Authors: Ghazalsaflou mehdi
Published: June 2024

The objective of this study was to explore the role of spirituality in coping with chronic illness, focusing on how spiritual practices, support systems, and personal beliefs influence the daily lives and overall well-being of individuals living with chronic conditions. This qualitative research employed semi-structured interviews with 23 participants diagnosed with various chronic illnesses for at least one year. Data were collected until theoretical saturation was reached and analyzed using NVivo software. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify key themes and subthemes from the interview transcripts, providing a comprehensive understanding of the participants' experiences. The study identified four main themes: Spiritual Practices, Support Systems, Personal Spiritual Beliefs, and Impact on Daily Life. Spiritual practices such as prayer, meditation, and reading sacred texts were reported by all participants as significant coping mechanisms. Support systems, including family support, religious communities, and spiritual mentors, were crucial for 20 participants. Personal beliefs, such as faith in a higher power and finding meaning in illness, were significant for 18 participants. The impact on daily life included improved coping mechanisms, emotional well-being, and life satisfaction, as reported by 19 participants. Spirituality plays a vital role in coping with chronic illness, providing emotional support, enhancing resilience, and improving overall well-being. The findings underscore the importance of integrating spiritual care into healthcare practices to better support patients' holistic needs. Future research should explore the long-term effects of spiritual practices on health outcomes and evaluate the efficacy of spiritual care interventions in clinical settings.

THE ROLE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL RESILIENCE AND EUDAIMONIC WELL-BEING IN MEDIATING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOUTH SPORTS PARENTING AND MENTAL STIGMA
Authors: Meixiong Yao
Published: June 2024

The primary goal of this study is to examine how parental involvement in childhood sports affects the mental stigma that young Chinese athletes face. The function of psychological resilience and eudaimonic well-being as mediators between youth sports parenting and the internalized discrimination felt by Chinese young athletes was also explored. This study utilized self-administered questionnaires to collect quantitative data from its subjects. We used a technique called convenience sampling to recruit study participants. In order to do the analysis of the data, SEM-AMOS was used. According to the research's results, parental engagement in their children's sports activities has a significant and negative impact on the mental stigma connected with Chinese athletes. The results indicate that participating in youth sports as a parent has positive and considerable effects on a person's eudemonic well-being. In a similar vein, parenting in young sports has considerable and favorably significant impacts on psychological resilience. Youth sports parenting indirectly affects mental health stigma through eudemonic well-being. Youth sports parenting indirectly affects mental health stigma through psychological resilience. Results reveal eudemonic well-being and psychological resilience partially mediate juvenile sports parenting and mental health stigma. The study is among the pioneer on the issues related to youth sports parenting on mental stigma of Chinese young athletes. The mediating role of psychological resilience, and Eudaimonic well-being is an ignored area in sports psychology, and study has laid footprints for future studies. The study will be helpful for policymakers, parents, athletes and researchers in developing and understanding on the issues related to youth sports parenting and mental stigma of Chinese young athletes.

Informal Economy and Poverty Reduction
Authors: Ojima Davis
Published: June 2024

The study investigated the role of informal economy and poverty reduction in selected business activities in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of Rivers State. 140 structured questionnaires were distributed across various business types in the local government out of which 120 were retrieved. The informal sector or grey economy is a business activity that falls outside the formally recognized enterprise engagement not accounted for in the National Gross Domestic Product. As result of the nature of the businesses, it becomes difficult for authorities to hold them for taxation. The study employed the primary data source for information which was a subject of combined descriptive and Ordinary Least Square analytical econometric technique. It employed the SPSS Package for the Management Sciences and Business. The analysis revealed a positive correlation between multidimensional poverty index and family size and monthly consumption among other variables employed in the survey. The findings established the necessity for infrastructural development in the rural areas, educational improvement and adequate finding or accessibility to capital among others. It, therefore, recommended the deliberate policy of government to improve the provision of basic amenities in rural areas, enhance the education facilities to cater for the needs of those in the rural areas and promote access to credit facilities.
Fulani Herdsmen Counter-productive Activities and Food Insecurity among Food Crop Farmers: Evidence from Ekiti and Ondo States, Nigeria
Authors: Oluwatosin OJO Olaniyi
Published: June 2024

