Authors: Malik Munawar , Qureshi Maria , Bano Humara 
Published: May 2021

Self-efficacy is one’s belief or perception about one’s professional traits. Likewise, a teacher’s efficacy is a teacher’s belief about his competencies required to develop desirable change in learner’s behavior. Studies have identified teacher efficacy as one of the distinct variables that potentially can differentiate among teachers and corresponding work behaviors. Teaching children with special needs demands some exceptional traits and skills on the part of the teacher when compared to a teacher of regular education system. A special education teacher is a professional responsible for providing educational support and intervention for students with exceptional needs. The study aims to identify the self efficacy of teachers serving in schools for children with hearing impairment in special education institutions through a descriptive research i.e. cross sectional survey. Identified variables of self efficacy were planning, instruction, class management and evaluation. Other objectives were to identify relationship of self efficacy with educational qualification of teachers, gender, age and respective experiences. The population comprised teachers of Sp. Ed. schools in district Punjab. Purposive, random convenient sampling technique was used to select 100 teachers as a sample. The tool comprised a questionnaire with 30 items duly validated and piloted before formal data collection. Findings include a higher level of self efficacy among teachers in the domains of planning, instruction, class management and evaluation. A strong relationship has been identified among self efficacy of teachers, their respective age, gender, qualification and experience.

Authors: Saputra Boby 
Published: May 2021

Organizational culture is viewed positively by members of the organization so it is expected that the attitudes and behaviors that arise will be positive. The achievement of organizational goals is strongly influenced by the organizational culture. If the organizational culture is conducive enough, members of the organization will have a commitment to the organization. The commitment of employees to the organization will be reflected in their satisfaction with work. One of the things that can motivate employees to work is to meet their expectations / needs in organization, if their needs are met, then they will try to keep working well in the organization. This is what then gives birth to employee commitment to the organization, so that they use all their abilities properly for the development of the progress of their organization and in the end the organizational goals will be realized. Based on the description above, there is an interest in conducting research with the title: "The influence of organizational culture on employee commitment at PT. Pemantang Abaditama”.
The purpose of this study are as follows: to determine the significant influence of organizational culture on employee commitment of PT. Pemantang Abaditama. The population in this study were employees at PT. Pemantang Abaditama. The statistical method used is linear regression analysis.

HOW RELIGIOUS BELIEFS SHAPE CONSUMER BEHAVIOR: AN EXPLORATORY AND PURELY QUALITATIVE STUDY ON CHRISTIAN, MUSLIM, AND TRADITIONAL CONSUMERS IN BURKINA FASO
Authors: Nassè Dr. Théophile Bindeouè 
Published: May 2021

There is no doubt that religion affects consumer behavior in the African context as well as in other geographies. While a lot of research has been done in other contexts, very little research has been conducted in the West African Geography. The purpose of this research is to explore the concepts of religious beliefs and consumer behavior in Burkina Faso to consider the role of culture in management and particularly in the marketing of products. Burkina Faso is a country where religion plays an important role. While the consumption of industrial non-alcoholic beverages is increasing, religious beliefs constitute a stumbling block that moderates the consumption of industrial non-alcoholic beverages. The approach is an exploratory qualitative one assorted with a sound documentary analysis. The qualitative data collection is performed with a digital voice recorder by the means of some semi-structured interviews. The number of semi-structured interviews recorded is 16. Then, the qualitative data is transcribed by hand. Results show that religious beliefs affect and moderate consumer behavior.
Keywords: Religious beliefs, Consumer behavior, Beverages, Consumption, Marketing.

Authors: Ndubuisi Dr. Peter Ositadinma 
Published: May 2021

Many business organizations are operating at an unacceptable high distribution chain costs even as industrial competition continues to pose as a major challenge to business success. Linear programming devices can help organizations achieve efficiency. This research aims at establishing the impact of Transportation algorithm in optimal product distribution and scheduling of business organizations. In a field study of NOWAS Oil and Gas, data was significantly secondary sourced, resulting from indepth analysis of existing documented content materials on the subject. Practical application of the least cost method scheduling and North West Corner Rule method of an initial basic feasible solution was imminent. Revising that solution using the stepping stone method translated to an optimal distribution schedule and a minimum cost profit in yearly distribution schedule of Nowas Oil and Gas, Enugu. It is recommended that business organizations carryout careful analysis of their supply and demand constraints in materials and products distribution for cost minimization and overall resource optimization.

