With this study, we continue the revision of the genera of Scolodontidae (Gastropoda: Styl­ommato­phora), focusing on the taxa with tightly coiled, multiwhorled shells that often bear apertural and/or internal barriers. We analysed type material from all type species and studied some misclassified Charopidae and Streptaxidae. We provide redescriptions and better circumscription of the following Scolodontid taxa: Entodina Ancey, 1887, Systrophia L. Pfeiffer, 1855, and Zilchistrophia Weyrauch, 1960. Martinella Jousseaume, 1887 is transferred from Streptaxidae to Scolodontidae, and the extinct Patagocharopa Miquel & P.E. Rodriguez, 2016 is transferred from Charopidae; Patagocharopa, dating from the Miocene, represents the earliest fossil record of the family. Keranella gen. nov. and Smenodonta gen. nov. are erected. The genera Polygyratia J.E. Gray, 1847 and Ridleyconcha Christensen, 2020, despite recently revised, are also included here for comparison with the other taxa.

Uniwersytet w pętli czasu
Authors: Malewski Mieczyław
Published: February 2025

Uniwersytet ma długą i szacowną historię. Najczęściej jest ona prezentowana w sposób linearny. W opracowaniu tym autor rezygnuje z perspektywy czasu historycznego i osadza opis uniwersytetu w czasie społecznym. Postrzeganie czasu jako zjawiska społecznego wiąże się z upowszechnieniem się zegarów mechanicznych. Przekształciły one czas boski w czas ludzki. Uczyniły go konstruktem społecznym o charakterze regulatywnym. Aktywność ludzi i działanie instytucji społecznych znalazły się we władaniu norm czasowych, które współcześnie stały się rodzajem organizacyjnego kapitału. Artykuł pokazuje, w jaki sposób zarządzanie tym kapitałem wpływa na prowadzenie badań i uprawianie nauki na uniwersytecie. Dowodzi, że uniwersytet znalazł się w orbicie trawiącej nasze czasy gorączki przyśpieszenia. Ustawiczne skracanie norm czasowych dla realizowanych projektów badawczych sprawia, że są one coraz węższe tematycznie i muszą odpowiadać na doraźne potrzeby rynku. Powoduje to, że uniwersytet ugrzązł w teraźniejszości. Utracił związek ze swoją chlubną przeszłością i jest bezradny wobec mglistej i nieprzewidywalnej przyszłości.
Students in Poland in the face of the fake news phenomenon in the context of the war in Ukraine
Authors: Cywiński Aleksander
Published: February 2025

The article addresses the proliferation of “fake news” or “disinformation” in the context of the war in Ukraine that began on February 24, 2022, with Russia as the aggressor. While the conflict has been widely covered by both public and private media globally, the certainty of the reported information’s credibility is in question. Fake news is characterized as false or misleading reports on websites or fabricated stories intended for various purposes. The study examines how Polish students acquire information regarding the war in Ukraine via the Internet, with an emphasis on the issue of fake news. This research revolves around twelve survey questions (online) covering aspects such as information-seeking behaviours, source credibility, and fake news verification techniques. The communicative approach was employed in the study, using seven categories to affirm the credibility of information. While the sample presents asnapshot of the student population’s views, it’s not fully representative of all students in Poland. The research provides an overview of the students’ online information consumption habits in the context of the war in Ukraine. There is clear indication of the dominance of digital platforms, especially social networks, in information dissemination. While students demonstrate some level of discernment by considering authorship and source credibility, the reliance on potentially unreliable platforms and a lack of enthusiasm for training to identify fake news pose concerns. Addressing these concerns would require educational institutions to emphasize the importance of digital literacy. Finally, a set of hypotheses useful in further research is proposed.
„Zimy już nigdy nie będzie!” Narracje klimatyczne starszych kobiet w perspektywie uczenia się z życia
Authors: Kopciewicz Lucyna
Published: February 2025

