This study aims to form the habit of composing English sentences. As a foreign language, English is not used everyday in Indonesia. Learning a language is learning to acquire skills and skills are acquired with lots of practice. The allocation of study time of only 2 hours per week is not enough to develop English language skills if they are not trained outside the classroom as well. Therefore students need to get motivation, direction and instructions to practice outside the classroom. The habit of writing sentences every day can be an alternative to make students skilled at using English. In this study students were trained to make sentences every day by writing in a diary entitled 'My English Property'. Students write captions from the pictures provided or write events or impressions or opinions about what they experience or see everyday. After this activity was carried out, it appeared that the habit of writing sentences increased. This can be seen from the results of the initial survey and the final survey (evaluation) of activities. But not all students write every day. Some of the problems that hindered were reviewed for improvement of further activities.

ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk membentuk pembiasaan menyusun kalimat bahasa Inggris. Sebagai bahasa asing bahasa Inggris tidak digunakan sehari-hari di Indonesia. Belajar bahasa adalah belajar untuk memperoleh ketrampilan dan ketrampilan diperoleh dengan banyak latihan. Alokasi waktu pembelajaran hanya 2 jam per pekan tidak cukup untuk mengembaangkan ketrampilan berbahasa Inggris apabila tidak dilatih di luar kelas juga. Oleh karena itu siswa perlu mendapatkan motivasi, arahan dan petunjuk untuk berlatih di luar kelas. Pembiasaan menulis kalimat setiap hari bisa menjadi salah satu alternatif untuk membuat siswa teramil menggunakan bahasa Inggris. Dalam penelitian ini siswa dilatih untuk membuat kalimat setiap hari dengan menulis di buku harian yang diberi judul ‘My English Property’. Siswa menulis caption dari gambar-gambar yang disediakan maupun menulis kejadian atau kesan atau pendapat tentang apa yang mereka alami atau mereka lihat sehari-hari. Setelah kegiatan ini dilaksanakan, nampaak bahwa pembiasaan menulis kalimat meningkat. Hal ini dilihaat dari hasil survey awal maupun survey akhir (evaluasi) kegiatan. Namun belum semua siswa menulis setiap hari. Beberapa permasalahan yang menghambat dikaji kembali untuk perbaikan kegiatan selanjutnya

Abstract. We report the investigation of the ionospheric response to the passage of an annular solar eclipse over Southeast Asia on 26 December 2019 using multiple sets of observations. Two ionosondes (one at Kototabang and another at Pontianak) were used to measure dynamical changes in the ionospheric layer during the event. A network of ground-based GPS receiver stations in Indonesia was used to derive the distribution of total electron content (TEC) over the region. In addition, extreme ultraviolet (EUV) images of the Sun from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) instrument on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) satellite were also analyzed to determine possible impacts of solar-active regions on the changes that occurred in the ionosphere during the eclipse. We found −1.62 and −1.90 MHz reductions (24.0 % and 27.5 % relative reduction) in foF2 during the solar eclipse over Kototabang and Pontianak, respectively. The respective TEC reductions over Kototabang and Pontianak during the eclipse were −4.34 and −5.45 TECU (24.9 % and 27.9 % relative reduction). Data from both ionosondes indicate a consistent 34–36 min delay between maximum eclipse and minimum foF2. The corresponding time delays for eclipse-related TEC reduction at these two locations were 40 and 16 min, respectively. The ionospheric F layer was found to descend with a speed of 9–19 m s−1 during the first half of the eclipse period. We also found an apparent rise in the ionospheric F-layer height near the end of the solar eclipse period, equivalent to a vertical drift velocity of 44–47 m s−1. The GPS TEC data mapping along a set of cross-sectional cuts indicates that the greatest TEC reduction actually occurred to the north of the solar-eclipse path, opposite of the direction from which the lunar shadow fell. As the central path of the solar eclipse was located just to the north of the southern equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) crest, it is suspected that such a peculiar TEC reduction pattern was caused by plasma flow associated with the equatorial fountain effect. Net perturbations of TEC were also computed and analyzed, which revealed the presence of some wavelike fluctuations associated with the solar-eclipse event. Some of the observed TEC perturbation patterns that propagated with a velocity matching the lunar shadow may be explained in terms of nonuniform EUV illumination that arose as various active regions on the Sun went obstructed and unobstructed during the eclipse. The remaining wavelike features are likely to be traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) generated by the passage of the solar eclipse on top of other diurnal factors.
Development of an integrated model framework for multi-air-pollutant exposure assessments in high-density cities and the implications for epidemiological research

