Authors: Souza Nathany Morais de
Published: October 2022

Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar uma revisão de literatura sobre o lugar da pessoa com deficiência nos movimentos sociais. Ao considerar a luta de grupos segregados ao longo da história, pode-se destacar as pessoas com deficiência, devido a um percurso de sofrimento, rebelião e, por sua vez, conquistas sociais, jurídicas e culturais. Mediante isso, podem ser considerados sujeitos que merecem destaque, assim como outros povos subalternos, tais como os negros, pardos, índios, comunidade LGBTQIA+, os quais se constituem personagens da história que até hoje integram movimentos sociais a fim de novas conquistas e uma vivência plena em sociedade. Diante disso, a metodologia utilizada concerne a uma revisão de literatura e um tipo de pesquisa qualitativa. Uma das conclusões é que há lugares dentro dos movimentos sociais destinados a esse grupo (pessoas com deficiência), contudo, a literatura apresenta ideias ainda muito vagas quanto a esse objeto de estudo.

Published: October 2022

Liberalisation, the shortage of skilled workers and the economisation of the care landscape pose major challenges for care facilities. In Germany, charities still have a dominant market position. However, this could change in the future due to the "Nursing Home-Industry Complex". Eibe Hinrichs investigates how the development of the carrier and legal form, from a non-profit to a private sector, affects the quality of care and care by means of a scoping review, which he complements with his own practical experience as a nurse in geriatric care as well as clinic and managing director of his own company in the inpatient long-term care of the elderly.

Amy Flowerree (2022) offers an extended criticism of my account of (the normative dimensions of) the act of address, arguing that the notion of cooperativity cannot play the role that my argument needs it to play. Although I think she succeeds in highlighting points I had improperly ignored in my discussion, I argue that the account can be defended against her core concerns.

Authors: Salarvand Shahin , Mousavi Masoumeh-Sadat , Pournia Yadollah
Published: October 2022

Introduction Understanding the psychological and behavioral reactions to emerging infectious diseases is crucial in managing outbreaks. This study sought to explain family members’ experiences of individual memories and coping with the COVID-19 lockdown. Methods An exploratory, descriptive and qualitative research was conducted by content analysis in Lorestan province, Iran. The purposive sampling was continued by achieving data saturation, reaching 29 samples. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted to family members who stayed at home during the COVID-19-induced lockdown. The data was collected from October 2020 to February 2021. Content analysis presented by Graneheim and Lundman was used to analyze the data. Results The findings of this study contained 100 codes and five categories with its respective subcategories. Categories included taking advantage of opportunities (increasing intimate communication in the family; compensation and progress), coping mechanisms (creating fun and creativity at home; trying to spend leisure time; sports, reading books, music; increasing patience and tolerance; and forced Internet communications), social aspects (positive and negative), outcomes (gratefulness, pleasure, and happiness; concerns; psychological aspects; and damage and challenge to the foundation of families), and economic aspects (cost savings; recession/job loss/financial downturn; and low-income families' unaffordability to prepare electronics for education). Conclusion The COVID-19 pandemic and its induced-lockdown have affected various aspects of family life and its pros and cons have been presented by the participants. Policymakers must design and implement programs in line with this change in the public’s lifestyles so that families are not damaged.

Authors: Mendes Borges Aleida , Green Toby
Published: October 2022

This short article introduces the collected essays in this special issue of the Journal of the British Academy. It examines the contexts for the recent expansion of academic research and publication on postcolonial Angola, and the relative lack of scholars based in Angola involved in this production. It contextualises the political, economic and social frameworks which are associated with this situation as a way of understanding the distinctiveness of the collection. Finally, it considers the context of the production of the present edition, during the Covid-19 pandemic, as part of the structural frameworks which both condition and illuminate the collected essays.
Continuity and ruptures in the hegemonic model of femininity in Angola: an analysis of the experience of female lecturers at the Katyavala Bwila-Benguela University (Angola)
Authors: Sequeira Rodrigues Elsa
Published: October 2022

