Authors: Setiawan Indra 
Published: December 2022

Transportation is something that is very important at this time. The standard standard of human life is increasing desire to realize higher transportation services. Some people make transport as a tool to generate income. Transportation services in Indonesia in general and Wonogiri in particular have a form split. One form of transportation service is to use two-wheeled vehicles, known as motorcycle taxis. The popularity of motorcycle taxis is increasing with the presence of online motorcycle taxis in Indonesia. However, this has had an impact on the economy, in particular the existence of conventional ojek (pangkalan). The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of online motorcycle taxis on conventional motorcycle taxis at Pangkalan Ojek Terminal Lama Wonogiri.
The results showed that online motorcycle taxis had an impact on reduced income at conventional ojek bases. The Wonogiri Lama Terminal conventional motorcycle taxi is not ready to compete with the online motorcycle taxi especially in following the customer's wishes and providing customer satisfaction. But the enthusiasm of the members of conventional motorcycle taxis is not diminished after the existence of online motorcycle taxis.
Suggestions for members of the Wonogiri Lama Terminal conventionoanal motorcycle base to be more responsive and active in exploring customer desires, more communicative with customers, or to make suggestions & criticism boxes placed at the base. In addition, it is necessary to create a standard in operating motorcycle taxis in providing services to customers.
Managing Employee Resistance during Organizational Change: Causes and Solutions Available.
Authors: Obina Fredrick , Adenike Susan 
Published: December 2022

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine how employee resist to change during organizational change and how human resource managers can use organizational strategies to manage employee resistance.
Methodology: The study adopted desktop research approach to review previous literature on the subject matter.
Findings: The study found that employees’ reactions to change depend on the benefits that they think will result from it. If employees believe they will profit from organizational change, they will support it but they will resist it if they feel it will make them lose status, prestige, earning power, or the job. In some instances, employees resist change because they have to learn something new. In many cases, there is no disagreement with the benefits of the new process, but rather a fear of the unknown future and about the ability to adapt to it. The study also found out that a significant number of human resource managers fear employee resistance and do not use resistance as an opportunity to engage and learn.
Conclusion: Evaluation of change will always lead to one of the four reactions: rejection, resistance, tolerance or acceptance.
Recommendation: Human resource managers should be trained to possess the requisite skills and competencies in change management so that they could efficiently handle all forms of resistance from employees. Also, the study recommend human resource managers to study the root causes of employee resistance to change so that appropriate corrective measures and strategies can be developed.

In this research, we hypothesized that Ormosia arborea (Vell.) Harms seedlings should grow better and achieve greater levels of gas exchange when grown in soils with higher water availability. Thus, this study was developed to assess the metabolic responses of the seedlings to different levels water availability. Irrigation was performed on alternate days, at water holding capacities (WHC) of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. The metabolic responses were analyzed at 15, 50, 85, and 120 days after starting treatments. The O. arborea plants grown in conditions of higher water availability (75% and 100% WHC) had higher leaf water potential and chlorophyll content, in addition to higher values for chlorophyll a fluorescence and gas exchange, than those grown in other conditions. Water deficit caused by low levels of water availability (25% or 50% WHC) reduces leaf water potential, chlorophyll a fluorescence, and gas exchange. As a strategy to tolerate stress, seedlings tend to invest in their antioxidant system, as shown by the high levels of activity of the enzymes Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Peroxidase (POD), and Catalase (CAT). Although the seedlings may be tolerant to cultivation under 50% WHC, the best functioning of the photosynthetic apparatus occurred under WHC of 75%.

