Secondary Green Crime: Bangkok’s PM2.5 Pollution and Policy Corruption
Authors: Ngamkaiwan Chomkate
Published: September 2023

Air pollution has been widely studied as a primary green crime, but its relationship with secondary green crime has not been well investigated in Thailand. This article explores the link between particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) pollution in the Bangkok Metropolitan Area and policy corruption, treating it as a secondary green crime. The study conducted documentary research, in-depth interviews, focus groups and a qualitative content analysis. The findings indicate that certain human activities could subsequently enable air pollution to occur and that corruption between the government and corporations seeking economic gain under favourable policies is a significant contributing factor. Business elites also play a role in environmental policy deadlock. Four sectors (i.e., vehicles and traffic congestion, construction, industrial factories and power plants, and agricultural burning) were identified as sources of PM2.5 pollution related to policy corruption. This suggests that addressing policy corruption is a necessary part of preventing PM2.5 pollution.

Published: September 2023

The Academic Student Success Advising (ASSA) project enacted an integrated academic and pastoral approach to advising using McIntosh’s (2023) fundamental principles of advising. This research conducted at two Australian universities explores how shared principles of advising can provide an underpinning structure to pan-university advising approaches as a mechanism of student development. Forty staff were interviewed, exploring understandings and experiences of advising. Data were analysed through the four key advising themes: inclusive, personalised and integrated, developmental, and student-centred. The findings suggest that staff perceive value in integrated advising approaches that connect students’ academic and pastoral experiences through an ‘advising as teaching lens’ and that link areas of the university to enhance student success. Recommendations highlight the value of investing in staff understandings of advising to enhance student development, the intentional embedding of co-curricular skills, and the continued need to develop systems to track advising outcomes.

The article made an overview of the options for combining the cutting process and plastic deformation, the options for combined tools for holemaking were considered. The relevance of creating a new tool is explained by the difficult conditions in the formation of internal surfaces. When drilling or reaming deep holes, due to the difficulty of supplying cutting fluids, heat is not removed from the cutting zone and the chips go through the heat treatment stage and become a harmful factor for the already machined inner surface. The description of the prefabricated design of the combined reamer is described in detail and a new version is proposed, which combines multifaceted hard alloy plates on the cutting part and deforming balls on the smoothing part. A feature of the proposed design of a new tool for machining holes is the helical arrangement of the cutting and deforming elements of the reamer. The practical significance of the developed tool is confirmed by a patent for a utility model and approbation, the results of which are presented at international scientific and practical conferences

The aim of the study was to determine the optimal heat treatment for cast steel P6M5F3 to ensure an increase in impact strength, under conditions of impact loads (planing cutters), minimize carbide liquation and compare with the impact strength of powder steel P6M5F3-MP. For the study, the issue of quenching P6M5F3 steel by simultaneous tempering was considered in order to select optimal values of impact strength, since the reliability of the tool is provided along with high hardness and high impact strength, especially with intermittent turning. Intensive separation of alloying elements and carbon from the residual austenite during its recrystallization makes it possible to apply the proposed method for the efficient and rational use of high-speed steels operating under conditions of increased dynamic loads, which require increased toughness. An increase in the temperature of the martensitic transformation interval as a result of heating indicates a significant depletion of residual austenite with carbon and alloying components during the holding of samples at these temperatures. The proposed heat treatment of high-speed steel allows, unlike the known methods, to completely avoid the martensitic transformation of high-temperature austenite into lamellar martensite, which causes a noticeable decrease in the strength and viscosity of the steel.

