"In order to ensure the sustainability of water resources in our country, the recovery target of 15%for 2030 should be reached to higher levels rapidly by adding sand filters and disinfection units to the existing biological domestic wastewater treatment plants. Studies have shown that the use of wastewater treated with the addition of these units in agriculture or irrigation of green areas is safe and efficient. However, the use of 50%of domestic wastewater for irrigation in Türkiye reduces the water usage rate for this purpose from 73%to only 71%. For this reason, dissemination of modern irrigation techniques in agriculture emerges as an important necessity. In this study, the results obtained from the studies in which membrane technologies are used for textile, olive oil production and poultry slaughterhouse wastewater recovery as well as the domestic wastewater recovery are shared. In these studies, which are given as examples, an operating cost of $0.66/m3 was determined. This cost is lower than the cost of supplying water from the network for the industrial sectors. However, wastewater recovery is not seen as a priority in our country since groundwater is used with very low fees or free of charge. In order to solve this problem, it should be ensured that the use of groundwater is properly tariffed, and the industry should be forced for the recovery alternatives.In this article, it has been revealed that the preference of anaerobic method in the treatment of industrial wastewater with high organic content provides significant energy added value. In this context, it is thought that anaerobic treatment technology should be given priority when evaluating alternatives for the treatment of wastes with high organic content, and it would be appropriate to provide incentives for the dissemination of technology."

"One of the issues that have been emphasized in recent years against global climate change and its possible negative effects is the wild genetic relatives of the cultivated species that are grown within the scope of Horticulture and Field Crops and have high commercial value. Wild relative species are an important asset for agricultural biodiversity, sustainable agriculture and food security in general. Wild relative species may contain genes for beneficial traits such as nutritional quality, resistance to pests and diseases, resource efficiency, and adaptability to extreme weather conditions. Wild relative species have a genetic composition that is more resistant to biotic and abiotic stress factors compared to cultivated species. Wild relative species are very valuable materials that are grown in nature without being subjected to any cultural application by humans, and especially plant breeders can hybridize with their cultured relatives to produce new varieties. These species continue to thrive in the wild, developing traits such as resistance to drought, cold, disease and pests. In fact, wild relatives have been used since the beginning of agriculture to increase the yield and nutritional quality of cultivated plants within the scope of food safety. Many Horticulture and Field plants cultivated today have been selected and cultivated by selection among wild relative species existing in nature."

Published: September 2023

For the survival of the rapidly growing global populace, plant species must exhibit tolerance towards climate change. Plants possess mechanisms to respond to stress by changing their biological processes and stimulating stress-responsive genes. The Dof (TFs) family, which binds to DNA with a single finger, reflects a plant-specific group of TFs that play an important part in regulating plants that are facing different types of abiotic stresses which may influence their growth and development. Discovery of this family has made a significant impact on the field of plant sciences. However, the characterization of Dof transcription factors in crop plants is currently limited reported. Several Dof transcription factors (TFs) of plants have been shown in nature. The transcription factors TaDofs, StDof, MnDofs, JrDof3TF, Va/VvDofs, GhDof1, OsDof1, SmeDof, ZmDof, CsDof, DcDof, CaDofs, ThDof, BraDof, and AcDof are important for abiotic stressors such heat, cold, salt, drought, and heavy metals. In addition, Dof transcription factors play a role in the regulation of factors related to yield and quality. Nevertheless, some outstanding issues remain. The review article provides a summary of the role of various stress-responsive Dof transcription factors in response to abiotic stresses. Additionally, this study investigates the limitations and possible opportunities associated with Dof transcription factors in the development of crops that are capable of withstanding climate change. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct comprehensive research on Dof transcription factors (TFs) across many different transcription factors fields to find their potential novel functionality, which will be beneficial to our retention of the delicate biological processes in plants.