Life in Angola remains heavily influenced by the continued effects of the struggle for independence, followed by over 27 years of civil war. The civil war had a profoundly negative impact on all aspects of human life in Angola, including the perpetuation of traditional gender norms, which results in significant challenges permeating the lives of women in the Southern African nation, placing them in a particularly disadvantaged position in terms of health, education and access to resources. This article focuses on female lecturers at Katyavala Bwila University in Benguela (UKB) to explore their experiences and mainstream discourses in relation to their gendered position. Drawing from in-depth interviews and discussion groups, the article examines discursive practices of subjection or dis-subjection to identify possibilities of transformation which may emerge from the recognition of their gendered experiences.
Work-life balance and work-related attitudes of employees: Case study in Serbian hotel industry
Authors: Ognjanović Jasmina , Mitrović Aleksandra
Published: October 2022

The hotel industry is recognized in the labor market as insufficiently attractive for potential employees. Accordingly, hotel management must pay special attention to ensuring a balance between business and family obligations of employees, to create more favorable working conditions. Respecting the family obligations of employees results in positive work-related attitudes toward employees. This paper aims to investigate the nature of the connection between work-life balance and the work-related attitudes of employees. The research was conducted on a sample of 90 employees in three-, four-and five-star hotels in Serbia. The testing of the set research hypotheses was carried out using a non-parametric test for comparing groups, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. Using a non-parametric test to compare groups, a difference in the level of experience of work-life balance between male and female respondents was determined. It was also noted that men rated work-life balance worse than women. The results indicate a strong, positive, and statistically significant correlation between work-life balance and work-related attitudes of employees. Work-life balance contributes positively to the work-related attitudes of employees.

Published: October 2022

As human capital has become a vital asset in contemporary businesses, utilizing human resources exceeds HRM function towards strategic business partnership within organizations. The key enabling factor was global ICT development that changed functional roles and responsibilities within operating business models and introduced machine intelligence that increased organizational capabilities while reducing human involvement. The paper discusses the current state of AI applications in HRM systems. Emphasis is placed on clarifying technological features and goals, as well as the evolution of existing HRM systems. Furthermore, the paper provides the framework of AI application levels that serve as a foundation for understanding the current operational potential and provides useful evidence for the future development of HRM systems.
Efficacy of integrated physical education and music culture instruction in the first cycle of elementary education
Authors: Stojadinović Aleksandar , Tasić-Mitić Ivana , Spasić-Stošić Ana
Published: October 2022

The aim of this paper is to determine the efficacy of a methodological model that would enable, by integrating physical education and music culture, pupils to be more successful at aquiring the teaching and learning content related to traditional folk dances and develop their sense for music rhythm more efficiently. Experimental method with two parallel groups (EG - experimental group and CG - control group) was used in the research. The experimental program was created based on the recommended content related to traditional folk dances covered in the school subjects Physical Education and Music Culture in the first cycle of elementary education. An integrated approach was applied with the EG in covering the content of traditional folk dances, while the same content was covered in the traditional way with the CG. Testing technique was used to determine the level of development of the sense for music rhythm in both groups, whereas a test for determining the development of the sense for music rhythm served as the research instrument. The obtained results indicate that pupils in the experimental group, where the integrated methodological approach was applied, show a higher level of developed sense for music rhythm than pupils in the other group. It should be stressed that the results confirmed the correlation between music abilities and the movement technique in the folk dances, indicating that the sense for music rhythm should be developed in elementary school as early as possible. This developed sense will serve pupils well at later stages of education and life.
Mental health of informal caregivers
Authors: Rajović Tatjana , Milić Nataša
Published: October 2022

The aging society is facing an important public health problem related to provision of care to older and dependent people. The care provided on a daily basis includes a range of different social and health services, as well as the provision of emotional support to people who are not capable to function independently. Activities important for day by day functioning, such as bathing, dressing, feeding, shopping and health monitoring are only part of the responsibilities and obligations that the "invisible workforce", i.e. informal caregivers, must provide. Even though, regardless of the heavy price informal caregivers often pay with their economic and health status, they still remain a blind spot in public policies. An informal caregiver provides ongoing care and assistance, without receiving payment, to family members and friends who need support due to physical, cognitive or mental problems. Depression is one of the most common problems experienced by informal caregivers and it is estimated that a large number, in the range of 40% to about 70% of all informal caregivers have depression symptoms. The COVID-19 pandemic has certainly left its mark on physical health, however, as the pandemic moves forward, it has began to show an ever increasing impact on the mental health of people around the world, where informal caregivers fall into a particularly vulnerable category. Particularly those informal caregivers who provide long-term help to a member of the family, became of an increased risk of emotional and physical exhaustion due to the burden of care, reduced services, as well as the relocation to consulting by telephone and the digital sphere. While some some of them managed to cope with stress and became resilient, others did not and the increasing psychological pressure led to the development of depression symptoms.

