THE MEDIATING EFFECT OF PLACE ATTACHMENT ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SENIOR CITIZEN ACTIVITY INVOLVEMENT AND ACTIVITY SATISFACTION - A CASE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF LEISURE MANAGEMENT
Authors: Chen Yi-Chen , Chiang Ching-Wen
Published: November 2023

At present, most countries in the world regard aging in place as the main goal of the elderly society. Meanwhile, senior citizens are encouraged to participate in community activities, and long-term care (LTC) resources are provided in the community. Previous studies have also mentioned that activity involvement and place attachment are more likely to affect activity satisfaction Therefore, the purpose of this study is to use place attachment as the mediating variable to explore the influence of the relationship between activity involvement and activity satisfaction. By the survey method, a total of 400 questionnaires were sent out, and 387 valid questionnaires were recovered. The analysis results revealed that activity involvement and place attachment has a significant positive influence with activity satisfaction respectively. Place attachment only has a mediating effect on the relationship between the self-expression (dimension of activity involvement) and the psychological satisfaction (dimension of activity satisfaction). Relevant management suggestions are also put forward.

Authors: Selamat Frangky
Published: November 2023

The crisis due to the pandemic has had a great negative impact on the survival of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in various regions in Indonesia. Some gave up and closed their businesses. Some still survive and even continue to grow until now. For SMEs that persist, it is suspected that they have carried out a series of experiments so that their business survives. Experimental activities are carried out from modifying the product to changing the business model. This study was conducted to analyze the effect of subjective norms, namely family and closest friends, on the experimental behavior of SMEs mediated by intention. The theory of planned behavior is used to explain the relationship between these variables. The survey respondents are SME actors, totaling 35 people and running their businesses in Jakarta. The results showed that experimental behavior was influenced by intention, but subjective norms did not affect intention significantly. The presence of friends and family has a weak impact on SMEs to conduct a series of experiments on their business in order to maintain business sustainability.

Religious Meditations and Mediation in Selected Plays of Wole Soyinka
Authors: Afolayan Kayode
Published: November 2023

Major critical inquiries into the theatre of Wole Soyinka agree that his plays draw inspiration from two basic levels. One, which is a purely mythic consciousness perceptible in his early plays such as such as The Road and A Dance of the Forests, presents his etherealisation of African spiritualities and their interpolations with modern existence. The other is a social or political consciousness which deploys those mythic forms from ancestral memory (especially that of Ogun) as intervening tools on the conditions of dystopia in the postcolonial Nigerian landscape mirrored in his plays. By focusing on his plays The Trials of Brother Jero, Death and the King’s Horseman, Requiem for a Futurologist and Alapata Apata, this article argues that these two thrusts are harmonised in Soyinka’s mimesis on spiritualities or religion in his dramaturgy.  The article locates the ambivalences in Soyinka’s refractions on spiritualities which anchor on the polarities of meditation and mediation and recognises that while meditation gives allowance for the playwright to engage on the locus of spiritualities, mediation is inspired by the crises of “modern” spiritualities which is one of the malaises in Soyinka’s hybridised postcolonial space. The conclusion of the article is sceptical about Soyinka’s prescription of hybridised spiritualities as panacea to the crises of religion but sees the need for continuous dialogue as precursor to mutual understanding and cohabitation between adherents of diverse spiritualities in the pluralised communities.
The Customary and Existing Order: Reconsidering the Role of Yamm in the Baal Myth
Authors: Putrawan Bobby Kurnia , Noya Ludwig Beethoven Jones , Santoso Agus , Iswahyudi
Published: November 2023

The conflict between Baal and Yamm in the Baal Cycle’s opening is notably considered a challenging scene to understand. This paper sees Yamm’s role as representing the customary and existing order rather than chaos or disorder. Such a function is revealed through Baal’s double paternity in the cycle. Instead of justifying one of the possibilities to read the conflict, this concept reconciles all possibilities in an alternative reading. Under the idea of Yamm as the customary and existing order, and Baal as the one who is attempting to disrupt the order, one can read the conflict politically, domestically, and naturally. However, as Baal’s propaganda, the defeated Yamm had to be portrayed as the opposite of order, namely chaos. The customary order has been broken and depicted as chaos for a political purpose: to promote the new order.

Oil Formation Volume Factor Prediction Using Artificial Neural Network: A Case Study of Niger Delta Crudes
Authors: Okoro Chiebuka , Nwachukwu Angela
Published: November 2023

Artificial intelligence techniques provide an alternative to conventional empirical correlation methods when experimentally determined oil formation volume factors (OFVF) are lacking.  A new mathematical model is proposed using an artificial neural network (ANN) for estimating the OFVF for the Niger Delta crude oils. The method consists of two stages: data decorrelation through principal component analysis (PCA) and OFVF estimation through ANN. Data decorrelation was used to reduce redundancy in the data which decreased the number of neurons in the hidden layer needed for an ANN to achieve high accuracy. In the development of the model, 316 data points were obtained from the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.  Application of data cleaning, outliers’ elimination and PCA analysis reduced the data to 243 points. 213 data points were used to develop the model of which 75% was used for training, 15% for validation and 10% for testing. The remaining 30 data points were used to test the predictive capability of the proposed model. The results obtained were compared with widely accepted empirical correlations of Standing, Glaso, Vazquez, Ikiensikimama & Ajienka, and Al-Marhoun. The proposed new model performed better than all of them in terms of coefficient of correlation, AAPE and RMSE. Hence the ANN model will reduce cost, save time, and also predict the OFVF of Niger Delta crudes with higher precision.