Socially responsible human resource management and organizational sustainability among Bangladeshi pharmaceutical manufacturing organizations: The explanatory link of voluntary green behavior
Authors: Rahman Mostafizur , Wahab Sazali Abdul , Latiff Ahmad Shaharudin Abdul
Published: September 2023

Recent organizational trends give more importance to the social and responsible behavior of organizations to their sustainability. Numerous factors are responsible for prioritizing social responsiveness and pro-environmental or employee-green behavior for organizational sustainability. Nevertheless, no studies have yet considered how voluntary green behavior (VGB) and socially responsible human resource management (SRHRM) influence this perception. Hence, this study determines the explanatory link of VGB along with the impacts of SRHRM on organizational sustainability (environmental [EnS], social [SS], and economic [ES] sustainability). Data was collected from a developing nation context. An explanatory research strategy was used for the present study. To acquire data from 100 Bangladeshi pharmaceutical manufacturing organizations, structured questionnaires were used. For testing the proposed hypotheses of the study, we used partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The outcomes of the analysis reveal that SRHRM has a considerable impact, both positively and significantly, on organizational sustainability (EnS, SS, and ES). Once again, SRHRM has a substantial positive effect on VGB. Furthermore, VGB plays an influential role as a mediator in the relationship between SRHRM and organizational sustainability. The findings have significant implications for pharmaceutical manufacturing organization management in Bangladesh and other Southeast Asian contexts. Based on the findings, pharmaceutical company managers will have a stronger rationale to invest in SRHRM while simultaneously establishing strong ties with employees and CSR-oriented green behavior to accomplish their organizational sustainability objectives. This study contributes to the existing body of research on the sustainability of organizations and the triple bottom line, along with SRHRM and VGB, by providing evidence from a country that is rapidly industrializing and developing. In this work, SRHRM was measured as a whole, even though it has three dimensions. Since the sample consists of Bangladeshi pharmaceutical manufacturing organizations, it is also uncertain whether the results can be generalized.

Artificial neural network modeling of solar photovoltaic panel energy output
Authors: Zeng Wesley
Published: September 2023

Solar panel energy output is an essential parameter for the design and operation of renewable energy systems. Previously, little was known about the precise relationship between the energy outputs of solar panels with various meteorological, radiometric, and weather conditions in the southern California region. Without precise modeling or prediction systems, solar energy can potentially be wasted due to grid energy fluctuation. Thus, it is intended to use an artificial neural network (ANN) to develop solar panel energy output prediction model with a high degree of accuracy. A self-developed feedforward ANN model utilizing the Rectified linear unit (ReLu) activation function was used in the present study. Meteorological, weather, and sun irradiation data collected throughout the last year from a residential location have been used to train the models. The model’s performance was identified based on the minimum mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean square error (RMSE) and maximum linear correlation coefficient (R2). Further, the present self-developed ANN model was consistent with other solar energy experimental results and theoretical analysis. The developed ANN model using the Python programming language achieved a high R2 of more than 85% which ascertains the accuracy and suitability of the model to predict the daily solar energy output in local southern California area. This ANN modeling approach can be extended to many other applications such as SCORE, commercial, and residential building design.
Child Support Agencies as Connectors
Authors: Vogel Lisa K , Hossain Samina
Published: September 2023

For many noncustodial parents (NCPs), limited earnings and complex barriers to work make meeting child support obligations difficult. A limited body of previous research has identified that as child support agencies evolve from a strictly enforcement culture towards a more supportive orientation, some find it beneficial to connect NCPs to supportive services. However, much remains to be learned about how agencies view their role in serving NCPs with employment barriers, their perceptions of service needs and gaps among non-paying obligors, and challenges they face in connecting NCPs to supportive services. This mixed methods study aims to fill this gap, through interviews with and surveys of Wisconsin child support agencies.

Authors: KİRAZ Seda , HELVACI ÇELİK Fatma Gül
Published: September 2023

Objective: Based on the pathophysiological similarities between alcohol use disorder (AUD) and obsessive compulsive spectrum disorders, as well as the close association between traumatic experiences and addiction, the goal of this study was to assess the relationship between obsessive beliefs and childhood traumas in patients with alcohol use disorder by comparing them with the control group.

