Authors: Maharani Mega Selvi , Rahmaniar Yessi
Published: July 2023

A radical or liberal practice as a form of understanding that is too self-controlled and does not justify other people's understanding, thus causing violence, hoaxes, SARA issues which mutually undermine other people's understanding. The purpose of this study is to analyze and describe how religious moderation is implemented in the curriculum at the elementary school or madrasah. The type of research used is qualitative research using library research methods. Starting from collect the data journals, books, etc., then analyzing and describing the conclusion. The results of the study are that religious moderation carried out in educational institutions is very effective where educational institutions are places that easily provide religious moderation education for each student. Islamic religious education must also be able to provide learning that is very effective in providing Islamic religious teaching material and adapting it to real life, where PAI has basically provided education about moderation. The role of the government and educational institutions to carry out a curriculum development containing religious moderation needs to be done to provide a middle way or a solution to minimize the existence of violent practices, injustice in the school environment or in the social community.

One of the non-tax revenues in Indonesia is generated by services at Immigration Sector which is currently showing significant changes and activities. Public services provided to all citizens must be excellent and in line with the needs of the community itself. This study used a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with PRISMA Method which also searched for articles using Scopus and ScienceDirect database because those have good reputable nationally and internationally by academics. The study resulted in 2 (two) policies in Immigration through analysis of the results of the search for the article. The first is to improve developing immigration services and the latest innovations from digital Immigration and to promote a humanist approach and accountability for its services and ease of access given. Moreover, monopoly on human resources at Immigration is currently carried out in vital cooperation due to national security and state policy especially related to intelligence analysis. Meanwhile, cooperation with other parties is limited to providing space, education in terms of increasing human resources, and cooperation to exchange information with certain parties. The conclusion of this study led to 2 research results, which are policies to improve services and policies to strengthen immigration. The suggestions for future research are in-depth field research using qualitative or quantitative method on immigration agencies and other contributive factors to state revenue.

Authors: Mallart-Solaz Albert
Published: July 2023

Este estudio explora bloqueos emergentes al resolver problemas, cómo suscitarlos y superarlos con 53 alumnos de Didáctica de Geometría en Primaria. Para ello se diseñan cuestionarios y tareas, y se proponen lecturas de expertos, discusiones grupales y resolución y creación de problemas. Se toman tres orígenes de bloqueos: afectivo, cognoscitivo, cultural y ambiental. Se concluye que identificar propios bloqueos resolviendo problemas no implica saber provocarlos, que ser competente creando problemas y tener un listado de bloqueos no garantiza saber provocarlos, que estudiar cómo superar bloqueos no basta para ayudar a superarlos y que detectar bloqueos y superarlos no implica la resolución correcta.

Published: July 2023

Introduction: Youth use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes/vapes) is rising globally. Identifying the factors driving this increase is important, in order to prevent health harms. One factor that may be associated with youth appeal is the flavour description on e-liquid packaging. Methods: We conducted an online observational study in a UK sample of 120 adolescent participants (aged 11–17 years). We compared subjective responses to e-liquid packaging flavour descriptions (primary analyses: flavoured versus unflavoured; secondary analyses: candy/sweet flavour versus fruit flavour). Outcome variables were packaging appraisal, packaging receptivity, perceived harm, and perceived audience.Results: Packaging appraisal ratings were higher for e-liquids with flavoured versus unflavoured descriptions (mean difference 5.9, 95% CI 4.2 to 7.6, p <.001). Likewise, packaging receptivity ratings were higher for e-liquids with flavoured versus unflavoured descriptions (mean difference 4.2, 95% CI 2.8 to 5.6, p <.001, respectively). Adolescents also perceived e-liquids with flavoured (versus unflavoured) descriptions as less grown-up (mean difference -5.2, 95% CI -7.3 to -3.1, p <.001). However, we did not find evidence for a difference in perceived harm. Conclusions: Although there were differences in subjective ratings of e-liquids with flavoured and unflavoured descriptions, adolescents generally had low appraisal and receptivity for e-liquids, and they perceived them as being grown-up and harmful. Further research is needed to examine adolescent responses to flavour descriptions on additional e-cigarette products (e.g., disposable vapes), and other aspects of e-cigarette packaging (e.g., colours, imagery, and branding), before making policy recommendations.
The Effects of Mind-Wandering, Cognitive Load and Task Engagement on Working Memory Performance in Remote Online Experiments
Authors: Cotton Kelly , Sandry Joshua , Ricker Timothy
Published: July 2023

