Authors: Erkinbekov Kylychbek , Bugazov Anvar , Karabalaeva Gulmira , Smutko Alexey , Aidaraliev Amantur
Published: September 2023

The purpose of the article was to examine the role of information technologies in the formation of symbolic politics through the prism of mass media, communications and new Internet technologies. The methodological basis of the study is formed by legislation and historical literature, using dialectical and comparative methods, as well as general methods of scientific analysis. Symbolic politics is one of the mechanisms of information interaction between society and the political elite; in a new form, it allows solving social and socio-political problems. It has been established that full communication between the political elite and the population is impossible without elements of symbolic politics, such as public relations agencies, Internet blogs and social networks, etc., whose purpose is not only to form a positive image of politics and leaders, but also, it serves to establish an agreement of understanding in society. The authors conclude that new mechanisms of interaction between the elite and society, such as e-receptions, destination portals and digital government, lead to greater government transparency and increased efficiency of its activities.

Published: September 2023

El presente artículo tuvo como objetivo analizar las condiciones culturales y socioeconómicas de las caletas pesqueras artesanales en Yacila (Piura) y Carquín (Lima), Perú. Se empleó una metodología de carácter cualitativo y de revisión sistemática, tipo básica y con un diseño descriptivo. Como técnicas de investigación se emplearon el diagrama de PRISMA, la matriz de registro de artículos y una tabla de distribución de artículos por base de datos. En sus resultados se evidenció que la pesca artesanal es una actividad practicada por tradición, reproduciéndose de generación en generación como un fin sociofamiliar que se recrea por cotidianidad o presión familiar. Se concluyó que en las caletas de Yacila y Carquín, la pesca artesanal es realizada por familias; en su mayoría por personas del sexo masculino, quienes, para cubrir las necesidades económicas, y debido a la falta de oportunidades laborales, deciden convertirla en su fuente de ingresos, ya que la mayoría de pecadores artesanales no poseen un apoyo gubernamental que les permita acceder a una estabilidad laboral, un salario digno, asistencia médica y condiciones óptimas.

Published: September 2023

The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of emodin and different protein levels on growth-promoting antioxidant capacity and protein utilization of blunt snout bream to in-pond raceway aquaculture systems (IPRS). The experiment was divided into three groups: low protein group (LP) (29% low protein level), high protein group (HP) (32% high protein level), and emodin group (ED) (29% protein level + 0.05% emodin). At 210 days in the late stage of culture, the weight of the ED and HP groups was higher than the LP groups (P < 0.05). Compared with the LP group, the number of hematological parameters (white blood cell, WBC; red blood cell, RBC; hemoglobin, HGB; and hematocrit, HCT), blood antioxidant enzymes (anti-superoxide anion free radical, ASAFA; glutathione peroxidase, GPx; superoxide dismutase, SOD; and nitric oxide, NO) activity in the ED group were significantly increased (P < 0.05), and the serum malondialdehyde (MDA) content were significantly reduced (P < 0.05). Besides, the content of serum triglyceride (TG) and blood antioxidant enzymes (ASAFA, GPx, and SOD) in the HP group were significantly increased compared with the LP group (P < 0.05), and the content of serum Creatinine (CREA) significantly lower than that of the control (P < 0.05). The results of this experiment indicate that emodin and appropriate protein levels can increase the content of antioxidant enzymes, enhance immunity, and promote the growth of M. amblycephala.

Authors: Tekoğul Hatice
Published: September 2023

The present study, conducted in 2018, aimed to treat landfill leachate using the Ceratophyllum demersum plant and convert the wastewater nutrients into protein-rich biomass. The experiment was carried out for 45 days in an enriched medium with ½ Hoagland nutrient solution. Regarding the experimental setups, C. demersum cultivation was performed in four different dilution ratios (100%, 75%, 50%, and 25%) in the landfill leachate. The changes in the chemical properties of the wastewater (pH, NO₄⁻-N, NO₂⁻-N, NO₃⁻-N, and o-PO₄³⁻) were measured. The values in the leachate and after treatment were measured as follows: NH₄⁺-N ranged from 18.03 to 476.2 mg/L, NO₃⁻-N ranged from 5.0 to 33.98 mg/L, NO₂⁻-N ranged from 1.49 to 7.06 mg/L, and PO₄³⁻-P ranged from 27.99 to 145.4 mg/L. The protein yield (CP prot) in the experimental groups at the end of the 45-day study was as follows: T1 = 20.90%, T2 = 36.68 %, T3 = 41.78%, T4 = 47.43% and T5c = 49.56%. These results demonstrate that aquatic plants can be utilized in wastewater treatment and as animal feed due to their high protein yield. In my research, a completely nature-friendly treatment technique was used to reduce water pollution without using any chemicals.

