USING MAGIC BOTTLE TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ SPEAKING SKILLS
Authors: Ling Jen Shirley
Published: April 2023

Speaking has been the main problem for majority of Malaysian students as they are afraid to make mistakes.  In order for students to be understood while speaking in English, they need to be able to pronounce English words clearly. To solve this problem, a game ‘Magic Bottle’ was developed in this study. This research was conducted on a group of 27 students from Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Taman Universiti, Skudai, Johor Bahru.  It was triangulated through analysis of PBD Assessment Reports, a set of pre-test and post-test, participant observation and interview.  Early observation shows that none of the students passed their PBD Speaking Skills Assessment. Only 2 out of 27 students (7%) scored Band 2 in their PBD Assessment (Pelaporan Pentaksiran Bilik Darjah) for Speaking Skills. The rest, 25 out of 27 students (93%) only scored Band 1 in their Speaking Assessment.  All the students failed in the first PBD Speaking Skills Assessment.  In this study, students were taught about pronunciation using 'Magic Bottle'. In the game, students were exposed to the correct pronunciation of the difficult words. They were asked to read and role play the sentences in the game.  The research showed that students had improved their pronunciation through ‘Magic Bottle’.   The T-Test conducted at the end of the test shows that there was a significant improvement between the students’ post-test and pre-test results.  Students had also shown improvement in their PBD Speaking Skills.

Published: April 2023

This study investigated the influence of diversity on employee satisfaction: A study of tertiary institutions in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. Discrimination is becoming widespread in the workplace and is harmful to organizations. Any modern business goals should always consist of abolishing all kinds of discrimination around their work environment and creating a positive environment that includes diversity. From a population of 13822, a sample of 389 respondents was chosen for the study. The simple percentage, mean & standard deviation, as well as Pearson Product Moment Correlation analytic methods, were used to analyze the data generated from fieldwork. It was discovered that there is no significant relationship between gender and organizational employee satisfaction, there is no significant relationship between age and employee satisfaction, and there is a relationship between ethnicity and employee satisfaction as well. There is a relationship between education and employee satisfaction. From the findings generated for this study, the researcher recommends that; organizations must consider workplace diversity as an important factor for the satisfaction of employees, organizations that are working in diversity will also focus on ethnicity and development of a common social awareness model, management of organizations should continue to take steps to manage the diversity elements for attaining the satisfaction of employees as well as remuneration, promotion and other motivational incentives awarded to employees should be based on merit rather than tribalism, educational qualifications or age/gender differences so as to establish equity in the workplace.

CHINA’S HYBRID WARFARE IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA
Authors: Joshi Sarang , Tara Singh Inderjit Singh ,   National Defence University of Malaysia
Published: April 2023

With the advent of nuclear weapons and increased international impetus on human rights, the likelihood of a full-blown war between actors seems less likely. Therefore, it is apparent that concepts of war would again transform to suit a more acceptable form – Hybrid Warfare. The paradigm of Hybrid Warfare aims to exploit various domains traditionally not associated with war synergistically. The acts undertaken in these domains are calculated to be below a certain threshold and offer plausible deniability, which, therefore, cannot be classified as outright acts of war. Furthermore, these acts are exploited in a ‘Grey Zone’ – where delimitations between war and peace are not earmarked or clear. The disputed region of the South China Sea, wherein territorial and maritime disputes exist among several claimants, forms an ideal Grey Zone. Dominion over this region would address China's military, Economic, Energy and Food Security needs. Thus, in an effort towards dominating the South China Sea, China has been employing numerous means such as Diplomatic Manoeuvres, Economic Intimidation, Military Force and Miscellaneous Subversions. When analysed in unison, these acts undoubtedly reveal a Hybrid Warfare character.

