Multisite Quality Improvement Initiative to Repair Incomplete Electronic Medical Record Documentation As One of Many Causes of Provider Burnout
Authors: Raney Lauren , McManaman Joanne , Elsaid Mohamed , Morgan Jennifer , Bowman Ronda , Mohamed Ashraf , Russo Carolyn L.
Published: August 2020

PURPOSE:

Provider burnout is a challenge adversely affecting the quality, safety, and cost of health care. We measured burnout among pediatric oncology providers in the St Jude Affiliate network and used a Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) improvement cycle to address one of the factors contributing to burnout.

METHODS:

Within the framework of the ASCO Thematic Quality Training Program, we sent the Mini Z 2.0 Survey to 47 pediatric oncology providers. Applying a fishbone diagram and Pareto chart, we analyzed potential causes of provider burnout. On the basis of the analysis, we used a PDSA approach to address documentation of oral chemotherapy adherence for children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia to mitigate burnout among providers.

RESULTS:

The burnout survey response rate was 44.6%. Burnout was identified in 42.9% of providers. Documentation in the electronic medical record (EMR) was cited as the second most common contributor to burnout, and it was this issue we chose to address according to a priority matrix. We improved the completeness of oral chemotherapy documentation from a baseline of 13% compliance to 87% compliance within 3 months. The improved compliance was achieved by standardizing the documentation process in the EMR for content and location.

CONCLUSION:

The EMR was one of the contributing factors in the burnout survey of the pediatric oncology providers in the St Jude Affiliate network. A PDSA improvement model to improve clinical research documentation was successful in addressing one of several contributing factors to provider burnout.
The New Metacriticisms and the Fate of Interpretation
Authors: Fry Paul
Published: August 2020

Advanced schools of literary research today concur in their disapproval of unscaffolded interpretations of texts that “overhear” the presumed self-communing voices of authors in their solitude. Choosing from among the many antihermeneutic arguments, this essay responds in the main to the “historical poetics” of Virginia Jackson’s Dickinson’s Misery, with its reconsideration of the lyric poem and its place in the canon and reading practices of modern criticism. Neither direct interpretation of a text that lacks focus on its modes of circulation and transmission nor indeed any sort of interpretation at all has been a constant in the history of criticism. Interpretation has coincided only with periods in which literature as “secular scripture” was considered at once culturally important and difficult to understand—and not even always then, as modernist texts aimed to constitute their own interpretations. If poetry is understood as statement embedded in language, and if it is still both important and difficult, perhaps we can reserve a place for interpretations that are not wholly dependent on the mediatic circumstances of which Jackson and others have taught us to be more fully aware.
Historical Poetics and the Dream of Interpretation: A Response to Paul Fry
Authors: Jackson Virginia
Published: August 2020

As a response to Paul Fry’s essay “The New Metacriticisms and the Fate of Interpretation,” this essay asks a few questions: (1) Isn’t “metacriticism” what the twentieth century meant by literary criticism? (2) Why is modern literary criticism so defensive when it comes to lyric poetry? (3) What happens when the historical situation of a lyric literalizes apostrophic address? The answer to the first of these questions is yes. The answer to the second question depends on the critic, but this essay points out that defenses of lyric began in the early nineteenth century, so modern lyric theory continues a long tradition. The white male supremacist foundation of those defenses informs definitions of lyric poetry as utterance overheard, as solitary self-address. Fry is right that historical poetics attempts to rock that two-hundred-year-old foundation. The answer to the third question is that many poets have also rocked that foundation over those two centuries. The essay ends by interpreting an apostrophic ode written and published by George Moses Horton in 1828. Horton’s enslavement in North Carolina literalized the figurative situation of address that has come to define lyric reading.
Mathematical analysis on the dynamics of COVID-19 in India using SIR Epidemic Model
Authors: Khanday MA , Zargar Faizan
Published: August 2020

The Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) outbreak as on 9th July 2020 has invaded around 12.3 million population causing over half a million deaths worldwide and counting. The entire scientific community has joined hands to find a vaccine for this deadly virus that causes the respiratory illness, COVID-19 in humans. To understand the dynamics of this communicable disease and its transmission among the people in India, a mathematical model governed by ordinary differential equations with ap- propriate conditions has been established. The model is based on SIR (Susceptible-Infected-Removed) scheme to understand the behavior of susceptible, infective and removed (both recovered and deceased) population in India. The resulting model equations have been simulated using MATLAB software. The results obtained in this model were interpreted graphically and least squares method was used to predict the transmission rate, recovery rate and mortality rate in the absence of any vaccine/immunization.
Extracorporeal shock wave promotes activation of anterior cruciate ligament remnant cells and their paracrine regulation of bone marrow stromal cells’ proliferation, migration, collagen synthesis, and differentiation

