Published: March 2024

Firms are increasingly striving to improve their value through various corporate strategies as well as exploiting their unique attributes to stimulate value. The extent to which firms create value given their attributes remains a subject of discuss among scholars with mix conclusions. This study therefore investigates the comparative effect of corporate attributes (Firm size, leverage, Institutional ownership, multi-nationality and Research and development) on the value (Tobin’s Q and Market value of equity) of 24 listed Consumer and Industrial goods firms for a period of 14 years (2009-2022). The study utilized a positivist research philosophy and employed correlational research design. Data for the study were quantitatively retrieved from the annual reports and accounts of the firms. Variables were described using descriptive statistics and relationships were ascertained via correlation analysis. Both random effect (FE) and OLS robust regressions were used to analyze the data having carried out some robustness and diagnostic tests. Results from the study revealed firm size, multi-nationality and research and development have significant positive effects on firm value. However, while leverage has significant negative effect on firm value, institutional shareholding effect on firm value was found to be negative and insignificant.

Authors: Tanto Trisnowati , Tanusy Jeanyfer
Published: March 2024

Mr. Prabowo Subianto is often regarded as a controversial figure, both in his military and political career. This research aims to find out Mr. Prabowo Subianto’s representation in one of The New York Times articles entitled “Indonesian General Accused of Kidnapping Is Named Defense Minister”, which was written by Richard C. Paddock in 2019. The article mainly discusses the controversial issue regarding Mr. Joko Widodo’s, the re-elected President of Indonesia, decision to appoint Mr. Subianto, his rival in the presidential election, to be one of his cabinet ministers. In analyzing the topic, van Dijk’s Critical Discourse Analysis, is utilized. Despite the fact that in van Dijk’s CDA there are three levels of analysis, namely the macro, meso, and micro levels, this paper is limited to the micro level only, as this focuses more on unveiling a more specific and detailed portrayal of Mr. Subianto’s representation in the newspaper article. In the microstructure analysis, three linguistics tools are employed, namely actor description, level of description, and rhetoric. The research applies the descriptive qualitative method as well as the library research method. The findings consistently show the negative representation of Mr. Subianto in the macrostructure, microstructure and superstructure analyses.
INTERPERSONAL FUNCTIONS OF THE ENGLISH QUOTES OF MOTIVATION AND THEIR INDONESIAN TRANSLATIONS
Authors: Widiastuti Ni Made Ayu , Rahayuni Ni Ketut Sri
Published: March 2024

This study aims to identify and analyze the mood and modality as the parts of interpersonal metafunction in translation of the English quotes of motivation into Indonesian. The documentation method was applied to collect the source and target language quotes in the forms of clauses, simple or complex sentences. Close reading technique is applied while collecting the quotes to understand the context of the motivational expressions. The collected data were qualitatively analyzed. In order to identify the translation of English quotes of motivation into Indonesian, the parts of sentence structures in the source and target languages were compared. Contrastive linguistics is relevant for this study in order to identify the difference between both languages. The mood and modality as the interpersonal function of the Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) developed by Halliday were applied in analyzing the quotes of motivation. The quotes of motivation in English show the indicative mood, and so do their translations. There are 27 quotes of motivations found. All the quotes belong to the indicative mood, but there is only one quote that has the combination between indicative mood and imperative mood. Indicative mood consists of two sub-categories, they are declarative and interrogative. There is one quote started by a declarative statement, and then followed by the interrogative form, and the rest are declarative sentences. From the modality macro-function, there are eleven quotes in the forms of modal verbs. The quotes of motivation as the modality type show probability since it is given for a specific situation, and it is not used regularly. As the modulation type, it shows the obligation. In terms of the modality values, the high value is used more often than the median value. Most of the translations show similar modality types and modality values, however, there are only two quotes that show different modality types but the same modality values. The change is from the modalization type of probability ‘should’ to the modulation type of obligation ‘must’. The modality type shift does impact the reader’s understanding.