Recent events have led to a change in environments from in-person to remote work for many people. This change presents several issues for work, education, and research, particularly related to cognitive performance, as the remote environment may have more distractors. An increase in distraction is one factor that may lead to increases in mind-wandering and disengagement with the task at hand, whether it is a virtual meeting, an online lecture or a psychological experiment. The present study investigated effects of mind-wandering and multitasking during working memory tasks in remote and in-person environments. In two experiments, participants completed a working memory task with varied cognitive load during a secondary task. After each working memory trial, we asked participants about their mind-wandering during that trial. Some participants completed the procedures in-person, while others completed the procedures remotely. While overall remote participants reported significantly more mind-wandering and poorer secondary task performance than the in-person participants, this pattern was not reflected in their working memory accuracy and both groups exhibited similar multitasking effects on memory performance. Additional analyses found that for remote participants the level of engagement with the task was a better predictor of working memory performance than either cognitive load or mind-wandering rates, but in a manner that did not indicate a tradeoff in resources between tasks. Together, these results demonstrate the importance of considering multiple metrics when assessing performance and illustrate that making assumptions about the equivalence of remote and in person work is a risky proposition.
Reclaiming Our Narratives: An Indigenous Evaluation Framework for Urban American Indian/Alaska Native Communities
Authors: Locklear Sofia , Hesketh Martell , Begay Natalyn , Brixey Jennifer , Echo-Hawk Abigail , James Rosalina
Published: July 2023

Aligning with the Western Door—Do Good Work, this article outlines Urban Indian Health Institute’s (UIHI) Indigenous Evaluation Framework, created to explicitly include and empower urban Indigenous communities to reclaim their narratives by using evaluation as a tool to tell their stories and to build capacity to take ownership of research and evaluation. The framework includes the following core values: Urban Indigenous People Create Communities Wherever They Are, Resilient and Strength-Based, Decolonize Data, and Community Centered. The authors provide an overview of how they applied the framework in collaboration with 18 urban Indian organizations through the UIHI’s community grants program and include a first-hand example of implementation of the framework from the Native American Youth and Family Center, a community grantee. The authors highlight the importance of including urban Indigenous people in evaluation contexts, as evaluation is not just an exercise in methods or logistics but also a political act and an assertion of Indigenous values and sovereignty, one that defines who is counted, how people are counted, and what decisions are made. The UIHI’s Indigenous Evaluation Framework aims to decolonize data to reclaim urban Indigenous narratives from colonial understandings and tell the stories of our communities.
IMPACT OF E-RECRUITMENT ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF HR MANAGEMENT IN COMPANIES: THE CASE OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA
Authors: Đonlagić Alibegović Sabina , Ajanović Vedrana , Džambić Amina
Published: July 2023

Human resources play a significant role in a company as human capital affects the company´s success and competitiveness. Effective HR management helps the company achieve its goals. Key HR activities in acquiring human capital are recruitment, training, and retention of employees. Finding the right employees is of great importance to a company and this process should be fast and efficient. E-recruitment, as an ICT-based process, can increase the efficiency of the recruitment process and HRM. Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) is struggling with strong migration processes, mostly the workforce since numerous youth and families are migrating to Europe. This affects the ability of companies to find new employees, retain existing employees and attract talented ones. The main aim of this paper is to investigate to what extent the companies in B&H use e-recruitment and how it affects the overall effectiveness of the HR management process. The paper is based on survey research conducted among 100 medium and large companies with developed HR departments in B&H. The results indicate that the companies are aware of the importance of HR for the company´s success, they are aware of technological advances and the impact of ICT on the HRM processes, but they still do not rely only on e-recruitment in acquiring new talents and employees. However, the results also indicate that the e-recruitment process leads to the time and cost efficiency of the HR recruitment process.

