Many aquatic plants grow in these rivers, one of which is the lotus. Lotus (Nymphaea) is a plant that often lives in the swamplands of South Kalimantan, especially Banjarmasin. The lotus is a wild plant in its natural habitat, which is not foreign to Indonesian people. Some Indonesian people only know about the beauty of this plant. It turns out that apart from its beauty, the lotus also has benefits for curing various diseases. The lotus plant can also be used as medicine because it contains several different chemical ingredients in each part. This research aims to determine the antioxidant activity of extracts from various parts of the White Lotus plant (Nymphaea nouchali L) using the DPPH method. The plant parts tested include: flower parts, flower stalks, leaves and petioles. Based on the research results, the highest antioxidant activity test was found in flower extract, namely with an IC50 value of 66.906 μg/mL, and the lowest was found in leaf extract, namely with an IC50 value of 99.449 μg/mL. Quercetin as a comparison standard has an IC50 value of 6.337 μg/mL with a "very strong" antioxidant activity category, while flower extract, flower stalk extract, leaf extract and leaf stalk extract have a "strong" antioxidant activity category.
School Leadership
Authors:   Education Leadership Consultancy, Phil Budgell
Published: September 2023

In this paper, the principle of subsidiarity – that agency and choice should be delegated to the local level – is introduced. In education, it is proposed that: – far greater responsibility should be delegated to School Leadership Teams; and that; – successful Leadership in education requires a balance of principle (the moral basis of the school), purpose (the core business of the school) and people (social relationships in the school). A clear distinction is then drawn between leadership (complexity), management (clarity) and administration (consistency). This is followed by a discussion on distributed leadership, the idea that the leadership role is not confined to the Senior Leadership Team; but should, for example, involve subject leaders. Finally, the idea of Governance is introduced: a process whereby a legally constituted team of local partners support and challenge the School Leadership Team; helping them to fulfil their responsibility for the leadership and management of the school.

This report examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the structure of the four main morning blocks in Bulgaria – “The Day Begins” on BNT, “Hello, Bulgaria” on Nova Television, “This Morning” on BTV and “Bulgaria Morning” on Bulgaria ON AIR. The purpose of the report is to track how the content and structure of the four morning television blocks changes due to the impact of the pandemic over a period of two years (from 2020 to 2023). When choosing the methodology for conducting the research, the nature of the set goal is taken into account, adhering to the principles of high ethics and efficiency of quantitative and qualitative indicators and criteria. The results highlight the different methods used to change the structure and content of morning TV blocks in the covid period. In conclusion, it is clear that each of the television stations has taken different ways to deal with the covid crisis without depriving the audience of information on all current topics in our country and around the world. Despite the imposed change of operation, all four morning television blocks retain their structure of topics and guests, all relying on a rotating change of presenters and online conversations via video link.

Elucidating the Role of Hydrocarbons in Cinnabar (HgS) Ore Formation: A Model for Hg Mineralization in the Terlingua Mining District, Big Bend National Park, SW Texas
Authors: Taras Bryndzia L.
Published: September 2023

The genetic relationship between organic-rich source rocks and Hg deposits remains the subject of debate. This paper evaluates the role of organic-rich source rocks in cinnabar ore formation in the Terlingua mining district, Texas, which was deposited at relatively shallow depths in Cretaceous sedimentary rocks spatially related to intrusive alkali igneous rocks.

The mineralization formed at ~45 bar and ~200°C. The aqueous ore-forming fluid had a pH of ~5 to 7 and was H2S saturated. Cinnabar was deposited as a result of H2S oxidation through mixing and cooling with local meteoric water. Both Hg0(org) and Hg0(aq) species were likely important in cinnabar ore formation. However, recent studies on the solubility of Hg0 in hydrocarbons show that at cinnabar saturation, Hg0 is more than an order of magnitude more soluble in hydrocarbons (Hg0(org) = 163 mg/kg) than Hg0 in water (Hg0(aq) = 10.8 mg/kg). Despite their proximity in some deposits, conditions of ore formation of the rare Hg oxychloride and sulfate minerals are not compatible with conditions under which most cinnabar ores formed, requiring fO2 conditions orders of magnitude more oxidizing, a relatively high chloride ion activity (>10–1), and alkaline conditions, with pH > 10.

