This study discussed the renewal of leadership models in Al-Qur'an-based pesantren. Leadership in pesantren has a major influence on its development and existence. Ibn Abbas Islamic Boarding School is interesting to study because it is modern managed. This is a case study to examine in depth the developed leadership model. The data were collected through observation, documentation, and interview, and analyzed using the Miles Huberman triangulation model, so that the results were in the form of abstractions showing their novelty. Pesantren Ibnu Abbas Klaten is led by a director who acted as a manager as well as mufti and kyai. The director supervises three educational units; the pesantren, the santri, and the school unit, which each led by a chief. Even though a director (or Kyai) has full leadership rights, the "syuro-participative" leadership model is implemented in regular meetings every week, and the deliberation results showing the participation of each existing institution. This indicated that the highest forum is at the leadership meeting, not unilaterally by the Kyai.

Published: December 2021

According to Regulation No. 53 of 2015 of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, a high risk of HBV infection in health workers is a problem that requires attention, and vaccination knowledge is critical to reducing these risk factors. Furthermore, because some people do not produce a sufficient antibody-forming (anti-HBs) response to HBsAg, testing for evidence of protective immunity against hepatitis B vaccination is required (Hepatitis B Surface Antigen). The purpose of the study was to determine the mapping of the characteristics of anti-HBs antibodies response after hepatitis B vaccination in health workers in terms of age, gender, ethnicity, smoking habits, obesity, vaccination frequency, last time of vaccination. Sixty vaccinated health workers were used to creating the research sample. Anti-HBs levels/titers in serum were measured using the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) method, and a questionnaire was used to compile the data for this study. Age, gender, smoking, obesity, and vaccination dose were all used to map the outcomes of the anti-HBs antibody immune response study. Anti-HBs antibody response in health workers was graded as poor in 36 people (60%) and strong in 24 (40%). Regarding ethnic origin, lifestyle, obesity, and vaccination dose (frequency), there was no significant link between post-vaccination anti-HBs antibody response in health workers. In terms of age and gender, there is a strong association between post-vaccination anti-HBs antibody responses in health workers. Low antibody titers should be revaccinated to enhance anti-HBs titers, and health workers who smoke should quit because it reduces the levels of anti-HBs titers produced clinically.

Published: December 2021

Magnetic Resonance Cholangiography (MRCP) examines the pancreas and ductus billiaris using magnetic resonance imaging with a negative contrast media administered orally. Oolong tea is possible to be an alternative of an oral negative contrast media due to its manganese contained. This study will elaborate on the best method of oolong tea extraction to get the best mangenese substance and its capability to suppress inevitable organs. This is an experimental study with various methods of extraction, which are the maceration method with ethanol solvent, maceration method with aquadest solvent, and boiling method. The whole process includes collecting and preparing plant materials, sample identification, sample processing, extraction, and extract characterization. The manganese level is checked with Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) followed by scanning the extracted oolong tea in bottles and MRCP scanning examination. Results showed that manganese level with three different extraction methods is maceration method with ethanol is 1.23 mg/dl, maceration method with aquadest solvent is 0.82 mg/dl, and the extraction using the boiling method with aquadest solvent 0.94 mg/dl, and manufactured tea 1.40 mg/dl respectively. Scanning the extracted oolong tea in bottles showed that the best suppression is on the bottle, which contains extracted oolong tea using a boiling method with aquadest solvent. The image enhancement on MRCP showed that biliary trees are all enhanced using all the extraction methods; however, the best suppression for the stomach and duodenum is using the boiling method with aquadest solvent. The best choice for oolong tea extraction to get the best image to enhance and maximum suppression for disturbing organs is the boiling method with aquadest solvent. For the oolong tea, oral media contrast is to consider the level of manganese substance and its capability to suppress the disturbing organ to provide the best image for MRCP

Jerzy Niezbrzycki (Ryszard Wraga) and the Polish Intelligence in the Soviet Union in the 1930s
Authors: Kuromiya Hiroaki
Published: December 2021

