Social factors and UFO reports: was the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic associated with an increase in UFO reporting?
Authors: Cockrell R Chase , Murphy Linda , Rodeghier Mark
Published: June 2022

The ongoing SARS-Cov-2 pandemic had many drastic effects upon society beyond the illness and death it caused. Pandemic mitigation measures disrupted and altered behaviors related to social mobility, significantly increasing the time spent at home compared to the pre-pandemic period. Further, it was well documented that social anxiety and stress increased at a population level. Early in the pandemic there was speculation in the popular media that reporting of paranormal phenomena (e.g., UFOs, ghosts, etc.) increased due to factors associated with the pandemic. Past research on UFO/UAP reporting has theorized that increases are triggered by social factors, and so the pandemic provided a natural experiment to test these claims. To measure UFO reports we utilized two public databases of UFO reports for sightings in the United States, provided by the National UFO Reporting Center and the Mutual UFO Network. To estimate the impact of the pandemic we utilized two measures, one for social mobility and one for pandemic/disease severity. Google Community Mobility Reports provided a metric of social mobility for people who use Google Maps on their cellular telephone (i.e., amount of time spent at work compared to home), which we aggregated to a state level to estimate time spent at home. Second, we used new weekly SARS-CoV-2 cases and deaths, both absolute counts and per capita, which can be considered to be an indirect measure of anxiety and stress. We find that UFO reports did increase in 2020 compared to 2019 (p<0.001 for both databases); however, the level of UFO reporting had little to no association with the various pandemic-related measures, offering no support for hypothesized social factors that influence reporting. A complicating factor in UFO reporting is the start in 2019 of Starlink satellite launches. These launches include up to 60 small satellites at once, and so are very distinctive and often easily visible. As a result, many people report these as UFOs. We coded and removed these reports from the sighting databases, and the filtered data similarly have no association with the pandemic-related factors. Further, with Starlink reports removed, there was no increase in sightings in 2020 compared to 2019. Our results contribute to an understanding of large-scale factors that impact the reporting of paranormal events, especially timely given the renewed public and government focus on the UFO phenomenon today.

PENAFSIRAN LITERAL YEHEZKIEL PASAL 37:1-14
Authors: Pandara Paulus
Published: June 2022

Yehezkiel Pasal 37:1-14 menyatakan bahwa Allah itu sumber pengharapan. Pengharapan sangat esensial bagi manusia sebab hidup yang tak berpengharapan bagaikan tulang-tulang yang kering yang tidak memiliki urat, tidak memiliki daging, dan tidak berbungkus kulit. Kehidupan yang tak berpengharapan yang dialami umat Israel diakibatkan karena mereka tidak setia kepada Allah, hidup tidak kudus di hadapan Allah, dan percaya kepada nabi-nabi palsu dan beritanya. Hanya Allah yang dapat memberi pengharapan dengan tindakan simbolis yang dideskripsikan bagian ini yaitu Allah menyatukan bagian-bagian tulang, memberi urat-urat, menumbuhkan daging, membungkus daging dengan kulit, dan memberi nafas hidup. Pengharapan sempurna dari Tuhan Allah berupa transformasi sejati oleh Roh Kudus dan Pemulihan holistik di dalam Kuasa Kebangkitan Kristus.
Analyzing Willingness to Pay for Improved Tap Water Quality: A Case of Kathmandu Valley of Nepal
Authors: Thapa Arjun Kumar , Thapa Babu Kaji
Published: June 2022

