Solid Waste Management in Malaysia: An overview
Authors: Shakil Nurul Syifaa Mohd , Azhar Nur Azirah Zahida Mohamad , Othman Norashida
Published: May 2023

Malaysia is heavily dependent on landfilling as a method of waste disposal, and as a result, severe space constraints, health issues, and environmental issues will eventually affect the country. This essay aims to give a general overview of solid waste recycling in Malaysia at the level that affects a community or country the most, the family. In Malaysia, households are the main producers of municipal solid waste, with recyclable materials making up between 70 and 80 percent of the total waste found in landfills. To improve solid waste management from a recycling perspective, it is important to consider Malaysia's current household solid waste recycling policy and program status. Wastes are still dumped in open areas of land without any attempt at recovery or recycling, despite the high potential and opportunities for doing so. Malaysia's rate of 5% illustrates the rarity of this practice when compared to recycling rates in neighboring nations. The government is committed to greatly enhancing solid waste management services for all citizens, particularly waste minimization. Since wastes, separation, and recycling make up a sizable portion of the major changes in the current policy implementation, it is a good thing that the emphasis on recycling as a sustainable waste management strategy has undergone a paradigm shift. The question of whether the 2020 goals can be met is still up in the air, but there is a chance for a successful implementation of sustainable solid waste management. These issues and challenges in recycling practice were highlighted in this context.

Managers are facing an ever more complex and demanding work environment that requires them to prioritize their organization’s excellence. One of the significant hurdles they encounter is finding ways for their organizations to effectively compete not only within their domestic market but also on an international or global scale. In the organizational context, effective managerial coaching involves five dimensions to be practiced by the immediate superiors, the closest individuals to employees: practicing open communication, promoting working in groups, practicing employees’ orientation, embracing diversity, and facilitating employees’ development. Therefore, their coaching can help employees improve their work performance from time to time. The sensitivity of immediate superiors in enhancing employees’ development by providing required resources for work assignments, such as budget, raw materials, and adequate work equipment to employees, providing clear goals and explanations of assigned tasks, leads to increased employee confidence in completing assigned tasks effectively. Providing sufficient resources enables employees to complete new and more challenging tasks.
#Twitter: Examining the Impact of Earnings Format Choice and Rehashing Prior Positive Information on Market Prices
Authors: Pitre Terence J. , Pinsker Robert , Daigle Ronald J. , Zhang Yibo
Published: May 2023

Using Twitter to disseminate information has two advantages: flexibility in presentation formats and the ability to redisclose a prior period’s information—referred to as “rehashing.” Our research examines the effect of these issues on market investors’ trading. Our experimental market results suggest that nonprofessional investors presented with whole-number quarterly earnings exhibit insensitivity to the large numbers (i.e., psychophysical numbing). Further, we find evidence suggesting that investors in the whole-number condition net the rehashed quarterly earnings information with current quarterly earnings information to counteract the psychophysical numbing effects, whereas those in the earnings per share (small-number) condition display a representativeness bias toward positive news when processing the rehashed information. Our results indicate that a firm can influence investor decisions when managers strategically disseminate larger whole numbers and rehash positive earnings information. Thus, our findings contribute novel information to the extant social media literature.

Restorative justice dalam penyidikan dilaksanakan dengan menggunaan metode mediasi penal yang memberikan kesempatan kepada Korban dan Pelaku secara partisipatif meenyusun kesepakatan perdamaian yang difasilitasi oleh Penyidik. Mediasi penal berasal dari mediasi keperdataan dengan problematika proses menyusun kesepakatan yang harus dipastikan murni berasal dari Para Pihak bukan dari Penyidik dan komitmen Para Pihak untuk melaksanakan kesepakatan perdamaian. Penelitian ini merupakan socio legal reseach yang dilakukan di Direktorat Reserse Kriminal Umum Kepolisian Daerah Jawa Tengah dan Perhimpunan Advokat Indonesia Dewan Pimpinan Cabang Semarang dengan metode wawancara, observasi, dan telaah berkas perkara. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa kesepakatan mediasi penal disusun sendiri oleh Para Pihak yang difasilitasi Penyidik namun belum melibatkan masyarakat sehingga orientasi pengembalian harmonisasi sosial tidak begitu terasa. Selain itu, komitmen melaksanakan mediasi penal belum mempertegas harus dilaksanakan secara tuntas atau tidak boleh secara mencicil sehingga risiko wanprestasi atau ingkar janji masih berpeluang terjadi dan akan menimbulkan permasalahan di kemudian hari bagi Para Pihak termasuk Penyidik sendiri.

