Leading Changes: Why Transformation Explanation Fails
Authors: Awashreh Raed
Published: April 2021

This critique is for the article entitled of “Leading changes: why transformation explanation fails” written by Dr. Mark Hughes, who constructs it to illustrate why identification of leadership errors in Kotter’s model fails to explain the failure in transformation efforts. Kotter’s model of change has developed from a business perspective, for this, the power is concentrated in the top management hands, so it forces people to follow the change or leave the organization. Unlike Kotter, Hughes was able to recognize the changeable world when he looks for organization and leadership changes. Also, Hughes concludes that the Kotter’s model does not encourage change rather calls for improvement and has suggested evaluating of his eight-step model especially he does not share his work methods. On the relationship side, Kotter was able to understand the map of relationships inside organizations and how to use it. Change is about influence and both leadership and change is about relationships. Hughes focuses on the reasons behind the change “why” and the goal of change “target”, while Kotter emphasizes on how the top management should carry the change. Hughes is more a scientist, but Kotter is more practical.

ntroduction: ‘Perla’ and ‘Mexicano’ are varieties of tuberose grown in Mexico that have potential for commercialization and export; however, no preservative solutions have been evaluated to increase their shelf life. Objective: To determine physical, physiological, and chemical changes that occur in postharvest tuberose when different preservative solutions are applied. Methodology: Tuberose flower spikes of varieties ‘Mexicano’ and Perla, with two open basal flowers, were placed in preservative solutions (Crystal®, sucrose [Sac] + citric acid [CA] + hydroxyquinoline citrate [HQC] and ascorbic acid [AAsc]). A group of tuberose flower spikes was kept as control, and in all cases destructive and non-destructive variables were evaluated during postharvest. Results: Relative fresh weight and water consumption increased with preservative solutions in both varieties. The appearance of the ‘Perla’ variety was excellent for 5 days with Crystal®. The ‘Mexicano’ variety had more open flowers with Crystal® and Sac + AC + HQC, while the ‘Perla’ variety had the same result with AAsc and Crystal®. Respiration in the Mexicano’ variety was high with Sac + AC + HQC, and in the case of ‘Perla’ variety, respiration was low with AAsc. The highest specific superoxide dismutase activity was detected with AAsc and Crystal® for ‘Perla’ variety. Study limitations: The results are valid without previous applications of pulse or hydrating solutions in tuberose varieties evaluated. Originality: This is the first study where the postharvest behavior of two Mexican tuberose varieties is evaluated in preservative solutions. Conclusions: ‘Mexicano’ and ‘Perla’ varieties can use Crystal® and AAsc solutions to maintain the quality for longer time in vase.
Study to Assess Physical Health Status of Children at Selected Orphanage in Salem, Chennai India
Authors: Shukla Bhuvanesh , Shukla Dushyant
Published: April 2021

Orphanages are a vulnerable group in any socio-economic setting simply because they are deprived of one or both of their primary care givers. The level of vulnerability they face however increases significantly with the level of poverty. In India below 18â€™s population is 42,06,78,000 among them 2,57,00,000 are orphan children. That constitute a major part of the below 18â€™s population (UNICEF, 2005). Orphans are a group of underprivileged population in society. The evidence from the pediatric and child psychiatry literature makes clear that orphanages are neither an effective nor a humane mode of assistance to infants and families. Orphans are some of the most underprivileged children in the world. With few exceptions, children without parents are deprived of many of the basic rights such as food, shelter, education, and a family environment. Orphanage children are deprived of their primary care givers thus more prone to physical health problems.