Solving chronic drinking water shortage problem of Kathmandu Valley has been finally achieved after arduous two decades of effort of Melamchi Water supply project. At this moment, though it is futile to ask economic worthiness of this national pride project but there is still ample room to investigate ability and willingness to shoulder such lumpy financial burden by ultimate beneficiaries of potable water in Kathmandu valley. Accordingly, this paper intends to measure and investigate the factors affecting household’s willingness to pay for improved water supply. The study enumerated 4941 households falling under Kathmandu Upatyaka Khanepani Limited (KUKL) service areas during 2015 to 2016 period. It incorporated contingency valuation (CV) tools to estimate willingness to pay by residents. We applied ordinal logistic regression model to analyze the major determinants of WTP for improved water supply system and measured different elasticity on the base of simple OLS using STATA version 12. The findings show that a third of households are headed by females, while the average family size and families per building are 5.2 and 9.6 persons respectively; all above national average. The reported major source of water by residents in the study area are Kathmandu Upattyaka Khanepani Limited (KUKL) (36%), jar water (20%), tanker (15%); and well/Kuwa and handpump (20%); while total expenditure in Nepalese Rupees (NRs) is 1314 per household per month. The willingness to pay for KUKL’s improved water by the household is NRs 404, just over 2.5 times the mean current KUKL tariff (NRs. 155) per month. The ordinal logistic regression result shows household current quantity of water utilization, price of jar water, income and perceived water quality and waterborne diseases as major determinants of WTP for improved water supply. The odds of paying higher WTP for improved water supply are significantly positive for aforementioned factors except the price of jar (which affects negatively). The income inelastic (<1) demand for KUKL’s water demand signifies water as basic necessity commodity and proportion of income spent is small. The negative signs of coefficients of cross elasticity of KUKL water demand with respect to prices of jar water and tanker supplied water indicates that jar water and tanker water as strong substitutes of KUKL supply system. The study concluded that the low WTP for improved KUKL’s water supply in comparison to current total water expenditure is ‘wait and see’ signal for KUKL authorities and government. The study infers that KUKL needs to win confidence of its consumers in terms of sufficiency, regularity and quality before scaling  up water tariffs.

Authors: Bhandari Pawan Singh , Bhattarai Thakur
Published: June 2022

Carnation is an important cut flower commercially traded in Kathmandu Valley. It has high demand in the Kathmandu Valley’s floriculture market due to its physical characteristics and its suitability to be used singly or in combination with other flowers. This examines the economics of carnation cut flower production in Kathmandu Valley. The data for the study was collected from a sample of 15 carnation cut flower producers in Kathmandu Valley. Simple random sampling technique was employed to select the respondents. Information from the respondents collected through semi-structured interview schedule. Data collected through personal interview and secondary sources was analyzed by applying descriptive statistical tools. Data analysis focused mainly on the costs and returns from the carnation production, trends in production and prices, present problems in production and future prospects of carnation production in Kathmandu Valley. The findings revealed that the profits from carnation cut flower were satisfactory to the producers. However, there were ample areas of improvements in the production system. Given the high degree of demand and increasing trend of imports, concerted efforts must be made to reverse the situation and become self-reliant in fulfilling the demand for carnation cut flowers alongside exporting to other countries in the future.

Authors: Acharya Sabitri Devi
Published: June 2022

Remittances, what foreign workers send back to their home countries, have grown not only in size but in importance for many developing countries. Remittances are integral to migration because one of the basic motives for migrating is to remit a portion of earnings to the communities of origin or households. Remittances, as part of the migration process, can be viewed as a family income maximisation strategy. The general objective of this study is to examine the determinants of outmigration at household level. The study adopts the micro- econometrics research design by utilizing cross-sectional household survey data. Two types of factors: pull and push factors drive outmigration. The findings indicate that education, ecological belt, consumption quintile, access to government facilities and the ratio of food expenditure to total expenditures are determinants of outmigration.

Authors: Bhatta Siddha Raj , Adhikari Pujan , Byanjankar Rohan
Published: June 2022

Time series data possess distinct properties compared to cross section data. They have high temporal dependence, trend component and may have seasonal as well as cyclical patterns. A much-discussed issue in time series data is non-stationarity that highly influences the efficiency and consistency of regression estimates. In addition, time series regressions are most likely to suffer from spurious relationship. Thus, correct choice should be made regarding the regression models to obtain consistent estimates of the parameters and avoid spurious regression. This paper discusses the properties of time series data and the choice of appropriate regression models specifically in the context of finite samples. By discussing the relative strengths and limitations of the regression models that are used in time series data, this paper aims to contribute to the selection framework of regression models in time series analysis.

Authors: Khatun Sanzida , Shah Diwakar Kumar , Shrestha Nischal , Yadav Ashis Kumar
Published: June 2022

Background: The placenta is a uterine organ in pregnancy which facilitates exchange of materials between maternal and fetal circulation. Decreased maternal hemoglobin decreases oxygen supplementation to fetus among anemic mothers which may cause low birth weight. The aim of this study was to compare the ratio of placenta to birth weight among anemic and non-anemic mothers.

Materials and Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted in 82 anemic pregnancies and 203 non-anemic pregnancies in Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Nobel Medical College Teaching Hospital, Biratnagar. Participants with haemoglobin concentration lower than 11 g/dl were included in anemic group and 11g/dl or more in non-anemic group. The difference of means of placental weight, birth weight and placenta to birth weight ratio in anemic and non-anemic groups was determined by Student’s t-test.