Jerzy Niezbrzycki (born 1901/2 – died 1968) was a key figure in Polish intelligence during the Polish Second Republic. After WWII, he lived abroad where he engaged widely in the analysis of Soviet affairs and published under the pen name of Ryszard Wraga. His unfinished memoirs written in English not only illuminate the battle between Polish and Soviet intelligence before WWII but also suggest that even the most experienced foreign intelligence operatives like Niezbrzycki were misled by elaborate Soviet disinformation.
Defence mechanisms as predictors of trust and positive relationships in top management teams
Authors: Glińska-Neweś Aldona , Barabasz Adela , Escher Iwona , Fu Yusheng
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND: Top managers are heavily exposed to strong negative emotions due to the difficult decisive situations that they experience and the persistent pressure of time and uncertainty. At the same time, the relationships they build within TMTs shape their decisions, experiences and reactions at work. The paper refers to defence mechanisms as relatively persistent means of individual response to unwanted emotions and affects. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the paper is to examine the defence mechanisms of TMT members as antecedents of perceived trustworthiness of other team members and positive relationships in the team. METHODS: The empirical study was conducted in a sample of 123 members of top management teams representing furniture industry companies in Poland. RESULTS: The results show that defence mechanisms determine TMT members’ perception of trustworthiness of other team-members and that perceived trustworthiness mediates the relation between the defence mechanisms of TMT members and their evaluation of relationships within a team. CONCLUSIONS: The study explains links between individual characteristics of TMT members and processes within the teams. It contributes to upper echelon theory and literature on trust and positive relationships at work. It also contributes to the line of research introducing unconscious processes and emotions to management studies.

A two-sided gaming model for large-scale stable matching in sharing economy based on the probabilistic linguistic term sets
Authors: Tong Huagang , Zhu Jianjun , Yi Yang
Published: December 2021

Sharing economy is significant for economic development, stable matching plays an essential role in sharing economy, but the large-scale sharing platform increases the difficulties of stable matching. We proposed a two-sided gaming model based on probabilistic linguistic term sets to address the problem. Firstly, in previous studies, the mutual assessment is used to obtain the preferences of individuals in large-scale matching, but the procedure is time-consuming. We use probabilistic linguistic term sets to present the preferences based on the historical data instead of time-consuming assessment. Then, to generate the satisfaction based on the preference, we regard the similarity between the expected preferences and actual preferences as the satisfaction. Considering the distribution features of probabilistic linguistic term sets, we design a shape-distance-based method to measure the similarity. After that, the previous studies aimed to maximize the total satisfaction in matching, but the individuals’ requirements are neglected, resulting in a weak matching result. We establish the two-sided gaming matching model from the perspectives of individuals based on the game theory. Meanwhile, we also study the competition from other platforms. Meanwhile, considering the importance of the high total satisfaction, we balance the total satisfaction and the personal requirements in the matching model. We also prove the solution of the matching model is the equilibrium solution. Finally, to verify the study, we use the experiment to illustrate the advantages of our study.
Security enhanced optimal trajectory selection for mobile sink using reinforcement learning
Authors: Abdur Rahman Usama , Jayakumar C.
Published: December 2021

Wireless visual sensor networks (WVSNs) have emerged as a strategic inter disciplinary category of WSN with its visual sensor based intelligence that has garnered considerable attention. The growing demand for energy efficient and maximized life time networks in highly critical applications like surveillance, military and medicine has opened up more prospects as well as challenges in the deployment of WVSNs. Multi-hop communication in WVSN results in overloading of intermediate sensor nodes due to its dual function in the network which results in hotspot effect. This can be mitigated with the help of mobile sinks and rendezvous points based route design. But mobile sinks has to visit every cluster head to gather data which results in longer traversal path and higher latency and power consumption related issues if not addressed properly will impact the performance of the network. Our objective is to analyze and determine the optimal trajectory for mobile sink node traversal with the help of a high quality transmission architecture integrated with reinforcement learning and isolation forest based anomaly detection to propose an energy efficient meta-heuristic approach to enhance the performance of network by reducing the latency and securing the network against possible attacks.