Herder counter-productive activities-induced food insecurity is a threat to achieving the number 2 SDGs (zero hunger) in Nigeria. Although studies have been conducted to address the herder-farmer conflict challenge, however, the studies focused majorly on North central Nigeria while not many studies have been done in Southwestern Nigeria. Thus, this study examines herder counter-productive-induced food insecurity in Ekiti and Ondo states, Nigeria to add to the existing knowledge on this challenge. A multistage sampling procedure was used to select respondents for the study. Primary data were collected from 380 farmers in the study area. Descriptive statistics and a probit regression model were used to analyze the socio-economic characteristics of the respondents and the effects of the Fulani herdsmen's counter-productive activities on farmers’ food security status respectively. The result showed that herder counter-productive activities have a positive and significant influence on the farmers’ food insecurity. The results also showed that while factors such as off-farm income, safety net programme, private transfer, farmers’ group membership, and asset ownership reduce food insecurity, household size and Fulani herdsmen attacks increase food insecurity. The government should do more in terms of providing a safety net for victims of herdsmen attacks while farmers should diversify their livelihood activities as well as join groups to access the benefits inherent in groups. Keeping cattle in ranches by the herders also has the potential to resolve the challenge in Nigeria.
Etude comparative des phosphates de Kanzi de la RdC et des phosphates du gisement de Benguerir du Maroc
Authors: PULULU MALAU Cyril
Published: June 2024

Résumé La présente étude consiste à comparer la genèse, la pétrographie, la minéralogie et la stratigraphie entre le gisement de KANZI de la République démocratique du Congo et celui de Benguérir du Bassin de Ganntour du MAROC exploité depuis 1928 en vue de déceler la qualité du gisement KANZI afin donner un avis sur son exploitabilité. Les résultats obtenus sur base des données de terrain et leur analyse couplé aux données bibliographiques est indiqué que sur le plan génétique, les deux gisements se sont formé lors de la phosphogénèse qui a caractérisée la bordure méditerranéo-atlantique de la plateforme africaine, qui a débuté au cours du Crétacé supérieur pour se poursuivre jusqu’à la fin de l’Eocène. Sur le plan pétrographique et minéralogique, les phosphates des deux gisements montrent de similitude du point de vue de leur composition (constitué essentiellement de 4 composants : les débris biogènes, les coprolithes, les grains phosphatés et les grains composites ou agrégats) sauf que le phosphate de KANZI est plus homogène du fait qu'il soit constitué d'une seule couche comparativement à celui de Benguérir qui est à multicouche. Et du point de vue stratigraphique, le gisement de phosphate de KANZI est constitué d'une seule couche phosphorique d'âge maestrichtien alors que celui de BENGUERIR est constitué de 8 couches essentielles hormis les couches secondaires d'âge varié allant du maestrichtien au luténien. En plus de ses caractéristiques évoquées ci-haut, le gisement de KANZI a une épaisseur moyenne de 9 m sur une surface de 6.5 km2, avec un volume récupérable estimé entre 20 et 30 millions de tonnes, d'où son importance économique.
"The Yield from Money Held" Reconsidered
Authors: Hoppe Hans-Hermann
Published: June 2024

Below we publish the Franz Cuhel Memorial Lecture of 2009 by Hans-Hermann Hoppe – a critique of the notion that money held as cash balances is barren and leads to economic predicaments. He shows that while there is a wide family of proponents of such view, few economists recognize the benefits of holding money flowing from the removal of uncertainty. He demonstrates that far from being unproductive, increasing the cash balances can be viewed as an investment into greater certainty (lower uncertainty) taking place at the cost of lower consumption of goods (present and future) perceived as certain. Hans Hoppe concludes his lecture by linking this theme with the current economic crisis and attempts at alleviating its consequence.
Rejoinder to Machaj on Indifference
Authors: Block Walter E.
Published: June 2024

Nozick (1977) was a methodological critique of the Austrian School of economics. He took the view that the praxeological school was guilty of a logical contradiction. On the one hand, it eschews the concept of indifference. On the other, it utilizes that of supply. But, Nozick argued, for there to be any supply of a good, people must be indifferent to constituent elements of it. Block (1980) attempted to answer Nozick’s criticism, making the point that “supply” is a coherent concept, and people are indeed indifferent to units of which it is comprised, but before human action. During human action, there cannot be any such thing as indifference, in the technical sense. Machaj (2007) criticizes both Nozick (1997) and Block (1980). The present paper is a response to Machaj (2007).