Mass dependent fractionation versus mass independent fractionation of Hg isotope data from Hg-bearing minerals in Terlingua support a genetic link to the source of Hg being the organic-rich marls and tuffaceous black shales of the Lower Eagle Ford Formation. This source rock is chronostratigraphically equivalent to the Lower Cretaceous oceanic anoxic event (OAE-2), which defines the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary. OAE-2 represents the culmination of a global anoxic ocean event at ~94.1 Ma, believed to be a consequence of volcanic activity associated with a large igneous province. Mercury was sequestered by the organic-rich source rocks of the Lower Eagle Ford Formation and associated coeval ash and tuffs.

Tabular igneous bodies that intruded and uplifted the local stratigraphy formed the Terlingua monocline and provided a source of heat for hydrothermal activity and maturation of organic matter. The subsequent generation and migration of liquid hydrocarbons and formation brines from the Lower Eagle Ford Formation transported Hg0(org) updip toward the hinge line of the Terlingua monocline where mixing with oxygenated meteoric water and subsequent oxidation of H2S produced the cinnabar-rich ores.

Our research addresses the Sierra Leonean government’s need to optimise and validate an effective model for in-service TPD. As noted, a distributed TPD model is favoured (building on the World Bank’s Free Education project and the Sierra Leone Education Attendance Monitoring System (SLEAMS), using a ‘one-tablet-per-school’ (OTPS) model). Evidence indicates that this low-tech approach to TPD can improve learning outcomes in emergencies (⇡Haßler, et al., 2019). In contrast, COVID-19 interventions that focus on ‘remote learning for children’ are catastrophically failing (⇡Asadullah, 2020; ⇡Asanov, et al., 2020; ⇡BRAC, 2020; ⇡Le Nestour, et al., 2020; ⇡Uwezo Kenya, 2020). Our research provides crucial and timely evidence to shore up current government plans for a scalable, effective TPD intervention. Our research identifies whether this TPD model addresses the needs of rural / disadvantaged teachers. Our study focuses on a sample of teachers and students from schools in rural / semi-rural areas to understand whether and how school-based TPD initiatives promote student learning (as an alternative to traditional centralised and cascade models). Such traditional models are severely disrupted by COVID-19, highlighting our study’s relevance to education continuity in emergencies.
Wellbeing: An economic psychology perspective
Authors: Doyle Leitrim
Published: September 2023

Wellbeing plays a key role in economic psychology, illustrating how psychological mechanisms impact on economic factors. Wellbeing is vital for occupational psychologists as it allows for the development of interventions to protect and improve workers health. The contribution of economic psychology has received little attention within occupational psychology to improve the measurements of individual wellbeing. The aim of this commentary paper was to bring forward a call to action of two methods that have been used in economic psychology that occupational psychologists can adopt to better measure wellbeing. This commentary paper is based on the insights of Kirchler and Hoelzl (2018) and both time-sample diaries and day reconstruction methods. The analysis showed that by using time-sample diaries, occupational psychologists could better understand the current mood, current mental state and objective characteristics of worker situations. This commentary article identified that by using day reconstruction method, occupational psychologists can have a better insight into employee experiences and feelings in a timely manner. This commentary article recommends that by using insights from economic psychology, occupational psychologists can better measure the wellbeing of workers using time-sample diaries and day reconstruction methods. The paper should, therefore, be of value to scholars and practitioners wishing to improve wellbeing.

Cancer remains a formidable challenge in our modern society, and breast cancer has emerged as the most prevalent form of cancer among women worldwide. Timely detection of breast cancer holds immense potential for improving the lives of countless women globally. In this comprehensive review, we delve into the multifaceted factors that contribute to the prevalence of breast cancer among women from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. We explored the intricate interplay of genetics, lifestyle choices, and environmental influences that contribute to breast cancer susceptibility. Additionally, we discussed the well-established screening methods, particularly mammography, which has revolutionized the early detection of breast cancer. Moreover, we highlight the advancements in the development of biomarkers that offer a simple and convenient alternative to overcome the limitations of mammography. Furthermore, we examine the pivotal role that artificial intelligence plays in enhancing breast cancer detection, presenting its potential to revolutionize diagnostic approaches and improve overall outcomes. Through this review, we aim to provide valuable insights into the various aspects of breast cancer detection, facilitating informed decision-making and advancing the fight against this formidable disease.
Corporate Sustainability and Firm Value: Evidence from China
Authors: Yang Yiqi
Published: September 2023

In recent years, sustainable development has become a hot topic globally, and more and more people are realizing the crucial importance of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in corporate decision-making and long-term development. Using the sample from China, we testify whether corporate sustainability have effect on firm value. We find that corporate sustainability improves firm value, as it reduces the information risks and operating risks. ESG is a win-win measure for both regulators and listed firms, therefore there is a shared interest in ensuring that ESG considerations are integrated into business practices. In theory we enrich the literature on the economic conse-quences of corporate sustainability and complement to the literature on deter-minants of firm value. In practical significance, this study provides implica-tions for both government and listed firms to focus on ESG.

