Authors: Tiku Oscar , Shimizu Tetsuo
Published: August 2020

This study deals with the contribution of visitor expenditure on West Papua’s regional economy. It accomplishes three objectives: (1) to estimate the economic contribution of domestic and inbound visitor expenditure; (2) to measure the economic contribution of tourist spending at various accommodation classes; and (3) to describe the use of local commodities and labor in the regional accommodation industry. To accomplish the first and second objectives, an input-output multiplier analysis was employed. As for the third objective, interviews were conducted with 35 representatives from regional accommodation establishments. Tourism is found to contribute greatly to the regional economy, as shown from the higher overall output multiplier for tourist expenditure as compared to the regional output multiplier. The output multiplier for inbound tourist expenditure is higher than the domestic tourist. Three-star accommodations are found to be the biggest contributor with outstanding inter-sectoral impact on fisheries; food, beverage, and tobacco manufacture; and agriculture. The qualitative analysis suggests the existence of a large leakage (±90%), mainly in produce and chemicals used in daily operations. Fisheries and wood furniture are the exception. Overall, the accommodation sector absorbs a considerable extent of local labor (73%), 23% of which are Indigenous Papuans.

Adequate Digital Competence
Authors: Godhe Anna-Lena , Magnusson Petra , Sofkova Hashemi Sylvana
Published: August 2020

This paper explores how digital competence is conceptualized in recent revisions in the curriculum for Swedish compulsory school. Four themes are identified based on a thematic content analysis of the revisions in the subject descriptions: use of digital tools and media, programming, critical awareness and responsibility. The distribution of the thematic revisions differs among the subjects, but the most dominating theme, permeating all the subjects, concerns the tool-oriented use of digital tools and media. This strong dominance of operational perspective tends to narrow the conceptualization compared to international definitions and frameworks of digital competence.

Study of Handwritten Albums in the National Science in the 19th — Early 21st Century
Authors: Petrova Aleksandra V.
Published: August 2020

The article considers bibliography of study of Russian albums of the 19th — early 21th century. Development of Russian historiography of this topic was uneven. The author consistently describes three main stages in the study of handwritten album: response of contemporaries and public discussions of this phenomenon; the beginning of publication of album texts; introduction of albums to science. The article presents the main directions of academic research. The author considers domestic publications about Russian albums, starting from the first quarter of the 19th century through the beginning of the 21st century. The analysis of the literature on albums was carried out from the point of view of the author’s area of interests (study of the history of autograph albums, their typology and functions), the nature and scope of the objects studied, the main tasks of these works and their methodological principles. The main problem in historiography is development of typology of handwritten albums. The choice of typology as the main subject of analysis is explained by the fact that in general this phenomenon of Russian culture of the late 18th — first quarter of the 20th century was not studied systematically. The author notes that in order to create the full picture of Russian album culture, it is necessary, first of all, to build the typological system. The result of the author’s research is the complete review of publications on Russian handwritten albums published from 1820 to 2016. The author highlights the main typological principles of albums that are typical for different approaches, research schools and directions of study. The article notes that many issues have not been considered until the present moment. The approach to album as a source of history of individual writing and sociocultural behaviour is beyond the study, while the comprehensive analysis of Russian album, writing and signature in it is one of the promising directions of research of the culture of everyday life of the 18th — 20th centuries. The general conclusion of the article focuses on the absence of universal typology in historiography, which the author suggests to present in the following works.
S.I. Vavilov — Reader of Soviet Literature
Authors: Samarin Alexander Y.
Published: August 2020