Impact of personality traits on employees’ job satisfaction: A study conducted within the telecommunication sector in Sri Lanka
Authors: M. M. Tajan Fernando  , Mayura Madhava Dharmadasa  , Hansini Pramudika
Published: September 2023

This research study focuses on the relationship between employee personality traits: extraversion, neuroticism, conscientiousness, openness, and agreeableness on their job satisfaction. The authors have used the above five personality traits in this study and utilized statistical techniques such as correlation analysis, regression analysis, and Anova to test and validate the hypotheses and results. According to the results, four personality traits out of the selected five demonstrated a positive impact on job satisfaction. Most interestingly a personality trait that usually makes a negative impact on job satisfaction demonstrated a positive impact on job satisfaction in this study. It is neuroticism which is related to job stress. In the Sri Lankan telecommunication sector, employees tend to be more satisfied when they encounter more job stress. Although this may contradict some of the past literature it aligns with the results of some studies which focus on confounding variables which may influence positively to both job stress-related traits and job satisfaction at once. According to the nature of the context, some specific personality traits (neuroticism) need extra comprehension and testing. Recommendations for further research include incorporating qualitative data, considering contextual factors, conducting longitudinal studies, and exploring intervention strategies. This study contributes to the understanding of how personality traits influence employee job satisfaction in the telecommunications industry and provides practical implications for organizations aiming to enhance employee well-being and performance.

Authors: Ton Nhat My Nu , Tran Nghi Tin , Dang Nhon Thanh
Published: September 2023

This study aims to promote the learning of phrasal verbs (PVs) of Vietnamese low-intermediate adult English-as-a-foreign language (EFL) learners. Thirty-one students were involved in the study over an eleven-week span. In this study we adopted an action research design with a four-stage procedure, including planning, acting, observing and reflecting. The planning stage starts with exploring how PVs are introduced in the textbooks through document analysis and investigating the students’ current knowledge of PVs thorough diagnose text. The acting stage goes with implementing some measures to raise the students’ awareness of the syntactic and semantic features of this lexico-grammatical area and to increase their uptake of PVs through both incidental and intentional learning. The observing phase works on systematically and continually evaluating the effectiveness of the action taken through regular, progressive tests and in-class discussion. The effectiveness of the treatment was measured with pre-, immediate post-, and delayed post-tests in a form of gap filling multiple choice individual sentences. The final stage is reflecting - mirroring the gains and limitations of the teaching and testing techniques implemented. The results of this study reveal a constrained depiction of the PVs in certain aspects, echoing concerns highlighted in prior research. The findings propose that the integration of PV instruction into the comprehensive enhancement of language proficiency for A1-B1 proficiency levels, coupled with a targeted cognitive approach to PVs at the A2-B1 levels, can result in enhanced, enduring retention of PV knowledge. This study deliberates on pragmatic implications for the efficacious advancement of EFL learners' comprehension and utilization of PVs.
Mutual Identities: Fostering Empathy between Readers and Characters in Reading a Work of Fiction
Authors: Alatawi Maha , Harshan Fawziah
Published: September 2023

Empathy is often seen fostered through teaching of literature, particularly fiction, and influencing readers’ behavior and emotions. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between readers' and characters' mutual identities as witnessed in the form of a literary empathy created by reading a work of fiction. A qualitative research design helped in in-depth understanding of participants’ experiences, by adopting an empirical stylistic approach to conduct a thematic analysis of readers’ responses, combining stylistic-narratological analysis of two sampled texts, Amy Tan’s Two Kinds and Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist. Both datasets were collected through a Literary Response Questionnaire (LRQ) and analyzed to understand how literature, particularly fiction, stimulated empathy in individual readers. The readers’ responses mechanism was aptly supported by Theory of mind and Decety's and Gerdes' empathy development theories to understand how readers develop mental flexibility and experience emotional empathy to understand characters’ emotions. The results revealed the intensity of readers’ connection with the characters while they introspected through the text and correlated themselves with human emotions resulting in empathy with the characters of the text.  The findings imply that literature equips students and readers with the capacity to cultivate empathy through an emotional appraisal of characters.

