Published: November 2023

This study aims to determine how marketing strategies affect customer satisfaction, how marketing strategies affect customer loyalty. Companies must have effective methods to improve optimal marketing strategies.  The method that the researcher uses in this research is the qualitative method, the data analysis method uses descriptive data analysis, which is carried out through interviews in accordance with the provisions. Based on the results of this study, it is stated that the marketing strategy is very influential on customer satisfaction, which is evidenced by the perceived quality of customers when shopping at Indomaret. Forming trust and consumers tend to believe when they already know and know the optimal service at Indomaret in the East Java area. Marketing strategy is also very influential on customer loyalty, this is evidenced by repurchasing (repeat orders) and positive responses that support and agree if the goods sold at Indomaret are safe and reliable so that consumer confidence in the goods or products becomes high and weak so that it can affect interest buy.

We prove a new general Poincaré-type inequality for differential forms on compact Riemannian manifolds with nonempty boundary. When the boundary is isometrically immersed in Euclidean space, we derive a new inequality involving mean and scalar curvatures of the boundary only and characterize its limiting case in codimension one. A new Ros-type inequality for differential forms is also derived assuming the existence of a nonzero parallel form on the manifold.

AU Mic is a young (22 Myr), nearby exoplanetary system that exhibits excess transit timing variations (TTVs) that cannot be accounted for by the two known transiting planets nor stellar activity. We present the statistical “validation” of the tentative planet AU Mic d (even though there are examples of “confirmed” planets with ambiguous orbital periods). We add 18 new transits and nine midpoint times in an updated TTV analysis to prior work. We perform the joint modeling of transit light curves using EXOFASTv2 and extract the transit midpoint times. Next, we construct an O−C diagram and use Exo-Striker to model the TTVs. We generate TTV log-likelihood periodograms to explore possible solutions for d’s period, then follow those up with detailed TTV and radial velocity Markov Chain Monte Carlo modeling and stability tests. We find several candidate periods for AU Mic d, all of which are near resonances with AU Mic b and c of varying order. Based on our model comparisons, the most-favored orbital period of AU Mic d is 12.73596 ± 0.00793 days (T

C,d = 2458340.55781 ± 0.11641 BJD), which puts the three planets near 4:6:9 mean-motion resonance. The mass for d is 1.053 ± 0.511 M
⊕, making this planet Earth-like in mass. If confirmed, AU Mic d would be the first known Earth-mass planet orbiting a young star and would provide a valuable opportunity in probing a young terrestrial planet’s atmosphere. Additional TTV observations of the AU Mic system are needed to further constrain the planetary masses, search for possible transits of AU Mic d, and detect possible additional planets beyond AU Mic c.
Constraining the Binarity of Black Hole Candidates: A Proof-of-concept Study of Gaia BH1 and Gaia BH2
Authors: Hayashi 林 Toshinori 利憲 , Suto 須藤 Yasushi 靖 , Trani 三努郎 Alessandro A. 虎似
Published: November 2023

Nearly a hundred binary black holes (BBHs) have been discovered with gravitational-wave signals emitted at their merging events. Thus, it is quite natural to expect that significantly more abundant BBHs with wider separations remain undetected in the Universe or even in our Galaxy. We consider a possibility that star–BH binary candidates may indeed host an inner BBH instead of a single BH. We present a detailed feasibility study of constraining the binarity of the currently available two targets, Gaia BH1 and Gaia BH2. Specifically, we examine three types of radial velocity (RV) modulations of a tertiary star in star–BBH triple systems; short-term RV modulations induced by the inner BBH, long-term RV modulations induced by the nodal precession, and long-term RV modulations induced by the von Zeipel-Kozai–Lidov oscillations. Direct three-body simulations combined with approximate analytic models reveal that the Gaia BH1 system may exhibit observable signatures of the hidden inner BBH if it exists at all. The methodology that we examine here is quite generic and is expected to be readily applicable to future star–BH binary candidates in a straightforward manner.
Observational Evidence of the Merging of Filaments and Hub Formation in G083.097+03.270

