Authors: Kathayat Arjun 
Published: September 2023

<p>The specific problem of this research was it was unknown if/to what extent safety-specific leadership style predicted employee safety performance in the oil and gas industry. The purpose of this research was to examine if/to what extent the safety-specific transformational leadership style of managers predicted employee safety performance in the oil and gas industry in southeast Saskatchewan, Canada. This research's methodology was quantitative, and the research design was simple linear regression. The researcher employed a convenience sampling method and invited 41 business organizations that provided products and services to the oil and gas industry and the business organizations which actively explored, extracted, produced, refined, and transported the oil and gas energy in southeast Saskatchewan, Canada. This research used 89 valid anonymous responses from 32 business organizations in the data analysis. The statistical test of the simple linear regression showed that managersâ€™ safety-specific transformational leadership styles in the oil and gas industry in southeast Saskatchewan, Canada, could significantly predict employees' safety performance. This research has broad implications since 32 business organizations offered multiple products and services to the local oil and gas industry, including construction, transportation, welding, equipment maintenance, and services. Also, this research has broad generalizability, significant Cronbach's alpha values for measuring instruments, a medium to large effect size, and higher confidence in the findings. This research encourages the oilfield industry to promote and grow more safety-specific transformational leaders for higher employee safety performance excellence. </p>
Female Veterans’ risk factors for homelessness: A scoping review
Authors: Short Michael , Felder Stephanie , Baird Lisa Garland , Gamble Brenda 
Published: September 2023

LAY SUMMARY Homelessness is a problem among female Canadian Veterans. Approximately 15% of the Canadian Veteran population is female, yet female Veterans constitute approximately 30% of the homeless Canadian Veteran population. In response, the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs has called for the investigation of homelessness among female Canadian Veterans to address this research gap. A scoping review was conducted on the lived experiences of homeless female Veterans to identify factors associated with homelessness. This review was the initial step in a larger research framework to investigate the lived experiences of homeless Canadian female Veterans. Fifteen articles met the inclusion criteria and were included for synthesis. Four themes were identified, corresponding with the period in which they occurred (pre-military service, post-military service, during military service, and across the lifespan). Several implications are clear. First, Canadian research on female Veteran homelessness is needed. Second, future research must use a framework that accounts for multifactorial and multi-dimensional issues, as well as a sex- and gender-based analysis lens.

Evaluasi program bimbingan adalah usaha menilai efisiensi dan efektivitas pelayanan bimbingan itu sendiri, khususnya seluruh kegiatan dalam rangka program bimbingan yang dikelola oleh staf bimbingan (Winkel & Hastuti, 2005). Evaluasi pelaksanaan bimbingan merupakan kegiatan menilai keberhasilan layanan dalam bidang bimbingan pribadi, sosial, belajar dan karir (Thantawy, 1995). Untuk menilai suatu keberhasilan maka diperlukan evaluasi program. Menurut Myrick (Badrujaman, 2011) bahwa lima alasan yang menjadi faktor penghambat guru pembimbing tidak melakukan evaluasi program bimbingan dan konseling tidak melakukan evaluasi meliputi: (1) Guru bimbingan dan konseling tidak memiliki cukup waktu melakukan evaluasi program bimbingan dan konseling. (2) Guru bimbingan dan konseling kurang memiliki pengetahuan dan keterampilan dalam melaksanakan evaluasi program bimbingan dan konseling. (3) Adanya ketakutan guru bimbingan dan konseling terhadap akuntabilitas. (4) Guru bimbingan dan konseling tidak merasa bermasalah kalau tidak melaksanakan evaluasi program bimbingan dan konseling. (5) Guru bimbingan dan konseling berpersepsi bahwa hasil evaluasi program sulit diukur.

Authors: Indah Ika Nurmalia , Herlina Eli , Saroni Saroni 
Published: September 2023

This research is motivated by the problem of teaching materials used by teachers and students. So far, persuasive text teaching materials used in class VIII SMP/MTs are still very limited. The learning process with a lack of appropriate techniques and media is one of the factors in learning persuasive texts that are less attractive and difficult. The formulation of the problem in this study is formulated as follows. (1) How do the teaching materials present persuasive texts with serial picture media for Grade VIII students of SMP/MTs?; (2) Are teaching materials presenting persuasive texts using serialized images media appropriate to be used as alternative teaching materials for class VIII students of SMP/MTs?; (3) How is the student's response to teaching materials presenting persuasive texts with serial picture media for Grade VIII students of SMP/MTs?
The purpose of this research is to know and describe: (1). teaching materials presenting persuasive texts with serial picture media for class VIII students of SMP/MTs; (2) the feasibility of teaching materials in presenting persuasive texts with serial picture media for class VIII students of SMP/MTs; (3) student responses to teaching materials presenting persuasive texts with serial picture media for class VIII students of SMP/MTs.
The method used in this research is descriptive method with a qualitative approach. The data sources for this study were respondents, namely two Indonesian language teachers as validators and five students of class VIII SMP. Meanwhile, the data in this study were from previous research, reference books, and similar research journals. The techniques used are interview techniques and questionnaires or questionnaires.
Based on the results of the study it can be concluded as follows. (1) The teaching materials are arranged in a systematic and structured manner in accordance with KD in the 2013 Curriculum. The teaching materials present persuasive texts with serial picture media including instructions for using modules, concept maps, core competencies, student worksheets