Published: April 2023

Abstract. Exposure models for some criteria air pollutants have been intensively developed in past research; multi-air-pollutant exposure models, especially for particulate chemical species, have been however overlooked in Asia. Lack of an integrated model framework to calculate multi-air-pollutant exposure hinders the combined exposure assessment and the corresponding health assessment. This work applied the land-use regression (LUR) approach to develop an integrated model framework to estimate annual-average exposures of four major PM10 chemical species as well as four criteria air pollutants of PM10, PM2.5, NO2, and O3 in a typical high-rise and high-density Asian city (Hong Kong, China). Our integrated multi-air-pollutant exposure model framework is capable of explaining 91–97 % of the variability of measured air pollutant concentration, with the leave-one-out cross-validation R2 values ranging from 0.73 to 0.93. Using the model framework, the spatial distribution of the concentration of various air pollutants at a spatial resolution of 500 m was generated. The LUR model-derived spatial distribution maps revealed weak to moderate spatial correlations between the PM10 chemical species and the criteria air pollutants, which may help to distinguish their independent chronic health effects. In addition, further improvements in the development of air pollution exposure models are discussed. This study proposes an integrated model framework for estimating multi-air-pollutant exposure in high-density and high-rise urban areas, serving an important tool for combined exposure assessment and the corresponding epidemiological studies.

Abstract. Evapotranspiration over crop growth period, also referred to as the consumptive water footprint of crop production (WFCP), is an essential component of the hydrological cycle. However, the existing high-resolution consumptive WFCP datasets do not distinguish between soil evaporation and crop transpiration and disregard the impacts of different irrigation practices. This restricts the practical implementation of existing WFCP datasets for precise crop water productivity assessments, agricultural water-saving evaluations, the development of sustainable irrigation techniques, cropping structure optimisation, and crop-related interregional virtual water trade analysis. This study establishes a 5-arcmin gridded dataset of monthly green and blue WFCP, evaporation, transpiration, and associated unit WFCP benchmarks for 21 crops grown in China during 2000–2018. The data simulation was based on calibrated AquaCrop modelling under furrow-, sprinkler-, and micro-irrigated as well as rainfed conditions. Data quality was validated by comparing the current results with multiple public datasets and remote-sensing products. The improved gridded WFCP dataset effectively compensated for the gaps in the existing datasets through: (i) revealing the intensity, structure, and spatiotemporal evolution of both productive and non-productive blue and green water consumption on a monthly scale, and (ii) including crop-by-crop unit WFCP benchmarks according to climatic zones.
First observations of sea ice flexural–gravity waves with ground-based radar interferometry in Utqiaġvik, Alaska
Authors: Dammann Dyre Oliver , Johnson Mark A. , Mahoney Andrew R. , Fedders Emily R.
Published: April 2023

Abstract. We investigate the application of ground-based radar
interferometry for measuring flexural–gravity waves in sea ice. We deployed
a GAMMA Portable Radar Interferometer (GPRI) on top of a grounded iceberg
surrounded by landfast sea ice near Utqiaġvik, Alaska. The GPRI
collected 238 acquisitions in stare mode during a period of moderate lateral
ice motion during 23–24 April 2021. Individual 30 s interferograms
exhibit ∼ 20–50 s periodic motion indicative of propagating
infragravity waves with ∼ 1 mm amplitudes. Results include
examples of onshore wave propagation at the speed predicted by the water
depth and a possible edge wave along an ice discontinuity. Findings are
supported through comparison with on-ice Ice Wave Rider (IWR) accelerometers
and modeled wave propagation. These results suggest that the GPRI can be a
valuable tool to track wave propagation through sea ice and possibly detect
changes in such properties across variable ice conditions.
Immobilization of antimicrobial agents via physical and chemical modifications on medical-grade polycaprolactone for the prevention of biomaterial-related infections
Authors:   , Cometta Conde Silvia
Published: April 2023

Biomaterial-associated infections are one of the major causes of implant failure. These infections result from persistent bacteria that rapidly attach, aggregate, and form a biofilm on the implant surface, a protective matrix that helps them evade the host defence system, and external agents such as antibiotics. In this thesis, two novel biomaterial strategies for the prevention of bacterial infections were developed by the physicochemical immobilization of albumin/tannic acid, and the antimicrobial peptide melimine, on medical-grade polycaprolactone surfaces. Both systems showed high stability and efficacy against bacteria colonization and biofilm formation, offering promising alternatives to the use of prophylactic antibiotic treatment.
Omniscjencja kryminalistyczna sądu i prokuratora na przykładzie jednej sprawy o zabójstwo

