Authors: Nusraningrum Dewi , Mekar Tri Mayang , Endri Endri , Ahmad Fauziah Sh
Published: August 2023

Labuan Bajo Seaport's maritime logistics ecosystem serves the marine logistics supply chain as an essential part of economics and social development in the region. It is one of the economic regions that need to be developed where green operations management must be applied to suppress the negative impact of port operations. The research aims to analyze the influence of green marketing, business, and operation management on Sustainability. A cross-sectional study has been conducted in this research with data processing using partial least squares (PLS) path modeling. The population is the stakeholder of Labuan Bajo seaport, and the samples are 100 with a purposive sampling method. Findings show that green marketing has influenced business, operation management, and Sustainability. However, the green industry also influenced green operation management and impacted Sustainability. The study indicates that Sustainability can be achieved when the seaport operates using green principles from planning to monitoring by the involvement of the stakeholder.

Published: August 2023

The preservation of business operations during and post the COVID-19 pandemic has emerged as a significant challenge for many enterprises. This research focuses on identifying the critical factors that influence the effective management of business continuity, based on lessons learned from the post-pandemic era. The primary objective of the investigation was to understand the impact of performance adaptability, innovation, talent preservation, and the implementation of a proactive, forward-thinking strategy on business continuity management. Furthermore, the study delves into the mediating role of strategic agility in these relationships. The study gathered data from personnel within the tourism sector of Jordan's prestigious Golden Triangle, which includes Petra, Wadi Rum, and Aqaba. The research utilized Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) to analyze the structural model and to investigate the propositions outlined. The findings indicated that performance adaptability, innovation, talent preservation, strategic agility, and a proactive strategy positively impact business continuity management. Moreover, strategic agility was found to moderate the relationship between performance adaptability, innovation, talent preservation, and a proactive strategy, thereby enhancing business continuity management. These research outcomes offer insightful implications for managerial personnel within hotels and tourism companies, acting as a comprehensive guide for improving their business continuity management in the post-pandemic world.

Developing Pedagogical Applications for Teaching Politeness Strategies in Advanced English as a Foreign Language Classrooms
Authors: Alshamrani Ahmed
Published: August 2023

The field of English as a foreign language (EFL) strives to promote students' proficiency by equipping them with proper grammatical and lexical skills. However, EFL textbooks often neglect the teaching of pragmatics which can lead to cross-cultural communication failures for EFL learners. EFL learners often struggle with traditional language teaching approaches that prioritize grammatical development over pragmatic skills. This paper aims to address this gap by focusing on promoting the use of politeness strategies among EFL learners in cross-cultural communication, particularly in email correspondences with college professors. The proposed teaching activities are based on the Linguistic Theory of Politeness and the 3Ds framework within the context of the Communicative Repertoire Approach. This paper aims to assist advanced EFL learners in effectively employing politeness strategies when writing email requests to college professors, by offering practical pedagogical applications that enhance EFL learners' ability to express their communicative intentions clearly and avoid any potential misunderstanding or misinterpretation by their college professors.
The Speech Act of English and Arabic Racial Memes of Covid19
Authors: Hussein Dunia Ali
Published: August 2023

A meme is a caption image that consists of an image and a witty message which reflects worldwide current incidents. Since the outbreak, Covid19 has received its own share of memes by fueling a pile – on excuses to promote racism on Asian's and particularly the Chinese community as being the major cause of the pandemic. The present study aims to investigate racial memes of (24) English memes and (10) Arabic memes. To achieve this, a pragmatic multimodal approach has been adopted to find answers to the following questions:1- To what category does the speech act “racialize” belong to?2- Are racial intentions expressed equally in English and Arabic memes?3- Is there any difference in the frequency of racial humor in English and Arabic memes?4- Which category of text – image combination is more frequently used in English and Arabic memes?The findings of the study, show that the speech act of racialize belongs to expressive illocutionary acts since it expresses a negative psychological state of mind and has down face since it is not accepted by everyone. Although, Covid19 memes in English and Arabic sometimes share the same caption and image but the racial intention in English memes are reflected through dark humor unlike Arabic memes which are mostly humorous.

Ectopic thyroid cancer with a normal thyroid gland
Authors: Khawaja Mustafa , Omar Mohammad , Sa'd Ali , Hamarneh Osama
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Ectopic thyroid tissue may appear in any location along the trajectory of the thyroglossal duct from the foramen cecum to the mediastinum, as either a lingual thyroid or a thyroglossal duct cyst. In rare cases, aberrant migration of the gland can result in lateral ectopic thyroid tissue. As for native thyroid gland, ectopic tissues are subject to malignant transformation.

Case Report: A 40-year-old female patient presented with a right-sided neck swelling. She had a history of treated Hodgkin’s lymphoma at the age of 16 years. She has hypothyroidism and on thyroxine and is known to have benign small thyroid nodules for the last 7 years. The neck swelling was suspicious for papillary thyroid carcinoma upon cytological examination. She underwent surgery (total thyroidectomy with central and right lateral selective neck dissection) that confirmed the presence of papillary thyroid cancer in the neck but the thyroid gland was devoid of any cancer. The patient had post-operative radioiodine ablation. She is free of any recurrence or residual disease after one-year post-treatment.

