas fisiológicos, e consequentemente são mais comuns nesta fase da vida à falta de atividade física, a perca de massa muscular gera uma diminuição da força muscular por consequência. A diminuição de força está diretamente associada à saúde e qualidade de vida desse público. Então o objetivo deste estudo foi comprovar a importância do treinamento resistido para reduzir os efeitos prejudiciais que acabam por levar esse puplico avo à sarcopenia. O estudo foi realizado através de pesquisas literarias, costituídas de artigos cientificos do cielo e Googleacadêmico, visto que permitem e abrange uma gama de casos muito mais ampla, verificou-se que o exercício resistido possibilita liberdade e bem-estar e consequentemente melhorando a qualidade de vida do idoso, precavendo na maneira do possível os efeitos danosos que acabam por levar essa população à sarcopenia.
A recepção de James Baldwin no “Caderno de Sábado”, do jornal Correio Do Povo
Authors: Soletti Mariana
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo busca analisar o artigo “James Baldwin: Aqueles que todos conhecem”, escrita pelo crítico Joseph Epstein (1937-) e traduzido para o português para o jornal Correio do Povo, de Porto Alegre, mais especificamente para o “Caderno de Sábado”, suplemento cultural do veículo, de 8 de março de 1969. Para discutir algumas obras literárias que aparecem na resenha, trouxemos as próprias como referência, assim como bibliografias complementares como Morrison (2019). Pretende-se entender como a recepção de James Baldwin no Caderno de Sábado trouxe à tona as questões raciais para a realidade brasileira, que vivia no período mais pungente da Ditadura Militar (1964-1985), ou seja, era uma sociedade que urgia por cultura e conscientização em âmbito sociocultural. Portanto, a relevância deste trabalho é de entender o lugar de James Baldwin na literatura norte-americana como difusor de ideias que podem ser traduzidas, literalmente, para todo o mundo.
Impact of Corporate Governance and Capital Structure on Firm Performance: A Case of Public listed Companies
Authors: Kathayat Ramesh , Khan Ghulam Mujtaba Ahmad , Awan Fayyaz
Published: September 2024

This study investigates the intricate relationship between corporate governance, capital structure, and firm performance in the context of listed firms. A quantitative research approach was employed, utilizing data that includes Return on Assets (ROA), leverage ratios as indicators of capital structure, and corporate governance variables such as board composition, executive compensation, and regulatory compliance. Regression analysis was conducted, accounting for control variables such as firm size, industry sector, and macroeconomic conditions. The results indicate a positive relationship between corporate governance and ROA, suggesting that stronger governance mechanisms are associated with higher profitability, consistent with findings from previous studies. Conversely, the analysis reveals a negative relationship between capital structure and ROA, indicating that higher leverage is linked to lower profitability, thereby supporting the pecking order theory. However, the study's methodology presents certain limitations, including reliance on cross-sectional data, the potential for omitted variable bias, and limited generalizability within the Pakistani context. While the findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, practitioners, and scholars in the fields of corporate finance and governance, caution should be exercised when generalizing these results to countries with different institutional contexts and market structures.
Learning while Walking the Streets of Rayong: Combining Linguistic Landscape and Language Awareness through Action Research with Children
Authors: Bangkom Kusuma
Published: September 2024

This paper presents the outcomes of an action research study that implemented a linguistic landscape (LL) unit as an English language learning activity at the secondary school level in Rayong, Thailand. The theoretical framework employed in this study draws upon Lefebvre’s (1991) conceptualization of space, adapted for pedagogical purposes as explained by Malinowski (2015). The study places particular emphasis on cultivating students' awareness of the LL in their neighborhood throughout a six-week instructional session. The instructional activities were designed to investigate the potential of LL in enhancing English language acquisition and promoting cultural sensitivity. Data collection involved the utilization of questionnaires and on-site observations. Two main conclusions may be drawn from the action research project's findings. First of all, the students showed signs of a greater sense of familiarity with their neighborhood, which suggests that they are more aware of the LL around them and that they understand LL to be a useful instrument for language learning. Secondly, the students identified a discrepancy between the LL of Rayong and the city’s vibrant economic activity as well as its diverse ethnic and linguistic composition, suggesting that the existing LL does not adequately reflect these dynamic facets of the city.
With a Little Help from my Friends: Integrating Self-directed Peer Learning to Improve Word Problem Completion in Developmental Math

Published: September 2024

This mixed-methods study assesses the impact of a self-directed peer learning intervention intended to alleviate known bottlenecks in engaging developmental math students with word problems. Our findings suggest that self-directed peer learning, in which students areprovided autonomy in choosing with whom they consult, has the potential to significantly strengthen students’ ability to shift from written to mathematical representations as well as decrease anxiety and increase positive engagement in mathematics education as a whole. Implications for overcoming similar bottlenecks outside of mathematics are discussed.
Diagnostic yield of combined ACR TI-RADS and Sonoelastography in solid thyroid nodules in tertiary care center: A prospective cross-sectional Study
Authors: Dhakal Saubhagya , Katwal Shailendra , Paudel Sharma , Yadav Birendra Kumar
Published: September 2024

Background: Thyroid nodules are prevalent, and accurate differentiation between benign and malignant nodules is crucial for management. We aim to evaluate the effectiveness of combining Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TIRADS) scoring with strain elastography, specifically the Elasticity Contrast Index (ECI), to differentiate between benign and malignant thyroid nodules.
Methods:  This analytical cross-sectional study involved 77 patients with solid thyroid nodules identified through B-mode ultrasonography. ACR TI-RADS scores, ECI values, and combined scores were compared with Fine needle aspiration Cytology (FNAC) results. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS, and Pearson correlation tests were conducted to assess the correlation with FNAC findings.
Result: The TI-RADS scoring system has a sensitivity of 83.3%, a specificity of 66.1%, and a positive predictive value of 42.9% for distinguishing benign and malignant nodules. Strain elastography with ECI values has a sensitivity of 94.4%, specificity of 98.3%, PPV of 94.4%, and NPV of 98.3%. Combining ACR TI-RADS and strain elastography achieves a sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 66.1%, NPV of 100%, and PPV of 47.4%.
Conclusion: The study emphasizes the benefits of integrating noninvasive methods like ultrasound elastography and ACR TI-RADS for improved diagnostic precision, minimizing invasion and patient discomfort. This strategy is particularly advantageous for TI-RADS 3 nodules and reduces unnecessary procedures. However, FNAC should be reasonable and validated for higher classifications.