Published: December 2021

Vismodegib (Vis) is an anticancer drug, in which its electronic and structural features were examined in this work. To this aim, the chlorine atoms of original Vis model were substituted by other fluorine, bromine, and iodine halogen atoms yielding F-Vis, Br-Vis, and I-Vis in addition to the original Cl-Vis model. The models were optimized by performing quantum chemical calculations and their interactions with the smoothened (SMO) target were examined by performing molecular docking simulations. The results indicated that the stabilized structures of halogenated Vis models were achievable and their features indicated the dominant role of halogen atoms for their participation in interactions with other substances. Based on the obtained results, Br-Vis model was seen suitable for participating in interaction with the SMO target even better than the original Vis model. The hypothesis of this work was affirmed by employing the in silico approach for analyzing the features of singular ligands and for evaluating their biological functions.

Shielding glass materials doped with heavy metal oxides show an improvement in the effectiveness of the materials used in radiation shielding. In this work, the photon shielding parameters of six tellurite glass systems doped with several metal oxides namely, 70TeO2-10P2O5- 10ZnO- 5.0PbF2- 0.0024Er2O3- 5.0X (where X represents different doped metail oxides namely, Nb2O5, TiO2, WO3, PbO, Bi2O3, and CdO) in a broad energy spectrum, ranging from 0.015 MeV to 15 MeV, were evaluated. The shielding parameters were calculated using the online software Phy-X/PSD. The highest linear and mass attenuation coefficients recorded were obtaibed from the samples containing bismuth oxide (Bi2O3), and the lowest half-value layer and mean free path were recorded among the other samples. Furthermore, the shielding effectiveness of tellurite glass systems was compared with commercial shielding materials (RS-369, RS-253 G18, chromite, ferrite, magnetite, and barite). The optical parameters viz, dispersion energy, single-oscillator energy, molar refraction, electronic polarizability, non-linear refractive indices, n2, and third-order susceptibility were measured and reported at a different wavelength. Bi2O3 has a strong effect on enhancing the optical and shielding properties. The outcome of this study suggests the potential of using the proposed glass samples as radiation-shielding materials for a broad range of imaging and therapeutic applications.

Published: December 2021

the prevalence of kidney stone disease (KSD) and osteoporosis (OP) increases every year. In the prevention of osteoporosis, it is important to consume a sufficient amount of calcium-rich foods in the daily diet, as well as the use of calcium. One of the important reasons for the insufficient use of calcium-containing products and medicines is the anxiety not only of patients, but, very importantly, of doctors as much as possible. This has serious justification, as nephrolithiasis occurs in approximately 5% of the population, and the risk of developing kidney stones during life is 8-10%. It is believed that secondary hyperparathyroidism, which is caused by hypocalcemia due to insufficient consumption of calcium-containing products and impaired renal function, leads to increased bone resorption, formation of kidney stone disease. It is important to consider that against the background of hypertensive, atherosclerotic kidney disease, tubulo-interstitial lesions of the kidneys with decreasing glomerular filtration rate decreases the synthesis of 1α-hydroxylase - an enzyme by which 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25 (OH) active D3, calcium) form of vitamin D3–1.25 dihydroxycholecalciferol (1.25 (OH) 2D3, calcitriol - D-hormone) and secondary hyperparathyroidism develops. In this case, the purpose of correction along with the treatment of urolithiasis (spa treatment, given the attendance of the presence of KSD, to carry out the distance lithotripsy), intake of active metabolites of vitamin D (should be started with low doses, independent of the initial PTH concentration, and then titrated based on the PTH response) conducting X-ray densitometry.

