The main thing that must be considered by universities today is no longer encouraging students to quickly graduate and get jobs, but how students are able to create jobs. Therefore an effort is needed to increase entrepreneurial intention among students. The purpose of this study is to analyze the use of personal financial management, self-efficacy, parental, entrepreneurship education and e-commerce to predict entrepreneurial intentions. The population in this study were all students of the UNARS Faculty of Economics Management Study Program who had taken Entrepreneurship courses (I and II), which were 211 students in 7th semester. The sampling technique used is simple random sampling, where the determination of the number of samples using the Slovin model. The number of samples is 68 students, which are analyzed using multinomial logistics analysis to find out which of the five independent variables can be used to predict student entrepreneurial intentions. The results of this study concluded that personal financial management, self-efficacy and entrepreneurship education can consistently be used to predict medium and large entrepreneurial intentions. Parental can only be used to predict medium-sized entrepreneurial intentions. While e-commerce can only be used to predict the intention of large-scale entrepreneurship.

Published: October 2020

Economic globalization is characterized by the implementation of technology and knowledge, companies are faced with the challenges of technological change and improvement in the global business environment. Knowledge and technology can be reflected in intellectual capital. Intellectual capital represents knowledge in an organization at a particular time. Intellectual capital owned by the company will lead to innovative work behavior. Intellectual capital has also received attention from both the academic community and companies because of the influence of innovation and learning on achieving competitive advantage for companies in new or knowledge-based economies. The purpose of this research is that this study wants to examine both the direct effect of intellectual capital on company performance and the indirect effect through innovative work behavior. This research was conducted on micro businesses in Situbondo District, Situbondo Regency. Data analysis methods in this research were descriptive statistics and testing the outer and inner models using PLS Warp. The results show that intellectual capital directly does not affect innovative work behavior, intellectual capital directly influences the performance of micro businesses, and intellectual capital indirectly through innovative work behavior does not affect the performance of micro businesses.

Paths to Social Licence for Tracking-data Analytics
Authors: White Joshua Paul , Dennis Simon , Bell Jessica , Tomko Martin , Winter Stephan
Published: October 2020

While tracking-data analytics can be a goldmine for institutions and companies, the inherent privacy concerns also form a legal, ethical and social minefield. We present a study that seeks to understand the extent and circumstances under which tracking-data analytics is undertaken with social licence — that is, with broad community acceptance beyond formal compliance with legal requirements. Taking a University campus environment as a case, we enquire about the social licence for Wi-Fi-based tracking-data analytics. Staff and student participants answered a questionnaire presenting hypothetical scenarios involving Wi-Fi tracking for university research and services. Our results present a Bayesian logistic mixed-effects regression of acceptability judgements as a function of participant ratings on 11 privacy dimensions. Results show widespread acceptance of tracking-data analytics on campus and suggest that trust, individual benefit, data sensitivity, risk of harm and institutional respect for privacy are the most predictive factors determining this acceptance judgement.
Kindness and Cellular Aging: A Pre-Registered Experiment Testing the Effects of Prosocial Behavior on Telomere Length and Well-Being
Authors: Fritz Megan M , Walsh Lisa C. , Cole Steve , Epel Elissa , Lyubomirsky Sonja
Published: October 2020

Objective: Prosocial behavior can improve psychological well-being and physical health. However, the underlying biological mechanisms that mediate the relationship between prosociality and health remain unclear. In this pre-registered experiment, we tested whether a 4-week kindness intervention could slow leukocyte telomere shortening and increase well-being. Methods: Community adults (N = 230) were randomly assigned to complete 1 of 3 activities, each week for 4 weeks: to perform 3 kind acts for other people, to perform 3 kind acts for themselves, or to list daily activities. At baseline and post-intervention, participants came to the lab to provide a small dried blood spot (DBS) sample via finger prick for analysis of telomere length. Participants completed psychological measures (e.g., loneliness, life satisfaction) at baseline, post-intervention, and at the 2-week follow up.Results: Participants who performed kind acts for others did not demonstrate hypothesized changes in telomere length, nor in well-being, relative to controls. Exploratory analyses revealed that, relative to controls, participants who did kind acts for others showed reductions in loneliness through the 2-week follow up. Conclusions: The salubrious effects of prosocial behavior in the short term are not likely due to the inhibition of cellular aging (at least as indexed by telomere length). However, extending kindness to others holds promise as a plausible intervention to alleviate the public health crisis of loneliness.
Does schooling decrease social inequality in early achievement?
Authors: Passaretta Giampiero , Skopek Jan
Published: October 2020