Sustainable utilisation and management of honey as a non-wood forest product - A case study in Southern Western Ghats, Kerala, India
Authors: Nair Maya , Nair P.
Published: September 2023

Among Non-Wood Forest Products (NWFPs), honey is of value, by virtue of its food and medicinal attributes, without in anyway affecting the bio-diversity of forest systems. Its production and extraction in normal conditions do not adversely affect species composition, population structure and regeneration of forest ecosystems. It is a natural non-wood resource, with a multidirectional value to both the honey bee and man.
Of the total production of honey in India, 50% come from natural forests. Even though Kerala comes first in production of honey in India, it is estimated that only 10% of the total honey produced in the forests of Kerala are collected and made use of. Forest dependent people who collect honey from the forests of Kerala do not consider it as a reliable and predictable source of income to supplement their livelihood. They are ignorant of the potential the forests hold for them with regard to honey and other bee products. In this background, a case study has been undertaken covering five Kani Tribal settlements in Thiruvananthapuram District of Kerala with the aim of gaining knowledge on the problems and prospects of sustainable management of honey.
Professional Identity for Nursing Students: Development and Enhancement in the Academy
Authors: De La Fosse Kara Rebecca
Published: September 2023

Establishing a professional identity in nursing school proves challenging as imposter syndrome comes into the equation. There are defining moments when students feel like a “real nurse”, unique and individualized to the scholars. Incorporating nursing core values through interaction with cohort members, patients during clinical rotations and faculty contribute to students formulating nursing students’ professional identity (Pullen, 2021). Nursing faculty play an integral role in supporting students’ journey defining identity, academic success, and program completion. Developing professional identity in nursing school requires the examination of personal values, integrity, and experience attributed to formulating personal and professional identities.

HASTANE ÖNCESİ YAKLAŞIMI ETKİLEYEN BİR PARAMETRE: KAPİLLER LAKTAT ÖLÇÜMÜ
Authors: KARTAL GÜNEN Hilal
Published: September 2023

Laktat, genellikle anaerobik metabolizmanın yan ürünü olarak hipoperfüzyon durumlarında yükselen ve doku hipoksisini belirlemede kullanılan önemli bir parametredir. Günümüzde sağlık hizmeti veren kurumlarda özellikle de acil servislerde hastalardaki laktat düzeyinin belirlenmesi büyük önem taşımaktadır. Çünkü laktat seviyesindeki artış mortalite ve morbidite hakkında bilgi vermekte bu nedenle hastalara olan acil yaklaşımı önemli ölçüde etkilemektedir. Laktat seviyesi ölçümü hastane ortamında venöz veya arteriyel yapılmaktadır. Son yıllarda ise laktat seviyesini ölçmek basit ve hızlı bir hale gelmiştir. Portatif cihazlar ile parmak ucu kapiller laktat ölçümü yapılabilmektedir. Özel beceri gerektirmeden hastane öncesinde de laktat değerini belirlemeye olanak sağlayan portatif kompakt laktat analizörleri geliştirilmiştir. Bu analizörlerin hastane öncesi kritik durumdaki hastaların hızlı tespit edilmesine ve sağlık profesyonellerine triyajda doğru karar almalarına yol gösterici olabileceği bildirilmektedir. Ülkemizde henüz acil yardım ambulanslarında bu cihazlar kullanılmamaktadır. Yurt dışında ise portatif kompakt laktat analizörlerinin ambulanslarda bulunmasının ve laktatın uyarıcı ve yönlendirici bir biyobelirteç olarak kabul edilmesinin önemi vurgulanmaktadır.