Results: In anemic group, mean placental weight was 578.78±141.80 g, mean birth weight was 2973.17±680.97 g and mean placenta to birth weight ratio was 0.20±0.05. In non-anemic group, mean placental weight was 575.96±128.88 g, mean birth weight was 3125.91±590.89 g and mean placenta to birth weight ratio was 0.19±0.05. Significant difference was observed in means of placenta to birth ratio in anemic and non-anemic groups (p-value 0.05).

Conclusion: Mean placental weight and mean ratio of placenta to birth weight was higher in pregnant women with anemia than in non-anemic pregnant women and significant difference was observed in means of placenta to birth ratio between anemic and non-anemic groups.

Authors: Zulaeha Zulaeha
Published: June 2022

Learning foreign languages, especially Arabic, is still an obstacle for non-Arabic speakers. Apart from the problem of grammatical gaps, and phonological differences between source and target languages, writing composition proficiency is also a problem in learning arabic that often occurs, especially among Arabic language learners in higher education. Anchored by this problem, this study aims to investigate errors in the practice of arabic sentences composition made by learners at the university level, as well as the factors behind it. To explain this problem, the Error Foreign Language (EFL) approach to the content of insyā’ (writing/composing) assignments written by students in Arabic courses are involved as an analytical framework. The results of the analysis reveal that the types of tarkīb errors that appear in students’ assignments include; First, errors in the use of the letters jār, tarkib iḍāfī, tarkīb waṣfī, tarkīb jumlah fi’liyah, and tarkīb jumlah  ismiyah that consist of mubtada’ (subject of the sentence) with khabar  jumlah fi’ilyah, and  mubtada’ with khabar mufrad. The factors that cause this are the result of interlingual interferences, inadequate learning, simplification, and fault analogy in Arabic language rules. The implications and recommendations for this problem are described intensely at the end of this study.

Published: June 2022

Cohesive devices are crucial points recognized as essential features of a good essay, yet employing them in an essay appropriately becomes problematic for learners. This study analyzes qualitatively cohesive devices to investigate EFL learners. It aims at examining how EFL learners apply cohesive devices in argumentative essays, the frequencies of cohesive devices errors in their writings, and the possible causes of EFL learners to produce cohesive devices. Twenty-five learners of the Department of International Relations, at a university in Ponorogo, were requested to produce argumentative essays that consisted of five paragraphs. Twenty-five essays had been identified with the number of errors of grammatical cohesion. Those errors were then analyzed to determine the possible causes affecting the learners’ errors. The find revealed that the number of grammatical cohesion utilized by EFL learners reached 2172, while 168 obtained errors. There was a heavy reliance on cohesive item use. The intralingual transfer mostly influenced the errors produced than the interlingual transfer. The intralingual errors percentage represented 96,9%; interlingual transfer errors reached 3.03%. It occurred due to the learners’ inability to employ the grammar rule. Hence, lecturer should employ the strategies for learners’ writing ability development, such as implementing collaborative learning, delivering the feedback, exposing learners to exercise, and applying a learning management system to result higher level of cohesion.
English Live Caption in a Javanese Shadow Puppet Theatre: Systemic Functional Linguistics for Appraising the Beauty of Sagopi
Authors: Khrisna Dyah Ayu Nila , Djatmika Djatmika
Published: June 2022

In the field of simultaneous translation, live captioning has not been sufficiently touched by research. There have been shifts in translating characterization due to this being done in real-time and on the spot. It is critical that target readers or viewers get the same impression of a character's personality as portrayed in the original work. Consequently, translations of literary plays must be thoroughly checked for fidelity. The objective of the study is to undertake an in-depth analysis of the live captioning provided in "The Life Struggle of Sagopi" puppet theater. It compares the character portrayal of the protagonist, Sagopi, in the original play and the translation. Employing a content analysis technique, all of the utterances describing Sagopi's beauty were collected. As a method for analyzing the data, the theory of Appraisal was utilized. When the described Appraisal elements are identical to those in the original, the characterization would be considered equivalent. The analysis reveals that the live captions do not fully represent the portrayal of Sagopi. While the description of Sagopi's beauty in the shadow puppet performance is detailed, the English live caption does not reflect this. In the target language, deletions and shifts of appraisals indicate the changes. The lack of culturally relevant terminologies and the time lag between the puppeteer's oral utterances and the translator's typing speed during live captioning are the main causes of the problem. Furthermore, live captioning is time and space-constrained. Almost always, it is a condensed version of the oral source text. This demonstrates how difficult it is to achieve the same level of appraisal as the original. This is not to suggest that viewers have no right to a high-quality translation. Despite its shortcomings, the written text in the form of a live caption is regarded as the finest way for foreigners to enjoy a puppet show.

