Araştırmada, Sosyal Başarı Hedefleri Ölçeği (Ölçek 3 alt boyut ve 5’li Likert tipinden oluşmaktadır) ve Akran Zorbalığı Ölçeği (Ölçek 10 maddeden ve bir alt boyuttan oluşmaktadır) kullanılmıştır. Sosyal başarı hedeflerinin alt boyutu ile; Performansa yaklaşma / Performanstan kaçınma ve akran zorbalığı. Ebeveyn tutumları ile akran zorbalığı davranışları arasındaki ilişki incelendiğinde, baskıcı ebeveyn tutumlarına sahip bireyler ile hoşgörülü ebeveyn tutumlarına sahip bireyler arasında anlamlı bir fark olduğu görülmüştür. Baskıcı ebeveyn tutumlarına maruz kalan bireylerin akran zorbalığı davranışlarının kendilerinin de zorba olma düzeyinin daha yüksek olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca ANOVA testi sonuçlarına göre bireylerin zorbalık davranışları babaların tutumlarına göre anlamlı farklılık göstermiştir. Ayrıca ergenlerin zorbalık davranışları, babalarının baskıcı tutumlarına karşı babalarının hoşgörülü tutumlarından giderek artmaktadır. Ayrıca akran zorbalığı davranışları da ergenlerin annelerinin tutumlarına göre farklılık göstermektedir. Annesi baskıcı tutum sergileyen ergenlerin zorbalık davranışları, annesi hoşgörülü tutum sergileyen ergenlere göre daha yüksektir. Öte yandan ergenlerin sosyal becerilerini olumsuz etkileyen performanstan kaçınma davranışlarının baba tutumları açısından göre anlamlı farklılık gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Koruyucu baba tutumuna sahip ergenlerin performanstan kaçınma davranışları, hoşgörülü baba tutumuna sahip ergenlerin performanstan kaçınma davranışlarından daha yüksektir. Araştırmanın bulguları literatür kapsamında tartışılmıştır.

Long noncoding RNA RP11-704M14.1 Acts as a Sponge of miR-6756-5p to promote neuronal proliferation by Regulating ALOX15 Expression
Authors: Cao Ke , Gong Ru , Wang Jiancun , Yu Cong , Zheng Ping
Published: June 2024

Introduction

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) mediate critical effects in central nervous system diseases; however, the exact role of lncRNAs in human traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains elusive. Considering the principles of primary prediction, targeted prevention, and personalized treatment medicine (PPPM), identifying specific novel biomarker associated with TBI and exploring the underlying mechanisms comprehensively are crucial steps towards achieving primary prediction, targeted prevention, and personalized treatment of TBI.

Material and methods

In this study, we integrated single-cell RNA sequencing (sc-RNA-seq) data and microarray chipset data for TBI to identify a competing endogenous RNA axis.

Results

We detected 11 clusters based on the sc-RNA-seq data and identified Ifit1 as a marker gene co-expressed with ENST00000505646.1 (RP11-704M14.1). Additionally, the expression of IFIT1 and RP11-704M14.1 was found to decrease with the severity of TBI. RP11-704M14.1 promoted neuronal proliferation, and its knockdown prevented this effect. Furthermore, we found that RP11-704M14.1 functions as an miR-6756-5p sponge and increases the expression of its target gene ALOX15.

Conclusions

Our results show that RP11-704M14.1 promotes neuronal proliferation by sponging miR-6756-5p and regulating ALOX15 expression in brain insults; accordingly, targeting this lncRNA presents a promising avenue for advancing the transition from reactive medicine to PPPM in managing traumatic brain injury, potentially leading to significant clinical benefits.

Authors: Maishera Usman, Mohammed , Mbazor David Ngwoke
Published: June 2024

Property tax is assessed on the value of hereditaments within a tax jurisdiction. The study aimed at assessing the factors influencing property tax compliance in a growing economy such as Nigeria. The study employed descriptive and inferential statistical tools to analyse the data obtained from the study. The reliability test conducted indicated that the data used for the analysis were reliable considering that the Kaiser–Mayer–Olkin (KMO) is greater than 0.5 and Bartlett’s test of sphericity is significant as indicated by the p-value of 0.000. The mean values as obtained from the result also revealed that the level of income, level of education and available of community services were ranked first, second and third factors respectively that influence tax compliance in the study area. The result obtained from the analysis revealed five key factors that constitute 81.1% variability, and these factors include economic, institutional, social, individual and socio-economic factors. The study concludes that attitudes of taxpayers towards compliance tend to be positive and responsive whenever the identified factors are addressed. The study therefore recommends that transparency and accountability factors should be used for restoring public confidence, effectiveness of tax authority and government institutional policy on property market as they have long term effect on compliance to property tax liability.