Intelligent Routing can influence the overall performance of a communication networkâ€™s throughput and efficiency. Routing strategies is required to adapt to changing network loads and different topologies. Learning from the network environment, in order to optimally adapt the network settings, is an essential requirement for providing efficient communication services in such environments. Cognitive networks are capable of learning and reasoning. They can energetically adapt to varying network conditions in order to optimize end-to-end performance and utilize network resources. In this paper we will focus machine learning in routing scheme that includes routing awareness, a routing reconfiguration.
Evaluation of Relation between Rainfall and El Nino Phenomena in Iran
Authors: Gholizadeh Mohammad Hossein
Published: April 2021

In this study El Nino effects on rainfall in Iran is evaluated. Annual rainfall data of the selected rain gauging stations for the years when El Nino phenomenon has taken place (1973-2012), have been picked up. Next, annual rainfall of the years with and without El Nino phenomenon were compared and then analyzed (correlation is significant at the 0.01 level). Finally, percentage-frequency of the rainfalls influenced by warm Enso condition was obtained. Regarding that El Nino has different affect on rainfall under different regions of the world, the results approved that El Nino, increases rainfall across Iran plateau as annual rainfall is increased from south to north. While less increasing of rainfall is seen for coastal area. Results showed that El Nino causes increasing of annual rainfall in Iran.
Szociológiai paradigmák és a biográfiakutatás
Authors: Bögre Zsuzsanna
Published: April 2021

Napjainkban több tudományos paradigma él egymás mellett és egymással vetélkedve a társadalomtudományokban, így a szociológiában is. Minden paradigma önálló ontológiával, episztemológiával és módszertani tudatossággal rendelkezik, amelyek jól elkülönülnek egymástól. Az egymás mellett létezés következtében azonban a különbségeken kívül egymáshoz való közeledés is érzékelhető. A kvalitatív szociológián belül a biográfiakutatásokban egyfajta kompromisszumkészség mutatkozik a nézőpontok között. A tanulmány első lépésként az „alapvető” paradigmák (pozitivizmus, posztpozitivizmus, kritikai elméletek, konstruktivizmus) rövid bemutatására vállalkozik, majd azok hatását vizsgálja a biográfiakutatásokra. Ezt követően a biográfiakutatók körében lezajlott paradigmavitát mutatja be, leírva, hogy bár „látszólag” nem közeledtek egymáshoz az álláspontok, mégis megfogalmazódott a különböző paradigmák közötti minimális konszenzus.

Published: April 2021

The present study focuses on societal factors influencing the breast cancer incidence and deaths due breast cancer. The delayed detection and late presentation of tumour is influenced by the knowledge and understanding of disease by women herself, family and people in her surroundings. The sociocultural behaviour is key component of delayed detection of breast cancer and delayed presentation which leads to higher rates of morbidity and mortality. Though Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among females all around the world including Malaysia. Breast cancer accounts for 2.4% of deaths among women among Malaysia every year. The study was a quantitative questionnaire-based survey. The study includes female postgraduate students 25-30 years of age studying at University Sains Malaysia. The questionnaire was divided into five sections and total of 19 questions. A total of 50 women, between 30-39 years of age were interviewed. This study set out to explore the health promotion concepts and factors that impede health promotion as well as the barriers were also explored which might hinder women to go through mammogram. The results obtained in the study validated and confirmed the literature.
Transgender Community in Pakistan: From Marginalized “aliens/others” to Empowered “Citizens”?
Authors: Khan Saad Ali
Published: April 2021

Almost a decade ago in 2009, a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of Pakistan set the trajectory for transgender community’s future. This was considered as the first step that ignited a new spirit among the transgender community in Pakistan; and they started actively pursuing the struggle for their fundamental rights. Transgender community in Pakistan has been marginalized since the inception of Pakistan. In Pakistan, transgender individuals have been pushed to the margins/peripheries of the society facing extreme levels of discrimination, rejection, stigmatization, violence and “otherness”. For years, both state and society have considered these individuals and their communities as “others”, “abnormal” or “threat to the structure of the society”. Faced with these conditions, the transgender community also passively withdrew from the mainstream and accepted this as their fate. This article is aimed to explore and analyze the transition in the status and condition of transgender community in the last decade (2009-2019). It is also aimed to highlight the role of transgender community and other actors in bringing about the change in their status. Reviewing the last decade of activism led by the transgender community and other actors; it is demonstrated in this article that the transgender community has gained momentous/historic achievements (especially legal) since then. From extreme marginalization and stigmatization: they have started to earn respected status in the society. While in the past they were considered as “outcastes” and “others” by the society and state alike, now, they are mostly considered as an integral part of the society especially by the state.
Detection of the melting level with polarimetric weather radar
Authors: Sanchez-Rivas Daniel , Rico-Ramirez Miguel A.
Published: April 2021