More than 80% of drugs for vaginal use are registered as solid dosage forms, and almost half of them as suppositories or pessaries. Almost 65% of medicines are foreign, and 3/4 of them contain only active substance, more than 50% are prescription only medicines. For 44,4% drugs for vaginal use the storage period of 3 years (36 months) is determined. Detailing analysis of medicines with probiotic activity has shown assortment deficiency (only 3 brand names are registered). The liquidity coefficients calculations for this brand manes don’t allow to characterize these drugs as economically affordable. The obtained results of this study inform about the domestic drugs for vaginal use with probiotic activity development relevance, especially in pessaries as dominant dosage form on the pharmaceutical market.

bronchial asthma is an important medical and social issue directly affects the health of patients, their quality of life, and the direct and indirect economic costs associated with the disease are quite significant. Due to the pandemic caused by a new strain of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, international and domestic regulations documents have updated the management of patients with asthma. In particular, there have been recommendations for remote visits to assess the patients’ complaints however physical analysis and objective examination are not available during such consultations. It can lead to errors in diagnostic of asthma exacerbation severity and treatment tactic for prescription the reliever therapy. So it is actuality to find out additional indicators to improve the diagnostic and prediction of the severity of the disease exacerbations. Given the urgency of the problem, the aim of the study is to evaluate the clinical and paraclinical parameters in children with virus-induced bronchial asthma exacerbation to predict the severity of the asthma attack and personify the management of patients. Have been examined 47 patients who were hospitalized for disease exacerbation. The severity of a asthma attack was considered a group-forming feature. Statistical analysis was performed using parametric and nonparametric calculation methods, methods of clinical epidemiology and biostatistics. The results of the study give grounds to predict a more severe asthma attack among urban residents who have a phenotype of late-onset asthma. An additional, anamnestic risk of more severe exacerbation of the disease is body weight at birth, which exceeds 3500 g. Among spirometric indicators the highest prognostic criterion for severe bronchial asthma exacerbation was the general index of bronchodilation, which was 15% and above, as well as the index of bronchodilation at the level of the distal airways with a cut-off point of 30% and above. In the presence of the above risk factors for severe asthma attack on the background of confirmed infection with the coronavirus strain SARS-CoV-2 the patient needs hospitalization, antiviral treatment, increasing the dose of inhaled steroids and additional β2-agonists. When predicting a mild or moderate asthma attack provoked by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, it is advisable to continue remote monitoring by an allergist and the management of exacerbation includes a temporary increase daily dose of inhaled glucocorticosteroids and additional using of β2-agonists. It is recommended to avoid taking nebulizers and use individual metered powder or aerosol inhalers in cases of inpatient treatment.

The Miño River is a good example of bedrock rivers, where sediment geochemistry is scarcely studied. Its urban reach when passing through the city of Ourense gathers some characteristics that provide interest to its sediments, like scarcity of fine sediments accumulation and the impact of several human activities. Sediments trapped by potholes and other rock cavities were considered. In order to evaluate society-nature interactions through sediment composition it is critical to determine the compositional background (in absence of human alterations), particularly when working with trace elements. This work presents an exploratory assay to determine background in sediments from bedrock rivers by using two uncommon elements, uranium (U) and thorium (Th). To determine their background different statistical techniques were applied in order to set the background composition value and calculate possible enrichments. Background was calculated by simple least squares lineal regression by using Al as independent variable (reference element) resulting in 8.7 mgU kg-1 and 5.6 mgTh kg-1. Enrichments were found in some particular samples and can be attributed to intrinsic microenvironment complexities inside rock cavities.

