The Implementation of Digital Validation of Certificate Name Change Documents at the Land Office of Makassar City

This study aims to determine the implementation of digital certificate file validation and to find out the obstacles in implementing digital transfer file validation. This type of research is a descriptive empirical research. Using a qualitative legal research approach. Based on the results of research and discussion, it is concluded that the implementation of digital transfer of file validation is a policy taken by the Head of the Makassar City Land Office who sees from the current situation that it requires to continue to carry out services to the community. There is no change in the transfer of land rights before and after online, in terms of the files needed to carry out the management of the certificate name transfer. Only before delivering it to the Land Office, all the completeness of the file must first be inputted from the PPAT office. As well as various obstacles that arise in the Implementation of Digital Certificate File Transfer Validation, namely internal barriers consisting of insufficient human resources (HR), the absence of definite legal provisions governing digital validation of transfer files and inadequate facilitation in Makassar City Land Office as well as external obstacles consisting of many heirs who live far apart, incomplete files and unclear files scanned by PPAT/Notary.

Proposal for Guidelines on the Notation and Investigation of Scientific Names for the Source of Natural Food Additives in Japanese Standards

The official specifications for food additives from natural sources list the species according to their scientific and Japanese names, thereby providing a unique identifier for the species. This helps to prevent the use of nonprescribed species, which might cause unexpected or unintended health hazards. However, there are cases in which the names of the source species listed in the official specifications differ from the accepted scientific names based on the latest taxonomic research. In this paper, we argue that it is more important to define scientific and Japanese names with an emphasis on traceability in order to control the range of food additive ingredients in a rational and sustainable manner. Therefore, we proposed a method for ensuring traceability as well as a specific notation procedure for scientific and Japanese names. Using this method, we examined the source species for three food additives. In some cases, the range of sources species expanded with the change in scientific names. Ensuring traceability is extremely important, but it is also necessary to confirm whether unexpected species are included when names are changed.

Walden’s New Journal! Journal of Sustainable Social Change

Walden University announces a change of name for its Journal of Social Change. The new name is the Journal of Sustainable Social Change and will focus more attention on both multi-level socio-economic and environmental systems and sustainability (defined as long-term quality of life)

Citizen science needs a name change

Amidst attention towards improving equality, inclusivity, and diversity, citizen science is woefully anachronistic in its name. There is a critical need for this field to distance itself from the exclusionary nature of the term ‘citizen’. We provide reasoning for abandoning this term and an outline for adopting a new name.

USING VIETNAM'S CURRENT CONTINGENT OF SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL INTELLECTUALS - REALITY AND SOLUTIONS

As a province in the Mekong Delta, Vinh Long located in the central location of the delta in the Lower Mekong River Basin. With many name changes, from May 05, 1992, the name Vinh Long has been used up to now. Vinh Long is known as the “Southern land of the talented”, the “sacred land of the talented”. After the liberation of the South and reunification of the country, Vinh Long intellectuals, including scientific and technological intellectuals, were continued to be respected by the revolutionary government, and thrived, making great contributions to the development of the province. In 2022, Vinh Long's population was 1,029,015 people, and labor force was 612,369 people, accounting for 59.5% of the population, of which scientific and technological intellectuals accounted for 5.42% (33,217 people). Number of scientific and technological intellectuals awarded bachelor, master to PhD degrees all increased. In addition, there is not much difference between male and female intellectuals in Vinh Long. Intellectuals aged from 30 years old to under 40 years old accounted for 38.22%, and intellectuals aged from 40 years old to under 50 years old accounted for 28.52%. In addition to the achieved results, Vinh Long's scientific and technological intellectuals also have many limitations such as: the number of scientific projects is not much; the implementation progress is still slow; in addition, intellectuals with PhD degrees are concentrated in universities. From the above facts, it is necessary to have solutions to develop scientific and technological intellectuals in Vinh Long province in the current period to effectively serve the local economic and social development.