Authors: Rahma Marliana , Rahayu Yayuk Sri
Published: March 2024

Background: Pregnancy is a physiological process, during pregnancy physiological and psychological changes or adaptations occur in pregnant women. These changes can cause discomfort, such as nausea and vomiting. Nausea and vomiting usually occur in the first trimester of pregnancy (0-12 weeks of gestation) with a prevalence of almost 80%. Pregnant women with symptoms of nausea and vomiting can experience hyperemesis gravidarum so that their nutritional intake is disrupted. One way to anticipate and treat nausea and vomiting is through acupuncture therapy, but this therapy is often feared because it requires inserting needles. So acupressure therapy is used, which is a complementary therapy that can be applied to pregnant women by applying pressure to acupuncture points to stimulate the central nervous system through the hypothalamus and limbic system thereby balancing hormones.
Purpose: To determine the effect of using an acupressure wristband at pericardium point 6 in reducing nausea and vomiting in pregnant women.
Method: The type of research used was a pre-post-test experimental design using PC 6 acupuncture points on pregnant women between 6-14 weeks of gestation who experienced nausea and vomiting as many as 30 participants. Research data was collected using the Pregnancy-Unique Quantification of Emesis and Nausea (PUQE) scoring system, which measures the severity of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy within 12 hours.
Results: There is a difference in the PUQE scale before and after using the acupressure wristband at point PC 6. Where before the intervention some participants experienced nausea and vomiting in the moderate NVP category (7-12), namely 15 (50.0%) and severe NVP ≥13.13 (43 .3%). However, after intervention for the intensity of nausea and vomiting, the majority of participants were in the mild NVP category ≤6, 14 (46.7%). This shows that using the PC 6 acupuncture wristband can relieve nausea and vomiting experienced by pregnant women.
Conclusion: Acupressure wristband are effective in preventing nausea and vomiting experienced by pregnant women.

Published: March 2024

The objective of this study is to ascertain Bharada Eliezer's stance on Decision Variety: 798/Pid.B/2022/PN.Jkt.Sel, which pertains to the position of Justice Collaborator police officers, as well as the Police Code of Ethics Decision concerning Bharada Eliezer's police status. This study employs a normative juridical research methodology, together with conceptual and statutory techniques. Essentially, when an individual unlawfully ends another person's life, it constitutes a violation of human rights and a denial of the right to life, particularly when the perpetrator is a law enforcement officer who continues to serve in the police force. However, in this particular case, the judge and the responsible official overseeing the KKEP hearing must take into account the defendant's status as a justice collaborator, who is feared by irresponsible parties and at risk of abuse. Ensure that all personnel of the National Police receive guidance to prevent them from engaging in actions that contravene laws, regulations, and the ethical standards of the police profession, which could damage the reputation of the police organization or agency. It is necessary to revise the requirements and guidelines for justice collaborators due to certain criminal offenses that pose a threat to the state and involve exceptional crimes. Justice collaborators play a crucial role in clarifying initially ambiguous criminal offenses.
The importance of the restorative justice approach in the resolution of medical disputes
Authors: Mawardi Chalik , Zaid M , Kamil Rizqan
Published: March 2024

This research aims to elucidate the imperative nature of employing restorative justice as a viable solution for addressing medical offenses. Within the framework of the Indonesian legal system, medical crimes are classified as criminal offenses that are committed within the scope of the medical profession. Specific laws and regulations prosecute these offenses. This document is the outcome of a normative legal investigation. The study's findings indicate that the law enforcement issue for medical crimes stems from the ambiguous legal provisions outlined in Law 36/2009 about health. Consequently, the enforcement of medical crimes is subject to the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code. Consequently, it can be argued that the distinction between medical crimes and ordinary crimes in the Indonesian context remains unchanged. Moreover, it is crucial to contemplate the implementation of restorative justice as an alternative approach to addressing medical crimes, taking into account the suffering and material damages endured by victims due to the actions of others.

CALCULATION OF CLOSED WET COOLING TOWERS USING MODIFIED Ε-NTU APPROACHES
Authors: Khalatov A.A. , Borisov I.I.
Published: March 2024

Two modified ε-NTU approaches developed for air-to-air indirect contact evaporative coolers have been adapted for calculation of heat/mass transfer in the closed wet cooling towers. These approaches use the analogy between the heat and mass transfer and the linearization of the direct or inverse correlations of moist air enthalpy on the temperature of the wet bulb. The results of calculation based on the modified ε-NTU approaches were compared with the data obtained by the traditional method, using the average logarithmic temperature and concentration differences. The comparison was carried out in terms of heat transfer efficiency according to the temperature of the wet bulb, this temperature is the theoretical limit of the outlet water temperature for this type of heat and mass exchange equipment of the indirect evaporative type. Calculations showed that both ε-NTU approaches demonstrate almost identical results, the possible inconsistency between them may be related to the inaccuracy of linearization. These data agree well with the data of the calculations, which are based on application of the average logarithmic difference of the flow parameters and the empirical dependencies of the heat and mass transfer coefficients. A small discrepancy (up to 7%) occurs with a small flow rate of working water. Bibl. 15, Fig. 5
APPLICATIO STUDY ON KINETICS OF BIOMASS PYROLYSIS IN THE FIXED BED. 1. SIMULATION AND NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF LIGNIN THERMAL DECOMPOSITION
Authors: Rokhman B.B. , Kobzar S.G.
Published: March 2024

