Published: December 2023

Establishing real productivity of employees in companies in non-standard business conditions such as COVID-19, but also in other unplanned (extraordinary) conditions in which a large number of heterogeneous companies can be found, implies the application of active adaptation by leading management bodies in companies. For this reason, companies are devising numerous activities with which they will respond to newly created business conditions. The situation of adjustment came to the fore in the conditions of the crisis caused by COVID-19. This meant the creation of a special "business continuity plan" for a specific company, which included the implementation of ongoing and strategic decisions that were essentially the company's response to the newly created situation. These activities made it possible to adopt the following measures in response to the situation: 1. Carrying out a realistic assessment of the level of risk and vulnerability of the company in the period of operation of one year. 2. Developing a realistically usable Risk Management System, based on top management's assessment. 3. Developing a realistically usable System of reserve activities, which will be used to correct management in companies. For these activities, the need to engage middle management is essential in order to optimize the overall management of companies in conditions of non-standard business operations. 4. Developing a realistic view of the company's vulnerability and its employees, the processes that are necessary to maintain a normal structure in the company in the conditions of non-standard operations, ensuring social protection for employees' family members, realizing the company's real income, the company's response to reducing the availability of resources and others of a usable perceived risk management system, and according to top management's assessment. One of the possible parameters that must be introduced into the regular operations of the company within non-standard operations is the analysis of the productivity of the employees' work and finding a model of the achieved planned level of productivity that is acceptable for the company.

Published: December 2023

Planning is one of the process functions of management. Observed in the context of military organizational systems (armed forces), planning consists of three phases: anticipation, decision-making and development of plans/orders. The specifics of planning in military organizational systems are reflected in the characteristics of the environment in which military organizational systems exist, and which are visualized through the dimensions of the operational environment at the strategic and operational level, or through elements of the operational framework at the tactical level. Military organizational systems have developed special logical-thinking algorithms (tools, instruments) that simplify planning at all levels of the organization. Planning in military organizational systems is done using standard operational and troop leading procedures. The focus of the work is on the tactical level of the organization, ie the troop leading procedures are explained separately. In order to get a complete picture of the importance of planning in military organizational systems for the paper, a research was conducted with the aim of answering the research question: Is there a similarity in troop leading procedures of military organizational systems of the Republic of Serbia, NATO countries and the Russian Federation?

Published: December 2023

Fiscal policy is a powerful instrument for stabilizing the national economy, and with its help the level and structure of taxes, expenditures and debt management are controlled. Fiscal policy management affects aggregate demand, the distribution of wealth, and the economy's ability to produce goods and services. It represents a tool of macroeconomic policy, and in this paper the authors will particularly deal with the impact of fiscal policy on certain macroeconomic components: public debt, balance of payments, but also on the attraction of foreign direct investments and competitiveness. States must conduct a responsible fiscal policy in accordance with their capabilities in order to reduce poverty and social inequalities, and at the same time ensure economic growth. Fiscal sustainability is a complex issue, especially in periods of crisis, and therefore it is necessary to make decisions that will have positive effects on economic development in the long term.

Published: December 2023

Paul was one of the biblical figures who had a leadership pattern that was widely praised for being effective and able to lead the congregation he served well. However, there are still many Christians who doubt him. In the end, the Apostle Paul's leadership was interpreted as materialistic leadership even though the Bible itself clearly states that Paul was an exemplary leader both physically and spiritually, but still they did not recognize Paul's leadership. Therefore, it is very important to have an understanding of Paul's exemplary leadership, especially when experiencing moments in leading the churches served. The purpose of this study is to answer and discuss Paul's exemplary leadership and its implications for today's leaders. The research method used in writing this article is a qualitative method. The findings of this article show that leadership is an inseparable part of human life, where leadership plays an important role for the continuity and journey of human life to get closer and there is an opportunity to glorify God, then become an active missionary in relying on God. Paul's exemplary leadership can be seen in any situation he still relies on God and dares to preach the gospel and strengthen and empower others to do what he did.AbstrakPaulus adalah salah satu tokoh Alkitab yang memiliki pola kepemimpinan yang banyak dipuji karena ampuh dan mampu memimpin jemaat yang dilayaninya dengan baik.