The Soul of a Name: Finding Jacksie

It is a well-known and established fact that C.S. Lewis famously nicknamed himself, but the circumstances surrounding his name change have remained vague for more than a century. While two popular theories about why he changed his name have dominated Lewis studies, its dating has been less definite. Focussing on the date of the name change may, however, offer intriguing insight concerning its rationale. This article compares Flora Lewis's letters and a letter Warnie Lewis sent his parents with two of Warnie's reflections about the name change to conclusively determine the year it transpired and even narrow the exact dating to within only a few days of its occurrence. In addition, it is suggested that this dating, coupled with other personal reflections about the name change, may lend sufficient weight to tip the scales towards one name-change theory.

Is Social Gender Transition Associated with Mental Health Status in Children and Adolescents with Gender Dysphoria?

Social gender transition is an increasingly accepted intervention for gender variant children and adolescents. To date, there is scant literature comparing the mental health of children and adolescents diagnosed with gender dysphoria who have socially transitioned versus those who are still living in their birth-assigned gender. We examined the mental health of children and adolescents referred to the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS), a specialist clinic in London, UK, who had socially transitioned (i.e., were living in their affirmed gender and/or had changed their name) versus those who had not socially transitioned. Referrals to the GIDS were aged 4–17 years. We assessed mental health correlates of living in one’s affirmed gender among 288 children and adolescents (208 birth-assigned female; 210 socially transitioned) and of name change in 357 children and adolescents (253 birth-assigned female; 214 name change). The presence or absence of mood and anxiety difficulties and past suicide attempts were clinician rated. Living in role and name change were more prevalent in birth-assigned females versus birth-assigned males. Overall, there were no significant effects of social transition or name change on mental health status. These findings identify the need for more research to understand how social transition influences mental health, including longitudinal studies that allow for more confident inferences to be made regarding the relationship between social transition and mental health in young people with gender dysphoria.

Renaming of Settlements of the East Kazakhstan Region in 1900-1917 as a Violation of the Stability of the Toponymic System

The object of the study is the toponymic space of the East Kazakhstan region in 1900-1917. The purpose of the article, based on the data of the State Archive of the Republic of Kazakhstan, is to identify the problems that provoked the change of the toponymic system of East Kazakhstan in 1900-1917. As the main method, we used descriptive-analytical, involving systematization, description and sequential analysis of toponymic material. Methods of etymological, morphemic and word-formation analysis were used. The analysis of documents of the Semipalatinsk regional administration related to the change of names of settlements of the East Kazakhstan region and the renaming of Russian-language names of some settlements is presented. According to archival documents of 1910, it is clear that the attempt of the local (Kazakh) population to preserve the former names by translating into Russian was not carried out (Orders No. 10030 of August 19, 1910 and No. 4397 of March 15, 1910), while the names of counties where new settlers arrived and Russian-language names associated with the natural specifics of the location of the settlement and the economy of the population. As a result of the study, we see that the names of toponyms of the indigenous population of the region in the period under review have undergone changes created artificially.

(2945) Proposal to reject the name Commelina nimmoniana (Commelinaceae)