The article is devoted to the theoretical aspects of branding in the marketing activities of a modern enterprise, and also the definition of effective marketing tools in its management. Formation of a sales system, realization of marketing activities at the highest level, public service are the tasks that must be performed as a result of the competent marketing policy implementation of any enterprise. However, not all business entities are currently aware of the crucial role of a thorough analysis of the marketing activities of enterprise, which determined the relevance of the topic of this research. It was found that today an extremely important tool of marketing activities is a brand, which both enterprises and consumers attach more and more importance to. Big profits also depend on a well-created brand, because a person will choose those products or services that he knows and trusts. Strong and unique brands, which are reinforced by the support of enthusiastic managers, become the soul and body of modern enterprises. The success and attractiveness of a brand depends precisely on its creators and thus creates a new type of enterprises with competitive advantages, being at the same time driving and powerful forces of business growth. It was found that the main characteristics of enterprise brands are values of goods or services, distinctive features of goods or services, recognition and emotions that are got by buyers from consuming goods or services. The structure of the enterprise's brand is defined, which includes: logo, logo components and color (color gamma). It has been studied that using brand is not always effective. Therefore, it was determined that a unique brand can be used at the enterprise itself, on its own website and social networks, in advertising and informational materials and related products. A properly created brand brings big profits. It is a human need to gravitate towards things that he knows, trusts and wants to own. Strong brands with unique appeal, supported by the enthusiastic managers, become the body and soul of modern enterprises. And the most successful is the brand created for each type of product, which makes it possible to single out a product, which should take a certain position on the market.
KEY PRIORITIES OF THE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY OF UKRAINE'S AGRICULTURE
Authors:   International University of Science and Technology named after Academician Yuri Bugay, Chub Anton
Published: July 2023

The current state of the agricultural industry of Ukraine, which, without exaggeration, occupies a key place in the world agricultural market, is analyzed. But despite certain successes, the agrarian industry requires reforms, which is why there is currently a tendency in Ukrainian agribusiness to consolidate structures and form agroholdings that absorb small farms. It is emphasized that the low level of innovative activity of agro-industrial complex enterprises in Ukraine is not only due to insufficient state financial support, but also due to the lack of qualified specialists, lack of experience in conducting innovation and investment activities, lagging behind the level of the technical and technological base, etc. It was noted that the lack of new approaches to conducting innovative investment activities, targeted production of highly competitive agricultural products and the introduction of innovative equipment, technologies or modernized means leads to the failure to implement plans for the development of the agricultural industry in Ukraine. The main influencing factors on the development of the agro-industrial complex were identified and a set of measures of an organizational and economic nature were proposed, which are implemented on the basis of the concept and ensure the effective functioning of the agro-industrial complex. The main goals of the Comprehensive Strategy for the Development of the Agricultural Industry of Ukraine have been formulated and the proposed concept, which is a step-by-step algorithm, and the implementation of the proposed directions will ensure the creation of conditions for the attractiveness of labor in the agricultural industry, agricultural producers with new technologies, technicians, will increase the level of use of land, labor resources, fixed and circulating assets, will ensure accelerated access of agricultural organizations to scientific developments, recommendations of scientific research institutions due to the interconnection of production, science, education and business, will increase the competitiveness of products on the basis of reducing losses, cost, and ensuring innovation. The five instruments that were proposed have the goal that each country and region, each urban agglomeration and population will increase incomes, reduce business risks and increase employment, and each of the five instruments will contribute to the development of agro-industrial complex in Ukraine and facilitate the process attract investments in agribusiness, increase the competitiveness of agribusiness and the agro-industrial complex, increase food security.
INFORMATION SUBBASE FOR ENSURING ECONOMIC SECURITY OF INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES
Authors:   Uzhhorod National University, Andriyiv Nataliia
Published: July 2023

