KEPADATAN LALU LINTAS AKIBAT HAMBATAN SAMPING RUAS JALAN KI HAJAR DEWANTARA KOTA METRO
Authors: Sriharyani Leni , Hadijah Ida 
Published: June 2023

Ruas Jalan Ki Hajar Dewantara Kota Metro merupakan kawasan pusat pendidikan, dimana di area tersebut terdapat sekolah mulai dari tingkat taman kanak-kanak hingga perguruan tinggi. Volume lalu lintas pada saat jam puncak pagi dan sore sangatlah tinggi. Hambatan samping jalan pada ruas jalan ini terjadi pada pagi hingga sore hari. Parkir kendaraan orang tua yang menjemput anaknya disisi kanan dan kiri jalan serta pedagang makanan yang berjualan disisi kanan dan kiri jalan bahkan di atas trotoar sangatlah menggangu pengguna jalan. Tingginya kejadian hambatan samping ini sangat berdampak besar terhadap kelancaran arus lalu lintas sehingga menimbulkan kepadatan dan kemacetan terutama pada sore hari ketika jam sekolah telah selesai. Minimnya pengawasan dan rekayasa lalu lintas pada ruas jalan ini membutuhkan solusi untuk penyelesaiannya. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah metode pengumpulan data dengan pengamatan dan observasi langsung di lapangan dengan melakukan survei traffic counting, survei hambatan samping, survei kecepatan sesaat dan survei geometrik jalan. Volume lalu lintas yang melintasi ruas jalan Ki Hajar Dewantara adalah sebesar 1229,7 smp/jam. Kepadatan lalu lintasnya adalah 960 kendaraan/km. Aktivitas hambatan samping yang terjadi pada ruas jalan Ki Hajar Dewantara tergolong tinggi pada jam puncak pagi pukul 06.00-07.00 dengan frekuensi kejadian 770 dan frekuensi berbobot 524,4. Kegiatan kendaraan masuk dan keluar segmen jalan mendominasi 85,8 % dari seluruh hambatan samping yang terjadi. Hendaknya ada rambu, fasilitas penyeberangan orang dan petugas yang mengatur ketertiban lalu lintas pada saat jam sibuk pagi dan sore hari
Psychological safety, purpose, path, and partnership reduce associate veterinarian desire to leave current employment
Authors: McKay Charlotte H. , Vaisman Joshua M. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To identify demographic and employment variables associated with an associate veterinarian’s intent to remain at their organization in the next 5 years and to assess the impact of positive leadership in the practice and on veterinarians’ well-being.

SAMPLE
2,037 associate veterinarians in private practice who participated in the 2021 and 2022 AVMA Census of Veterinarians surveys.

PROCEDURES
Associate veterinarian demographic and employment information was used in regression analysis to determine the likelihood of remaining employed at their organization in the next 5 years and the impact leadership has on an associate veterinarian’s employment.

RESULTS
Higher levels of burnout, living in an urban community, and working in corporate practice were associated with lower odds of remaining in the next 5 years. Associates who worked in a practice in which they believed their leaders practiced positive leadership had higher odds of remaining in the next 5 years. An increase in a practice’s leadership index was associated with a likelihood to remain employed over the next 5 years. Decreases in the leadership index were associated with higher burnout levels among associates, more work experience, working more hours, and specialty/referral practices.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Findings supported anecdotal evidence that lack of positive leadership in a private practice may lead to higher odds of retention issues in a practice, as well as lower job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and workplace well-being among associates. Positive leadership practices might provide protective factors to critical veterinary business outcomes like team member retention and engagement.
Mathematical model for the transmission of mumps and its optimal control
Authors: Duru Emmanuel Chidiebere , Anyanwu Michael Chimezie 
Published: June 2023