Government policy reflects the extent to which Indonesian citizenship law accommodates the issue of Foreign Terrorist Fighter (FTF)s, as well as future projections of what can be done against FTF based on related laws and regulations, especially those related to citizenship laws. The method used in this study is normative juridical, with data collection through literature study. The results showed that the citizenship status of Foreign Terrorist Fighters from Indonesia based on a human rights perspective, the state can only revoke a person's citizenship based on a court decision. A person's citizenship status is a fundamental right, and a precious right, therefore, the rights of every citizen must be recognized, respected, protected, facilitated, and fulfilled by the state. In solving the problem of citizenship status of former FTF from Indonesia, it is necessary to improve performance and cooperation in the deradicalization process by all elements of the Government and Law Enforcement Officers commanded by the National Counterterrorism Agency and the development of sterile area infrastructure with a high security system to carry out the deradicalization process while carrying out the FTF citizenship status determination trial process.

A form of crime that often occurs in Indonesia is money laundering. Indonesia is declared as one of the Non-Cooperative Countries and Territories (NCTTs) countries with the threat of sanctions for termination of international banks with Indonesian banks, other countries will reject Letters of Credit (L/C) issued by Indonesian banks and Indonesian financial institutions will be charged high fees in every financial transaction with foreign institutions. Indonesia itself only criminalized money laundering in 2002 with the enactment of Law Number 15 of 2002. The Criminal Asset Forfeiture Bill is carried out by the in rem forfeiture method by asserting that a legal action is taken against the asset, not against the individual (in rem personam) with emphasis on assets allegedly derived or used in criminal acts. Allowing criminal actors to continue to control the proceeds and instruments (assets) of criminal acts will provide opportunities for criminal actors or other parties to enjoy the proceeds of crime and reuse the proceeds of crime for other crimes, so that the Criminal Asset Forfeiture Bill is indispensable in preventing and eradicating Money Laundering.

MECHANISMS OF ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION IN CONFLICT AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION IN INDONESIA
Authors: Subrata Rusli
Published: May 2023

According to Aristotle, man is a “zoon politicon" meaning that humans essentially always want to interact in society. However, this view is different from Thomas Hobbes who mentioned that human nature, namely "homo momini lupus", meaning that humans are wolves to other humans. Man's desire to meet his needs often causes problems. The process of solving legal problems in Indonesia can be classified into two categories: litigation or non-litigation (alternative dispute resolution Undang-Undang No. 30 Tahun 1999 on Arbitrase dan Alternatif Penyelesaian Sengketa provides a new perspective on problem resolution, but the law only addresses a problem in the form of a dispute, whereas problem can also become conflict. In addition, people often hold the view that dispute resolution through alternative dispute resolution is only a matter of civil matters. This research uses the Doctrinal Legal Research Method. This research will discuss and draw conclusions about what is the difference between dispute and conflict and its relation to alternative dispute resolution? As well as how to resolve disputes and legal conflicts in Indonesia in the perspective of alternative dispute resolution?.

Authors: Bolarinwa Mojisola A. , Adeyemi Abdulrahman A. , Kassim Oluwasolamidotun E.
Published: May 2023

Epileptic power supply in Nigeria has caused hindrances to her growth. Electricity is required for technological advancement and economic growth, as business transactions and most activities depend on its availability. This work was aimed at developing a prototype hydropower plant for use in riverine area(s) for electricity generation. Using Autodesk inventor software, the required turbine was designed and thereafter fabricated and assembled appropriately with all necessary components. Stress analyses (Von Mises, first, and third principal stresses) were also conducted to determine the turbine load bearing capacity. The e system was fitted into the edge of a stream (with minimum debris and cataract to prevent and reduce the blades from wear and tear) and arranged such that the blades were at an appropriate angle of attack to capture the water's kinetic energy. The turbine possessed eight blades, designed and fabricated to function in a river with low volume. On assembling the turbine with frame, gears, ball bearing and shaft, a pico-hydropower plant was developed. Stress analyses indicated Von Mises; first; and third principal stresses to respectively be: (0.00000498617; -0.00316625; and -0.0259764) MPa for minimum values and (0.0382339; 0.0452009; and 0.00873272) MPa for maximum values, indicating that the turbine can withstand operating conditions like pressure, force and friction. On testing, voltage readings were 0.90, 0.93, 0.96, 0.98 and 1.00 volts respectively. It was found to be portable and economical. The locally developed hydropower plant will be useful for solving electrification problems in rural areas, farm settlements and off-grid homes.