Abstract. Accurate estimation of the melting level (ML) is essential in radar rainfall estimation to mitigate the bright band enhancement, classify hydrometeors, correct for rain attenuation and calibrate radar measurements. This paper presents a novel and robust ML-detection algorithm based on either vertical profiles (VPs) or quasi-vertical profiles (QVPs) built from operational polarimetric weather radar scans. The algorithm depends only on data collected by the radar itself, and it is based on the combination of several polarimetric radar measurements to generate an enhanced profile with strong gradients related to the melting layer. The algorithm is applied to 1 year of rainfall events that occurred over southeast England, and the results were validated using radiosonde data. After evaluating all possible combinations of polarimetric radar measurements, the algorithm achieves the best ML detection when combining VPs of ZH, ρHV and the gradient of the velocity (gradV), whereas, for QVPs, combining profiles of ZH, ρHV and ZDR produces the best results, regardless of the type of rain event. The root mean square error in the ML detection compared to radiosonde data is ∼200 m when using VPs and ∼250 m when using QVPs.
OH point defects in quartz – a review
Authors: Stalder Roland
Published: April 2021

Abstract. Research results of the past 6 decades on the incorporation of OH point defects in quartz are summarised and evaluated in terms of their application to natural samples and processes, and a link between experimental petrology, natural archives, and model calculations is made. A strong focus is put on recent studies on quartz as a rock-forming mineral, as a geochemical and/or petrological tracer, and as a tool for provenance analysis in sediments and sedimentary rocks. The most relevant defects for natural specimens are generated by coupled substitution involving mono- and trivalent cations, the most prominent being Li+, Al3+, and B3+. OH incorporation is rather a function of the availability of trace metals and water than of pressure and temperature, though temperature indirectly influences the incorporation by the solubility of trace metals in the fluid. Pressure has a negative influence on the formation of OH defects, so the most pure quartzes are probably formed in the deep crust close to the quartz/coesite transition. Natural quartz grains from the Earth's crust have on average 10 wt ppm (weight parts per million) water (5 wt ppm median), but grains with OH defect contents corresponding to up 250 wt ppm water have been discovered in sedimentary archives, matching the concentration of quartz from high-pressure experiments <4 kbar under water-saturated conditions in granitic systems. A rough division into three classes is suggested: (1) grains with pristine igneous and/or hydrothermal origin, (2) mildly thermally annealed grains, and (3) strongly dehydrated grains. While samples derived from the currently exposed Scandinavian Shield are dominated by the third class, considerable contributions of the first two classes are found in the younger rock systems in Central Europe. OH defect contents may be used to estimate mixing ratios for sediments with different sources, provided that a sufficiently large data set exists and that the different sources can be clearly distinguished by their OH inventory. Furthermore, metamorphic overprint leads to a higher degree of equilibration of OH defects between individual grains and may thus be used as a geothermometer. Finally, OH defect retention in quartz allows for estimating timescales of volcanic processes.

Abstract. From 2008 through 2019, a comprehensive research project, SFB 754, Climate – Biogeochemistry Interactions in the Tropical Ocean, was funded by the German Research Foundation to investigate the climate-biogeochemistry interactions in the tropical ocean with a particular emphasis on the processes determining the oxygen distribution. During three 4-year long funding phases, a consortium of more than 150 scientists conducted or participated in 34 major research cruises and collected a wealth of physical, biological, chemical, and meteorological data. A common data policy agreed upon at the initiation of the project provided the basis for the open publication of all data. Here we provide an inventory of this unique data set and briefly summarize the various data acquisition and processing methods used.
Characterization of Hillslope Hydrologic Events through a Self-Organizing Map
Authors: Lee Eunhyung , Kim Sanghyun
Published: April 2021