TINJAUAN KONSEP IMAGO DEI IRENAEUS DAN THOMAS DARI PERSPEKTIF YOHANES CALVIN SERTA DAMPAKNYA BAGI ZAMAN PASCA MILLENIAL
Authors: Hutahaean Tumpal 
Published: May 2021

This article seeks to express the uniqueness of John Calvin's understanding of the meaning of Imago Dei as his reaction to the understanding of the theologians of Irenaeus and Medieval Scholastic Aquinas, then to explain the implications of Imago Dei theologically in the context of God's creation along with its significance on self-identity in the digital age. Calvin restores Imago Dei's view back to the bible. His thesis is human must have the right knowledge about God and himself. It is only through Jesus Christ and His word can a man be renewed and knows himself as Imago Dei, so that he can glorify God again. And it is only through the work of the Holy Spirit can man reflects God in this world.
KEYWORDS: Imago Dei; total depravity; redemption; renewal; knowing oneself.
Sensitivity of precipitation and temperature over the Mount Kenya area to physics parameterization options in a high-resolution model simulation performed with WRFV3.8.1
Authors: Messmer Martina , González-Rojí Santos J. , Raible Christoph C. , Stocker Thomas F. 
Published: May 2021

Abstract. Several sensitivity experiments with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model version 3.8.1 have been performed to find the optimal parameterization setup for precipitation amounts and patterns around Mount Kenya at a convection-permitting scale of 1 km. Hereby, the focus is on the cumulus scheme, with tests of the Kain–Fritsch, the Grell–Freitas, and no cumulus parameterizations. In addition, two longwave radiation schemes and two planetary boundary layer parameterizations are evaluated, and different nesting ratios and numbers of nests are tested. The precipitation amounts and patterns are compared against a large amount of weather station data and three gridded observational data sets. The temporal correlation of monthly precipitation sums show that fewer nests lead to a more constrained simulation, and hence the correlation is higher. The pattern correlation with weather station data confirms this result, but when comparing it to the most recent gridded observational data set the difference between the number of nests and nesting ratios is marginal. The precipitation patterns further reveal that using the Grell–Freitas cumulus parameterization in the domains with resolutions >5 km provides the best results when it comes to precipitation patterns and amounts. If no cumulus parameterization is used in any of the domains, the temporal correlation between gridded and in situ observations and simulated precipitation is especially poor with more nests. Moreover, even if the patterns are captured reasonably well, a clear overestimation in the precipitation amounts is simulated around Mount Kenya when using no cumulus scheme in all domains. The experiment with the Grell–Freitas cumulus parameterization in the domains with resolutions >5 km also provides reasonable results for 2 m temperature with respect to gridded observational and weather station data.

Abstract. A high-resolution (1/20∘) global ocean general circulation model
with graphics processing unit (GPU) code implementations is developed based on
the LASG/IAP Climate System Ocean Model version 3 (LICOM3) under a
heterogeneous-compute interface for portability (HIP) framework. The dynamic
core and physics package of LICOM3 are both ported to the GPU, and
three-dimensional parallelization (also partitioned in the vertical direction) is
applied. The HIP version of LICOM3 (LICOM3-HIP) is 42 times faster than the
same number of CPU cores when 384 AMD GPUs and CPU cores are used. LICOM3-HIP
has excellent scalability; it can still obtain a speedup of more than 4 on
9216 GPUs compared to 384 GPUs. In this phase, we successfully
performed a test of 1/20∘ LICOM3-HIP using 6550 nodes and
26 200 GPUs, and on a large scale, the model's speed was increased to
approximately 2.72 simulated years per day (SYPD). By putting almost all the
computation processes inside GPUs, the time cost of data transfer between CPUs
and GPUs was reduced, resulting in high performance. Simultaneously, a 14-year
spin-up integration following phase 2 of the Ocean Model Intercomparison
Project (OMIP-2) protocol of surface forcing was performed, and preliminary
results were evaluated. We found that the model results had little difference
from the CPU version. Further comparison with observations and
lower-resolution LICOM3 results suggests that the 1/20∘ LICOM3-HIP
can reproduce the observations and produce many smaller-scale activities, such
as submesoscale eddies and frontal-scale structures.
Trends and Challenges in Rural Homeless Populations
Authors: Derderian Celena , Easterday Anthony , Driscoll David , Ramaswamy Sriram 
Published: May 2021