Cannulas for Dermal Filler Placement: A Safety Review
Authors: Zimmerman Brittany
Published: April 2023

Over the last 10 years, the demand for nonsurgical aesthetic procedures has soared. Among these procedures, volume enhancement with soft tissue dermal fillers continues to be popular. New soft tissue dermal fillers are getting approved by the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and becoming available on the US market yearly. Traditionally, soft tissue fillers have been supplied and injected with hypodermal needles, however, the FDA has recently approved several soft tissue dermal fillers with the use of a cannula for injection. It is thought that cannulas may reduce injection complications, however, even with a blunt-tipped cannula patients can still suffer from tragic complications of vascular compromise leading to ischemia and blindness. It is essential that injectors understand the appropriate safety techniques to help avoid complications by learning how to determine whether a cannula is a better choice than a hypodermal needle when injecting and what to do if an intravascular event occurs.

Authors: Wira Pratama M. Ilham
Published: April 2023

Praktik tindak pidana perdagangan orang telah berkembang secara lintas negara dan tidak hanya dilakukan oleh perseorangan tetapi juga melibatkan korporasi dalam melakukan praktik perdagangan orang. Berdasarkan perkembangan tindak pidana perdagangan orang yang demikian itu, Pemerintah Republik Indonesia membentuk Undang-Undang Nomor 21 Tahun 2007 tentang Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Perdagangan Orang lantaran perundang-undangan yang telah ada sebelumnya dinilai belum memadai untuk menanggulangi tindak pidana perdagangan orang. Sehingga, perlu dilakukan analisis terhadap undang-undang tersebut untuk mengetahui kebijakan hukum pidana yang diambil oleh pemerintah dalam menanggulangi tindak pidana perdagangan orang. Penelitian ini termasuk penelitian hukum normatif, pendekatan penelitian yang digunakan adalah konseptual dan perundang-undangan, serta pengumpulan bahan hukum dengan metode studi kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Undang-Undang Nomor 21 Tahun 2007 tentang Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Perdagangan Orang sudah berorientasi pada upaya penanggulangan tindak pidana perdagangan orang, namun masih terdapat kekurangan yaitu tidak adanya kewajiban Pemerintah Republik Indonesia untuk melindungi orang asing yang menjadi korban tindak pidana perdagangan orang di Indonesia.

Published: April 2023

An analytical method was developed for the determination of Lutetium in dilute nitric acid medium using high resolution ICP-AES analytical technique. These studies were required for the determination of Lutetium contents in radiopharmaceutical samples. For the patients suffering from cancers, 177Lu DOTA-TATE peptide receptor radionuclide therapy is used. This necessitates the use of 177Lu and obviously the quantification of Lutetium for its efficient application during medical therapy which is used for the preparation of the patients suffering from cancers. Due to short half life of 177Lu of 6.67 days, it is most likely to get added up with Hf, as it is build up on storage, the undesired impurity element. Hence the effect of Hf on the determination of Lu was studied. Subsequently seven actual samples of 177Lu were analysed for Lu contents after taking into account Hf contribution if any.

Published: April 2023

Hair is a protein filament that grows out of the follicles of mammalian dermis. Hair is made of a tough protein called keratin and a colouring protein called melanin. Hair is also one of the most common biological evidence found at a crime scene and it is ac-counted as a class evidence. We can easily use hair to solve the question of who committed the crime as hair helps in individual-ising a person. From the root of the hair we can get nuclear DNA (Deoxyribose nucleic acid) and from the shaft of the hair we can get mitochondrial DNA. We can also use hair to find out the race and individualistic characteristics of persons. In this study, an effort has been made to distinguish between the morphometric features of hair from the different regions of India. To do this, India was divided into six regions that included the north, south, west, east, central and northeast. Fifty hair samples from each region were collected and morphological and metric features were estimated and compared. This study was conducted as there is a lack of region specific characteristics to identify people of different regions of India through hair.

Social Media is an interactive technology that allows the exchange of data, information and posts virtually. More than positive, there are negative effects from a social media that we never cared about, or they never wanted us to know. Teens use the social media platform more in today's scenario wherein they can’t keep their phone aside or go out without it. The amount of time spent on social media is more compared to the useful works done in day-to-day life. There are many challenges of social media. The social media companies are using us as their products to gain more out of it, where they sell us without our knowledge. By giving space to the advertisement, social media is also gaining more profit. Some of the social media sites are already in existence and some are yet to be established. The truth is that in today's scenario most of the people or users are not able to live without the social media platform and still are unaware of what is happening behind. There are many untold scary truths behind all these business games.