Security activity in the conditions of Ukrainian industrial enterprises creates the necessary basis for their functioning and development despite a critically high level of uncertainty and insufficient state support. The actions of security entities, based on the acquired experience and available resources, provide for the primary elimination of the consequences of the implementation of internal threats, in particular, in relation to the financial component of the economic security of the enterprise. This form of organization of security activities is becoming less and less effective due to the high dynamics of the external environment, in particular in terms of the materiality of the impact of threats that are associated with changes in the national economy, COVID-19, military actions, etc. The study is focused on the consideration of the main trends in the development of industry and in terms of individual types of economic activity as a necessary addition in the formation of information and analytical support for the safety of industrial enterprises. In order to form the informational basis for ensuring the economic security of industrial enterprises, the following methods were applied: induction and deduction, comparison and systematization – when studying the peculiarities of the financial and economic activity of industrial enterprises; synthesis and analysis – to characterize the trends in the change of the main indicators characterizing the activity of enterprises of the food, pharmaceutical, and machine-building industries; morphological analysis – to specify the parameters of information and analytical support for the safety of industrial enterprises; graphic – for visual presentation of theoretical and methodical material; abstract-logical – for theoretical generalizations and research conclusions. The need to improve the information and analytical support of security activities through the expansion of the horizons of constant monitoring has been proven, by consistently examining the dynamics of three indicators (number of enterprises, volume of products sold, number of employees) in relation to enterprises of the food, pharmaceutical, and machine-building industries. The results of tracking changes in three main indicators proved the high dynamism of the operating environment of industrial enterprises under the influence of a significant number of factors, the content of which in some cases is common, which is indicated by a certain synchronicity in the change in the number of business structures, but also differs due to the specifics of each individual type of economic activity, which related to the level of need for industrial products to meet certain needs. Making changes to the information and analytical support of security activities should ensure the identification of threats by security entities at the early stages of formation with the corresponding development and implementation of anticipatory measures.
Modeling climate change impact on dryland wheat production for increased crop yield in the Free State, South Africa, using GCM projections and the DSSAT model
Authors: Ajilogba Caroline F. , Walker Sue
Published: July 2023

Introduction: The impact of climate change on food production in South Africa is likely to increase due to low rainfall and frequent droughts, resulting in food insecurity in the future. The use of well-calibrated and validated crop models with climate change data is important for assessing climate change impacts and developing adaptation strategies. In this study, the decision support system for agrotechnology transfer (DSSAT) crop model was used to predict yield using observed and projected climate data.

Materials and Methods: Climate, soil, and crop management data were collected from wheat-growing study sites in Bethlehem, South Africa. The DSSAT wheat model (CROPSIM-CERES) used was already calibrated, and validated by Serage et al. (Evaluating Climate Change Adaptation Strategies for Disaster Risk Management: Case Study for Bethlehem Wheat Farmers, South Africa, 2017) using three wheat cultivar coefficients obtained from the cultivar adaptation experiment by the ARC-Small Grain Institute. The model was run with historical climate data for the eastern Free State (Bethlehem) from 1999 to 2018 as the baseline period. To determine the effects of climate change, the crop model simulation for wheat was run with future projections from four Global Climate Models (GCM): BCC-CSM1_1, GFDL-ESM2G, ENSEMBLE, and MIROC from 2020 to 2077.

Results: The average wheat yield for the historic climate data was 1145.2 kg/ha and was slightly lower than the highest average yield of 1215.9 kg/ha from GCM ENSEMBLE during Representative concentration pathways (RCP) 2.6, while the lowest yield of 29.8 kg/ha was produced during RCP 8.5 (GCM GFDL-ESM2G). Model GFDL-ESM2G produced low yields (29.8–47.74 kg/ha) during RCP 8.5 and RCP 6.0, respectively. The yield range for GCM BCC-CSM1_1 was 770.2 kg/ha during RCP 2.6 to 921.68 kg/ha during RCP 4.5 and 547.84 kg/ha during RCP 8.5 to 700.22 kg/ha during RCP 2.6 for GCM MIROC.

Conclusion: This study showed a declining trend in yield for future climate projections from RCP2.6 to RCP8.5, indicating that the possible impacts of higher temperatures and reduced rainfall in the projected future climate will slightly decrease wheat production in the eastern Free State. Adaptation measures to mitigate the potential impact of climate change could include possible changes in planting dates and cultivars. Using a crop model to simulate the response of crops to variations in weather conditions can be useful to generate advisories for farmers to prevent low yield.