Does schooling affect social inequality in educational achievement? Earlier studies based on seasonal comparisons suggested schooling to equalize social gaps in achievement, but recent replication studies gave rise to skepticism about the validity of older findings. We propose an alternative causal design that identifies schooling exposure effects by exploiting (conditionally) random variation in test dates and birth dates for children participating in assessment studies. We test effects of school exposure in first grade for a series of learning domains (vocabulary, grammar, math, and science) by drawing on recent data from the German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS). Findings clearly indicate that schooling increases learning in all domains and particularly in math and science. However, we did not find any evidence that schooling effects differed by children’s socio-economic background. We conclude that, while all children benefitted by first-grade exposure, first-grade schooling had no consequences for social inequality in learning. We discuss the relevance of our approach and results in the context of the massive school lockdowns due to the COVID-19 crisis and to further knowledge on the roleof schooling in the process of social stratification.
How the Far-Right Polarises Twitter: 'Highjacking' Hashtags in Times of COVID-19
Authors: Darius Philipp , Stephany Fabian
Published: October 2020

Twitter influences political debates. Phenomena like fake news and hate speech show that political discourse on micro-blogging can become strongly polarised by algorithmic enforcement of selective perception. Some political actors actively employ strategies to facilitate polarisation on Twitter, as past contributions show, via strategies of 'hashjacking'. For the example of COVID-19 related hashtags and their retweet networks, we examine the case of partisan accounts of the German far-right party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) and their potential use of 'hashjacking' in May 2020. Our findings indicate that polarisation of political party hashtags has not changed significantly in the last two years. We see that right-wing partisans are actively and effectively polarising the discourse by 'hashjacking' COVID-19 related hashtags, like #CoronaVirusDE or #FlattenTheCurve. This polarisation strategy is dominated by the activity of a limited set of heavy users. The results underline the necessity to understand the dynamics of discourse polarisation, as an active political communication strategy of the far-right, by only a handful of very active accounts.

Authors: Neupane Umesh , Joshi Dirgha Raj , Joshi Puspa Raj , Chaudhary Sanjay , Chaurasia Lokeshwar , Sha Laxmi , Giri Shree Shyam
Published: October 2020

Background and Objectives: Public adherence to preventive measures like social distancing, lockdown, improved hygiene is influenced by their knowledge and attitude toward COVID-19. The effectiveness of those mitigation measures is highly dependent on the cooperation and compliance of all residents of the country. This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of social media users with respect to six variables of socio-demographic parameters regarding the corona virus disease .

Material and methods: The cross-sectional study design was employed through an online survey. The data were collected from 218 respondents from April 15 to June 7, 2020 through Google Form. Frequency, percentage, Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis H Test were used to analyze the data.

Results: A high level of sensible knowledge regarding the overall knowledge (Mean=0.73, SD=0.11) about COVID-19 was observed. Participants have shown good sense of knowledge towards awareness (Mean=0.73, SD=0.14) and prevention (Mean=0.88, SD=0.15) based knowledge as compared to the symptom (Mean=0.49, SD=0.19) based knowledge. In response to attitude and practice, seven out of ten participants (70.6%) believed that the country will succeed in controlling the virus. A good number of participants were wearing face masks (94.5%), improving hygiene (92.7%) and using sanitizer/soap (94%). Around 91.7% of them were maintaining social distancing whereas 73.9%of participants think that the ongoing lockdown should be extended to control the transmission of virus. More dangerously, 42.7 % of participants believed anti-malarial drugs are useful for treating the patients with COVID-19.

Conclusion: The present study revealed a good knowledge, optimistic attitude and appropriate practice among social media users towards COVID-19. The findings of this study might serve as the baseline for planning awareness campaigns to improve the knowledge, attitude and practice in some critical aspects to control the virus in public level, and implementing government efforts and plan for better containment of COVID-19.

Participants stated “the training workshop was interactive and participatory” and suggested to include more dental related tasks in training.

Conclusion: Overall the feedback of the participants was positive and noteworthy. Participants’ self-reported confidence remarkably enhanced after participation in the training workshop.
Alcohol and sleep disturbances
Authors: Efremov I. S. , Asadullin A. R. , Nasyrova R. F. , Akhmetova E. A. , Krupitsky E. M.
Published: October 2020

This article presents a non-systematic descriptive review of sleep disturbance problems in patients with alcohol dependence. A search was carried out in databases such as Google Scholar, ELibrary.ru, Scopus, PubMed. We considered works published no earlier than January 1, 2015, but no later than January 10, 2020. A search was carried out with the use of search queries of various combinations of the specified words: “alcohol use disorder,” “alcoholism”, “insomnia,” and others. After analyzing a number of publications, it is possible to conclude that the relationship between the described phenomena is synergetic with a mutual reinforcement. In the current review it is demonstrated that the risk of the development of alcoholism against the background of sleep disturbances might be related to the initial use of alcohol as a somnolent with further development of tolerance and alcoholism. At the same time, the severity of sleep disturbances quite often coincides with the severity of alcohol dependence. For those patients who are in a stage of remission sleep disturbances is a risk factor for relapse. This review clearly demonstrates that further research of the relationships between alcohol dependence and sleep disorders are needed.