Wszechwiedza jest atrybutem „posiadania wiedzy o wszystkim”. Omniscjencja kryminalistyczna wymagana jest od sędziego i prokuratora. Prokurator musi wiedzieć, komu i jaki pytania może zadać. Sędzia, aby ocenić wydaną opinię, musi dysponować wiedzą kryminalistyczną – taką samą jak biegły. Nauki sądowe szybko się rozwijają. Podstawowym sposobem zdobywania współczesnej wiedzy jest samokształcenie. Taka metoda jest niewystarczająca i dlatego obecny sposób propagowania wiedzy kryminalistycznej wśród sędziów i prokuratorów wymaga zmian.
The Effect of Corporate Governance on firm financial Performance with Mediating Role of Earnings Management. Evidence from Pakistan Stock Exchange
Authors: Manan Fazal , Amin Kashif
Published: April 2023

The paper investigates the impact of Corporate Governance on firm financial performance in Pakistani listed firms, with earnings management acting as a mediator. The study employed 191 non-financial companies that are listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange from 2010 to 2019. Several diagnostic tests were run before applying the panel data model to the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS). The four variables used as proxies for Corporate Governance are board size, board independence, audit committee size, and ownership concentration. Financial performance may be approximated by the return on assets (ROA), while earnings management can be approximated by the discretionary accrual (DA). The research relied on Kothari et al., 2005 to determine DA rates. Findings suggest that Board Independence and Audit Committee size are important corporate governance factors for influencing earnings management. Earnings management is also intrinsically linked to a company's performance. The research used a four-stage mediation process developed by (Baron & Kenny, 1986). As earnings management was shown to be the only mediator between board independence and company financial performance, this finding suggests that the presence of independent directors boosts firm performance by reducing earnings management. Earnings management has no effect on the remaining corporate governance variables studied. It is Pakistan's first study to use earnings management as a mediating factor and to calculate discretionary accruals using the Kothari, Leone, and Wasley (2005) method. According to the study, board independence improves a firm's financial performance only by limiting management's earnings management activities

Published: April 2023

O Brasil é referência mundial em plantio de Eucalyptus, com mais de 7 milhões de hectares cultivados com espécies/híbridos do gênero. Os plantios são constituídos por genótipos de alta produtividade desenvolvidos e selecionados em programas de melhoramento. De maneira geral existem clones selecionados para as diversas regiões do país, em que as condições ambientais exercem forte influência na escolha desses genótipos. Nos últimos anos tem havido queda na produtividade, a qual é atribuída a mudanças climáticas, como aumento das temperaturas e redução na quantidade de chuvas. Essa situação levou a necessidade de reavaliação da capacidade de adaptação de clones a ambientes diversos daqueles para o qual foram selecionados. Oito genótipos selecionados para diferentes regiões foram plantados em Jaboticabal, SP e aos cinco anos de idade foram avaliados quanto ao diâmetro do fuste e volume de madeira.  Foi possível a distinção de dois grupos, com maior (C1, C3, C4, C7 e C8) e menor (C2, C5 e C6) produtividade. Os genótipos de maior crescimento correspondem àqueles procedentes de regiões com clima similar ao local de plantio, evidenciando que estes podem se adaptar a essa condição. Os genótipos de menor produtividade (procedentes de regiões mais frias) não seriam indicados para plantio nessa região.
Writing Early America: From Empire to Revolution
Authors: Burnard Trevor
Published: April 2023

Writing Early America is a field report into the current historiography of the large body of historical writings on the broad field of early America in the eighteenth century, between the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713 and the end of the American Revolution around 1784, as seen in journal literature written in the last decade. Its findings are based on a close reading and interpretation of nearly 400 articles in leading journals, providing an unprecedented examination of the major themes that have animated the research of current historians: Indigenous history; slavery and race; and gender. The book's chapters also highlight how important notions of empire have become in providing a framework for colonial American history and even more so for new scholarship on the American Revolution, in which this crucial event in American, British, and world history is increasingly seen as part of a larger Age of Revolutions more than being an event important for creating the new nation of the United States. As such, this is the first book in over thirty years to give to advanced undergraduate and graduate students and scholars a comprehensive guide to the historiography of this rich field.
Influence of team pressing on match performance in highest-level soccer; preliminary report
Authors: Modric Toni , Gabrilo Goran , Sekulič Damir
Published: April 2023

