An independent criminalization of psychological violence – Pro and counter arguments, and what now?

The central question in this article is which arguments argue in favor of or against an independent criminalization of psychological violence, and what further research should focus on. Arguments in favor of independent criminalization are found in the standardization and recognition of psychological violence, better awareness, a higher willingness to report crimes and a negative incentive for aid. The objections to separate criminalization consist in provability problems, psychological violence is already punishable, existing (less drastic) alternatives to criminal law and objections based on the lex certa-principle. Finally, the doctoral research conducted by co-author Timmers in this field is discussed.

Balancing between safety and care – Three opinions on hybrid working in a prison

In todays prisons, officers have to keep a balance between safety and care. By means of Q methodology, opinions of prison officers have been collected on this topic. Three opinions are distilled. For care first the starting point is giving care, for safety first the safety of staff and detainees must be guaranteed before giving care, for the third opinion, recovery first, care and safety must be at the service of the reintegration of the detainee. It is advisable to take these three profiles into account in coaching and training.
Research and Evaluation of Contemporary International Relations and "Hybrid Warfare"
Authors: Purevdorj Myagmardorj
Published: May 2023

The main purpose of this paper is to conduct qualitative research based on the research work of some foreign and domestic researchers who studied the concept of "hybrid war" in modern international relations and the nature, form and tactics of "hybrid war". This study was conducted because it was deemed necessary to do some research on the risks of external factors that could negatively affect Mongolia's national security in the context of the unstable international relations stemming from the current international relations and confrontations of great powers.
After the Crimean crisis that started in the spring of 2014, the term "hybrid war" began to be commonly used among Western researchers to study Russia's policy of expanding its sphere of influence, especially its geopolitical policy toward Ukraine. The combination of "conventional" and "non-conventional" war methods, which are carried out in order to divide Ukraine from within and support separatist activities, have been studied in the context of "hybrid war". However, this research work shows that this "hybrid war" has many different models and manifests itself in many forms due to many factors such as the military force, economical capability, political power and geographical location of the opposing countries.

Trends in research on wood forest products: a bibliometric analysis
Authors: Santos Paulo Henrique , Cruz José Elenilson , Souza Leandro Rodrigues da Silva , Marques Leonardo Garcia , Lopes Cassiomar Rodrigues
Published: May 2023

Considering that the global trade in forest timber products is prominent, academia needs to obtain directions for future research on forest timber products. This study aims to identify the trends and growth of publications on timber forest products, identifying driving, emerging, or crosscutting themes. The database used is Scopus, the search terms were "wood forest products" and "timber products" and the period was from 1955 to 2022. The bibliometric method was applied, using the Bibliometrix package and the interface Biblioshiny, from the R software. The results show that 89.06% of the 1,007 studies returned come from the USA, Canada, and China and that most of the publications are concentrated in three international journals. Themes that have recently emerged, such as climate change mitigation, bioeconomy, climate change, carbon stocks, plywood, biomass, and international trade, indicate a trend and suggest possible gaps to explore in future research. The contributions of this study are in the identification of driving and emerging/transversal themes that can direct future research on wood forest products, as well as already consolidated themes that no longer represent research trends. The limitations, on the other hand, are related to the collection of data only in the Scopus database and the quantitative analysis of topics based only on keywords contained in parts of the documents. Future studies may go beyond trend analysis, performing co-authorship analyses, examining authors and their affiliations, and studying the social structure and collaboration networks. They may undertake citation analysis, using citation counts as a measure of similarity between documents, authors, and journals.
Dialogic discourse through scaffolding and student motivation
Authors: Girart Milagros , Cevasco Jazmín
Published: May 2023

The speech in the classroom is important to promote the learning and critical thinking of students. Previous studies indicate that teaching interventions based on a dialogic discourse can stimulate the motivation and commitment of students. The dialogic approach is aimed at improving the participation and exchange of ideas in the classroom, with the teacher occupying a facilitating role for students to develop their communication skills. The objective of this review is to present studies that implemented a practice of dialogic discourse or an interactive scaffolding in the classroom and found a potential impact of this tool on student motivation and commitment. First, we will present the concept of scaffolding, in particular how dialogue can be used as an interactive scaffolding tool, and its relationship with motivation. Then, we will explain what a dialogic teaching consists of and what are its consequences in cognitive and emotional development. Finally, we will review studies from different countries in which the implementation of a dialogic practice managed to promote student motivation, that is, function as a motivational scaffolding. In conclusion, the prevalence of other pedagogies in the classroom is problematized and important variables are mentioned to consider for future investigations. The tour of these studies will allow us to highlight the need to expand research on the benefits of dialogic discourse in the classroom, particularly in Spanish -speaking students.
Conflicts of interest, Ghostwriting, epistemic invasions, precautionary principle and a risky risk analysis of modified MNAs
Authors: Mirande Santiago NC , Martínez Debat Claudio
Published: May 2023