Published: May 2023

This study aimed to examine the ultrasonographic characteristics of the mammary gland in post-partum ewes (1 to 4 weeks after lambing) of varying genotypes for correlations with the chemical composition of milk. Ultrasonograms of mammary glands in coronal (C) and sagittal (S) planes were obtained using 5.0- and 7.5-MHz transducers from four polish mountain (PMt) and six Olkuska (Olk) ewes. Computerized image analyses of all images have been performed to determine pixel intensity (numerical pixel values – NPV) and heterogeneity (pixel standard deviation – PSD) of the mammary gland stroma/parenchyma. In PMT ewes examined with the 5.0-MHz probe, the mean NPV-C correlated negatively with C17:0 (margaric acid) and C17:1 C10 (heptadecenoic acid). Furthermore, NPV-s correlated negatively with C17:0 content of milk. In PMT ewes examined with the 7.5-MHz transducer, the mean NPV-S correlated positively with the crude fat and total solids, and negatively with C18:3 c9, C12, C15 (N-3) (α-linoleic acid) content of milk samples, while PSD-S correlated positively with C16:0 (palmitic acid) and negatively with lactose. In the scans obtained with the 5.0-MHz in olk sheep, the mean NPV-C was directly related to C10:1 (decanoic acid), C14:1 (myristoleic acid), C16:1 iso (iso-hexadecanoic acid), C16:1 C9 (palmitoleic acid), and c18:0 (stearic acid) content; the mean psd-c correlated positively with total solids, c14:1, C15:0, C16:0, C16:1 iso, C16:1 C9, ClA (conjugated linoleic acids), and total saturated fatty acid content, and negatively with C18:1 C11 (N-7) (cis-vaccenic acid), C18:2 C9, C12 (n-6) (linoleic acid), and total polyunsaturated fatty acid content of milk; and the mean psd-s correlated directly with ash and total saturated fatty acid content of the milk. Lastly, the mean NPV-C of images recorded with the 7.5-MHz probe in olk ewes related directly to ash and C12:0 (lauric acid); the mean NPV-S related directly to ash and C16:1 iso; the mean PSD-C correlated positively with ash and total saturated fatty acid (SFA) content, and the mean PSD-S correlated positively with the total SFA. Echotextural attributes of the mammary gland in ewes have the makings of the technique for determining milk content of certain chemical constituents in a breed-specific manner; however, further studies are needed to verify the usefulness of echotextural analyses of the udder to consistently predict complete milk composition.
Morphological and Molecular Characterization of Filenchus multistriatus n. sp. (Tylenchomorpha: Tylenchidae) and Data on a Known Species of the Genus from Bushehr Province, Southern Iran
Authors: Monemi Somayeh , Atighi Mohammad Reza , Abolafia Joaquín , Castillo Pablo , Pedram Majid
Published: May 2023

During a nematological survey in southern Iran, a population belonging to the family Tylenchidae was recovered from a tomato field in Bushehr province. The recovered population belongs to the genus Filenchus, was described and illustrated herein as F. multistriatus n. sp. It is mainly characterized by having a wide and low annulated lip region continuous with adjacent body; amphidial openings confined to the labial plate; four lines in lateral fields forming three bands, with the two outer bands broken by transverse, and the inner one broken by both transverse and longitudinal lines; and median bulb oval with visible valve and elongate-conoid tail uniformly and gradually narrowing toward the distal region, ending in a widely rounded tip. Its morphological and morphometric differences with three closely similar species were discussed. The phylogenetic relationships of the new species with other relevant genera and species were reconstructed using partial sequences of small, and large subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU and LSU rDNA) sequences. Morphometric and morphological data were also provided for an Iranian population of F. sandneri recovered from Bushehr province. Both populations were characterised using SEM data.
GLOBAL AND LOCAL BRANDS: DISTINGUISHING PERCEPTIONS FROM ORIGIN
Authors: OZTURAN Peren
Published: May 2023

Purpose: This study aims to (1) disentangle the relationship between brand origin (global vs. local) and brand perceptions (perceived brand globalness, PBG vs. local iconness, LI), and (2) investigate how consumer ethnocentrism moderates these model pathways.