Military-Technical Cooperation between the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of India
Authors: Nazaryan Hayk
Published: September 2023

Diplomatic relations between the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of India were established on August 31, 1992. Last year political-economic relations between the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of India grew fast, which also contributed to the development of military-technical cooperation between the two states. Especially, military-technical cooperation grew in 2022. This is determined by the fact, that after the invasion of the Russian armed forces of Ukraine, the Russian Federation cannot realize military contracts of supplying armament to Armenia. As a result, Armenia is trying to find other suppliers for recovering its heavy losses of military equipment, during the 44-day war. At the same time, India has been making focused efforts to increase defense exports in the scope of the ‘Make in India’ program. In fact, Armenia becomes the main importer of Indian-made weapons. The military-technical cooperation between the two states creates a possibility for Armenia to get access to new military technologies, including western advanced technologies, which are used to develop the military-industrial complex of India

Academic Self-Efficacy, Study Skills and Academic Achievement: A Serial Mediation Model
Authors: DADANDI İbrahim
Published: September 2023

Educational achievement is crucial determinant of one’s future career opportunities and plays a critical role in the psycho-social development. Identifying the factors that influence academic achievement is essential for developing effective interventions and strategies to enhance students' learning outcomes. This study aims to investigate the serial mediation role of study skills (systematic and organized study, and effective homework and exam preparation) in the relationship between academic self-efficacy and academic achievement. A group of 92 secondary school students completed the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale as well as two sub-scales from the Study Skills Scale: systematic and organized study, and effective homework completion and exam preparation. The findings of the study revealed positive correlations among all variables. Furthermore, the serial mediation analysis demonstrated that the skills of systematic and organized study, and effective homework and exam preparation serially mediated the relationship between academic self-efficacy and academic achievement. These results suggest that interventions, implementations, and policies that aim to strengthen students’ perception of academic self-efficacy and improve their study skills can contribute to the academic achievement and other student outcomes.

Objective: The aim of this study was to summarize the main features of spontaneous uterine rupture in primigravid patients before the onset of labor, emphasize the possibilities of therapeutic conduct, and offer points of reflection on the post-rupture management. Methods: We performed a literature review of all the individual case reports, retrospective case series, and reviews concerning uterine rupture in peer-reviewed journals from January 1975 to October 2021. Results: The diagnosis of uterine rupture was commonly made by abdominal pain, with or without concomitant nausea and vomiting. Uterine ruptures occur more frequently at the end of pregnancy or in the third trimester. The most frequently involved site is the uterine cornua followed by the posterior wall of the uterus. Other described cases identify the broad ligament, uterus sacral ligament, lower uterine segment, and anterior wall as possible points of rupture. The most frequently used suturing technique is the repair of the breach in two layers. Conclusion: Uterine rupture is an extremely rare obstetric emergency, correlated to life-threatening consequences for both the newborn and the woman. Considering the maternal and fetal risks, a tempestive diagnosis is mandatory.

After 20◦weeks of gestation, pre-eclampsia is characterized by newly developing hypertension. Preventative interventions only moderately lower a woman’s risk of pre-eclampsia due to its prevalence, the risk variables that have been found to be accurate in predicting its beginning, and the occurrence of pre-eclampsia. The signs and symptoms typically become visible toward the end of pregnancy (late second to early third trimester). Some of these tests are straightforward, while others are invasive; some have undergone significant research, while others are still being investigated in clinical settings. Pre-eclampsia has been linked, in particular, to cardiovascular sequelae in the fetus, such as hypertension and impaired vascular function. In our project, a system and an algorithm for evaluating the health status of pregnant women are proposed. Pre-eclampsia can cause major diseases and issues during pregnancy; thus, the system’s goal is to diagnose the condition early and monitor its risk. Our research examines the diagnostic options for early risk assessment to identify pregnant women at high risk for pre-eclampsia and the possible advantages for the women, the unborn child, and health-care systems. A system like this will be widely used in clinical obstetric practice. It is designed to be implemented to monitor pregnant women’s status updates through the Internet of Things based on machine learning.

The purpose of the study was to access the adoption of digitalization tools for accounting purposes by SMEsin Tubah Sub Divsion. Research questions were answered by formulating a set of hypotheses. A quantitative approach was used. Relevant data was collected through structured questionnaire. Subjects for the study consisted of 60 business men selected from the villages that make Tubah Sub Division. The questionnaire was distributed to business men of the locality. SPSS version 26 and Microsoft Excel 2019 has been used to for data analysis. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. The statistical tools were aligned with the objective of the research. For this purpose, cluster bar charts and percentages were computed and substantively interpreted. Inferential statistics like Pearson product correlation coefficient (r) and linear regression were used to determine if there is a significant positive relationship existed between the independent variables (basic accounting software, invoicing software and business bank account) and dependent variables (accounting purposes). Analysis and interpretations were made at 0.05 level of significance. The hypotheses were tested using linear regression which gave a coefficient of determinant (adjusted R2of 0.946) indicating that 94.6% Change in accounting purposes is cause by digitalization tools. Given the fact that the probability corresponding to the F-value is 0.001, it means that we would be taking a 0.01% risk in assuming that the null hypothesis (digitalization tools does not have a significant effect on the accounting purposes of SMEs in Tubah Sub Division) is wrong. The study concluded that digitalization tools has important effect on accounting purposes.