The article analyzes the diary records of the outstanding Soviet physicist, Academician and President of the USSR Academy of Sciences Sergei Ivanovich Vavilov (1891—1951), dedicated to his reader’s perception of contemporary Soviet literature. Widely-read S.I. Vavilov collected his private library of 37 thousand volumes; he regularly visited bookstores, mainly antiquarian and second-hand bookshops. Despite the prevailing interest to the old books, S.I. Vavilov knew Soviet literature, used its images in his popular science works (S.A. Yesenin) and diary characteristics (I. Ilf and E. Petrov). The few diary entries with the assessments of the works of Soviet writers (A.N. Tolstoy, A.E. Korneychuk, K.I. Chukovsky, A. Bely, A.K. Vinogradov, V.V. Veresaev, M.A. Bulgakov, etc.) most commonly demonstrate critical attitude to them. It was defined by both his classical aesthetic preferences, formed in his youth on the material of Russian literature of the 19th century, and by his unflattering attitude to the Soviet reality, which Academician did not show publicly, allowing just certain statements in his private diaries. The generally negative perception of Soviet literature indicates that, contrary to the claims of some researchers, S.I. Vavilov was not a Stalinist and was quite sceptical of the socialist reality.

Tuning the Thermal Stability and Photoisomerization of Azoheteroarenes through Macrocycle Strain
Authors: Vela Sergi , Scheidegger Alan , Fabregat Raimon , Corminboeuf Clemence
Published: August 2020

Azobenzene and its derivatives are one of the most-widespread molecular scaffolds in a range of modern applications, as well as in fundamental research. After photoexcitation, azo-based photoswitches revert back to the most stable isomer in a timescale (t1/2) that determines the range of potential applications. Attempts to bring t1/2 to extreme values prompted to the development of azobenzene and azoheteroarene derivatives that either rebalance the E- and Z- isomer stabilities, or exploit unconventional thermal isomerization mechanisms. In the former case, one successful strategy has been the creation of macrocycle strain, which tends to impact the E/Z stability asymmetrically, and thus significantly modifies t1/2. On the bright side, bridged derivatives have shown an improved optical switching owing to the higher quantum yields and absence of degradation. However, in most (if not all) cases, bridged derivatives display a reversed thermal stability (more stable Z-isomer), and smaller t1/2 than the acyclic counterparts, which restricts their potential interest to applications requiring a fast forward and backwards switch. In this paper, we investigate the impact of alkyl bridges to the thermal stability of phenyl-azoheteroarenes using computational methods, and we reveal that is indeed possible to combine such improved photo-switching characteristics while preserving the regular thermal stability (more stable E-isomer), and increased t1/2 values under the appropriate connectivity and bridge length.
Targeting Allosteric Pockets of SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease Mpro
Authors: Bhat Zahoor Ahmad , Chitara Dheeraj , Iqbal1 Jawed , B.S. Sanjeev. , Madhumalar Arumugam
Published: August 2020

Repurposing of antivirals is an attractive therapeutic option for the treatment of COVID-19. Mpro (also called 3CLpro) is a key protease of SARS-CoV-2 involved in viral replication, and is a promising drug target for testing the existing antivirals. A major challenge to test the efficacy of antivirals is the conformational plasticity of Mpro and its future mutation prone flexibility. To address this, we hereby propose combination therapy by drugging two specific additional pockets of Mpro probed in our studies. Long scale Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations provide evidence of these additional sites being allosteric. Suitable choice of drugs in catalytic and allosteric pockets appear to be essential for combination therapy. Current study, based on docking and extensive set of MD simulations, finds the combination of Elbasvir, Glecaprevir, Ritonavir to be a viable candidate for further experimental drug testing/pharmacophore design for Mpro.
Multiweek Experiments for an Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory Course: Synthesis of Nickel Complexes Supported by a Tetradentate Ligand with an N2O2 Donor Set
Authors: Collett Joel , Krause Jeanette , Guan Hairong
Published: August 2020

Inorganic Chemistry teaches students the concept that modifications to ligand structures, especially the donor properties, can have a drastic impact on the reactivity and stability of the metal complexes. Experiments described here reinforce this concept through the investigation of two tetradentate ligands derived from o-phenylenediamine and salicylaldehyde. The Schiff base ligand, H2salophen, reacts with Ni(OAc)2•4H2O to yield a maroon colored, square planar complex, Ni(salophen). Under the same conditions, the amine-type ligand, H2salophan, forms a light-blue compound with a formula Ni(salophan)(HOAc). Complex Ni(salophan) free of acetate may be produced from the reaction of H2salophan with Ni(OAc)2•4H2O in the presence of NaOH, but undergoes ligand dehydrogenation to yield Ni(salophen). Students conducting these experiments have the opportunity to learn synthetic techniques and various characterization methods. Most importantly, the inquiry-guided experimental design helps them develop critical thinking skills and apply acquired knowledge to solving a research problem in a laboratory course.
A Click-Flipped Enzyme Substrate Boosts the Performance of the Diagnostic Screening for Hunter Syndrome