As áreas de vegetação ripária são consideradas, pela Lei de Proteção da Vegetação Nativa (LPVN) (Lei 12.651/2012), como Áreas de Preservação Permanente. Este estudo busca identificar as percepções de agricultores do Sul do Brasil sobre a LPVN e sua importância na conservação da vegetação ripária. O estudo foi desenvolvido no estado do Rio Grande do Sul, envolvendo 90 agricultores, residentes no bioma Mata Atlântica, e 90, no bioma Pampa. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, enfatizando a LPVN e técnicas de recomposição de vegetação ripária. As informações foram registradas em um formulário, gravadas em meio digital e submetidas a um processo de análise de conteúdo e análise estatística. A maioria dos agricultores (86,11%) afirma conhecer as regras/orientações estabelecidas pela LPVN. Essa afirmação é maior entre os agricultores que possuem maior grau de instrução e maior quantidade de terra. Para 49,4% dos agricultores, a legislação apresenta importância para regrar as ações da população e, dessa forma, manter os serviços ecossistêmicos; porém, discordam das metragens estabelecidas, em razão de fatores econômicos. Os agricultores destacaram a importância de práticas de recomposição da vegetação ripária, por meio do plantio de mudas, em especial daquelas espécies que possuem um potencial para gerar benefícios financeiros. Os agricultores ignoram as diferenças entre espécies nativas e exóticas, para a recomposição da vegetação ripária.
Interception and surface runoff in different regeneration stages of Atlantic Forest, southern Brazil
Authors: Nicoletti Adilson Luiz , Refosco Julio Cesar , Pinheiro Adilson 
Published: December 2022

In natural regeneration, vegetation goes through different stages over time, each of them with different conditions to drain the precipitated water to the soil surface. The aim of this study was to evaluate interception loss, throughfall, stemflow and surface runoff in early and advanced stages regeneration at evergreen rainforest subtype sites within the Atlantic Forest, located in the Serra do Itajaí National Park, in southern Brazil. Rainfall was sampled by three rain gauges and throughfall was measured using "U" type gutters. The stemflow was measured in 24 trees per stage (i.e., 48 trees in total). The interception loss was calculated as the difference between rainfall and the sum of the throughfall plus stemflow. The surface runoff was evaluated using metal rails. Vegetation in the initial stage is a composition of 7 species with a basal area of 5.01 m².ha-1 and advanced stage site consists of 28 species with a basal area of 34.7 m².ha-1. Throughfall records were 81.7% in the initial and 74.1% in the advanced regeneration stages. The stemflows registered were 5.93% in the initial stage and 0.54% in the advanced stage while the interception losses were respectively 13.2% and 25.8%. Surface runoffs observations were 11.1% in the initial stage and 10.7% in the advanced stage. Statistically significant differences were found between the regeneration stages for the stemflow and for the interception loss parameters. The study showed that, for some hydrological processes, the behavior of the precipitated water differs for the stage of vegetation regeneration. The regeneration stage does not influence the surface runoff, demonstrating that after a few years of vegetation regeneration, this hydrological process is equivalent to vegetation in an advanced stage.
Corrosion Fatigue of Cast Propeller Alloys
Authors: Jaske Carl E. , Utah David A. , Boyd Walter K. 
Published: December 2022

The paper presents an outline of a new theoretical method for the calculation of the off-design performance characteristics of ducted propellers. The model for the duct performance calculation is an advanced non-linear model based on surface vorticity distribution techniques. The propeller model is a combination of principles postulated by momentum, blade-element and lifting line with lifting surface corrections theories of propeller action.
Results are presented of the application of the theory to the prediction of the performance analysis of a ducted propeller at two different coefficient of advance values. The results are compared with other theoretical and open water and tunnel experimental results for the propeller considered and the agreement found validates the concepts of the theory developed.
Full Scale Experience Relating to the Propeller and Its Environment
Authors: Carlton J. S. , Banlham I. 
Published: December 2022

The modern ship is generally the subject of a number of calculations and studies in an attempt to establish both its performance and vibration characteristics prior to the commencement of construction. However, these calculations depend for their accuracy and interpretation on information gained from full scale measurement and correlation exercises on previous ships.
It is therefore, the aim of this paper to present some of the full scale experience and conclusions relating to propeller problems which has been gained from the many investigations undertaken by Lloyd's Register of Shipping. Among the subjects discussed are the influence of the hull after-body on the wake and its consequent effects on propeller induced excitation of the hull and shafting systems, propeller cavitation and full-scale experience in the use of highly skewed propellers as a means of reducing propeller excitation. Comments are also made on service experience with flow correcting devices.
The problems discussed are not peculiar to any one class of ship but have been found to manifest themselves across a broad spectrum of ship types. It is upon this experience that the comments in the paper are based.
Model Tests on Hydrodynamics of Propeller Blade Vibrations
Authors: Hylarides S. 
Published: December 2022