Authors:   Undergraduate student, Emmanuel College, Boston, MA, USA, Byrne Laura Elizabeth , Sharma Dr. Dipti ,   Supervisor Emmanuel College, Boston, MA, USA
Published: September 2023

In this research, details of the heating and cooling of the liquid crystal (LC) 4-cyano-4'-hexylbiphenyl (6CB) were collected through the use of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and then analyzed with Logger Pro. The sample of 6CB was heated from -40 °C to 80 °C and then cooled to -40 °C again at a constant rate of 20 °C/min. DSC provided data for the time, temperature, and heat flow, which was used to calculate thermal speed, acceleration, and jerk, as well as the specific heat capacity at each point. Graphs of this data contain endothermic and exothermic peaks that indicate phase transitions, revealing information such as the enthalpy of the peak and the nematic range. One focus of this study was to compare 6CB to other liquid crystals that are part of the n-alkyl-cyanobiphenyl (nCB) family to see if the difference in tail length affects the behavior of the liquid crystal. Results show that 6CB may be of interest as an alternative to other liquid crystals for liquid crystal displays (LCD).

Reinterpreting Imperial-Oriental and Liberal Issues in E.M. Forster's A Passage to India: A Marxist Perspective
Authors: Ali Fares Mohammed S , Ubale Anand
Published: September 2023

The current research article highlighted the imperial-oriental and liberal issues included in E.M.Forster’s A Passage to India that was considered as one of the colonial discourses. Forster criticizes properly the British imperialism according to the book incidents. To explore the above issues critically, the researcher focused on the concept of hegemony as one of the major arguments of the Marxist approach. This concept was first articulated by the prominent Marxist theorist Antonio Gramsci who divided it into two forms namely the coercive hegemony and the consent one. In this regard, it is seen that the imperial values were represented by the coercive hegemony, while the oriental discussions were represented the consent hegemony. Based on the book events, the British see themselves as superior while the native Indians are inferior and this classification comes under the consent hegemony according to Gramsci’s allegations. This research work aimed to reinterpret the imperial-oriental and liberal issues embodied in Forster’s book, A Passage to India in the light of the Marxist perspective.

Authors: Lacerda Arianny Cristina Chaves , Dantas-Longhi Simone Maria
Published: September 2023

Neste artigo, exploraremos o espaço da extensão universitária e seu papel na formação inicial de professores e na educação de alunos em meio escolar. Mais especificamente, o objetivo deste estudo é apresentar as contribuições de um curso de extensão de biodiversidade e preservação ambiental em francês língua estrangeira, em diferentes dimensões. Pretendemos refletir sobre os motivos que impulsionaram mudanças ao longo do experimento didático e, consequentemente, influenciaram as escolhas de uma professora em formação para o desenvolvimento do curso. Ao final do estudo, analisamos os indícios de aprendizagem de língua estrangeira e conscientização ambiental pelos alunos. Para fundamentar a pesquisa, recorremos às contribuições da pedagogia de projetos (PERRENOUD, 1999), da pedagogia da autonomia (FREIRE, [1996] 2020) e da perspectiva acional (PUREN, 2006). Baseadas nesse quadro teórico, criamos um curso direcionado a alunos do Ensino Médio, com duração de seis semanas e organizado por módulos, em que os estudantes foram incentivados a discutir sobre problemas ambientais e a realizar tarefas em francês. Como resultados, verificamos que o ensino transversal de educação ambiental apresentou diversos desafios, mas também contribuiu para o desenvolvimento de habilidades em língua francesa dos envolvidos no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, e impulsionou a reflexão deles sobre mudanças de relacionamento com o meio ambiente.

Authors: Moore Lori L. , Rudd Rick D.
Published: September 2023

This study sought to describe the demographics and leadership styles of current Extension leaders, the individuals responsible for the day-to-day operations of Extension in each state, and to explain the influence of demographic variables on leadership styles. Of the 47 participants, 70.2% were male. The majority (80.9%) reported their ethnicity as white. The mean age of the participants was 54.5 years. The mean tenure in Extension was 22 years and the mean tenure in Extension leadership positions was 11.9 years. Over three-quarters (76.6%) of participants held a doctor of philosophy degree. Sixty percent held their highest degree in a social science discipline. Participants had previous experience in 3.19 leadership courses and/or workshops. Participants reported engaging in behaviors related to transformational leadership more often than those related to transactional or laissez-faire leadership. The best model for explaining transformational leadership style explained 13% of the variance and included ethnicity, tenure in Extension, and previous leadership development total score. The best model for explaining transactional leadership style explained 28% of the variance and included highest degree held, tenure in Extension, and previous leadership development total score. No model significantly explained the influence of demographics on laissez-faire leadership.