The Multi, Inter and Transdisciplinary were present in the immediate response to the Pandemic Declaration COVID19, with limitations. There was a predominance of certain disciplinary areas, leaving aside and even suppressing or censoring others. The scientific-technological context, with opposing positions: disruptive technologies (which mark an agenda, accompanied by a homogeneous narrative while contradictory, with obvious examples of conflicts of interest, and cases of ghostwriting) vs. An independent science that, except exceptions, uses scarce data and unconventional forums (social networks, blogs, other web platforms) to try to clarify and question the hegemonic narrative. In this context, the so -called “epistemic invasions” (Epistemic TresPassing) appear as a risk at the same time that the opportunity to give a valid response and contribute to the generation of inter and transdiclinary knowledge. As an example of the contextualized above, we perform a risk analysis of the new modified MRNA vaccines (NV), from the disciplinary fields of biology and the legal. From the biology approach, various categories were identified to be analyzed from the molecular, cellular, biotechnology and biosecity subdisciplines. From the legal, we observe that the authorization and mass implementation of these NV without evaluating possible damage, without adopting preventive measures, without properly evaluating its effectiveness and without weighing other types of therapies despite the uncertainty and absence of scientific information about their risks and impacts may imply an unlawful investment of the precautionary principle. In conclusion and after the corresponding risk assessment we postulate that the mass implementation of these NV must be carried out according to the precautionary principle: in the absence of certainty or scientific information on possible damage consequences, preventive measures must be taken and inform the population in a transparent way and effective, above all, possible damage or risk of damage.
What do they want from us? Reflections located to make the gaps more bearable between those who make the struggles and those who write them
Authors: Morales Martínez Claudia Fernanda
Published: May 2023

10 years ago the Lencas communities of Honduras, organized in Copinh, began a blockade on the road to stop the access of the Agua Zarca Hydroelectric project that intended to privatize the Gualcarque River that crosses them. Attracted by their struggle, eight years later I went into their territory to dialogue with women who were part of the resistance in order to think together the relationship between the territory and the female bodies. The present work aims to present a series of reflections - subject personally and corporeal - around that research experience, to continue problematizing about the possibilities of producing knowledge that placed to the center the demands of those who resist the extractivist onslaught. It seeks to challenge our academic work with the question What do they want from us? and present some of the answers that come from the meeting with the indigenous women of that Central American country.

Matriarchal societies such as indigenous cultures of peace: Heide Göettner-Abendroth and Abdullah Öcalan's research and life experiences
Authors: Carranza Gómez-García Alejandra Natalia
Published: May 2023

With the objective of making an approach to two ways to address the matriarchal civilization paradigm, it is exposed about the systematization of the philosophy of the matriarchal societies carried out by Heide Göettner-Abendroth, on the one hand, as well as about the work on the origins Matriarchals of civilization by Abdullah Öcalan. The personality and life experience of the German philosopher Göettner-Abendroth, as a woman who also suffered academic discrimination due to the controversy caused by her line of research, stands out in this resistance to patriarchy. On the other hand, from a different perspective than the western one, but coincident in the aspects that put the origin of the matriarchal, the testimony of the life of the political and intellectual leader Kurdo Abdullah Öcalan is presented, which continues to be unjustly imprisoned as a result of its defense of the women's revolution: "Woman, life and freedom." The contrast presented between these two diverse referents allows to see the diversity of arguments that exist to maintain that matriarchy not only exist, but resist by millennia. Common points are sought between an investigation into the matriarchal indigenous societies around the world and the paradigm of a democratic confederalism that has its roots in the archeology of the first civilizations that were matriarchal.
Dialogues, transdiscipline and interculturality in processes of teacher and community training in environmental education
Authors: Guerrero Tamayo Katherine , Iribarren Luciano , Cordero Silvina
Published: May 2023