Published: August 2020

Aims

Proliferation, migration, and differentiation of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) remnant and surrounding cells are fundamental processes for ACL reconstruction; however, the interaction between ACL remnant and surrounding cells is unclear. We hypothesized that ACL remnant cells preserve the capability to regulate the surrounding cells’ activity, collagen gene expression, and tenogenic differentiation. Moreover, extracorporeal shock wave (ESW) would not only promote activity of ACL remnant cells, but also enhance their paracrine regulation of surrounding cells.

Methods

Cell viability, proliferation, migration, and expression levels of Collagen-I (COL-I) A1, transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were compared between ACL remnant cells untreated and treated with ESW (0.15 mJ/mm2, 1,000 impulses, 4 Hz). To evaluate the subsequent effects on the surrounding cells, bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs)’ viability, proliferation, migration, and levels of Type I Collagen, Type III Collagen, and tenogenic gene ( Scx, TNC) expression were investigated using coculture system.

Results

ESW-treated ACL remnant cells presented higher cell viability, proliferation, migration, and increased expression of COL-I A1, TGF-β, and VEGF. BMSC proliferation and migration rate significantly increased after coculture with ACL remnant cells with and without ESW stimulation compared to the BMSCs alone group. Furthermore, ESW significantly enhanced ACL remnant cells’ capability to upregulate the collagen gene expression and tenogenic differentiation of BMSCs, without affecting cell viability, TGF-β, and VEGF expression.

Conclusion

ACL remnant cells modulated activity and differentiation of surrounding cells. The results indicated that ESW enhanced ACL remnant cells viability, proliferation, migration, and expression of collagen, TGF-β, VEGF, and paracrine regulation of BMSC proliferation, migration, collagen expression, and tenogenesis.

The Ratio of Sunflower Pollens Foraged by Apis mellifera Is More Than That of Apis cerana Does During Sunflower Blooming
Authors: Yang Huipeng , Sun Jia , Tang Peng , Ma Changsheng , Luo Shudong , Wu Jie
Published: August 2020

Bias foraging of pollen is general in different pollinators since various nutrition demanding, co-evolution and interaction of insect-plant. To clarify the preference of pollen foraging during sunflower blooming, the pollen foraging behaviors of Apis mellifera Linnaeus and Apis cerana Fabricius were observed. Our results displayed that two summits of pollen foraging occurred in the morning before the ambient temperature climbed up to thirty-one degree centigrade and in the afternoon after the ambient temperature decreased below thirty-one degree centigrade, respectively. Notably, the first foraging summit of Apis cerana emerged one hour earlier than that of Apis mellifera. These results imply that Apis mellifera is less resistant to low temperature but more resistant to high temperature than Apis cerana does. The colonies were surrounded by sunflowers with sporadic weeds, while only few maize dispersed over two hundred meters away. However, no more than forty percent of total pollens foraged by Apis mellifera was from sunflower, and which was no more than twenty percent in Apis cerana group. These results suggest that sunflower pollens are not the prior choice for both honey bee species, while the ratio of sunflower pollens foraged by Apis mellifera is more than that of Apis cerana does.

Published: August 2020

A comprehensive green worker ants control method that can be used to replace traditional chemical synthetic insecticides. In this study, the leaves and stems of Gelsemium elegans were extracted with water as the solvent, and the bioactivity of G. elegans against worker ants was determined by the “water tube” method. The bioassay results of insecticidal activity showed that when the time was extended to the 10th day, the mortality of worker ants treated with G. elegans extract reached 55.00% (1/20 leaf extract), 46.67% (1/20 stem extract) and 45.00% (1 mg/kg koumine). And the behavioral impact test results showed that the aggregation rate was reduced to 56.67% (1/100 leaf extract), 60.00% (1/100 stem extract) and 60.00% (0.5 mg/kg koumine); the climbing rate was reduced to 60.00 % (1/100 leaf extract), 58.33% (1/100 stem extract) and 58.33% (0.5 mg/kg koumine). The effect on the walking ability of worker ants is obvious. The walking rate drops to 1.53cm/s (1/100 leaf extract), 1.60cm/s (1/100 stem extract) and 1.47cm/s (0.5 mg/kg koumine). Therefore, we conclude that the water extract of G. elegans can be used for long-term continuous control of worker ants, which can be used to replace traditional chemical synthetic insecticides.
Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) as surrogates for epigeic arthropods in Northern Andalusian ‘dehesas’ (Spain)
Authors: Jiménez-Carmona Francisco , Carpintero Soledad , Reyes-López Joaquín Luís
Published: August 2020

