Covid-19 Pandemic Coping Strategies in a Complex Landscape of Crisis Communication: A Participatory Study with Disability Organisations in Sweden
Authors: Lundälv Jörgen , Nilsson Elisabet M. , Eriksson Magnus 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The article challenges the notion that crisis communication is a matter of outreach of a single message communicated as “one voice” from official channels speaking to the public about how to prepare for and manage crisis situations. The Covid-19 pandemic has made it evident that the general public is accessing multiple channels for crisis information while the crisis situation, the rules and knowledge are constantly changing. An array of different voices, facts, (fake) news and recommendations are channeled via public service, social media, national and international media. Most of this content is accessed and shared via digital channels, but also via communities, workplaces, and between friends and families living in the same country or abroad. This article presents insights gained from a qualitative study addressing disabled people whose everyday lives have always been characterized by extraordinary circumstances, and continuously so also during the Covid-19 pandemic. The aim was to create an understanding of disabled people’s crisis-specific media practices and their ways of coping with situations caused by the pandemic. Through a national online survey study and workshops, it explores how disabled people experience the pandemic, and how crisis information flows affect trust between authorities and the disability movements. The study should be read in the light of the Swedish Covid-19 strategy, which put a strong emphasis on the individual’s responsibility and that every citizen is expected to follow the recommendations and take precautionary measures to limit the spread of the virus. This approach requires that both public agencies and citizens are capable of navigating the emerging complex crisis communication landscape and requires them to make responsible decisions and take relevant measures.

Authors: Milanović Vesna , Matić Andrea Bučalina , Golubović Jelena 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The subject of the research in this paper was the examination of satisfaction with the internal communication dimensions that have the strongest correlations with job satisfaction, which are: supervisor communication and personal feedback. Therefore, if employees are satisfied with these communication dimensions, their job satisfaction will be at a satisfactory level. The goal of the research was to determine satisfaction with the observed communication dimensions based on the employees’ attitudes. Managers’ and non-managerial employees’ attitudes towards the observed communication dimensions are presented, also. On the sample of 72 respondents, using descriptive statistics, the results have shown that the employees are not satisfied with the observed dimensions, also, the non-managerial employees are less satisfied than the managerial ones. The results are useful since they provide a description of the observed dimensions and findings of the previous studies, especially the ones which investigated the relationship between satisfaction with the observed communication dimensions and job satisfaction. The results may be useful for (Serbian) managers in the process of managing the observed communication dimensions. The sample size limits the generalizability of the result.

Published: May 2022

Abstract
The paper builds on previous international research done by Masiero et al. (2020). It applies on Slovak national level and expands the previous study with different study programs. The societal transformation towards bioeconomy provides an opportunity for changing current economy and societies into more sustainable ones with mitigation of the environmental pressures at hearts. Such societal transition requires involvement of all stakeholders in bio-economy discussion and decision-making process and studying their perceptions of bioeconomy. Amongst all the stakeholders, future generation is particularly important, as it is important to understand bioeconomy perception by the generation of stakeholders that will manage this area in the near future. For that reason, we focus our attention on students of three bioeconomy related areas at the Technical University in Zvolen (forestry studies, wood processing studies and natural resources management studies). We were able to identify significant differences in bioeconomy perception between analyzed categories. The familiarity with the concept is quite high, as more then two thirds have heard about bioeconomy before the survey was conducted. As the main information sources were selected news, university courses and social media. The study program had a greater impact on perceived importance of forests within bioeconomy than the type of study. Overall, students perceive development of forest-based bioeconomy as favouring sustainable forest management.
The Role of Nature in New England Puritan Theology: The Case of Samuel Willard
Authors: Wolfe Stephen M. 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
This article discusses the role of nature in the theological system of New England minister Samuel Willard (1640-1707). I focus specifically on his account of theological anthropology, the relationship of nature and grace, and the moral (or natural) law, and show how each relates to his views on civil government and civil law. Willard affirmed the natural law, natural religion, and natural worship, and he acknowledged and respected pagan civic virtue and grounded civil order and social relations in nature. Willard’s theological articulations are substantively the same as those found among the ‘Reformed orthodox’ theologians of 17th century Europe, which provides evidence for the thesis that Reformed orthodoxy was a transatlantic movement. His reliance on nature also corrects scholarship on the New England Puritans, which often assumes that they rejected the Christian natural law tradition.
Proposal of a prediction model for prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention based on galectin-3 and soluble growth stimulating expressed gene 2 levels