and answer key sheets. Teaching materials presenting persuasive texts have two learning activities, namely examining the structure and language rules of persuasive texts and presenting persuasive texts. (2) The results of the combined validation between material experts and media experts obtained an average value of 86.50%. This value indicates that teaching materials presenting persuasive text with serial image media are very valid and appropriate to use. (3) The results of student responses or responses as a whole to teaching materials, obtained an average value of 87.5. This value indicates that the five students responded very well to teaching materials presenting persuasive texts using serial picture media.
Legal Ambiguity and Land Dispossession: Multi-Scale Conflicting Views on Territorial Authority at the Herlen Bayan-Ulaan State Reserve Pasture Area, Mongolia.
Authors: Undargaa Sandagsuren 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The Mongolian government pursues various objectives that are often assumed to benefit citizens, including socio-economic development, biodiversity conservation and innovative technologies in the agricultural sector to adapt to climate change. But, for pastoralists, these activities have allowed the appropriation of pastoral lands from their home jurisdictions, the process of which is often murky and ambiguous. The vision for development held by different international and national agents sometimes fails to recognise the complexity inherent in converting pastoral land for alternative economic and conservation development. This paper examines a recent legal battle focused on the Herlen Bayan-Ulaan State Reserve Pasture Area, where different stakeholders put forward contested claims of authority over rural jurisdictional territories. The conflict is rooted in the ambiguous and conflicting co-existence of liberal and statist approaches to socio-economic policies applied by the Mongolian government. Whereas the socialist period system's imposition of exclusive state control reduced local actors' (government and residents) control and authority over resources governance, the post-socialist period system promoted 'alternative economic and conservation activities' and protected state and individual property rights, leaving mobile pastoralists with highly ambiguous claims. This paper argues that the state ought to have a specific role of providing an adequate legislative and executive framework to support more complex interdependent multi-scale pastoral institutions. This paper describes the changing role of the state in land governance, wherein the state has assumed all management and financial authority while subjecting pastoralists to conflicting legislative and executive policies. This has eroded the local systems of land and resource governance and created an open access scenario, allowing appropriation of jurisdictional pastoral lands. This trend of exclusive state control has the implication of contradicting and dismantling a longstanding interdependent pastoral institutional environment and has been counterproductive to enhancing natural resource management and the adaptive capacity of local actors to climate change.

Authors: Serina Khatun  
Published: September 2023

The silk dye effluent is one of the most potential harmful chemicals liberated in the environment in an unexpected manner. Silk dye waste is widely used as a potent dyeing of yarn and fabrics in many countries and has been shown to produce some adverse health effects. This work focuses primarily on the effects of Moringa oleifera leaf extract on testis of silk dye effluent induced surface ultrastructure in Swiss albino mice Mus musculus. The testis has been taken an account for surface ultrastructural study. The mice were divided into 5 Groups i.e. Group I (Control), Group II (fed with 50% silk dye), Group III (fed with 100% silk dye), Group IV (mice fed with 50% dye treated with M. oleifera leaves powder), Group V (mice fed with 100% dye treated with M. oleifera leaves powder) have been taken for experiment. The dose of silk dye was 2ml/day to both groups II and III and M. oleifera leaf is given as per the standard dose (300mg/kg b.w) to both animals of group IV and V. Administration of silk dye waste result were demonstrated disrupted spermatids, cessation of seminiferous tubule cell, irregular cavity, lump of seminiferous tubules, disrupted interstitial cell and occupied spermatogonial cells but used of Moringa oleifera leafs powder it was significantly recovered the damage tissues has been observed. This study suggested that the extract may have beneficial effect on surface ultrastructural constituents such as Testis.