Abstract. Hydrologic events can be characterized as particular combinations of hydrological processes on a hillslope scale. To configure hydrological mechanisms, we analyzed a dataset using an unsupervised machine learning algorithm to cluster the hydrologic events based on the dissimilarity distances between the weighting components of a self-organizing map (SOM). The time series of soil moisture was measured at 30 points (in 10 locations with 3 varying depths) for 356 rainfall events on a steep, forested hillslope between 2007 and 2016. Soil moisture features for hydrologic events can be effectively represented by the antecedent soil moisture, maximum variation, and standard deviation of peak-to-peak time between rainfall and soil moisture response. Five clusters were delineated for hydrologically meaningful event classification in the SOM representation. The two-dimensional spatial weighting patterns in the SOM provided greater insight on relationships between rainfall characteristics, antecedent wetness, and soil moisture response at different locations and depths. The distinction of the classified events can be explained by several rainfall features and antecedent soil moisture conditions that resulted in different patterns made by combinations of hillslope hydrological processes, vertical flow, and lateral flow along either surface or subsurface boundaries for the upslope and downslope areas.
Four-dimensional NOE-NOE spectroscopy of SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease to facilitate resonance assignment and structural analysis
Authors: Robertson Angus J. , Ying Jinfa , Bax Ad
Published: April 2021

Abstract. Resonance assignment and structural studies of larger
proteins by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) can be challenging when exchange broadening, multiple stable conformations, and 1H back-exchange of the fully deuterated chain pose problems. These difficulties arise for the SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease, a homodimer of 2 × 306 residues. We demonstrate that the combination
of four-dimensional (4D) TROSY-NOESY-TROSY spectroscopy and 4D
NOESY-NOESY-TROSY spectroscopy provides an effective tool for delineating
the 1H–1H dipolar relaxation network. In combination with detailed structural information obtained from prior X-ray crystallography work, such
data are particularly useful for extending and validating resonance
assignments as well as for probing structural features.
Characteristics and robustness of Agulhas leakage estimates: an inter-comparison study of Lagrangian methods
Authors: Schmidt Christina , Schwarzkopf Franziska U. , Rühs Siren , Biastoch Arne
Published: April 2021

Abstract. The inflow of relatively warm and salty water from the Indian Ocean into the South Atlantic via Agulhas leakage is important for the global overturning circulation and the global climate. In this study, we analyse the robustness of Agulhas leakage estimates as well as the thermohaline property modifications of Agulhas leakage south of Africa. Lagrangian experiments with both the newly developed tool Parcels and the well established tool Ariane were performed to simulate Agulhas leakage in the eddy-rich ocean-sea ice model INALT20 (1/20° horizontal resolution) forced by the JRA55-do atmospheric boundary conditions. The average transport, its variability, trend and the transit time from the Agulhas Current to the Cape Basin of Agulhas leakage is simulated comparably with both Lagrangian tools, emphasising the robustness of our method. Different designs of the Lagrangian experiment alter in particular the total transport of Agulhas leakage by up to 2 Sv, but the variability and trend of the transport is similar across these estimates. During the transit from the Agulhas Current at 32° S to the Cape Basin, a cooling and freshening of Agulhas leakage waters occurs especially at the location of the Agulhas Retroflection, resulting in a density increase as the thermal effect dominates. Beyond the strong air-sea exchange around South Africa, Agulhas leakage warms and salinifies the water masses below the thermocline in the South Atlantic.
The role of ecosystem engineers in shaping the diversity and function of arid soil bacterial communities
Authors: Baubin Capucine , Farrell Arielle M. , Šťovíček Adam , Ghazaryan Lusine , Giladi Itamar , Gillor Osnat
Published: April 2021

