Authors: Masamae Matureedee , McNeil Rhysa , Eso Mayuening
Published: July 2024

Background and Aims: Self-care is crucial for the elderly since it allows everyone to have a healthy life, boost immunity, prevent sickness, care for themselves when unwell, and continue to perform everyday duties in their own homes. This study aimed to investigate the factors influencing the elderly's opinions on self-care in the southernmost provinces of Thailand.
Methodology: This quantitative study used data collected by the Deep South Coordination Center from 271 elderly people in Pattani. The independent variable included demographic factors and health conditions. The outcome variable was a 4-point rating scale opinion on the self-care of the elderly. Descriptive statistics were employed to illustrate the sample's characteristics. Factor analysis was used to reduce the number of outcome variables. Multiple linear regression was used to examine the relationship between the outcome variables and the independent variables.
Results: Eighteen outcome variables were categorized into three factors consisting of positive self-management, health preparation, and doing things for great pleasure. Elderly people who could walk with their spouse or family were more likely to have positive self-management and health preparation than those who lived alone or were separated and could not walk. Elderly people who did not engage in health-risk activities and could use public transportation independently were more likely to enjoy themselves than those who could not.
Conclusion: The findings might improve the quality of self-care among the elderly to live better in their current societal situation. This can encourage care healthcare providers to promote daily living practices among the elderly.

Published: July 2024

The mango (Mangifera indica L.) is considered the ‘King of fruits’ and found to be economically important due to its excellent fruit quality, despite having good fruit quality characteristics, it is associated with production constraints such as low initial fruit set, heavy fruit drops, undersized fruit and improper fruit color development. On the other hand, bio-stimulants play an important role in improving the productivity and quality of fruits. In the present study, four biostimulants viz., jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, brassinosteroids and triacontanol, were sprayed at intervals of 70 and 90 days after anthesis at two different concentrations with four replications. Among the treatments, triacontanol @ 10 ppm (T9) showed a significant difference in yield parameters and recorded maximum average fruit weight (571.98 g), fruit length (17.53 cm), fruit diameter (92.38 cm), fruit volume (723.75 cc), pulp weight (435.91 g), pulp percentage (76.24), number of fruits (75.25), yield per tree (41.31 kg) in comparison to control. However, salicylic acid @ 150 ppm (T5) showed the highest colorimeter coordinates L*, a*, b*, C* and hº for both pulp and peel color. The study concludes the use of phytohormones enhances the fruit development and quality parameters of mango cv Mallika under the central dry zone of Karnataka.
Underpinning Plant Intelligence-A New Arena in Plant Cognition
Authors: Das Mousumi
Published: July 2024

Like other organisms plants also face crucial challenges for survival and better fitness in a wide range of ecological niches. Complex behaviors like learning, memory, information acquisition, communication, resolving problems and decision making abilities for their own benefits in an ever changing environment are also common in plants like humans and other animals. Plants sense and respond to biotic and abiotic factors of the environment to assess resources. Plants are good timekeepers as well. Without having proper brain and nervous system plants are able to interact with themselves and other organisms via chemical talking. In some plant species emissions of certain volatile chemicals during herbivore attacks are indications of social interactions. These are evidences regarding the occurrence of kin recognitions and responses in plant growth and development in complex environmental conditions. Certain species of plants show the act of mimicry. By adopting different dispersal mechanisms plant reduces parent-offspring and offspring-offspring competition. Seed-dispersal mutualism is a complex physiological interaction between plants and animals. For the last few years the relevance of plant cognition and behavioral ecology has received much attention. Collecting various sensory inputs from the surrounding environment (perception), transducing the signals within the body (cognition) and adapting various strategies plant ensures an output for better survival and reproductive fitness. All these mechanisms explore the domain of plant intelligence.