Material and Method: The data of 60 AUD cases who applied to the Alcohol and Substance Treatment Center (AMATEM) outpatient clinic consecutively and 56 healthy control groups were evaluated. Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 (SCID-5), Obsessive Beliefs Questionnaire (OBS), Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTS), Hamilton Anxiety Inventory (HAM-A), and Hamilton Depression Inventory (HAM-D) were applied to both groups. The Addiction Profile Index, which evaluates the severity of addiction, was applied to the patient group. Data were evaluated with SPPS 22.

Results: Obsessive beliefs, traumatic experiences, depression and anxiety scores were found to be significantly higher in AUD cases than in the control group. No significant relationship was found between traumatic experiences and obsessive beliefs. The most important predictors of obsessive beliefs were found to be anxiety and depression scores.

Conclusion: The current study is valuable because it is the first study to evaluate the relationship between obsessive beliefs and childhood traumas in alcohol use disorder patients. Further analyzes in a larger sample in this area will be helpful in identifying risk factors and creating preventive interventions for AUD, a disorder that is difficult to treat and recurs.

Amaç: COVID-19 nedeniyle serviste izlenen ikincil bakteriyel pnömoni olasılığı olan erişkin hastalarda antibiyotik kullanma sıklığı ve bunun yoğun bakıma nakil durumu ile ilişkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlandı.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Üçüncü basamak bir hastanede 10.03.2020-31.12.2020 tarihleri arasında COVID-19 hastalığı nedeniyle serviste takip edilen 18 yaş ü zeri hastalardan olası ikincil bakteriyel pnömonisi olan hastalar retrospektif olarak incelendi. Pnömoni dışı bakteriyel infeksiyonu olanlar dışlandı. Bu hasta kohortu yoğun bakıma gidiş açısından yatış sü releri boyunca izlendi. Olası bakteriyel pnömoni tanısı için hastanın görüntülemede bakteriyel pnömoni ile uyumlu bulgu olması yanı sıra öksü rü k, balgam, 37°C üzeri vücut sıcaklığı, 10000/μl üzeri lökosit ve/veya, 0,16μg/l üzeri prokalsitonin düzeyinden en az birisinin varlığı arandı.

Bulgular: Dahil etme kriterlerine uyan 724 hastadan pnömoni dışında bir bakteriyel infeksiyon odağı olan 9 hasta dışlanmış ve analizler 715 hasta ü zerinden tamamlanmıştır. Hastalar ortanca 7 (ÇADA=6) gün izlenmiş ve hastaların 462’si (%64,6) antibiyotik alırken, 253’ü (%35,4) almamıştır. Antibiyotik alan hastaların 33’ü (%7,1), almayan hastaların ise 26’sı (%10,3) izlem süresinde yoğun bakıma nakledilmiş olup, antibiyotik alanlarda almayanlara göre yoğun bakıma gitme rölatif riski 0,70 (%95 GA = 0,43 – 1,14)’tir. Lojistik regresyon analizinde yaş, cinsiyet, komorbidite bulunma durumu, ciddi COVID-19 varlığı, favipiravir, azitromisin ve hidroksiklorokin kullanma durumları eş zamanlı kontrol edildiğinde, antibiyotik kullanan hastalarda, kullanmayanlara göre yoğun bakıma nakil dü zeltilmiş risk odds oranı koruyucu olsa da istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmamıştır (0,56; %95GA=0,30-1,30). En çok tercih edilen antibiyotikler sefalosporinler (%42,5), makrolidler (%19,2) ve piperasilin-tazobaktam (%8,5)’dır.

Sonuç: Antibiyotik kullanmanın yoğun bakıma gidişi önleme konusunda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir etkisi bulunmamıştır. Olası tip 2 hata, antimikrobiyal direnç nedeniyle ampirik tedavinin yetersizliği yanı sıra tanı kriterlerinin geçerliliği, uygun antibiyotik seçimi benzeri konuların netleştirilmesi için prospektif kohortlara ihtiyaç vardır.

Objective: The systemic immune inflammation index has been considered a novel prognostic biomarker in several malignant tumors. The aim of the current study was to determine the association between the systemic immune inflammation index and prognosis of patients with Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma.