The ‘dehesas’ are important and vast agro-silvo-pastoral systems typical of the Iberian Peninsula that are undergoing a crisis due to their low economic profitability and environmental degradation. Thus, it is necessary to identify effective tools that provide a reliable idea of the status of these ecosystems as a starting point for future measures of conservation. In this study we analyse the possible role of ants as surrogates for epigeic arthropods, a common biodiversity indicator group. A total of 15 farms were sampled throughout Sierra Morena (Andalusia, Spain) with pitfall traps, both for the ‘dehesa’ habitats themselves and for different microhabitats within the study sites. First, we achieve a complete list of the species of ants of the area. The results indicate that the ‘dehesa’ habitats were very homogenous for all farms, while microhabitats showed differences in species richness and ant communities’ composition compared to the ‘dehesas’. To evaluate the role of ants as surrogates, the number of traps occupied by each order of arthropod and by each ant species was compared. We found a high correlation between them what confirm the surrogate character of ants for the rest of arthropods in these ecosystems.

Published: August 2020

The Strumigenys ant species (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) are poorly studied in Bulgaria due to their small size and cryptic lifestyles. To date, only one species, S. baudueri (Emery, 1875), has been reported from a collecting site in the East Rhodopi Mountains (South Bulgaria). Herein we provide the fi rst records of another two species in Bulgaria: S. argiola (Emery, 1869) (Northeast Bulgaria) and S. tenuipilis Emery, 1915 (South Pirin Mountain). Scanning electron microscope micrographs of both species are also provided.
Im Spannungsfeld zwischen Sicherheit und Freiheit
Authors: Lasarov Wassili
Published: August 2020

Um Infektionsketten in der Corona-Pandemie effektiv nachzuverfolgen und zu unterbrechen, wurde die Corona-Warn-App in Deutschland eingeführt. Diese sogenannte Tracing-App verfolgt Begegnungen zwischen den Anwendern der App und warnt sie, falls sie mit Infizierten in Kontakt getreten sind. In der Öffentlichkeit entbrannte im Zuge der Einführung der Corona-Warn-App eine intensive Diskussion über den Umgang mit persönlichen Daten bei der Verwendung der App (z. B. durch die vermeintliche Erfassung der Standortdaten) sowie über die Wirksamkeit der App (z. B. durch mangelnde Teilnahme, insbesondere von älteren Menschen). Die vorliegende Studie untersucht, welche Einflussfaktoren die Akzeptanz der Corona-Warn-App erhöhen oder mindern können. Es werden hierfür relevante Einflussfaktoren aus der bisherigen Literatur ermittelt und auf den Anwendungsfall der Corona-Warn-App übertragen. Mit diesen Faktoren wurde ein Kategorienschema entwickelt, auf dessen Basis in einer qualitativen Studie 967 Leserkommentare mittels Inhaltsanalyse untersucht wurden. Die Ergebnisse bestätigen, dass besonders drei Kategorien relevant in diesem Zusammenhang sind: Der Nutzen der Corona-Warn-App (37 % der Nennungen), Datenschutz, Privatsphäre, Transparenz und Vertrauen (26 %) sowie der Einfluss der sozialen Umwelt (8 %). Zum Schluss werden Implikationen für zukünftige Forschung kurz vorgestellt.
Reading through London: Urban space and ontology in Joseph Conrad’s The Secret Agent
Authors: Bandosz Benjamin
Published: August 2020

Drawing from urban and ontological perspectives on Joseph Conrad’s prose and schizoanalysis, this article examines the entanglement of urban spaces and unstable subjectivities in The Secret Agent. Conrad’s psychological realism and impressionistic depiction of London generate a sense of place, topophilia, which imbues the novel with an extratextual dimension that oscillates between textuality and spatiality. The novel foregrounds characters in the cityscape as they permeate setting and narrative with their subjectivities and vice versa; the unstable subjectivities and spaces generate affective resonances that fracture the narrative and implicate the reader. An accompanying narratological analysis demonstrates how Conrad’s narrative techniques facilitate the reader’s interpolation into the liminal, ontological dimension of text and place.
Views of the city in French sci-fi comics and graphic novels
Authors: Spalding Steven , Romine Nicholas
Published: August 2020

This article looks at important French comics and graphic novels from the small but highly influential tradition of French science fiction in order to assess their distinctive formal and narrative contributions to the genre. Taking cues from theoretical definitions of bandes dessinées formulated by Thierry Groenstein and Thierry Smolderen, it identifies specific ways two major works, Futuropolis and L’Incal, reshaped the narrative range and scope of French sci-fi comics and graphic novels and recast their artistic possibilities. We also draw comparisons to Valérian et Laureline. The ways in which cityscapes are depicted in each serve as the privileged focus for measuring the similarities and differences among these works, both ideologically and formalistically.

