Authors: Machethe Petrus , Mofokeng Jacob Tseko
Published: January 2022

In the past few years, South Africa has experienced an enormous increase in the amount and types of illicit drug manufacturing, distribution and use. This has resulted in an increase in the burden of crime and health risks in the community. The patterns of drug availability and drug use have been linked to regional and country variations, socio-economic status, racial and geographical differences. Because of the dramatic increase in the availability of various illicit drugs, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime World Drug Report (2012) identified South Africa as one of the drug centres of the world. This raises concerns about whether law enforcement agencies perform their functions effectively. This paper focuses on the illicit drug networks that hinder the effectiveness of law enforcement in South Africa. The modus operandi used to produce and smuggle illicit drugs and the challenges experienced by law enforcement to prevent and combat illicit drugs will be discussed. The data was collected through in-depth interviews with experts within the criminal justice system in South Africa. The study conducted in 2017/ 2018 in terms of the scientific measurements, has adopted a qualitative approach. Data was collected from a target population consisting of 11 SAPS drug-related crime experts, including members of the SAPS specialised detectives of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI), crime intelligence members, border police, the International Criminal Police Organisation (INTERPOL) and commanders at ports of entries. A documentary study was used as a secondary method of data collection. Data obtained from interviews were analysed by identifying common themes from the respondents' descriptions of their experiences.

Authors: Al-Nahdi Yousef Ali Ahmed , Zhao Shuo
Published: January 2022

There is an increasing demand in recent years for the study of the Arabic language by foreign learners as a second language, especially Chinese students. There are wide ranges of necessity to Arabic languages, such as commercial, industrial, economic, cultural, political, media, and other fields. Many foreign learners are learning this language to increase demands in all areas of life and use it in non-Arabic-speaking countries. China is one of those earliest countries that took this advantage and offered this program for an academic major. It’s almost 37 universities and institutes where the Arabic language is taught in China. The request for learning this language has increased because of the urgent need for exchange programs with Arab-speaking countries. As result, international experts believe motivations are an important factor in teaching Arabic to non-speakers that can be influential reasons for the foreign learners to practice, argue, push and motivate them to benefit more and overcome the difficulties of the Arabic language. This study examines two facial types of motivations, instrumental and integrative motivations. In this study, all participants are Chinese students currently studying in China. The number of participants was 125 students from both genders, including 4 academic directors of the Arabic language department in five public Chinese Universities. The findings show that Chinese students learning Arabic as a Second Language (ASL) are highly instrumental than integrative to studying Arabic. A lack of experience of the Arabic language in their classrooms and society guides their attitude. The findings also revealed that there is a relationship between the language structure and a classroom environment that decreases their motivation and achievements of learning Arabic.

Authors: Maliqi Reshat
Published: January 2022

The application of criminal procedures in the investigation of organized crime in Kosovo quests a deeper empirical study and wider research of a scientific literature than ever done before. The failure of many organized crime cases throughout the courts of Kosovo and the light and acquittal sentences are real indications that the application of criminal proceedings is not being properly conveyed in practice. The data provided through the empirical research of this paper indicate that non-compliance with criminal procedures leads to a decrease in efficiency and a significant increase in organized crime cases. Through this research we aim to identify the possible factors that affect the growth of the phenomenon of crime as well as the reflection of institutions dealing with the prevention and fight against crime. According to the observation the author suspects that the starting point of criminal proceedings regardless of the degree of probability is extremely important for the fight against crime, especially the fight against modern forms characterized by a high degree of organization, professionalism, specialization and secrecy. This paper reflects the detailed theoretical research of the scientific literature by various local and foreign authors and experts who have written about criminal procedures, research and analysis of theoretical and practical data on the meaning and importance of the implementation of criminal procedures in detecting organized crime in Kosovo are of particular importance to investigators of organized crime in the future.