By means of a specially designed propeller drive, steady vibrations of the propeller hub were generated, at constant advance speed and shaft rotation. By changing the frequency, resonance with blade vibrations could be realized. These tests have been performed for a non- rotating propeller in air and in water. Also, for the propeller operating in a homogeneous flow such a test has been performed.
By measuring the blade response, information of the resonance frequency and information about added mass of water and hydrodynamic damping is obtained. It is shown, that, although the damping is clearly present , still an appreciable magnification of the blade vibrations at resonance will occur.
Whereas close to or at resonance operation for large diameter, wide blade or highly skewed propellers is possible, these results have to be seriously accounted for when designing such propellers.

Participación ciudadana en sistemas de economía circular de residuos textiles: una primera aproximación
Authors: Grillo-Méndez Ana , Marzo-Navarro Mercedes , Pedraja-Iglesias Marta 
Published: December 2022

Los problemas medioambientales están provocando el paso de modelos económico lineales a circulares. En la industria textil, el desarrollo experimentado a partir de la gestión fast fashion, ha provocado un incremento de sus residuos. Los consumidores y consumidoras perciben la ropa como desechable, por lo que abandonan su uso debido a cambios en sus gustos y no por su deterioro. Esto está generando un problema medioambiental al acabar la mayoría de estos residuos en el vertedero. Una solución sería la participación en sistemas de economía circular en los que los residuos son considerados un recurso. Para que el sistema funcione es vital la participación de los consumidores/as a través de la recuperación, reutilización y reciclado de los residuos. El análisis del comportamiento de los ciudadanos y ciudadanas realizado pone de manifiesto la existencia de una alta concienciación con el reciclado de todo tipo de residuos, incluidos los textiles. Este reciclado se realiza fundamentalmente a través de la participación en los programas de recogida selectiva autorizados oficialmente y de la donación de ropa a la familia y amigos. Alternativas como su venta o canje por descuentos es poco utilizada. Los individuos que llevan a cabo estos comportamientos difieren según sus características sociodemográficas. Se detecta la confusión existente entre los conceptos de reutilización y reciclado, lo que hace que muchos residuos textiles acaben en el vertedero. Emergen dos grupos de ciudadanos y ciudadanas, atendiendo a sus opiniones sobre el destino de los residuos textiles, que se caracterizan por edad, ingresos y ocupación.
¿Influye una mayor transparencia en la mejor gestión de los recursos públicos? El ejemplo de los ayuntamientos españoles
Authors: Ríos Ana María , Guillamon María Dolores , Egea-Martínez José Miguel , Benito Bernardino 
Published: December 2022