National Defense as a Private Good: Freedom as a Positive Externality: A Reply to Newhard
Authors: Ninov Youliy
Published: June 2024

Newhard (2021) questions the practicality of the new type of national defense market suggested in Ninov (2017), where the (state)aggressors are on the demand side, and the defense companies are on the supply side. In the present article, we will first clear some misconceptions arising from the different structures of the anarcho-capitalist defense market and the newly-suggested one. Later we will show the inconsistency of the definition of „free market“ used to oppose our claim that anarchocapitalism is not a free-market system. Then we will address the arguments that barriers to imposing compensations exist and that the efficiency of the national defense will be undermined in our system.
A Case for Better Defined Property Rightsand Against Air Pollution Taxes, Tariffs, and Quotas
Authors: Mena Brando , Block Walter E.
Published: June 2024

Most professional economists see air pollution as a sub-category of “market failure”; namely external diseconomies or negative externalities. We argue, in contradistinction, that this is on the contrary, an example of government failure, to uphold private property rights vis a vis trespassing smoke and other such particles. We summarize the debate taking place with regard to these issues as well as add material critical of the market failure hypothesis.
On the Use of Guerrillas in Defense of Stateless Territory
Authors: Newhard Joseph Michael
Published: June 2024

Rothbard (1999) argues that morality and utility require a guerrilla defense of libertarian societies, an assessment shared by many libertarian thinkers. This paper reviews the literature on guerrilla warfare to consider whether guerrilla forces alone, wielding small arms and light weapons, could successfully defend anarcho-capitalist territory. Despite the romance that surrounds them, the expert consensus is that guerrilla wars are fought only out of necessity by relatively weak powers. They are protracted wars of attrition fought on one’s own territory and as such are highly destructive of the defending homelands. If the enemy does not distinguish between military and civilian targets, as is likely to be the case in a war with anarchist citizen-soldiers, defeat is almost assured. Guerrillas are most effective as complements to regular forces rather than as substitutes, and a strictly guerrilla defense should be employed only as a last resort in the event of a collapse of the regular army or an inability to raise an army.
Secessionism in Northern Italy: From Constitutional Failure to Modern Crisis
Authors: Wenzel Nikolai G.
Published: June 2024

In the wake of the Italian debt crisis and the Euro crisis, Northern secessionist voices have been grumbling over the costs of inter-regional fiscal redistribution – but without action.  The roots of discontent run deep.  The Italian founding of 1861 was forced from above, as centralization quashed local voices.  The Fascist disaster and the post-world-war two republic continued the problem, with two complications:  a redistributive state that uses Northern taxes to buy votes in the South; and an incomplete decentralization that added to the center‘s weight, fueling resentment in the Northern economic engines.  Secession is rare – even with Italy‘s recent economic crisis and other secessionist movements within the European Unions, we continue to see grumbling but no action.  The cost of staying is high, but the cost of leaving appears to be higher… but that calculus may change with the next crisis.

Authors: Almeida Lucas Ramalho de , Gabriel Nilson Lucas Dias
Published: June 2024

A vivência da negritude diante da colonialidade sofre um silenciamento em diversos âmbitos entre eles a literatura e a psicologia hegemônica. Este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar na obra de Conceição Evaristo a expressão da experiência da negritude traçando um diálogo com Frantz Fanon. Esta escolha se deu diante da proposta da Escrevivência de Evaristo, que mistura realidade e ficção focalizando a existência negra. Foi realizada assim uma análise de conteúdo seguindo os procedimentos de Bardin, o material selecionado foi o livro “Olhos D’Água”. Para a análise foi utilizado o referencial teórico de Fanon, que se debruçou sobre os impactos da colonialidade e do racismo para a psique negra, aliado a Psicologia Fenomenológica-Existencial e o pensamento decolonial. A análise evidenciou cinco categorias temáticas: 1. Valorização da Ancestralidade Preta; 2. Projeções Para Um Futuro; 3. Subalternidade da Pessoa Negra; 4. Objetificação do Negro e 5. O Lugar da Mulher Preta. Estas permitiram o estabelecimento de importantes pontos de convergência entre a escrita de Evaristo e as proposições de Fanon, desvelando a condenação imposta à existência negra. Nota-se a importância de uma atuação profissional que se atente às particularidades e consequências destas vivências junto à população negra.