We present in this work an analysis of continuous teacher training processes and community in Environmental Education (EA), carried out in the Delta del Río Paraná (Tigre, Buenos Aires, Argentina). They were developed in the context of a conflict socio-environmental generated by the advance of real estate, together between the Junqueros Cooperativa Isla Esperanza; and the Delta Wetland Observatory, in which The science didactics group participates (GDC, IFLYSIB, CONICER-UNLP). In the last 15 years, the path traveled by the GDC, together with teachers and social organizations, places us within the critical currents of the field of Education in Natural, Environmental and Health Education (ECNAS). In that framework we question the colonialist claim of superiority of scientific knowledge against other knowledge, without denying its social importance. Therefore, we develop training proposals, through processes of knowledge dialogue, living and feelings, and through the constitution of intersectoral, intergenerational, inter -ethnic and intergenos groups for decision making. From there we try to contribute to the construction of decolonizing pedagogies and the environmental conflict, based on transdisciplinarity, critical and widespread interculturality, and nourished by the links and experiences generated in encounters between those who weave from diverse spaces for life care.
Cognition and perception of professional public employees on their work in the Executive Power of the Province of Chaco
Authors: Marenco Cristian Oscar
Published: May 2023

With the voluntary retirement proposal carried out in 2019 in the province of Chaco, it is observed that 48 % of employees who hosted them were from the professional category.
In this sense, the existence of a conflict with professionals from different disciplinary fields of their work in the State can be determined. One of the issues to investigate is how the cognition and perception of workers regarding their work in the State play when determining their voluntary separation from it. Following Chiavenato (2009: 215), cognition is the personal filter to see and perceive the world; It is the acquisition of knowledge on which personal beliefs and opinions are based on oneself and external reality. Cognition plays when perceiving reality, partial and personal construction.
In this way, the work seeks, from a series of data taken through a survey of professionals in 2019, to determine some cognitive features of professional public employees on how they consider their work in the organization and how these traits condition their behaviors.

In a context of growing environmental pollution caused by the implementation of extractivist logics in agribusiness, with more than 20 years of use of the technological package in Argentina (Amaya Guerrero, 2016), the multisectoral against agribusiness - 41 defined in 2016 MAPO OF FUMIGATED PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF THE PROVINCE OF BUENOS AIRES.
At first it was the same multisectoral that established criteria, through the debate based on the reading of different investigations on the drift of powdered agrotoxics, to identify what a fumigated school is.
Then, under the methodology of workshops, collective mapping were held in different parties, to which we were added together with environmental assemblies, unions, social organizations, teachers, students and neighbors, according to each territory, thus conforming equipment where they were promoted/ They promote instances of co-formation, exchange and socialization of the problem.
In turn, we integrate this practice into an extension project based in UNLU (environmental epistemic networks research program), which today is part of the extension team in socio -environmental conflicts for social transformation. Our contributions aimed to collaborate with the systematization of what has been worked in in each district, in order to generate elements for the fight against agribusiness, making available all the possible resources given by insertion into the public university.
Our internal debates about Inter and Transdiscipina resonated in all the organizations and people participating in the mapping, where we discuss from the different approaches and previous formations, collectively building knowledge, then reflected in public reports that expose elements for an environmental diagnosis and They have contributed to the popular organization in various forms.
Occupational health, gender and interdiscipline: the study of the work process in a group of associative entrepreneurs of the popular economy
Authors: Guglialmelli Máxima
Published: May 2023

Occupational health has been traditionally addressed since the business approach in central countries with classic employment modalities. This approach leaves the recent changes in the world of work outside, where more and more workers turn to self -management and collective organization. These workers include those women who are excluded from the labor market and turn to non -classical work modalities (De la Garza Toledo, 2009). These productive experiences are exposed to a higher level of precariousness, the deregulation of labor links and a process of intensification of the workday that leads workers to face wear processes and greater nonsense about their health and conditions of work.
This presentation seeks to account for the challenges that were presented when analyzing the work process and occupational health in a group of associative entrepreneurs in Moreno. Our general objective is to analyze the working conditions and occupational health of a group of textile associative entrepreneurs. To do this, we identify the main characteristics of the work process of Morenenses textile associative entrepreneurs, as well as their working conditions. Our research started from a qualitative methodology where 22 in -depth interviews were conducted with associative entrepreneurs, 11 interviews with key informants and participating observation in fairs and workplaces. Among our findings, we find that as a consequence of a heterogeneous and precarious work process, the entrepreneurs are exposed to greater instability and labor insecurity. In turn, as a result of the superposition of the productive and reproductive areas of their work process they are exposed to a double and even triple workday.
Mathematics and Mathematics: in the media between the arts and sciences
Authors: Segura Enrique Carlos
Published: May 2023