Celem artykułu jest omówienie wyników badań empirycznych poświęconych doświadczeniom klimatycznym. W badaniach uczestniczyło 35 kobiet reprezentujących najstarsze pokolenie (75-87 lat). Zastosowana jakościowa procedura badawcza – wywiad – umożliwiła zebranie trzydziestu pięciu narracji. Problemy badawcze zawarte były w formule następujących pytań: Jaki retrospektywny obraz zimy jako pory roku wyłania się z narracji uczestniczek badań empirycznych? Jaki obraz ewentualnych zmian klimatycznych wyłania się z narracji kobiet uczestniczących w badaniu?
Ramą teoretyczną projektu jest paradygmat emocjonalizacji zmian klimatycznych. Problematyka zmian klimatu rozważana jest jako kwestia pokoleniowa. Uwzględniony został także problematyczny status pogody (narracji klimatycznych) jako sprawy społecznie ważnej oraz wyłonienie nowego paradygmatu skoncentrowanego na emocjach klimatycznych. Wyniki badań obejmują zidentyfikowane znaczenia zimy jako pory roku, analizę sposobu organizacji narracji klimatycznych, wyłaniające się istotne kategorie opisu, ich funkcje regulujące dyskurs oraz analizę emocji klimatycznych uczestniczek badania.
Projekt empiryczny wpisuje się w szerszą dyskusję o tym, jak badać, opisywać, interpretować zjawiska klimatyczne w perspektywie pedagogicznej. Ustalenia poznawcze projektu wpisują się również w refleksje na temat narracyjnego uczenia się – uczenia się z życia i jego rezultatami.
Cicha rewolucja edukacyjna – tradycyjne misje uniwersytetów pod presją nowych potrzeb i oczekiwań społecznych
Authors: Solarczyk-Ambrozik Ewa
Published: February 2025

Celem artykułu jest ukazanie zmian zachodzących w szkolnictwie wyższym pod naporem nowych potrzeb i oczekiwań społecznych. Podstawową perspektywą oglądu tych zmian są przeobrażenia w obszarze pracy, co ma związek z gospodarką opartą na wiedzy i dynamiką postępu technologicznego. Omówienie wspomnianych zagadnień jest podstawą do podjęcia problemu ewolucji systemów edukacji i kluczowych strategii zorientowanych na zdobycie nowych umiejętności umożliwiających realizację ścieżek kariery zawodowej, adekwatnych do zachodzących przeobrażeń.
W tym kontekście usytuowany został fenomen całożyciowego uczenia jako wymóg cywilizacyjny na globalną skalę oraz idea adekwatności edukacyjnej, którą powiązać można z personalizacją kształcenia i zwiększoną indywidualną odpowiedzialnością za przebieg ścieżki edukacyjnej i kariery zawodowej. Wszystkie te analizy stanowią podbudowę do przedstawienia przewodniej myśli tego artykułu dotyczącej ścierania się różnych koncepcji nowoczesnej uczelni i do poszukiwania odpowiedzi na pytanie o to, jak powiązać autonomię uczelni i swobodę prowadzenia badań naukowych budujących tożsamość uniwersytetów z narastającą presją oczekiwań rynku i budowania kariery zawodowej, jak połączyć tradycyjną kulturę akademicką z kulturą korporacyjną. W artykule przedstawione zostały różne stanowiska w tej kwestii. Jako przykład zachodzących zmian zostało pokazane upowszechnianie mikrokredencjałów i konsekwencje ich zastosowań w różnicowaniu stanowisk w kluczowych dla tożsamości uniwersytetu kwestiach.
Edukacja dorosłych w drodze ku zrównoważonemu rozwojowi w kontekście wyzwań antropocenu
Authors: Stopińska-Pająk Agnieszka
Published: February 2025

Artykuł podejmuje aktualną problematykę dotyczącą zmian antropocentrycznych, z którymi borykamy się wszyscy. Rozważania mają na celu ukazanie, iż edukacja dorosłych nie może pozostać obojętna na te wyzwania i zagrożenia. Edukacja, partycypując w kształtowaniu świadomości, kompetencji, ale także nowych praktyk życia codziennego, w których troska o środowisko naturalne oraz społeczne, będzie stanowiła ich główny atrybut, ponosi współodpowiedzialność za ich upowszechnianie. Zmiany klimatyczne, środowiskowe warunkują bowiem wszelkie inne zagadnienia. Zadaniem edukacji dorosłych jest uświadamiać nie tylko zagrożenia, ale dostarczać pozytywnych wzorów zachowań, kształtować poczucie odpowiedzialności za wspólną przestrzeń, zarówno tę fizyczną, jak i społeczną. Unaoczniać wzajemne powiązania, dostrzeganie potrzeb wspólnych działań i wspólnej troski o środowisko, budowanie relacji międzyludzkich nie tylko w perspektywie najbliższej, sąsiedzkiej, ale w wymiarze krajowym, międzynarodowym czy wręcz globalnym. Edukacja dorosłych może też mieć znaczący udział w realizacji programu zrównoważonego rozwoju i to we wszystkich 17 celach zapisanych w traktatach europejskich.