Considering lack of studies which investigated pressing behaviour in soccer, this study aimed to preliminary examine the influence of successful team pressing on team running performance (TRP) and team technical-tactical performance (TTP). All data were obtained from UEFA Champions League (UCL) matches (n=20) using optical system InStat Fitness. The TRP variables included total distance covered, low-intensity running (<4 m/s), running (4–5.5 m/s), high speed running (5.5–7 m/s) and sprinting (>7 m/s). The TTP variables included total actions shots on target, passes, key passes, crosses, dribbles, final third entries and penalty area entries. Linear mixed models were used to examine influence of successful team pressing on TRP and TTP. TRP was similar irrespective to number of successful pressings (t = -0.13 to 0.67, p < 0.05, all trivial to small effects sizes). All TTP tend to increase when higher rate of successful team pressings was utilized (t = 2.33 to 5.18, all p < 0.05, all large effects sizes). These findings show that i) successfully employed pressing style of play does not require increased physical performance, ii) that team pressing may be an effective tool for achieving greater success in highest-level soccer. This study may help soccer coaches to better understand physical and technical-tactical profiles of teams that utilize pressing style of play.

Published: April 2023

This study aimed to compare the effects of handgrip and range of motion (ROM) variations on muscle activity in different deltoid exercises. 14 resistance-trained men volunteered for 1RM and EMG testing with a load corresponding to 80% of 1RM. The subjects performed three different handgrips during Dumbell Front Raise (DFR), two different ROM variations for Dumbell Lateral Raise (DLR), and two different handgrips during Dumbell Rear Delt Raise (DRDR). Electromyogram (EMG) activity was measured in the anterior, medial, and posterior heads of deltoids. For the DFR exercise, the highest mean EMG activity was greater for the anterior deltoid, and the highest activity was observed in pronate grip (PG) con (51.57%). For the anterior deltoid EMG activity was significantly greater in PG con (51.57%) compared with hammer grip (HG) con (43.36%) (p˂0.05). HG ecc activity (40.36%) was significantly greater than PG ecc (36.4%) in posterior deltoid (p˂0.05).  For the DLR exercise, the highest activity was observed in medial deltoid, and for limited ROM (LTR) (20.74%). LTR con activity (19.37%) was significantly greater than full ROM con (FLR) (16.88%) in the anterior head (p˂0.05). For the DRDR exercise, the mean activity was greater in medial deltoid, and HG con showed the highest activity (24.47%).  The mean electromyography activity for the posterior deltoid was significantly greater in standard grip (STD) ecc compared with HG ecc (17.3%) (p˂0.05). In conclusion, for the heads of the deltoid muscle, the use of the different handgrip and ROM variations may increase neuromuscular activity.

Power Failure and Entrepreneurial Behaviour in Akwa Ibom State
Authors: Brownson Christabel D.
Published: April 2023

Reliable electricity supply is a vital tool for successful operations of entrepreneurial businesses. However, unreliable power supply is one of the greatest problems confronting business activities in Nigeria. Although several research works have been done on the subject, none of such studies have examined power failure and entrepreneurial behaviour of entrepreneurs in Akwa Ibom State. It is therefore the aim of this study to investigate power failure and entrepreneurial behaviour of entrepreneurs in Uyo metropolis of Akwa Ibom State. Using a descriptive design, 120 entrepreneurs were examined purposively for the study. Findings revealed that frequent power failure in terms of power outage adversely affect the operations of the businesses in the state with high and low voltage damaging the machineries used by the entrepreneurs to operate their businesses leading to constant repairs, replacement, loss of patronage and impeding the growth of their businesses. Hence, it is recommended that the government should do more to arrest the issue of unreliable energy supply in the state to boost businesses and reduce high cost of operation due to the usage of personally sourced alternative power supply.
On Disentanglement and Mutual Information in Semi-Supervised Variational Auto-Encoders
Authors: Gordon-Rodriguez Elliott
Published: April 2023

In the context of variational auto-encoders, learning disentangled latent variable representations remains a challenging problem. In this abstract, we consider the semi supervised setting, in which the factors of variation are labeled for a small fraction of our samples. We examine how the quality of learned representations is affected by the dimension of the unsupervised component of the latent space. We also consider a variational lower bound for the mutual information between the data and the semi-supervised component of the latent space, and analyze its role in the context of disentangled representation learning.