Conclusion: This case highlights the unusual presentation of thyroid carcinoma arising within an ectopic thyroid tissue in an otherwise cancer-free thyroid gland. The management of this case followed the standard treatment of metastatic thyroid cancer; however, it raises the question of whether these rare cases should receive de-escalation of standard management.

The digital world is a vast and ever- evolving ecosystem that encompasses a wide range of technologies, applications, and platforms. Blockchain has played a significant role in bringing the healthcare business forward. Blockchain may significantly enhance the traceability, efficiency, and safety of confidential data such as organ donation and transplantation, as well as the administration of electronic health data. This paper presents a secure and efficient web application for organ donation that uses private Ethereum blockchain technology to create a proof of authority (PoA) model for this consortium and also to automate a number of processes, including matching donors and recipients. The fairness of all the entities—patient, donor, hospital, or insurance company—involved in the system is guaranteed without the involvement of a third party. The security and privacy of the patient’s details are protected. The logic of the application is implemented using smart contracts and deployed in Ganache. It depicts various interactions and transactions among the participants, thus helping to automate these processes, promote transparency, improve efficiency, and minimise service time.
Notes on the Aural Aspects of Built Environment
Authors: Veres Balint
Published: August 2023

Aural architecture might seem at the first sight as some oddity, a deliberately unique niche genre, and an out-of-the-ordinary hue on the wide spectrum of built environments. In contrast, the essay overviews some of the most important aspects that foster a broader conceptualization of architecture conceived as substantially interlinked with the sonic realm. In comparison with the established discourse on soundscape, this writing does not start from fieldworks and empirical-based terms with the goals of a general theorization but works the other way around: it arrives at the notion of soundscape in its conclusion by pointing out the unsatisfying nature of any conception of architecture that misses the aural aspects of architectural space, hence excluding a crucial somaesthetic dimension both from theoretical discourse and designer practice.
Editorial: Body, Space, Architecture
Authors: Alison Aurosa
Published: August 2023

The relationship between body and architecture is substantial. It can be regarded as the principle according to which the design of habitability is connected to that of the body living and relating in space. The body moves in the surrounding space and, in addition to figuring itself as a biological and natural presence, it is configured to all those meanings that correspond to it. In fact, space, as well as being architectural, can be social, cultural, institutional, and political. And so can the body.
The Relationship between Transformational Leadership and Early Childhood Teachers' Occupational Well-being: A Moderated Mediation Model
Authors: Cui Xinyi
Published: August 2023

Enhancing the occupational well-being of early childhood teachers is of vital importance for the stability of the teaching workforce and the improvement of educational quality, as well as the healthy development of young children. This study surveyed 327 early childhood teachers using the Principal Transformational Leadership Scale, the Early Childhood Teacher Occupational Well-being Scale, the Psychological Empowerment Scale, and the Perceived Social Support Scale. The results are as follows: (1) Transformational leadership has a positive influence on the occupational well-being of early childhood teachers, and psychological empowerment mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and occupational well-being. (2) Perceived social support among early childhood teachers moderates the relationship between psychological empowerment and occupational well-being. Specifically, when teachers have a lower level of perceived social support, the predictive role of psychological empowerment on occupational well-being is stronger. Conversely, when teachers have a higher level of perceived social support, the predictive role of psychological empowerment on occupational well-being is not significant.

Published: August 2023

Natural worship is a unique spiritual activity of human civilization that has existed since ancient times, arising from the awe-inspiring feeling that humans have towards mountains, rivers, and all things in nature. The mountain sacrifice system is a ritual practice that developed from the spiritual development of natural worship. Since the mythological era, the worship of natural phenomena and objects has existed, and Confucianism incorporated the ethics of nature into its doctrine, including mountains and rivers in its philosophical concept of Earth. During the Han Dynasty, rulers reorganized and reformed the mountain sacrifice system and formed the core ritual of the Taishan Mountain sacrifice. The various functions of the Han Dynasty mountain sacrifice ceremony reveal social customs during the Western Han period and Confucian related rituals. The changes in the mountain sacrifice policy during the Han Dynasty reflect the political strategies of rulers and the connection between Confucianism and its rituals. This article analyzes the changes in the Han Dynasty mountain sacrifice system and the basic situation of Han people's worship and beliefs through close reading of texts. It aims to demonstrate the peculiarities of the Han Dynasty mountain sacrifice system and its connection with Confucianism and its rituals.