Authors: Abubakar Musa Hafsat , Ibrahim Yusuf
Published: July 2024

Bioelectricity generation is another environmentally friendly mean of waste management, commonly carried out using microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology. The present work aims to generate bioelectricity from the fruit wastes using microbial fuel cells (MFC) technology and to isolate and identify bacteria during bioelectricity production. Fruit samples from different fruit wastes of banana, lemon, orange, water melon and pawpaw were collected from Na’ibawa-Yanlemo fruit market’s dump site in Kano metropolis, Kano State Nigeria. Physicochemical parameters such as biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total carbon (TC), total nitrogen (TN), organic matter (OM), Temperature and pH of slurries of individual and mixed fruit wastes were determined. Biochemical tests such as voges-proskauer test, oxidase test, catalase test, citrate test and sugar fermentation (TSI) test was also carried out using standard procedures. Generation of bioelectricity was monitored and recorded within a constructed seven dual chambered microbial fuel cells (MFCs) with wasted fruit as readily available materials. Current, current density, power and power density produced from different waste samples for twenty days was also recorded as bioelectricity generated from microbial fuel cells. Bacterial counts at the beginning and end of bioelectricity generation was also recorded from different fruits waste samples for microbial fuel cells (MFCs). The result of pH mean value of slurries of individual fruits is recorded to be all acidic with lemon having the highest acidity recorded as 3.45±0.62. The pH mean value of the mixed fruit was recorded as7.1±0.23. Waste pawpaw fruit had 6±0.62 % the percentage of organic matter among all the individual waste fruits while the mixed fruit combined had 10±0.62 % mean value of percentage organic matter (OM). Two (2) bacterial genera were biochemically identified as Klebsiella pneumoniae and Esherichia coli. The highest generation of voltage (mV) from microbial fuel cells was achieved from gutter, mixed fruit and orange as 650, 400 and 390 mV respectively. The peak highest current produced was achieved from orange waste samples as 0.7mA/m2 at day fourteen. Waste lemon had the highest colony count among all the fruits at the beginning and end of the bioelectricity generation of 2.2×103 and 4.12×102 respectively. Mixed fruits had the colony count of 2.10×105 and 7.20×103 at the beginning and end respectively.
Export Diversification Drive: The Role of Nigerian Manufacturing Sector
Authors: Olawale M Abiola ,   Research and Economic policy Division, Manufacturers Association of Nigeria, Lagos, Nigeria
Published: July 2024

This research delves into the enigmatic relationship between Nigeria’s manufacturing sector and the nation’s drive for export diversification. Leveraging a regression analysis and time series data from 1985 to 2022, it paints a nuanced picture of their complex interplay. The analysis confirms the stationarity of all variables at first differenced. Additionally, the Johansen co-integration test reveals a long-run equilibrium relationship between them, suggesting that while their short-term fluctuations may diverge, they are ultimately bound by a deeper interdependence. The analysis exposes a weak and negative association between the two, hinting at the meagre contribution of the manufacturing sector to export diversification during the studied period. This underscores the need for a critical reevaluation and targeted interventions to unlock the sector’s potential as a powerful engine of export growth. Therefore, the study advocates for a paradigm shift in approach. Instead of government’s piecemeal efforts, it should champion the creation of a robust and vibrant manufacturing ecosystem, pulsating with innovation and productivity. This vision will envision modern factories humming with cutting-edge processes, meticulously crafting highquality goods capable of holding their own on the global stage. From value-added agricultural products to sophisticated machinery, the potential portfolio of Nigerian exports is vast and brimming with promise.