A non-stationary model of the biomass thermolysis process was built based on three primary independent parallel reactions of the biomass active part conversion into gas, liquid phase and char, taking into account the secondary reactions of tar decomposition into char and light gas. It is shown that the main role in the production of mixed pyrolysis gas (primary gas and light gas) is played by the light gas generation rate due to the secondary reaction of tar decomposition into light gas. This reaction rate significantly exceeds the primary gas production rate due to the fact that the activation energy of the primary gas formation reaction lignin → gas is higher than the activation energy of the lignin → tar reactions. It was found that the rate of generation of the primary reaction lignin → char significantly outweighs the rate of tar → char production, so the latter reaction can be neglected. It is shown that as the temperature of lignin pellets increases, CO and light hydrocarbon C1.16H4 increase and carbon dioxide CO2 and H2О decrease. The consumption of volatile components in the pyrolyzer depends on the temperature distribution of biomass pellets across the pyrolyzer cross-section, which decreases towards the center of the retort, following the consumption of gaseous components decreases as they approach the axis of the pyrolyzer. The amount of mixed pyrolysis gas released and char depends on the radial coordinate r. At r = 0.047 m and time τ = 380 s, the amount of mixed pyrolysis gas is 90 % and char is 10 %, at r = 0.016 m and τ = 380 s  = 83 % and  = 17 %. Bibl. 13, Fig. 7.

СТРУКТУРА СИСТЕМИ УПРАВЛІННЯ ЯКІСТЮ ОСВІТИ В НАВЧАЛЬНОМУ ЗАКЛАДІ
Authors: Іщук Валентина
Published: March 2024

У статті розглядаються актуальні питання системи управління освіти у закладі загальної середньої освіти, формування управлінських навичок директора у спеціальному закладі загальної середньої освіти для дітей з порушеннями інтелектуального розвитку. Актуальність проблеми зумовлює мету статті: висвітлення теоретичного та практичного досвіду управлінської діяльності керівника як важливої умови забезпечення освітнього процесу у Білоцерківській спеціальній загальноосвітній школі № 19.

У дослідженні, для досягнення поставленої мети, були використані методи аналізу, систематизації та узагальнення матеріалу. Автор зазначає, що справжнього професіонала у сфері освіти вирізняє також вміння системно сприймати педагогічну реальність та системно у ній діяти. Саме ця властивість забезпечує можливість цілісного, структурованого бачення логіки педагогічної системи та полегшує конструювання доцільної діяльності. А особливим видом діяльності керівника закладу загальної середньої освіти є управління якістю освіти, що спрямована на підтримку та підвищення якості та ефективності функціонування всієї галузі та загальноосвітнього, культурного й професійного рівня тих, хто навчається. Під час проведення теоретичного аналізу визначено, що управління якістю освіти означає забезпечення процесу переведення існуючої якості освіти як об’єкта керівного впливу в стан, що характеризується заданими параметрами та обґрунтовані показники якості освіти.

Сферу компетентності працівників управління освітою визначити непросто, адже її діяльність є складною і різноманітною. Сучасний керівник повинен володіти знаннями та навичками в різних напрямах: системі роботи з кадрами, методах управління, технічних, засобах управління, галузі знань з проєктування та раціоналізації структури та технології процесів управління й ін. Отже, проведене теоретичне дослідження спонукає до висновків, що знання, уміння, методи роботи, що сформувалися у більшості керівників у колишніх умовах, стають недостатніми для вирішення нових завдань, що стоять перед школою. Це призводить до необґрунтованого вибору напряму діяльності навчального закладу, надмірного ускладнення організаційної та управлінської структури школи: керівником недостатньо осмислюються провідні ідеї та сучасні тенденції розвитку освіти.