The effectiveness of criminal procedures in detection of organized crime in Kosovo should be closely related to criminology, criminalistics and criminal policy, the implementation of criminal procedures should in principle aim to return the basis of suspicion to the highest level of suspicion. This activity starts with the appearance of the basis of suspicion or the highest form of suspicion in the form of orientation and elimination indicators. The same activity consists of criminal control and processing. The content and strategy of these activities determine their further course, as well as condition the range of rules of criminal science in a specific case based on the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure, as well as other provisions of laws and bylaws.

The semiotic dimension of contemporary pragmatics
Authors: Niu Min , Dechsubha Thawascha
Published: January 2022

Contemporary Pragmatics has the semiotic features from the respects of disciplinary naming, the means of development, and theoretical source to research object and method. It is not only an independent linguistics and language science, but also an interdisciplinary field and paradigm. This paper is to explore the semiotic features and dimensions of Pragmatics for tracing back the origin and the theoretical resources from semiotic perspective, and to define its research scope and clarify the connotation of its conception. As Semiotics has a triad dimension of semiosis, one of which is the “pragmatic dimension”. Therefore, contemporary pragmatics includes at least three semiotic dimensions: scientific semiotics, linguistic semiotics and social semiotics. The semiotic analysis of Pragmatics could be conducive to clarify and fix the semiotic and philosophical origin, definition, disciplinary connotation and meaning of Pragmatics, which is also theoretically helpful for clarifying the concepts for the study of philosophical pragmatism, pragmaticism, semiotics, semantics and syntax.

Two UV-spectrophotometric methods have been developed and validated for simultaneous estimation of Sacubitril and Valsartan in a tablet dosage form. The first method employed solving of simultaneous equations based on the measurement of absorbance at two wavelengths, 226.0 nm and 254.0 nm, 𝜆max for Sacubitril and Valsartan, respectively. The second method was absorbance ratio method, which involves formation of Q-absorbance equation at 240 nm (isoabsorptive point) and also at 254 nm (𝜆max of Valsartan). The methods were found to be linear between the range of 4-12 𝜇g/mL for Sacubitril and 2-10 𝜇g/mL for Valsartan using Methanol as solvent. The mean percentage recovery was found to be 96.68%and 101.89% for the simultaneous equation method and 100.2% and 104.53% for the absorbance ratio method, for sacubitril and valsartan respectively. It could be concluded from the results obtained in the present investigation that the two methods for simultaneous estimation of sacubitril and valsartan in tablet dosage form are simple, rapid, accurate, precise and economical and can be used, successfully, in the quality control of pharmaceutical formulations and other routine laboratory analysis. The reviewed highlights various analytical techniques such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ultra- performance liquid chromatography (UPLC), UV Spectroscopy, high per-formance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC), liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC- MS), RP-HPLC and other chromatographic method used. The combination of these drugs with different method was examine and the commonly use of the drugs in hypertensive.
A CONTEMPORANEIZAÇÃO DO ENSINO DE FILOSOFIA: MECANISMOS DE RESOLUÇÃO DE PROBLEMAS E DILEMAS EM SOCIEDADE

Ao longo do tempo, o saber e fazer filosófico foram desmembrados para os múltiplos atendimentos da sociedade e dos dilemas vivenciados por povos em suas usabilidades inter e intrapessoais. Contudo, o processo evolucionista e globalizante da humanidade, foi conduzindo a instância filosófica à ciência teórica e equivocadamente desvinculada ao cotidiano coletivo. Assim, o estudo busca analisar a forma com a qual o ensino-aprendizagem é capaz de estimular o ensejo de um processo filosófico concreto e capaz de atender os problemas e continuidades de seu tempo. Essa funcionalidade pode ser provocativa desde a fundamentação do ensino, possibilitando o desenvolvimento de um ser humano mais crítico, reflexivo e reverberante em seu momento histórico e para legitimação de sua própria trajetória. A análise literária permite uma observação contemporaneizada nos mecanismos de aplicação e nos ambientes de interfaces resolutivas e prósperas de usabilidade filosófica e auxílio do ser humano e de sua coletividade.