This paper presents the findings from qualitative exploratory research that aims to explore and understand the social positions of educators. The paper presents key findings based on research questions: what are the social positions of educators before and during the COVID-19 in Estonia? This research applied the theoretical concept of positioning. Empirical data was collected in two stages using five focus groups and six individual semi-structured interviews with educators from non-formal learning settings. Data was analysed using thematic analysis and portrayal methods. Four positions and four interrelated modes of the social positions of educators were explored. Social positions appeared in educators’ values, beliefs, professional activities, dialogue, and reflections. The most valuable position for educators during the COVID-19 pandemic time was the position of being an equal partner which is the main basic interactive positioning mode for developing and maintaining social positions.
My itineraries and experiences in the biographical and narrative universe: between desire and reality
Authors: González-Monteagudo José
Published: February 2025

In this text, which attempts to relate my professional history, my international experiences and my written contributions in recent years, I present my itinerary as a researcher and educator in the biographical-narrative field over the last two decades. This contribution addresses, from a personal and subjective point of view, the recent changes in the biographical universe referred to globalisation, teamwork, international collaboration, the creation of networks and the progressive consolidation, legitimisation and maturation of narrative approaches. I refer to the French-speaking model of the Histoires de Vie en Formation, as a social, epistemological and methodological proposal that seems to me essential to further deepen the biographical in educational contexts. I also characterise some important paradigms of social and educational research, which are of great relevance for the further construction of the biographical-narrative field. I conclude the text with some comments on current challenges and emerging issues in the biographical field.

Published: February 2025

Background: Healthcare Background: Fatigue, characterized by profound and enduring feeling of tiredness, weakness, or exhaustion, may encompass both mental and physical aspects. The nursing profession's multifaceted nature and complexity can lead to fatigue. Shift work, which constitutes about 5% of the global labor force, is crucial in many healthcare settings, ensuring continuity of care, akin to professions like the police and military. Nursing is psychologically and physically demanding, with performance often declining towards the end of shifts. For nurses working rotating shifts, long hours, and night shifts disrupting their circadian rhythms, fatigue becomes unavoidable, hindering optimal nursing activities.
Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of fatigue among nurses in the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad, Pakistan.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted over one year in the twin cities of Pakistan. The sample size was calculated to be 377 using Epitool software, and a convenience sampling technique was employed. Inclusion criteria included nurses of both gender with at least one year of working experience. Exclusion criteria comprised of nurses diagnosed with heart diseases, diabetes, hypothyroidism, psychiatric illnesses (such as anxiety neurosis, schizophrenia, and endogenous depression), pregnant females, and those unwilling to participate. Data collection was carried out using a self-structured questionnaire to gather demographic information, working experience, and working units. The Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) was used to assess fatigue levels. The results were presented in graphs and tables for visual interpretation and comparison. SPSS version 25 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) was used for data analysis.
Results: Out of 351 participants, 120 individuals (34.2%) were categorized as experiencing fatigue, while 231 participants (65.8%) were classified as non-fatigued. The mean weight of the participants was 63.06 kilograms (SD ± 11.67) and the mean height was 161.44 centimetres (SD ± 11.57). Among the participants, 168 (47.9%) were aged 20-30 years, 136 (38.7%) were aged 31-40 years, 37 (10.5%) were aged 41-50 years, and 10 (2.8%) were aged above 51 years. Gender distribution included 66 males (18.8%) and 285 females (81.2%). Marital status showed 223 participants (63.5%) were married and 128 (36.5%) were unmarried. Regarding qualifications, 280 (79.8%) were Registered Nurses (RN), 18 (5.1%) held a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), 52 (14.8%) were Post RN, and 1 (0.3%) held a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN).
Conclusion: The findings indicate that fatigue is prevalent among nurses in the twin cities, with a higher prevalence observed among females compared to males. These results underscore the need for interventions to address fatigue, including optimizing shift schedules and providing mental health support to enhance nurse well-being and patient care quality.Pakistan.

Authors: ELSAYED ATEF EID MADKOUR , Almagasslah Heba Jaffer Hussain , Abbas Maram Turki Ahmed , khawajah Rayan abduallah , Alhindi Razan radwan
Published: February 2025

