Teachers’ Job Satisfaction in Instructional Delivery Modalities, and the Role of School Leaders: A Study among Selected Private Schools in the UAE
Authors: David Solomon Arulraj , Yahya Ahmad
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly, to analyse the impact of the newly applied instructional delivery modalities on teachers’ job satisfaction. Secondly, to navigate the role of school leaders to help teachers to cope with these models. The teaching modalities that are of research interest are the face-to-face, online, and hybrid models. The study adopted the mixed-methods approach. Around 151 teachers from 3 private schools in Abu Dhabi shared their response in a quantitative survey. To compare the teachers’ job satisfaction, the following mediating variables were considered: job security, workload, in-class effort, work-life balance, remuneration, leadership support, students’ behaviour, and relationship with co-workers. On the other hand, semi-structured interviews with 20 staff from the 3 schools were conducted to explore the best practices that school leaders can apply to meet the teachers’ job satisfaction. The findings of the study confirmed that there is a significant association between teaching modality and teachers’ job satisfaction. The traditional teaching modality meets the highest level of satisfaction, then the distance learning, and lastly is the hybrid one. Whereas the interviews recommended that school leaders are asked to build active communication channels with their teachers, share the decision-making process, decrease the workload, raise the teachers’ autonomy, and establish a remuneration system. The study concludes that teachers’ job satisfaction in all instructional delivery models should be a priority for every successful school leader.
Challenges of supply chain visibility in distribution logistics
Authors: Freichel Stephan , Rütten Pia , Wörtge Johannes
Published: December 2022

Purpose: Complex supply chains characterise today's economic life, which is determined by uncertainties and risks. Managing those successfully requires the development of resilient and flexible structures and processes based on information transparency, which enables better decision-making, especially in times of global crises. In this context, supply chain visibility (SCV) is defined as the stakeholders' capability to have access to accurate and timely information about the flow of goods. Although the importance of SCV has been discussed in scientific literature and practice, challenges still inhibit improved SCV, particularly in distribution logistics. These have been scarcely investigated. The purpose of this study is to identify the challenges of SCV in distribution logistics and to provide implications to address them. Methodology: A qualitative content analysis (QCA) spanning 26 scientific articles was used. Results: We found evidence of challenges inhibiting SCV in distribution logistics within the three aggregated dimensions of inappropriate processes & technologies and information systems, lack of communication & trust, and insufficient monitoring & decision-making metrics. The findings show that trust can be seen as both a challenge and a prerequisite. Despite the possibilities of digitalisation, there exist trade-offs between manual processes and new technology implementation. Decision-making can be based on individual experiences, and monitoring can be difficult due to undefined metrics. Conclusion: Practitioners may use the findings to better identify and address the challenges of SCV in distribution logistics. Further studies could extend the findings through empirical studies, which would allow practitioners to assess their level of SCV and derive initial solutions.

Published: December 2022

Abstract. This study examines carbohydrates, amino acids, and lipids as important contributors to organic carbon (OC) in the tropical Atlantic Ocean at the Cape Verde Atmospheric Observatory (CVAO). The above compounds were measured in both surface seawater and in ambient submicron aerosol particles to investigate their sea-to-air transfer, including their enrichment in the sea surface microlayer (SML), potential atmospheric in situ formation or degradation, and their oceanic contribution to the ambient marine aerosol particles. In bulk seawater and the SML, similar distributions among species were found for the lipids and carbohydrates with moderate SML enrichments (enrichment factor EFSML = 1.3±0.2 and 1.1±0.5 respectively). In contrast, the amino acids exhibited a higher enrichment in the SML with an averaging EFSML of 2.4±0.3 although being less surface-active than lipids. The same compounds studied in the seawater were found on the ambient submicron aerosol particles whereas the lipids were more pronounced enriched (EFaer. = 1.6x105) compared to the amino acids and carbohydrates (EFaer. = 1.5x103 and 1.3x103 respectively), likely due to their high surface activity and/or the lipophilic character. Detailed molecular analysis of the seawater and aerosol particles revealed changes in the relative composition of the single organic compounds. They were most pronounced for the amino acids and are likely related to an in situ atmospheric processing by biotic and/or abiotic reactions. On average 49 % of the OC on the aerosol particles (≙ 97 ng m-3) could be attributed to the specific components or component groups investigated in this study. The majority (43 %) was composed of lipids. Carbohydrates and amino acids made up less than 1 % of the OC. This shows that carbohydrates, at least resolved via molecular measurements of single sugars, do not comprise a very large fraction of OC on marine aerosol particles, in contrast to other studies. However, carbohydrate-like compounds are also present in the high lipid fraction (e.g., as glycolipids), but their chemical composition could not be revealed by the measurements performed here. Previously determined OC components at the CVAO, in detail amines, oxalic acid, and carbonyls, comprised an OC fraction of around 6 %. Since the identified compounds constituted about 50 % of the OC and belong to the rather short-lived biogenic material probably originating from the surface ocean, a pronounced coupling between ocean and atmosphere was indicated for this oligotrophic region. The remaining, non-identified OC fraction might in part contain recalcitrant OC, however, this fraction does not constitute the vast majority of OC in the here investigated aerosol particles.