Summary
Mumps is a viral contagious disease associated with puffy cheeks and tender and swollen jaw. It spreads through direct contact with saliva or respiratory droplets from the mouth, nose or throat of infected persons. In this work, we present a mathematical model which describes the dynamics of the disease in a human population. The model incorporates isolation and treatment of infected individuals as a control measure. It is shown that the disease-free equilibrium (DFE) is locally and globally asymptotically stable when the control reproduction number Rc is less than one. It is also shown that the model has a unique endemic equilibrium which exists when Rc > 1. The existence of a unique endemic equilibrium confirms the global stability of the DFE, and the absence of backward bifurcation in the model. Optimal control analysis is performed on the model to obtain the proportion of infected humans to be isolated for optimal control of the disease. Plots are presented to show the dynamics of the disease in the presence of the control measures.
The ‘Struggle for the Narrative’: Cooperation and Conflict in Tiger King’s Intermedial Universe
Authors: Scherr Alexander 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This article examines the disputed status of narratives in the Netflix documentary Tiger King (2020—2021), and the ways in which the series’ actors use media to bolster their particular version of a narrative. While classic studies of intermediality have productively analyzed the relations between the multiple semiotic resources employed in narrative forms, I offer an approach to intermediality in documentary art that enriches the structuralist paradigm insofar as it calls additional attention to the various human actors that put the worldmaking power of media to use.
Assuming that in filmmaking the creation of a storyworld is a fundamentally cooperative, while also potentially conflictive, endeavor, I examine the Netflix hit show as a documentary in which narrative co-construction is particularly significant. The series introduces its audience to the strange world of ‘big cat owners’ in the United States — a world which is populated by dubious storytellers and full of conflicts of interests. Tiger King’s ‘hyperreal’ world is saturated with media and images that are employed by its actors for storytelling purposes on a contested narrative territory. I argue that the actors’ ‘struggle for the narrative’ resonates with the show’s Darwinian themes and its interests in documenting a world in which the true predators are not the tigers but the human ‘storytelling animals.’ By examining how the various actors boost their own narratives while discrediting those of other players, I aim to illuminate the fine line between narrative co-construction and conflict in the show’s intermedial storyworld.
Examining Seasonality in Tourism with Special Reference to the Recent Effects of Covid-19 – The Case of the Sopron-Fertő Tourism Destination (Hungary)
Authors: Barcza Attila , Csapó János , Hinek Mátyás , Marton Gergely , Alpek Levente 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Seasonality, meaning that the vast majority of tourist locations do not distribute arrivals evenly throughout the year, in tourism, it is widely regarded as one of the most crucial problems for the majority of the world’s destinations, particularly in terms of sustainability. Nevertheless, despite its importance and that this unbalanced nature has become one of tourism’s most distinguishing characteristics, we can say that no globally comparable international measurement of seasonality is currently available. Based on the abovementioned phenomena, the main objective of the present study and research is to detect and analyse the tourism seasonality of a case study area, the Sopron-Fertő destination (Hungary), using multiple methodologies such as the Gini index, a representative consumer questionnaire and expert interviews. The analysis demonstrates seasonality in tourism demand between 2008–2021, based on which implications on product development and new directions and challenges, influenced by the most recent impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, are revealed and suggested.

Published: June 2023

Abstract

Research purpose. In recent years, the importance of moving from a linear economy to a circular economy in every area and sector of the economy has been discussed more than ever before. This includes discussions on a net zero energy system as the basis for a fully decarbonised electricity sector. The increase in demand for electricity and the push for net zero emissions are leading to a focus on using electric vehicles to meet the EU's sustainability targets. The European transport sector is responsible for a significant part of the European Union's total greenhouse gas emissions. The main aim is to evaluate the impacts of the automotive industry from an economic point of view because the increase in sales of electric cars can lead, among other things, to the mitigation of environmental problems.

Design / Methodology / Approach. Electric cars and biofuel cars are the two most discussed solutions in the transport sector. As EVs are sustainable to the extent that their energy sources are sustainable, the main aim of this research paper is to investigate the impacts of the chosen electric vehicle types from an economic point of view, especially the sales of electric vehicles in the time period of 2010-2021. Battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles' sales situation will be analysed in Europe and globally. The assumptions and hypotheses were set and verified through regression and correlation analysis.

Findings. The research results have confirmed our assumptions that the number of vehicles sold in Europe and worldwide is increasing with time. During the time period under consideration, electric car sales increased worldwide. 6,600,000 battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles were supplied in total in 2021, representing a 45% increase from the previous year. The most significant growth in car sales in Slovakia was in 2021, but only one-tenth of one per cent were electric vehicles.

Originality / Value / Practical implications. A gradual shift of the main interest from automakers to electric vehicles is seen. At the same time, there are other questions connected to electric vehicles that need to be addressed and analysed, such as their high price, charging options and infrastructure and, nowadays, the electricity price.
Spatial patterns of EU funds absorption in Romanian rural municipalities