(2945) Commelina nimmoniana J. Graham, Cat. Pl. Bombay: 224. Jun–Dec 1839 (Angiosp.: Commelin.), nom. utique rej. prop. Neotypus (vide Nandikar & Gurav in Phytodiversity 2: 81. 2015): India, Maharashtra, Mumbai, Malabar Hill Garden, 28 Sep 2013, Nandikar 1432 (SUK). The name Murdannia semiteres (Dalzell) Santapau (in Poona Agric. Coll. Mag. 41(4): 15. 1951) (Commelinaceae) has long been in near-exclusive use for a well-known species, distributed throughout tropical Asia and Africa. This species was originally described as Aneilema semiteres Dalzell (in Hooker's J. Bot. Kew Gard. Misc. 3: 138. 1851) based on specimens from Konkan, India. It is characterised by fleshy, subulate, semiterete leaves and Santapau (l.c.) transferred it to Murdannia Royle (Ill. Bot. Himal. Mts.: 403. Mar–Apr 1840). Two other species with similar vegetative features were described from India, namely, M. juncoides (Wight) Rao & Kammathy (in Bull. Bot. Surv. India 6: 3. 1965) (≡ Dichoespermum juncoides Wight, Icon. Pl. Ind. Orient.: t. 2078. 1853) and M. sahyadrica Ancy & Nampy (in Willdenowia 42: 79. 2012). Graham (Cat. Pl. Bombay: 224. 1839) described Commelina nimmoniana J. Graham (≡ Murdannia nimmoniana (J. Graham) Bole & M.R. Almeida in J. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. 83: 593. 1986 [‘1987’]) with the description “A small plant with discoloured linear pointed leaves.” Original materials of this name are not available, as the author did not cite a type nor could any specimen available to Graham be traced. Brenan (in Kew Bull. 7: 184. 1952) on the basis of the scanty description referred to Graham's name as a “nomen subnudum”. Consequently, POWO (https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:172881-1) did not recognize the name Commelina nimmoniana J. Graham (l.c.) as validly published and considered it to have been effectively published (inadvertently) at a later date, citing it as C. nimmoniana J. Graham ex C.B. Clarke in Candolle & Candolle (Monogr. Phan. 3: 191. 1881). The discoloured needle-like leaves, the features given by Graham (l.c.) are equally applicable to three species of Murdannia: M. juncoides, M. sahyadrica, and M. semiteres. Bole & Almeida (l.c.) synonymised M. semiteres (Dalzell) Santapau under M. nimmoniana. Nandikar & Gurav (in Phytodiversity 2: 81. 2015) designated a neotype for the latter name and treated M. juncoides and M. sahyadrica as varieties of it. Nampy & Joby (in Rheedea 18: 57. 2008) discussed the ambiguity concerning the identity of M. juncoides and treated it as distinct from M. semiteres based on its bulbous base, phenology (flower opens in the afternoon) and the seed-testa characteristics. Murdannia sahyadrica is distinguished by its orbicular petals, stamens arranged symmetrically around the central erect style, ovoid capsules and uniseriately arranged seeds. Dalzell's (l.c.) epithet, as Murdannia semiteres (Dalzell) Santapau, has been almost consistently used by subsequent workers in floristic works in parts of Africa, India and South-East Asia. However as neotypified by Nandikar & Gurav (l.c.), the earlier M. nimmoniana, based on Commelina nimmoniana, has priority over M. semiteres. Although Graham (l.c.) provided information on the form of the leaves and the colour of the flowers, this proves insufficient to ascertain Graham's intended identity for the name C. nimmoniana. Accepting M. nimmoniana would disrupt the widely accepted usage of M. semiteres, which appears in checklists and floristics works covering parts of Africa, India and South-East Asia (Malaisse in Troupin, Fl. Rwanda 4: 140. 1988; Karthikeyan & al., Fl. Ind. 2. Monocot.: 29. 1989; Nguyen, Checkl. Pl. Sp. Vietnam 3: 468. 2005; Faden in Fl. Trop. E.

Tamil Nadu Compend.: 308. 2021) and online databases such as African Plant Database (https://africanplantdatabase.ch/en/nomen/11801), The Catalogue of Life (http://www.catalogueoflife.org/annual-checklist/2019/details/species/id/01d4fb2360d2d32ab6795076a4e28cc6), Flora of Zambia (https://www.zambiaflora.com/speciesdata/species.php?species_id=225830), GBIF (https://www.gbif.org/species/2764823), and POWO (https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:172881-1), all accessed 13 Dec 2022. In this context the only way to avoid this disadvantageous change of name and to ensure nomenclatural stability in the future is to reject Commelina nimmoniana J. Graham and the combination based on it.

The Administration of the President of the Russian Federation and Political Parties: institutional and political mechanisms of interaction (1991-1999)