Published: August 2020

Laccase enzyme production is important and more beneficial for environment, because it has many roles like, involved in bioremediation, biodegradation, decolorization of environmental polluted dyes and pharmaceutical sector also. Production of laacse enzyme from bacillus sp as using of Agro waste (rice bran) as a substrate. The Agricultural soil sample was collected, after the sample were processed for the preliminary and biochemical tests to identification of Bacillus organism. The Guiacol inducer were used for microbial screening of laccase enzyme production. After that microbial screening, various optimization parameters (pH, Temperature, Inducers, carbon and nitrogen sources) are checked for that production of laccase enzyme in mass level. Based on that optimization the bulk fermentation (large scale) (solid state fermentation) were done as a rice bran substrate. The fermentation product was subjected to analyzed the physiochemical properties and purification based on that techniques of Gel filtration chromatography, Dialysis, Ammonium sulfate preciptation. The protein estimation of that product to analysed by lowry’s method.
Institutional Balance, Civic Virtue and Dialogue: A Republican Balancing Act for the EU Constitutional Order
Authors: Johnson Desmond
Published: August 2020

Non-domination is a central tenet of republicanism and a foundational principle of the EU constitutional order. Republicanism, however, has often been overlooked as a legitimating principle in the EU. This article explores the EU from a non-dominating paradigm. It shows that the institutional balance, as opposed to the separation of powers, has descriptive and normative force in the EU. Additionally, this analysis provides a systematic reinterpretation of the EU analysing its institutional balance from a dialogical perspective that emphasizes republican values linked with civic virtue. This highlights that intergovernmental,supranational, the peoples, interest group, and technocratic actors are vital players ‘free and equal’ to exert influence that shapes and reshapes the institutional balance to reflect their own vision of the public good. The republican model presented in this article provides for the active participation and limitation of each actor that can – and should – be understood as enhancing the democratic nature and legitimation of the EU.
I toponimi nei dizionari bilingui italiano-polacco, polacco-italiano in un contesto diacronico di apprendimento
Authors: Palmarini Luca
Published: August 2020

The purpose of this is to analyze the toponyms present in some Italian-Polish and Polish-Italian bilingual dictionaries. After selecting a “skeleton” of the dictionaries that trace part of the history of the bilingual lexicography in question, we move on to the analysis of the toponyms used in the dictionaries. In a lexicultural context, understood as the transfer of the cultural elements of a given language, we observe the choices made by lexicographers of the different eras and try to understand the reasons, sometimes of a personal nature or dictated by the historical context, or sometimes influenced by the political system in a given country. At the same time, we want to highlight the evolution in the diachronic field that toponyms and their equivalents have had in the dictionaries in question, as well as their value in teaching a particular foreign language.

La transformación del concepto de persona a la luz de la doctrina de la soberanía de Carl Schmitt
Authors: Campos García-Calderón Rafael Augusto
Published: August 2020

La finalidad del presente artículo es descubrir la presencia del concepto de personaen la doctrina de la soberaníade Carl Schmitt. A pesar de que este concepto tuvo un amplio desarrollo metafísico en el seno del pensamiento cristiano durante la antigüedad tardía, jamás pudo desembarazarse de la impronta jurídica de sus creadores los juristas romanos. Por tal razón, sirvió como soporte conceptual para el posterior despliegue de la noción de persona jurídica, sistematizada a lo largo de la modernidad. Para lograr nuestro objetivo, intentaremos rastrear la transformación del concepto depersonaa lo largo de la edad media y la modernidad, así como revisar el concepto de soberaníaen la teoría política moderna. Por otro lado, estudiaremos la noción de decisiónen la obra de Carl Schmitt, noción que el gran jurista alemán utilizó para definir su propia concepción de la soberanía. A partir de estas precisiones, intentaremos establecer la relación existente entre la noción de personay la de decisiónen el seno de la concepción schmittiana de la soberanía tomando como hilo conductor los presupuestos teológicos implícitos en ella. Como veremos, tales presupuestos nos remitirán a la obra del pensador danés Søren Kierkegaard, cuyas doctrinas nos mostrarán todo el alcance del planteamiento schmittiano. De esta manera, podemos concluir que el concepto de personasubyacente al decisionismoschmittiano ha sido transformado, en primer término, en el de existenciapolítica, noción determinada por la relación de enemistad; y, en segundo lugar, en el de unidad de la personalidad, concepto determinado por la actualización de la dimensión espiritual al interior de la condición humana.
Nueve cuentos acerca de mujeres en situación de acoso, hostigamiento y feminicidio
Authors: Cuecuecha Carmen
Published: August 2020