Published: June 2023

Abstract
This study analyses the spatial differences in EU funds absorption among Romanian rural municipalities through the 2014–2020 programming period. The absorption capacity for EU funds is measured by the volume of spent EU funds by inhabitant, for each Romanian rural municipality. The results of the analysis highlight the importance of the territorial dimension when studying the distribution of EU funds among the rural municipalities of Romania. Affiliation with a specific development region (NUTS 2), county (NUTS 3) or a functional urban area (FUA) is used to differentiate the volume of absorbed EU funds. In Romania, rural municipalities with higher levels of absorbed EU funding are, to a statistically higher extent, located in development regions in the Centre, North-West, South-West and West of the country; in communes with no change, or even an increase, in population between 2014 and 2021; in the highest quartile of fiscal capacity and in communes with experience with EU funding from the preceding programming period. This article adds to the growing body of territorial evidence and can be used as a policy instrument to more closely examine the intervention tools embedded in EU funding policy.
Emotional and cultural intelligences: a comparative analysis between the United States of America and Romania
Authors: Bratianu Constantin , Paiuc Dan 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Cultural intelligence (CQ) and emotional intelligence (EQ) represent key competencies of multicultural leadership in the new normal global business environment. This paper aims to present a comparative quantitative study concerning emotional and cultural intelligences in USA and Romania, backed by a brief geo-linked bibliometric literature review. The bibliometric analysis is performed with VOSviewer for the works focusing on these two variables published in USA and, respectively, in Romania. Inspired by the findings of this comparative analysis, it is performed a quantitative research based on 604 questionnaires distributed to managers in USA and in Romania, and on statistical processing using SPSS software. The statistical results show that both CQ and EQ constitute significant vectors in developing multicultural leadership and organizational performance in a multicultural business environment for both USA and Romania. The comparative study reveals a higher level of CQ and EQ in the Romanian business environment than in USA. The difference could be explained by the focus on rationality and profit maximization in the American business education. The contribution of the paper comes from these findings and they can help researchers and practitioners to stimulate their efforts in improving CQ and EQ competences.
The impact of quality of C2C online store on consumer satisfaction: an empirical study in Lithuania
Authors: Ūsas Antanas , Jasinskas Edmundas , Streimikiene Dalia 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Thanks to constantly improving software packages, apps, and technologies themselves, creating and improving websites has become much easier. Excess or lack of information, inappropriate layout of website management, inefficiency of additional functions, excess of visual material - these are the problems faced by website users. These problems are usually not of a technological nature, so the change in technology will not determine what the user wants and what problems he faces. However, studies have ignored the fact that the type of business can affect decision outcomes (i.e., website evaluation) may also influence the perceived satisfaction and trust. This article examines consumer satisfaction and trust with services provided by the C2C websites. This study first proposes an analytical model that contains website quality indicators of consumer satisfaction and trust. Theoretical contributions and managerial implications are generated on the basis of the findings and analysis. The results showed a positive effect of website quality on consumer trust and satisfaction, which was partially mediated through consumer trust. Moreover, consumer trust had a positive association with all website quality indicators and satisfaction. The C2C website business should understand the consumer’s website quality expectations with respect to online shopping, to attract new consumers and to retain their existing consumers.
Peculiarities of persons who inject drugs among patients with HIV–tuberculosis coinfection registered in 4thDistrict TB Unit Bucharest during 2009–2018
Authors: Țigău Mirela , Zaharie Ana-Maria 
Published: June 2023

AbstractIntroduction: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–tuberculosis (TB) coinfection is a worldwide problem and a subject of concern, being associated with high mortality and risk of complications. Intravenous drug use is a way of getting infected with HIV that continues to rise, especially in the big cities. We aimed to study the peculiarities of persons with HIV–TB who inject drugs.Methods: We performed a retrospective, observational study, among patients treated for TB in the 4thDistrict TB unit, Bucharest, during a 10-year period. A unique registry of patients with TB was used, and data of all patients with HIV–TB were noted ( demographics, medical, treatment outcome). A comparison between drug users (people who inject drugs [PWID]) and nondrug users (non-PWID) was assessed.Results: We identified 122 patients with HIV–TB: 60 PWID, 58 non-PWID, and 4 former users. The mean age was 36.4 ± 9.8 years, 75% were males, and 73% were using antiretroviral treatment (ART). After comparing PWID with non-PWID patients, the following differences were noted: age (33.0 ± 6.0 years in PWID vs 40.5 ± 11.3 in non-PWID, P < 0.0001), gender (87% vs 66% males, P = 0.0034), presence of chronic hepatitis (97% vs 21%, P < 0.0001), CD4 number (156.1 ± 204.5 cells/mm3vs 260.8 ± 248.9 cells/mm3, P = 0.0409), ART (65% vs 84%, P = 0.0075), and evaluation at the end of TB treatment (P = 0.0373).Conclusions: PWID represent a vulnerable population of those with HIV–TB coinfection, whose outcome in TB treatment is significantly poorer and who are at risk of abandonment, death, and comorbidities. They should be included in dedicated programmes that are aimed at increasing adherence to treatment and care, additionally assessing the dependence problem.

Abstract

Introduction
We analyse anthropometric, somnopolygraphic and comorbidities data in patients with OSA syndrome, OSA with COPD, and OSA with COPD and obesity.

Material and method
2644 OSA patients, three groups: I – OSA (2112 pts., 79.9%); II – OSA and COPD (116 pts., 4.4%); III – OSA, COPD and obesity (416 pts., 15.7%).