Authors: Đokić Milena , Đokić Ana , Dobrodolac Milica , Ilić Predrag
Published: October 2022

Introduction: Surgical treatment of urolithiasis in children is quite complex and specific due to certain anatomical and functional features of childhood. Methods of surgical treatment at this age are: extracorporeal lithotripsy (ESWL), intracorporeal (endoscopic) lithotripsy - pneumatic and laser, percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) and open surgery. Aim: The aim of this study was evaluation of the effects of ureterorenoscopy and endoscopic lithotripsy in children, as methods of minimally invasive surgical treatment. Material and methods: The retrospective study was conducted at the Institute for Mother and Child Health Care of Serbia "Dr Vukan Cupic" in Belgrade from 2010 to 2020. The study included 112 patients (50 boys and 62 girls) aged 1-18 years with urolithiasis, treated by endoscopic (laser or pneumatic) lithotripsy. The retrospective study was conducted at the Institute for Mother and Child Health Care of Serbia "Dr Vukan Cupic" in Belgrade from 2010 to 2020. The study included 112 patients (50 boys and 62 girls) aged 1-18 years with urolithiasis, treated by endoscopic (laser or pneumatic) lithotripsy. Results: After one ureterorenoscopy, the calculus was successfully disintegrated in 87 (78%) patients: in the renal pelvis in 22 (79%), in the upper pole calices of the kidney in 14 (100%), in the lower pole calices in 10 (50%), in the proximal segment of the ureter in 10 (83%), in the distal segment of the ureter in 27 (79%), in the bladder in 4 (100%) cases. In 19 (17%) patients the second intervention was necessary: in the renal pelvis in 28 (100%), in the upper pole calices in 14 (100%), in the lower pole calices in 14 (70%), in the proximal segment of the ureter in 12 (100%), in the distal segment of the ureter in 34 (100%) and in the bladder in 4 (100%) patients. Conclusion: The primary treatment of pediatric urolithiasis is ureterorenoscopy in combination with pneumatic or laser lithotripsy. It is successfully used in all segments of the urinary tract. The procedure is partially limited in the lower pole calices of the kidney, due to anatomical circumstances and mechanical limitations of the instruments.

Late reconstruction of post-traumatic enophthalmos and hypoglobus using three-dimensional implants: a case series
Authors: Choi Jae Hyeok , Baek Wooyeol
Published: October 2022

Post-traumatic enophthalmos and hypoglobus are common sequelae of facial bone fractures, even after reduction surgery. They are associated with functional and esthetic issues, which may lower the quality of life. These deformities frequently present late, and adequate correction is difficult. We report three cases of late inferior orbital rim reconstructions with three-dimensional printed implants to help resolve these problems. The average duration between the traumatic event and surgery was 3 years and 4 months. One patient was treated with a completely absorbable implant and exhibited satisfactory results until the implant started to biodegrade at 1 year and 9 months after surgery. Two patients were treated with a permanent implant and demonstrated satisfactory results. However, longer follow-up periods were needed. There were no complications such as infection, diplopia, or restriction of ocular motion and the patients were satisfied with the esthetic results.
The Brazil we want: from Psychology to Pedagogy
Authors: Zimbardo Phillip George , Antônio da Silva Renan
Published: October 2022

This article aims to discuss what we miss about the changes in the Brazilian educational system, taking into account the data existing in the last governments (Bolsonaro, Dilma and Lula), specifically about Basic and Higher Education. Methodologically, it is a theoretical essay (bibliographical and documentary research) with a critical analysis approach. The justification for this study is the policies promoted by the current government that provoke, at national and international level, a wide debate in the media and in the scientific communities. In addition to the possibility of reflecting on the context of the pandemic and the insecurities generated by the absence of government actions. The survey identifies that there is no national system that coordinates the responsibilities for Brazilian education. In addition, there is extreme confusion in the current government, lack of public investment, dispute over a political-ideological project, among other factors that make democratic education management in the country impossible.