Authors: Mendoza Cuevas Ariadna , Fernández-de-Cossio Jorge , Ali Nehal , Atwa Dina Mohamed
Published: September 2023

A non-invasive XRD-XRF portable system for Archaeometry based on Angle and Energy Dispersive XRD (Hybrid XRD) plus XRF has been previously proposed by the authors. It gathers an attractive compromise between analytical performance and measurement time, as well as a higher energy penetration with respect to conventional Angle Dispersive XRD (ADXRD). Penetration to inside layers, usually perceived as an inconvenient for non-invasive portable XRF or XRD analyzer, can instead be informative for the proposed hybrid XRD-XRF system to perform depth profiling analysis. This hybrid configuration harness from the redundancy of the data, in the sense that a single XRF or XRD specimen, taken at the same sample point, appears in multiple spectrograms to account for data counting statistics. On this work, the performance of the system on standard reference material, as well as the identification of pigments in the surface layer of paintings is evaluated. Specific Hybrid data processing was conceived to examine the layer structure of the painting, by distinguishing signal patterns of the exposed and the under layers. The system is ventured for the first time to the study of pictorial artworks in coffin and cartonnage samples from ancient Egyptian sarcophagi. Prussian blue pigment in a modeled painting is also discussed.
The Effects of SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic on the Distribution of Secondary Bacterial Pneumonia Agents and Antibiotic Resistance Profile in Intensive Care Units
Authors: Aygar İsmail Selçuk
Published: September 2023

Since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) a pandemic on March 11, 2020, SARS-CoV-2 has caused high rates of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The addition of secondary bacterial infections such as pneumonia to the clinical course led to more mortality of the disease. This situation has led to an increase in the use of antibiotics for both prophylactic and therapeutic purposes and has caused concerns about the increase in antibiotic resistance rates and multi-drug resistant strains. 679 COVID-19 patients (Group 1) with a diagnosis confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and 366 patients who were followed up in the anesthesia intensive care unit (ICU) during the pandemic but had negative SARS-CoV-2 PCR test results (Group 2) were included in this study; all of them were treated in the ICU of our hospital between April 2020 - May 2022. In order to observe the possible effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the distribution of the causative agent and changes in antibiotic resistance patterns, the data of 363 patients (Group 3) who were treated in the anesthesia ICU between April 2017 and May 2019 (pre-pandemic period) were analyzed. Bacterial agents isolated from tracheal aspirate samples and antibiotic resistance rates of 1408 patients in the groups were determined. Pathogenic microorganism growth was detected in the tracheal aspirate samples of 430 (63.3%) of the patients followed in the COVID-19 ICUs. In the patients followed in COVID-19 ICUs, as secondary bacterial pneumonia agents, in order of frequency; Acinetobacter baumannii (39.6%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (35.5%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (3.5%) were isolated. A. baumannii and K. pneumoniae isolation rates were significantly higher in COVID-19 patients (Group 1) compared to non-COVID-19 ICU patients (Group 2) and were similarly higher in all patients in the pandemic period (Group 1 + Group 2) compared to the pre-epidemic period (p<0.001). Other remarkable findings were the presence of high antibiotic resistance rates in A. baumannii and K. pneumoniae strains isolated during the pandemic period, compared to the pre-pandemic period, and the observation of multi-drug resistance in the vast majority of isolates. In order to prevent the increased risk of mortality associated with concomitant secondary bacterial infections in patients followed in ICUs due to COVID-19; It is important to evaluate patients quickly in terms of bacterial infections, to take timely and appropriate antibiotic treatment and to take necessary isolation measures.

Authors:   University of Namibia, Windhoek, Namibia, L. Gawazah , H. Z. Woldemariam ,   Namibia University of Science and Technology, Windhoek, Namibia
Published: September 2023