Abstract. Ecosystem engineers (EEs) are present in every environment and are known to strongly influence ecological processes and thus shape the distribution of species and resources. In this study, we assessed the direct and indirect effect of two EEs (perennial shrubs and ant nests), individually and combined, on the composition and function of arid soil bacterial communities. To that end, topsoil samples were collected in the Negev Desert Highlands during the dry season from four patch types: (1) barren soil; (2) under shrubs; (3) near ant nests; or (4) near ant nests situated under shrubs. The bacterial community composition and potential functionality were evaluated in the soil samples (fourteen replicates per patch type) using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, together with physico-chemical measures of the soil. We have found that the EEs differently affected the community composition. Barren patches supported a soil microbiome, dominated by Rubrobacter and Proteobacteria, while in EE patches Deinococcus-Thermus dominated. The presence of the EEs similarly enhanced the abundance of phototrophic, nitrogen cycle and stress- related genes. In addition, the soil characteristics were altered only when both EEs were combined. Our results suggest that arid landscapes foster unique bacterial communities selected by patches created by each EE(s), solo or in combination. Although, the communities’ composition differs, they support similar potential functions that may have a role in surviving harsh arid conditions. The combined effect of the EEs on soil microbial communities is a good example of hard to predict non-additive features of arid ecosystems that, therefore, merit further research.
Impact of updated radiative transfer scheme in snow and ice in RACMO2.3p3 on the surface mass and energy budget of the Greenland ice sheet
Authors: van Dalum Christiaan T. , van de Berg Willem Jan , van den Broeke Michiel R.
Published: April 2021

Abstract. Radiative transfer in snow and ice is often not modeled explicitly in regional climate models. In this study, we evaluate a new englacial radiative transfer scheme and assess the surface mass and energy budget for the Greenland ice sheet in the latest version of the regional climate model RACMO2, version 2.3p3. We also evaluate the modeled (sub)surface temperature and melt, as radiation penetration now enables internal heating. The results are compared to the previous model version and are evaluated against stake measurements and automatic weather station data of the K-transect and PROMICE projects. In addition, subsurface snow temperature profiles are compared at the K-transect, Summit, and southeast Greenland. The surface mass balance is in good agreement with observations, with a mean bias of −31 mm w.e. yr−1 (−2.67 %), and only changes considerably with respect to the previous RACMO2 version around the ice margins and near the percolation zone. Melt and refreezing, on the other hand, are changed more substantially in various regions due to the changed albedo representation, subsurface energy absorption, and meltwater percolation. Internal heating leads to higher snow temperatures in summer, in agreement with observations, and introduces a shallow layer of subsurface melt. Hence, this study shows the consequences and necessity of radiative transfer in snow and ice for regional climate modeling of the Greenland ice sheet.
Logos y Hades. El horror como causa ambivalente del lenguaje humano”.
Authors: Osvaldo Prósperi Germán
Published: April 2021

En este artículo me propongo demostrar la tesis de que el hades es el logos. Para esto examinaré las nociones de psyche, eidolon y soma en la poesía homérica y el cambio semántico que sufren con Platón. Mostraré también, a partir de Hegel, que el logos implica la muerte de la cosa nombrada y un horror ante la desaparición del ser animado. Este horror encuentra su objeto específico en el cadáver. Por último, basándome en Blanchot explicaré que este miedo antropogénico genera dos efectos al interior del logos: la idea (el lenguaje corriente) y el espectro (el lenguaje literario).
Kryzys cywilizacji europejskiej wobec chrześcijaństwa w myśli Juana Donoso Cortésa
Authors: Kłos Jan
Published: April 2021

Rozważania nad myślą Juana Donoso Cortésa wydają się obecnie szczególnie aktualnym przedsięwzięciem badawczym pomimo dzielącego nas czasu. Nadzieje nowożytnego ego cogito związane z planem zbudowania uniwersalnej płaszczyzny zgody w warunkach zracjonalizowanego deizmu, w oderwaniu od indywidualnych odmienności, następnie wzmocnione oświeceniowym projektem autonomicznego podmiotu i jego umów społecznych zmiotła rewolucyjna pożoga. Socjologowie w słowach przywodzących na myśl lamenty Kasandry opisują dylematy współczesnego człowieka: labilność tożsamości, zamieranie wolnych stowarzyszeń, globalizacja świadomości, osłabienie ducha wspólnoty i solidaryzmu społecznego, wreszcie poprawność polityczna, która bodaj całkowicie zawiesza pytanie o zło i dobro moralne. Bez zbytniej przesady tedy możemy określić naszą sytuację jako symboliczny zakręt dziejowy, kiedy to na nowo stawiane są pytania o wartości, którymi żyła epoka przednowożytna, o państwo narodowe, siłę tradycji, które spajają i ożywiają ducha wspólnoty, o rolę chrześcijaństwa, wreszcie o pozycję Kościoła w państwie
Üniversitede Okuyan Z Kuşağının Değişen Aile Algısı ve Aile İçi İlişkilerde Yaşadığı Sorunlar
Authors: Duman Mehmet Zeki
Published: April 2021