Authors: Sherpa Pema , Bhattarai Bikash , Rana Manju
Published: December 2023

Nardostachys grandiflora is a perennial rhizomatous herb found in the alpine part of Sikkim and is known for its medicinal and aromatic properties. Collected for its rhizome, N. grandiflora is used to cure conditions including neurosis, insomnia, convulsions, epilepsy and heart palpitations. It is also a source of fragrant oil, which is used in high-quality fragrances, incense and as a flavoring ingredient. Popular in local communities, this species is in danger of extinct, due to its over-collection, habitat degradation, and climatic changes. Due to its isolated habitat and small population, research on this species is very low and infrequent. Thus, an attempt was made to understand the population distribution of N. grandiflora in the alpine regions of Sikkim. The study reveals low population densities in all of the sites of observation. However, two studied sites in the North districts and one site in the East district showed very low population densities and importance value index of N. grandiflora. Therefore, urgent action and conservation measures must be taken to protect the highly endangered Himalayan plant.

Authors: Jyani Kanchan , Singh G P , Banshiwal Pritika Jay , Sharma Ritika
Published: December 2023

The idea of composite materials is introduced in this article, with an emphasis on composites made of natural fibres and polymers. Composites are made up of various elements or phases that significantly affect the material's general characteristics. The matrix, the continuous phase, is typically made up of ceramics, metals, or polymers. Natural fibres that provide strength and stiffness make up the reinforcement component in natural fibre-reinforced composites. These composite materials have uses in the consumer goods, packaging, sports, and construction industries, in addition to providing environmental advantages. The paper presents a review of the literature on the creation and characterization of composites reinforced by natural fibres. To improve the mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties of the composites, numerous studies have looked at various kinds of natural fibres, surface modifications, coupling agents, and processing methods. The benefits and drawbacks of using natural fibres in composites are discussed in the article. It gives a general overview of how natural fibre-reinforced polymer composites have evolved and what uses they might have in the future. The article highlights current research initiatives and difficulties in enhancing the performance and compatibility of natural fibres with polymer matrices. The research advances the use of natural fibre composites as environmentally friendly substitutes across a range of industries by fostering a better understanding of their advantages and disadvantages.
Josephson current across a Double Quantum Dot Josephson junction in T-Shape Configuration
Authors: Kumar Bhupendra , Sachin Verma  , Ajay
Published: December 2023

By implementing the Keldysh non-equilibrium Green's function equation of motion approach, Josephson current has been examined across a T-shaped uncorrelated double quantum dot Josephson junction. The behavior of the Josephson current as a function of the main quantum dot energy level for varied interdot tunneling and different dot-lead coupling strengths is examined. With this configuration, we illustrate that the side-attached quantum dot offers an alternative route for electron transmission, which modifies the Josephson current by varying interdot tunneling. Further, we also investigate how the dot-lead coupling strengths affect the Josephson current.

Published: December 2023

The development of a chemiresistive sensor that uses needle-flower-like ZnO to effectively detect formaldehyde vapors is highlighted in the paper. The hydrothermal process at low temperature was used to prepare the sensing material. The morphological and structural characteristics of the synthesized material were assessed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Using a micropipette, the sensing material was transferred to the surface of the gold-based interdigitated electrodes to fabricate the device. The fabricated sensor was found to be more selective and sensitive to formaldehyde in the sensing study. The results showed an approximate response of 8 at 250 °C and 75 ppm formaldehyde. The lowest detection limit of the sensor was calculated as 480 ppb. The sensor has a great potential to monitor formaldehyde vapors in the indoor environment.

Authors: Sharma Yojana , ANAND VIKAS , Heera Pawan
Published: December 2023

Abstract.In this study, we have investigated the electronic and magnetic properties of Cobalt doped zinc oxide (ZnO) bulk materials using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The substitution of Co atoms into the ZnO lattice is systematically explored to understand its impact on the electronic band structure, magnetic moments and stability of the material. It is observed that Co doping introduces localized magnetic moments of 3.073 μB associated with Co atoms. The electronic band structure exhibits the semi-metallic nature after the Co doping with a majority spin (↑) and a minority spin (↓) magnetic configuration hybridization between Co 3d and 2p orbitals of O, indicating the potential for spin-polarized transport in Co-doped ZnO. We have also analyzed the formation energies to assess the thermodynamic stability. It is observed that the binding energy per atom slightly decreased to -3.563 eV, indicating stable Co incorporation. From the obtained results it can be concluded that, through controlled doping strategies the electronic and magnetic properties in ZnO-based materials can be altered for desired properties.