The article analyzes the problem of popularization of Chinese national traditional kinds of sports. The purpose of the study was to determine ways to promote national traditional sports. The research involved 322 respondents, including 271 ordinary Chinese citizens (Hainan Province) and 51 professionals in physical education, i.e. athletes and coaches involved in the development of Chinese national traditional kinds of sports. The average age of respondents was 25 years.

The following methods were used during the study: theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific literature, document analysis, system analysis, sociological survey, methods of mathematical data processing.

One of the most popular and world-famous Chinese national traditional kind of sports is the Dragon and Lion dance, which is recognized as an official kind of sports for the transformation from a national dance to a competitive activity. More than 60% of respondents, athletes, coaches and ordinary citizens assess the popularity of Dragon and Lion dance in the country above average, which indicates its public recognition and commitment to it by citizens. Most respondents consider it as a symbol of traditional holidays. 72.5% of respondents like this kind of sports. About 44% of physical culture specialists, athletes and trainers consider the main advantage of Dragon and Lion dance to improve the festive atmosphere, and only 25% of them consider that its fitness function is important. Only 36% of the respondents highly appreciate the function that shows a very low level of public awareness of the positive impact of Dragon and Lion dancing on the human body. Most respondents believe that the Dragon and Lion dance should be spread in China and abroad (33% of professionals in physical education, athletes, coaches, and 67.8% of citizens), the main sources of information about this kind of sports is media, according to the idea of the most part of respondents.

So the main ways to popularize national traditional kinds of sports are identified as the formation of appropriate public policy, effective marketing, introduction in educational institutions and campuses, raising public awareness through the media (especially the Internet); dissemination among rural residents, combining innovative elements of the competition program with traditional ones, improving the system of international and national competitions.

The article considers the increase of students' interest in physical culture and sports, revised the model of teaching physical culture in higher education. The system of physical education should use different types of health activities that are most attractive to the younger generation. In this case, we are talking about the introduction of fitness programs that combine the effectiveness of training, its results and satisfaction with the process. That is why, today, fitness is the most relevant type of physical activity. In addition, it is possible to introduce dance as a means of socializing the student's personality. It is worth considering the fact that fitness is presented in the form of various types of sports and health activities. Accordingly, a large number of such species generates a variety of fitness technologies. Fitness technology should be understood as nothing more than a set of physical exercises, as well as elements of dances or steps, which are grouped by a special algorithm of actions. As a result, fitness technology through a consolidated and sometimes chaotic set of actions aimed at ensuring a positive result, namely obtaining a physical health effect.The presented scientific article deals with the current topic of the inclusion of fitness programs in the educational process of the university. The author analyzes the modern education system, and also stud- ies the negative impact of the intensive educational process on the psychophysical state of the student. In this study, it is proposed to include certain types of fitness programs in the system of physical education classes, as this will contribute to a greater interest in sports and improve the health of students. In the course of the study, a survey of 450 students of higher educational institutions of the city of Krasnodar was conducted in order to identify the attitude of students to the introduction of fitness technologies in the edu- cational process. The paper considers some critical aspects of the inclusion of fitness programs, but the author suggests alternative ways of their early resolution.

The recent changes in the Ukrainian education system related to the forced transition to distance learning have caused an urgent need and provided an opportunity to analyze the effectiveness of distance learning. The transition of students to distance learning technology has already caused adverse changes in the functional state of students due to low motor component and significant mental stress. This situation requires improving the rational organization of motor activity of students in distance learning. Due to two complex factors - the long pandemic and the full-scale war currently being waged by Russia in Ukraine, all disciplines taught by the Department of Physical Culture (both lectures ("Physical Culture and Sports") and practical (elective physical culture)) are held in a remote format. The article analyzes the features of physical education of students in distance learning. There is a tendency to reduce the motor activity of students, as most of the time students spend on gadgets. The ways and methods of involving student youth in physical exercises in the conditions of distance learning are offered. The role, place and opportunities of distance learning in physical education for students and teachers are determined. It is established that the optimal type of physical activity at home - various types of fitness, which involve performing general developmental exercises that do not require special inventory and equipment, can be performed in a limited space, allow individual dosing. In addition, such classes are attractive to young people.

