Published: January 2022

The West Amazon peoples show a low economic and social development pattern, even when there are plenty of natural resources. It looks like there is a huge gap between these resources, the investments, the knowledge, and the public policies able to create a better life quality for the Amazonians. This work looks forward to promoting the development of the Amazon according to ways shown by the creative economy and the U Theory, special attention will be given to the Amazonian situation and the path to its cognitive development and subsequent economic development. The work is in the academia and communities that search for a viable alternative to creative and sustainable development. From this standpoint, the proposed general objective is to study the instrumentation of the creative economy with input from the U theory. As specific objectives: to perform a critical analysis of the raised concepts (1); to point towards the circularity elements of the creative economy in the community (2); and refer to the acknowledged instrumentation in this study in support to the creative economy, having as baseline the U Theory (3). Hence, the problem proposed is: how the concepts brought up by the creative economy with the support of the U Theory can contribute to the West Amazon’s economic, social and sustainable development promotion. It is meant as qualitative research with a content analysis method, in which the data was gathered through bibliographic search and interviews. In the results, it is proposed a competence and ability management space to the leaderships, beginning at the Amazonian home.

Published: January 2022

Nursing’s body of knowledge is ever expanding, incorporating new theoretical constructs such as quality and safety and care transitions we now consider central to the domain of nursing, and to nursing clinical education. The purpose of this article is to describe an educational quality improvement project, an alternative clinical learning experience during COVID-19 that enabled the implementation and evaluation of Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students in an intentional quality rounding process. We designed and implemented a retrospective, observational quality improvement educational project. Programmatic evaluation was used to obtain feedback from 273 pre-licensure students using a 10-item Likert scale evaluation tool in June 2020. Students averaged a 4.33 rating on the evaluation of the intentional quality rounding clinical experience as something they should incorporate into future nursing practice. A critical role for nursing education is the development of innovative teaching strategies and learning experiences that facilitate the student in the translation and application of complex constructs from nursing’s expanding body of knowledge, a task made more difficult by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Heinrich von Treitschke: Entre as Leituras de Émile Durkheim e Raymond Aron
Authors: Dos Santos André Luiz Maranhão Agostinho
Published: January 2022

Este artigo destaca duas leituras influenciadas pelo texto Politik, do historiador Alemão Heinrich von Treitschke (1834-1896). A primeira é encontrada na publicação “L’Allemagne au-dessus de tout: la mentalité allemande et la guerre”, da autoria de Émile Durkheim (1858-1917) em 1915. Já a segunda leitura aparece no livro Paix et Guerre Entre les Nations, assinado por Raymond Aron (1905-1983) em 1962. O artigo se volta para os principais pontos de Treitschke, destacados nas abordagens de Durkheim e Aron, e tem como objetivo analisar em que medida as diferenças das visões durkheimianas e aronianas respondem satisfatoriamente à perspectiva de Treitschke. Como leitores peculiares, Durkheim e o Aron da Guerra Fria oferecem duas chaves importantes, uma vez que o poder político, suas configurações e possibilidades, também emergem como pontos de discussão bibliográfica e reflexões sobre os riscos, acertos e imposturas intelectuais, diante da diplomacia, relações internacionais e sociologia.