Authors: Joyson Ann Mary , Krishnan Mini Gopala , Mathew Soya
Published: April 2023

This investigation focuses on flow and corresponding heat transfer behavior of viscoplastic Bingham- Papanastasiou fluid over a static radiated wedge. The modeled boundary layer flow governing equations are simplified by using similarity transformations. Numerical results are obtained for the economized equations by employing Runge-Kutta and Newton’s method. The impact of the associated parameters concerned with the fluid properties, friction factor and local Nusselt number are determined. It is found that the thermal radiation parameter improves the heat transfer rate. Bingham number boosts the friction at the wall and reduces the heat transfer rate. Improvement in Bingham number reduces the free surface movement and velocity of the fluid increases.

Published: April 2023

Speech recognition is a multidisciplinary branch of natural language processing (NLP) that allows machines to recognize and translate spoken language into text. Speech recognition is crucial in the digital transformation process and it is widely employed in a variety of fields, such as education, industry, and healthcare, and has lately been employed in a number of Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Speech is a simple and effective method for human communication, but nowadays we are not only connected to one another, but also to the various devices in our lives. As a result, this kind of communication can be used by both computers and people. Interfaces are used to carry out the interaction, which is referred to as Human Computer Interaction (HCI). This paper provides an outline of the key areas of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), an important topic in artificial intelligence. It also includes an overview of recent major research in speech processing, as well as a basic idea of our proposal that may be considered as a major contribution to this field of research. The paper also refers to some specific enhancements that can add value to the researchers in future.

Published: April 2023

The outbreak of COVID 19 as a global pandemic has created challenges in every sector. From adapting to new habits and lifestyles, individuals, organisations, and the government have had to take measures to cope with the unprecedented situation. The strategies adopted by Kerala, a southern state in India, received international coverage and appreciation for their preventive measures against COVID 19. Along with the medical practitioners, the Kerala Government involved law enforcers in the COVID prevention mission. The Kerala Police Department was in the front line to sensitise and educate the community about lockdown measures and safety protocols and played a pivotal role to curb the spread of the disease. The state police department used widespread campaigns to reach out to netizens about the preventive measures adopted by the government. This paper discusses how the Kerala State Police Department used its social media platform, specifically their Facebook page, to assist the COVID prevention campaign of the government. The study used quantitative content analysis of the official Facebook page of the Kerala State Police Department to gain knowledge about their communication strategy. An audience survey was conducted to measure the impact of social media communication and the perception of the police department. Thus, the paper tries to find if an active social media campaign is a powerful tool in changing the perception of the audience during a crisis.

Authors: Augustine Aby , Javvaji Hannah , Abraham
Published: April 2023

The study explores the deception communication strategies used in BASF's 'We Love EV's' digital-only advertising campaign and promotional website. Although greenwashing is not uncommon, in the past two decades, it has given rise to a newer area in marketing called 'corporate environmentalism'. The researchers for this study use descriptive content analysis to analyse various greenwashing strategies and draw similarities with the propaganda techniques used by BASF's 'We Love EV's' digital-only advertising campaign and promotional website. As identified by Underwriters Laboratories, Greenwashing techniques are used by BASF's 'We Love EV's' digital-only advertising campaign and promotional website. Further, it identified that the campaign used the Plain folk testimonial technique as a significant tool to alter perceptions. The study also reveals that the testimonies given by participants do not mention the brand name nor the use of BASF components in their self-made electric vehicles, hinting that BASF products are implicit ingredients of mobility solutions.

Authors: TOKGÖZ Hüseyin , ÇALIŞKAN Ümran , DURAN Tuğçe , ÇALIŞKAN SAK Kaniye Zeynep
Published: April 2023

Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) is an autosomal recessive disease associated with platelet aggregation dysfunction with normal platelet count, causing bleeding diathesis. GT is characterized by decreased levels or decreased function of the glycoprotein IIb-IIIa (GPIIb-IIIa) complex and therefore results in an increased tendency to bleeding as the aggregation phase of primary hemostasis cannot be sufficiently formed. Factor V Leiden mutation is a genetic mutation predisposing to thrombophilia. We present this case in which Factor V and Glanzmann thrombasthenia with hematoma in the anterior mediastinum are rarely seen together.