The main purpose of this research is to address the changes that the family, which is seen as the smallest unit of society, is experiencing today, and in particular the problems caused by generational differences among family members, using the example of Generation Z. At the same time, the most important dimension of this discussion, which constitutes the scope of the study, is the disagreement and lack of communication, which is observed in general in domestic relations and often between generations and in particular the changing family perception of Generation Z and their problems with their parents. Interviews with 16 students from 16 Faculties of Van Yüzüncü Yıl University constituted the sample of the study in order to reveal both the perception of the mentioned generation towards the family and the problems in family relations. The results of the interview were recorded on computer and analyzed using descriptive analysis. The most important conclusion reached in the study was that the perceptions, attitudes and behaviors of the generations who grew up in different conditions differed, especially in their approaches to family values, and because of this differentiation, the younger generations experienced serious problems within the family.
Akdeniz’de Düzensiz Göçler ve Göçmenler: Terraferma Filmi Örneği
Authors: GÜN Elif , TEKEMEN Handan
Published: April 2021

Social and economic conflicts bring along irregular migrations, which are risky and dangerous and lead to humanitarian movements on a global scale. Irregular migration movements increasingly have become a problem of identity, belonging and recognition, and bring with new areas of discussion. Irregular migration, which goes beyond being a phenomenon that nation states can control alone, is perceived as a security threat, especially by European countries, and restrictions are increased with revised migration policies. The blockage of legal routes increases the demand for illegal methods and makes migrant smuggling more apparent. On the other hand, the Mediterranean, which is used as a migration route to reach Europe, has almost become identified with the bodies washed ashore. The number of recorded deaths of migrants in the Mediterranean reveals that the phenomenon of migration is a matter of right to life beyond the political, economic, and social interests of the nation states and accelerated the discussion of the problem on different platforms. Based on this, the film Terraferma, which is about irregular migration over the Mediterranean, was examined as a research subject and analyzed using the dramaturgical analysis technique. The film has been thematically interpreted on the basis of the plot, main idea, assumption, conflicts and characters. Policies such as the fact that global inequalities put pressure on the developed countries with irregular migration on one hand, and the situation of ignoring the phenomenon of irregular migration with strict migration on the other have been evaluated together.
DO ROMANCE ÀS CAPAS: FIGURAÇÃO E SOBREVIDA DA PERSONAGEM LOLITA
Authors: LAZARIN Denize Helena
Published: April 2021

Este estudo teve por objetivo investigar a figuração da personagem Lolita, no romance de Nabokov, bem como em quatro de suas capas. As personagens vêm sendo objeto de estudo no âmbito literário por muito tempo; contudo, vem ocorrendo uma transcendência delas para outros meios, inclusive nas capas de livros, o que desperta interesse de estudos mais amplos. A capa, além de paratexto do livro, é usada amplamente pelo mercado editorial como elemento de marketing da obra. Em muitos casos, essas duas funções entram em atrito. A hipótese, neste texto, é de que os aspectos publicitários da obra acabam se tornando tão importantes que as editoras muitas vezes privilegiam alguns elementos do romance em detrimento de outros, tais como a femme fatale e a ninfeta, Como base para análise, foram utilizados os estudos de Reis (2014), Eder, Jannidis e Schneider (2010) e Sonzogni (2011).

Published: April 2021

Online communications are ever increasing, and we are constantly faced with the challenge of whether online information is credible or not. Being able to assess the credibility of others was once the work solely of intelligence agencies. In the current times of disinformation and misinformation, understanding what we are reading and to who we are paying attention to is essential for us to make considered, informed, and accurate decisions, and it has become everyone’s business. This paper employs a literature review to examine the empirical evidence across online credibility, trust, deception, and fraud detection in an effort to consolidate this information to understand adversary online credibility – how do we know with whom we are conversing is who they say they are? Based on this review, we propose a model that includes examining information as well as user and interaction characteristics to best inform an assessment of online credibility. Limitations and future opportunities are highlighted.