Abstract. This study investigated the accuracy of the Random Forest (RF) model in gap-filling the sensible (H) and latent heat (LE) fluxes, by using the observation data collected at a site over rice–wheat-rotation croplands in Shouxian County of eastern China from 15 July 2015 to 24 April 2019. Firstly, the variable significances of the machine learning (ML) model’s five input variables, including the net radiation (Rn), winds speed (WS), temperature (T), relative humidity (RH), and air pressure (P), were examined, and it was found that Rn accounted for 78 % and 76 % of the total variable significance in H and LE calculating, respectively, showing that it was the most important input variable. Secondly, the RF model's accuracy with the five-variable (Rn, WS, T, RH, P) input combination was evaluated, and the results showed that the RF model could reliably gap-fill the H and LE with mean absolute errors (MAEs) of 5.88 Wm−2 and 20.97 Wm−2, and root mean square errors (RMSEs) of 10.67 Wm−2 and 29.46 Wm−2, respectively. Thirdly, 4-variable input combinations were tested, and it was found that the best input combination was (Rn, WS, T, P) with the MAE of H and LE reduced by 12.65 % and 7.12 %, respectively, after removing RH from the input list. At last, through the Taylor diagram, H and LE gap-filling accuracy of the RF model, the support vector machine (SVM) model, the k-nearest neighbor (KNN) model, and the gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT) model was inter-compared, and the statistical metrics showed that RF was the most accurate for both H and LE gap-filling, while the LR and KNN model performed the worst for H and LE gap-filling, respectively.

Abstract. Anthropogenic land-use and land cover change (LULCC) is a major driver of environmental changes. The biophysical impacts of these changes on the regional climate in Europe are currently extensively investigated within the WCRP CORDEX Flagship Pilot Study (FPS) LUCAS - "Land Use and Climate Across Scales" using an ensemble of different Regional Climate Models (RCMs) coupled with diverse Land Surface Models (LSMs). In order to investigate the impact of realistic LULCC on past and future climates, high-resolution datasets with observed LULCC and projected future LULCC scenarios are required as input for the RCM-LSM simulations. To account for these needs, we generated the LUCAS LUC dataset Version 1.1 at 0.1° resolution for Europe with annual LULC maps from 1950–2100 (Hoffmann et al., 2022b, a), which is tailored towards the use in state-of-the-art RCMs. The plant functional type distribution (PFT) for the year 2015 (i.e., LANDMATE PFT dataset) is derived from the European Space Agency Climate Change Initiative Land Cover (ESA-CCI LC) dataset. Details about the conversion method, cross-walking procedure and the evaluation of the LANDMATE PFT dataset are given in the companion paper by  Reinhart et al. (2022b). Subsequently, we applied the land-use change information from the Land-Use Harmonization 2 (LUH2) dataset, provided at 0.25° resolution as input for CMIP6 experiments, to derive LULC distribution at high spatial resolution and at annual timesteps from 1950 to 2100. In order to convert land use and land management change information from LUH2 into changes in the PFT distribution, we developed a Land Use Translator (LUT) specific to the needs of RCMs. The annual PFT maps for Europe for the period 1950 to 2015 are derived from the historical LUH2 dataset by applying the LUT backward from 2015 to 1950. Historical changes in the forest type changes are considered using an additional European forest species dataset. The historical changes in the PFT distribution of LUCAS LUC follow closely the land use changes given by LUH2 but differ in some regions compared to other annual LULCC datasets. From 2016 onward, annual PFT maps for future land use change scenarios based on LUH2 are derived for different Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) and Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) combinations used in the framework of the Coupled Modelling Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6). The resulting LULCC maps can be applied as land use forcing to the new generation of RCM simulations for downscaling of CMIP6 results. The newly developed LUT is transferable to other CORDEX regions world-wide.