La crisis financiera iniciada en 2008 y la aparición de numerosos escándalos relacionados con la gestión de los fondos públicos, han convertido la transparencia y la rendición de cuentas en cuestiones fundamentales en el estudio de todo aquello que es catalogado como “público”. Ello ha ocurrido con la esperanza de que la transparencia mejorase la información que ofrecen las entida-des públicas y sirviese como una barrera a las maniobras políticas fraudulentas, para las que se utilizan, entre otras herramientas, los presupuestos públicos. Por ello, esta investigación tiene como principal propósito comprobar si estas crecientes exigencias en materia de transparencia presupuestaria se han traducido finalmente en mejoras de la gestión pública. Así, a partir de datos obtenidos de los cien municipios españoles de mayor población para el periodo 2008-2017, se ha podido comprobar que una mayor transparencia conduce en general a una mejor gestión financiera por parte de los ayuntamientos. Sin embargo, se ha obtenido que en algunos casos el calado de las medidas adoptadas en materia de transparencia ha sido insuficiente o al menos no tan profundo como cabía esperar. Finalmente, puede concluirse que la transparencia presupuestaria es una herramienta adecuada para conseguirlo que se pretende de ella, pero necesita de complementos de carácter procedimental y, sobre todo, de recursos humanos, que la hagan funcionar de la mejor manera posible para cumplir con su cometido.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the infection of any part of the urinary tract, and about 150 million people worldwide develop UTI each year. Its is caused by bacteria, though fungi and viruses are etiologic agents, and can occur in community and hospital settings. This study was conducted to determine the epidemiology of pathogens causing urinary tract infections in Rural Communities of Enugu State, Nigeria. A total of 735 clean catch mid-stream urine samples were collected and tested for bacteriuria from February, 2021 to June, 2021. The participants were assessed clinically to ascertain eligibility for participation, and urine samples were assessed microbiologically to isolate pathogens causing UTI. Pathogens isolated were identified morphologically, and biochemically, and results were tabulated, with respect to participants demographics. Total number of participants that participated in urine culture was 735, of this number, 172(23.40%) were males, whereas 563(76.60) were females. 510(69.39%) were married whereas 225(30.61%) were single. Total number of bacterial isolates obtained was 649 (88.30%). Of this, Escherichia coli was the most prevalent, 316 (48.7%), followed by Staphylococci, 154 (27.7%). The least represented isolate was Pseudomonas, 2 (0.3%). Of the total number of isolates obtained, 151(23.27%) came from males, whereas 498 (76.73%) were from females. Total number of married participants with positive bacteriuria was 449 (69.18%), and those of them that were single constituted 198(30.51%). Age range of 31-40 gave the highest level of bacteriuria 151 (23.27%), followed by age range of 21-30, 146 (22.50%). The least representation of bacteriuria was seen among age group 10-20, 39(6.01%). The prevalent of UTI in this study was high, and females, youths, and married people showed a positive correlation with community acquired urinary tract infection. Intermittent screening of rural dwellers for positive bacteriuria, with emphasis paid on clinical symptoms and proper treatment will go a long way in tackling the menace of urinary tract infection in our rural communities.

Published: December 2022

Introduction: The short falls in the distribution of treated pipe borne water leads to resort to alternative sources of drinking water. Comparative analysis of sachet, bottle and tap water supply sources in Port Harcourt Metropolis Rivers State, Nigeria, was conducted by applying culture dependent methods in order to examine their qualities.
Methodology: Ten (10) samples comprising 4 bottle water samples from Rumuodara (zone B), Elekahia (zone C), Orogbum (zone G), and Mgbuoba (zone I), 4 sachet water samples from Rumukurushi (zone A), Borokiri (zone M), Rumuepirikom (zone J), Mgbuoshimiri (zone K), and 2 tap water samples from Rivers State University hostels NDDC and C were analyzed using standard analytical techniques.
Results: Twenty-seven (27) bacterial isolates identified in 5 of the 10 water samples were 12 (45%) Escherichia coli, 8 (30%) Streptococcus species, 4 (15%) Klebsiella species and 3 (10%) Staphylococcus aureus respectively. Total Plate Count on sachet water samples ranged from 0.1 to 1.2 cfu/ml while that of the tap water was 2.0 to 2.9 cfu/ml. In sachet water, Staphylococcus aureus ranged from 0.1 to 0.2 cfu/ml, where as 1.2 cfu/ml colonies was recorded for Streptococcus species. In tap water Escherichia coli ranged from 0.3 cfu/ml to 1.8 cfu/ml, whereas 0.4 to 0.8 cfu/ml was recorded for Streptococcus species and Klebsiella species respectively.There was no bacteria growth in the bottle water.
Conclusion: The findings show that the drinking water sources did not meet the approved acceptable limits of the World Health Organization (WHO) for drinking water though there was no growth of indicator organisms in the samples and no difference in the physicochemical variables. It is recommended that sachet and tap water supply in Port Harcourt Metropolis be properly treated before human consumption and other domestic purposes.