This experimental in vivo purpose of this study was to look into the immunomodulatory effects of purified staphylokinase produced by local clinical Staphylococcus aureus isolates compared with streptokinase which is used as a thrombolytic agent. All mice (40) injected intramuscularly (i.m.) with different concentrations of the purified lyophilized staphylokinase and streptokinase for 12 days, and immunized with 10% SRBCs (i.p) on day 4 and 8 of the schedule, and Staphylococcus aureus suspension and normal saline for positive and negative control groups. Focus on the estimation of Arthus and delayed-type hypersensitivity with the absolute neutrophil count, measurement of antibody titter by Hemagglutination, and detecting serum concentration of cytokines (IL4 -IL10 -IL 17) and TLR-2 by using sandwich ELISA. The statistical analysis found a significant difference (P ≤ 0.01) between staphylokinase and streptokinase treated groups and control groups (positive and negative). The data showed an increase in cytokine levels in treated groups compared with control groups. Observed in A2 (4µg staphylokinase) and B2 (4µg streptokinase)groups, also significant elevation (P ≤ 0.01) of IL-10 level in all groups as compared to positive and negative control groups but the highest value was observed in A3 (8µg) and B3 (8µg) group. In conclusion, the staphylokinase is better than streptokinase because of the increasing level of IL-10 and less appearance of hypersensitivity, so decline in IL-4 and its small size, in addition, to act as an immunomodulator that indicates the possibility to use in the treatment of thrombosis.

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of Kinesiotape in the lower limb area on improving locomotion in patients with ischemic stroke. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in the period 2014-2015 at the General Hospital for Active Treatment in Blagoevgrad. Forty patients were studied, divided into two groups of 20 patients - experimental (EG) and control group (KG). In addition, we have applied а standard kinesitherapy program in the two studied groups, in the experimental group, 3 kinesiotape tapes with a specific application "I" shape and a specialized method of application in the field of the foot and m. gluteus maximuswere placed. The results were compared with the results of the patients from the control group and processed with descriptive statistics, as well as non-parametric tests to prove statistically significant differences. Results: After research and analysis, we obtained faster recovery of locomotion in the experimental group and slowing of locomotor movements in the control group (Wilcoxon, ANOVA). Conclusion: The results of our research show that the application of the author's methodology with kinesiotape creates an opportunity to improve the functions in the damaged lower limb, improves locomotion and quality of life.

Introdução: O parto vaginal é recomendado pela comunidade internacional de saúde como via preferível de parto para as gestantes que não se enquadram nas recomendações da cirurgia cesariana para a redução de riscos de morbimortalidade materna e neonatal. Entretanto, apesar de a taxa ideal de partos cesarianos residir em 10–15% em quaisquer regiões mundiais, segundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), observa-se tendência de aumento na escolha e na execução dessa via, seja por parte da gestante, seja por parte do obstetra responsável. Uma análise transversal dos partos realizados no Brasil no período entre 2018 e 2021 revela que tal crescente também é verdadeira em território nacional. Objetivos: Comparar a incidência de parto normal e de parto cesariano nas regiões do Brasil, entre 2018 e 2021. Materiais e métodos: O presente artigo é um estudo transversal, que visa à análise e à comparação da realização de partos normais e de partos cesarianos no Brasil e individualmente em cada região, entre os anos de 2018 e 2021. Para isso, foi feita a abordagem quantitativa, que se traduz nos números e nos dados coletados, analisados pelo Sistema de Informações Hospitalares (SIH) e acessados pelo Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS, Tabnet). Tais dados foram organizados em tabelas e gráficos utilizando o Microsoft Excel® (v.16.52). Resultados: Na análise dos dados, nota-se que é crescente, a cada ano, o número de cesarianas, que passou de 44 a 47% dos partos registrados no Brasil entre os anos de 2018 e 2021, ao passo que o parto normal se apresenta em queda no país, saindo de 56 para 53% nesse mesmo período. Em duas regiões do Brasil (Centro-Oeste e Sul), nos anos de 2020 e de 2021, foi observada uma mudança no padrão até então observado nas regiões, na medida em que, no Centro-Oeste, a porcentagem igualou-se a 50% em ambas as vias em 2020 e, em 2021, 51% eram apenas cesáreas. Já na Região Sul, nesse mesmo período, foi registrada prevalência de 51% de partos cesarianos no ano de 2020, que se manteve em 2021. Nas outras regiões do país, o número de partos naturais ainda é maior do que o de partos cirúrgicos, mesmo com o constante aumento do número de cesáreas. Conclusão: Diante do exposto, contrariando as expectativas da OMS de apenas 15% de cesáreas na totalidade de partos realizados, no Brasil, o número de partos cirúrgicos foi crescente entre os anos de 2018 e 2021, ao passo que a incidência de parto normal apresentou queda de 3% ao longo desses anos. Ademais, ao se compararem as diferentes regiões, revela-se a prevalência de parto cesáreo nas Regiões Centro-Oeste e Sul, sendo necessários estudos adicionais epidemiológicos que demonstrem quais fatores estão relacionados à sobreposição pregressa do parto cirúrgico ao natural nessas regiões.