Published: November 2023

We uncover a hub–filament system correlated with massive young stellar associations in G083.097+03.270. Diagnosed with simultaneous 12CO, 13CO, and C18O line observations, the region is found to host two distinct and elongated filaments having separate velocity components, interacting spatially and kinematically, that appear to have seeded the formation of a dense hub at the intersection. A large velocity spread at the hub, in addition to a clear bridging feature connecting the filaments in velocity, indicate the merging of filaments. Along the filament axis, the velocity gradient reveals a global gas motion with an increasing velocity dispersion inward to the hub signifying turbulence. Altogether, the clustering of Class I sources, a high excitation temperature, a high column density, and the presence of a massive outflow at the central hub suggest enhanced star formation. We propose that the merging of large-scale filaments and velocity gradients along filaments are the driving factors in the mass accumulation process at the hub that have sequentially led to the massive star formation. With two giant filaments merging to coincide with a hub therein with ongoing star formation, this site serves as a benchmark for the “filaments to clusters” star-forming paradigm.

'Hello Darkness, My Old Friend ': The Company of Music in a Cinema of (Shared) Loneliness
Authors: Cenciarelli Carlo
Published: November 2023

How have cinema's representations of loneliness changed over time, in keeping with the changing technological mediation of loneliness? What can these representations tell us about how the experience of loneliness is made sense of in everyday life? And, crucially, how has cinema's own
technicity remediated loneliness in the process of representing it? In order to unpack some of these complexities, this article narrows its focus to a mere two minutes of screen time: the opening of The Graduate (1967), with its iconic representation of a lone character traversing
Los Angeles International Airport to the tune of Simon and Garfunkel's 'The Sound of Silence'. The Graduate opens an important window into a particular sociohistorical moment when technologies, techniques, industry concerns and social conditions placed the audio-visual aesthetics of
loneliness at the core of American cinema. I interpret this moment as the symbolic beginning of what Robert Kolker has termed 'a cinema of loneliness', a body of films that frequently featured solo drifters at plot level and that were made by directors working in isolation due to the collapse
of the old Hollywood studio system. Notably, The Graduate forces us to deal with a fundamental aspect of the 'cinema of loneliness' that Kolker intentionally sidesteps: the use of preexisting popular music to offer a glimpse into a character's state of mind. Moving beyond the confines
of film and narrative theory, and situating the film in broader histories of listening, cinema-going and audio technologies, I argue that the soundtrack of The Graduate reflected new ways of listening 'alone together' that were developing both within and without the cinema theatre.
I show that the film employs music in a manner consistent with how transistor radios were being used and discussed in 1960s America, and I explore how – in the very process of placing loneliness at the centre of its audio-visual aesthetics – it enabled heavily mediated experiences
of shared loneliness. More specifically, I propose that 'The Sound of Silence' is central not only to how The Graduate conveys loneliness but also to how the film provides a provisional and non-political way out of it.
Les schèmes affectifs et le rôle de l’affectivité dans la construction de la connaissance et de la subjectivité : examen critique de la conception piagétienne

Authors: Ads Menatalla M. , Keller Alex Eve
Published: November 2023

Pediatricians are typically the first people families trust to discuss their child's mental health concerns and are uniquely positioned to help address the problem of limited access to mental health services. This article covers brief behavioral interventions pediatricians can use to help treat mild depressive symptoms in the primary care context. Interventions include strategies for talking about depression (eg, validating experiences, normalizing difficulties, and emphasizing whole-body health), educating patients and their families (eg, psychoeducation about signs, symptoms, and treatment options), using brief behavioral and cognitive interventions (eg, behavioral activation and cognitive coping), and including a family and culturally sensitive approach to symptom management.