O trabalho teve como objetivo comparar as terapias de reposição hormonal sintética com as de fitoestrogênios e suas relações com os sinais e sintomas da menopausa. O método de pesquisa foi através de uma revisão integrativa da literatura científica nacional e internacional. As  plataformas de busca foram: Scielo, EbscoHost, Pubmed, Portal Capes e BVS nos últimos 5 anos, no período de abril a maio de 2021,  com os descritores em ciências da saúde (DeCS): Menopausa, Reposição hormonal, fitoestrogênio. A pesquisa inicial resultou em  404 artigos, destes foram selecionados 16 artigos, que responderam ao objetivo proposto. Os resultados mostram que as terapias de reposição hormonal sintética e/ou com fitoestrogênios podem ser administradas para minimizar os sinais e sintomas do climatério. Toda terapia hormonal necessita de uma avaliação prévia do estado geral de saúde, bem como do histórico de doenças familiares. Feito isso, estas são opções de tratamento eficazes para as mulheres passarem por essa fase da vida evitando algumas complicações causadas pela baixa estrogênica.

A síndrome do ovário policístico (SOP) é um transtorno endócrino metabólico muito comum em mulheres na fase entre a menarca e a menopausa. Alguns elementos, a exemplo do fator genético, ambiental e socioeconômico, estão relacionados ao desenvolvimento desse distúrbio, assim como a presença de condições clínico-patológicas, como a obesidade, sendo muito comum o aumento dos sintomas da SOP na vigência de um consumo excessivo de carboidratos simples, gorduras saturadas e trans. Diante do exposto, a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo verificar a associação entre o excesso de peso e a progressão da síndrome dos ovários policísticos. O trabalho é uma revisão narrativa da literatura, baseada em artigos científicos das bases de dados bibliográficos PubMed e SciELO, sendo utilizados, prioritariamente, artigos datados entre 2016 e 2021. O excesso ponderal leva a um hiperandrogenismo, promovendo o aumento da produção e da ação biológica dos androgênios no organismo, principalmente da testosterona. Esse estado reflete na menstruação irregular, infertilidade e presença de cistos nos ovários. Assim, pode-se concluir que o excesso ponderal tem relação direta com a instalação e/ou exacerbação da SOP e que o controle dietoterápico e de estilo de vida se faz essencial para tratar essa condição.

El sobrepeso y la obesidad infantil se han convertido en uno de los desafíos de la salud pública a nivel mundial. Estas condiciones pueden afectar varios sistemas, asociándose con un inicio temprano de la pubertad y erupción dental. Objetivo: evaluar si existe una asociación entre el estado nutricional y la cantidad de dientes permanentes erupcionados en una población de niños escolares en Costa Rica. Material y métodos:  Estudio transversal con una muestra de 753 niños entre los 6 y 12 años. Se realizó un examen clínico donde se registró la presencia o ausencia de dientes permanentes y se tomaron medidas de peso y talla. El estado antropométrico fue evaluado según los criterios de la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Se efectuó análisis descriptivo para todas las variables, comparación de medias entre los grupos (sobrepeso/obesidad vs peso normal) con la prueba U de Mann-Whitney. Se utilizó un análisis de regresión lineal con la edad y el sexo como covariantes. Resultados: Un 69.20% niños presentaba un peso normal y 30.80 % sobrepeso/obesidad. El promedio de dientes erupcionados era mayor en los niños con sobrepreso/obesidad que en aquellos con un peso normal (p=0.001). Al realizar la comparación según el sexo, la diferencia se mantiene (hombres, p=0.001; mujeres, p=0.018). El análisis de regresión lineal demostró que el estado nutricional (p=0.001) y la edad (p=0.001) están asociadas con el número de dientes permanentes erupcionados. Conclusión: los niños en edad escolar con sobrepeso/obesidad presentan mayor cantidad de dientes erupcionados que sus pares con un peso saludable.