The Institute for the Conservation of Nature and Forests (ICNF) has recently carried out work on planning and management of recreational fishing in the area of ​​the Mouro River drainage basin — a mountain watercourse in the North of Portugal (River Hydrographic Basin). Minho) which is born near the place of Lagarto (Lamas de Mouro, Melgaço), in the Peneda-Gerês National Park (PNPG). The model adopted was initially implemented (2008) to manage that activity in the Olo river basin (BH of the Douro river), and this methodology also served as a foundation for creating in 2020 in the Northeast region of Trás-os-Montes (Mente rivers, Rabaçal and Tuela – Vinhais and Bragança) plus three recreational fishing areas. In this context, 13 sampling stations were set up (12 in the Mouro river and 1 in the Sucrasto river), considered representative of a large part of the habitats that make up this study area, where actions were carried out to monitor the ichthyofauna (electrical fishing) and hydromorphological characterization of habitats (River Habitat Survey, RHS). The monitoring of benthic macroinvertebrates was an additional action, recently introduced in this type of work, aimed at improving the biological assessment of water quality and aquatic ecosystems and which is serving as a basis for the preparation of a Master's Thesis. With this study, data was analyzed concerning age, growth, physical condition of the monitored specimens, as well as their relationship with the different types of habitats where they were captured. To detect spatial distribution patterns underlying biotic (species/abundance and species/ages) and environmental data, multivariate methods can be used. As a result of this work, the Ludic Fishing Zone (ZPL) of the Mouro River (and its tributaries) will be created, with the aim of promoting recreational and sport fishing based on more conservationist principles. With this initiative, ICNF intends to guarantee greater protection and sustainability of endogenous aquaculture resources, with particular emphasis on the case of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). This salmonid annually elects a significant part of these continental waters to complete its reproductive phase. However, other studies, in this context, should be developed to better understand the ecology of the species in a country that coincides with its southern limit of distribution in Europe.

Although species identification is a central component on Biological Sciences, misidentifications are quite common generating error cascade effects on other environmental studies, resulting on erroneous population estimates, status, trends, and distribution data. One of the main causes of these errors occurs when dealing with damaged material, immature specimens, sexual dimorphism, intraspecific variation, and species with poor or outdated descriptions. Furthermore, usually there is no material retained as voucher of the specimens studied in scientific collections, hindering confirmation the identified species, in morphoanatomical and genetic scope. Even with this reliance on species identification taxonomy has been in decline for many years. In this study, we present the case study of the crustaceans identified for the Minho River estuary (NW Iberian Peninsula), using a taxonomic approach comparing these results with the biological surveys obtained through various ecology studies performed for 4 decades. A total of 64 species of crustaceans were identified within this study, in which 44 were new records for the Minho River estuary, compared to the 25 species identified on the biological surveys analyzed. Being one of the first studies of this nature in the Minho River, the main objective will be to provide taxonomic support in future projects in this area, contributing to the knowledge of the fauna of Portugal and the Iberian Peninsula.

"Local" consumption of art projects and motivation of the "local" consumers
The purpose of the article. Research and analysis of consumer motivations of fine arts products, based on algorithms of marketing technologies. The research methodology is to apply comparative, empirical, and theoretical methods. This methodological approach allows us to analyze the motivations of consumers of works of art who prefer to be fascinated by fine arts through the Internet, social networks, television programs, followed by the use of research results in marketing processes to promote works of art in the art market. The scientific novelty lies in the expansion of ideas about the motivation of consumers of the market of fine arts on the Internet, television programs, and in the study of further marketing processes in the art market. The article analyzes the algorithms of marketing technologies in the analysis of motivations for "home" consumption of products of the fine arts market. The article finds that in art marketing it is relevant and necessary to study the behavior of Internet consumers of works of art, analyzing the situation of "home" consumption of works of art. In art marketing, technologies for studying and analyzing the motivations of Internet consumers of works of art in promoting an art product on the art market are gradually being developed. Analysis of the motivations of Internet consumers of art markets makes it possible to more objectively segment the participants of market relations. Conclusions. The article identifies and analyzes the model of "home" online consumption of fine arts, as well as art projects, and, accordingly, describes the segment of online consumers of works of art at home using television, the Internet, and other means of communication. It is also proved that the behavior of the "home" consumer in art marketing is determined by three mandatory components: Individual - Product - Situation. It is on these components that the types of motivation are formed, on which the model of consumption and consumer behavior is built. Thus, we have studied Individuals who consume works of art and art projects, which in turn are Products presented in the form of printed or electronic images, and we have studied Situations of "home" consumption of works of art and art projects.
Keywords: art market, marketing research, relationships of marketing, motivation of consumers of works of art, art projects, "home" consumption of works of art, behavior of consumers of art market.
