Abstract
Background
This study aims to provide researchers and practitioners with a more elaborate instrument to measure turnover intentions based on the planned behaviour theory model. The questionnaire assesses 5 distinct aspects of turnover intentions (i.e., subjective social status, organisational culture, personal orientation, expectations, and career growth).

Methods
In this cross-sectional study (comprise of 2 studies in one) a wave survey design was applied to a large diversity of workers drawn from the staff of universities, banks, hospitals, factories, and telecommunication companies. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was applied the identify the sub-dimensions and Cronbach’s alpha to assess the reliability of the first study. In the second study, for the Confirmatory factor analysis to establishing structural model of the dimensions.

Results
We demonstrate the reliability, factor structure, and validity evidence based on internal structure and relationship with other variables of the new measure among two samples (N1 = 622; N2 = 433). Twenty-five items with 5 factors were extracted to represent a broader perspective of turnover intention scale.

Conclusions
In total, the study indicates that the assessment can be used to reliably assess several major indicators of turnover intentions. Therefore, improved employees’ evaluations and reduced loss of valuable staff as a result of avoidable measures in considering the interests of workers.

Abstract
Background
Accurate knowledge of vessel anatomy is essential in facial reconstructive surgery. The technological advances of ultrasound (US) equipment with the introduction of new high-resolution probes improved the evaluation of facial anatomical structures. Our study had these objectives: the primary objective was to identify new surgical landmarks for the facial vein and to verify their precision with US, the secondary objective was to evaluate the potential of high-resolution US examination in the study of both the facial artery and vein.

Methods
Two radiologists examined a prospective series of adult volunteers with a 22–8 MHz hockey-stick probe. Two predictive lines of the facial artery and vein with respective measurement points were defined. The distance between the facial vein and its predictive line (named mandibular-orbital line) was determined at each measurement point. The distance from the skin and the area of the two vessels were assessed at every established measurement point.

Results
Forty-one volunteers were examined. The median distance of the facial vein from its predictive line did not exceed 2 mm. The facial vein was visible at every measurement point in all volunteers on the right side, and in 40 volunteers on the left. The facial artery was visible at every measurement point in all volunteers on the right and in 37 volunteers on the left.

Conclusions
The facial vein demonstrated a constant course concerning the mandibular-orbital line, which seems a promising clinical and imaging-based method for its identification. High-resolution US is valuable in studying the facial artery and vein.

Relevance statement
High-resolution US is valuable for examining facial vessels and can be a useful tool for pre-operative assessment, especially when combined with the mandibular-orbital line, a new promising imaging and clinical technique to identify the facial vein.

Key points
• High-resolution US is valuable in studying the facial artery and vein.
• The facial vein demonstrated a constant course concerning its predictive mandibular-orbital line.
• The clinical application of the mandibular-orbital line could help reduce facial surgical and cosmetic procedure complications.

Abstract
Based on the self-assembling amphiphilic peptide GAVILRR, we developed a peptide amphiphile bearing octanoyl and octaarginine groups that formed stable nanoparticles with siRNA delivery capabilities. The N-terminal addition of an octanoyl group reduced the particle size and polydispersity. The C-terminal polyarginine extension allowed the formation of nanoparticles with greater stability and smaller sizes with siRNA loading compared to those for the original and other variant peptides. The resulting peptide amphiphile PA8 effectively delivered siRNA into AsPC-1 pancreatic cancer cells.

Published: September 2023

Background: There is fierce market competition both locally and globally. Every organisation seeks to maintain itself and, more crucially, to develop quickly through inorganic means. The expansion of a company through mergers and acquisitions is an inorganic process. Organic growth takes a very long period and is time-bound, but inorganic growth through mergers may be achieved quickly. This research aimed to determine whether the operating results of Indian beverage firms have improved after the merger or not. Methods: In order to assess merger-related advantages to the acquiring firms, this study used the operating performance technique, which contrasts the pre-merger and post-merger performance of corporations using accounting data. Secondary data were used to carry out this study. The operating performance was assessed on six operating parameters (ratios) i.e. Operating Profit Margin, Gross and Net Profit Margin, Debt-Equity, Return on Net Worth and Capital Employed. The comparison was done for three years pre and post-merger period of these operating ratios. Results: The findings demonstrate that mergers do not seek to increase owner wealth. This finding shows that rather than just becoming larger and achieving covert goals, managers should pay more attention to post-merger integration challenges in order to produce merger-induced synergies. Conclusion: This study shows that the M&As have not had a good effect on a company's operating performance, especially for the chosen beverage companies in India. Since financial measures cannot fully account for the influence of mergers on business performance, future research may create other metrics for merger-related gains. Research that provides profound insights into the causes and trends of post-merger business performance through the different types of mergers and industries would also be beneficial.
Towards the definition of metrics for the assessment of operational design domains
Authors: Kaiser Bernhard , Weber Hendrik , Hiller Johannes , Engel Benjamin 
Published: September 2023