Published: November 2023

Thunderstorm activity on March 25, 2023 provided a unique opportunity to study the mechanism of lightning events on changes in air pressure. In particular, this event made it possible to study changes in air pressure during thunderstorms using various instruments. This paper presented comprehensive results of infrasound, satellite data, weather radar and weather measurements at the ground during the storm. Observations of lightning events were confirmed using observational data from the International Space Station's Lightning Imaging Sensor (ISS LIS). This work estimated three spectral percentile values on infrasonic sensor data, time series interpolation of standard meteorology profiles, weather radar reflectivity and total radiant energy of lightning from ISS LIS observations during the day and night periods. As a result, during the investigation, it was seen that the recorded infrasound signal in the 0.6–0.8 Hertz (Hz) range was contaminated by background environmental noise, but in the 1–3 Hz band range it was consistent with the appearance of storms that produce high energy blows. Infrasound detection and electromagnetic lightning detection show good correlation up to a distance of 100 km from the infrasonic station. During a thunderstorm, the ISS LIS flight directly above the observation site detected more than 2,000 lightning events. In addition, the application of lightning detection from several independent instruments can provide a complete picture of the observed event.

Published: November 2023

The Boudahar massif is located in the southern part of the eastern belt of the Moroccan High Atlas and it corresponds to a reef mass of about ten kilometers in length. Jbel Boudahar is a district of lead-zinc-barite mineralization, known by a strong artisanal exploitation of its ores. This district is characterized by its topography with a contrast of altitude and an arid environment, which makes the information acquired more valuable.
The processing of Landsat 8 OLI data allowed us to extract a lithological and structural map, aiming to make correlations to understand the distribution of lead-zinc mineralization. To this end, several tests were carried out, including the composition of color, principal component analysis and band ratio transformation.
The location of the main deposits at Jbel Boudhar coincides well with the lineament derived from band 1 of principal component analysis and with the dolomitic pliensbachian formations mapped by MNF and BR from Landsat Oli8. A remote sensing geological prospecting model has been established for the Jbel Boudhar lead-zinc deposits, providing a basis for future prospecting of new deposits in a similar context.

Researchers are studying whether digital transformation can increase corporate risk-taking. A study using data from Chinese companies between 2010 and 2019 shows that digital transformation does enhance risk-taking. This is achieved through two channels—reducing financial risk and enhancing enterprise value—and attracting media attention and improving information communication. Other factors like ownership, financing, industry competition, and policy uncertainty can also boost this effect. These findings offer significant contributions towards comprehending the influence of digital transformation on the real economy and offer practical insights to optimize the digital dividend and enhance the high-quality development of enterprises.

Authors: Ji Xiaolin , Su Chang
Published: November 2023

This article aims to optimize the supply chain financing model and address virtual economic risk control by effectively reducing associated risks. To achieve this objective, the backpropagation (BP) neural network model is designed and implemented, promoting the application of intelligent technology in supply chain financing and virtual economic risk control. Initially, a fundamental BP neural network model is developed and evaluated. Subsequently, an Adam-BP neural network model is proposed by optimizing the Adam optimizer, providing substantial technical support for enhancing the supply chain financing model and virtual economic risk control. The research results indicate significant performance improvement after applying Adam optimization to BP, with all indicators in the plant classification dataset surpassing 0.92 and those in the credit card fraud dataset increasing to above 0.9. Thus, the model presented here exhibits exceptional adaptability and offers effective technical support for optimizing the supply chain financing model and virtual economic risk control methods.
Assessing the Impact of Perceived Risks and Constraints on the Destination Image and Travel Intentions of Taiwanese Tourists Considering India
Authors: Liu Ming , Thomas Joe
Published: November 2023

Taiwan is one of the most significant source sources of tourists in Asia, both in terms of number of tourists making trips abroad and the amount of money spent abroad by tourists. India is one of the countries in Asia that is influential in terms of geography, culture, and economy. Yet, the number of Taiwanese travelling to India is minuscule compared to those travelling to other Asian countries. This study examines the relationship among perceived risks, perceived constraints, destination image, and intention to visit India of potential Taiwanese tourists. Convenience sampling was adopted for this study, and the questionnaires were distributed online by Google Forms in Taipei from May 6 to June 10, 2023, for data collection. Factor analysis, reliability test, validity test, and partial least square structural equation modeling were used for data analysis. The findings showed that destination image had a positive influence on intention to visit; perceived risks had a negative impact on both destination image and intent to visit; perceived constraints had a negative effect on both destination image and intent to visit; and destination image had a mediating effect between perceived risks/constraints and intention to visit.