Published: January 2022

Penelitian ini menjelaskan tentang hubungan antara ilmu dan moral. Hubungan antara ilmu dan moral adalah sangat erat bahwa setiap usaha manusia untuk menyelidiki, menemukan, dan meningkatkan pemahaman dari berbagai segi harus berpedoman pada ajaran agama dan paham ideologi dalam bersikap dan bertindak. Sementara itu tanggung jawab ilmuwan di masyarakat adalah suatu kewajiban seorang ilmuwan untuk mengetahui masalah sosial dan cara penyelesaian permasalahan sosial tersebut. Seorang ilmuwan mempunyai tanggung jawab sosial, bukan saja karena dia adalah warga masyarakat yang kepentingannya terlibat secara langsung di masyarakat namun yang lebih penting adalah karena dia mempunyai fungsi tertentu dalam kelangsungan hidup bermasyarakat. Fungsinya selaku ilmuwan tidak berhenti pada penelaahan dan keilmuan secara individual namun juga ikut bertanggung jawab agar produk keilmuan sampai dan dapat dimanfaatkan oleh masyarakat. Hakikatnya ilmu itu mempunyai nilai Netral (nol), dengan ilmu itu netral maka perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan bisa berkembang. Sehingga tidak tercampuri dengan suatu hal yang dapat menjadikan ilmu atau itu sendiri menjadi terhambat dalam perkembangannya.
IDEOLOGICAL VIOLENCE TOWARDS THE ETHIOPIAN ORTHODOX TEWAHIDO CHURCH IN THE POST-1960s
Authors: Molla Ademe Solomon
Published: January 2022

The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church (EOTC) is one of the religious institutions in Ethiopia. EOTC has faced some challenges, which have created both physical and epistemic violence on it. This study analyses the two historical events that the EOTC and its believers faced with epistemic and physical violence. It argues that Ethiopian elites and intellectuals used ideologies and new experiences inappropriately to analyse the existed contexts in these two historical events, which in consequence created violence on the EOTC and its believers. Investigating these historical events that made violence on the EOTC is very important as the EOTC and the believers have been facing with violence so far. Through thematic analysis, this study concludes that considering the EOTC as the past feudal regimes’ tool that oppresses some ethnic groups in Ethiopia; and viewing the EOTC as an Amhara’s institution have been continuing. The study integrates how elite’s inappropriate use of ideologies or new experiences for analysing the existed contexts, which caused violence on EOTC and its believers.

Membuat kain batik menggunakan pewarna alami untuk kalangan terbatas (ceruk pasar) secara ekonomis memiliki nilai jual tinggi karena citra yang dibangun memberikan kesan etnik dan eksklusif. Dalam upaya untuk memperluas segmentasi, pewarna alami yang memiliki stabilitas dan konsentrasi pigmen yang tinggi serta spektrum warna yang luas diperlukan. Berdasarkan pengalaman mengubah orientasi produsen batik ke penggunaan pewarna sintetis karena mereka mudah diperoleh dan lebih praktis dalam prosesnya. Salah satu jenis pewarna alami yang telah dikembangkan adalah nila. Indigo memiliki peran besar dalam sejarah pewarnaan alami di dunia termasuk orang Indonesia yang selalu menggunakan pewarna nila alami untuk memberi warna biru (wedel) dalam pembuatan batik tradisional kuno. Itulah sebabnya di kelasnya warna nila memiliki ketahanan warna yang unggul terhadap cahaya, pencucian klorin, gosok, dan keringat. Pasta nila dibuat melalui proses oksidasi indoksil dalam suasana basa. Untuk digunakan sebagai pewarna, reduksi kembali menjadi pigmen nila diperlukan. Jenis dan jumlah reduktor serta waktu sangat mempengaruhi kesempurnaan proses reduksi. Masalah penelitian yang diangkat adalah bagaimana membuat solusi reduksi nila yang siap untuk pewarnaan yang tetap stabil selama 1 minggu dan dapat mengurangi tahapan proses pewarnaan nila dalam upaya untuk mendapatkan aspek praktis dari pewarna alami. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa kinerja formaldehida sebagai pengawet dipengaruhi oleh suhu panas larutan dalam proses perendaman dan waktu setelah kain disimpan selama 3 bulan, sehingga selama 7 hari tidak dapat mempertahankan stabilitas warna bila dibandingkan dengan hasil pewarnaan dengan metode standar

At the same time, English news reports in China also try to express and build a harmonious relationship between man and nature. It reflects that China follows the ecological order concept of “harmonious co-existence between man and nature” and the ecological basis of “man and nature are the community of life”.
Interaction between Body-swapping and Time-travel in the Movie "Your Name"
Authors: Feng Hui
Published: January 2022

In this work, I examined different perspectives on the film Your Name, accompanying these notions by the theme of gender opposition and its relation to the ideas of body swap and time travel. The main conclusions are drawn as follows: The concept of ‘body swap’ in Your Name give ‘time travel’ a new definition. It helps the two characters to have recognition to their identities. Gender stereotypes in Japanese lead to the protagonists being questioned because of body exchange, which promotes the growth of the role. Hence, in Your Name, the idea of body swap does not only refer to gender and identities or time swap. It is the exchange from environments to characters’ mental state to traditions, Shinkai motivates the audiences to have a transpositional consideration.

