Challenges and Rewards of Engagement with Academia and the Wider Community
Authors: Corbett Rebekah
Published: January 2021

The Committee on the Administration of Justice (CAJ) is one of Northern Ireland’s leading human rights organisations fighting for political and social change. In this interview, Mr Brian Gormally discusses the difference between ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ law, and how his organisation applies legal theory to the lived experience of Northern Irish communities in its work. In outlining some of the CAJ’s recent projects – such as its Model Implementation Bill for the Stormont House Agreement – Mr Gormally describes successful working relationships with academia, politicians, civil society and members of the community. It is also noted that the CAJ engages with the community in a specific and strategic way; rather than targeting the general public, the organisation produces information and research for those with their hands on the levers of power. Nevertheless, Mr Gormally identifies some striking differences in public attitudes towards human rights between England and Northern Ireland, and praises the community sector in the Republic of Ireland for crafting personal and anecdotal narratives to help win the same-sex marriage referendum. Finally, Mr Gormally describes the benefits and challenges of working closely with academia, concluding that such collaboration feels natural and has resulted in long and successful relationships with local academic institutions.
Pragmatic analysis of CNN Headlines on US Pakistan relations
Authors: Rustam Rabiah
Published: January 2021

Current study investigates the pragmatic devices used in CNN headlines on US Pakistan relations. The study argues that in addition to the news coverage, headlines also have pragmatically encoded meanings. The research is quite significant as the representation of US Pak relations in media has rarely been studied. Moreover, the selected period ranging from January 2010 to May 2011 covers a series of important on diplomatic ties with the United States of America. All these events were subject to constant media debate, especially on CNN, a news channel available to two billion people worldwide. Quantitative as well as qualitative descriptive methods were applied to analyze and discuss the news headlines. The results indicate that Osama Bin Laden, militancy in Pakistan and US Pak diplomatic ties were commonly found topics in the headlines. The results also indicate that the representatives are the most frequently found illocutionary acts in the data as compared with the expressives, directives and commissives. The study finds that the headlines have variety of other illocutionary functions closely related to these acts.
[ MANTIQ AND CONTEMPORARY FAITH ISSUES] ILMU MANTIK DAN ISU AKIDAH KONTEMPORARI
Authors: Musa Razali , Wahab Muhammad Rashidi , Azmi Mohd Faizul
Published: January 2021

Logic is the knowledge related to the methods of logical thinking in dealing with thinking errors. It sets out the systematic steps that need to be taken to reach a decision and avoid getting caught up in thinking mistakes. Scholars of the past have used the methods of Mantik knowledge to repel attacks of thought that try to confuse the beliefs and beliefs of Muslims. The Islamic faith remains strong and intact to this day, despite being threatened by various deviant thoughts of Jews, Christians, Atheists and others. Therefore, based on the rules set by Mantik scholars in the discussion of definitions, this paper tries to apply a selected contemporary issue, which is related to the use of the word Allah swt by non-Muslims. Through the method of content analysis, the study found that the truth of the use of the word Allah swt by non-Muslims will create confusion in endless thoughts and polemics. In fact, it does not coincide with the rules of Mantik knowledge that have been agreed upon by the scholars.

Mantik merupakan ilmu yang berkaitan kaedah-kaedah pemikiran logik dalam menangani kesalahan berfikir. Ia menetapkan langkah-langkah sistematik yang perlu diambil bagi mencapai sesuatu keputusan dan mengelak daripada terjebak ke dalam kesalahan berfikir. Ulama silam telah menggunakan kaedah-kaedah ilmu Mantik untuk menolak serangan-serangan pemikiran yang cuba mengelirukan akidah dan pegangan umat Islam. Akidah Islam tetap kukuh dan utuh sehingga hari ini, walaupun diancam oleh pelbagai pemikiran menyeleweng Yahudi, Kristian, Ateis dan lain-lain. Oleh itu, berdasarkan kaedah-kaedah yang ditetapkan oleh ulama Mantik dalam perbincangan takrif, makalah ini cuba mengaplikasikan satu isu kontemporari terpilih, iaitu berkaitan penggunaan kalimah Allah swt oleh bukan Islam. Menerusi kaedah analisis kandungan, kajian mendapati bahawa kebenaran penggunaan kalimah Allah swt oleh bukan Islam akan melahirkan kecelaruan dalam pemikiran dan polemik yang tiada kesudahan. Malah ia tidak bertepatan dengan kaedah-kaedah ilmu Mantik yang telah disepakati oleh para ulama.