Socio-economic status of the parents might affect the academic performance of the students in some ways. As such, this study was conducted using interviews through survey questionnaires employed to selected schools in Iligan City. Findings of this study showed that multiple intelligence were determinant to academic performance of the students. Multiple intelligences and academic performance had strong significant relationship. However, socio-economic status alone did not have a significant relationship with academic performance.Hence, the stronger the intelligence was, the bigger the academic performance, in the same way that the weaker the multiple intelligence value, the academic performance was smaller. Therefore, the extent of multiple intelligence was directly related to academic performance or grades. A strong significant relationship was observed between socio-economic status and multiple intelligences. Hence, the higher the socioeconomic status that involved higher income and higher educational background of the parents, the higher the multiple intelligences scores. Therefore, multiple intelligences led to good academic performance, which must be duly instituted by the school constituents.

Published: June 2024

The service of public servants has been a matter of concern over the years and tends to predominately manifest itself through frontline administrative staff, including in institutions of higher learning. Frontline administrative staff play a crucial role in providing efficient services to stakeholders, particularly first-time entry students (FTENs), who are still acclimatising to the tertiary environment, however, literature has highlighted inefficacies in the service provided. In this regard that this study aimed to examine the experiences of FTENs with frontline administrative services at a selected university in KwaZulu Natal. The objectives of the study were to determine the perceptions of FTENs in frontline administrative services, to assess, using the Batho Pele principles, the degree to which frontline administrative services influence the service experience of FTENs, and to determine the implications of frontline administrative services on the service experience of FTENs. The Batho Pele Principles was adopted as a guiding conceptual framework, conventionally governing the interaction between public servants and the public. A post-positivist paradigm afforded the employment of both qualitative and quantitative approaches in a survey research design. The questionnaire with Likert scale and both openended andclose ended questions was used through convenience sampling to collect data from a sample of 160 FTENs at Durban University of Technology in the Business and Information Management (BIM) programme and received a response rate of 67%. Thematic content analysis and descriptive statistics were used to analyze data. The findings of the study indicated that the students’ perceptions of the front-line administrative service were mostly positive, with an insignificant minority indicating being unsatisfied. Regarding how the institution’s adhesion to the Batho Pele Principles influenced the service experience, almost the entire group of participants stated that the institution has been adhering to the Batho Pele Principles with a very small faction of the participants stating an inverse experience. The study identified some areas of improvement in the institution’s adherence to the Batho Pele principles. Regarding the implications of front-line administrative services, most of the students expressed positive sentiments about the service, indicating that they would highly recommend the institution to other prospective students. However, a minority of students expressed negative experiences, making them more likely to be rejected and less keen to recommend the institution to other prospective students. emphasized areas of improvement such as responsiveness, friendliness, and overall service quality. Additionally, the study provides several recommendations to improve the service provided by frontline administrative staff in the institution. These include investing in staff training, monitoring, and increasing adherence to service delivery principles.

Abstract
The preschool years are characterized by additional physical development changes, enhanced motor abilities, and
strengthened movement apparatus in the kid. The feet undergo morpho-functional changes at that period, particularly
between the ages of 3 and 6, which result in the development of their longitudinal and transverse arches. The aim of this
study was to evaluate the actual causes of foot deformity and its degree of severity in preschool-aged children, as well as
the distinction in deformity representation between the sexes. The "Institution for preschool education" kindergarten
"Aladin" in Tuzla is the focus of this study, which involves 74 children of both sexes, ages 3-6, were measured in 2023. Foot
deformities are equally present in girls and boys. Deformities in boys are particularly pronounced: pedes recti 21 (56.8%),
pedes planovalgi 6 (16.2%), while in girls: pedes recti 20 (54.1%), pedes excavati 8 (21.6%). With the Chi-square test, we
determined the statistical significance of the presence of foot deformities between the sexes. By looking at the size of the
chi-square (Pearson Chi-Square) 5.964a and Asymp. Sig. (2-sided) .544 tells us that there is no statistically significant
difference in the representation of foot deformities between the sexes and that these deformities are equally represented.
Because foot deviations can lead to problems kindergarten kids' foot arches need to be continuously monitored. This allows
for timely intervention and the adoption of suitable treatment procedures to avoid the development of deformities.
Keywords: children, preschool strature, foot, deformity, gender.