Conservation-oriented restoration and its application to Central Asia
Authors: Volis S.
Published: January 2022

Continuing wide-scale habitat degradation and species extinctions indicate that existing plant conservation practices are inadequate and new approaches are needed. I briefly summarize the major principles of a previously proposed concept called conservation- oriented restoration and compare it with two other approaches to tackling ecosystems' degradation and biodiversity loss: traditional restoration and species-targeted conservation. I then present my perspective on how this concept can be applied in Central Asia as a possible solution to the regional biodiversity crisis.

Authors:   Department of Textile and Apparel Designing, CCSc., MPUAT, Udaipur, Rajasthan, Soni Shalini , Babel Sudha
Published: January 2022

Covid-19 has necessitated mask use to safeguard oneself from coronavirus. The mask usage and safety practices followed by the public in India are reported in this paper. Sixty per cent of the subjects purchased masks on their own while 19 per cent stitched their masks; masks were used regularly (76%) for less than 4 hours (64.22%). During the lockdown, at workplaces, masks were removed for less than 30 minutes per day. Subjects reported that safety feeling was experienced when masks were donned (87%); felt that masks were unnecessary in Covid-19 unaffected areas/cities (67 %); whilst 47 per cent admitted to pulling down masks during use. An interesting fact emerging from the study was that the younger populace adhered less conscientiously to regular mask use as opposed to the elderly; paradoxically the elderly (49 and above) were the ones to pull down masks more frequently during use than the younger ones. Amongst them, 25 per cent repeated it 1-2 times a day. It was heartening to observe that most people (89%) exercised caution during mask use. A positive significant relationship existed between age and employer modes on regular mask usage; a highly positive significant relation was seen between the employment sector and regular mask use and a negative correlation among profession and mask use. Two-way ANOVA between demographic data on type and regular mask use yielded a significant difference. A highly significant relationship between gender, employer mode, and profession on different types of safety measures; and a significant relationship between the level of education and safety measures were found.

Published: January 2022

The study was designed to evaluate the physico-chemical, microbial and sensorial quality of beef incorporated with different levels of vinegar at refrigerated storage (4±1ºC). Fresh beef samples were divided into three different batches i.e. T0 = control (without vinegar), T1 = 5% vinegar and T2 = 10% vinegar. The samples were evaluated for sensory properties (color and flavor), physico-chemical properties (pH, cooking loss, FFA, POV and TBARS) and microbial counts (TVC, TCC and TYMC) on 0, 7 and 14 days of storage at 4ºC. The obtained results showed that addition of different levels of vinegar significantly (p<0.05) influenced on sensory, physico-chemical and microbiological properties compared to control samples. Comparatively better color and flavor were found in T1 and T2 respectively among the treatments (p<0.05). Lower pH was observed in T1 and T2 compared to control treatment. POV, FFA and TBARS values were found better in T1, whereas the other treatments fluctuated slightly. The lowest microbial counts were significantly lower in higher vinegar treated groups along with at different day’s intervals in TVC, TCC and TYMC (p<0.01). It might be stated from the experiment that vinegar is a means of fresh beef preservation for a short time. From this study, it also concluded that 10% vinegar is effective for short term preservation of beef satisfactorily at refrigerated condition.
ANONİM ŞİRKETLER HUKUKU UYUŞMAZLIKLARININ ARABULUCULUĞA ELVERİŞLİLİĞİ VE ELVERİŞLİLİĞİN TESPİTİNDE ÖLÇÜT ÖNERİLERİ