Published: October 2022

O perfil da personalidade, da autoeficácia e da funcionalidade podem exercer influência significativa quanto a capacidades do desenvolvimento e da manutenção da saúde corporal. Objetivo: verificar se pessoas com ou sem obesidade se diferenciam em relação a variáveis de funcionalidade, personalidade e autoeficácia para hábitos alimentares e exercícios físicos. Método: Estudo descritivo e correlacional. A amostra foi composta por 200 participantes selecionados por conveniência. Resultados: o uso de facetas da personalidade apresenta um melhor detalhamento sobre as diferenças de perfil de pessoas com e sem obesidade, sendo que algumas apresentam contribuição relevante na diferenciação desses grupos. Entre as facetas, ansiedade (Neuroticismo) e assertividade (Extroversão) apresentaram relação direta com a chance de obesidade. As facetas energia (Extroversão) e responsabilidade (Conscienciosidade) apresentaram uma relação inversa com as chances de desenvolvimento da obesidade. Em relação a autoeficácia para situações sociais, esta teve relação direta com a chance de obesidade. Autoeficácia para exercício físico apresentou associação protetiva para obesidade. Sobre a funcionalidade, o grupo de pessoas obesas apresentou um nível mais baixo no domínio de mobilidade. Conclusão: A análise das facetas da personalidade proporciona um detalhamento maior do funcionamento e diferenciação do perfil de pessoas com e sem obesidade. A autoeficácia para hábitos alimentares e exercícios físicos são relevantes para o estudo da obesidade. Os perfis de pessoas com e sem obesidade foram vistos diferenciados como um resultado das associações entre os três fenômenos personalidade, autoeficácia e funcionalidade.
Exigências emocionais para a parentalidade no cuidado ao bebê com síndrome de Down: estudo longitudinal
Authors: Oliveira-Menegotto Lisiane Machado , Sehn Amanda Schöffel , Bossi Tatiele Jacques , Lopes Rita de Cassia Sobreira
Published: October 2022

Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar as exigências emocionais para a parentalidade frente aos cuidados do bebê com síndrome de Down aos três e oito meses. Foi realizado um estudo de caso múltiplo, de caráter longitudinal, no qual participaram três casais, cujos filhos foram diagnosticados com síndrome de Down no momento do nascimento. Os genitores responderam a entrevistas sobre maternidade, paternidade e desenvolvimento do bebê. A análise qualitativa, a partir do relato clínico, evidenciou que o diagnóstico da síndrome de Down gerou nos genitores um processo de negação que se estendeu até o oitavo mês do bebê, mesmo que com menor intensidade. Era preciso negar as limitações que a deficiência poderia trazer ao bebê a longo prazo para que os genitores conseguissem identificar as suas necessidades e atendê-las. Os cuidados especializados contínuos, como estimulação precoce e atendimento médico por problemas de saúde, eram especialmente desafiadores e exigentes. Provocavam desorganização psíquica e da rotina, para além do que um bebê por si só exige nos seus primeiros meses de vida. Tais aspectos, associados a recursos pessoais e financeiros precários, traziam sobrecarga emocional, indicando a importância de espaços de escuta para genitores de bebês com deficiência, a fim de favorecer o desenvolvimento emocional do bebê e da família.\
Terapia cognitivo-comportamental: estratégias e intervenções para abuso de substâncias
Authors: Azevedo João Roberto Lopes de , Menezes Catarina Nívea Bezerra
Published: October 2022

O abuso de substâncias refere-se ao uso danoso de substâncias psicoativas, sem distinções acerca da legalidade. Sabendo da diversidade de tratamentos com diversos graus de efetividade, tendo em vista recentes priorizações de uns sobre outros nas políticas públicas e pontuando a redução de danos como continuidade da reforma psiquiátrica, esta pesquisa objetivou analisar se a terapia cognitivo-comportamental, no contexto de redução de danos, é uma alternativa viável aos processos de internação e/ou abstinência. A metodologia de pesquisa proposta foi a revisão sistemática, a qual se realizou por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica nos portais EBSCOhost e Google Acadêmico, utilizando-se do modelo PRISMA para a seleção. A hipótese levantada sugere que a terapia no contexto proposto é mais eficaz na garantia do bem-estar e da saúde. Os resultados apontam para uma sinergia entre terapia cognitivo-comportamental e estratégia de redução de danos, assim como limitações à estratégia dos 12 passos. Mais estudos na área são necessários para verificar a eficácia da terapia cognitivo-comportamental nos contextos de redução de danos e de abstinência/internação. As intervenções de redução de danos se mostraram eficazes no tratamento do abuso de substâncias, especialmente quando utilizadas conjuntamente a abordagens cognitivo-comportamentais.