The West is heading toward an economic recession. India, which has emerged as a bright spot in 2022, will find it very difficult to maintain its growth momentum. However, in 2023, the countries of the world will be looking closely at India to increase the growth of the world. Even the World Bank revised its India GDP forecast to 6.9% for FY23 due to strong economic activity. India’s domestic consumption has supported the economy, but India, Asia’s third largest economy, has not been immune to the impact of the global recession. In this study, a predictive analysis has been discussed for the economic development and financial status of India in 2023. India’s central bank in its economic report noted that the balance of risks is tipping toward an increasingly gloomy global outlook and emerging market economies appear to be the most vulnerable. Average per capita income has risen seven times this year compared to 2000. Unemployment fell to 6.34% in September from 8.3% in August 2022. Inflation also stood at 6.01 in January 2022. It fell to 5.88 in November. Foreign exchange reserves stood at.

Published: September 2023

Türkiye’de enflasyonist eğilimler son dönemde en önemli makro ekonomik konulardan biri olmuştur. Yüksek döviz kuru kaynaklı üretim maliyetlerindeki artışlar tüketici enflasyonunu da artırmıştır. Tüketici fiyatlarındaki temel göstergelerden biri de çekirdek enflasyondur. Çekirdek enflasyonun düşürülmesi uygulanan para politikasından başarılı bir sonuç alındığını göstermektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı üretici fiyatlarının uzun dönemde çekirdek enflasyon üzerinde ne derece belirleyici olduğunu araştırmak ve arz yönlü şokların temel fiyat göstergesi üzerindeki kalıcılığını ortaya çıkarmaktır. Bu kapsamda üretici fiyatlarını gösteren Üretici Fiyat Endeksi ile Merkez Bankası tarafından dikkate alınan özel kapsamlı TÜFE göstergesi olan (B) Çekirdek Enflasyon değişkenleri arasındaki uzun dönemli ilişki ARDL yöntemi ile aylık olarak 2003-2023 dönemi için incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın bulgularına göre üretici fiyatlarının çekirdek enflasyonu uzun dönemde kalıcı olarak artırdığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca çekirdek enflasyon üretici fiyatları kaynaklı şoklara kalıcı ve pozitif yönde tepkiler vermektedir.

Análise dos Padrões Sistêmicos Setoriais e Regionais dos Serviços KIBS nos Principais Aglomerados Urbanos do Brasil: uma aplicação de insumo-produto
Authors: Leão Lucas , Silva Cardoso Guilherme , Lopes Afonso Damares
Published: September 2023

A importância relativa dos setores de serviços tem crescido continuamente, diante das transformações sociais, tecnológicas e produtivas das primeiras décadas do século XXI. Tais mudanças estão atreladas ao surgimento do fenômeno denominado servitização, que é a incorporação de serviços de negócios intensivos em conhecimento, os conhecidos “Knowledge-intensive business services” (KIBS), no processo produtivo manufatureiro. Com o objetivo de avaliar o padrão de localização e encadeamento dos setores de serviços KIBS no Brasil, este artigo considera os arranjos populacionais dos 11 maiores aglomerados urbanos do país e aplica os métodos de extração hipotética e os cálculos dos quocientes locacionais nas matrizes de insumo-produto disponibilizadas pela equipe do Núcleo de Economia Regional e Urbana da USP – NEREUS, para 2015. Os resultados revelam que tais serviços se concentram, primordialmente, nas cidades centrais dos arranjos considerados, relativamente às demais cidades dos aglomerados. Além disso, há o indício de haver um efeito servitização local mais evidente nas capitais. O estudo contribui para a literatura internacional e, sobretudo, para a nacional ao propor de forma inédita a exploração dos padrões sistêmicos setoriais e regionais dos KIBS de um país do Sul global, com elevada disparidade regional.