New digital technology advances throughout the globe are principally responsible for the impetus behind the modern information and communications technology (ICT) industry’s requirement for English language skills. There is a steady increase in highly computerized new machinery, each with more complex, difficult-to-understandinstruction manuals that demand a correspondingly high degree of linguistic proficiency. Thus, students studying computer science need access to subject-specific English for both immediate usage and long-term career development. Due to these constant changes and rapid advancements in the technology sector, it was essential to conduct research on the current needs of the ICT industry. It is essential for graduates and professionals in the ICT industry to be able to communicate fluently with teams working in the same field but located in different parts of the world. This can be in the form of written manuals or conversation. The purpose of this study was to interrogate the contemporary English language demands for the ICT industry and the necessary proficiency required of undergraduate ICT majors. The theoretical underpinning of this research was the Material Design Model proposed by Hutchinson and Waters (1). A mixed-methods research approach was used. The total number of participants that took part were 170 (N= 170), thus that is what the sample size was based on. Using convenience sampling, a sample size of 118 was drawn. The results indicated that ICT students often lacked skills in essay writing. The students’ lack of technical language skills seriously weakens the strength of their scientific argument. Studentsare recommended to attend subject-specific language courses in order to prepare for their present academic and future professional language demands. The study indicated that the existing curriculum for computer science students does not adequately prepare them for the kinds of work that would be available to them in the ICT sector. The study recommends utilizing education support professionals (ESP) professionals to teach English in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) courses, with a focus on using examples from specialized journals, magazines, and blog channels. The study concludes by suggesting that instructors of computer science language be incentivized to increase their usage of specialized scholarly terminology in their classrooms.

Published: September 2023

This study aimed to analyze the effect of elevated creatine ki-nase isozyme levels on early prognosis after off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) grafting. Based on the levels of creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), 116 patients were divided into two groups: one with a mild increase (n=85) and another group with a severe increase (n=31) in the enzyme. Clinical data, changes in CK-MB levels at 12, 24, and 48 hours after surgery, changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVESD) before surgery, and seven days and three months after surgery were measured, and recorded. Also, the blood flow of the bridging vessel, vascular resistance, the diameter of the anterior descending branch, and the diameter of the distal target vessel were recorded during the operation (> 1.5 mm). A decrease in the level of LVEDD was recorded in both groups after the operation compared to the levels before. However, in the group with a mild increase in CK-MB, the LVEF after the operation increased compared to before the operation (p<0.05). The occurrence of angina pectoris 24 hours before surgery, high vas-cular resistance during surgery, and diameter of distal target vessel > 1.5 mm were related factors affecting the increase of CK-MB after surgery. The ratio of these factors was higher in the severe increase group than in the mild increase group (p<0.05). An increase in myocardial enzymes causes a slow recovery of myocardial function, so it can be used as a critical biological index to reflect the prognosis of patients.

Authors: Baú Dal Magro Cristian , Danghi da Silva Jefferson , Zanin Antonio , Leite Mauricio
Published: September 2023

Os profissionais da controladoria pública, muitas vezes, executam suas tarefas com pouca liberdade e precisam lidar com inúmeras situações conflituosas. O Tribunal de Contas Estadual, na qualidade de agente de controle externo, exige que os órgãos e entidades sob sua jurisdição adotem sistemáticas eficientes de controle interno. Estes diferentes agentes regulam a estrutura de controladoria e afetam a criatividade e autoestima do controlador público. O objetivo do estudo é analisar os drivers da controladoria pública que afetam o isomorfismo coercitivo e normativo nas práticas dos controllers sob o enfoque do Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Paraná. A amostra da pesquisa compreende 110 prefeituras municipais do Estado do Paraná, representadas por seus controllers. Os dados cruzados foram analisados com uso do teste de Kruskal-Wallis. Conclui-se que os drivers da controladoria que afetam o isomorfismo coercitivo e normativo estão relacionados à autonomia funcional dos controllers. A autonomia proporciona melhora à execução e aderência das práticas de controladoria às exigências legislativas. Contudo, a falta de autonomia limita as atividades executadas apenas em função da pressão exercida pela fiscalização do Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Paraná, o que de fato ocasiona conflitos de interesse e prejuízo no monitoramento dos recursos públicos.