En México, la violencia de género es una realidad constante y alarmante, prueba de ello son los numerosos casos de asesinatos contra las mujeres por el sólo hecho de serlo. El feminicidio, como máxima expresión de la violencia de género que ejerce el patriarcado en contra de las mujeres, con la finalidad de someterlas a su ley, es precedido por una serie de actos atroces que sólo revelan el odio y desprecio hacia lo femenino. En este artículo se analizan nueve cuentos de autoras mexicanas, cuyas protagonistas reafirman la triste realidad de vivir en un país donde prevalece el orden patriarcal y subyace la ley masculina que las devora y desecha como objetos sin valor. No obstante, concluimos que para cambiar paulatinamente este orden, requerimos educarnos todos –hombres y mujeres- en la equidad de género, en la construcción de nuevas masculinidades libres de violencia y en el respeto al otro.
Acute Ischemic Stroke Induced by Covid-19 Disease - A Case Report

Published: August 2020

Introduction: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is the agent of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), may attack the central nervous system in addition to the respiratory system because of its neuro-invasive features. Increased inflammation, immobilization, hypoxia, and disseminated intravascular coagulation may predispose to cerebrovascular diseases.Case Report: A 73 years old man presenting to the emergency service with complaints of dyspnea, cough, and high fever was admitted to the hospital after being diagnosed as having COVID-19 upon findings of ground-glass densities and mild parenchymal involvement which was more prominent in the mid-and lower lobes of the lungs on his computerized tomography scan. His treatment was started with chloroquine, azithromycin, ceftriaxone, and enoxaparin. On the neurological exam performed for symptoms of dizziness, imbalance, speech disorder, and deviation of angle of mouth; he was conscious, cooperating, oriented limitedly and the right nasolabial groove was indistinct and he had dysarthria and ataxia. Acetylsalicylic acid was added to the treatment because cerebral diffusion magnetic resonance imaging revealed limited diffusion consistent with acute ischemia on the right posterolateral area of the bulbous. The patient whose respiratory distress worsened and who was admitted to the intensive care unit developed cardiac and respiratory arrest and he died despite all efforts of resuscitation.Conclusion: It should be kept in mind that the elderly patients with Covid-19 with prothrombotic risk factors are also at risk for cerebrovascular disease in addition to the infectious symptoms. In this case report, a patient infected with SARS-CoV-2 and diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke with anamnesis, clinical and radiological findings is presented.
In the opinion of scientists: are there rules in research? Pilot study on the most widespread rules of scientific research
Authors: De la Lama-Zubirán Paula , De la Lama-García Alfredo , Del Castillo-Mussot Marcelo
Published: August 2020

Sociologists, ethnologists, philosophers among others have tried to identify the norms or rules that govern scientific research; however, so far, they have not been widely accepted by scientists. This team followed a different path to identify the rules that govern scientific work by asking researchers if, in their opinion, there are rules in scientific research, and, if so, what they are. An opinion poll was conducted among 270 scientists who received academic training at universities in Mexico, Europe, and the United States, and who work at three universities in Mexico. The instrument is based on a social psychology theory that divides memories into spontaneous and assisted, and a dichotomous probability distribution was used to identify variations. Between eight and nine out of ten researchers from physical, biological, and social sciences recognized that there are four rules for research: to study reality as it is, have a critical attitude, have a methodological aptitude, and express willingness to openly publish results. Despite the heterogeneity of the disciplines researchers practice and the variety of their academic training, there is a consensus among scientists about the validity of such rules to conduct scientific research, although most of the time they do not mention them spontaneously.
Self, Society, and Repression in Babel: A Psychoanalytic Perspective
Authors: Iqbal A.M.
Published: August 2020