Published: January 2022

Hukuk uyuşmazlıklarında resmi arabuluculuk 2013 yılından itibaren Türkiye’de uyuşmazlık çözümünün önemli bir bileşeni haline gelmiş, 2017 yılında dava şartı olarak düzenlenmesiyle birlikte ise adeta yargının bir eklentisi haline gelmiştir. Ancak bir yargılama faaliyeti olmaması, üçüncü taraf ve kamu menfaatlerini gözeten bir karar verici tarafından yürütülmemesi, bütünüyle taraf iradesiyle şekillen bir süreç olması nedeniyle arabuluculuğa her hukuki uyuşmazlık konu olamayacaktır. Arabuluculuğa elverişlilik bakımından kanun koyucunun belirlediği “tarafların üzerinde serbestçe tasarruf edebilecekleri iş veya işlemlerden doğan özel hukuk uyuşmazlıkları” ölçütü son derece genel ve çerçevesi bakımından belirsizdir. Çok yönlü menfaat denge ve döngüsünün hâkim olduğu şirketler hukukunda, ifade olunan “tasarruf serbestisinin,” dolayısıyla “arabuluculuğa elverişliliğin” sınırları daha da belirsiz hale gelmektedir. Bu çalışmada anonim şirketler hukuku uyuşmazlıkları bakımından arabuluculuğa elverişliliğe ilişkin bazı değerlendirmelerde bulunulmakta ve elverişliliğin tespiti hususunda bazı ölçütler önerilmektir. İlgili değerlendirme ve öneriler yapılarına uygun düştüğü ölçüde diğer sermaye şirketleri bakımından da caridir.
Does External Debt Service Devalue Local Currency in the Long Run? Empirical Evidence from Egypt
Authors: Elhendawy Emad Omar
Published: January 2022

The aim of this study is to identify the extent to which there is an effect of external debt service on the exchange rate in Egypt in the long run, where the change in the exchange rate has great importance in changing currency value and thus affecting its function as a store of value and a standard for forward payments and then in the redistribution of income and wealth, It also has an effect on some macroeconomic variables, such as inflation, exports, imports, and thus the current account. The study examines the estimation of the long-run relationship between the external debt service and the exchange rate in Egypt in the period 1980-2019 and relies on the exchange rate of the dollar against the Egyptian pound as a dependent variable, while the explanatory variables were the external debt service, gross capital formation, broad money growth, deposit interest rate, household final consumption expenditure, gross savings, and terms of trade adjustment. The methodology is based on Vector Error Correction (VEC) and the study concluded that there is a significant long-term relationship between the value of the Egyptian pound and all the variables explained in the study, as the error correction coefficient is negative and significant. Also, there is an inverse statistically significant relationship between the value of the Egyptian pound and each of the external debt service, the deposit interest rate, and gross savings; any change of 1% in the external debt service, the deposit interest rate, and gross savings leads to a devaluation of the Egyptian pound against the dollar by 4.8%, 0.04%, and 0.05%, respectively. The study also concluded that there is a positive, statistically significant relationship in the long term between the value of the Egyptian pound and each of gross capital formation, broad money growth, households' and NPISHs' final consumption expenditure, and terms of trade adjustment, as any change of 1% in these variables leads to an increase in the value of the Egyptian pound by 0.16%, 0.05%, 0.27%, and 6%, respectively. This study recommends that decision makers consider all the reasons that would reduce the external debt service in order to preserve the value of the Egyptian currency in the long run.
Apuntes del antiguo Japón en los documentos jesuitas de los siglos XVI y XVII
Authors: González Bolado Jaime
Published: January 2022

Durante casi un siglo (1549-1639) los miembros de la Compañía de Jesús trataron de evangelizar Japón. Fruto del contacto entre los jesuitas y los japoneses, los religiosos europeos produjeron multitud de escritos de diversa índole y temática sobre la cultura nipona, sus tradiciones y gentes. El presente artículo analiza las menciones a la historia antigua japonesa que se pueden encontrar en los documentos producidos por esta orden religiosa, al constituir estos las primeras informaciones sobre el pasado nipón que se difundieron por Europa. Además, los jesuitas estudiaron con gran detalle y precisión los principales acontecimientos que configuraron el Japón anterior a su llegada, por lo que su revisión resulta de gran valor para todo aquel interesado en la historia japonesa.