Insights into Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Additively Manufactured PLA Samples Triggered by Automotive Industry Demands
Authors: Motoc Dana Luca , Draghicescu Horatiu Teodorescu , Florea Daniela , Preda Ion , Ispas Nicolae
Published: January 2021

Paper explores the influence of the infill density (%), as a process parameter in additive manufacturing (3D printing), upon the mechanical (tensile, impact) and thermo-physical properties of PLA samples. The results indicated degradation of both tensile strengths and moduli with decrease of samples� relative density from 100% to 25% with 49.9% and 42.0%, respectively. Similar behaviour holds on impact strength values that degrades with 56.0% for the samples printed using a 25% infill density. The Young�s modulus variation with relative density values was approximated using a 3rd order polynomial function, in accordance with the expression for closed-cell thick edge rhombus cellular structures. All PLA samples revealed small difference on their coefficients of linear thermal expansion, irrespective of their infill densities, with a decrease of 6.34% in the lowest relative density value specimens, indicating enhanced stability within selected temperature range. Glass transition temperatures were approximately located at 65�C whereas cold-crystallization around 80�C, thus unaffected by selected process parameter.

Published: January 2021

The study is highlighting the possibility of modeling the properties of composite materials based on recycled polypropylene (PPR), flour feathers(FF), and compatibilizers (C). The composite materials with 10% and 20% feather flour content were mixed and processed with a two-stage extruder having four heating zones between 200-230�C, in order to obtain granules. The granules were injected in various forms to evaluate the properties. The composite materials have been evaluated for determination of melt flow index (1900C; 2.16kg), density, Charpy impact, breaking strength, elongation at break, and the dielectric behavior. The results showed that the introduction of feather flour in the polymer matrix based on PPR leads to decreased flow properties as well as physical and mechanical properties. The solution in solving these deficiencies was to use compatibility agents, that would improve these properties. The physico mechanical properties were analyzed in order to identify a composite with optimal properties for industrial application.

Circularly polarized luminescent systems fabricated by Tröger's base derivatives through two different strategies
Authors: Qian Cheng , Chen Yuan , Zhao Qian , Cheng Ming , Lin Chen , Jiang Juli , Wang Leyong
Published: January 2021

The Tröger's base derivative rac-TBPP was synthesized and separated into two enantiomers R2N-TBPP and S2N-TBPP by chiral column chromatography. These compounds show a strong circularly polarized luminescence with glum values of +0.0021, and −0.0025, respectively. The second way to fabricate the rac-TBPP-based CPL-active material is to co-gel the fluorescent rac-TBPP with a chiral ᴅ-glutamic acid gelator DGG by co-assembly strategy. At the molar ratio of rac-TBPP/DGG = 1:80, the glum value of the co-gel was about three times higher than the glum values of R2N-TBPP and S2N-TBPP enantiomers. Interestingly, the CPL handedness of the rac-TBPP/DGG co-gel could be adjusted effectively by changing their stoichiometric ratios.
A Case Report: Rare Presentation of Intracranial Hemorrhage post Guillain Barré Syndrome
Authors: El Halabi Sarah , Al Shami Jaafar , Hijazi Ghadir , Alameddine Zakaria , Ghandour Maher , Saad Ali
Published: January 2021

Background: Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune disease where antibodies attack the myelin sheath of peripheral nerves. The hallmark of the disease includes symmetrical quadriparesis, respiratory distress, and failure with subsequent need for mechanical ventilation. Most cases occur after a viral or bacterial infection. Other causes, such as intracranial hemorrhage, also exist, and several case studies report an association between these two pathologies.

Case Report: In this report, we present the case of an elderly male patient with intracranial (IC) bleeding post-GBS. The patient was admitted to the hospital for dyspnea and diagnosed with pneumonia. When he started complaining of progressive bilateral ascending paralysis of his lower extremities, we performed a lumbar puncture, and he was diagnosed with GBS. We started him on intravenous immune globulins (IVIGs) immediately, but his weakness progressed to include his respiratory muscles, and he required mechanical ventilatory support with Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission. We extubated him after two weeks, but he needed to be reintubated 24 hours later for a severely decreased level of consciousness. An urgent computed tomography scan of the brain showed IC bleeding. The patient developed a septic shock due to his pneumonia, which was refractory to antibiotics and vasopressors. He passed away a few weeks after that.