As the prevailing studies tend to neglect how media depict the sociological question about the relationship between self and society and the dualism between pleasure and reality in modern society, this article examines this important issue by analyzing the award-winning film Babel by using a psychoanalytic perspective. Based on textual analysis of the film’s storylines, this article argues that Babel not only substantially represents the relationship between self and society, but also depicts the continuing tension and dualism between them. This is seen in the storylines of its characters that illustrate the relationship between sexual drives and social regulations. For the sake of social interests and cultural production, pleasure is repressed by external reality and sexuality is repressed through socially sanctioned sexual regulations. The self must attempt to balance between libidinal desire and social control to enter the normality of the social world.
Archiving Knowledge Transmission in Islamic Educational Institution: The Case of Pesantren Miftahul Huda Tasikmalaya, Indonesia
Authors: Anwar Rully Khairul , Rahman M. Taufiq
Published: August 2020

This paper discusses the archiving system of knowledge transmission in traditional Islamic educational institution in Indonesia. The process of knowledge transmission in Islamic traditional educational institution cannot be separated from its position as the center of Islamic education and information. This study focuses its analysis on the Pesantren Miftahul Huda, Tasikmalaya, Indonesia, using qualitative method and data collection techniques through observation and interview. The results show that archiving knowledge transmission was limited and not well-managed in the pesantren Miftahul Huda. The pesantren was traditional in its archiving system in that it relied on the teachers’ memories in the process of transmission of Islamic science. To maintain an archiving system in traditional Islamic educational institution, pesantrens in Indonesia must pay serious attention to the archiving of their documents and activities for practical and scientific purposes. The support of local and central government support and other parties will be valuable and useful for these purposes.
How Reformist Islamic Theology Influences Muslim Women’s Movement: The Case of Liberal-Progressive Muslims in Indonesia
Authors: Hidayah Nur
Published: August 2020

Reformist Muslim ideology has been perceived to liberate Muslim women from the shackles of patriarchal religious and cultural norms. This article analyzes the extent to which contemporary reformist Islamic theology influences Muslim women’s movement in the light of Muslim debates on women and gender issues. In doing so, it focuses on the case of Islamic reform by Indonesian liberal-progressive Muslims since the late New Order and its influence on the Muslim women’s movement in the country. This article argues that Islamic reform promoted by contemporary liberal-progressive Muslims has given a significant contribution to the development of Muslim women’s movement. It has laid the ground for an Islamic paradigm shift on the discourse on Islam and gender. The opening of the gate of ijtihad and respect for modernity espoused by reformist Muslims have provided tools for radical change in Islamic discourse on gender while still ground such change on an Islamic basis. It has empowered Muslim women to claim for the rights in religious knowledge production and build a critical mass of Muslim women who take an active part in the struggle for gender and social justice. However, the development of Muslim women’s movement has been far more vibrant through its engagement with the dynamic of its surrounding socio-political circumstances and though critical dialogue with broader currents of feminist thoughts. Such complex genealogies have enabled Muslim women’s movement to claim its own identity as indigenous Islamic feminism that poses multiple critiques to any unjust systems that deprive Muslim women of their rights.
Children’s Developing Understanding of the Cognitive Abilities of Supernatural and Natural Minds
Authors: Burdett Emily Rachel Reed , Barrett Justin L. , Greenway Tyler S.
Published: August 2020

Despite a wealth of research exploring developmental patterns of children’s understanding of the thoughts and desires of another (or, their theory of mind), relatively little research has explored children’s developing understanding of supernatural minds. Of the work that exists, very few studies have explored whether patterns are similar in other cultural contexts, or religious traditions outside of Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic (WEIRD) societies. To address this deficit, the present study recruited 2-to-5-year-old children from three countries (United Kingdom, Albania, and Israel) with different religious traditions (Christian, Muslim, and Jewish). Children completed two perception (audio and visual) tasks and one memory task assessing their understanding of natural and supernatural minds’ cognitive abilities. Analyses revealed different patterns for responses about human minds. However, there were similar results across samples for responses about God, suggesting a shared developmental pattern. We conclude that children from religious traditions with a High God (God, Allah, Ha-Shem) share a similar developing concept of God.

Influence of grading recycled concrete aggregates on the properties of pervious concrete
Authors: Singh D. , Singh S. P.
Published: August 2020

This research study focused on the influence of grading coarse recycled concrete aggregates (RCAs) on the properties of pervious concrete. Five pervious concrete mixes were prepared using 100% RCAs. The size of the aggregates was categorised into two different groups of size 4.75–10 mm and 10–12.5 mm, varying the proportions from 0 to 100%. The pervious concrete specimens were tested for compressive, splitting tensile and flexural strengths along with ultrasonic pulse velocity. The porosity, permeability and density of the pervious concretes were also measured. A significant enhancement in strength properties was noticed after increasing the percentage of smaller-sized aggregates. Mixes containing 75% smaller aggregates showed an enhancement of 71.5% in compressive strength over mixes containing 100% of larger aggregate. Properties such as permeability, porosity and density were also enhanced due to an increase in smaller aggregate content. A mix with 75% smaller-sized aggregates was found to be the optimum among those tested in the study as it displayed improved results in terms of porosity, permeability, density and strength.
Perceived Internal Employability as a Strategy to Reduce Employee Intention to Quit
Authors: Sánchez  Sánchez - Manjvacas Ángela María , Revuelto Taboada Lorenzo , Saorín Iborra María  del  Carmen
Published: August 2020