Парадигми гібридного впливу в інформаційній сфері на прикладі державно-управлінських засад
Authors: Хряпинський А. П. , Хмиров І. М.
Published: August 2023

У статті здійснено комплексне наукове обґрунтування та дослідження проблематики визначення сутності та особливостей парадигм гібридного впливу в інформаційній сфері на прикладі державно-управлінських засад. Встановлено, що під час розробки заходів з протидії гібридним загрозам в інформаційній сфері надзвичайно корисним може бути метод аналізу витрат і вигод. Хоча його застосування до цілей опонента може не поставити основні публічні організації та координаційні безпекові центри на перше місце в списку, але дійсно, вигода від їх зриву була б великою, адже вони, швидше за все, також підготовлені та мають навички запобігання загрозам у зоні своєї відповідальності, позитивний результат стає невизначеним, а ризик швидкого викриття – великим. Натомість цей аналіз може принести користь сферам, які перебувають між відповідальністю публічних організацій, є «сліпими плямами», де загрози можуть виявлятися повільно, а реагування потребує певного часу. Аргументовано показано, що надзвичайно важливо розробити систему виявлення, яка одночасно розпізнає хибнопозитивні та хибнонегативні результати. Існує потреба в прагматичності, гнучкості та інклюзивності акторів, секторів і рівнів – усередині та між країнами. Гібридний захід не прийде туди, де його очікують, принаймні не завжди. Коли контрзаходи будуть успішними, супротивник змінить схему атаки. Тому необхідно залучати всіх акторів і враховувати як короткострокові, так і довгострокові перспективи. Тобто важливо співпрацювати між секторами та рівнями та не допускати, щоб традиційні кордони перешкоджали співпраці. Це ніколи не є таким важливим, як під час протидії гібридним загрозам, оскільки вразливі місця, як правило, існують саме в прикордонних сферах між секторами та рівнями, і це те, на що опонент буде цілитися. Це вимагає співпраці насамперед в інформаційній сфері, яка повинна розвиватися в публічному та приватному секторах, а також від місцевого та регіонального рівнів до національного та міжнародного.

Editors apology. The last issue of the Geological Curator was printed oversize. However, it can be trimmed without loss by taking 5mm off the top and about 10 mm off the bottom. Side trimming can be accomplished during binding. NOTE The publishing and editorial policies of the Geological Curators Group will be published in the next issue of the Geological Curator. Where do we go from here? This year has seen the publication of the State and Status of Geology in UK Museums (Geol Soc Miscellaneous Paper No. 13 by Phil Doughty)*. As most of us know the results of the survey are horrendous, but what impact has it had so...

Generally, most projects are not completed within time, cost, scope for various reasons, and this is accompanied by the emergence of disputes among the contracting parties. Disputes occurred as a result of failure to define the scope of work accurately by the employer which will be followed by the inaccuracy of the time and the estimated cost of the project, the imbalance of prices submitted by the contractors and the unrealistic data of the project activities schedule and the material supply schedule, the selection of contractors without suitable criteria, non-availability of the required financial allocations within the specified times, lack of integration between technical and legal departments in preparing the draft contract to reach a common opinion, lack of experience of executive or supervisory employees in dealing with disputes that occur during the course of work, which leads to their escalation. Four case studies related to dispute in construction contracts which have been resolved by the court were investigated. Triggers for these disputes were discrepancies in change order evaluation as a result of undefined or an accurate project scope, unsuitable site conditions, double meaning of specifications, design mistakes and excessive contract quantities fluctuation, unavailable financial allocations and the subcontractor's lack of experience on similar projects, as well as the main contractor's lack of expertise and capability are the reasons with importance weighting in these case studies. Therefore, taking proactive steps for the purpose of minimizing these disputes and their negative effects through preparing realistic feasibility studies for projects and allocating sufficient time for these studies, in addition to activate the role of surveying engineers and qualifying them to play their effective role in determining quantities and prices accurately and using specialized engineering programs in addition to modern methods of calculating Project completion rates using Earned Value.

The present study was planned to investigate the methods and effects of these methods previously applied by obese patient admitted to the nutrition and diet clinic of Gaziantep Şehitkamil State Hospital. The research was performed with a total of 382 individuals, 345 women and 37 men, with a body mass index of 30 kg/m2 and over. Before applying to the clinic, 71.2% of the individuals had tried to lose weight. 74.3% of these had lost weight; however, 96% of those who had lost weight re-gained weight. The rate of using any of the popular diets was identifi ed as 17.8%. Three popular diets most commonly used were the starvation diet (61.8%), cabbage diet (30.9%), and Dukan diet (8.8%). The proportion of the individuals using any weight loss methods was 70.8%. The methods used most frequently to lose weight were eating less food (79%), cutting down foods containing carbohydrate (61.4%), skipping meals (54.8%), exercising (52.9%) and slimming tea (45.9%). The rate of weight loss interventions was lower among the individuals whose monthly income was lower (p< 0.05). The individuals with an over-weight (obese) body perception attempted to lose weight at a higher ratecompared to those with weak/normal, light-weight body perception (p< 0.05). Women used any of the popular diets at a higher rate than men (p< 0.05). Health problems experienced as a result of the method applied included hunger, weakness, dizziness, gaining more weight, gastrointestinal disorders, impaired blood biochemistry, heart palpitations, psychological disorders, cessation of menstruation, and increased acne. 22.2% of the individuals applied to the clinic in order to lose weight healthilyunder the control of experts. Obesity is regarded as a problem, and most weight loss methods that are used are unhealthy ones. Losing weight in a healthy manner should be carried out by gaining healthy eating habits, bringing these habits into life style, and supporting these with exercise under the control of experts.