Published: January 2022

O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi analisar os níveis de iluminamento de salas de aula de uma instituição de ensino superior. Realizou-se um estudo de caso utilizando-se luxímetro digital para coleta de dados e comparou-se os resultados com os parâmetros da Norma da Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas - ABNT NBR ISO/CIE 8995-1:2013. Em cada ambiente realizou-se leituras em 7 pontos nos 3 turnos e para a análise dos dados foram considerados aspectos como a área das salas, o turno de coleta e a alocação da edificação. Os resultados apontam que algumas áreas das salas de aula, dependendo do turno e da incidência da iluminação natural, não atendem os requisitos mínimos exigidos pela norma, podendo gerar prejuízos no desempenho das atividades acadêmicas. Portanto, é necessário que ocorra manutenção periódica nos sistemas de iluminação das salas de aula para que essas se adequem às recomendações da norma atendendo assim os requisitos ergonômicos.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os determinantes de estrutura de capital das empresas de capital aberto do setor elétrico brasileiro, listadas na Bolsa de Valores de São Paulo, em relação ao endividamento de curto prazo, longo prazo e geral. Foi coletada uma amostra composta por dados contábeis anuais de 80 empresas privadas e estatais, atuantes no setor elétrico brasileiro entre 2009 e 2019, empregando-se o método de regressões lineares múltiplas, com dados em painel, usando efeitos fixos e efeitos aleatórios. Os resultados apontaram que os determinantes de estrutura de capital lucratividade, oportunidade de crescimento e liquidez tiveram comportamento melhor alinhados à POT, ao passo que o risco se apresentou melhor explicado pela TOT e pela POT.
Culture wars
Authors: Hołówka Jacek
Published: January 2022

The author identifies three stages in the transformation of the dominant ethos in colleges and universities over the past century. These stages were separated by rifts that looked like mild but pernicious culture wars. The first stage which impresses the author most is commonly called Modernism. The second stage is identified as Post-Modernism. The third that presumably takes form before our eyes can be called Neo-Conservatism. Modernism
is described as an intellectual position skillfully characterized by Harland G. Bloland. Postmodernism is shown as an intellectual position adopted by Jacques Derrida, Michel Foulcault i Jean-François Lyotard. Copious references to Bloland are also made in this case. The positon of Neoconservatives
is exemplified by the writings of Michel Houllebecq, Douglas Murray and Frank Furedi.
Ethnic identity of representatives of the Ukrainian minority university students in Poland
Authors: Zegar Krzysztof , Łoskot Maria , Pierzyńska Julia , Siemiątkowska Małgorzata
Published: January 2022

Introduction: Referring to the knowledge about the number of Ukrainian students in Poland, James Marcia’s theory of identity development and Henri Tajfel’s theory of social identity, the authors examined how the Ukrainian minority studying in Poland describes its ethnic identity.
Method: For this purpose, nine semistructural interviews were conducted, which were then subjected to a semantic narrative analysis.
Results: It turned out that the respondents identify most strongly with the group of international students and students, and with their national identity in the second place. Polish nationality was cited as a group of belonging, spending time, while the Ukrainian nationality
was individual, related to origin. Polish groups were positively evaluated by the respondents. The analysis also distinguished categories of differences between Poland and Ukraine, indicated by the respondents. They were: culture and religion, customs and tradition, decision-making and self-confidence, social issues, as well as mentality and science. The categories of stereotypes that were mentioned in the interviews were also identified: cheating and stealing, complaining and the similarity of nations.
Conclusions: The results showed that the identity of Ukrainians is in a state of moratorium. The respondents define Ukraine as “their” country, while the strongest ones describe themselves as international students.
The work values and professional expectations of the second cohort of Generation Z
Authors: Zwardoń-Kuchciak Olga Martyna
Published: January 2022