The subject of the study is the process of transformation of the structures of the Presidential apparatus responsible for ensuring a continuous dialogue between the head of state and parliamentary parties and movements, most of which in the 1990s were adjacent to the opposition camp. The purpose of the work is to identify the key factors that influenced the formation and further diversification of departments of the presidential administration interacting with the Russian party-political spectrum in the crisis situation of the 1990s, based on the use of various sources (normative legal acts, analytical materials of political journalism, electronic resources). Problem-chronological, formal-legal, institutional, systemic and structural-functional approaches are used as the main methods. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the almost complete absence of works examining the history of the formation and evolution of the Presidential Administration from the angle of the impact of the party-political and electoral factor on this institution. In the course of the conducted research, it was possible to establish that interaction with socio-political associations was not the main activity of the Presidential Administration in the 1990s. Only after the restoration of the Communist Party, as well as the election of the opposition Duma (1993), a department appeared in the Presidential Administration that oversaw interaction with the new parliamentary fronde. The main task of this structural unit (despite the frequent change of names, numbers and responsibilities) was its participation in the implementation of a common strategy for the political containment of anti-presidential (anti-communist, anti-reformist) forces in a crisis situation. At the same time, the activities of the department for working with parties in the context of the general anti-communist strategy of the 1990s were of an auxiliary (technological) nature, while the main political issues were resolved by the first persons of the opposing sides at a personal (behind-the-scenes-informal) level.

ОБРАЗ РОСТОВА-НА-ДОНУ В ПОЭМЕ А.И. СОЛЖЕНИЦЫНА «ДОРОЖЕНЬКА»

The article for the first time examines the image of Rostov-on-Don, captured in the third and fourth chapters of A.I. Solzhenitsyn’s autobiographical poem “Dorozhenka”. The city is given in the perception of the lyrical hero Sergei Nerzhin, who recalls his childhood and adolescence. When describing Rostov in the late 1920s and early 1930s, the poem carefully restores the lost historical outlook of the city and tells readers about churches and temples destroyed under Soviets, the forced change of names of the streets, etc. Special attention is paid to memories of home and close people with whom the lyrical hero passed his childhood. A bright tangible image of the city with its unique sounds, smells, colors, and socio-cultural atmosphere of those years appear before the reader. Depicting Rostov-on-Don during the NEP period, Solzhenitsyn draws attention to the key feature of that time: on the one hand, there is an illusion of the return of prerevolutionary life, on the other – the pressure of the totalitarian state is increasing. This finds artistic embodiment in the image of a city with a vertically oriented structure. On the high there is a light–flooded, warm, cheerful, dynamic Rostov, below, in the “damp shadow” of the GPU – a city, which is cold, frozen, dull and gloomy, hostile to men. The world of the Gulag grows imperceptibly for the townspeople into a familiar, outwardly calm space. Unlike most, Sergey Nerzhin tries to comprehend his personal experience in a general historical context, to understand himself and the world around him. The autobiographical hero’s memories of his childhood and adolescence spent in Rostov-on-Don become an important step on the way to his spiritual rise.

Name Changes for Fungi of Medical Importance, 2020 to 2021.

The current article summarizes recent changes in nomenclature for fungi of medical importance published in the years 2020 to 2021, including new species and revised names for existing ones. Many of the revised names have been widely adopted without further discussion. However, those that concern common pathogens of humans may take longer to achieve general usage, with new and current names reported together to engender increasing familiarity with the correct taxonomic classification.

Impact of Corporate Name Change on Stock Prices: Evidence from BSE

The study examines the impact of the corporate name change on stock prices. By employing the event study methodology, efforts have been made to analyze how the market reacts to the corporate name change of companies during the years 2019 and 2020 listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). The results suggested that corporate name change hardly impacts stock prices and shareholders’ wealth. Our findings also indicated that investors are rational in India. The t-test has been used to test the significance of the results. The study adds to the literature as few studies have been conducted in the Indian context that analyzed the impact of the corporate name change on stock market reactions and has provided inconclusive results.

Distribution and conservation of near threatened plants in China

Plants classified as Near Threatened (NT) are at high risk of becoming threatened because of anthropogenic interference and climate change. Especially in conservation efforts, such species have however long been overlooked. Here, we obtained 98,419 precise occurrence points for 2442 NT plants in China, and used species richness, species complementarity, and weighted endemism that consider all, endemic and narrow-ranged species in order to identify the diversity hotspots of NT plants. Then we evaluated the conservation effectiveness of current nature reserves for them. Our results indicate that the diversity hotspots of NT plants were mainly confined to southwestern and southern China, and only 35.87% of hotspots and 71.5% of species were protected by nature reserves. Numerous hotspots in southwestern China (e.g., Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi, and Hainan) were identified as conservation gaps. Given that NT plants include large proportions of endemic and narrow-ranged species, they represent an important value in conservation priority. So, more conservation efforts in the future should be tilted towards NT plants. Additionally, when comparing with the recently updated NT list, there are already 87 species raised to threatened categories, while 328 species were lowered to least concern, 56 species were now categorized as data deficient, and 119 species considered as uncertain due to changes of scientific names. It is essential to carry out a continuous assessment of species' threatened categories to realize targeting conservation.