Published: December 2022

Abstract. Research on the vibration characteristics of the mechanical systems is a necessary step for the stable and reliable operation of high-end equipment. The 6 degrees of freedom parallel mechanism is proposed for the supporting mechanism of the antenna. First, the dynamic equations of the moving platform and branch of the mechanism are established. The closed-form dynamics of the mechanism are derived based on the Newton–Euler method. In addition, the vibration equation of the parallel antenna is established based on the vibration theory, and the relationship between the natural frequency, displacement response, and vibration frequency is obtained. Afterward, the pitch and roll poses of a 1.8 m aperture antenna are developed based on a MATLAB software simulation. The actuation forces of parallel antenna under no-load and load conditions are simulated. Finally, the natural frequencies and vibration modes of the initial position and roll (20∘) are simulated based on the Adams software vibration analysis module. Furthermore, the relationship between the displacement response of the moving platform and the resonant frequency is studied based on the harmonic response analysis. The control strategy based on the dynamic model improves the control accuracy of parallel antenna. This research work provides a guarantee for the dynamic characteristics analysis and engineering application of parallel antenna.

In this context, the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) started to work on Digital Turkish Lira (DTL) in 2021. In this context, it will enable the company tokens, which are proposed to be issued as a sub-unit of DTL, which is planned to use blockchain technology in its infrastructure, to be used in the financing of businesses, while also allowing investors to invest in Turkish Lira assets. In the research, it has been suggested that the company tokens to be issued under DTL can be traded on the Borsa Istanbul (BIST) and invested, as well as the relevant tokens can be traded. The proposed model has been examined within the scope of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), which is frequently used in the research of technological innovations. The analysis process of the research was carried out with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The analysis of the research was carried out with the Smartpls 3 package program. Hypotheses H3, H5, and H8 were rejected and other hypotheses were accepted. When the results of the research were analyzed, it was determined that the factors affecting the intention to use the proposed company tokens were parallel to the literature. As a result of the analysis, it has been reached that the attitude and intention towards the use of company tokens in the proposed model are positive.
Urphänomen (Original/Primordial Phenomenon)
Authors: Meixner Sebastian
Published: December 2022

The concept of Urphänomen (original, archetypal, or primordial phenomenon) is central to Goethe’s scientific studies. The neologism designates a phenomenon that is both real (experienced) and ideal (conceptualized). Thus, it testifies to Goethe’s specific epistemological mediation between idealism and empiricism and opens onto a notion of intuitive understanding. The term belongs in the context of Goethe’s theory of colors and accordingly leads avant la lettre to the optical writings of the 1790s. Furthermore, the term appears in the context of Goethe’s biological writings as well as in geognostic and meteorological considerations. In the Maximen und Reflexionen (Maxims and Reflections) as in the conversations with Eckermann, the Urphänomen is deployed in ethical and aesthetic spheres. The Urphänomen derives from an “Erfahrung höherer Art” (experience of a higher kind) and is defined as a phenomenon acquired through progressive experience, to which the variety of related appearances may in turn be referred step by step. Once recognized, the Urphänomen can serve as a key to further insights through its synthetic mediation of theoretical idea and empirical knowledge. This epistemic function renders it ambiguous because, on the one hand, it denotes a mental construct that allows for the cognition of further phenomena and, on the other hand, it simultaneously denotes an empirical experience in its  Urform (primordial form).
Wechsel-Dauer (Change-Constancy)
Authors: Resvick Jessica
Published: December 2022

The lexeme Wechsel-Dauer (change-constancy) appears in “Anmutige Gegend” (A Pleasant Landscape) in Act I of Faust II, as part of Faust’s famous description of the rainbow before him. While the hyphenated term captures the essential temporal tension of the drama, reflecting the complexity of the Augenblick (moment), it also indexes the temporality of Metamorphose (metamorphosis) within Goethe’s scientific thought. The obvious overlap with the poem “Dauer im Wechsel” (1803; Constancy in Change), which is linked with early nineteenth-century psychology, points toward some of the term’s broader resonances. Beyond the natural scientific and psychological contexts, Wechsel-Dauer is connected to several interrelated aspects of cultural production, including publication practices, tradition, and late style. Furthermore, the hyphenated term, as distinguished from either Wechsel or Dauer alone, manifests the Goethean principles of Polarität (polarity) and Steigerung (intensification).
Reihe (Series)
Authors: Mierbach Julia
Published: December 2022