Background: Bioactive, ion-releasing restorative materials have emerged as a promising solution for improving dentin adhesion and long-term restoration durability. Self-adhesive materials simplify bonding procedures by eliminating the need for pre-treatment adhesives, potentially enhancing clinical outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the microshear bond strength (µSBS) and interfacial micromorphology of contemporary bioactive restorative systems bonded to dentin. Methods: Eighty freshly extracted human molars were prepared and divided into four groups based on restorative material: Surefil One (self-adhesive bulk-fill composite), Cention Forte (alkasite-based material) with and without primer, and Fuji II LC (resin-modified glass ionomer, control). Specimens underwent immediate (24-hour) and delayed (6-month artificial saliva storage) µSBS testing using a universal testing machine. Failure modes were analyzed with stereomicroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to assess the restoration-dentin interface. Results: Cention Forte with primer exhibited the highest immediate and delayed µSBS values, significantly outperforming all other materials (p < 0.05). Surefil One and Cention Forte without primer showed the weakest bond strength, with a high incidence of adhesive failure and pre-test failures after aging. SEM analysis revealed superior interfacial adaptation in Cention Forte with primer and Fuji II LC, while Surefil One and Cention Forte without primer demonstrated poor dentin infiltration, interfacial gaps, and lack of resin tag formation. Conclusion: The results indicate that the use of a primer significantly enhances the bonding performance of alkasite-based materials, making them a viable alternative to resin-modified glass ionomers. However, self-adhesive bulk-fill composites and alkasite-based materials without primer exhibit weak adhesion to dentin, limiting their clinical applicability. Further research is needed to optimize self-adhesive restorative materials for improved long-term bonding efficacy.

Authors: MAGNE Marie Rosette , HASSANE Abdoulaye Boureima , AHOLOU Coffi Cyprien
Published: February 2025

For a decade, the Minawao camp in Cameroon has been hosting Nigerian refugees facing inadequate humanitarian assistance. Drawing on a methodology that combines ethnographic immersion, focus groups, a questionnaire survey and semi-structured interviews with refugees, this study examines refugees' perception of aid in a crucial context of accountability and refugee legitimacy. The findings reveal a decline in the quality of assistance, non-inclusive camp management, limited understanding of aid mechanisms, and fundamental notions related to refugee status. This situation fosters a sense of non-accountability towards the camp, reducing their engagement in camp activities, despite humanitarian agencies’ efforts to improve living conditions. Refugees are calling for inclusive management and a reorientation of programs toward autonomy, grounded in their real needs and aspirations for a safe return to Nigeria. The study advocates for a revision of accountability practices through increased refugee participation in decision-making processes, promoting more responsible and tailored humanitarian aid, and empowering refugees to take an active role in shaping their futures.

The findings reveal that teachers perceive instructional media, such as instructional videos and interactive simulations, as valuable tools for improving students' understanding and motivation in swimming education. Teachers reported that students demonstrated better stroke coordination and higher engagement when media were incorporated into lessons. However, challenges such as limited technological infrastructure, lack of teacher training, and concerns over students' dependency on media were also highlighted. This study contributes to the theoretical discussion on multimodal learning by reinforcing the importance of visual and auditory stimuli in skill acquisition. From a practical perspective, the research underscores the necessity of teacher training programs and improved infrastructure to optimize media use in physical education. Despite its contributions, the study is limited by its small sample size and specific geographic focus. Future research should examine a wider range of participants, including students, and explore the long-term effects of instructional media on skill development. Enhancing media integration strategies can support more effective and engaging swimming education.
Role of Restorative Justice in Strengthening Social Ties and Reducing E-Crime using Social Bond Theory (SBT) and Re-integrative Shaming Theory (RST) (A study on Prisoners and Victims in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia)

Restorative justice has emerged as a powerful framework within the criminal justice system, offering innovative solutions to strengthen the social relations among individuals and decrease e-crimes. This study aims to explore the impact of restorative justice on building trust between individuals in society and how restorative justice contributes to strengthening social ties. Moreover, the study intends to analyze the psychological and social effects of restorative justice on victims and perpetrators. The study adopted an analytical and descriptive design. The researcher first of all analyzed the previous studies on restorative justice and crime reduction. This helped reach at a deep dimension of the current study topic. Additionally, case studies were revised and examined to enrich the study with examples of successful restorative justice programs. Given the complexity and variety of crime, as well as the limitations of punishment-focused court systems, studying the role of restorative justice in reducing crime and strengthening social ties presents a significant challenge. Despite advancements in understanding the drivers of criminal behavior, many traditional legal systems fail to address the root causes of crime or help offenders change, relying instead on punishment as a deterrent. Most of these groups, ranging from the police to the politicians and locals, also lack what they need to implement the restorative methods that remain. This general lack of knowledge and experience is leading to opportunities being missed in using restorative approaches to lower crime and build better communities. In fact, if restorative justice systems are to succeed and realize their goals, this will be made possible only through major initiatives of education and the acceptance of these frameworks. Cultural differences and varied views on justice can slow down the adoption of restorative methods.
Linguistic and cultural Barriers in Translating English Idioms into Arabic