Introduction: Primary health care is essential healthcare made universally accessible to individuals and acceptable to them through their full participation and at an affordable cost. It can be effectively delivered at the Basic health unit (BHU). Assessment of its performance at regular basis is also crucial for the health care system.

Objectives: To assess the services (EPI, antenatal care and basic healthcare) provided at selected BHUs of Peshawar with a view to determine service provision gaps in these BHUs.

Materials & Methods: It was a questionnaire based descriptive survey conducted from September to November 2019, in which simple random sampling technique was used to select 15 BHUs of district Peshawar for assessment and evaluation purposes. Data were collected using a checklist and an indigenous structured questionnaire where responses were recorded in yes/no format. Data analyzed using SPSS V.22 for descriptive statistics.

Results: All vaccines of the EPI program were being provided in BHUs except for Hepatitis B. Regarding BHU staff, in 80% BHUs male medical officers were absent, and in 40% BHUs female medical officers were absent. For the Maternal and Child Health Care (MCHC) services, Tetanus Toxoid vaccine and Folic Acid supplements were present in all BHUs but status of malnutrition was unsatisfactory. About 80% of BHUs had a satisfactory infrastructure; the safety and sanitation precautions in BHUs were not up to the mark regarding disposal of hazardous waste and needles.

Conclusion: Majority of the healthcare facilities were present in sampled BHUs including immunization services, MCHC services, infrastructure, safety, and sanitation. While the female staff was adequate in number, the attendance of male staff was poor.

In 2014, a new monitoring project started at the observational base Saravand of the
Byurakan astrophysical observatory. This project initiated for revealing natural and artificial objects at the near-Earth space. This is a kind of continuation of earlier observational projects implemented at the observatory prior the collapse of Soviet Union. This time, near-Earth space monitoring is carried out at the request of the Russian agency ROSKOSMOS. For observations, the EOP-1 module is used, which includes small telescopes with a mirror diameter of 40cm, 25cm and 19cm.
Ecology of Near-Earth Space
Authors: Nikoghosyan Elena
Published: April 2021

The technical achievements of our civilization are accompanied by certain negative
consequences affect the near-Earth space. The problem of clogging of near-Earth space by "space debris" as purely theoretical arose essentially as soon as the first artificial satellite in 1957 was launched. Since then, the rate of exploitation of outer space has increased very rapidly. As a result, the problem of clogging of near-Earth space ceased to be only theoretical and transformed into practical.
Presently, anthropogenic factors of the development of near-Earth space are divided
into several categories: mechanical, chemical, radioactive and electromagnetic pollution.
Color-Color Diagrams in Near Infrared: (J-H)/(H-K). I.
Authors: Gyulbudaghian Armen , Baloian N. , Sanchez I.
Published: April 2021

In the paper are presented the color-color diagrams (J-H)/(H-K) for all stars with visible
values B<11, for which in the known catalogs the values of J, H, K, and also spectral classes and luminosity classes of these stars are given. The diagrams are constructed for luminosity classes Ia, Ib, II, III, IV, V. The similarity of diagrams for classes Ia and Ib (super giants) and II (giants), is obvious from these diagrams. The diagrams obtained by us can be used for discovering of new young stars and also for determining of color excesses of investigating stars. Maximal amounts of stars are registered in the classes V and III. There is a tendency of increasing of J-H and H-K along the sequence of spectral classes O – M, which is correct for all luminosity classes.
Il modello del counseling nutrizionale nella gestione del paziente pediatrico in sovrappeso
Authors: Olivieri Emanuela , Scaramelli Fabio , Valente Maria Stella , Valente Michele
Published: April 2021

As assessed by the recent data published by the Observatory “Okkio alla Salute” [1-2], the overweight and the obesity are increasingly common in childhood; in Italy, the 23% of kids of 8/9 years are overweighed and the 9% of them are obese. The diet therapy for the pediatric patient is increasingly necessary at local, outpatient and hospital level. The diet therapy and nutritional programmes, however, present some specific issues and complexities, from different points of view (biological and technical, behavioural and communication one). In this Paper, the Authors propose and analyse the approach to the child and its family context based on the Nutritional Counselling model. The Paper illustrates the theoretic principles and applicative practices of an approach based on a systemic view of the nutrition behaviour.
Failures of Gricean reasoning and the role of stereotypes in the production of gender marking in French
Authors: Pozniak Céline , Burnett Heather
Published: April 2021