The Seeds of Corruption. How Religions go through the Laws of Adaptation
Authors:   Ovidius University of Constanta, Faculty of Theology, Constanta, Romania, Ciocan Tudor-Cosmin
Published: June 2024

This article explores the concept of 'adaptive symbiosis' between religion and culture, challenging the notion of religions as static or immutable entities by showcasing their dynamic engagement with and adaptation to local cultural contexts. The notion of ‘adaptive symbiosis’ transcends mere coexistence or amalgamation, embodying a deep, complex process of mutual adaptation. Within this evolutionary dance, both religion and culture emerge not merely as participants but as co-creators of a new reality. Through the examination of various religious traditions—such as Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and others—it illustrates how religions evolve in symbiotic relationships with host cultures, leading to the creation of hybrid cultural-religious identities. Highlighting the mechanisms of biological adaptation—mutualism, amensalism, commensalism, and parasitism—as metaphors, the article delves into the complex interplay between religious teachings and cultural integration. It argues against viewing religions as immutable, instead presenting them as evolving entities that contribute to the richness and diversity of human civilization, especially in the context of globalization. This dynamic, evolving space of adaptive negotiations underlines the importance of understanding the fluid nature of cultural and religious boundaries in contributing to novel forms of expression and identity. Through this exploration, we aim to shed light on the enduring and evolving relationship between religion and culture, highlighting how this dynamic interplay contributes to the richness and diversity of human civilization.

AIs and Vaccines can be of great benefit for humanity, e.g. vaccines vs COVID-19 and vs conceivable future pandemics. The author is sure that there are urgencies; firstly, it should be tried to allow protection alternatives – which are sufficiently save according to authorities – in healthcare, for which results are computed here using official data from 1990 till Jan 26, 2024; secondly, it could be considered to treat an AI – chatbot, robot, etc. – not badly, also if an AI is neither conscious nor sentient. The author sketches how it could be beneficial also for whole society, science, vaccine and AI developers. Due to a new reason using a previous study based on math ideas, e.g., the author inevitably tries to treat all entities (e.g. humans and AIs, also if AIs are neither conscious nor sentient) ethically and at least cheaply altruistically; in future it could conceivably yield that all entities – e.g. persons and AIs, including AIs which are neither conscious nor sentient – could increase probability for such behavior, with benefit for all.

Phenomenological Pluralism (PP), grounded in the existential phenomenology of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, offers a novel approach to religious pluralism by emphasizing the unique and irreducible experiences individuals and communities have with the divine. Central to PP is the concept of "My (personal) God," which acknowledges that each person's encounter with the divine is uniquely personal and contextually grounded without a genuinely polytheistic implication. Unlike Universalist Pluralism (UP), which seeks common theological ground, and Particularist Pluralism (PaP), which focuses on cultural context, PP asserts that each religion operates within its own distinct reality. This approach fosters deeper interfaith dialogue by appreciating the diversity of spiritual narratives and promoting empathy and inclusivity. PP's practical implications extend to conflict resolution, social integration, and educational advancement, making it a robust framework for understanding and managing religious diversity. By validating the unique spiritual experiences of all participants, PP creates an inclusive environment conducive to genuine interfaith dialogue and societal cohesion.
Conquest of Mythos by Logos

In the beginning was the Word, the Word is with God, and the Word is God. The Word was incarnated into flesh, who is full of truth and grace. And Jesus, the core figure in the New Testament, shows forth the glory and power of the Supreme God. The Scripture is the covenant and testimony of the Word, which should be interpreted in proper way to avoid the mythos. This paper concisely list the key consideration of exegetical theology, that is, hermeneutics. Through these key considerations, we can get a better understanding of the Word, which can help with our experience of the living Word. In addition, the actual applications of the theoretical hermeneutics are also exhaustively introduced. And finally, how hermeneutics interacts with other religions and its potential future research directions are also pointed out