This study analyzes the impact of perceived internal employability as a means to retain employees who possess human capital valuable for the company. Employees’ perceptions are used since these are the ones which determine attitudes and, therefore, predispositions to act, as well as adopted individual behaviors. Job satisfaction and organizational commitment are proposed as mediating variables in such relationship, since they have been mentioned in the literature as determinants when explaining employee behavior. Intention to quit job is used as dependent variable insofar as it is very complex to analyze effective employee turnover, which depends to a great extent on the opportunities offered by the labor market. The analysis is carried out throughstructural equations in a sample of 218 employees. The results show that internal employability does have a positive effect in a combined affective dimension of the job, and that this dimension has a negative impact on employees’ intention to quit their jobs.
Ley Orgánica de Precios Justos y la fijación de precios en las ferreterías del municipio Campo Elías, Estado Mérida, Venezuela
Authors: García Contreras Juan Carlos , Morillo Moreno Marysela Coromoto
Published: August 2020

Con el propósito de evaluar el efecto de la fijación de precios en la rentabilidad de las ferreterías del municipio Campo Elías del Estado Mérida (Venezuela),en el marco de la vigente Ley Orgánica de Precios Justos, se diseñó un estudio de tipo analítico no experimental ―con base en un censo― para estudiar la totalidad de ferreterías activas al momento de la recolección de datos. Con una tasa de respuesta del 40 % se encontró que los conceptos considerados como costo del producto vendido al momento de fijar los precios son costos según factura de la mercancía comprada, seguido de los impuestos no recuperables o transferibles al consumidor y los costos de transporte, fletes o traslado, omitiendo aranceles y gastos de importación (aduanas). Más del 50 % de los precios de los artículos ofertados no son fijados y marcados o etiquetados por su proveedor, lo cual representa un incumplimiento legal en el marcaje de precios de venta al público; agravado con el riesgo de remoción de precios por parte de los integrantes de la cadena de comercialización. Finalmente se recomiendan mayores actividades de fiscalización por parte de los entes competentes.

Sosyal medya, Destinasyon Pazarlama Organizasyonları (DPO) tarafından alternatif bir pazarlama/tanıtım kanalı olarak kullanılmasına karşın, destinasyonların sosyal medya performansını ele alan araştırmalar kısıtlı sayıdadır. Bu çalışmada, ziyaretçi sayısı açısından Avrupa’da ilk 10 sırada yer alan şehirlere ait DPO’ların Facebook, Youtube, Instagram ve Twitter performansı kıyaslanmıştır. Bulgular Avrupa’nın en çok ziyaret edilen 10 destinasyonu içerisinde Londra’nın Facebook, Twitter ve Instagram’da diğer destinasyonlara kıyasla daha aktif olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Türkiye’nin en fazla turist çeken destinasyonları olan İstanbul ve Antalya, bu üç platformda son sıralarda yer almaktadır. Diğer platformlara kıyasla Youtube’un DPO’lar tarafından çok fazla kullanılmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca Facebook, Twitter ve Instagram performansı ile destinasyonların ziyaretçi sayısı arasında anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir.
STAGES OF MINERALIZATION AND LOCALIZATION FACTORS OF THE AGYURT GOLD-COPPER-MOLYBDENUM DEPOSIT (LESSER CAUCASUS, AZERBAIJAN)
Authors: Kerimli U.
Published: August 2020