Design/methodology/approach: We utilize a multi-method approach in two complementary studies, a survey (N=253) and an experiment (N=148).

Findings: We find that brand origin (global vs. local) and perceptions (PBG vs. LI) are distinct constructs that need to be accounted for separately in brand evaluation models. We show that the routes to purchase intentions (PIs) differ across global and local origin brands. PBG has a positive relationship with perceived brand quality and prestige but only for global origin brands. In contrast, for local origin brands, LI plays a crucial role via positive relationships to perceived brand quality and prestige. Consumers prefer brands to stay true to their brand origin. Ethnocentrism dampens both the PBG-PI and LI-PI relations only for global origin brands. Neither PBG nor LI seems to trigger PIs for ethnocentric consumers for global origin brands.

Originality/value: We show that the routes to PIs differ across global and local origin brands. Brand managers should stay true to the origins of their brands (global/local) in building their brands’ globalness/localness perceptions since consumers prefer a fit between origin and perceptions.

Consumo de agua industrial en el Bajío: un análisis por Zona Metropolitana, 2008-2013
Authors: Velázquez Villalpando Maritza Areli , Valdez Peña Sergio Ivvan
Published: May 2023

El análisis de las zonas metropolitanas en diversos indicadores de desempeño económico y de sustentabilidad, como la productividad y el consumo de agua a nivel industrial, es un tema poco explorado en estudios aplicados en México. Ello se debe en gran medida por la falta de datos oficiales que permitan hacer este tipo de análisis. En el presente estudio se utilizó el volumen concesionado de agua por tipo de industria y otras variables económicas. Se exponen algunos indicadores como la especialización, la productividad y el consumo de agua, entre otros. Se consideran catorce zonas metropolitanas del Bajío en México, con el objetivo de caracterizar a la región en varios indicadores. Por mencionar algunos hallazgos sobresalientes, se pone en evidencia que existe una polarización al interior del Bajío, donde las zonas metropolitanas como León, San Luis Potosí y San Juan del Río son las más productivas y con mejor aprovechamiento de agua en la industria, mientras que la zonas metropolitanas de La Piedad, Morelia y Zamora se mantienen a la zaga en cuanto desempeño económico y sustentable, situación que las pone en una mayor vulnerabilidad en el largo plazo y compromete la dinámica competitiva que caracteriza a toda la región Bajío.

'Voyageur of worlds’, master of none.
Authors: Macdonald Eva
Published: May 2023

Masterminded by Jesuit Superior Paul Le Jeune, the imposition of both Francisation and conversion through Jesuit education initiatives had a significant impact on the Innu and Wendat nations in the seventeenth century. Yet, the extent to which the Jesuit education programmes between 1630 and 1670 clashed with Indigenous culture is still heavily debated amongst historians.This essay will argue that Jesuit education initiatives clashed with Innu and Wendat culture to a greater extent regarding teaching methods and curriculum and yet, will also highlight isolated pockets of accommodationist attitudes. Whilst this essay will also examine the Ursuline nuns, it will primarily analyse Jesuit education methods, curriculum and accommodation towards Innu and Wendat boys. Overall, despite predominantly targeting young boys, the content and approach of Le Jeune’s religious education policies had significant repercussions throughout Innu and Wendat society, regardless of gender or age.

