Authors: Bugay Marcelito A. 
Published: August 2022

A plethora of Filipinos who work in the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) Industry face communication challenges in interacting with Americans. This study identified the oral communication challenges that deviate from the standard American English. The results were used as basis for input to English for Specific Purposes (ESP) program for BPO agents. Six trainees/agents working in the BPO industry were purposively selected based on the following criteria: lower than 90% quality evaluation scores given by the onshore quality analysts, exuded communication challenges on their calls, have been working in the BPO industry for at least one year, and are part of the three-week nesting process. Results revealed that the oral communication challenges of the trainees/agents are focused on pronunciation, syntax, and phrase/sentence construction. Thus, assessment and evaluation of varied teaching methods and techniques must be done to address the challenges in English proficiency.

Entrepreneurship itself is a system or process of creating something that can be of monetary or additional value in the economy. In entrepreneurship, one thing that needs to be strengthened is that interest is encouraged by positive motivations from those closest to you. And interest is a movement of the heart and mind to make an object as a target because the object attracts sympathy and creates a feeling of pleasure towards the object. While motivation is a condition that can change or encourage and direct the desires and interests of individuals to carry out entrepreneurial activities. Likewise with young entrepreneurs, young entrepreneurs will be successful if they are surrounded by people who provide motivation and encouragement that are constructive. And the example I take here is how to build the spirit of young people in developing a business selling various takjil during the fasting month starting from kolding, coconut ice, fried foods and so on.

Taking randomness for granted: the complexities of applying random number streams in simulation modelling
Authors: Selmair Maximilian 
Published: August 2022

Uncertainty, as a constant companion of our world, is one major reason why simulation modelling takes precedence over static calculations to achieve accurate predictions. Computational random number generators are able to algorithmically determine values on the basis of random distributions, which utilise seed values to calculate streams of random numbers. This deterministic approach to replicating seemingly non-deterministic numbers ensures stochastic models to be reproducible at any time – one of the major requirements of simulation models. However, there are some pitfalls in the application of random number streams in modelling and simulation, which may even mislead experienced developers. In addition to a general introduction of the history of random number generators, this article shares empirical considerations and means by which the utilisation of random number streams can be improved to deliver valid and reliable results.
On the question of the valence of emotive verbs in the Russian dialects of the Amur region
Authors: Fang Haixu , Sadchenko Valentina Tarasovna 
Published: August 2022

The subject of the study is the valence characteristic of a group of verbs in the Russian dialects of the Amur region, characterized by secondary formation and localization in the territory of late settlement. Russian Russian dialects The relevance and novelty of this work lies in the fact that the specificity of verbal valence in Russian dialects remains poorly understood; for the first time an attempt has been made to study the valence properties of one of the lexico-semantic groups of dialect verbs, which are recorded in the second edition of the "Dictionary of Russian Dialects of the Amur region". Using the methods of continuous sampling, descriptive-analytical and comparative analysis, the classification of the studied linguistic units was developed and the valence properties of emotive verbs were revealed. In the course of the study, 62 verbs with the meaning of an emotional state were identified, of which 31 verbs are actually lexical dialectisms. The material allowed us to distribute the selected emotive verbs into 3 lexico-semantic groups: monovalent, divalent and trivalent. The observations have shown that the valence properties of a dialect verb are due to the component composition of its lexical meaning and may differ from their literary counterparts. Russian Russian dialects of the Amur region can contribute to the construction of a general characteristic of the valency properties of the morphological class of verbs, as well as to the identification of differences in the combinational possibilities of the verbs of the Russian language in the aspect of its regional existence.