The article considers the stages of mineralization of the Agyurt gold-copper-molybdenum deposit of the Lesser Caucasus. The following mineralization stages were established at the field: 1) quartz-molybdenum; 2) quartz-pyrite-chalcopyrite with gold; 3) quartz-carbonate-sphalerite; 4) quartz-carbonate. Gold ore bodies are mainly composed of aggregates of the second stage of mineralization, which is productive. Its mineral substance is represented by three paragenetic associations: 1) quartz-pyrite; 2) calcite-chalcopyrite-marcasite; 3) gold-telluride-bismuth. Chemical analyzes of pyrites, bismuthin, tellurium bismuthite are given. It has been found that native gold is found in the form of small, simple forms of gold in grains of early pyrite. In veins of chalcopyrite and grains of pyrite, it is usually confined to the marginal parts. The largest amount of gold is in close intergrowth with tellurium-bismuth minerals. It was found that the ore deposition environment (mineral composition, chemistry and structural and texture features of the host rocks) played a decisive role for various types of mineralization. It is established that, in the plan, the Agyurt deposit is localized in the contour of a rock block elongated in the northwest (submeridional) direction, bounded by tectonic zones from the north-north-west and north-east, which also bear a certain imprint of the formation of the structural plan of the ore field with near latitudinal strike of tectonic elements. These structures are most tectonically prepared for the localization of gold-copper-molybdenum mineralization (updated in the pre-ore stages and most permeable for hydrothermal structures), and were the main ore-supplying and ore-locating structural elements. The ore zones represented by hydrothermal-metasomatic formations, as well as quartz veins piercing them and numerous veinlets and sometimes mineralized dykes, are controlled by the Main Ordubad longitudinal (280°∠70–80°NE) and Agyurt-Misdag transverse (40–50°∠70° NE) with discontinuous violations and adjoin the hanging side (northeast flank) of the first. The combination of structural and petrogenetic factors not only predetermined the formation of deposits of the Agyurt type, but also determined the horizontal and vertical zonation of mineralization: an increase in the Mo content and a decrease in Cu with depth are established. The same pattern is observed in the horizontal direction: as you move away from the intrusive massif and the ore-removing channel, there is a transition from Cu-Mo-mineralization to copper and then polymetallic, i.e. the role of Cu increases, then Pb and Zn. The horizontal zoning in Agyurt is expressed in an increase in Au content and the total amount of sulfides with distance from the Main Ordubad Fault, and vertical shows an increase in Au content and decreases in Ag with depth.

A corrupção faz jus a diversos enfoques e estudos não por tratar-se de assunto em voga, mas porque afeta gravemente o desenvolvimento de um país ao desviar recursos públicos para determinadas associações privadas. Além de desvirtuar a própria procura pelo interesse público e pelo bem comum, o ato da corrupção torna-se imensamente perturbador com a observação das precárias condições nas quais se encontram muitas pessoas. Por meio da comparação entre o Índice de Percepção de Corrupção (CPI) e o Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH), procurou-se neste trabalho contribuir com o debate sobre como eles afetam no desenvolvimento socioeconômico dos países. O objetivo deste trabalho consiste em analisar se existe relação entre percepção de corrupção e desenvolvimento humano, no período de 2012 a 2017 em todos os continentes. Para tanto, foram utilizadas duas metodologias: a revisão bibliográfica e a estatística descritiva. Foram coletados e analisados dados referentes ao IDH e à percepção de corrupção de três países em cada continente do globo, a saber: os três países que possuíam menor índice de percepção de corrupção e os três países com maior índice de percepção de corrupção, dentro de um mesmo continente e relacionando este índice com os índices de desenvolvimento humanos destes países, para, desta forma, observar se há alguma relação entre percepção de corrupção e desenvolvimento humano. Os resultados sugerem que quanto mais elevado o Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano de um país (IDH próximo a 1) maior é a percepção de corrupção nesse mesmo país (CPI próximo de 100).
An overview of waste collection systems in anthropogenic ecosystems

Published: August 2020

The paper discusses recent research and publications in Russian and foreign publications that study the application of solid municipal waste management systems in anthropogenic ecosystems. The analysis of the use of Russian and foreign digital technologies and Internet resources that manage municipal waste is carried out. The analysis of general aspects of solid waste management theory has shown that there is a problem of solid urban waste management (SWM) in various countries. Four main areas of waste management have been identified: collection and logistics, the use of machines and plants for waste treatment, business models and the use of data collection, storage, and processing tools. Logistics management of solid waste is a very complex and important job for any municipal corporation around the world. The use of various technologies and plants for waste treatment and sorting requires investment in each specific plant, but in the end it will help to optimize the management of solid waste. Innovative business models for solving environmental problems of waste accumulation require government incentives in the form of subsidies or tax incentives. The analysis of data collection, storage and processing tools that regulated waste flows revealed a promising possibility of using GIS technologies, the Internet of things and blockchain technologies for waste management. The paper proposes a new web-GIS technology (web application Garbage collector) for collecting large amounts of statistical data on the state of container sites in the city. Using the app will help you organize a waste management system within a locality by citizens, regardless of the management companies, together with the municipal authorities.