Authors: Kumararathna K. S. , Shanika M. K. A. , Fenando S.
Published: November 2023

A considerable postharvest loss has been documented in banana due to its very perishable nature and abundant production in Sri Lanka. The present study was conducted to develop banana biscuits utilizing banana flour obtained from three different local cultivars (ash plantain, seeni and ambun banana) with the purpose of decreasing the postharvest losses of banana. The composite mixture of unripe banana flour and wheat flour with varied degrees such as 0, 20, 40, 60, and 100% w/w were utilized to create biscuits from each banana cultivar and an initial sensory evaluation was carried out. Proximate composition, microbial qualities, and the shelf life were assessed for the biscuits developed. The biscuits containing 100% w/w ash plantain flour, 100% w/w ambun banana flour, and 80% w/w seeni banana flour were ranked at the highest for assessed properties in second sensory analysis. Among these, 100% w/w ash plantain biscuit was picked as the best product utilizing second sensory analysis. The ash, moisture, fiber, fat, protein, and carbohydrates of ash plantain biscuit were 2.3 ± 0.1%, 3.78 ± 0.5%, 4.33 ± 0.5%, 0.33 ± 0.01%, 4.56 ± 0.25%, and 87.73 ± 3.5%, respectively while moisture content and pH changes of all types of biscuits were ranged within 6.5 - 7.3 and 3.2 - 4.0%, respectively during the storage period. Microbial studies revealed that biscuits can be preserved for two months in biaxially oriented polypropylene containers under ambient temperature. In conclusion, the banana flour may be efficiently used to create the biscuits thereby lowering the postharvest losses of banana.

Published: November 2023

Objectives: Public healthcare data have become crucial to the advancement of medicine, and recent changes in legal structure on privacy protection have expanded access to these data with pseudonymization. Recent debates on public healthcare data use by private insurance companies have shown large discrepancies in perceptions among the general public, healthcare professionals, private companies, and lawmakers. This study examined public attitudes toward the secondary use of public data, focusing on differences between public and private entities.Methods: An online survey was conducted from January 11 to 24, 2022, involving a random sample of adults between 19 and 65 of age in 17 provinces, guided by the August 2021 census.Results: The final survey analysis included 1,370 participants. Most participants were aware of health data collection (72.5%) and recent changes in legal structures (61.4%) but were reluctant to share their pseudonymized raw data (51.8%). Overall, they were favorable toward data use by public agencies but disfavored use by private entities, notably marketing and private insurance companies. Concerns were frequently noted regarding commercial use of data and data breaches. Among the respondents, 50.9% were negative about the use of public healthcare data by private insurance companies, 22.9% favored this use, and 1.9% were “very positive.”Conclusions: This survey revealed a low understanding among key stakeholders regarding digital health data use, which is hindering the realization of the full potential of public healthcare data. This survey provides a basis for future policy developments and advocacy for the secondary use of health data.
A Reconfigurable Battery Topology for Cell Balancing
Authors: Ye Yiming , Zhang Jiangfeng
Published: November 2023

This paper proposes a novel reconfigurable battery balancing topology and reinforcement learning-based intelligent balancing management system. The different degradations cause a significant loss of battery pack available capacity, as the pack power output relies on the weakest cell due to the relevant physical requirements. To handle this capacity drop issue, a reconfigurable battery topology is adopted to improve the usability of the heterogeneous battery. There are some existing battery reconfigurable topologies in the literature. However, these studies rely on the limited options of topology designs, and there is a lack of study on the reconfigurability of these designs and other possible new designs. Also, it is rare to find an optimal management system for the reconfigurable battery topology. To fill these research gaps, this paper explores existing battery reconfigurable topology designs and proposes a new reconfigurable topology for battery balancing. Besides, the battery reconfigurability problem is modeled as an optimization problem, and the balancing time and total power output are modeled as objective functions. Then, a reinforcement learning-based intelligent management system is proposed to identify the best battery topology for minimizing equalization time and battery degradation for heterogeneously degraded batteries. The simulation results show that the proposed method can effectively balance the inhomogeneous battery cell and alleviate battery degradation.
Vademecum on Synodality: How Can We Journey Together?