Authors: Kumar Praveen
Published: December 2023

Metal oxide nanoparticles have gained a lot of popularity in recent years because of their broad band gap and several practical uses in solar, catalysis, sensors, actuators, and other domains. This work investigates the effects of Gd ion substitution on structural and electrical transportation properties in co-precipitated ZnO nanostructures. The prepared samples were characterized using XRD, field emission scanning electron microscopy, FT-IR (infrared spectroscopy), PL (photoluminescence), and complex impedance spectroscopy. The XRD data with crystallite size of 29 nm revealed the wurtzite hexagonal structure in space group P63mc. The morphology micrograph shows where the samples have accumulated. For two hours, a photocatalytic reactor was used to measure the photocatalytic degradation of Gd-doped ZnO nanoparticles. Degradation efficiencies (ϳ%) for the ZnO sample doped with Gd are 81 percent.
Unique Approach to Exactly Solve Optical Pulses in Nonlinear Meta-materials
Authors: Nanda Dr. Lipsa
Published: December 2023

Ultra-short pulse propagation in nonlinear NRM has been investigated where a wide class of solutions for bright and dark solitons has been analyzed for distinct parameter ranges. Here the pulse propagation in nonlinear meta-material has been analytically by solving the nonlinear Schrödinger's equation (NLSE) in composite media expressing frequency dispersion in the dielectric permittivity (ε) and the magnetic permeability (µ). The solutions are exactly shown to be of trigonometric & localized types. The analytical and simulation based result has been utilized to study the intensity variation in case of a nonlinear meta-material which typically behaves as a negative refractive medium (NRM), for which both ε and µ exhibit frequency dispersion and are negative in nature. The peak of the pulse-intensity curve slowly decreases as the frequency increases towards the magnetic plasma frequency. The stability of the solitonic solutions has also been established.

The infrared and Raman spectra were simulated and assigned for C60Cl6 molecule. Carbon – chlorine stretching vibrations are found to be in the range 150-900 cm-1 and the chains are strongly affected with the radial vibrations of the carbon sphere. The optimized geometries at ground-state of the molecules are calculated without any geometrical restriction, except those enforced by symmetry and the molecules are found to be minima on their respective potential energy surfaces. The optimized structures have been subjected to Gauge including atomic orbital (GIAO), the chemical shielding tensors using B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) in solvent phase with the aim of calculating 13C chemical shift values with respect to trimethylsilane (TMS) as computational reference. Molecular acuteness and stability were investigated using the Frontier molecular orbitals (FMO) analysis. The molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) mapping provides a valuable information regarding the net electrostatic effect produced by net charge distribution of the molecule. Chlorofullerenes are considered to be promising compounds for the investigation of biological action which show pronounced anti-HIV action and low toxicity. Hence, these results set goal in scheming the biocompatible molecules which will be useful in the field of carbon nano medicine and drug delivery application.

Digital Storytelling as Sociotechnical Imaginary: The performative power of journalistic innovation discourse
Authors: Harbers Frank
Published: December 2023

This article zooms in on the sociotechnical imaginaries within the discourse on digital storytelling as journalistic innovation in the Netherlands. It analyzes how digital storytelling is discussed since 2015 on the online platforms of the Dutch Journalism Fund and the Dutch Association of Journalists, two central intermediary organizations within the Dutch journalistic landscape that play a vital role in the debate about journalistic innovation and journalism’s future. My analysis shows that this discourse provides a rather one-dimensional and uniform sociotechnical imaginary that presents the future as one in which digital-savvy news consumers can only be engaged through a more captivating way of reporting, allowing for more interactivity and forms of storytelling that draws them into the story on an experiential and emotional level. The techno-centric focus reinforces the already prevalent understanding of journalistic innovation as primarily a matter of mastering and exploiting the digital affordances of new technological tools and platforms without questioning or problematizing how this impacts journalism’s professional ethics and subsequently its cultural authority.
Geomorphological observations at Kangerdlugssuaq, East Greenland
Authors: Brooks Charles Kent
Published: December 2023

The Kangerdlugssuaq area is mainly comprised of two contrasting rock groups: on the one hand the easily-eroded lavas and sediments of late Mesozoic to early Tertiary age and on the other the highly resistant Precambrian gneisses. Intermediate between these two types in terms of behaviour with respect to erosion are the Tertiary plutonic complexes and the basaltic areas along the coast which have been intruded by intense dyke swarms.