The question about interaction and possible dialogue between science and arts gradually appears in the history of Western thought as those who practice trades whose associated knowledge are found in what we could call the border between both territories, they become aware, in Some cases, of the most technological-instrumental character of the objectives of its discipline and, in others, of its sense more related to emotional or "spiritual" aspects of human life.
Without pointing to an archeology of such (s) historical process (s), the purpose of this article or presentation is to focus a territory of human intellectual activity that, in my opinion, occupies a very particular position in the sense of lend to that double consideration as science and as art, that is, as guided by techno-instrumental purposes and/or, depending on the cases, for aesthetic order aspirations. I am referring to mathematics.
I will try to show by examples taken from history, how in many cases transcendental contributions in this discipline entailed palmarias samples of being guided by criteria of beauty or sense of aesthetic harmony that transcended the requirements of logical or epistemological rigor.
In addition, I will mention that the reverse situation is not uncommon: artists looking for beauty or aesthetic harmony in mathematical models or even computational logical resources to inspire or guide their productions.
Construction of environmental knowledge through the development and use of free technologies for participatory environmental survey in wetland areas: a process of dialogic articulation between universities, schools, teacher training institutes and social organizations
Authors: Poveda Ducón Kevin , Iribarren Luciano , Boron Ignacio , Dumrauf Ana

Within the framework of the deep environmental, economic, political, social, cultural and ideological crises, collected by different authors under the concept of civilizational crisis, Latin America's social communities and organizations resist the accumulation regime by dispossession, characteristic of the current economic model Global. The ecological and social deterioration that this model produces, epistemologically questions our knowledge of the world. In the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, the progress of the industrial agriculture model represents a serious environmental conflict, which puts into play the sustainability of human and non -human life. Degraded wetland systems of great ecological and cultural importance. However, local studies about this impact are scarce. The techniques used for their determination require specific knowledge and equipment generally inaccessible to communities. We present here the preliminary analysis of a project in progress that promotes teacher training and the construction of environmental knowledge through the use of free development technologies for the realization of participatory environmental surveys in wetland areas. It worked in the Saladillo party from a participatory research methodology together with a teacher training and a secondary level technical school, such as deepening a previous and continuous work. It is reflected from a pedagogical-didactic perspective about the contribution of free technologies for environmental education. Instances of environmental rationality and environmental knowledge are analyzed that contribute to the understanding and transformation of the society-environment-nature relationship, from a dialogic process between academic and popular knowledge, which combine the practical with the theoretical through lines of thought Critic with an approach based on popular education.

The training proposal invites us to work from a perspective located in the local context that promotes active participation, critical reflection, the design and development of proposals that allow to know, understand and eventually face the environmental crisis from the province of La Pampa, expanding and complexing the perspective of the environmental from conflicts and power relations. The course, of a four -month period, develops virtually, with synchronous and asynchronous work spaces. It is expected to reach a total of 450 studies along three cohorts. The study that we present here is concentrated in two aspects: on the one hand, in the work experience of training teachers in pedagogical couples including a professional in the area of ​​natural sciences and another of social sciences. The formation of the group, the institutional framework, the elaboration of didactic agreements, and the forms of adoption of common approaches for the approach of socio -environmental problems/conflicts are analyzed. On the other hand, it is considered the articulation process carried out by the students, from different specialties, in the development of a didactic project that addresses a local problem or conflict, attending to their contextualization and institutional framework, analyzing issues such as : What aspects facilitate or hinder the development of these projects? How is the transversality of integral environmental education addressed? How do the specialty's own approaches relate?

Aufsichtsratsmitglieder als Whistleblower
Authors: Körner Leo
Published: May 2023

In German company law, the duty of confidentiality of supervisory board members is established as a basic principle and has been continuously tightened by the legislator. A violation is a criminal offence. At the same time, members of supervisory boards are now also to fall within the scope of the European Whistleblower Protection Directive. This thesis balances the conflicting interests of the whistleblower's right and the duty of confidentiality in a way that is in line with the interests of the parties concerned by elaborating and implementing the intention of the Directive's legislator, interpreting the Directive and comparing it with the applicable law.
Generation Y – die „neuen" Väter?
Authors: Schmidt Cynthia
Published: May 2023