Background: The Operational Design Domain (ODD) of an automated driving function defines on which roads and under which environmental conditions the function is safe to operate. It plays an important role in definition, safety analysis and validation of automated driving. In many cases, users want to determine metrics about ODDs, or about ODDs in combination with other work products, like collections of validation scenarios. Such metrics could answer questions such as what percentage of the road network of a given region is inside the ODD. While language formats to specify ODDs have emerged over the last few years, a solid methodology on how to calculate different sorts of metrics is still on the roadmap for the future. Methods: This contribution suggests metrics for ODDs that are mathematically built upon a notion of ontologies, and ODDs as multi-dimensional cross-products of sets, using standard arithmetic and set operations. To illustrate the idea, a couple of possible metrics for ODDs are derived as examples and discussed in the light of some real-world use cases. Results: To illustrate the application of a ODD metric, we apply an analysis of a sample trip and calculate the theoretical availability of variants of an automated driving system with different ODDs. Conclusions: The metrics presented and the shown sample application present an important next step in discussions around ODDs of Automated Driving Systems. They make it possible to not only consider an ODD specification as a reference for a single system, but allow comparing systems with different ODDs, judging the maturity of a system with a certain ODD, or provide indicators how usable a system is within a real-word application
Ways of improving dental structures from metal-free ceramics. Literature review
Authors: Nebogatov S. , Chulak L. 
Published: September 2023

Over the last 10 years, the use of zirconium dioxide ceramics as a framework material for the manufacture of microprostheses, single crowns and small bridges has increased. Their use in dental practice became possible with the help of CAD/CAM technologies. Clinical studies of ceramic restorations based on zirconium dioxide showed promising clinical results and high survival rates. However, chipping and fragility of ceramic masses layered on frameworks made of zirconium dioxide remains an actual and urgent problem of modern orthopedic dentistry.
In modern global dental practice, layer-by-layer veneering on refractory models, CAD/CAM technology, and hot pressing techniques are used to achieve such results.
In modern dentistry, the IRS e.max Press technologies occupy a rather significant place due to the simplicity and manufacturability of the process, but their use is restrained by the fear of orthopedists-dentists related to the fragility of metal-free structures and the complexity of clinical stages. Therefore, most often in case of destruction of the crown part of the tooth, metal hip inserts are used, the manufacturing technology of which continues to be improved.
That is why in modern orthopedic dentistry, the problem of improving the quality of restoration of the frontal group of teeth by improving and approving the technology of pressed ceramics is urgent.

Abstract. Wardani BRP, Atmanto WD, Widiyatno, Romadini NP. 2023. Natural regeneration of Alstonia spectabilisin small-scale privately-owned forest in Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 3723-3734. Alstonia spectabilisis a species that serves as an indicator of the dry deciduous forest type and has the potential to be utilized commercially or to support conservation programs. The development pattern, specifically in small-scale privately-owned forest (SSPF) in Gunungkidul, still relies on natural regeneration. The differences in management between agricultural (tegalan) and forested land (wana) affect the abundance and characteristics of A. spectabilis natural regeneration. Due to its great potential to be developed in the future, information on the abundance and natural regenerationin SSPF is needed. This study was conducted by creating observation plots in tegalan and wanain Sidoharjo Village, using uniform systematic sampling with a random start method and a sampling intensity of 10%. This study aimed to determine the density and diversity of tree stand as well as the distribution pattern of A. spectabilis natural regeneration. A total of 13 nested sampling plots (0.52 ha in total size) were made to observe seedlings, saplings, pole, and tree in each study area. The number and characteristics of natural regeneration were shown to be impacted by management differences between tegalan and wana. Wana had a high canopy closure of 91%, compared to 72% for tegalan. Additionally, the greater density value of 9423 ind. ha-1in wana compared to tegalan, which had 1154 ind. ha-1 at all growth levels with a random distribution pattern, showed a stronger potential for A. spectabilis for natural regeneration. The findings indicated that wana has a greater potential for seed sources with favorable environmental conditions for the survival of A. spectabilis natural regeneration.

Abstract. Fadhli N, Farid M, Azrai M, Nur A, Effendi R, Priyanto SB, Nasruddin AD, Novianti F. 2023. Morphological parameters, heritability, yield component correlation, and multivariate analysis to determine secondary characters in selecting hybrid maize. Biodiversitas 24: 3750-3757. Direct selection for grain yield traits in maize (Zea mays L.) is often inefficient under specific conditions, necessitating the accurate determination of secondary traits to facilitate implementation and enhance selection precision. This study aimed to examine the morphological parameters, heritability, yield component correlations, and multivariate analysis of hybrid maize for determining potential secondary traits through indirect selection. The experimental design employed a randomized complete block design (RCBD) comprising 17 genotypes, including 15 hybrid maize lines and 2 hybrid maize varieties (RK 457 and RK 57). The results revealed that weight of harvested cob character and yield traits demonstrated significant correlations with production. Correlation values were further analyzed using biplot analysis and path analysis to identify potential secondary traits. The principal component biplot analysis results indicated four characters as effective secondary traits for selection, namely weight of harvested cob, yield, weight of 1000 seeds, and moisture content. MSM53/BCY as a parent of JHD 05 displayed superior performance compared to the two commercial hybrid varieties. Based on path analysis results, the weight of harvested cob character exhibited the highest direct effect on production with a value of 0.93, indicating that weight of harvested cob is the best secondary trait for selection.