Authors: Cruz Bruna Inez dos Santos , Modiano Patrícia
Published: April 2023

Introdução: A população carcerária feminina só cresce e, concomitantemente, ocorre o aumento da violação de direitos básicos, como o acesso à saúde e à dignidade. Nesse sentido, as questões exclusivas do sexo feminino são negligenciadas e seus problemas tornam-se invisíveis dentro do Sistema Prisional. Relato de Experiência: Foi desenvolvida como ação de extensão da Liga Acadêmica de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia –LAGOB, uma atividade para as reeducandas da Penitenciária Feminina de Guariba. Para isso, 6 membros foram selecionados para acompanharem e realizarem consultas, colherem o exame do Papanicolau, em conjunto com outros voluntários, dentre eles uma médica que iria auxiliar nos atendimentos. A maioria das mulheres relatou queixas referentes à saúde mental, e assim, a escuta ativa foi a ferramenta mais utilizada, por permitir a compreensão de suas realidades, histórias e queixas, e o impacto do abandono por parte de seus familiares e a perda de apoio. Discussão: A atividade permitiu corroborar com os dados encontrados na literatura relacionados à falta de acesso à saúde e outros direitos humanos, evidenciando a relevância dessas ações. Conclusão: O oferecimento dos atendimentos médicos e exames preventivos para essa população é de extrema importância, devido à precariedade do acesso à saúde devido aos benefícios que os atendimentos poderão repercutir em suas vidas. Portanto, a atividade realizada possibilitou a oportunidade de conhecer uma população distante do nosso cotidiano e compreender suas necessidades, para que no nosso futuro possamos agir em prol da saúde de populações negligenciadas.

Aim: To determine the factors that interfere with students’ perceptions of happiness and satisfaction with life during the initial process of adaptation to the college environment. Material and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study involving students from the first to fourth years of the medical program at a private school in Brazil. The data were collected using an SurveyMonkey. The students completed a questionnaire to assess daily activities and personal characteristics in addition to the Pemberton Happiness Index (PHI) and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) instruments. Results: The final regression models explained 42.2% and 44.7% of the total variance of the SWLS and PHI scores, respectively. Although personal, school, and out-of-school variables were individually associated with the investigated scores, the personal variables explained most of the score variability overall (57.8% and 55.3% of the SWLS and PHI scores, respectively). Conclusion: This study identified and quantified factors (personal, school, and out-of-school) that could be associated with happiness and satisfaction as medical students. Medical students with positive personality traits such as good health perception, optimism, financial satisfaction, and fulfillment as medical students were happier and more satisfied. We hope that that this research provides data for researchers and medical schools to facilitate pedagogical improvements for student evaluation.
Magyarország vízmérlege és az éghajlatváltozás
Authors: Báder László
Published: April 2023