Published: November 2023

Voltage generation was obtained using a water droplet characterization on a taro (Colocasia esculenta L) leaf surface. This method relies on the superhydrophobic effect from the contact angle between the water droplet and the taro leaf’s surface allowing electron jumping and voltage generation. Water droplets were dropped on the top of taro leaf surface equipped with aluminum foil underneath as an electrode. The voltage was measured at various slope angles of 20°, 40° and 60° in a real-time basis. A digital camera was used to capture the droplet movement and characterization. It is found that the taro leaf has a surface morphology of nano-sized pointed pillars which created a superhydrophobic field. The energy generation was primarily obtained from the electron jump which was caused by the surface tension of the nano-stalagmite structure assisted by the minerals contained in the taro leaf surface. The results reported that the smaller the droplet radius (the smaller the droplet surface area), the greater the droplet surface tension and the greater the voltage generation. Furthermore, the highest voltage generation was obtained 321.2 mV at 20°-degree angle of slopes.

Published: November 2023

The design of the fracturing fluid is a very important aspect of the success of hydraulic fracturing. The most common fracturing fluid used in hydraulic fracturing is the cross-linked guar gum fracturing fluid. To determine the optimal fracturing fluid concentration, it is necessary to analyze the fracturing fluid optimization to obtain the best fracturing results in terms of fracturing fluid rheology, regain permeability, hydraulics, cost, fracture geometry, and FOI. From this analysis, it is expected to obtain the most optimal fracturing fluid to be applied to the JARWO Well. This research was conducted by conducting a sensitivity test method for selecting the concentration of the fracturing fluid system that affects the fracture fluid rheology, regain permeability, fracturing fluid hydraulics during injection, total material cost, fracture geometry, and the resulting FOI. The sensitivity of the fracturing fluid concentration that was tested was the system concentration of 35 pptg, 40 pptg, and 45 pptg. Each fracturing fluid is tested in the laboratory to obtain rheology which will then be simulated using MFrac software to obtain the fracture geometry formed. The results of the analysis of the concentration of each fracturing fluid showed that the fracturing fluid with a system concentration of 40 pptg was the most stable in viscosity at pumping time to produce the highest FOI. The hydraulic fracturing fluid with a concentration of 40 pptg is better than that of a concentration of 45 pptg. From the performance of regaining permeability and residue, it is quite good when compared to fracturing fluid with concentration of 45 pptg, and the cost is lower when compared to a fracturing fluid with concentration of 45 pptg. So that the fracturing fluid with a system concentration of 40 pptg is the most optimal fluid for use in hydraulic fracturing activities at the JARWO Well.

Published: November 2023

Рост мирового населения, спроса на продукты и корма с высоким содержанием белка и стремление мирового научного сообщества улучшить экологическую ситуацию в мире приводят к поиску альтернативных источников протеина, одним из которых являются насекомые. Насекомые являются потенциальным источником необходимых человеку и животным питательных веществ, они богаты белком, жирными кислотами, минералами и витаминами. Такие преимущества, как высокая питательная ценность, возможность выращивания на вторичном сырье и низкие ресурсные затраты на производство, делают насекомых привлекательными как для производителей кормов, так и для потенциальных потребителей. Некоторые насекомые, например муха чёрная львинка (Hermetia illucens), большой мучной хрущак (Tenebrio molitor) и отдельные виды сверчков, уже используются компаниями при производстве кормов для домашних животных, однако по этой теме опубликовано не так много исследований. Кроме того, существенная часть потребителей не готова добавлять в рацион своих домашних животных корм, в состав которого входят насекомые. Цель текущей работы — исследовать перспективы производства в РФ кормов для собак и кошек с добавлением насекомых. В задачи работы входило: проанализировать рынок кормов с добавлением насекомых для домашних животных, научную литературу по их использованию при производстве кормов для собак и кошек, а также представить данные по проведённому исследованию отношения граждан РФ к использованию насекомых в составе кормов для домашних животных. Результаты опроса показали, что дальнейшие исследования по безопасности использования насекомых в кормах для домашних животных будут способствовать их большему принятию со стороны потенциальных потребителей.