Material and Method: The study included 101 patients diagnosed diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to determine the optimal cut-off value of the systemic immune inflammation index for predicting survival.

Results: The results of ROC curve analysis showed a cut-off value for the systemic immune inflammation index of 500. No statistically significant difference was determined between the groups with systemic immune inflammation index ≤ 500 and >500 groups in respect of overall-survival and progression-free survival. The mortality risk was determined to be significantly higher in patients with systemic immune inflammation index ≤ 500 (p:0.017). There was no significant relationship between the systemic immune inflammation index values and lactat dehydrogenase, age, R-IPI risk groups,ECOG performance status, and disease stage.

Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrated that there is no association between the systemic immune inflammation index and survival in patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Larger prospective studies are needed to investigate the association between the systemic immune inflammation index and Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma.

Amaç: Bu çalışmada tiroid kanseri türleri ile diabetes mellitus arasındaki ilişkinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: 2016-2018 yılları arasında Hitit Üniversitesi Erol Olçok Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Patoloji bölümünde tanı alan 406 tiroidektomi olgusu retrospektif olarak hastane bilgisayar kayıt sisteminden ve Patoloji kliniği arşivinden tarandı. Bu vakalar içerisinden tiroid kanseri tanısı alanlar belirlendi. Tiroid kanserli olgulardan Diyabetes Mellitus tanılı olanlar hastane bilgi sisteminden tespit edildi. Olgular tanılarına, cinsiyet, yaş, tümör tipi, tümör lokalizasyonu, tümör çapı, lenf nodu metastazı ve uzak organ metastazı açısından sınıflandırıldı. İmmünohistokimyasal HBME1, Galaktin 3 ve Sitokeratin-19 ekspresyonu incelendi.

Bulgular: Tiroid karsinomu tanısı alan 109 olgu vardı. Bu olguların yaş ortalaması 51,1’di. Kadın/erkek oranı 2,9’du. Kanser olguları 4. dekatta en yüksek oranda görülmekteydi. Tiroid papiller karsinom 55 (%50,5), mikrokarsinom 48 (%44,0), folliküler karsinom 3 (%2,8) ve medüller karsinom tanısı alan 3 (%2,8) olgu vardı. Olguların 12’inde (%11,0) vasküler invazyon ve kapsül invazyonu vardı. Tiroid papiller karsinom tanısı alan 2 (%1,8) olguda lenf nodu metastazı vardı. Tiroid kanserli 109 hastanın 14’ünde (%12,8) diyabetes mellitus vardı. Çalışma grubumuzdaki hastaların diyabet oranı ile genel popülasyon diyabet oranı karşılaştırıldığında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık saptanmamıştır (p=0,519).

Sonuç: Çalışmamızda diyabetin tiroid kanseri için bir risk faktörü olmadığı görülmüştür. Diyabetin düşük orandaki birlikteliği nedeniyle, diyabetli hastalarda tiroid bezi kontrolünün yapılmasının gerekliliği ortaya çıkmıştır. Diyabetin tiroid kanseri için bir risk faktörü olduğunu belirtmek için daha çok veriye ihtiyaç vardır.

Objective: Cortical auditory and gustatory centers are considered to interact with each other. Studies have shown that music affects eating behavior. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of the time spent on engaging with music on eating behavior.

Material and Method: This is a randomized cross-sectional study. It included 40 volunteering undergraduates enrolled in the Department of Music, Fine Arts Faculty, Yuzuncu Yil University, Van, Turkey. All participants were administered a questionnaire to assess the time spent engaging with music, the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-40), and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The body mass index (BMI) was calculated for each participant.