Published: October 2020

The psychological characteristics of patients with akinetic-rigid andtrembling forms of Parkinson’s disease were compared. It was revealed that regardless of the form of the disease, all patients with PD are characterized by a decrease in their perception of their social reputation, attractiveness, popularity, respect for others, as well as the ability to achieve their goals; unsociability, poor self-giving ability, poor imagination, and lack of long-term attachments. Only patients with the akinetic-rigid form arecharacterized by docility, obedience, complaisance, patience, distrust, and detachment from other people. Most of the patients we examined with PD are highly likely to perceive stressful situations as threatening and alarming.
Microstructure and texture of Ti-6Al-4V alloy deformed by rotary forging at elevated temperatures
Authors: Jiang Shan
Published: October 2020

Ti-6Al-4V alloy cylinder samples were subjected to rotary forging at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 1 473 K. The microstructure and texture were examined by means of electron back-scatter diffraction and X-ray diffraction. The results indicated that the rotary forging could remarkably promote formability at elevated temperatures but not room temperature. For the 1 073 K and 1173 K samples, dynamic recrystallization led to a notable grain refinement effect and produced a typical basal texture. With the further increase of deforming temperature to 1 473 K, dislocation slip contributed the main deformation and the effect of grain refinement was weakened. The martensitic transformation took place during the cooling process of the 1 473 K sample, forming a strip type microstructure and a special texture different from basal texture.

Authors: Pruktanakul Thakorn , Taemkaew Kittithat , Liabsuetrakul Tippawan , Leelawattana Rattana , Kietsiriroje Noppadol
Published: October 2020

Objective: To identify the normal reference ranges of serum testosterone and gonadotropins in Thai fertile men, compare these levels among different age groups, and assess their relationships with body mass index (BMI). Material and Methods: One hundred and twenty men aged 18-65 years whose wives had conceived within the past year were recruited at Songklanagarind Hospital and stratified into 3 age groups: 18-29, 30-39, and 40-65 years. Serum total testosterone (TT) was measured by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. Bioavailable testosterone (BT) and free testosterone (FT) were calculated using a validated formula. Results: The mean serum TT levels of the 18-29, 30-39, and 40-65 age groups were 520±200, 456±160, and 478±166 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL), respectively. There were no significant differences in TT levels among the age groups. The overall mean TT was 481±174 ng/dL and the normal TT reference range was 211-970 ng/dL. Both calculated FT and calculated BT significantly decreased in line with increased follicular stimulating hormone with increased age, while luteinizing hormone levels remained similar. BMI had a weakly negative correlation with TT levels (correlation coefficient=-0.33, p-value<0.001) and small correlations with other measures. Conclusion: Normal ranges of serum testosterone and gonadotropins determined in Thai fertile men with various ages are useful as a reference for clinical practice. Serum TT levels which are negatively correlated with BMI should be interpreted cautiously in obese men.

A educação brasileira apresenta diversas dificuldades, uma delas, o processo de ensino aprendizagem, é necessário que ocorra a utilização de estratégias e métodos diversificados e inovadores, que visem o aprimoramento desse processo, bem como, potencializar o interesse do discente, para que o mesmo desenvolva sua capacidade de análise crítica. Nesse sentido, o professor como mediador, deve criar conexões com os saberes abordados durante as aulas aos conhecimentos prévios dos alunos. Nesse contexto, o ensino de genética muitas vezes permanece centrado em metodologias baseadas apenas na transmissão e recepção de informações, através de aulas exclusivamente expositivas. Desse modo, é necessário que o docente como mediador do processo de ensino e aprendizagem utilize estratégias que permitam ao aluno, ser um protagonista na construção do conhecimento. Nessa perspectiva, os jogos didáticos são uma ferramenta metodológica importante e consequentemente facilitadora no processo de ensino e aprendizagem. O presente estudo teve como objetivo, analisar as contribuições do uso de um jogo didático no ensino de genética, desenvolvido no formato role-playing, para alunos de ensino médio, neste caso, o presente recurso foi utilizado no em uma instituição federal de ensino, no mês de agosto de 2019. Foi realizado um contato inicial com a profissional docente responsável por ministrar a disciplina de biologia, a fim de discutir o planejamento de execução desta proposta. Em seguida, foi agendada a execução do jogo no laboratório de informática da respectiva instituição. Por fim, os alunos foram convidados a responder um questionário eletrônico, objetivando verificar a opinião dos mesmo a respeito do uso da experiência metodológica proposta. Os resultados obtidos foram satisfatórios, uma vez que foi notória a receptividade dos alunos em relação ao jogo, além da comprovação dos mesmos de que a falta de recursos como este pode prejudicar a aprendizagem. Desse modo, os jogos educativos, se bem planejados e executados, são de extrema relevância no processo de ensino e aprendizagem dos conteúdos da genética. Nessa perspectiva, acredita-se que o presente estudo pode contribuir na reflexão acerca do processo de ensino e aprendizagem, bem como, estimular os docentes no planejamento de propostas diferenciadas, tendo como objetivo desenvolver em seus alunos autonomia, reflexão e criticidade buscando ainda promover espaços de descontração para a aprendizagem, contribuindo para que os mesmos sejam sujeitos ativos na construção de seu próprio conhecimento.