Authors: Wilson Elizabeth B. , Camp William G. , Balschweid Mark A.
Published: September 2023

This study focused on the development of a pre-service agricultural education “Program Planning” course that could be utilized nationally for preparing high school agricultural science and business teachers. The researchers created a course that would meet the needs of agricultural education students, teachers, and faculty across the United States in the form of open courseware. Using the Tyler Rationale, the subjects of the study were teachers (learners), teacher educators (subject specialists), and 22 university program planning course syllabi collected from agricultural education teacher preparation programs. A collective list of content items was derived from the course syllabi. Outstanding high school agricultural education teachers and university teacher educators were asked to rate the importance of each item. Only those items rated as important by both groups were incorporated into a new curriculum framework for the course. Overall, 59 content items were considered important by both groups and recommended for inclusion in the program planning course. The 59 items were grouped into twelve categories. The categories included Introduction to Program Planning, Program Goals, Program Evaluation, Program Needs Assessment, Professionalism, Curriculum Planning, Program Budgeting/Funding, Advisory Committees, Recruiting and Marketing, Summer Programs, Legal and Safety Issues, and Total Agricultural Education Program.
A DELPHI STUDY OF TEACHERS’ AND PROFESSIONALS’ PERCEPTIONS REGARDING THE IMPACT OF THE NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND LEGISLATION ON SECONDARY AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS
Authors: Martin Michael J. , Fritzsche Jenny A. , Ball Anna L.
Published: September 2023

The objective of this study was to identify the perceptions of secondary agriculture teachers and education professionals of Illinois regarding the potential impacts of the No Child Left Behind legislation on secondary programs. The Delphi technique for obtaining group consensus was employed to accomplish the stated objective of the study. A panel of 20 agriculture teachers and in-service education professionals were purposively selected to serve as the expert participants in the study. The panel received a series of four mailed questionnaires including a free response question, a Likert-type questionnaire, and two questionnaires indicating levels of agreement with specific themes. The impacts of the No Child Left Behind legislation as identified by secondary agriculture teachers and education professionals were: the certification of provisional agricultural teachers, core academic accreditation, budget constraints, loss of agriculture teachers, decrease of agricultural courses taught, loss of Perkins funding, loss of state career and technical education funding, elimination of career and technical education programs, career and technical education courses being raised to same level as core academic credit, students being discouraged to take agricultural courses, and more application of core academics in the agricultural classroom.

The quasi-similarity and dominant conditions of Weyl spectrum in a complex Hilbert space
Authors: Rugiri Peter Githara
Published: September 2023

The study of spectrum in Hilbert spaces is a very rich in giving more structures of the spectrum and we wish to go in to depth to understand deeper on the structure of the spectrum. Apart from the well-known components of spectrum i.e. spectrum, the approximate point spectrum, the point spectrum and the set of eigenvalues of finite multiplicity: there is need for further study on the Weyl spectrum of an Operator in a complex Hilbert space. To succeed in this study, two conditions to help expose properties of the Weyl spectrum i.e. Quasi-Similarity and the dominant condition will be used.
Towards An Integrated Understanding of Art, Spirituality, and Well-Being
Authors: Yang Charlie
Published: September 2023

This paper explores how art and spirituality are connected and examines how art-based pedagogy, including art appreciation and art making, can facilitate not only developing emotional skills, but also cultivating spirituality and spiritual wisdom in management education. It further
proposes that art appreciation is a virtuous activity, as it can facilitate the learning of spiritual values in a more personally meaningful way. By presenting an integrated model of art appreciation and sharing pedagogical examples of art appreciation, I propose that art appreciation can
provide a more intuitive and immediate approach for developing spiritual values such as empathy and interpersonal care in management education. The primary purpose of this paper is therefore to explore the pedagogical potential of contemplative art-based practices in cultivating not only the
students' emotional skills, but also their understanding of spirituality, thereby contributing to a heightened sense of their personal empowerment and overall well-being.