The increase in global human population, growing demand for high-protein products and feed as well as the trend for ecologically friendly production make scientific community search for alternative protein sources one of which is insects. The insects are a potential source of nutrients essential for humans and animals. They are rich in protein, fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins. High nutritional value, ability to feed on byproducts and low production costs make insects attractive to both feed producers and potential consumers. Such insects as black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens), mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) and some cricket species are already used for the production of feeds for pets but very little research has been published yet. Besides, most consumers are not ready to use insect-based food in the diet of their pets. The aim of this research was to analyze the possibility for the production of insect-based food for dogs and cats in the Russian Federation. This investigation included market analysis, literature review, and the survey on the consumer acceptance of insect-based food for pets. The survey results indicated that further studies on the safety of insects in pet food would lead to greater acceptance among potential consumers.

Published: November 2023

The performance, biodegradability, and recyclability of polymers can be tuned during synthesis by adopting monomers with different chemical characteristics. Recent research has shown the aptness of some hydrolases to depolymerize polyesters under mild conditions compared to chemical approaches. Herein, we engineered a cutinase from Thermobifida cellulosilytica (Tc_Cut2NVWCCG) for improved thermostability (up to 91 °C) and compared it with previously reported leaf-branch compost cutinase (LCCWCCG) for the hydrolysis of oligomers, aliphatic and aromatic polyester homopolymers, and a co-polyester. For both enzymes, higher hydrolysis rates were observed for aliphatic compared to aromatic homopolyesters. SEC-MS analysis revealed that the hydrolysis of aliphatic/aromatic co-polyesters occurred at the aliphatic monomers, significantly reducing the molecular weight and changing the end-group composition. These results underline the importance of co-polymer composition in the biodegradation of co-polymer systems and highlight the potential use of enzymes for the analytical characterization of synthetic polymers by selectively reducing their molecular weight.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of set structures in designing bodyweight power training (BWPT). Specifically, we compared the effects of Cluster set structure undulating variant (CSSUV) and Traditional set structure (TSS) on training load and performance during vertical jumping sessions. Sixteen active males participated in this study. We designed four training sessions that consisted of 144 countermovement jumps distributed into 12 sets, where number of repetitions varied for CSSUV sessions’, and for TSS sessions’ was fixed. In addition, both of the applied set structures included sessions with short (i.e., 60 seconds) and long rest periods (i.e., 120 seconds), while training volume was separately analysed for the first six sets (i.e., small volume) and last six sets (i.e., large volume). We calculated external load, internal load and performance variables. The obtained results suggest that CSSUV allows superior utilization of applied external load, reduction of internal load and overall higher performances that are maintained during entire training session compared to TSS. The present study provides important findings about advantages of CSSUV over TSS in terms of external load, internal load and performances during vertical jumping sessions, and therefore, it might be more suitable approach for designing BWPT.

Published: November 2023

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of parents or caregivers of children suffering from migraines at a tertiary care center in North India.Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study involving 100 parents or caregivers, using convenience sampling. A 20-item questionnaire was administered in English and also translated into the local language (Hindi). The study included children with migraines who visited the pediatric outpatient department within a 6-month period (December 2022 to May 2023).Results: Over 60% of caregivers were aware of the chronic nature of the illness, its triggering factors, the role of family history, and the importance of lifestyle modifications. However, only 46% understood the pathophysiology of the illness, and 53% were aware of the medication used for childhood migraines. More than 85% of caregivers believed that recurrent headaches necessitate a doctor’s consultation, may require regular visits for optimal treatment, and were willing to alter their child’s lifestyle to prevent headaches. However, a significant percentage of caregivers (47%) practised self-medication for their children’s headaches. Most caregivers believed that lifestyle modifications and avoiding triggers were the best treatments for migraines. There were significant associations (P<0.05) between the level of education and responses to questions related to migraine definition, prophylaxis, treatment, investigations, lifestyle modifications, and screen time.Conclusion: Most participants were well-educated on migraine, and their KAP regarding migraine prevention and treatment were generally adequate. However, the practice of self-medication without professional guidance is a significant concern.

Lendang Nangka Utara Village is located in the Masbagik Subdistrict, covering an area of 900 hectares. This village is renowned for its abundant natural resources, particularly pineapples. However, an issue observed in this village is the underutilization of these available natural resources. Pineapples, which are an iconic produce of Lendang Nangka Utara Village, should be processed into various products such as pineapple chips, pineapple jam, pineapple candy, pineapple pies, and more. Nonetheless, a majority of the residents in Lendang Nangka Utara Village who have pineapple farms merely sell the fruit without engaging in the production process to create value-added products. The Community Empowerment Real Work Lecture (Kuliah Kerja Nyata) aims to harness the existing resources in Lendang Nangka Utara Village to develop creative and innovative processed products. The chosen sample product for utilizing the available pineapple resources is pineapple pie. The program involves both socialization and training sessions for pineapple pie making. The socialization efforts aim to instill an entrepreneurial spirit within the community of Lendang Nangka Utara Village. Additionally, the pineapple pie training is designed to provide insights to the local community on how pineapples can be transformed into a product with higher market value compared to selling them solely as fresh fruits.