Published: August 2020

We report on the unexpected finding that click modification of iduronyl azides results in a conformational flip of the pyranose ring, which led to the development of a new strategy for the design of superior enzyme substrates for the diagnostic assaying of iduronate-2-sulfatase (I2S), a lysosomal enzyme related to Hunter syndrome. Synthetic substrates are essential in testing newborns for metabolic disorders to enable early initiation of therapy. Our click-flipped iduronyl triazole showed a remarkably better performance with I2S than commonly used O-iduronates. We found that both O- and triazole-linked substrates are accepted by the enzyme, irrespective of their different conformations, but only the O-linked product inhibits the activity of I2S. Thus, in the long reaction times required for clinical assays, the triazole substrate substantially outperforms the O-iduronate. Applying our click-flipped substrate to assay I2S in dried blood spots sampled from affected patients and random newborns significantly increased the confidence in discriminating between these groups, clearly indicating the potential of the click-flip strategy to control the biomolecular function of carbohydrates.

In the context of fulfillment of maq¯as. id al-Shar¯ı‘ah, Islamic banks’ performance has been measured by some researchers by adding many dimensions and elements to the five objectives of Shar¯ı‘ah, and resultantly many indices have been developed. However, these dimensions and elements are either not comprehensive, or not relevant. The objective of the present study is to provide an improved maq¯as. id al-Shar¯ı‘ah oriented performance index that includes all the five objectives of Ghazali’s theory of maq¯as. id al-Shar¯ı‘ah, namely protection of faith, life, intellect, family and wealth. Additionally, the present study proposed more reflective measures to assess maq¯as. id oriented performance including share of financing based on non-controversial modes and percentage of value added that is distributed to various stakeholders. The study applied Sekaran’s behavior science method and applied social accounting concept of value added statement and service profit chain as a logic to develop maq¯as. id index which is later on validated through experts’ interviews. In addition, the study has also applied the proposed index using eight years data (2010-2017) from full-fledged Islamic banks of Pakistan to assess their maq¯as. id oriented performance. The findings reveal that only protection of intellect oriented performance of Islamic banks is improving whereas other maq¯as. id oriented performances are deteriorating.

Governance mechanisms of religion-adhering firms offer a great debate topic in contemporary business and finance research. Though at nascent stages, yet there exists a growing body of knowledge regarding Islamic corporate finance. With an emphasis on this body of knowledge, the current study aims at examining the relationship between gender diversity in corporate sector boards on corporate choices of Shar¯ı‘ah compliant firms. Specifically, this study examines whether gender diverse boards of Shar¯ı‘ah compliant firms have any influence towards business diversification, dividend pay-out, and firm’s financial performance or not? Study used data from Karachi-Meezan Index (KMI-30) of Shar¯ı‘ahcompliant firms and employed panel data analysis technique. Results of the study show that gender diversity does matter for Shar¯ı‘ah compliant firms too. Representation of women on boards of Shar¯ı‘ah compliant firms results in more business diversification, dividend pay-out and better financial performance. The results are robust and carry crucial implications for policy makers of the Shar¯ı‘ah compliant firms, regulators and the government. Results of the study suggest that efforts should be deliberated to enhance women’s inclusion in boards of Shar¯ı‘ah compliant firms. Our results must be interpreted with caution as they only relate to a specific type of stocks i.e. Islamic stocks and specific country i.e. an Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