Authors: Sheremeti-Kabashi Flurije , Kutllovci Festim , Mangjolli Besarta , Hasani Alban
Published: March 2024

Purpose.The research purpose is to determine the heavy metal concentrations in the Kelmend tailings landfill, an active landfill of Pb-Zn flotation waste from the Trepça mine located in the Stan Tërg district in northern Kosovo, as well as to assess the soil pollution level. Methods. The data is based on two sampling profiles: profile P1 in the south-west of the tailings landfill with 7 samples and profile P2 in the north-east of the tailings landfill with 5 samples within the framework of the project “Environmental geochemical research of the tailings landfill in Kelmend”, funded by the Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Innovation of the Republic of Kosovo. Each sample was taken according to standards and was analyzed to determine the Pb, Zn, and Mn concentration, as well as pH value. Chemical analyses were performed in the ECCAT-certified laboratory in Tirana, Albania, using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) equipment. Findings. The average concentrations of Pb, Zn and Mn in profile P1 were 1374.27, 564.7 and 1145.71 mg/kg, while in profile P2 – 796.68, 4510.0 and 14396.2 mg/kg. This significantly exceeds the limits of soil contamination according to Administrative Instruction (GRK), as well as the permissible limits for heavy metal content in soil by WHO and EU Directives. The studied samples clearly show a change in pH values in both profiles. In profile P1 the values are lower with an ave-rage value of 3.08 than in profile P2 with an average value of 6.48. This explains the importance and influence of pH on the mobility of heavy metals, especially in soil with acidic pH. Originality. The originality of the research consists of taking 12 samples from two profiles in the Kelmend tailings landfill, chemical analyses to determine heavy metal concentrations in the ECCAT-certified laboratory in Tirana, Albania, and followed by the statistical interpretation of the results. Practical implications.The tailings landfill in Kelmend is located near residential areas and is part of the amazing landscape of Shala of Bajgora. On a regional and local scale, the anthropogenic impact from this landfill remains may have already penetrated deeply into the natural material of the surrounding environment. This work highlights the importance of understan-ding the distribution and risk of toxic metals in sensitive ecosystems.

Data with respect to age, gender, type of odontogenic cyst, clinical and radiographic features of these cysts were analyzed from the data obtained through a customized structured proforma.Results: Out of the total 89 patient, there was male predilection (2.17:1). The most frequent age group was 2nd and 3rd decades. Among diff erent types of odontogenic cysts, radicular cyst (37.1%) was the most common cyst followed by dentigerous cyst (33.7%) and odontogenic keratocyst (27%). The most common aff ected site was posterior mandible (46.1%). Paresthesia was present in 22.5% cases. Unicortical expansion was present in 59.6 % and bicortical expansion in 38.2% cases. Tenderness was present in 50.6% cases and teeth mobility in 28.1% cases. Needle aspiration test was positive in 78.7% cases. Mean size was 32.23mm + 14.53 standard deviation. Unilocular radiolucency was present in 74.2% and multilocular radiolucency in 25.8%. Root resorption was present in 64% cases and impacted tooth was associated with 52.2% odontogenic cysts.Conclusion: It is concluded from this study that odontogenic cysts frequently encountered during 2nd and 3rd decades of life and more common in males with a predilection for the posterior mandible. Radicular cysts are most frequent among the other types of odontogenic cysts. Majority of patients has cortical expansion and positive needle aspiration test. Impacted tooth is associated with all the dentigerous cysts and most of OKC‘s and none of radicular cyst. Odontogenic cysts can reach to a considerable size to involve even half of the mandible.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of poor sleep and factors associated with it among medical and dental students in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.Materials and Methods: A population-based analytical cross-sectional study was carried out from May to September 2022, consisting of 385 undergraduate students from 21 medical and dental colleges. A non-probability convenience sampling technique was employed to assess sleep quality with the help of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Factors associated with poor sleep were determined using binary logistic regression.Results: Among the total, 263 (68.3%) students had poor sleep quality on the PSQI scale. Poor sleep was more likely (OR [95%CI]) among females (2.3 [1.3-3.9]), age≥21years (2.5 [1.1-5.8]), pre-clinical phase (3.1 [1.4-6.5]), BDS students (2.0 [1.1-3.5]), disrupted circadian rhythm (4.2 [2.0-8.6]), and hostelites (1.7 [1.0-2.9]) at signifi cance of P<0.05. Participants’ per day sleep was 5.9hrs (SD=1.2hrs). Regarding PSQI components, the worst performance was noticed in sleep duration (M=1.60, SD=0.95). Of the total, 47 (12.2%) were taking sleep medications, 377 (97.9%) had bedtime phone usage and 242 (62.8%) had no familiarity with “Sleep hygiene”.Conclusion: Findings revealed that poor sleep was prevalent in more than half of the participants. Average sleep duration was suggestive of sleep deprivation indicating for immediate interventions to prevent its potential consequences.