Authors: Rodrigues Marianna Santos , Freitas Patrícia Martins
Published: October 2022

O Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) exige cuidados relacionados ao transtorno que podem gerar uma sobrecarga, ocasionando o estresse materno. O objetivo foi investigar as evidências apresentadas pela literatura sobre como os traços de personalidade influenciam no estresse e no coping de mães de indivíduos com TEA. O método utilizado foi a revisão sistemática da literatura. A busca foi realizada nas bases de dados: Portal BVS-Psi, Scielo, PubMed e Medline, entre 2009-2019. As principais evidencias apontam que alto nível de estresse é presente em mães com filhos com autismo, em 90% dos estudos. A avaliação dos traços de personalidade foi pouco expressiva, com 15% das pesquisas, demonstrando que o estresse materno tem relação com traços da personalidade, com atenção ao neuroticismo e extroversão. Os resultados encontrados enfatizam a presença do estresse em mães de crianças com TEA, sendo a personalidade um recurso pessoal que pode minimizar o estresse.
From the Teen Film to the Emerging Adult Film: The Road to Adulthood in Say Anything (1989) and High Fidelity (2000)
Authors: Regueira Martín Andrea Sofía
Published: October 2022

In the past decades, the transition to adulthood in post-industrial countries has become longer, giving rise to emerging adulthood, a new life stage between adolescence and adulthood (Arnett and Taber 1994, Arnett 2000, 2004). Cinema has reflected this change, with a growing number of narratives exploring the challenges of this life stage. Through a comparative analysis of Say Anything (Cameron Crowe, 1989) and High Fidelity (Stephen Frears, 2000), this article seeks to establish the emerging adult film as a youth film subgenre of its own by outlining some of the generic conventions that make it different from teenage films.

Computational model of the full-length TSH receptor
Authors: Mezei Mihaly , Latif Rauf , Davies Terry F
Published: October 2022

(GPCR)The receptor for TSH receptor (TSHR), a G protein coupled receptor (GPCR), is of particular interest as the primary antigen in autoimmune hyperthyroidism (Graves’ disease) caused by stimulating TSHR antibodies. To date, only one domain of the extracellular region of the TSHR has been crystallized. We have run a 1000 ns molecular dynamic simulation on a model of the entire TSHR generated by merging the extracellular region of the receptor, obtained using artificial intelligence, with our recent homology model of the transmembrane domain, embedded it in a lipid membrane and solvated it with water and counterions. The simulations showed that the structure of the transmembrane and leucine-rich domains were remarkably constant while the linker region (LR), known more commonly as the ‘hinge region,’ showed significant flexibility, forming several transient secondary structural elements. Furthermore, the relative orientation of the leucine-rich domain with the rest of the receptor was also seen to be variable. These data suggest that this LR is an intrinsically disordered protein. Furthermore, preliminary data simulating the full TSHR model complexed with its ligand (TSH) showed that (a) there is a strong affinity between the LR and TSH ligand and (b) the association of the LR and the TSH ligand reduces the structural fluctuations in the LR. This full-length model illustrates the importance of the LR in responding to ligand binding and lays the foundation for studies of pathologic TSHR autoantibodies complexed with the TSHR to give further insight into their interaction with the flexible LR.
Small Words, Big Picture