A globális felmelegedéssel járó hőmérséklet-növekedéssel nő a párolgási igény. Vízmérlegünk legnagyobb tagjai (az átfolyó vízmenynyiséget nem számítva) bevételi oldalon a csapadék, kiadási oldalon a párolgás. Az éghajlati energiák elosztását végző párolgásnak a szerepét azonban nem veszteségként, hanem szolgáltatásként kell értelmeznünk: egyik legfontosabb funkciója a felszín melegedésének korlátozása. A teljes lakossági-, ipari- és mezőgazdasági vízigénynél nagyobb mennyiségű vízre van most szükség a párolgás növeléséhez, azért, hogy az éghajlati víz- és energiamérleg kedvezőtlen változásait fékezzük. Még mielőtt versenyfutás kezdődne a vízért a légköri vízigény és a felszíni (természeti és társadalmi) vízigények kielégítése között, egy rendszerszemléletű integrált légkörvízkör modell kidolgozására van szükség. A víz és párolgás szerepéről alkotott nézeteinket meg kell újítani. A passzív párolgáshoz képest meg kell növelni a növényzet segítségével szabályozott (és hasznosított) aktív párologtatás mennyiségét és arányát. A civilizációk kialakulása és fejlődése során az ember képessé vált a hidrológiai ciklus stabilitását befolyásolni. A vízbiztonság érdekében ezért nem „csak” egy vízügyi problémát, hanem egy civilizációs problémát kell megoldanunk. Ez messze nem csak a vízügy feladata, a kihívás az élet minden területét érinti az oktatástól a kutatásig, a legkülönbözőbb ágazatokkal együtt. Ezzel a megközelítéssel a vízügyi ágazat szerepe is új értelmezést nyer: úttörője és motorja lehet a kedvező változásoknak.
Adatok a Mária és Hodos Patakvölgyi Vízitársulat működéséről (1904-1912)
Authors: Konecsny Konecsny Károly
Published: April 2023

A Felső-Tisza baloldali mellékfolyója, a Kraszna dombvidéki szakaszán az I. világháborút megelőző évtizedekben az érintett községek birtokosainak összefogásával több kisebb vízitársulat alakult, főleg patakmeder-szabályozási és lecsapolási munkák végzésére. A szakirodalom szerint ilyen vízitársulat jött létre a Mária és Boldád patakok völgyében 1894-ben, Krasznabéltek (Beltiug) székhellyel. Nem található adat azonban arra, hogy ennek a társulatnak a szomszédságában a Mária patak Szakasz (Rătești) község feletti szakaszán és a Hodos patak alsó részén nagyszokondi (Socond), krasznasándorfalvai (Șandra), oláhgyűrűsi (Gerăușa) és béltekhodosi (Hodișa) érdekeltség 1904-től egy másik vízitársulat megalakulását kezdeményezte. 1906-ban a Debreceni M. Kir. Kultúrmérnöki Hivatal elkészítette a medertisztítás tervét. A benyújtott kérelem és hatósági határozat alapjá1907. október 3-án a Földművelésügyi Minisztérium tudomásul vette a 285 hold területű érdekeltség Mária és Hodos Patakvölgyi Vízitársulattá alakulását. A Nagyszokond székhelyű társulat részére Szatmár vármegye alispánja 1910. május 11-i véghatározata előzetesen megengedte a munkálatok megkezdését. 1910. decemberében elkészült a végleges vízjogi engedélyt tartalmazó hatósági határozat, a vízimunkák részletes műszaki adataival. A társulat az I. világháború idején feltételezhetően befejezte működését.

Authors: Sri Andriyani  , Rujitoningtyas Karimatussholikah , Wigati Hilmi U. , Amalina Nur Dina
Published: April 2023

High exposure to ultraviolet light and chemicals causes cell senescence due to the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Cell senescence is known as one of the causes of degenerative diseases. Reducing ROS levels using antioxidant compounds can overcome cell senescence. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of Moringa leaf extract (EDK) as an anti-aging agent and predict the molecular mechanisms underlying its activity. EDK active compounds were identified through qualitative phytochemical screening, a cytotoxic assay was evaluate using MTT assay, ROS level calculate under DCFDA flow cytometry assay, and cell senescence analyze using SA-β-galactosidase assay. The molecular mechanism that plays an important role in senescence was analyzed through bioinformatics studies and molecular docking in silico to investigate the interaction strength of the active compound EDK with the target protein. The results showed that the EDK ethanol extract contained flavonoid, phenolic, alkaloid, saponin, and steroid compounds. This extract did not give any cytotoxic effect on NIH3T3 cells, as evidenced by the IC50 value of 420μg/mL. EDK concentrations of ¼IC50 (105μg/mL) and ½IC50 (210μg/mL) significantly reduced ROS level in dose-dependent manner in the NIH3T3 cell population with high oxidative stress induced by Doxorubicin 10nM (Dox). The percentage of senescence cells also decreased due to EDK 210μg/mL administration up to 47.60% compared to the positive aging control Dox 10nM (78.90%). Bioinformatics studies found that p21 and TP53 proteins were most directly affected by EDK active compounds in the senescence pathway. The quercetin compound in EDK has the most robust interaction strength against p21 and TP53 proteins compared to ligands. In conclusion, it can be concluded that the active compound EDK can suppress intracellular ROS levels and compete with p21 and TP53 proteins in preventing cell senescence.