Fuzzy logic, known as fuzzy set theory, has become widely used to deal with uncertainty in research data processing. Fuzzy logic methods are known for their ease of implementation in machine language environments and their effectiveness in combining machine language representations with humanlanguage with an emphasis on meaning or importance. Fuzzy logic maps input space to output space, and this concept is closely related to dealing with uncertainty in data. In applying fuzzy logic in this study, the variables pH and density of milk are considered inputs whose value ranges are divided into low, medium, and high categories. The result of the fuzzy system is the acceptability state of fresh milk. By applying this method using MATLAB software, the simulation results show that at a milk pH of 6.2 and a specific gravity of 1.0320, the acceptability state of fresh milk is 30. After the defuzzification process and manual calculation, the final result is 29.30~30. From these results, fuzzy logic provides high accuracy to support progressive decision-making. This allows the system to consider the complexity of milk quality criteria that cannot always be measured in a binary way (e.g., good or bad), resulting in more precise and accurate decisions.

Some Aspects of the Slavonic Reception of Isidore of Pelusium: An Isidorian Letter
in Constantine of Preslav’s Didactic Gospel /
Authors:   Austrian Academy of
            Sciences, Mitov Georgi
Published: June 2024

The article focuses on the Slavonic reception of Isidore of Pelusium, which has
been commonly regarded as one of the most neglected aspects of the medieval reception of
this patristic author. The starting point of this article is a recent discovery that a
passage of the thirty-fifth homily in Constantine of Preslav’s Didactic Gospel
corresponds to a letter by Isidore of Pelusium. The present study proves that the
corresponding Greek text of this passage belongs to a particular Isidorian letter, which
is distributed not only in the Greek catenae manuscripts, used by Constantine of Preslav
for the composition of his Didactic Gospel, but also as a separate letter in his

new aspects of the Slavonic reception of Isidore of Pelusium.

The paper examines how personal names (including compound anthroponyms and
nicknames that have acquired the meaning of proper nouns) are related to citation and
construction of intertextual relations in Constantine of Preslav’s Didactic Gospel.
Various contexts are observed, which illustrate the use of such nouns: in referring to
biblical and patristic texts, in denoting an author evangelist or his interpreter, and
in activating important episodes of the Holy Scripture in the minds of the perceivers.
References to biblical and patristic texts are provided that have not been noted or
commented so far in the scholarship on this lectionary-based collection of commentaries.
The main conclusion is that, when creating the first Old Bulgarian preaching collection,
Constantine of Preslav did not just translate but also compiled and commented with the
confidence of an erudite man of letters, and that his addressees, though converts, were
well prepared theologically.

This paper aims to systematize the different translation approaches used to convey
the gr. ἀγών 'contest, struggle, suffering, feat'. The semantic development in the Greek
culture and literature is also examined. The translation choices are analysed in the
context of the medieval Bulgarian literature, both from the early period and the later
period, focusing on the ways in which the Greek lexeme is transmitted and conceptualised
in the ascetic writings, where it was used to express one of the key concepts – that of
the monk as a fighter. The aim is to trace the connotations that are retained or lost in
the receiving literary tradition.
The Relationship between the Adhortatio ad poenitentiam (Freising II) and Kliment
of Ohrid’s Homily on a martyr or apostle / Връзката между Adhortatio ad poenitentiam
(Фрайзингски откъс II) и Слово за мъченик и апостол от Климент Охридски

This contribution is meant to once again take a closer look at the purported
textual relationship between the Adhortatio ad poenitentiam, i.e. the second Freising
text and Kliment of Ohrid’s homily for martyrs and apostles. It has been argued that the
second Freising text derives at least in part from this homily or from some unidentified
common model. This assumption is based on partial textual parallels between both texts.
With the exception of Jagić (1905), the validity of the parallels in question has been
intuitively taken for granted without ever subjecting them to a scrutiny on principled
grounds. Our task in this paper is to assess how far the parallels are capable to
support any claims of a shared textual history of the texts under investigation. In
doing so, we shall not restrict ourselves to give an estimate of the actual closeness of
both texts, but we shall also provide a broader assessment of their possible mutual
relationship taking into account aspects of genre and missionary practice.

Different Church institutions as well as individual states (tax implications) around the world have clear rules on commercial use of Church facilities. Can the Catholic Church in Slovenia market its own property? Which part of the Church property is possible to be marketed? We pointed out a case study from business environment and we tried to connect commercial use of the Church property to marketing theory (product, price, place, promotion). We listed some tax, legal and organizational dilemmas, some challenges (defining clear goals) and some instructions from marketing practice how to be successful on the market. This is obviously a huge opportunity for the Slovenian Catholic Church, with many challenges and unused ways how to become even closer to its faithful.