Generation Y is not exactly revolutionising the labour market with the best reputation. This generation does not submit to office slavery and is not prepared to make concessions with regard to the compatibility of family and career. A new species of fathers also seems to have developed among this generation. The new father no longer wants to be just the breadwinner. He sees himself as a participating father, wants an emotional bond with his child and no longer just to spend quality time with his child on Sundays. The desire is great, but it is clear that the implementation is clearly lacking. Obstacles and necessary adjustments can be found not least among mothers, politicians and employers.
Biodiversity of the Genus Medicago from Africa
Authors: Badri Mounawer , Ludidi Ndiko
Published: May 2023

The genus Medicago has its primary center of diversity in the Caucasus, northwestern Iran and northeastern Turkey. It occurs widely in Africa, where it constitutes a rich and diversified heritage. In addition to their ecological importance, Medicago species are an important source of feed for livestock. These species show significant diversity in genetic composition, symbiotic interactions, and tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses. At the morphological level, some species show a high diversity of biomass and flowering precocity. Characterization using molecular markers (isoenzymes, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), single sequence repeats (SSR), etc.) shows significant variation within and among different populations. The differentiation of populations based on phenotypic traits and molecular markers emphasizes a role of the site of origin as the basis of natural selection. Furthermore, a broader-to-narrow symbiotic specificity is demonstrated, where some species are nodulated by both species of Ensifer meliloti and E. medicae while others are nodulated only by E. medicae or by a restricted group of E. meliloti. Different Medicago species show diverse levels of tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, which enable selection of lines displaying good agronomic performance. This review summarizes the current status of the characterization of the Medicago species in Africa and their use in breeding programs.

Published: May 2023

This chapter frames the struggles of decolonizing knowledge through the Afrocentric epistemological discourses in an African university. The chapter holds that such struggles are rooted in African scholars’ quest to transform the university into an African university underpinned by African experiences, values, and cultures. Considering the dominance of the Western knowledge systems and philosophies in the academic space, the decolonization of knowledge demands radical and decolonized leadership informed by African histories, cultures, ideas, and aspirations. The chapter argues that leadership and governance for the advancement of decolonized African university will remain incomplete unless African scholars take it upon themselves to critically engage with discourses that dislocate hegemonic systems of knowledge production and dissemination for African development. Fundamental to the process of dismantling the dominance of Western knowledge systems in academia and society at large, African scholars are urged to offer an alternative system based on African systems and traditions. For such discourses to liberate the African university from knowledge bondage imposed by the West, African scholars are tasked to provide intellectual and pragmatic leadership to benefit the development of African knowledge systems. For this chapter, the authors make use a desktop systematic review of literature on Afrocentrism and leadership in higher education.

This study compared the accuracy and limits of Lamendin’s age estimation method to age estimation by subset regression analysis in a sample of Nigerian population. The research was a cross-sectional study involving 81 single-rooted teeth obtained from 45 females and 36 males between ages 20 and 90 years. Extracted teeth samples were disinfected and stored, and directly measured using a digital vernier caliper on a 16 W X-ray box. Periodontosis (P) and Translucency (T) were derived using standard formulae from the root height (RH), translucency height (TH), and periodontal height (PH). Data were managed in an excel spreadsheet, then analyzed (stratified by sex) using Lamendin’s equation (Age = 0.18P + 0.42 T + 25.53) in SPSS (IBM® version 23, Armonk, USA) and Minitab® 2017 (version 18.1) best subset regression for males (Age = 6.23TH + 0.113P + 7.7) and females (Age = 14.90PH + 0.330 T − 2.12). Chi-square analysis tested the distributional deviations from actual age (using error ranges). From the analysis, 33.3% of the total population (M: 30.0% and F: 35.6%) were predicted within the suggested limit compared to 61.7% (M: 75.0% and F: 51.0%) for the best subset model. The distributional errors difference in both methods was not significant for males (χ2[df = 3] = 1.810, P = 0.405), females (χ2[df = 3] = 1.275, P = 0.528), and total samples (χ2[df = 3] = 4.960, P = 0.084). Lamendin’s formula did not provide accurate age estimates for a large proportion of sample population. More accurate estimates were limited to age ranged between 30 and 70 years. The study recommended that further studies using a larger sample be conducted to validate the findings of this study.