The synodality of Pope Francis comes with lots of excitement, misgivings and misconceptions. Some have asked whether it is a product of coercion or freedom. Some have wondered whether it is a true renewal or a disguised trap. Some have questioned the intention of this synod. It is factual that every synod is shrouded in mystery and the Holy Spirit is the principle of communion and mission in the Church, the principle of synodality. The fears, anxiety, tensions, joys and excitement this synod has generated seems unprecedented in the recent history of the Church. The processes of this synodality will determine the 'shape of the future of the Church. We shall therefore examine in this paper the virtues and vices that can make or mar the processes.

Eschatologiczny wymiar pielgrzymowania na Święto Namiotów (por. Za 14,16nn, Ap 7,9nn)
Authors: Miduch Maria
Published: November 2023

Pielgrzymowanie jest wpisane w tradycję narodu wybranego, a także chrześcijan. Teksty biblijne Starego i Nowego Testamentu podejmują ów temat. Dostrzeżenie wątku pielgrzymowania w tradycji apokaliptycznej wydaje się szczególnie interesujące. Artykuł prezentuje dwa teksty biblijne: perykopę z Księgi Zachariasza (por. Za 14) oraz z Apokalipsy św. Jana (por. Ap 7,9-17), które nawiązują do Święta Namiotów i związanego z nim pielgrzymowania do Jerozolimy. Poprzez swoją specyfikę nadają one pielgrzymowaniu wymiaru eschatologicznego.

The eschatological dimension of the pilgrimage to the Feast of Tabernacles (Zechariah 14:16ff, Rev 7:9ff): Pilgrimage is inscribed in the tradition of the Chosen People and also Christians. The biblical texts of the Old and New Testaments deal with this theme. Seeing the theme of pilgrimage in the apocalyptic tradition seems particularly interesting. The article presents two biblical texts: the pericope from the Book of Zechariah (Zechariah 14) and the Apocalypse of St. John (Rev 7:9-17), which refer to the Feast of Tabernacles and the pilgrimage to Jerusalem associated with it. Through their specificity, they give the pilgrimage an eschatological dimension.
Adresaci słowa Bożego na podstawie II Soboru Watykańskiego i XII Zwyczajnego Zgromadzenia Ogólnego Synodu Biskupów
Authors: Kasperowicz Paweł
Published: November 2023

Co Duch Święty mówi do Kościoła? Na II Soborze Watykańskim dostrzeżono, że Kościół musi przyjąć słowo Boże w pełni, tj. całe objawienie, bo w nim zawarta jest jego tożsamość, jednak aby należeć do Ludu Bożego, nie wystarczy sama wiedza, potrzeba zażyłości. Wnioski te wysnuto na XII Zwyczajnym Zgromadzeniu Ogólnym Synodu Biskupów, zwracając szczególną uwagę na liturgię słowa Bożego, sakramentalny wymiar tekstów świętych, konieczność pogłębionego ich zgłębiania, wprowadzania słowa w czyn, oraz wskazano sytuacje ludzkie, które szczególnie odpowiadają sytuacjom, w jakich słowo Chrystusa było przepowiadane.

Addressees of the Word of God on the basis of the Second Vatican Council and XII Ordinary General Assemblies of the Synod of Bishops: What does the Holy Spirit say to the Church? At the Second Vatican Council it was noticed that the Church must accept the word of God fully, i.e. the entire revelation, because its identity is contained in it, however, in order to belong to God’s people, knowledge alone is not enough, the need for familiarity is not enough. These conclusions were made at the XII Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, paying special attention to the liturgy of the Word of God, the sacramental dimension of the sacred texts, the need to study them in depth, to put the word into practice, and to indicate human situations that particularly suit the situations in which the word of Christ was preached.