Results
significantly older (p < 0.01, p = 001, p < 0.01); more men: 68.4% vs. 80.2% vs. 78.8%; smokers 59.4% vs. 70.7% vs. 74.3%; larger neck circumference: 42.74 ± 5.08 cm vs. 40.57 ± 3.97 cm vs. 45.90 ± 4.92 cm; higher BMI; lower O2 saturation: p < 0.01, p= 123, P < 0.01; higher desaturation index: 30.65 ± 26.96 vs. 18.94 ± 20.28 vs. 42.28 ± 29.02; lowest O2 saturation: (p < 0.01 0, p = 024, p< 0.01); higher AHI: p= 0.001, p < 0.01, p < 0.01; coronary artery disease: p < 0.01, p = 195, p < 0.01; heart failure: p < 0.01, p = 760, p < 0.01; arrhythmias: p < 0.01, p = 796, P < 0.01; stroke: unsignificant; diabetes mellitus: p = 0.252, p = 0.007, p = 0.794; systemic hypertension: p < 0.01, p = 0.786, p < 0.01.

Conclusion
COPD in OSA is more severe, with more diabetes and longer hypertension duration, but not significantly different for O2 saturation, CAD, heart failure, arrhythmia, stroke and systemic hypertension. Obesity adds to overlap OSA–COPD significant burden for all recorded data, with the exception of stroke and diabetes.
Teachers’ Beliefs About Multilingualism at Universities in North Macedonia

Published: June 2023

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore teachers’ beliefs about multilingualism at universities in North Macedonia. Multilingualism as a concept is related to an individual’s ability to speak three or more languages. Given the educational and cultural globalization, multilingualism is crucial in many countries in the world. North Macedonia is an excellent example of multilingualism where different cultures live together and learn the languages of each other.
At Universities across the country, teachers face different challenges while teaching multilingual classes. Linguistic competence in many local languages allows students to learn foreign languages easily and thus raises students’ global awareness and deepens knowledge about their future teaching career.
The study analysed data collected from thirty EFL teachers from four different universities, Southeast European University, University of Tetova, Mother Teresa University and International Balkan University in North Macedonia. The research instrument used was the teacher survey which contained five domains: Teachers’ perspective on multilingualism; Students’ language learning knowledge; Language teacher collaboration; Learning materials, and other topics related to L2 learning and teaching.
The study results revealed that teachers view multilingualism as a positive asset for the students, and they expressed that they have developed an approach which helps multilinguals to achieve their learning goals. One area which needs improvement is teacher collaboration, as they tend to collaborate regarding materials and textbooks, however, not willing to share their experience on teaching methods/strategies and challenges faced.
Domestic Violence Legislation Reforms in the Republic of North Macedonia
Authors: Ratkoceri Vedije 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The phenomenon of domestic violence is as old as humanity itself, but legal protection against violence both internationally and nationally begins to be provided very late. In the Republic of North Macedonia, until 2004, there was no legal protection of victims of domestic violence, nor was adequate sanctioning of perpetrators. Only since 2004, with the amendments and additions to the Criminal Code in the criminal sphere, and the Law on the Family in the civil sphere, the phenomenon of domestic violence began to receive due legal attention, with the application of provisions for the sanctioning of perpetrators and temporary measures protection for victims.
The adoption of the Istanbul Convention (The Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence) and its ratification in 2018 undoubtedly contributed to the Republic of North Macedonia undertaking a series of reforms in the field of domestic violence. So initially, in 2021, the new Law on domestic violence was adopted in harmony with the principles of the Istanbul Convention, whereas in 2023 the Law on the amendment of the Criminal Code was adopted. This law focused on changes in criminal offenses related to domestic violence and gender-based violation, as well as the incorporation of new criminal offenses in this regard.
These legislative reforms, especially the amendments approved in February 2023 which are of particular importance in the prevention and fight against domestic violence and violence against women in the Republic of North Macedonia are the focus of this research. Here we have analyzed and commented the approved changes to the Criminal Code of RNM.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
In this work, we consider a boundary value problem for a q-Dirac equation. We prove orthogonality of the eigenfunctions, realness of the eigenvalues, and we study asymptotic formulas of the eigenfunctions. We show that the eigenfunctions form a complete system, we obtain the expansion formula with respect to the eigenfunctions, and we derive Parseval’s equality. We construct the Weyl solution and the Weyl function. We prove a uniqueness theorem for the solution of the inverse problem with respect to the Weyl function.

Abstract
We study the Volterra integro-differential equation on time scales and provide sufficient conditions for boundness of all solutions of considered equation. Using that result, we present the conditions for exponential stability of considered equation. All the results proved on the general time scale include results for both integral and discrete Volterra equations.