This study attempts to analyse the stylistic and cultural role of diminutives using examples from the short story collection The Last Wish by A. Sapkowski. With the rising popularity of the computer game series as well as the Netflix series based on The Witcher Saga, so rose the interest of the English-speaking world in the Slavic culture. The role of diminutives can present a serious linguistic and cultural barrier for any translator as they may or may not be present in the translator’s native tongue. Translating a text to a language in which diminutives play a significantly smaller role than in the original requires not only a robust lexical knowledge, but also the ability to express each of the four distinct functions of diminutives in an appropriate manner. The method chosen for this study involves compiling all the diminutives and hypocorisms from a given short story and comparing them with corresponding phrases chosen by the translator, as well as evaluating the techniques used and providing alternatives where applicable. The authors believe that a close look at the translation of diminutives will allow the public to fully appreciate the depth and nuance of meaning characterising the work steeped in Polish and Slavic tradition to such extent.
Which model of English should we teach?
Authors: Branigan Stephen
Published: October 2022

The changed nature of English into that of a global language means that contemporary learners of English are more likely to acquire the language for the purposes of a lingua franca than to communicate exclusively with native speakers. It is therefore considered that learning the language through traditional native-speaker models does not serve them well, nor does it meet their needs. The models of 1) native speaker, 2) nativised and 3)English as a lingua franca (ELF), originally presented by Kirkpatrick (2006), are re-examined with their attributes and drawbacks in this modern context. An analysis of responses to the question ‘Which model of English should we teach?’ was carried out on two Reddit (reddit.com) discussion groups which included teachers and learners. These responses from actors in the field of English language teaching (ELT) were first categorised and then compared with academic opinions. The comparisons showed that both groups were generally in agreement with regard to an appropriate model and pedagogy. No single model was advocated; rather, the prominent opinions supported a postmethod approach that utilised the existing ELT framework of a stable Standard English that is codified, has well-established institutions, etc. However, this model should be one that accommodates other varieties of English as well as accepts second language (L2 to L2) communications as legitimate in their own right and utilises a more bespoke, context-based pedagogy.

The sea-land breeze (SLB) circulation plays a vital role in the transport of atmospheric pollutants in coastal cities. In this study, a single particle aerosol mass spectrometer (SPAMS) and combined bulk aerosol instruments were deployed to investigate the ambient particle characteristic at a suburban coastal site in Hong Kong from February 22 to March 10, 2013. Significant SLB circulations were captured from March 6–10, 2013, during the campaign. During the SLB periods, air quality worsened, with PM2.5 concentrations reaching a peak of 55.6 μg m−3 and an average value of 42.8 ± 4.5 μg m−3. A total of 235,894 particles were measured during the SLB stage. Eight major sources were identified by investigating the mixing states of the total particles, including the coal-burning related particles (48.1%), biomass burning particles (6.7%), vehicle emission-related particles (16.4%), sea salt (9.2%), ship emission particles (2.7%), dust/steeling industries (3.7%), waste incineration (6.3%), and road dust (3.9%). It was noteworthy that the PM2.5 concentrations and particle numbers increased sharply during the transition of land wind to the sea breeze. Meanwhile, the continental sourced pollutants recirculated back to land resulting in a cumulative increase in pollutants. Both individual and bulk measurements support the above results, with high contributions from coal burning, biomass burning, bulk K+, and NO3−, which were probably from the regional transportation from the nearby area. In contrast, the ship and vehicle emissions increased during the SLB period, with a high sulfate concentration partially originating from the ship emission. In this study, field evidence of continental-source pollutants backflow to land with the evolution of sea breeze was observed and helped our current understanding of the effect of SLB on air quality in the coastal city.

Flowers are an important part of Indian culture, and because of various religious practises, tonnes of flowers frequently collect in places of worship such temples, mosques, churches, and gurudwaras. They are also generated at weddings, flower markets, residential neighbourhoods, and other events. Unfortunately, the majority of these flowers are frequently dumped in garbage and water after being used, endangering the ecosystem. In order to reduce the effects caused by floral waste this can be converted into the production of value added products like incense sticks, compost, soaps, essential oils. Hence, to understand the market for these floral rejuvenated products, the present study was taken to analyse the source of awareness of users and factors influencing the users to purchase the floral rejuvenated products. Data was collected from 120 users in the Hyderabad city and analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA Test and Factor analysis.