Abstract. Racharak P, Suttangkakul A, Vuttipongchaikij S. 2023. Comparative of the complete chloroplast genome and RNA editing of Eucalyptus camaldulensis T5 clone, an elite variety in Thailand. Biodiversitas24: 3774-3784. Eucalyptus camaldulensis, T5 clone, the excellent fast-growing tree plantation in Thailand, was analyzed for the complete chloroplast genome and RNA editing. The complete chloroplast genome revealed a total genome size of 160,204 bp that divided into a large single copy (LSC) (88,904 bp) and a small single copy region (SSC) (18,506 bp) by inverted repeat regions (IR) containing 26,397 bp. A circular mapping genome and gene order showed the circle antiparallel mapping gene of 135 genes, including 37 tRNAs, 10 rRNAs, and 1 pseudogene. GC content of the genome was 36.87%. The comparative genomes analysis between the T5 clone and E. camaldulensis from the NCBI database suggested that the thymine (T) and adenine (A) strongly impacted the indel and transversion process, which could be a point of mutation in the genome. Furthermore, 24 specific genes were used to investigate RNA editing. From all genes, only 11 genes were edited with C to U conversion.Triplet codons, tUA, tUt, tUg and Ugg were the most frequently edited codon and expressions; the crucial influence of amino acid alterations. Due to RNA editing events, the physicochemical properties of amino acids were changed from polar to nonpolar amino acids and from hydrophilic to hydrophobic amino acids. Physicochemical properties conversion is necessary to form complete amino acid sequences for several essential chloroplast proteins. The event might be the accumulation of amino acid alterations causing phenotypic variation for plant adaptation and evolution.

Abstract. Najih RR, Batoro J, Hakim L. 2023. Ethnobotany of spring waters based on species toponymy on the east slope of Mount Ijen, Banyuwangi District, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 3860-3871. Some spring waters in Banyuwangi are unique in terms of toponymy (place name), where local communities give names to springs based on plant species around the springs. This research aimed to (i) understand the names of the plants used as the design names for the springs, (ii) understand the plants in the offerings of the springs and (iii) explain the use of plants around the springs on the East Ijen Slopes, Banyuwangi District, Indonesia. A field study was conducted on the slopes of Mount Ijen. Research data were obtained from 50 informants through semi-structured interviews. This study used descriptive analysis and Relative Frequency of Citations (RFC). There were five toponymy species of springs, namely Pangium edule Reinw, Planchonia valida (Blume) Blume, Terminalia sp., Ganophyllum falcatum Blume, and Garcinia tetranda Pierre. Offerings dishes of springs were Pecel Pitik, Tajin Suro, Tajin Jenang Limo, and Tumpeng Serakat. There are 43 species of plants around the springs within 21 families. Plants with the highest RFC values were Gigantochloa apus (Schult. f.) Kurz ex Munro (0.62), followed by Ficus benjamina L. (0.4) and S. mahagoni (L.) Jacq (0.32). In terms of utilization, the toponymy species did not have the highest RFC value. Species with low RFC values have a greater possibility of extinction than other species.
Communicable Disease Surveillance through Predictive Analysis: A Comparative Analysis of Prediction Models
Authors: Go Villi Dane 
Published: September 2023

In recent years, the use of machine learning algorithms into public health procedures has demonstrated great promise in forecasting the emergence of communicable illnesses. This study compares machine learning methods, such as Random Forest, Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN), for improving communicable disease surveillance using data from the Province of Marinduque. The information ranges from 2015 to 2019 and includes illnesses such as Hand Foot Mouth Disease, Dengue, Typhoid, Influenza, Chikungunya, Rabies, Measles, Meningitis, Hepatitis, and Acute Bloody Diarrhea. The monthly morbidity rate acts as the criteria variable for prediction. The study used this dataset to establish the best effective machine learning model for illness prediction by measuring its accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The Random Forest model had the best accuracy of the models tested, demonstrating its promise for reliable illness incidence prediction. To evaluate the models' performance, the study employs the Evaluation Metrics of Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and F1-score.
The findings of this study can help to improve communicable disease monitoring systems, eventually assisting in the prompt detection and control of disease outbreaks.