Published: July 2024

This study aims to determine the impact of the integration of the flipped classroom learning model and project-based learning on student involvement and learning outcomes in multimedia learning. This research is important to fill the gap in empirical data regarding the effectiveness of these learning strategies. The method used is a quasi-experiment design, comparing the experimental group that applies the flipped classroom model and project-based learning with the control group that uses conventional methods and project-based learning. Data collection was carried out through pretest and posttest, as well as student engagement surveys, with one-way ANOVA analysis. The results showed that the experimental class had an average student involvement score of 85.36, an efficacy score of 83.70, and a self-regulated learning score of 79.90. Meanwhile, the control class had an average student engagement of 80.42, an efficacy score of 82.71, and a self-regulated learning score of 77.24. The posttest t-test showed a significance value of 0.035, which was smaller than 0.05 (sig. 0.035 < 0.05), so the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (H1) was accepted. This means that there is a significant difference in multimedia learning outcomes between students who use the flipped classroom approach and project-based learning compared to those who follow the conventional model. These results prove that the flipped classroom and project-based learning methods are more effective in improving learning outcomes and student involvement in multimedia learning. These findings provide valuable insights for future learning development.
Gender Parity in Indian Mythology: A Feminist Reading of the Texts on Shiva
Authors: . Lisha , Singh Pradeep
Published: July 2024

Several measures are often taken to minimise the molestations and crimes faced by women. Female feminists are actively seen taking cudgels opposing the unjust behaviour being conducted against women. However, the accounts of males promoting the notion of feminism are still lacking or hardly find any pertinent in contemporary society. Some characters from Indian mythology too are portrayed as strong believers of gender uniformity. Feminist studies have already been conducted on female characters, for example, Ahalya, Sita, Draupadi, etc. This paper focuses on the character of Shiva, who being in the somatic body of patriarchy stood up for the rights of women and affirmed the idea of gender parity. He sets an example for contemporary men, encouraging gender equality. By the dint of his various life incidents, the way he treats his consort and values the individuality of women around him, this paper analyses Shiva through the lens of feminism.

The male NMRI mice, approximately 80 days old and weighing 20 to 23 grams, were kept under a 12-hour light/12-hour dark cycle at a temperature of 23±1°C, with adequate food and water provided. From 90 days old to 118 days old, the animals underwent swimming exercise for 4 weeks. They were divided into two groups: long-term training volume and short-term training volume. The short-term swimming group included one session of short-term training, while the long-term group included three sessions of long-term training with 10-minute swimming periods and 15-minute rest intervals between each session. The water depth and swimming duration gradually increased from 5 to 15 centimeters (second to fourth week) and from 20 (second to third week) to 30 (fourth week) minutes per day. The non-exercised animals were placed in a round tank without water for a duration similar to that of the exercised animals. Results: The results showed a significant difference in immobility duration between the control group and the two training groups, as well as between the two training groups (P ≤ 0.05). There was also a significant difference in depression levels between the two training groups and between the long-term training group and the control group (P ≤ 0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the short-term training group and the control group (P ≥ 0.05). Post hoc test results indicated a significant difference in BDNF levels between the control group and the long-term training group (P ≤ 0.05). Furthermore, there was a significant difference in testosterone levels between the control group and both the short-term and long-term training groups (P ≤ 0.05), but no difference between the two training groups (P ≥ 0.05). Conclusion: Based on the overall results of the study, different training volumes have varying effects on depression and BDNF levels, with long-term training producing greater effects.
Stalin’s Empire in the Fight Against the Ukrainian Insurgent Movement at the Final Stage of the Second World War 1944–1945): The Role of the Red Army
Authors: Hrynevych Vladyslav
Published: July 2024

This article, based on a wide array of archival documents, presents the anal­ysis of military confrontation between the Stalinist Empire and the Ukrainian insurgent movement in Western Ukraine. Special attention is paid to the role of the Red Army, which, in addition to joint military punitive operations together with the NKVD itself resorted to organising anti-insurgency military measures and took an active part in such activi­ties aimed at destroying the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (Ukraiinska povstanska armia – hereafter UPA) and the underground Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (hereafter – OUN) using such measures as deportation and resettlement of the local population from the front-line zone, military mobilisations and repressions against the families of UPA members. The author concludes that the war of the Red Empire against the Ukrainian na­tional liberation movement embroiled significant masses of civilian population into its merciless millstones, which led to its barbarisation, so this war by its nature and devas­tating consequences can be considered in essence as the genocidal extermination of the Ukrainian people.