Published: November 2023

Objective: The study aims to examine what gender issues in the novel are learned and how those issues get responses from the students. Method: The data acquisition method in this study is selecting the author's narration, the monolog, and dialog in the novel, showing the gender issues based on bell hooks' perspective on sexist oppression, women's solidarity, and power and asking thirty-five students in the class of their response concerning the issues. Result: The result shows the students will learn that the unnamed female protagonist experiences sexist oppression, obtains women's solidarity from her aunt, exercises her power to resist her husband's cruelty, and compares the issues to the surrounding phenomena. Novelty: Some previous studies have analyzed gender inequality in The Patience Stone, gender pedagogy leading to building higher students' gender awareness by teaching gender through a novel has been rarely concerned. Hence, the study promotes teaching gender through The Patience Stone and another similar novel in higher education to build students' awareness concerning gender issues and invite their critical response towards gender problems in the novel and real life.

Published: November 2023

Objective: Composing and publishing a scientific article needs compound responsibilities, mainly when Indonesian students write it since English is their foreign language. Swales pioneered CARS with three moves, followed by Pho, who mentions moves and steps in a research article using AIMRD, which can be worthy of consideration in composing a scientific article. Method: The moves and steps of undergraduate students’ research articles were analyzed qualitatively, using Pho’s moves and steps as parameters. The data analyzed consists of nine articles on English Education, seven on Applied Linguistics, and six on Applied Literature. Tables of move-analysis were prepared as the research instrument with different codes for classifying and analyzing the articles. Results:  Undergraduate students place and develop moves along with steps effectively, which was inflicted by the thought patterns and the tendency of undergraduate students. Thus, writing research articles developed by undergraduate students could be considered in revising institution guides for composing research articles and reflection in composing research articles for other disciplines. Novelty: Most research on sections of research articles applying a move-based approach have worked with first language studies published in journals and focused on a particular section of the research article, while this study using Pho's moves and steps works with EFL learners, which compose an unpublished complete text of the scientific article. The findings of current research mediate both students' critical thinking and unfathomable argumentation skills by the availability manifestation of the rhetorical move. The main contribution of this research result is meant to alleviate writers, mainly undergraduate students, in generating research articles successfully.
English Language Teaching through Communicative Method: A Qualitative Study of Pre-service Teachers' Perceptions
Authors: Danibao Bernardus Kopong , Tari Maria Jacolina Amping Radja
Published: November 2023

Objective: This study aims to explore pre-service English teachers' perceptions of implementing the Communicative Language Teaching Method (CLT) after being exposed to theoretical and practical pedagogical aspects of CLT through the Teaching English as a Foreign Language Methodology (TEFL 1) course. Method: The present study was a qualitative research as it employed an online survey following the participants' teaching demonstration and reflections as instruments to collect the data. The sample group in the study consisted of 30 EFL male and female pre-service English teachers studying at a private university in a remote area in West Timor-Indonesia. Results: The results indicated that although most participants were highly optimistic about using communicative language teaching methods, they suggested several challenging factors and solutions to promote students' active interaction in CLT classrooms. Novelty: This study attempted to make the TEFL 1 course more relevant for pre-service teachers and promote CLT enactment in English teaching. Ultimately, it is expected that such initiatives encourage pre-service English teachers to implement interactive teaching methods in their future teaching professions.

Arbovirus epidemics (chikungunya, dengue, West Nile fever, yellow fever and zika) are a growing threat in African areas where Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762) and Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1895) are present. The lack of comprehensive sampling of these two vectors limits our understanding of their propagation dynamics in areas at risk of arboviruses. Here, we collected 6,943 observations (both larval and human capture) of Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus between 2020 and 2022. The study was carried out in the Vallee de la Funa, a post-epidemic zone in the city of Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. Our results provide important information for future basic and advanced studies on the ecology and phenology of these vectors, as well as on vector dynamics after a post-epidemic period. The data from this study are published in the public domain as the Darwin Core Archive in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility.