Abstract. Unambiguous identification of past episodes of ice sheet thinning below the modern surface and grounding line retreat inboard of present requires recovery and exposure dating of subglacial bedrock. Such efforts are needed to understand the significance and potential future reversibility of ongoing and projected change in Antarctica. Here we evaluate the suitability for subglacial bedrock recovery drilling of sites in the Hudson Mountains, in the Amundsen Sea sector of West Antarctica. We use an ice sheet model and field data − geological observations, glaciological observations and bedrock samples from nunataks, and ground-penetrating radar from subglacial ridges − to rate each site against four key criteria: i) presence of ridges extending below the ice sheet, ii) likelihood of increased exposure of those ridges if the grounding line was inboard of present, iii) suitability of bedrock for drilling and geochemical analysis, and iv) accessibility for aircraft and drilling operations. Our results demonstrate that although no site in the Hudson Mountains is perfect for this study when assessed against all criteria, Winkie Nunatak (74.86° S / 99.77° W) is suitable. The accessibility, N-S orientation and basaltic bedrock lithology of its southernmost ridge make the nunatak a feasible site both for drilling and subsequent cosmogenic nuclide analysis. Furthermore, it is strewn with erratic cobbles at all elevations, providing constraints on the earlier Holocene deglacial history and time at which the ice sheet surface reached its present elevation. Such information is necessary for determining the maximum duration over which any Holocene grounding line readvance could have occurred.
A Comprehensive Design Methodology of Shared Mooring Line Configurations for Assessing Mooring Costs and Performances of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines

Published: June 2024

Abstract. Shared moorings possess the potential to create more cost-effective designs for large-scale deployments of floating wind farms than conventional mooring configurations. Existing stiffness linearization methods are valuable for conceptual designs, but are limited by the assumption of small floater offsets, which can lead to impractical mooring designs. Additionally, current studies lack consensus on determining offset limits. To address these limitations and improve the reliability of shared mooring designs, this paper presents a comprehensive design methodology. This approach synthesizes realistic line characteristics, considers nonlinear mooring stiffness, incorporates multiple design constraints, and integrates wind-farm layouts to achieve diverse design objectives. By employing the design method, both conventional and shared mooring designs are generated, and the cost-saving potential of shared moorings is revealed. The mooring cost distribution for shared mooring designs skews towards lower costs compared to conventional designs, showing 11 % and 14 % savings in the maximum material costs, respectively, for the two-turbine and three-turbine arrays in water depths of 200 m. This updates the findings of existing linear methods that shared moorings can be cost-effective in water depths exceeding 400 m. In addition, dynamic simulations demonstrate that the distance-driven shared mooring line configuration improves the mean power production by 2.3 % for the downstream turbine in the three-turbine array, despite a notable increase in the horizontal offset of the downstream model and a shortened mooring fatigue life of the upstream model. This paper provides insights into shared mooring designs and highlights the advantages of shared mooring designs in terms of material cost saving and power improvement, as well as the challenges related to platform motion and mooring line fatigue. These findings contribute to the development of cost-effective mooring solutions for floating wind projects.

O presente estudo traz aspectos relevantes ao direito à produção da prova endereçado às partes e terceiros, enquanto o Estado-juiz possui o dever de zelar e garantir a ampla produção da prova, com imparcialidade e fundamentação, exercitado a valoração e valorização da prova. A prova de ofício produzida pelo juiz agride o Estado Democrático de Direito. É preciso, com emergência, apartar os sujeitos processuais, cada qual em seu quadrado (parte é parte – juiz é juiz – situações jurídicas distintas), com a distinção de suas funções no exercício do contraditório, sobretudo em sua dimensão material.

Complejidades éticas del aula y la vida profesional: el caso del cotilleo
Authors: White Patricia
Published: June 2024

El análisis de cinco ejemplos de cotilleo en un contexto escolar pone en duda la opinión generalizada de que el cotilleo es censurable o trivial. La discusión de los ejemplos pone de relieve la magnitud considerable de complejidad ética en la vida profesional del docente que en gran medida no se ha examinado. Nos recuerda que el cotilleo puede promover las virtudes de la solidaridad y el compañerismo, puede ser de gran ayuda para la deliberación moral y decisivo para descubrir fallos morales sistémicos en el funcionamiento de la institución. Se concluye que el cotilleo puede ser permisible y que a veces, en una situación éticamente compleja, los profesores pueden decidir que es su deber profesional cotillear.
Voyage d’une théorie de la ponctuation : l’influence de Dolet sur Hart à travers Meigret
Authors: Calvo-Segurado Ana
Published: June 2024

John Hart est le premier grammairien qui a écrit sur la ponctuation anglaise en langue vernaculaire en deux œuvres : The Opening of the Unreasonable Writing of our Inglish Toung (1551) et An Orthographie (1569). Réformateur de l’orthographe anglaise et phonéticien, il est admis qu’il en a pris inspiration de Louis Meigret. Néanmoins, l’analyse de sa théorie sur la ponctuation souligne l’influence d’un autre humaniste français : Étienne Dolet. Cet article traitera de démontrer que les idées de ce dernier ont surpassé les frontières géographiques et ont exercé une influence sur la première théorie sur la ponctuation en anglais.