Walking with Sky Woman
Authors: Mitchell George
Published: May 2023

This essay seeks to explore various visual representations of Sky Woman across cultures and time, and what they may reveal about ways of being in the world. As stories, and creation stories in particular, inform who and how we are, they hold tremendous import on various social phenomena. Through the comparison of stories of Sky Woman with the Christian Book of Genesis, this essay will examine both the overt and covert teachings inlayed within these creation stories, and the legacies such teachings leave behind. While the Book of Genesis lays out a world of hierarchies, competition, alienation from nature, and the deprivileging of women, stories of Sky Woman hold teachings of responsibility, respect, balance, and the empowerment of women. Through such stark comparison, it becomes clear how creation stories inform ways of being in the world, as well as the implications such perspectives have. For example, through stories of Sky Woman, Indigenous womanhood is held as sacred and empowered. Teachings of cooperation and balance intrinsic to Sky Woman’s story emphasize cooperation between and balance amongst genders within Indigenous communities. Further, Sky Woman is often depicted as the original Mother and therefore positions motherhood as a source of strength, creation, and life-giving. As such, Indigenous motherhood resists patriarchal forms of mothering that rest on understandings of sacrifice and submission.[1] Further, in understanding the land as Sky Woman herself, land necessarily becomes feminine, alive, and capable of storytelling. As such, land becomes relation, an integral source of self, and an important site of healing, all of which necessitate its caretaking. Contemporarily, Sky Woman’s teachings are used as a tool of resurgence, female empowerment, and decolonization, with an emphasis on the future of Indigenous peoples. As is revealed in the paintings this essay explores, Sky Woman embodies the past, present, and future to inform a way of being in the world that is guided by cooperation, respect, balance, and importantly, the feminine.

Our Similarities Transcended Our Differences
Authors: Carson Kathryn
Published: May 2023

The Third World Women’s Alliance (TWWA) was an activist organization born from the struggles of Black women in the social movements of the 1960s. Founded in response to the misogyny of the American Civil Rights Movement and racism in the Women’s Liberation movement, Black women sought to create an organization that championed issues specific to their experiences. The TWWA was unique in its approach to activism, operating under “Triple Jeopardy,” an understanding that women of colour were oppressed at the intersection of race, gender, and class, and sought to unite women from around the world through a collective understanding of oppression. Emerging out of their marginalization within other movements for social justice, the TWWA developed a unique intersectional and internationalist ethos and organizing strategies rooted in their lived experiences that would have a profound impact on contemporary activist movements.
Ever-Expanding Liberty
Authors: Cohen Sophia
Published: May 2023

Contemporary American politicians are known to invoke "liberty" and/or "freedom" to justify their enactment of imperial policies. The rhetorical utilization of these "American values" is far from a recent development. The Spanish-American War of 1898, despite having been a short-lived conflict of less than a year, is significant in understanding the construction of America as a moral empire. Anchoring themselves in Jefferson’s “Empire of Liberty” and in the concept of Manifest Destiny, imperialists utilized the language of liberty to justify not only America’s entrance into the conflict, but also its further domination of Cuba. In spite of having waged war under the banner of Cuba Libre, Americans curtailed the liberty of Cubans, acting as arbiters of liberty and of Cuba’s destiny.

Objective:
This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) post-COVID-19 pandemic among healthcare workers (HCWs) in pediatric emergency departments in Maternity and Children Hospital in Al-Qassim, Saudi Arabia.
Methods:
This cross-sectional study was conducted among HCWs working in the pediatric emergency department in the Maternity and Children Hospital in Al-Qassim Region, Saudi Arabia. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed among the HCWs using an online survey. The questionnaire included socio-demographic characteristics, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to measure sleep quality, and the Impact of Event Scale (IES-R) to measure HCWs\' PTSD.
Results:
Of the 107 HCWs, 87.9% were females, and 56.1% were aged between 25 to 35 years. Around 29% of pediatric emergency HCWs were considered to have PTSD symptoms. Poor sleep quality was detected in 61.7% of HCWs. There was a significant association between PTSD symptoms and all domains of PSQI, including the total PSQI score. However, no significant relationship was observed between the level of PTSD and all socio-demographic variables.
Conclusion:
The prevalence of PTSD symptoms among pediatric emergency HCWs was 29%. PTSD greatly influences sleep quality, but there was no relevance with HCWs demographic profiles. Further longitudinal studies are necessary to establish the prevalence of PTSD and its effect on the sleep quality of HCWs in the study region.