For Goethe, the lexeme Reihe (series) is not just a word of common parlance but a concept and a figure of thought with significant philosophical implications. In its most developed articulations, a Reihe is an ordering technique that is needed for proper experimentation and scientific research as well as for an effective presentation of the natural order. When something is serialized, its inner order becomes visible and perceptible, as Goethe states in his short essay Der Versuch als Vermittler von Objekt und Subjekt (1792; The Experiment as Mediator between Object and Subject). As a scientific practice, serialization requires strong self-moderation, which helps the scientific observer treat everything with adequate accuracy. For Goethe, moreover, a series that presents something to an observer is in a continuous state of movement, akin to living forms of nature themselves. This ambiguity between object and method is especially evident in Goethe’s morphological notebooks, in which the concept of the series oscillates between the form of nature and the form of its depiction, suggesting that the traditional order of the signified and the signifier is itself serialized in his scientific work. Most significantly, Goethe defines a series as a form of demonstration, exposition, and recapitulation, rather than of argumentation, which distances it from rational concepts of series. A key aspect of serialization for Goethe, therefore, is its deployment as a form of presentation or depiction, not one of deduction, and for this reason it can also be detected in his literary works. While the first part of the entry is devoted to a reconstruction of Goethe’s usage of the concept in his scientific and literary works, the second part compares Goethe’s concept of the series with similar, historically adjacent usages, such as those developed by F.W.J. Schelling (1775–1845), J.F. Herbart (1776–1841), and Novalis (Friedrich von Hardenberg, 1772–1801). None of these can be regarded as a main model for Goethe, but the existence of other serial concepts makes it clear that Goethe’s concept does not emerge out of a historic vacuum. Instead, his contemporaries likewise define a series as a form of presentation, even if it varies in each case. The entry concludes, finally, with an overview of the reception of the concept of the series in the nineteenth and twentieth century.
The Lepners – a family of Warmian doctors from Königsberg
Authors: Przeracki Jerzy
Published: December 2022

W artykule zostały przedstawione losy członków rodziny lekarskiej Lepnerów. Jej pierwszy przedstawiciel Jan Chrystian wywodził się z Królewca, a po zmianie wyznania z luterańskiego na katolickie przybył w końcu XVII stulecia na Warmię, osiedlając się w Braniewie. Niebawem przeniósł się do Fromborka i został lekarzem kanoników tamtejszej kapituły katedralnej. Syn Jana Chrystiana, Andrzej Stanisław, absolwent medycyny Uniwersytetu w Lipsku i doktor medycyny, związał swoje życie z Lidzbarkiem Warmińskim. Z kolei jego syn, Franciszek Jerzy, absolwent medycyny Uniwersytetu Królewieckiego, miał być następcą Andrzeja Stanisława jako lekarz w stolicy Warmii, niestety zmarł w bardzo młodym wieku, co było wielkim ciosem dla ojca. Wskutek tego tragicznego wydarzenia tradycja dziedziczenia zawodu medycznego w rodzinie Lepnerów została przerwana. Autor zaprezentował także sylwetki braniewskich lekarzy miejskich, następców Jana Chrystiana Lepnera na tym stanowisku, do 1772 roku.

Using a Machine Learning Algorithm to Predict Online Patient Portal Utilization: A Patient Engagement Study
Authors: Otokiti Ahmed U. , Farrelly Colleen M. , Warsame Leyla , Li Angie
Published: December 2022

Objective: There is a low rate of online patient portal utilization in the U.S. This study aimed to utilize a machine learning approach to predict access to online medical records through a patient portal.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional predictive machine learning algorithm-based study of Health Information National Trends datasets (Cycles 1 and 2; 2017-2018 samples). Survey respondents were U.S. adults (≥18 years old). The primary outcome was a binary variable indicating that the patient had or had not accessed online medical records in the previous 12 months. We analyzed a subset of independent variables using k-means clustering with replicate samples. A cross-validated random forest-based algorithm was utilized to select features for a Cycle 1 split training sample. A logistic regression and an evolved decision tree were trained on the rest of the Cycle 1 training sample. The Cycle 1 test sample and Cycle 2 data were used to benchmark algorithm performance.
Results: Lack of access to online systems was less of a barrier to online medical records in 2018 (14%) compared to 2017 (26%). Patients accessed medical records to refill medicines and message primary care providers more frequently in 2018 (45%) than in 2017 (25%).
Discussion: Privacy concerns, portal knowledge, and conversations between primary care providers and patients predict portal access.
Conclusion: Methods described here may be employed to personalize methods of patient engagement during new patient registration.
الوحي والنبوة القرآنية في محيطها التاريخي عرضٌ لمقولات الاستشراق الكلاسيكي والمعاصر

This research intends to reconsider (stability and repetition) or circular motion in the Orientalist lesson related to the Holy Qur’an and the sources of revelation and prophethood, given that the researcher barely finds anything new in studying the classic or recent Orientalist sayings. The reason for this is not the shortcoming of components of the Orientalist method but the submission to the religious and intellectual ideology of the Orientalists, who often adopt the denial of the divine source of the Holy Qur’an and claim that The Holy Qur’an had been formed from a mixture of biblical knowledge (Jewish and Christian)with the surrounding cultures in the Arabian Peninsula or abroad to organized and reformulated based on the creative mindset of the Prophet Mohammed and his inner inspirations he pretends.