The aim of this paper is to examine the relationship between dark triad personality and supervisor expediency. The researchers further investigated if Islamic Work Ethics (IWE) moderates the positive association between dark triad and supervisor expediency; such that the relationship is weaker when IWE is high. Theoretical framework developed in present study is based on two theories i.e., trait theory and theory of planned behavior. The two set data was collected from employees working in health sector of Pakistan. Set one questionnaires were filled by employees on supervisory positions, they rated their own personality traits and belief in Islamic work ethics. Set two questionnaires were filled by the immediate subordinates of supervisors who filled set one. They were asked to rate supervisor’s expediency. Data was collected from 241 supervisors and 241 respective subordinates. Code was assigned to keep the track of supervisors and their respective subordinates. Confidentiality was ensured to avoid any bias. The research result revealed that Machiavellianism, narcissism and psychopathy positively and significantly impacts supervisor expediency. IWE moderates the positive association between Machiavellianism, narcissism and supervisor expediency. However, the moderation result was found insignificant in the case of Psychopathy and supervisor expediency. Empirical evidences confirmed that dark triad of personality leads to supervisor expediency. The theoretical model tested in the study provides insight and empirical evidences in literature. Implications for the managers and future research directions are also discussed.

Registered Nurses' Knowledge of Pneumonia Prevention Implementing Incentive Spirometry in Adult Hospitalized Postoperative Patients: A Quality Improvements
Authors: Gaffney Melissa
Published: August 2020

In 2011, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2018) estimated there were 157,500 cases of hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP). Of those, ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) had declined with increased efforts aimed at prevention, while nonventilator pneumonia (NV-HAP) did not have such prevention interventions and escalated, with approximately 2300 cases and 5600 respectively reported in one state (Baker&Quinn, 2018). The 2012 Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project National Inpatient Sample reported only 4 million people were at risk for VAP, while approximately 35 million more people were at risk for NV-HAP in the United States. The purpose of this project was to evaluate surgical unit registered nurses’ knowledge related to incentive spirometer (IS) in the prevention of NV-HAP postoperatively. The design of this quality improvement, program development project included a pretest, an evidence-based educational intervention specific to IS and a posttest administered to a small sample of RNs, guided by the Logic Model Framework. The results indicated that RNs’ perspectives on patients’ use of IS can be influenced following an educational session related to IS; however, the results showed a decrease in agreement reflecting the new knowledge of the nurses of the present evidence as it relates to incentive spirometry. These results also supported previous research findings and contribute to a body of knowledge validating nurses’ need for endorsed guidelines on appropriate usage of IS to prevent postoperative pneumonia. The Advanced Practice Nurse has a unique role that can directly impact the prevention of postoperative pneumonia.
Diabetes Knowledge of Critical Care Nurses: A Quality Improvement Project
Authors: Huley Sarah
Published: August 2020

Diabetes mellitus continues to become more prevalent in the United States, with approximately 1.5 million new cases diagnosed each year (ADA, 2018). Nurses play a key role in providing education to diabetic patients on the management of this disease. This encompasses a multitude of topics such as diabetic medications, treatments, and lifestyle choices that ultimately may aid in decreased morbidity and mortality otherwise associated with the disease and its co-morbidities. However, nurses’ own perceived diabetes knowledge has been found to be overestimated when compared to actual nursing knowledge (Alotaibi, Ghlizadeh, Al-Ganmi&Perry, 2017; Wakefield&Wilson, 2014). Research also illustrates that the actual knowledge of diabetes care is suboptimal, and educational programs specifically tailored to diabetes management knowledge result in an improvement from pre-test scores with subsequent retention of the materials presented (Moattari, Moosavinasab, Dabaghmanesh,&SarifSanaiey, 2014; Sweeney, Kenny and Schubert, 2013). The following literature review appraises current practice in diabetes management and evaluates literature regarding actual knowledge of nurses caring for inpatient diabetics. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to determine whether the implementation of a diabetic education program improves nurses’ knowledge in the medical management, treatment, and care of the adult critical care patient with hyperglycemia. Results demonstrated variability in baseline knowledge and overall significant improvement in scores which validated the need for this program and may indicate a need to focus future educational programs on the care of the patient with diabetes.