"A Change of Name during Sickness"

This paper synthesizes and summarizes a selection of literature—largely anthropological and ethnographic, published between the early 18th and early 21st centuries—that describes the practice of renaming a person who is physically ill in order to affect their recovery. In none of these publications is this particular practice central; rather, it is often mentioned alongside myriad other cultural and naming practices. While no claim is made as to the exhaustive nature of the literature review, this analysis reveals patterns and similarities related to the reasoning behind such a practice and the special relationship between personal names and physical health in a wide variety of world cultures.

Overview and New Insights into the Metabolic Syndrome: Risk Factors and Emerging Variables in the Development of Type 2 Diabetes and Cerebrocardiovascular Disease.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is considered a metabolic disorder that has been steadily increasing globally and seems to parallel the increasing prevalence of obesity. It consists of a cluster of risk factors which traditionally includes obesity and hyperlipidemia, hyperinsulinemia, hypertension, and hyperglycemia. These four core risk factors are associated with insulin resistance (IR) and, importantly, the MetS is known to increase the risk for developing cerebrocardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The MetS had its early origins in IR and syndrome X. It has undergone numerous name changes, with additional risk factors and variables being added over the years; however, it has remained as the MetS worldwide for the past three decades. This overview continues to add novel insights to the MetS and suggests that leptin resistance with hyperleptinemia, aberrant mitochondrial stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS), impaired folate-mediated one-carbon metabolism with hyperhomocysteinemia, vascular stiffening, microalbuminuria, and visceral adipose tissues extracellular vesicle exosomes be added to the list of associated variables. Notably, the role of a dysfunctional and activated endothelium and deficient nitric oxide bioavailability along with a dysfunctional and attenuated endothelial glycocalyx, vascular inflammation, systemic metainflammation, and the important role of ROS and reactive species interactome are discussed. With new insights and knowledge regarding the MetS comes the possibility of new findings through further research.

Effects of Resistance Exercise on Cognitive Performance and Depressive Symptoms in Community-Dwelling Older Chinese Americans: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

Previous literature has suggested physical exercise may improve cognitive impairments and mitigate depressive symptoms. However, few studies examined the impact of resistance exercise intervention on cognition and depression in older Chinese Americans. The purpose of this pilot study was to assess the effects of resistance exercise training on cognitive performance and depressive symptoms among community-dwelling older Chinese Americans. The study was a two-arm randomized controlled trial with pre-test/post-test design. Thirty older adults were randomly assigned into the resistance exercise intervention group or the wait-list control group. Participants' cognitive performance and depressive symptoms were evaluated at baseline (pre-test) and at 12 weeks (post-test). The results showed that there were significant differences between the intervention and control groups on changes in symptoms of depression, global cognitive function, visuospatial/executive functions, attention, language, and orientation. However, there were no significant differences between both groups on changes in naming, abstraction, and delayed recall domains. The findings of this study suggest that resistance exercise training has a positive impact on improving cognitive performance and depressive symptoms in older adults.

Along with the development of the number of tourist visits, also grows various stars hotels in Bali which causes room revenue is no longer the only large income for the hotel so that there is a need for additional sources of income for the hotel, which is restaurants. This research aims to determine the menu mix and contribution margin, and to find out the menu classification also the efforts made to increase sales volume. This research used analysis method with menu engineering approach. This analysis approach used to assess the popularity and profit of a menu item. The results of this research show 32% of the menu included in the “stars” category, 36% of the menu included in the “plowhorses” category, 4% of the menu included in the “puzzles” category, and 28% of the menu included in the “dogs” category. So, the efforts that should be made such as: maintaining the quality, reducing the portion of the menu, menu placement, up to the menu name change.