Objective: The objective of this study is to discover out how male and female students at public and private dental colleges in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, assess the impact of faculty members' personality qualities on their educational experiences.

Material and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from May to November 2023, surveying undergraduate dental students of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province about their perceptions of faculty personalities and teaching methods. A customised questionnaire was specially designed to gather data; 124 respondents completed self-administered questionnaires in accordance with ethical requirements. Statistical tests were not conducted in this phase, as the study primarily reports findings in terms of percentages.

Results: The study shows that teacher personality has significant effects on students' learning and engagement. Both male and female students agree about the positive impact of teachers, indicating specific traits that enhance their learning curves. Gender disparities show up, with male students preferring friendliness and female students appreciating empathy more. While males tend to choose interactive and discussion-based teaching approaches slightly more than females do, both genders prefer hands-on, practical training. Interactions between teachers and students are facilitated by positive faculty attributes including approachability, empathy, and openness to student participation. The well-being and self-esteem of students are also influenced by the personalities of the faculty.

Conclusion: In conclusion, educational institutions may improve the learning experiences of both male and female students by identifying and meeting the diverse requirements and preferences of students about the personality qualities of their staff. The study offers insightful information for developing curricula, training faculty, and developing educational policies. Further research should examine the findings' cross-cultural relevance, integrate longitudinal studies, and encourage faculty development to accommodate students' unique needs while concurrently bolstering their mental and overall wellbeing.

Objectives:
This study aims to investigate the radiation safety awareness, attitudes and practice amongst dentists practicing in the U.K and compare them to dentists practicing in Pakistan.
Materials and Methods:
This was an observational and descriptive study utilizing self-reported questionnaires consisting of 15 MCQs distributed electronically to dentists registered with G.D.C. in the U.K. and the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council, P.M.D.C. in Pakistan, and who are currently practising as a dentist in the appropriate country.
Results:
There were 102 respondents from Pakistan and 119 from U.K. Within the U.K 84% reported that they received training regarding radiation protection within the past two years. In Pakistan only 6.9% reported receiving such training. In Pakistan 42.2% felt that the X-Ray equipment was periodically serviced whilst 95% in the U.K.indicated their equipment was periodically serviced. In Pakistan 52% responded that there was a radiation safety plan in place whilst 95.8% of U.K. respondents reported the same. In Pakistan 18% of the operators held the image receptor themselves during intra-oral X-Ray whilst none of the U.K respondents reported doing the same.
Conclusion:
Within Pakistan there is a need for increased training regarding radiation safety for dentists. There is also room for improvement in training U.K. based dentists on radiation protection. There is a risk that Pakistani dentists are exposing themselves to un-necessary levels of radiation which may have long term consequences to their health. Maintenance of X-Ray equipment in Pakistan as well as presence of radiation protection plans are alarmingly low.

Brownies are one of the most popular types of cakes. Diversification efforts are made with mocaf flour combined with composite flour from black soybeans which is applied to making brownies. The purpose of this study is to determine the physical characteristics (color and texture) and sensory values, chemical and functional characteristics. The study was conducted using a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with four treatments and three replications. Each treatment is a comparison of the composition of flour in use in the production of brownies. Among the treatments were: A (100% mocaf flour), B (50% mocaf flour: 50% black soybean flour), C (40% mocaf flour: 60% black soybean flour), and D (60% mocaf flour: 40% Black soybean flour). The results showed that the variation of the mixture of mocaf flour and black soybean flour affected the physical characteristics of brownies with hardness values between 31.37gf - 50.97gf, and L color values ​​between 37.85 - 54.22; value a* 42.99 – 32.62; and the value of b* 21.68 – 12.47. The most preferred brownie formulation is in formulation A with variations of 100% mocaf flour and 0% black soybean flour. In the chemical and functional aspects, the brownie formulation in formula C with a variation of 40% mocaf flour and 60% black soybean flour has a protein value of 15.85%, antioxidant activity of 13.813 g/ml, and a glycemic index value of 46.2 and the glycemic load of both samples belong to the high category.