Hypertension as a cardiovascular disease ranks first as a disease with the highest expenditure on health insurance costs. In the financing system implemented by the Indonesian Social Security Program, hospitals as health service providers no longer break down bills based on details of services provided, but only by submitting a diagnosis code that comes out in the form of Indonesia Case-Based Groups (INA-CBGs). The INA-CBGs code for mild hypertension with a severity level of 1 is I-4-17-1. The purpose of this study was to determine the implementation of INA-CBGs rates by comparing the cost difference between the INA-CBG rates and the actual hospital rates for inpatients with hypertension code I-4-17-1 with the parameters studied in the form of gender, age, and length of stay, comorbidities, and drug usage. The analytic observational method with a cross-sectional design was used. Data were hospital financial records and patients medical record documents (inpatient hypertension patients) coded I-4-17-I with the following classes; first class, second class, and third class treatment rooms from October 2016 to July 2017 at Panembahan Senopati Hospital. Data were tested for normality with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. One Way ANOVA test and t-test were used to analyze the data in determining the difference in costs between the INA-CBGs rates and the actual hospital rates and in determining the factors that influenced the difference in costs. The results showed that 53 patients met the inclusion criteria. The total cost incurred by the hospital for hospitalized hypertensive patients was Rp. 140,963,105, while the total claim rate for INA-CBGs was Rp. 109,960,000. Gender, length of stay, comorbidities, and drug usage were contributed to the difference in cost, while age had no significant effect. It can be concluded that hospitals need to evaluate the implementation of INA-CBGs rates to minimize financial losses.

This study conducted data analysis based on 172,895 samples of Al-Quran recitation sounds from Juzz 30, which includes a total of 37 surahs with 564 verses. This sound data were taken from the recording on the Qara'a application and collected from 500 users of the application. In this study, 3 out of 500 users were used as training data to train speech recognition models, while one user was used as testing data. The training model used was DeepSpeech supported by TensorFlow. In the model training process, 30% of the samples were used as a validation set. Based on the results, Model B with the MFCC feature is the best model in the task of recognizing and classifying audio-based Quran verses. The use of the delta feature in Model B and Model C show a negative impact on model performance. The MFCC feature is more recommended in the recognition and classification of audio-based Qur’an verses, especially in the LSTM model architecture.

Introducción: El quiste Óseo Solitario es una lesión Pseudotumoral, que aparece con frecuencia en la metáfisis de huesos largos en las primeras décadas de la vida, comprometiendo la estructura ósea; por esta razón para su resolución se presentan varias alternativas de tratamiento, tomando en cuenta la incidencia de recidivas.  Objetivo: Describir el manejo del Quiste Óseo Solitario en los pacientes que acuden a la consulta de la Unidad de Tumores Musculoesqueleticos del Centro Médico Docente La Trinidad. Métodos: Revisión de historias clínicas acompañada por  el protocolo de la Unidad de Tumores Musculoesqueleticos emitidas desde Enero del 2017 hasta Octubre 2018.  Resultados: Se revisaron 18 casos con diagnóstico de Quiste Óseo Solitario evaluados en la Unidad de Tumores Musculoesqueleticos.  La incidencia en cuanto edad, ubicación, y presentación radiológica coinciden con la bibliografía especializada, 10 pacientes se manejaron de la forma conservadora, 8 con tratamiento quirúrgico, mediante relleno con autoinjerto y aloinjerto, obteniendo mejores resultados con autoinjerto, disminuyendo el porcentaje de recidiva. Conclusiones: El momento para realizar la cirugía debe ser cuando la lesión se ha distanciado del núcleo de crecimiento, y el mejor sustituto óseo es el hueso autólogo

Introducción: El bloqueo bilateral del nervio pudendo mediante ultrasonido ofrece una adecuada analgesia postoperatoria al paciente sometido a cirugía anorrectal. Objetivo: Evaluar la influencia del bloqueo bilateral del nervio pudendo ecodirigido en la disminución del dolor de pacientes de cirugía anorrectal, durante el periodo comprendido desde Febrero del 2017 hasta Octubre del 2017. Métodos: Estudio experimental, prospectivo, con asignación al azar, donde se evaluó el dolor postoperatorio. Se seleccionaron 2 grupos, el primero “Experimental” y el segundo “Control”, a quienes se les realizó bloqueo ecodirigido bilateral del nervio pudendo o mediante relaciones topográficas respectivamente, luego se aplicó la escala visual análoga del dolor al momento de egresar de quirófano, a las 24 horas y con la primera defecación. Se incluyeron pacientes mayores de 18 años, con patología anorrectal benigna. Resultados: Un total de 12 pacientes, 6 para cada grupo,  66,67%  mujeres y 33,33% hombres, con promedio de edad de 42,92 años. La limitación de la muestra no permite realizar inferencia estadística de la población estudiada en cuanto a patología anorrectal, ni procedimiento quirúrgico. Al analizar la escala del dolor como una variable del tipo cualitativo ordinal (severidad) y comparando la proporción dentro de cada valor se observó que el 66,67% del grupo experimental no presento dolor al momento del egreso de quirófano, comparado con el 33,33% del grupo control.  Conclusiones: El bloqueo del nervio pudendo ecodirigido es un procedimiento seguro, confiable, que logra mejoría del dolor postoperatorio y disminuye la necesidad de analgésicos postoperatorios, sin incrementar significativamente el tiempo quirúrgico.