Nowadays, three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has been used for rapid prototyping of high quality printed objects. This technology has taken a special place in the field of medicine, and today this technology plays an important role, especially in the field of radiotherapy. Radiotherapy is a main option for treating and management of various types of cancers. Personalized radiotherapy requires precise details. For this reason, it is very important to carry out the exact treatment design at the clinical. 3D printing technology is considered a promising method that can be effective in the treatment of each person in a specific way and as a complementary and promising method to help in integrated treatment and special equipment for each patient. In this chapter, various applications of this technology in radiation therapy have been discussed. This narrative review summarizes the applications of 3D printing technology to develop patient-specific bolus, brachytherapy applicators, phantoms, filters, immobilization and grid therapy devices for more personalized radiation treatment.
Recent Development in Antioxidant of Milk and Its Products

Published: May 2023

Free radicals are produced in humans through natural metabolism or the external environment, such as diet. These free radicals are neutralized by the antioxidant system, whereas enzymes, for example, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase, play an important role in preventing excessive free radicals. Food antioxidants give a good hand in enhancing the human antioxidant system; high consumption of a diet rich in natural antioxidants protects against the risk of diseases such as cardiovascular, cancer, diabetes, and obesity. Milk and its products are popular for a wide range of consumers. Milk contains casein, whey protein, lactoferrin, milk lipid and phospholipids, vitamins, and microelements, for example, selenium (Se), which have antioxidant properties. Furthermore, probiotication of milk either sweet or fermented could enhance the antioxidant capacity of milk. This chapter focuses on presenting recent review data on milk components with antioxidant activity and their health benefits, probiotics as antioxidant agents, and methods for enhancing the antioxidant capacity of dairy products. The key aim of this chapter is to focus on major strategies for enhancing the antioxidant capacity of milk and its products.
Bridging Vectors of Dengue Fever: The Endless Cycle
Authors: Mfum Owusu-Asenso Christopher
Published: May 2023

Within the past 10 years, there has been a resurgence of arboviral disease outbreaks within the sub-Saharan region of Africa due to the geographic expansion of both the mosquito vectors and their resistance to insecticides. The reasons for this resurgence are not well understood, migration of people, movement of disease vectors, and deforestation as a result of rapid and unplanned urbanization may lead to increased erosion of their natural habitats leading to contact with humans, and/or previously obligate sylvatic species might acclimatize to new urban environments and hosts, potentially with a greater role as vectors. And lack of effective control methods for Aedes mosquitoes. The possibility of arboviruses to adapt to new vectors rapidly occur, and this can have great significant consequences. Other Aedes species such as Aedes africanus and Ae. luteocephalus. play a vital role in the transmission of arboviruses in Africa because they are involved in sylvatic arbovirus transmission cycles and can also act as a bridge vector to humans. Bridge vectors may initiate a human outbreak, but large epidemics typically occur only when virus transmission involves urban populations of Ae. aegypti or Ae. albopictus, which has the ability to feed on both humans and other vertebrates.

Reimagining Corporate Social Responsibility in the Idea of University Education as the Public Good
Authors: Valile M. Dwayi Valindawo
Published: May 2023

Corporate social responsibility (CSR), as the concept of both practice and research, is still generally understood and explained in narrow political lenses, basically due to the economic and instrumentalist rationality. Such rationality tends to result into more reproductive outcomes about the social conditions than what ought to be transformative. As such, not much is researched and documented about CSR in what could be alternative practical explanations beyond the taken-for-granted orientations. Toward closing this seeming research gap in the theory-practice nexus, the institutional research about which this article is reporting has examined the dialectical relationship of CSR with the idea of university education as the public good. The study entailed the content analysis of the institutional records in one case of university education in South Africa. The history of the university and the relations that the university has with its community were complex enough to make a single case study about the value of corporate social responsibility and the idea of the public and common good (CSR for UE-PG). The main finding of the research is that the university is grappling with her history, which constrains her from transcending into new heights about CSR for UE-PG, despite the commitments to do so!

Published: May 2023

Extremophiles are one of the most extreme entity on planet earth which can withstand many harsh conditions considered lethal for other life form of terrestrial life. From an evolutionary prospective, extremophiles are considered to be primitive cells that used to live in the early earths harsh environment living on this planet since billions of years, it can be found in almost in any environmental conditions on our planet. There are many established valuable uses of these extremophiles and particularly their bioactive compounds. The enzymes produced by extremophiles have significant applications in different industries like detergent, food, feed, starch, textile, leather, pulp and paper, and pharmaceuticals This chapter discuss extremophile, their survival mechanism and astrobiology, discussing life in a cosmic prospective.