Published: May 2022

Abstract
Background: To study the correlations of serum galectin-3 (Gal-3) and soluble growth stimulating expressed gene 2 (sST2) levels with prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: A total of 112 patients diagnosed from August 2015 to October 2017 were selected. They were followed up for 3 years. Based on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) during follow-up, they were divided into MACE and non-MACE groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the independent risk factors for MACEs. A nomogram model was established using the factors and validated. The optimal cut-off values of Gal-3 and sST2 levels were determined by receiver operating characteristic curves. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis.
Results: MACEs occurred in 78 patients during follow-up. Patients in the MACE group were more often hypertensive, had higher total cholesterol, uric acid, sST2 and Gal-3, and lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (P<0.05). CK-MB, sST2, Gal-3 and LVEF were the independent risk factors for MACEs (P<0.05). The nomogram model established with these factors had high accuracy for predicting overall survival, and its concordance index (C-index) was 0.768 (95% confidence interval: 0.692-0.865). The prognosis of the patients with Gal-3 ≥12.57 μg/ mL and sST2 ≥18.56 ng/mL was poorer 3 years after PCI.
Conclusions: The levels of serum Gal-3 and sST2 are the independent risk factors for MACEs in AMI patients following PCI, with high prognostic value.

Improving the Efficiency of Grinding Process Using the Rubber-Pasted Grinding Wheel
Authors: Do Duc Trung , Hoang Xuan Thinh , Le Dang Ha 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
This paper studies the efficiency improvement of AISI 4140 steel external cylindrical grinding process. Experiments were carried out with two types of grinding wheels, a conventional and the rubber-pasted grinding wheels. With each type of the wheel, nine experiments were performed. Cooling fluid, spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut are variables in the experiments. Two outcomes used to evaluate grinding efficiency are surface roughness and material removal rate (MRR). Experimental results demonstrate that the surface roughness achieved in the grinding operation using the rubber-pasted grinding wheels is smaller than using the conventional wheel. The Data Envelopment Analysis-based Ranking (DEAR) method was applied to determine the optimal values of the input parameters for the “minimum” surface roughness and “maximum” MRR in the cases of using each grinding wheel. It is found that the optimization of the input parameters in this circumstance are equal. Several grinding experiments for examining the values of the variables were also performed for both the wheels. The results also confirm that the surface roughness in the grinding process with the rubber wheels is about 19.42% smaller than the conventional wheels.

Published: May 2022

Abstract
A mathematical module for predicting and analysing the drawing forces is formed and verified. The process used in the current study is drawing. Geometric parameters of the deformation zone and the “selective transfer phenomenon” are also taken into consideration. The experimental verification is conducted through two tests: In the first test, the experimental blanks are cylindrical rods (steel 45, length 150 mm), and are preliminary turned, and the drawplate made of steel 9xc, are used. Regular micro-relief (RMR) hardens the working surfaces of the drawplate. In the second test, the same conditions are applied except for the samples, which represent solid cylindrical billets made of steel 45 with a complicatedly modified surface layer, including a brass film, regular microgeometry and a “servo-witte” copper film. As a result, in the first experiment, the discrepancies are in the range of -29.1% up to +23%. In the second experiment, the discrepancies are in the range of +1.38% up to +48.9%.
The Correction Factor Taking Into Account the Effect of Mass Transfer on the Heat Transfer Coefficient
Authors: Gužela Štefan , Dzianik František 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Various factors affect the processes that take place in the devices. Knowledge of these factors is important, especially for technical practice. If these were omitted in the design of the device, the expected changes in the properties of the substances would probably not occur in the device. Different processes occur in the devices, often involving simultaneous heat and mass transfer through the interfacial area. In this case, it is true that the description of the heat transfer cannot be based on ordinary laws. It is necessary to proceed from their corrected forms because, generally, the mass transfer influences the heat transfer. This impact can be taken into account using the correction factor adjusting the commonly reported relationships, as mentioned in this article.

Published: May 2022

Abstract
This study is to identify the most important control elements that will result in improve the tensile strength of Laser Beam Welded Cu-Ni 90/10 alloy joints. The different laser welding process parameters and levels were used for joining of Cu-Ni alloy. The process parameters like Laser Power (LP), Shielding Gas (argon) (SG), Focal Position (FP), & Welding Speed (WS) were chosen in the experimental study. The welding was carried on 4mm thick plate as per Taguchi’s experimental design. The mechanical properties were evaluated and microstructural observations were carried out. It was discovered that highest tensile strength of 234 MPa & hardness of 83 Hv were obtained which has 90 % and 87 % of the base material. The most influential optimal process parameters were determined using S/N analysis and the percentage contribution of each process parameter was estimated using ANOVA. It was found that laser power was influential parameter with a 64 % contribution in obtaining highest strength of laser welded joints. The experimental values and the results of the confirmation experiments were in good agreement.

Published: May 2022

Abstract
The economic reality, under the impact of the pandemic crisis caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has acquired a dimension difficult to anticipate, characterized by an extremely high degree of uncertainty. In order to reduce the negative impact of the uncertainty of the pandemic on economic activity, the state has been forced to intervene by adopting measures to support the business environment, both immediately, in the very short term and in the long term. The challenges for entrepreneurs were innumerable, the business management being under the dominant influence of some disturbing factors coming from the external environment of the economic entities, respectively the epidemiological context from a certain moment. Through this study we aim to make an analysis of the impact, in terms of financial performance, that the support measures adopted by the state had on the decisions of entrepreneurs regarding the continuity of their business. The case study highlights, through a comparative approach, the period before the pandemic versus the pandemic period, the influences on the performance and results recorded by an economic entity in the field of HORECA, one of the most affected areas.