ABSTRACT
Australia’s 2019–20 mega-fires burnt 79% of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area, prompting an urgent need for rapid on-ground post-fire assessments of flora and fauna to aid in post-fire recovery. This project aimed to determine spatial patterns in populations and assemblages of vertebrates, vertebrate temporal activity, and the diet of the invasive Red Fox Vulpes vulpes, across burnt and unburnt sites. Using remote camera traps we surveyed 12 unburnt and 10 burnt sites approximately 12 months after the fires. We detected 41 species (11 mammals, 28 birds and 2 reptiles), with different species composition, but similar vertebrate species richness across both unburnt and burnt sites. The relative abundance of the Eastern Grey Kangaroo Macropus giganteus, Common Wombat Vombatus ursinus and Australian Magpie Gymnorhina tibicen was higher in burnt sites, while small mammals (&lt; 500 g) had higher relative abundance at unburnt sites. There was no difference in the relative abundance of the Superb Lyrebird Menura novaehollandiae across burnt and unburnt sites, and although 11 species of bird were only detected at unburnt sites, the numbers were too low for reliable estimates of differences. Red Fox scat analysis (n=23) revealed that invertebrates and plant material were the dominant prey items in both burnt and unburnt sites, but medium-sized mammals increased in Red Fox diets in burnt sites, and reptiles were consumed disproportionately more by Red Foxes in burnt compared to unburnt sites. Although the short-term nature of this study and low scat sample size limited detailed insights, our rapid survey was an effective tool to gain preliminary data on species responses to the 2019–20 megafires in the Blue Mountains and contribute to a baseline for understanding species recovery.
GUAYRÁ
Authors: Soares Isabelle 
Published: August 2022

Marco Aurélio Cremasco, autor de Guayrá (2017) é paranaense natural de Guaraci-PR. A maioria de suas obras literárias são livros de poesias. Como ficcionista, além de Guayrá, destaca-se a obra Santo Reis da Luz Divina (2007) cujo enredo trata da Guerra do Paraguai, um período histórico marcante e bastante lembrado na América Latina. Já a história do Guayrá e das missões jesuíticas no território que hoje é grande parte do Paraná caiu no esquecimento popular. Nesse sentido, o romance Guayrá se torna um “lugar de memória”, pois fez ressurgir, de forma inusitada, esse momento histórico à memória paranaense. Contudo, ao iniciarmos a leitura do que aparenta ser um romance histórico sobre um período já esquecido da história do Paraná, percebemos que as intenções do autor vão muito mais além do simples gesto de lembrar.

AbstractPurposeThis study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of defining an in vivo dosimetry (IVD) protocol as a patient‐specific quality assurance (PSQA) using the bead thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) for point and 3D IVD during brachytherapy (BT) of gynecological (GYN) cancer using 60Co high‐dose‐rate (HDR) source.MethodsThe 3D in vivo absorbed dose verification within the rectum and bladder as organs‐at‐risk was performed by bead TLDs for 30 GYN cancer patients. For rectal wall dosimetry, 80 TLDs were placed in axial arrangements around a rectal tube covered with a layer of gel. Ten beads were placed inside the Foley catheter to get the bladder‐absorbed dose. Beads TLDs were localized and defined as control points in the treatment planning system (TPS) using CT images of the patients. Patients were planned and treated using the routine BT protocol. The experimentally obtained absorbed dose map of the rectal wall and the point dose of the bladder were compared to the TPSs predicted absorbed dose at these control points.ResultsRelative difference between TPS and TLDs results were −8.3% ± 19.5% and −7.2% ± 14.6% (1SD) for rectum‐ and bladder‐absorbed dose, respectively. Gamma analysis was used to compare the calculated with the measured absorbed dose maps. Mean gamma passing rates of 84.1%, 90.8%, and 92.5% using the criteria of 3%/2 mm, 3%/3 mm, and 4%/2 mm were obtained, respectively. Eventually, a “considering level” of at least 85% as pass rate with 4%/2‐mm criteria was recommended.ConclusionsA 3D IVD protocol employing bead TLDs was presented to measure absorbed doses delivered to the rectum and bladder during GYN HDR‐BT as a reliable PSQA method. 3D rectal absorbed dose measurements were performed. Differences between experimentally measured and planned absorbed dose maps were presented in the form of a gamma index, which may be used as a warning for corrective action.