Our understanding of synchrony between populations from different taxonomic groups has been centered on predator–prey dynamics in simple systems but has rarely been examined in complex predator–prey systems. In addition to trophic interactions such as predator–prey dynamics, there is some evidence that exogenous factor such as climatic variation may facilitate synchrony between different taxonomic groups. Using three longitudinal datasets on quail (Colinus virginianus) and cotton rats (Sigmodon hispidus) we examined 1) the consistency of synchrony across time and space, 2) the relative influence of trophic interactions vs. exogenous factors on synchrony and 3) if trophic interactions were positively associated with synchrony between populations. We found evidence of consistent synchrony in cotton rat and bobwhite populations at both the site and regional levels. We found that trophic interactions between cotton rats and bobwhite were associated with relative synchrony between these populations, but these interactions appeared to weaken in years of greater synchrony. We did not find evidence that exogenous factors influenced relative synchrony at the regional level. Given the lack of a clear mechanistic explanation of the patterns observed in our data, we propose an alternative climate-mediated predation framework to explain synchrony in complex predator–prey systems. This framework includes both classic bottom-up theories of regulation while integrating trophic interactions via components of the shared predator hypothesis.

Secondary plasma cell leukemia (sPCL) is a rare form of aggressive plasma cell malignancy arising mostly at end-stage refractory multiple myeloma and consequently presenting limited therapeutic options. We analyzed 13 sPCL for their sensitivity to BH3 mimetics targeting either BCL2 (venetoclax) or BCLXL (A1155463) and showed that 3 sPCL were efficiently killed by venetoclax and 3 sPCL by A1155463. Accordingly, BH3 profiling of 2 sPCL sensitive to BCLXL inhibition confirmed their high BCLXL primed profile. While targeting BCLXL using BH3 mimetics induces platelets on-target drug toxicity, the recent development of DT2216, a clinical-stage BCLXL proteolysis targeting chimera PROTAC compound, provides an alternative strategy to target BCLXL. Indeed, DT2216 specifically degrades BCLXL via VHL E3 ligase, without inducing thrombocytopenia. We demonstrated in human myeloma cell lines and sPCL that sensitivity to DT2216 strongly correlated with the sensitivity to A1155463. Interestingly, we showed that low doses of DT2216 (nM range) were sufficient to specifically degrade BCLXL after 48 hours of treatment, consistent with VHL expression, in all cell lines but irrespectively to DT2216 sensitivity. In myeloma cells, DT2216 induced apoptotic cell death and triggered BAX and BAK activation. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that patients with sPCL addicted to BCLXL, a small but a very challenging group, could potentially receive therapeutic benefit from DT2216. Clinical trials of DT2216 in this subset of sPCL patients are warranted.

Одним з факторів забезпечення надійної й довговічної роботи вітроустановок є достовірне визначення на стадії проєктування навантажень, що виникають у процесі орієнтації ротора за напрямком повітряного потоку. У вітроустановках малої потужності орієнтація ротора в основному здійснюється з використанням парусності флюгерної площини хвоста. За такої схеми швидкість орієнтації ротора може змінюватись в широких межах залежно від параметрів вітрового потоку та параметрів системи орієнтації, що, відповідно, викликає аналогічні зміни навантажень у лопатях та інших елементах кон-струкції вітроустановки. Все це потребує постійних удосконалень математичних моделей систем орієн-тації ротора для максимального наближення їх до реального фізичного процесу. В цій роботі запропоновано удосконалені математичні моделі орієнтації ротора флюгерною площиною з урахуванням додаткових параметрів системи орієнтації, як-от: момент від тангенціальної сили, момент демпфування ротора та додаткових пристроїв; уточнено величину зміщення центра лобового тиску на ротор та вирази для окремих моментів тертя. При цьому вказані математичні моделі були розроблені для випадків з урахуванням та без урахування режимів роботи ротора, тобто коли в процесі орієнтації ротора його оберти та лобовий тиск змінюються залежно від кута набігання повітряного потоку на ротор або залишаються незмінними.