The author of this article shows some of the relationships between long term welfare and taxes. The aim is to compile a theoretically sound foundation with empirical investigation of impacts of taxes on welfare. The analysis brings a compilation of fundamental growth models and empirical investigations of the effects of budgetary neutral tax reform. Empirical studies favour consumption taxes before income taxes and linear taxes before progressive taxes. Comparisons of tax effects across countries need to take into account the structure of public spending and particularly the functioning of institutions that support economic development.
Soul, Subject and Person: A Brief History of Western Humanism
Authors:   Universidad de Navarra, Murillo José Ignacio
Published: June 2024

The history of Western humanism is marked by the emergence of philosophy as a theoretical way for investigating reality. Philosophy studies human beings in connection with the ultimate foundation of reality. Within Western thought, the tradition associated with this kind of research has forged three basic ways of conceiving of human beings’ most radical and distinctive features: man as rational soul, as a self-conscious subject, and as a person. All three are based on important theoretical discoveries, but their coexistence has not always been exactly peaceful. Given that human beings cannot live without self-knowledge, the way we see ourselves has important socio-cultural and ethical consequences, which broaden our view of human beings, bringing to light previously hidden features of humanity. Attempting to recover and make sense of the diverse notions of what it is to be a human being is especially important when the very notion of being human is blurred and its normative value is threatened.

Background: Microplastic pollution mainly occurs from terrestrial sources, but research on plastic contamination in aquatic environments is limited. Freshwater fish are widely consumed throughout Southeast Asia. Microplastic contamination is becoming an important issue that leads to human health risks from consumption.
Objectives: The study aimed to determine the accumulation of microplastics ingested by fish in freshwater in the Mun River.
Methods: Freshwater fishes in the Mun River caught by local fishermen and the most dominant species consumed in the Mun River include Paralaubuca typus, Phalacronotus bleekeri, and Morulius chrysophekaion. Twenty-four samples from each species were collected. Microplastics in these species were analysed for abundance, size, shape, color, and type of polymer.
Results: The results showed that the average amounts of microplastic contamination in the gastrointestinal tracts (GIT) and gills of Morulius chrysophekadion were 17.70±8.20 pieces/fish, Phalacronotus bleekeri were 11.83±8.74 pieces/fish, and Paralaubuca typus were 10.25±7.56 pieces/fish, respectively. The average number of microplastics found in the urban area was 26.50±4.21 pieces/fish; in the agricultural area, it was 9.77±4.10 pieces/fish; in the confluence of the Mun and Chi River areas, it was 9.50±3.51 pieces/fish; and the natural area had 7.27±4.15 pieces/fish, respectively. The average size of microplastics found in fish was 878.29±904.41μm. The most common polymer type microplastic was polyethylene (PE) where the most common shape was Fiber-shaped, and the most common colour was blue.
Conclusion: The study findings indicate a prevalent form of microplastic accumulation in three fish species especially among Morulius chrysophekaion. And findings show that every fish species in the urban area have the most contamination. As a result, fish GIT and gills should be removed before consumption to reduce exposure to microplastics instead of consuming them.
Improving awareness on household flood preparedness and flood-related communicable diseases among students from high schools in Yangon Region, Myanmar

Background: Rainfall-related, river-related, and coastal flooding are expected to be found at Yangon City in upcoming years with increasing climate change and sea level rise. Moreover, outbreaks prone infections can occur during and after flooding. Active participation of youth in flood hazard preparedness can promote overall personal, family, and community resilience.
Objectives: To improve students’ awareness on household flood preparedness and flood-related communicable diseases.
Methods: Quasi-experimental study was conducted at two high schools from Kyeemyingdaing and Pazundaung townships. The health education package included health talks and poster displays for students from the intervention group. Data collection was done before and one month after health education. To assess and compare the awareness of students, the difference in difference (DID) was calculated and the effect of the intervention was analysed by multiple linear regression analysis using STATA.  
Results: Awareness scores between the two groups were not different before the intervention. The awareness score difference between before and after intervention in the intervention group was significantly larger than that of the control group (DID) with mean different scores on flood preparedness, 1.13; flood-related infection, 2.23; and overall awareness, 3.36 respectively. The overall awareness among students from the intervention group was 3.4 scores higher than those from the controls (95% CI 2.4 to 4.3, p<0.001).
Conclusion: The awareness of household flood preparedness and flood-related communicable diseases was improved significantly among the students from the intervention groups with higher scores than that of the control groups. Therefore, this health education package can be applied in other schools from flood-prone areas to improve the awareness of students.