Authors: Boharu Mircea Mihaela-Raluca , Savu Andreea-Cristina , Diana Bolcu Leliana , Nicolic Deian 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The role of the professional accountant has evolved with the development of accounting science. During this process, the professional accountant should not limit his training to only university courses, as his performance is linked to the continuous development of his skills and knowledge in the field. The current economic context outlines the necessity for a new type of professional accountant, one who is constantly up to date with legislative changes, always ready to implement aid schemes offered by the state, always able to support the business environment affected by the crisis. Considering all these aspects, the objectives of this article are directed towards answering the following questions: Can professional development and coordination by professional bodies prepare the accounting profession for the future? What are the conditions for professional evolution and professional revolution, considering extreme changes? Does personal responsibility for lifelong learning and career development represent necessary conditions for professional evolution? How can the professional evolution of the accountant be supported by professional associations? The methodology of the research is based on approaching the problem both theoretically and practically by studying the literature and analysing the legislation and the application of international standards in the field. A possible result of this article would be the estimation of the extent to which a coordinated professional development should be based on professional training, which triggers the challenges that professional accountants must face, and how professional bodies could intervene in the processes by updating the regulations, determining, thus, successful coordination within uncertain future scenarios.
A Classification Schema for Designing Augmented Reality Experiences
Authors: Bangay Shaun , McKenzie Sophie 
Published: May 2022

Aim/Purpose: Designing augmented reality (AR) experiences for education, health or entertainment involves multidisciplinary teams making design decisions across several areas. The goal of this paper is to present a classification schema that describes the design choices when constructing an AR interactive experience.

Background:	Existing extended reality schema often focuses on single dimensions of an AR experience, with limited attention to design choices. These schemata, combined with an analysis of a diverse range of AR applications, form the basis for the schema synthesized in this paper.

Methodology: An extensive literature review and scoring of existing classifications were completed to enable a definition of seven design dimensions. To validate the design dimensions, the literature was mapped to the seven-design choice to represent opportunities when designing AR iterative experiences.

Contribution: The classification scheme of seven dimensions can be applied to communicating design considerations and alternative design scenarios where teams of domain specialists need to collaborate to build AR experiences for a defined purpose.

Findings: The dimensions of nature of reality, location (setting), feedback, objects, concepts explored, participant presence and interactive agency, and style describe features common to most AR experiences. Classification within each dimension facilitates ideation for novel experiences and proximity to neighbours recommends feasible implementation strategies.

Recommendations for Practitioners: To support professionals, this paper presents a comprehensive classification schema and design rationale for AR. When designing an AR experience, the schema serves as a design template and is intended to ensure comprehensive discussion and decision making across the spectrum of design choices.

Recommendations for Researchers: The classification schema presents a standardized and complete framework for the review of literature and AR applications that other researchers will benefit from to more readily identify relevant related work.

Impact on Society: The potential of AR has not been fully realized. The classification scheme presented in this paper provides opportunities to deliberately design and evaluate novel forms of AR experience.

Future Research: The classification schema can be extended to include explicit support for the design of virtual and extended reality applications.
Effects of Renovation on Ventilation and Energy Saving in Residential Building

Published: May 2022

Renovation usually increases the aesthetic and market value of buildings. Consequently, with the rapid growth of the city's population and skyrocketing demand for decent housing, the current trend of building conversion and renovation of existing and dilapidated property stock within city centres has become rampant. The rise in demand has pushed beyond the boundaries that every real estate investor wants to maximize profit, and it has resulted in the prevalence of uncontrolled building development, land use conversion, and non-compliance with building requirements, etc. Renovations that involve changes in building elements (especially the window system) that can influence energy saving and ventilation efficiency have thus become very common. However, the effects of building renovations on ventilation and energy efficiency have not been fully examined, particularly in Enugu (Nigeria), a rapidly growing colonial metropolis. This research employed a qualitative research approach to investigate the effects of building renovation on ventilation and energy saving in Achara layout, Enugu City, Nigeria. Four blocks of flat residential buildings were the derived sample size using a judgmental sampling technique. Physical measurements, an observation schedule, and oral interviews with site workers centred on window size, area, property, and fenestration type were used to collect empirical data involving the window system. The result reveals a very significant difference between the as-built and renovated window design systems of all studied variables. Its conclusion hinged on the fact that a renovated structure does not encourage effective natural ventilation and hence will consume more energy in cooling and lighting. It recommends the re-introduction of appropriate window systems and construction techniques for the tropical environment to reduce heat stress build-up within building units.