Keselamatan dalam berkendara sangatlah penting. Akan tetapi pengendara kurang begitu peduli dengan jalanan, salah satunya marka jalan yang bisa mengakibatkan hal yang  tidak diinginkan seperti kecelakaan hingga kemacetan lalu lin- tas. Dengan begitu perlunya pengingat agar pengemudi bisa  mengambil tindakan pencegahan, seperti mendeteksi marka yang  ada di jalan yang berguna untuk mengontrol dan mempertim- bangkan posisi kendaraan. Deteksi marka jalan yang menggu- nakan Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) sebagai pengindraan  kondisi marka jalan sehingga dapat membaca objek badan marka jalan yang mendeteksi dan mengenali bentuk yang ditangkap menggunakan kamera, lalu citra tersebut diterima pada input, diproses, dan output, yang diolah dalam dua dimensi  hingga menghasilkan proses yang diharapkan. Library yang digu- nakan pada bidang CNN ini menggunakan TensorFlow, dibantu  dengan algoritma You Only Look Once (YOLO). TensorFlow dan YOLO digunakan untuk mengeksekusi perintah dan mengenali objek yang berbeda. Dengan begitu diharapkan kesalahan yang terjadi di lalu lintas semakin kecil.

Bektaşi Şeyhlerinin Hacı Bektaş Veli Tekkesi (Pirevi) Postnişinlerinin Arzlarıyla Atanmaları
Authors: Altı Aziz
Published: April 2023

Bektaşi tarikatının merkezi Hacı Bektaş Veli Tekkesi’dir. Osmanlı Devleti, Bektaşileri temsiliyet noktasında kendisine muhatap olarak Hacı Bektaş Veli Tekkesi’ndeki postnişini almıştır. Hacı Bektaş Veli’nin evladından yani Çelebilere mensup olan postnişine, Osmanlı Devleti’ndeki tüm Bektaşi tekkelerine atanacak olan şeyh adaylarını merkeze arzda bulunma yetkisi verilmişti. Tespit edilebildiği kadarıyla bu konudaki ilk vesika 1610 yılına aitti. Ancak belge içeriğinden Pirevi’nin geçmiş yıllarda da bu imtiyaz hakkına sahip olduğu anlaşılmıştı. Pirevi’ne tanınan bu imtiyaz zaman zaman vali, kadı, naib ve mütevelli gibi kişilerce ihlal edilmişti. İhlal neticesinde gerçekleşen atamalarda ehil olmayan kişiler Bektaşi tekkelerinin yönetimini ele geçirerek tekkelerin gelirlerine el koymuşlar ve tarikat erbabına kötü muamelede bulunarak tekkelerin harap olmasına yol açmışlardı. Ortada kalan dervişler ise han ve dükkan köşelerinde perişan bir yaşamın içinde kalmışlardı. Bu duruma sessiz kalmayan Pirevi kendi salahiyetinde olan imtiyazını korumak adına bu tarz girişimleri merkeze şikayet etmişti. Bu doğrultuda Pirevi’ne belirli aralıklarla Bektaşi tekkeleri üzerindeki hakimiyetini tesis eden imtiyaz hakkı içerikli vesika verilmişti. Her ne kadar belirli dönemlerde Pirevi’ne imtiyaz içerikli belgeler verilmiş olsa da dışarıdan müdahale ile bazı tekkelerdeki şeyh atamalarında bu imtiyaz hakkına riayet edilmemeye devam edilmişti. Bu makalede Pirevi’ne verilen imtiyaz hakkı ve imtiyaz hakkının ihlali neticesinde Bektaşi tekkelerinde oluşan durum ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır.