Taking into account the results of the analysis of scientific- methodical, special and reference literature it is established, that the current direction of development of high-performance programs, applied methods of occupational therapy (physical therapy) athletes who specialize in martial arts (senior age groups) with an emphasis on the use of kinesiological taping at the stage of recovery after inflammation of chronic injuries (injuries received in the process of training and competitive activities) – insufficient number of scientific and methodical works is devoted, which requires further research and emphasizes the relevance and practical component of the chosen direction of scientific research. The main purpose of the study is to develop an experimental program ofoccupational therapy for veteran Sambo wrestlerswith an emphasis on the use of kinesiotapingat the stage of recovery after inflammation of chronic foot injuries.In the process of theoretical research, the following methods were used: abstraction, analysis, deduction, induction, classification, explanation, synthesis, generalization, etc. As a result of the research, members of the research group developedproject of the experimental program of occupational therapy of Sambo veteranswith an emphasis on the use of kinesiological taping at the stage of recovery after inflammation of chronic foot injuries.The "experimental program" developed by us provides passing by wrestlers of a researched category of a course ofoccupational therapy during:rehabilitation (7 training sessions), main (8 training sessions) and ascertaining stages (7 training sessions). It is expected that our specialized course of occupational therapy will provide accelerated recovery of veteran Sambo wrestlers with injuries (chronic inflammation) of the feet, which will help optimize their training load, as well as increase competitive performance. Prospects for further research in the chosen direction of scientific research include: determination of organizational and methodological guidelines for a separate training session (occupational therapy); division of time into stages (classes), as well as the organization of practical implementation (testing) of the experimental program of occupational therapy of veteran Sambo wrestlers with chronic foot injuries.

Химия – это еще не вся жизнь, но вся Жизнь – это химия. Каждый носит ее в себе. Она создает и поддерживает жизнь как уникальное, неповторимое явление. Работа сердца и движение тела, мышление и память, страсти и чувства, болезнь и здоровье, гены и геном, наследственность и рождение новой жизни − все это химия. Это магическая наука, она построена на квантовом электричестве, в котором электроны не падают на ядра и притягиваются друг к другу, а не отталкиваются, как в классическом электричестве. В ней есть собственные химические ноты – шестнадцать атомных орбиталей, которыми звучит химия. Эта книга об очаровании химии как науки о музыке электронов и ядер, науки об игре квантовых электрических потенциалов, на которых построена вся химическая архитектура мира. Книга написана ярко, увлекательно, вдохновенно.
Desenvolvimento e caracterização de espuma poliuretânica à base de Difenilmetano diisocianato (MDI) e óleo de linhaça (Linum usitatissimun L.)
Authors: Petró Fabiane , Krause Santin Cristiane
Published: June 2022

Neste trabalho, desenvolveu-se uma espuma de poliuretano com poliol que foi obtida a partir do óleo de linhaça. Para a síntese do poliol, o método de epoxidação e hidroxilação do óleo de linhaça foi utilizado em uma única etapa, a partir do ácido perfórmico, gerado in situ, na relação molar de HCOOOH/H2O2/C=C igual a 3/1,5/1. A caracterização do poliol de óleo de linhaça deu-se através do índice de hidroxila, funcionalidade e espectro infravermelho, mostrando ser adequado para síntese de PU. A espuma PU desenvolvida foi sintetizada na proporção molar [NCO/OH] de 1,5 e caracterizada quanto à densidade, à morfologia, à reatividade e às propriedades mecânicas, apresentando propriedades similares às espumas comerciais semirrígidas.

The Comparative Analysis of the Scoring System Used in BREEAM International New Construction 2016 and the Recent Trends in Housing Sustainability-Related Literature
Authors: Sanei Mohsen
Published: June 2022

Paying attention to the sustainability of houses and any effort in this direction can be extremely important in achieving more sustainable societies. In this regard, sustainability assessment tools and more specifically the certificates that are used to evaluate the sustainability of urban houses can play major roles and, therefore, present points that need to be as efficient as possible. The study is an attempt at analyzing the efficiency of BREEAM (The British Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method), as one of the most advanced and highest used certificates (in the world) in the housing sector, based on the results from a systematic literature review. To achieve this goal, the scoring system used in the BREEAM International New Construction 2016 is evaluated in order to see if the credits and weightings that are assigned to the assessment issues are aligned with the trends existing in the recent literature related to urban housing sustainability. The results of a previously published systematic review of 118 recent papers are used to extract the most important factors (and their importance degrees) affecting the sustainability of urban houses on a global scale. The analysis outcome shows significant differences in the prioritization of factors and the importance degree given to each factor between the BREEAM evaluation process and the literature review factors.