Effect of Core Geometry on Earth Dam Slope Stability
Authors: Aziz Yaseen , Ibrahim Arkan , MohammedAmin Osama K.
Published: May 2023

Embankment dams are widely constructed due to their suitability with different types of foundation, and it is constructed from the available material at the site. A zoned earth dam consists of a clay core at the center to control seepage supported by a shell. This paper investigated the impacts of side slopes, top width, and shape on upstream and downstream slope stability during different cases. Slide 6.0 software was used to evaluate the factor of safety of side slopes of an earth dam, and its result was validated. Different side slopes range from 0H:1V to 2 H:1V, and crest widths from 3m to 10 m were examined. In addition, for the slanting core case, several cases with varying angles of inclination were provided. The results indicated that by increasing the side slopes of the core, the factor of safety was reduced, especially in the steady state and rapid drawdown conditions. Increasing the top width also reduced the safety factor in the steady state condition. This reduction was because the core material had lower shear strength than the shell material. In addition, in a steady state and rapid drawdown conditions, the cohesion of core material sharply reduced. Compared with the vertical case, increasing the slanting core slopes influenced the slope stability insignificantly during the steady state. The slanting core had benefits in the steady state when the reservoir was full since, in this case, increasing core side slopes affected the slope stability insignificantly. The maximum core side slope in the earth dam and maximum top width, which insignificantly affected the dam’s slope stability, were 0.8:1 and 5 m, respectively.

The Iran-(Israel) conflict has had a great impact on the regional environment in the Middle East. This conflict has been going on for decades and has been characterized by mistrust and permanent hostility. The Iran-(Israel) conflict has led to a growing sense of insecurity in the region, as the two sides have engaged in proxy wars and cyberattacks. And other forms of aggression, which constituted in this conflict hypotheses or points of vulnerability and weakness in the regional environment, as other countries in the region drifted into the conflict and got involved in crises as a result of this conflict. In the end, it became highly influential and highly reflective of what the strategic reading of the conflict’s dialectics aspires to.
Environmental security and international responsibility in international politics

Published: May 2023

Environmental security has become one of the main pillars of international security, and environment and climate issues have become at the forefront of issues that are addressed and focused on in various international discussions, due to the importance of these issues and their vitality for man. During the past three decades, environmental problems have become defining many global trends in  In light of the environmental problems that have exacerbated as a result of the self-interests of states and the desire to expand the economy as well as contemporary consumer behavior, environmental security has strengthened ways to confront environmental challenges and problems exacerbated by these problems, as countries have come to see that environmental threats and climate change can lead to catastrophic results.  On the security of states, therefore, it has become keen to address environmental problems collectively and activate collective diplomatic action, because states are no longer able to unilaterally confront environmental changes, and this is due to the increase in environmental problems and their significant development. Environmental security has become obligatory for states to modify their behaviour in a manner consistent with the necessary and required treatments in order to confront environmental risks. At the same time, many countries and countries have sought international organizations to focus on issues that are at the core of important positions such as environmental securitization and environmental terrorism resulting from abnormal behaviours of environmental defenders who have created wrong practices in defending the environment, which constitutes an opposite proposition in environmental security.
The Reality and Future of Parliamentary Experience in Iraq after 2003
Authors: Ali Khalaf Saleh , Khalaf Motaz Ismail
Published: May 2023

Parliamentary systems are the most prevalent form of government worldwide today, such as in Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan, India, and others. However, there are countries that adopt political systems different from those mentioned, such as the presidential system in the United States of America and the assembly system in Switzerland. Nevertheless, most parliamentary systems have their origins in the British parliamentary experience, which was used as a model in establishing their powers and managing public affairs.

The reality of the parliamentary experience in Iraq is one of the parliamentary experiences in the countries of the Global South that reflects a societal reality different from parliamentary experiences in emerging parliamentary democracies, as it is a young experience after 2003. It was established and developed in a historical context, political instability, and insecurity that Iraq witnessed after 2003, under the authority of the American occupation. The clear shortcomings in this parliamentary experience are attributed to historical circumstances, the pressures of the American occupation, and the newness of the experience.

Therefore, it was necessary for us to examine the reality of the Iraqi parliamentary experience after 2003, in terms of its characteristics, legislation, oversight, and its challenges, as well as evaluating the work of governments, and looking at the future prospects of the experience.