Background: Homelessness is a significant public health issue in the United States. Living in rural locations has been associated with an increase in poverty. Additionally, it has been found that veterans are at greater risk for homelessness than the general population. The aim of this research was to characterize rural homeless veterans and non-veterans living in Nebraska, United States.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted comprising 50 veterans and 64 non-veterans recruited from rural locations in Nebraska. Fully structured interviews were conducted by the research staff that consisted of questions regarding participant sociodemographics, housing, clinical characteristics, psychosocial factors, and utilization of health care and social services.
Results: In comparison to non-veterans, rural homeless veterans were found to be older, more qualified, and more likely to have ever been married. Veterans spent fewer nights in a shelter and more nights in a halfway house. Regarding clinical features, veterans were more likely to report posttraumatic stress disorder and alcohol misuse. Veterans also reported shorter travel times to reach health care services and used them more often compared to non-veterans.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that homeless veterans and non-veterans within rural settings have unique needs to be addressed when it comes to providing health care and social services, as well as in attempts to eliminating homelessness. Further research will help in the development of improved methods to support rural veterans and non-veterans.

Authors: Johnson Monnique , Seide Witzard , Green-Dixon Althea , Randall Virginia 
Published: May 2021

Background
Finding that enrollment of Underrepresented in Medicine students at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences was considerably below the national average, researchers sought to understand the experiences of minority students. The goal is to develop an academic and social support structure that sustains and attracts students of diverse backgrounds and races.
Method
Individual interviews of eight matriculated Black medical students and a focus group were conducted, with Institutional Review Board approval, to obtain feasible methodologies and implement change. Student's perspectives and experiences regarding their institution were investigated using qualitative thematic analysis.
Results
The analysis revealed six themes from the individual interviews: Experience as a minority; Admission process; Difference in backgrounds; Curriculum culture; Diversity at the school; Military medicine. The overarching message from the students was “If you don’t see yourself represented somewhere, it’s hard to believe that you belong.” The focus group made four recommendations: Add a minority viewpoint to curriculum; Add textbooks that portray black skin; Collaborate with Historically Black Colleges and Universities; Increase recruitment of Black students and faculty.
Conclusion
It is hard for minority students to believe they belong in environments without the representation and infrastructure needed to support their unique needs. Implementing ideas, such as those described in this report, is an important step towards creating inclusion and equity.

Pandemi Covid-19 yang melanda dunia membuat semua pemerintahan negara dan daerah membuat peraturan karantina bernama Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB). Pelaksanaan PSBB pada bulan Maret hingga Mei 2020 mengakibatkan banyak dampak baik positif dan negatif. Dampak positif yang muncul akibat PSBB tersebut salah satunya booming-nya hobi bersepeda masyarakat di Indonesia. Booming tersebut akibat dari masyarakat yang tidak dapat bepergian dan berlibur ke luar kota atau ke luar negeri sehingga mencari cara untuk menyegarkan pikiran dengan cara bersepeda keliling kota.
Penelitian ini menggunakan data dari Strava Metro dari tahun 2017 – November 2020. Strava Metro adalah bagian dari Stava, aplikasi media sosial bagi pada pehobi olahraga khususnya sepeda, lari, renang dan lain-lain. Strava menghimpun data penggunanya yang meliputi jarak tempuh, jumlah perjalanan, jumlah orang, dan asal pesepeda (lokal atau wisatawan) dengan tanpa menampilkan data pribadi penggunanya. Penelitian ini akan memetakan perilaku pesepeda sebelum dan sesudah PSBB dengan membandingkan data dari 2020, terutama pada bulan Maret – November 2020, dengan data dari tahun sebelumnya.