Conclusion: Our case represents a unique type of association between IC hemorrhages and GBS, where the bleeding occurred several days after, as opposed to before GBS. It also reinforces the correlation between GBS and Intracranial bleeding and stresses the importance of having a high index of suspicion when facing either pathology since both have similar symptoms that may overlap or mask each other.
Robotic Reverberation Mapping of the Southern Seyfert NGC 3783
Authors: Bentz Misty C. , Street Rachel , Onken Christopher A. , Valluri Monica
Published: January 2021

We present spectroscopic and photometric monitoring of NGC 3783 conducted throughout the first half of 2020. Time delays between the continuum variations and the response of the broad optical emission lines were clearly detected, and we report reverberation measurements for Hβ, He ii
λ4686, Hγ, and Hδ. From the time delay in the broad Hβ emission line and the line width in the variable portion of the spectrum, we derive a black hole mass of

M
⊙. This is slightly smaller than, but consistent with, previous determinations. However, our significantly improved time sampling (T
med = 1.7 days compared to T
med = 4.0 days) has reduced the uncertainties on both the time delay and the derived mass by ∼50%. We also detect clear velocity-resolved time delays across the broad Hβ profile, with shorter lags in the line wings and a longer lag in the line core. Future modeling of the full velocity-resolved time-delay response will further improve the reverberation-based mass for NGC 3783, adding it to the small but growing sample of active galactic nuclei for which we have constrained the black hole mass as well as the geometry and kinematics of the broad-ine region. Upcoming MUSE observations at the Very Large Telescope will also allow NGC 3783 to join the smaller sample of black holes where reverberation masses and masses from stellar dynamical modeling may be directly compared.

MANUFACTURING FIRMS’ CAPITAL STRUCTURE IN BANGLADESH: COMPARISON BETWEEN LISTED MNCS AND LOCAL COMPANIES
Authors: Rahman Syed Mohammad Khaled , Tania Tasmina Chowdhury
Published: January 2021

The capital structure of a firm has immense significance as it has implications on corporate value and financial performance. The basic aim of the research was to analyze and compare the capital structure of Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE)-listed multi-national companies (MNCs) and local companies of Bangladesh over 24 years (1996-2019). Stratified sampling techniques were applied to the selection of firms. Six financial leverage ratios were used to analyze and compare capital structures. There were significant differences in capital structure between local companies and MNCs as the null hypothesis was rejected. It was also found that the mean equity-financing proportion of domestic companies and MNCs were 65% and 92.5% respectively. The proportion of long term debt in total capital employed was very low for both types of companies. MNCs can raise the proportion of both short and long-term debt to take the advantage of financial leverage. Domestic companies can redeem some short term loan and replace some short term debt with long term debt. This research would be useful for corporate financial managers, creditors, and investors to take appropriate financing as well as investment decisions which would affect shareholders' wealth and value of the firm in the long run to a significant extent.

Published: January 2021

Horticultural crops, being a prime source of essential nutrients, staple food and foreign exchange for a large part of human population, exhibit a unique status among growers and consumers. Ever increasing population across the world and changing climate conditions are badly affecting food security. Urgent needed improvement of production and enhanced adaptation to changing environmental conditions of horticultural crops seems unlikely to be met by conventional breeding technologies. Fortunately, one of the modern molecular techniques namely “clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)” technology has opened a new window to genetically improve these crops. Employing CRISPR technology, many crops for instance tomato, potato, watermelon and grapes have been successfully genetically engineered in order to improve their nutritional value and enhance adaptability towards changing climates. In the same way, resistance against many potential diseases have been developed modifying the genetics of certain horticultural crops. In this mini review, we have briefly discussed the successful CRISPR-Cas9 based studies conducted in horticultural crops and tried to present valuable source for the horticulturists working on biotic and abiotic stresses.

Catfish farmers are facing new barriers in both their production and returns on investment. Despite its potentials, the level of fish production has failed to meet domestic demand. This study aims to analyze the determinants of catfish production so as to boost the level of farm productivity and profitability. Random sampling techniques were employed in selecting the respondents for this study. Primary data was collected using structured questionnaires. Descriptive statistics, budgetary techniques and multiple regression analysis were the analytical techniques employed. The results indicated that most (58.3%) were within the age bracket of 20-39 years; 63.3% were male; most (75%) used organic fertilizer; 45% had no access to credit; most (75%) had formal education; 83.3% used earthen ponds; 83.3% were married; most (58.3%) had household population of 1-5 people; 66.7% had farming experience of 1-5 years; 75% hired labour; 91.7% had no access to extension contact; 58.3% had pond size of 1-400 sqm and most (58.3%) had stocking density of 1001-2000 fingerlings. The net farm income was ₦433,000/400sqm. Also, the estimated fixed and operating ratios were 0.43 and 0.67 respectively, while the benefit- cost ratio was 1.67. The coefficient of multiple determination (R2) was 0.839, hence 84% variation in the output is attributable to variables included in the regression model. Furthermore, the constraints identified affected catfish production in the study area. However, improved access and supply of feeds, credit, technology, market linkages, extension services, input subsidy, cooperative formation and training are strongly recommended.