Authors: Bazhan Oleh
Published: July 2024

The article highlights the general trends and features of the formation of the opposition movement in Ukraine from the late 1950s through the 1980s, and examines the forms and methods of the protest movement as well as the specifics of the information and communication activities of Ukrainian dissidents. The study focuses on the mecha­nism of political repression, the use of criminal legislation in the Ukrainian SSR to punish dissent, and the approximate number of citizens of the republic who were repressed for “anti-Soviet propaganda and activities” from the 1950s through the 1980s.
Regional Identity of Ukrainian Society in Socio-Humanitarian Discourse
Authors: Vermenych Jaroslava
Published: July 2024

The purpose of the article is to review the development of regional studies, to understand the strategies of geopolitical dynamics in the Ukrainian space, civilizational and cultural features of regional development, complex interdependencies between na­tional and regional dimensions of the historical process. Attention is paid to the regional problems in Ukraine, related to the specificity of regional identities, different socio-cul­tural values and mental stereotypes. The application of methodological approaches of re­gionalism is seen as the most appropriate tool both for clarifying the conflict dimension in the formation of Ukrainian identity in the past, and for finding a constructive solution to the problem of “conflict of identities” in modern conditions. It has been proven that the scientific space of modern regional history is an acceptable field for the analysis of re­gional societies, the economic and demographic situation in the regions, individual and group, social and territorial identities, and local political and cultural preferences. It is emphasized that during the post-war recovery in Ukraine regional characteristics took on a role of system-forming norms and structural and functional determinants that effec­tively stimulate and strengthen the reconstruction processes in the regions and condition the formation of a nationwide safe spatial environment.

Authors: Latvytė Neringa
Published: July 2024

This article is based on the international research project ‘Identity on the Line’, conducted by the Faculty of Communication of Vilnius University together with partners from Nor­way, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Slovenia and Croatia memory institutions, from 2019 to 2023. The research undertaken by the Faculty of Communication deals with the traumatic experiences, wounded past and muted memories of women who survived the Holocaust and how these influenced the lives of their children and grandchildren, even when being kept silent. The article represents only part of the project and analysis of the traumatic experiences of the Jewish women who were fighting in the anti-Nazi partisan resistance by joining the combat units in the forests, as well as consequences and intergenerational transmission of a traumatic past.
The purpose of this article is to show the muted stories of traumatic experiences, and how psychological scars of the war and the Holocaust are reflected in the daily life of women and their family members. What happens when the surrounding environment becomes dangerous and life-threatening? How does that challenge a person’s identity and narra­tives? How do these traumatic experiences affect the lives of the second and third genera­tions in the family? This article tries to answer these complicated questions by interview­ing Jewish women partisans, referring to their diaries, memoirs and testimonies as well as by interviewing the daughters of the survivors.

The era of the digital, millennial, or Industrial Revolution 4.0 presents numerous challenges and intense competition, necessitating not only global competencies but also critical thinking skills. This is particularly important for Muslims (specifically NU members) to avoid alienation and marginalization. This paper aims to analyze the strengthening of the moderate ideology of NU, which boasts the largest following in Indonesia and significantly influences the nation's civilization. NU, as a moderate Islamic movement, adopts an inclusive approach through the wise use of social media and digital technology, its role in education, promotion of digital literacy, combating hoaxes, and participation in interfaith dialogue. Furthermore, NU promotes an understanding of moderate Islam, fosters peace, and fights extremism amidst the rapid advancement of information technology. Moderate Islam is perceived not merely as a religion but as a civilized way of life. The efforts of NU in the past, present, and future must remain dynamic, continuously adapting to the challenges of the times on a global scale, to build a more advanced Indonesia in the future.