Published: February 2025

Language is the cornerstone of human interaction. It is a tool used to express thoughts, feelings, and ideas. It includes unique nuances, idioms, and slang specific to different regions and cultures. These elements add richness and depth to communication but pose challenges and problems in translation. Translation is the process of rendering aspects and features of a target text semantically, culturally and pragmatically into another language. However, translating idiomatic and culturally-bound expressions has been a challenge for translators as they are culture-bound and involve many cultural elements. The study aims to explore the problems faced by undergraduate students, studying English as FL, while translating English idioms into Arabic. To achieve the main aim of the study, ten English idioms were administered to 40 undergraduate students, randomly chosen, to be translated to Arabic. The analytical descriptive approach was used to check and analyze students' translations. Results showed that the linguistic and cultural factors are the main causes of students facing problems and encountering barriers in translating English idioms into Arabic. Cultural differences play a vital role in idioms translation. The study targeted the recommendations for solving such problems to courses designers, the instructors of translation course, and the students. Course designers have to include English cultural expressions in the English language courses. Instructors are recommended to choose authentic texts rich in idioms i.e. ' texts from media. On the other hand, students to follow the strategic, scientific and recommended steps/methods while translation. Moreover, students should try to find the typical equivalent in meaning and form, or at least the nearest equivalent in meaning. The students can tend to literal translation or paraphrasing as the last option while dealing with idioms translation.
On p-convexification of the Banach-Kantorovich lattice
Authors: Zakirova Gavhar B.
Published: February 2025

Let B be a complete Boolean algebra, Q(B) the Stone compact of B, and let C∞(Q(B)) be the commutative unital algebra of all continuous functions x:Q(B)→[−∞,+∞], assuming possibly the values
±∞ on nowhere-dense subsets of Q(B). Let (E,∥⋅∥E )⊂C∞ (Q(B)) be a Banach-Kantorovich lattice over the algebra L0(Ω) of equivalence classes of almost everywhere finite real-valued measurable functions on a measurable space (Ω,Σ,μ) with σ-finite measure μ. The paper defines the p-convexification of the Banach-Kantorovich lattice (E,∥⋅∥E ) and proves that it is also a Banach-Kantorovich lattice over L0(Ω).

Authors: Saraswathy Dr. Dakshina
Published: February 2025

This paper emphasizes the necessity for an extensive approach by providing a consistent examination of the very complicated subject of child abuse, situations, and rights in India. Any nation's human resources are vital, and they can be strengthened
through education, particularly by enhancing the foundational curriculum. Education is seen as the path that leads to personal growth and advancement. A child's whole growth depends on their family. A child's physical, psychological, and social development will be hampered by deprivation brought by the absence or carelessness of family during their early years. As the relevance of the nuclear family and communal living declines, kids are becoming more susceptible to the whims of the environment. The focus of policy talks in the sphere of child protection is the need for better alternative care that goes beyond institutional settings. This essay critically examines the laws now in place regarding child labor, adoption-related concerns, and child sexual assault. Notable instances include the Juvenile Justice Act, which offers protection and rehabilitation to children in legal difficulties, the (POCSO) Act, which addresses child’s rights and sexual abuse and exploitation, and the Right of Children to Education Act, which affirms that every child has the fundamental right to an education. In conclusion, a comprehensive strategy is needed to handle the intricate problems of children's liberties, status, & abuse in India. The government needs to keep up its efforts to efficiently put current regulations and laws into effect and enforce laws

This study aims to estimate the impact of export on economic growth in BRICS countries by utilizing panel data over the time period from1990 to 2017. Gross Domestic Product Per Capita (GDPPC), GDP (current US$) and export earnings were used as dependent variables and independent variables included oil rents (percent GDP), imports (US$), Export (US$), Tax revenue (percent GDP), population growth, Government consumptions, food production, inflation consumer price, trade, trade openness, gross capital formation, foreign investment, and debt services in the study. Levin Lin Chu, I'm, Pesaran and Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) unit root tests were employed to check the stationarity. Results found that some variables were integrated at different differences and others integrated at level indicating the use of Autoregressive Distribution Lag (ARDL) Model. Results were investigated in two phases. In the first phase, ARDL was used for analysis purpose, the findings of which revealed that a long-run relationship between Oil rents (percent GDP), Export (US$), population growth, Government consumption, food production, inflation consumer price, trade, trade openness, gross capital formation, foreign investment, and debt services. Having limited natural resources, underdeveloped countries face low exports and as consequently less export earnings, hindering economic growth. In the second phase the Granger causality test was applied to examine the direction of causality between GDP per capita and export earnings. Our study found a positive relationship between export earnings and economic growth.”