This article discusses the existence and framing of Meratus local religion in various media in the form of writings and videos, such as State regulations or documents, mass media news, research, and books that have searched and written down Meratus local religion. This article examines the problem above by focusing on two important questions. First, how is the representation and existence of religion before the media and the administration and politics of the State? Second, how is the struggle of the Dayak Meratus community to the process of marginalization in an effort to gain recognition from the State, especially after the decision of the Constitutional Court (Mahkamah Konstitusi) in 2017? By exploring various opinions and visual images that are less sympathetic to the Meratus local religion which is spread in various media above, the position of Dayak Meratus local religion is still marginalized, making the Dayak Meratus still have to submit to parties in framing and constructing what they believe and embrace until now. This condition makes the local religion of Dayak Meratus increasingly eroded and always disappears before the State and official religion until now, since their religion is not compatible with the politics of order and development.

Teenagers with a low self-esteem have the feeling that they do not know too well each other and talk about them in a unreliable and ambiguous way. They are also pretty reserved in initiating social contacts.
Munca într-o lume a viitorului. Perspective și provocări pentru psihologi
Authors: Aniței Mihai
Published: January 2021

Schimbările rapide ce au loc la începutul secolului al XXl-lea își pun puternic amprenta asupra specificului și particularităților proceselor de muncă, psihologia fiind confruntată cu provocări și probleme greu de anticipat în deceniile trecute. Astfel, în secolul XXI, psihologia va avea un rol decisiv in menținerea și stimularea productivității, eficienței, dar și stării de bine a angajaților, iar oferirea de răspunsuri practice în vederea adaptării la noile realități apărute în sfera muncii va deveni esențială. Globalizarea, utilizarea extensivă a noilor tehnologii de comunicare, ritmul alert al capacității de inovare precum și emergența societății cunoașterii determină apariția unor mutații semnificative în sfera muncii, facilitând apariția unor noi realități organizaționale ori industriale. Echipele și organizațiile virtuale, ori cele intensiv-cognitive, lucrătorul cunoașterii, angajatul virtual ori munca intr-un mediu impredictibil și eterogen cultural reprezintă doar o serie dintre provocările pe care viitorul le va oferi psihologilor. Iar mobilitatea ridicată a angajatului, nivelul de stres din ce in ce mai ridicat, workoholismul, ori izolarea din ce in ce mai puternică - o serie din consecințele psihologice pe care lucrul într-o lume a viitorului le va presupune. Pornind de la aceste considerente, lucrarea își propune să realizeze o trecere în revistă a principalelor schimbări ce vor avea loc in cadrul activităților de muncă în următoarele decenii, trasând direcții clare de analiză și de intervenție atât pentru psihologie, din perspectivă teoretică și științifică, cât și pentru psihologi, avându-se in vedere intervenții aplicative, cu puternic caracter practic.

Published: January 2021

This study examines the influence of internal factors on financial performance in Nigerian deposit money banks by using panel data of banks over the period 2009 to 2019. Since the data is secondary in nature, the quantitative approach to research was considered. Besides, the fixed effect model was used. The fixed effect model is preferred to the random effect model based on the Housman specification test. Under this study, internal and factors were examined. The internal factors used in this study include capital structure; Income Diversification, operating cost and bank size whereas, ROA and ROCE were used as the financial performance measure. Based on the regression result, all bank specific variables except bank size affect performance of the bank significantly but negatively. While based on correlation analysis, Bank size was positively correlated with ROCE. These clearly shows that, as the bank size increases, ROCE also moves on the same direction. On the other hand, the income diversification, capital structure and operating cost were negatively correlated with ROCE. Also, as the income diversification, capital structure and operating cost increases, ROCE moves in opposite direction. Moreover, the capital structure and the operating cost negatively correlated with ROA. This indicates that as capital structure increases, ROA moves to the opposite direction. On the other hand, income diversification and bank size were positively correlated with ROA. Based on the empirical findings, both capital structure and operating cost negatively and significantly affect performance measured by ROA and ROCE.