Results: Eating behavior disorder (EBD) was detected in 11 (27.5%) participants. The EAT-40 scores established a positive correlation with the total time spent on music per week (Total-T) (r=0.413, p
Strategies Used in EFL Reading Comprehension: The Case Study of Seven Chinese High School Students
Authors: Wang Bo , Leng Xuejiao
Published: September 2023

Reading skill plays an important role in the English education in China especially when English reading is tested on an exam paper. Using a delayed retrospective questionnaire, this paper aims at eliciting EFL reading strategies from seven Chinese high school students. The results show that most of the students are able to adopt cognitive strategies, in their reading progress, such as memorizing, using background knowledge, underlining the key information, and finding clues from the context. However, low-proficiency students tend to use fewer strategies than high-proficiency students due to either limited English competence or a lack of self-confidence. In addition, all of them also adopt testing strategies such as skimming and scanning, but very few have an awareness of meta-cognitive strategy that refers to self-reflection on effective EFL learning method. Pedagogical implications are discussed, and possible suggestions are proposed for this EFL community.

Food access in Kalamazoo, Michigan: A spatial analysis
Authors: Call Natalie , Silber Elizabeth , Girdler E. Binney
Published: September 2023

Healthy and affordable food is a universal human need. In the U.S., food access is often limited in low-income areas as opposed to medium- and high-income areas. To address disparities in the availability of healthy foods, the dispersion of food access points needs to be quantified and docu­mented. Nutritional quality and consistency of availability vary across different types of food access points, including permanent grocery stores, farmers markets, community gardens, food pan­tries, and convenience stores. Accessibility is also determined by the means of transportation avail­able or required to get to food access points (public transit, driving, or walking). In this geographic information systems (GIS)-based analysis, we iden­tify differences in accessibility to distinct types of food access points—reliable, seasonal, and lower quality—between low-income and higher-income tracts in the City of Kalamazoo, Michigan. We found that all full-service grocery stores are acces­sible via bus routes in the City of Kalamazoo; however, 11% of people reside in low-income areas with low access to these grocery stores—beyond the 0.25-mile walkable distance to bus routes. We then asked whether the addition of community gardens, food pantries, and farmers markets, on the “plus” side, or convenience and dollar stores, on the “minus” side, changes the food access landscape in this community. We found that the “positive” access points served areas that already had access to grocers, while “negative” access points filled the access gap in lower income areas. More than twice as many low-income residents had walkable access to convenience stores—which provide lower-quality and highly processed food—with 81% of them being located within low-income tracts. Geographical analysis of low food access and low-quality food access is important to identify structural patterns, but it needs to be paired with interview-based community assessments to ascertain how residents actually procure their food.

Bu çalışmada; köy yerleşimlerin kırsal turizm kapsamında doğal ve kültürel peyzaj değerlerin görsel peyzaj kalitesi açısından değerlendirilmesi ve kırsal turizm stratejik eylemlerle ilişkilendirilmesi ve yansıtılmasını amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma alanı olarak belirlenen Yalvaç (Isparta) ilçesine bağlı Hisarardı Köyüne ait 6 peyzaj tipi (genel silüet, kültürel peyzaj, kırsal yol peyzajı, tarım peyzajı, su peyzajı, yarı kültürel peyzaj) seçilmiş 18 adet fotoğraf 30 uzman tarafından 12 değerlendirme ölçütüne göre görsel peyzaj kalite analizi yapılmıştır. Değerlendirmeler 5 li Likert ölçek analizinde, +2 en yüksek, 0 nötr, -2 en düşük olmak üzere puanlandırılmak suretiyle analiz edilerek ortalama ağırlık değerleri ile standart sapma değerleri belirlenmiş ve yorumlanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, Hisarardı Köyünün genel siluet (1,00)’ tarım peyzajı (0,84), kırsal yol peyzajı (0,78), su peyzajı (0,70), yarı kültürel peyzaj (0,44) ve kültürel peyzaj (0,13) puan almıştır. Köyün genel görsel peyzaj kalitesinin ortalaması 0,64 puanla düşük olduğu belirlenmiştir. Böylece köyün mevcut görsel peyzajın güçlü ve zayıf yönleri belirlenerek kırsal turizm kapsamında korunması ve geliştirilmesine yönelik stratejik eylemler ve öneriler öngörülmüştür.