Introduction: The people born since the year 2000 (Generation Z) are now dynamically entering the labour market. This presents a range of challenges for employers, such as how to make their workplace attractive to young employees, how to entice talent and above all, how
to retain it for longer. The aim of the following work was to identify the primary work values and professional expectations of representatives from Generation Z.
Method: The study included 236 final-year students (129 girls and 107 boys) from vocational and comprehensive schools. The most highly-rated work values were identified using the “Moja Kariera” (My Career) questionnaire by Schein (adapted by Paszkowska-Rogacz) together with a free interview, providing a deeper insight into the work values and professional expectations of the group.
Results: The predominant values expressed by the study group were associated with security and stability, as well as lifestyle; however, the main expectations regarding the employer comprised a high salary, clear working conditions and clearly-defined professional responsibilities.
Conclusion: Our findings indicate that the members of Generation Z regard an attractive employer as one whose organisation cares about work-life balance, ensures secure employment, based on a contract of employment (e.g. on a permanent basis) and stable (constant) earnings.

Published: January 2022

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the postoperative short-term effectiveness of preoperative pain neurophysiology education on pain severity, kinesiophobia, and disability in patients undergoing lumbar surgery for radiculopathy.

Patients and methods: Between April 2019 and August 2019, a total of 41 patients (22 males, 19 females; mean age 52.1±9.5 years; range, 37 to 64 years) scheduled for lumbar radiculopathy surgery were randomized to receive either preoperative routine education only (control group, n=20) or a 70-min pain neurophysiology education in addition to preoperative routine education (intervention group, n=21). The patients were evaluated for the following outcomes prior to surgery (baseline) and at 12 weeks after surgery: low back pain and leg pain using Numeric Pain Rating Scale, disability using Oswestry Disability Index), and kinesiophobia using Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia.

Results: There were no statistically significant differences in low back pain (p=0.121), leg pain (p=0.142), and the length of stay hospital (p=0.110) between the groups. However, the interaction effects of intervention group were superior to control group regarding disability (p=0.042) and kinesiophobia (p<0.001).

Conclusion: The addition of pain neurophysiology education to routine education following lumbar radiculopathy surgery yields significant improvements for disability and kinesiophobia, although no additional benefits is seen regarding the pain severity and length of stay in hospital in the short-term.

Published: January 2022

Objectives: This study aims to compare the fracture risk calculated with Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX®) in patients with natural and surgical menopause.

Patients and methods: Between April 2019 and July 2019, 285 postmenopausal patients (mean age 57.3 years; range, 40 to 78 years) who were admitted to the menopause clinic were enrolled in this prospective cross-sectional study. Of these, 220 were in natural menopause and 65 were in surgical menopause. Demographic data, medical history, and International Physical Activity Questionnaire scores were collected through face-to-face interviews with the patients. Femoral neck and lumbar vertebrae (L1-L4) T-scores were evaluated using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Fragility fracture risk was assessed using FRAX®.

Results: The groups were similar in terms of age, body mass index, duration of menopause, smoking, alcohol use, and history of fracture (p>0.05). The risk of major osteoporotic fracture and hip fracture calculated without adding bone mineral density (BMD) was similar between groups (p=0.417 and p=0.234). The risk of hip fracture calculated with the addition of BMD was higher in natural menopause patients (p=0.023). Lumbar vertebrae T-scores were similar between two groups regardless of age; femoral neck T-scores were higher in surgical menopause (T-score=-0.8) than natural menopause group (T-score=-1.25) aged under 60 years, whereas this difference disappeared after 60 years of age.

Conclusion: In our study, the fracture risk and the severity of osteoporosis were not different in surgical menopausal patients compared to the natural menopausal patients. Hip fracture risk calculated using BMD was lower in patients under 50 years of age in surgical menopausal patients. However, the fracture risks were similar in both groups after 50 years of age.