In the late Mesozoic the area was a peneplain, and low relief apparently persisted throughout the volcanic episode as there is good evidence that the lava plateau subsided during its formation. During this period ocean-floor spreading gave rise to the embryonic Danmark Stræde. Shortly after the volcanic episode the Kangerdlugssuaq area became the centre of a massive domal upwarping which has been a dominant feature of the land-forms up to the present day. The original surface of the dome has been reconstructed on the basis of topographic and geological evidence to show that it was elliptical in form with a major axis of at least 300 km in length and a height above present sea-level of about 6.5 km. However, subsequent isostatic effects are not considered in deriving these figures. The updoming is estimated to have occurred about 50 m.y. ago.

Several kilometres thickness of sediments and lavas were eroded off this dome at an early stage exposing the gneissic core, which still stands in alpine peaks up to about 2.7 km altitude in the central part, and dumping ea. 50000 km3 of sediment on the continental shelf. The erosion was eftected by a radial, consequent drainage system, relicts of which can still be found. Kangerdlugssuaq itself may owe its origin to a tectonic line of weakness formed in response to doming, but there are also good arguments for its being purely erosional. The erosion of the dome was probably fluviatile but all trace of this stage has been obliterated by the subsequent glaciation. In the period between the Eocene and the early Miocene, possibly around 35 m.y. ago, the entire area underwent epeirogenic uplift raising the undeformed parts of the original lava plateau to around 2.5 km above sea-level. At present this plateau is undergoing dissection from the seaward side, but considerable areas are still preserved under thin, horizontal ice-caps.

A brief description of the various types of glaciers, an impermanent, ice-dammed lake and the areas of ice-free land is given. In the Pleistocene, the Kangerdlugssuaq glacier was considerably thicker than at the present time and extended far out over the shelf, excavating a deep channel here. Finally some observations on the coastlines are presented.

Authors: Rucklidge John C. , Brooks Charles K. , Nielsen Troels F. D.
Published: December 2023

Dolerite and lamprophyre dikes from Tugtilik in the southern part of the onshore exposure of the East Greenland coastal dike swarm are described. The dolerites, which are earlier, are similar to other tholeiites from the dike swarm and the plateau basalts and also to many Icelandic tholeiites. Transitional varieties have been identified from the Angmagssalik district. The lamprophyres have a nephelinitic composition and are rich in phenocrysts and xenocrysts. In one case, abundant low pressure inclusions occur. Rocks identical to these lamprophyres have not previously been described from Greenland but are well known, for instance, in the African Rift.

The kimberlites are composed of macrocysts of olivine, phlogopite, rare ilmenite and garnet in a matrix of olivine, phlogopite, diopside, perovskite, spinel, serpentine, carbonate and apatite. They can mostly be classified as clinopyroxene-phlogopite hypabyssal kimberlites. Mantle-derived inclusions are found in some of the dykes and include lherzolites, wehrlites, harzburgites and, most commonly, dunites. Both coarse and porphyroclastic inclusions occur. Garnet-granulites and eclogites, although rare, are present.
The lamproites have variable mineral assemblages and textures but the main constituents are phenocrysts of pseudoleucite, olivine, phlogopite and clinopyroxene set in a groundmass of phlogopite, potassic richterite, diopside, pseudoleucite and potassium feldspar. The mineralogy of these dykes is a reflection of unusual ultrapotassic, magnesian whole-rock compositions.
Problems of administrative and legal regulation of emergency migration in Russia
Authors: Petrovskaya Miroslava Ivanovna
Published: December 2023

The relevance of the study is due to the unprecedented increase in the flow of forced migrants in Russia, which creates an increased burden on the social and law enforcement systems of the state, requires the mobilization of significant resources to successfully solve the problems and optimize existing public administration schemes, the formation of a qualitatively new system of administrative and legal regulation of forced migration. The methodology of the work is determined by the specifics of the issues under consideration. The work used methods of analysis, synthesis, statistical method, deduction and induction, formal legal analysis. The main conclusions of the study are related to the identification of the insufficient level of functional and organizational readiness of the system of public administration of migration for the emergency mass arrival of forced migrants on the territory of Russia, which is expressed in the absence of ready-made administration schemes in the conditions of emergency mass arrival of forced migrants, situational administration based on by-law regulation, lack of effective mechanisms for social adaptation and integration of forced migrants. These circumstances violate the integrity and consistency of public administration in this area and provoke desynchronization of public administration due to the lack of a coordinating body in the field of forced migration. The novelty of the study lies in the consistent analysis of the processes of administration of forced migration in the regimes of normal administration and in the administration regime in conditions of emergency mass arrival of forced migrants to the territory of Russia. The features of situational subordinate legal regulation have been studied and systemic problems in current administrative and legal approaches in the field of forced migration have been identified.