In this study, the usage of the peppermint (Mentha piperita) for extracting the metal ions [Mg (II), Cr (II), Ni (II), Cu (II), Zn (II), Cd (II), Pb (II)] that exist at water was investigated. In order to analyze the stability properties, Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms were used at removing the metal ions and the highest correlation coefficients (R2) were obtained at Langmuir isotherm. Therefore, it is seen that the Langmuir model is more proper than the Freundlich model. However, it was found that the correlation coefficients of removing Ni and Cd is higher at Freundlich model than Langmuir and low at Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm. It is established that the biosorption amount increase depends on the increase of biosorbent and it can be achieved high efficiency (95%) even with small amount (0.6 mg, peppermint extract) at lead ions. It is also determined that the peppermint extracted that is used at this study shows high biosorption capacity for metal ions and can be used for immobilization of metals from polluted areas.

The activity of naturally occurring radionuclides in mineral waters from certain most frequently used sources in Rhodope Mountains region, Southern Bulgaria has been measured with high precision by means of nuclear and radiochemical methods. The survey is pointed at radium-226 (226Ra), lead-210 (210Pb) and natural uranium (nat. U), which are most important from the point of view of public health in Bulgaria, because of their high toxicity and radiotoxicity in drinking water. Seventeen water sources were under investigation.
The activity concentrations of 226Ra and 210Pb varied from 13 to168 mBq/L and from ≤ 1.8 to 104 mBq/L respectively. The concentration of nat. U in the mineral water was in the range ≤ 3 to 21 µg/L.
The annual effective doses were calculated for all investigated waters for adult inhabitants assuming yearly consumption of 730 litres.
The results have shown that all values of the annual effective dose of ingestion of mineral waters were below the individual dose criterion of 100 µSv/y reported by World Health Organization (WHO).
The obtained new results are used to assess the radiation status of the investigated waters. They will support timely and adequate measures to reduce the harmful impact of ionizing radiation on the population in cases of increased radioactivity

In this study the numerical simulation of a Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system, based in a personalized ventilation system, installed in an occupied office desk is made. The energy is produced in a Dual Skin Facades (DSF) system installed in the outdoor environment. The personalized ventilation system, placed above and below the writing area, installed in the desk central area. The office desk is occupied by eight virtual manikins. The numerical simulation is made in a winter typical day. This numerical study considers a coupling of a differential numerical model and an integral numerical model. The differential numerical model simulates the Computational Fluids Dynamics (CFD), evaluates the air velocity, air temperature, turbulence intensity and carbon dioxide concentration and calculates the indoor air quality. The integral numerical model simulates the Multi-Node Human Thermo-physiology Model, evaluates the tissue, blood and clothing temperatures distribution and calculates the thermal comfort level. The HVAC system, based on a DSF system, is built using three DSF unities, is equipped with internal venetian blinds. Each one, installed in a virtual chamber, is turned to south. The personalized ventilation system, made with eight upper and eight lower air terminal devices, is installed in the desk central area. On each table top two upper and two lower air terminal devices are considered in the left and right manikin area, while on each side of the table two upper and two lower air terminal devices are placed between the manikins. The office desk is occupied by eight virtual manikins, one sitting on each table top and three sitting on each side of the meeting table. In this numerical study, carried out in winter conditions, the occupants’ clothing level is 1 clo. In these situations a typical activity level of 1.2 met is considered. The evolution of indoor environmental conditions, in the DSF and in the office room, are calculated during a full winter typical day. The thermal comfort, the indoor air quality, the effectiveness for heat removal, the effectiveness for contaminant removal and the Air Distribution Index (ADI), are evaluated. In accordance with the obtained results the thermal comfort levels increase when the air renovation rate increases and the indoor air quality level increases when the air renovation rate increases. However, the ADI is quite constant when the inlet airflow rate increases, because the thermal comfort number decreases when the inlet airflow rate increases and the air quality number increases when the inlet airflow rate increases.