Authors: Isaqova V.
Published: October 2022

The effect of zeolite and biohumus on the biological activity of irrigated grass-gray soils under beans of the subtropical zone was studied. It was determined that the biological activity of the irrigated grass-gray soils changes depending on the growth phase of the bean, the applied biohumus and zeolite rate. Based on complex biological indicators (activity of enzymes, the number of microorganisms, abundance of carbon dioxide released from the soil, intensity of the nitrification process, intensity of decomposition of cellulose), bio-diagnostics of irrigated meadow-gray soils were given, an integral indicator of the biological condition of the soil was determined, and a biological assessment was carried out.

The purpose of the work is to determine the effect of biohumus and zeolite on the biological activity of irrigated grass-gray soils used under the bean plant, and to conduct a biological evaluation based on complex biological indicators.

The research object is irrigated meadow-gray soils (in WRB - Irragic Calsisols) of the subtropical zone, various doses of biohumus and zeolite, small bean-mung bean (Vigna Angularis) plant. Scheme of the experiment: 1. control (without fertilizer); 2. biohumus 5 t/ha; 3. zeolite 5 t/ha (clinoptilolite); 4. biohumus 5 t/ha + zeolite 5 t/ha; 5. biohumus 7.5 t/ha; 6. zeolite 7.5 t/ha; 4. biohumus 7.5 t/ha + zeolite 7.5 t/ha.

Chemical composition of zeolite: Na2O-0.55; MgO-1.49; Al2O3-11.86; SiO2-66,0; P2O5-0.11; SO3-0.01; K2O -9.02; CaO-6.61; TiO2-0.51%; MnO-0.07; Fe2O3-3.77.

Chemical composition of biohumus: humus 16%, pH 7, total azot (N) 3.2%, total phosphorus (P) 2.6%, total potassium (K) 2%, Ca 4.3%, Mg 0.6%, Fe 0.45%, Cu 0.5%, C:N 13.

Mathematical-statistical calculation of the numbers obtained as a result of the research was carried out based on the Anova programma. The obtained results show a significant difference between the variants and compared to the control.

Aims: Green synthesis of nanoparticles using plant extracts has become an emerging field of nanotechnology because some of the essential phytochemicals present in plant extract, helps in formulating and enhancing the bioactivity, functionality and compatibility of the nanoparticles. In this study, the green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles using plant extract and its antimicrobial activity was explored.

Place of Study: The study was conducted at Functionalized Materials Research Lab, Department of Chemistry, CCSHAU Hisar, Haryana, India.

Methodology: In this study, ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized using Mesua ferrea leaves extract as a stabilizing agent. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) and FE-SEM (Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy) techniques. The results indicated the successful synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles. The synthesized ZnO nanoparticles were further used for the evaluation of their antibacterial and antifungal activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Aspergillus awamorii, respectively.

Results: The synthesized ZnO nanoparticles possess characteristic FTIR peak at 445 cm-1 corresponding to Zn-O stretching vibration. XRD revealed that the average crystallite size of ZnO was 20 nm. The ZnO nanoparticles exhibited good antibacterial and antifungal activity with a maximum inhibition zone of 1.5 cm and 2.0 cm against the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Aspergillus awamorii, respectively.

Conclusion: The Mesua ferrea plant have some inherent medicinal properties. The ZnO nanoparticles synthesized using plant extract possess antibacterial and antifungal activity due to the synergestic effect of the ZnO nanoparticles and the plant extract.
Emerging Issue of the Viability of Legal Mechanisms Available to Caribbean Countries to Force Action on Climate Change and Its Existential Consequences

As we navigate through the third decade of the 21st century confronted by a barrage of natural disasters with fingers pointed at climate change, what is clear is that the poor and vulnerable are the greatest victims of the ravages caused by changing weather conditions. According to Dr Fahad Saeed in response to the 2022 monsoon apocalyptic impact on many Pakistanis, “People with the smallest carbon footprints are suffering the most...The victims are living in mud homes with hardly any resources - they have contributed virtually nothing to climate changes.” Yusuf Baluch, a 17-year-old climate activist from Balochistan, says that inequality in the country is making the problem worse. He remembers his own family home being washed away by flooding when he was six years old. "People living in cities and from more privileged backgrounds are least affected by the flooding," he explains” [1]. The Caribbean has not been spared from the savagery inflicted on humanity by forces associated with climate change. This paper examines the prospects of litigating climate justice in the Caribbean.