We partly replicate von der Malsburg et al. (2020)’s recent experiments investigating the relationship between speaker expectations, gender stereotypes and language use in English on a grammatical gender language: French. The results of our experiment show how the linguistic particularities of the English and French gender marking systems interact with speaker expectations and stereotypes to create different patterns of gender marking production. They also raise a puzzle for current theoretical and computational frameworks that formalize Gricean pragmatics, particularly those in which informativity (Gricean Quantity) is assumed to play a driving role in linguisticproduction.
Representações sobre a escola ideal para adolescentes dos anos finais do ensino fundamental em contexto de medida socioeducativa de internação
Authors: Bastos Sabrina Cecília Moraes , Fronza Cátia De Azevedo
Published: April 2021

Os atos infracionais cometidos por adolescentes no Brasil podem ser indicadores de um acesso restrito a direitos fundamentais, à cidadania e à justiça social. A escolarização de adolescentes em medida socioeducativa de internação integra o complexo panorama de adolescentes nos anos finais do ensino fundamental. Face a essa realidade, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar duas representações verbo-visuais sobre a escola ideal, produzidas por adolescentes de uma escola inserida em uma grande unidade de internação socioeducativa do sul do país. Os registros em análise apontam para problemas relativos à escola, juventudes e violência. Destaca-se, assim, a importância de a prática docente dialogar com a historicidade expressa na/pela linguagem dos jovens, especialmente no espaço socioeducativo, para que boas oportunidades de ensino e de aprendizagem se constituam como práticas concretas e efetivas.

Published: April 2021

In recent decades, massive improvements in graphic sophistication have begun to produce declining returns. The creative focus in game development has shifted to artificial intelligence. The queens’ task game is part of a sequence of popular games. It is the challenge of putting n chess queens on a game board such that no two queens are threatening each other. The plan does not involve two queens sharing the same row, column or diagonal. Each column contains exactly one queen, each row contains exactly one queen, and each diagonal contains exactly one queen. For every level in the game, there are many ways to solve it. For example, there are 92 solutions to the 8×8 problem. There are many levels in the literature, but each level should be downloaded separately. Thus, it causes a lot of difficulties for players, and they should download each level to complete the challenge. This will lead to more time and effort being spent by the players, and the cost of each level will cost the players more and more. As a result, the number of players who want to play this game will decrease. The aim of this paper is to incorporate a number of levels in order to save time, money and effort by downloading each level separately. This paper also aims to develop the proposed prototype and display all the solutions while playing a puzzle game at any level. The proposed game was tested by a questionnaire-based empirical study. Descriptive statistics on the questions revealed that the players had achieved the objectives of the game by applying their skills and knowledge and that the players had positive emotions about the effectiveness of the proposed game.
Critiquing a Grounded Theory Research Paper: Αn Educational Guide for Nurses
Authors: Evridiki Kaba , Areti Stavropoulou , Martha Kelesi , Georgia Toylia , Georgia Fasoi
Published: April 2021

Critical analysis of research has become a necessary task for nurses who intend to improve the quality of the care they provide by applying robust research evidence to clinical practice. The aims of the present paper are a) to discuss the various stage of critiquing research and b) to illustrate a case example of research critique by discussing a qualitative research paper. A systematic critique of a grounded theory research article, entitled “How Greek nurses perceive and overcome the barriers in implementing treatment for pressure ulcers: ‘Against the odds’”, was performed, using a framework that involves all stages needed in critiquing qualitative research. This framework was chosen because it provides specific guidelines and involves a detailed analysis of how each stage of the research must be accomplished.

This critique process led to the development of an educational guide for students and novice researchers, illustrating the methodological approach and the skills needed for conducting a critical analysis of a published qualitative research study.

This paper provides the necessary knowledge to nurse students about how to critique a published research paper and appraise research evidence that guides clinical practice and decision-making for the nursing care delivered.