El Índice de Necesidad de Tratamiento Ortodóncico (IOTN) permite cuantificar la necesidad de tratamiento dependiendo de la severidad de la maloclusión, tomando diferentes indicadores específicos de maloclusión. Objetivo: describir y analizar el uso del Componente de Salud Dental del Índice de Necesidad de Tratamiento Ortodóncico en pacientes en dentición mixta y permanente joven. Materiales y Métodos: estudio de revisión narrativa que se basó en la búsqueda de artículos científicos en las bases de datos: PubMed, Scielo, ResearchGate, ScienceDirect, DOAJ y Scopus. Resultados: El IOTN es un índice que aporta datos importantes para clasificar y categorizar las necesidades de tratamiento ortodóncico y patologías oclusales según la severidad, en la indicación de tratamiento ortodóncico; además ha sido utilizado como herramienta epidemiológica y se debe tomar en cuenta la utilidad que tiene para los servicios públicos. Incluye diferentes indicadores específicos de maloclusión, avalados como necesidades terapéuticas, clasificándolos según su severidad: overjet o sobremordida horizontal, overjet inverso o sobremordida horizontal negativa, mordida cruzada anterior y posterior, contactos dentarios desplazados, mordida abierta anterior y posterior, overbite o sobremordida vertical, oclusión pre y post normal, hipodoncia, diente impactado, diente retenido, labio y paladar hendido u otras malformaciones craneofaciales, dientes parcialmente erupcionados, inclinados e impactados contra dientes adyacentes, dientes supernumerarios, agenesia dental. Conclusión: El IOTN es un índice concreto, práctico y reproducible por odontólogos entrenados. Su uso favorece el diagnóstico oportuno de maloclusiones y la determinación de necesidad de tratamiento de cada paciente, priorizando las presentaciones más severas de maloclusión en la planificación terapéutica.

Los tumores de hipófisis representan la forma más frecuente de tumor intracraneal en 14.7% de los casos. Resultan de la proliferación celular monoclonal en su mayoría esporádicos, son de predominio benigno y de crecimiento lento, pero que pueden llegar a tener significativa morbilidad y hasta mortalidad prematura, por ello pueden representar un reto significativo, debido a lo complejo del abordaje diagnóstico y al manejo terapéutico en un tiempo oportuno, por ende, resulta importante implementar herramientas que permitan registrar el comportamiento de éstos pacientes para mejorar las estrategias de abordaje. Materiales y Métodos: con el objetivo de caracterizar esta entidad, se realiza un registro epidemiológico de los Tumores de Hipófisis del Servicio de Endocrinología del Centro Médico Docente La Trinidad 2017-2020; se estructuró un estudio descriptivo y retrospectivo de los pacientes con diagnóstico de tumores de hipófisis que acudieron al centro. Resultados: La población total fue de 109 pacientes, dentro de los cuales se establecieron diferencias entre los distintos tipos de tumores, encontrando la siguiente distribución: No Funcionantes 51%, Prolactinomas 27 %, Enfermedad de Cushing 11%, Acromegalia 10% y 2 craneofaringiomas 1%. Conclusiones: se resalta entonces la importancia de los sistemas de registro de tumores hipofisarios, que representan un recurso clínico necesario, que permite el análisis de los datos extraídos de las historias médicas a fin de crear estrategias institucionales que permitan optimizar el abordaje diagnóstico y terapéutico, basados en las exigencias individuales de estos pacientes y los recursos disponibles.