The marginalization correlatives of high homicide neighbourhoods in the City of Toronto
Authors: Bavcevic Zeljko 
Published: September 2023

<p>This research uses homicide and marginalization data from the city of Toronto in order to understand whether, or to what extent, socio-economic marginalization has an impact on homicide counts at the neighbourhood level. This research uses a three stage methodology to answer this question. Firstly, a negative binomial regression was used to understand the relationship between socio-economic marginalization and lethal violence at the neighbourhood level. The residuals of this model were used to understand where and how this relationship varied. Next, Emerging Hot Spot Analysis was used to determine which Toronto neighbourhoods had high levels of homicide across time. Finally, the marginalization characteristics of these areas were examined to provide insight. This research found that the only marginalization variable that had a statistically significant impact on homicide counts was Material Deprivation. This echoes the criminological consensus on the subject. With regards to the Emerging Hot Spot Analysis, it was demonstrated that homicide in the city of Toronto does exhibited spatially and temporally persistent clustering.</p>

Ownership reform and the changing manufacturing landscape in Chinese cities: The case of Wuxi
Authors: Zhou Lei , Yang Shan , Wang Shuguang , Xiong Liyang 
Published: September 2023

<p>Since the economic transition, manufacturing in China has undergone profound changes not only in number of enterprises, but also in ownership structure and intra-urban spatial distribution. Investigating the changing manufacturing landscape from the perspective of ownership structure is critical to a deep understanding of the changing role of market and government in re-shaping manufacturing location behavior. Through a case study of Wuxi, a city experiencing comprehensive ownership reform, this paper presents a detailed analysis of the intra-urban spatial shift of manufacturing, identifies the location discrepancies, and examines the underlying forces responsible for the geographical differentiations. Through zone- and district-based analysis, a distinctive trend of decentralization and suburbanization, as well as an uneven distribution of manufacturing, is unveiled. The results of Location Quotient analysis show that the distribution of manufacturing by ownership exhibits distinctive spatial patterns, which is characterized by a historically-based, market-led, and institutionally-created spatial variation. By employing Hot Spot analysis, the role of development zones in attracting manufacturing enterprises of different ownerships is established. Overall, the location behavior of the diversified manufacturing has been increasingly based on the forces of market since the land marketization began. A proactive role played by local governments has also guided the enterprise location decision through spatial planning and regulatory policies.</p>

Published: September 2023

<p>Teen dating violence (TDV) victimization is a traumatic experience that can have adverse consequences for adolescents. Current measures that assess TDV do not fully distinguish between psychological and relational forms of aggression, nor do they capture aggressive acts that are common within adolescent relationships. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Teen Dating Aggression Measure (TeDAM) using a sample of 730 Canadian adolescents (<em>M</em> = 15.88 years, <em>SD</em> = 1.23). The measure is an expansion of the Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory and includes items that describe other forms of violence such as coercion and control, along with more traditional indicators of dating violence (e.g., sexual aggression). Factor analyses yielded three factors, namely psychological aggression, sexual and physical aggression, and relational aggression, which were correlated with more frequent cannabis and alcohol use as well as rape myth acceptance. These results provide initial support for the utility of the TeDAM for assessing TDV with adolescents.</p>

EVALUATION OF THE IMPACT OF IVERMECTIN ON THE PREVALENCE OF MICROFILARIA AFTER 20 YEARS IVERMECTIN DISTRIBUTION IN SOME LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS OF ADAMAWA STATE NIGERIA
Authors: Pukuma S. M. , Lucky D. , Qadeer M. A. 
Published: September 2023

The attempt to control Onchocerciasis through the distribution of Ivermectin in Adamawa state has been ongoing for the past 20 years The current study assessed the impact of Ivermectin drugs on the prevalence of microfilaria. Eight (8) communities were selected in Four LGAs, Tongo, Song, Yola South and Hong for the study. The prevalence of microfilaria was determined using skin snip. Out of 396 Participants whose skin snip was collected only 6(2%) tested positive. The results obtained showed prevalence of microfilarial as follows; Kwapre (2%), Kukta (4%), Bolki (3%) and Ganzamanu (3%). Whereas Shashau, Dalasum, Bando and Bantaje communities had zero (0%) prevalence. Microfilaria prevalence in relation to gender was significant (P>0.05). Males had higher infection (2.0%) compared to female (1.0%). The microfilaria prevalence in these communities in 1989 was between 40-61%, compared to the current 2% in 2019 in the same selected communities. In addition, clinical signs in 1989 showed nodules 3%, Skin Disfiguration 3%, Blindness 2% while result obtained in 2019 showed Nodule 0.4%, Skin disfiguration 1% and blindness none (0.0%). In 1989 Bolki (8%) and Gangzamanu (4%) had the highest prevalence of microfilaria, but much lower in the current study 3% and 1% respectively. The results showed very low endemicity of the disease as a result of over 2 decades of Mass Drug Administration of Ivermectin in the LGAs. This implies the continuous distribution of the drugs has interrupted the transmission. Hence the objective for the administration of the drug was achieved.