Sound propagation in shallow water is significantly influenced by geoacoustic properties. Estimating these geoacoustic parameters is essential for sound field analysis and sonar performance assessment. As a common practice, the seafloor is often treated as a single-layer or two-layer range-independent geoacoustic model to reduce the number of involved parameters. However, acoustic parameters inverted through these two geoacoustic models are typically limited in their applicability to a specific frequency range, thus posing challenges when applied across a broader frequency range. A range-dependent multi-layer geoacoustic model based on experimental measurements obtained with a sub-bottom profiler is proposed in this study. The inversion scheme combines three inversion methods to estimate geoacoustic parameters, considering the different sensitivities of geoacoustic parameters to different physical parameters within the acoustic field. Firstly, modal dispersion is used to invert the geoacoustic parameters of each layer, with the dispersion curve obtained through warping transform and the Wigner-Ville distribution. After that, both the localization using matched field processing and the dispersion curve fitting demonstrate the effectiveness of the inversion results for each layer, although the peak of the probability distribution of sound speed in the first layer is broader than in others. Secondly, matched field processing is employed to invert the geoacoustic parameters of the first layer. This method is based on the theory that as frequency increases, the depth of sound rays penetrating the seabed decreases, revealing changes in the first layer's sound speed with the seabed depth. Lastly, bottom attenuation coefficients at different frequencies are inverted by the transmission loss (TL), and a fitting relationship between the attenuation coefficient and the frequency is derived. The inversion results obtained by using the range-dependent multi-layer geoacoustic model are compared with results estimated by the single-layer geoacoustic model. The findings indicate that the transmission loss (TL) error from the range-dependent multi-layer geoacoustic model in this study is smaller than that from the single-layer geoacoustic model, especially in the lower frequency band. The range-dependent multi-layer geoacoustic model proves to be suitable for a broader frequency range, providing better precision in explaining various acoustic phenomena.

Intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) are characterized by an unusual phenotype and developmental pathway, yet their specific ligands and functions remain largely unknown. Here by analysis of QFL T cells, a population of CD8
+
T cells critical for monitoring the MHC I antigen processing pathway, we established that unconventional Qa-1
b
-restricted CD8
+
T cells are abundant in intestinal epithelium. We found that QFL T cells showed a Qa-1
b
-dependent unconventional phenotype in the spleen and small intestine of naïve wild-type mice. The splenic QFL T cells showed innate-like functionality exemplified by rapid response to cytokines or antigen, while the gut population was refractory to stimuli. Microbiota was required for the maintenance, but not the initial gut homing of QFL T cells. Moreover, monocolonization with
Pediococcus pentosaceus,
which expresses a peptide that cross-activated QFL T cells, was sufficient to maintain QFL T cells in the intestine. Thus, microbiota is critical for shaping the Qa-1

-restricted IEL landscape.

Os suplementos alimentares são considerados substâncias adicionadas à dieta com objetivo de complementá-la, suprir as necessidades nutricionais de indivíduos ou ser utilizado como recurso ergogênico. No comércio brasileiro existe uma variedade de suplementos esportivos disponíveis. O uso incorreto dessa suplementação proveniente da falta de entendimento dos rótulos pode ocasionar danos à saúde e prejuízos no desempenho físico dos atletas. Assim, é importante entender a legislação vigente. O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar as declarações em rótulos de suplementos esportivos. O estudo é descritivo de abordagem quantitativa. Amostras de suplementos esportivos de diferentes marcas nacionais comercializadas em Fortaleza entre setembro e dezembro de 2018 foram analisadas segundo o capítulo V da RDC nº18, de 27 de abril de 2010. Encontraram-se 83 rótulos de suplementos alimentares esportivos, sendo 40 de proteína, nove de creatina, 15 de suplementos energéticos, seis de substituição parcial de refeições, oito de cafeína e cinco de hidroeletrolíticos. A maioria dos suplementos alimentares esportivos analisados (54,22%) apresentou inadequações em aspectos exigidos em lei referente a frase obrigatória “Este produto não substitui uma alimentação equilibrada e seu consumo deve ser orientado por nutricionista ou médico”. Porém, todas as amostras apresentaram adequação em relação a informação nutricional e lista de ingredientes. Diante disso, faz-se necessário uma fiscalização rigorosa e contínua de suplementos alimentares esportivos com objetivo de fornecer ao consumidor informações claras e precisas com o intuito de evitar o consumo inadequado desses produtos.
