Published: August 2023

AbstractAlmost every rainy season, areas that are near watershed areas or watersheds. The area along the river has an important role in contributing and has a very high level of urgency to the occurrence of floods. Floods that often come suddenly cause huge losses, so people cannot be prepared to face flood disasters. So far the information system that has been built has been widely applied, but it has not maximally reduced the losses. To solve this problem, it is necessary to have a model or concept of a watershed monitoring information system that is fast and easily accessible online through a web application. In addition to some of the above, the concept of a communication system between the device point (node) to the center (server) along the river flow is made wirelessly using the ZigBee protocol. The results of the study are a wireless network based water level monitoring system that can be used as a basis for the next level of research.

AbstractFor Muslims, there is an obligation to read, understand, and practice the contents of the Qur'an. But in order to practice and understand the contents of the Koran, you must first be able to read and recognize the hijaiyah letters. To introduce hijaiyah letters to children, it is necessary to use an effective and fun method, which is intended so that children do not experience boredom and stay focused on what is being taught. The case study in the research object was carried out in Babatan village in Katibung District, where the hijaiyah letter recognition method still uses conventional methods, namely using a guidebook called IQRA, besides teaching and learning activities at TPQ are also constrained by rainy weather and holidays that result in learning activities teaching at TPQ will be closed. Based on the description of these problems and increasingly sophisticated technological advances, the researcher proposes to make a game application in the form of educational animation that can make it easier for children in hijaiyah letter recognition patterns, especially ages 3-10 years. The results of this study are the hijaiyah letter recognition educational game application system has been running in accordance with the initial objectives of the study where, the application is able to know and understand the form of letters, distinguish letter forms, how to read letters and sounds of Hijaiyah letters properly and correctly and with the Recognizing Letter Game. The Hijaiyah system is able to attract children's interest in learning at TPQ Al-Muhajirin Babatan Village, Kec. Katibung.

Published: August 2023

Mencari tempat parkir sungguh memakan waktu dan biasanya lebih menimbulkan kemacetan dan polusi udara yang diakibatkan kendaraan berada pada posisi tertentu dalam waktu lama hanya untuk mencari tempat parkir yang kosong. Saat ini di beberapa pusat perbelanjaan di kota besar di Indonesia sudah menyediakan sistem parkir yang memberikan informasi kepada pengendara mengenai jumlah tempat parkir yang tersedia atau tempat parkir sudah penuh. Walau demikian sistem parkir ini masih memiliki kekurangan yaitu pengendara tidak mengetahui secara spesifik dimana akan parkir. Dalam penelitian ini dikembangkan sistem parkir yang dapat membantu pengendara menemukan tempat parkir. Informasi tempat parkir terdekat dengan pintu masuk bangunan akan tertera pada tiket saat pengendara menekan tombol tiket di pintu masuk. Pada tiket tersebut tertera blok dan nomor slot parkir yang disarankan. Sebelum pintu masuk akan disediakan tampilan LCD sebagai monitor yang memberikan informasi jumlah lokasi parkir yang tersedia. Dalam pembuatan alat simulator sistem monitoring ketersedian tempat parkir yaitu dengan menyiapkan Arduino Uno, Servo dan sensor IR Obstacle. Pada simulator ini akan menghitung jika kendaraan masuk melalui pintu masuk dan akan berkurang jika kendaraan melewati pintu keluar. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian yang dilakukan terhadap sistem menunjukan bahwa aplikasi telah berjalan dengan baik dan sesuai dengan apa yang diharapkan.

Drug-Induced Rhabdomyolysis Secondary To Lenalidomide
Authors: Rathore Himanshu , Singh Sananjay
Published: August 2023

Abstract

Lenalidomide is an immunomodulator imide compound that works through its antitumor, anti-angiogenic, and anti-osteoclastogenic effects. It is increasingly used for a multitude of inflammatory disorders and cancers. Diarrhea, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and blood clots are well-established severe side effects of Lenalidomide, but rhabdomyolysis is a rare side effect of the drug. It is difficult to reach this diagnosis because it needs a detailed history of the evolution of symptoms and carefully ruling out other etiologies, especially other drugs. Here we present the case of a 75-year-old female who developed rhabdomyolysis and, subsequently, acute kidney injury after receiving Lenalidomide therapy for multiple myeloma. Discontinuation of the diuretics and the use of isotonic fluids led to a gradual improvement in her condition. Physicians should be aware of this potential rare complication and keep it on the differential when treating patients on Lenalidomide.

Published: August 2023

Introduction:

Music therapy has been claimed to be a useful aid in physical discomfort especially in the younger generation by improving physiological parameters and improving mental health.

Materials and methods:

The stress levels and the physiological effects of music on 88 healthy students of both genders in our medical college were assessed. Information related to demographics and their usage of music were collected along with their responses on the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) Questionnaire. The physiological parameters were measured before, during and immediately after listening to music of their choice for 15 minutes. All collected data was analysed by SPSS 25 software.

Results and discussion:

All the parameters pertaining to the respiratory system and cardiovascular system improved after listening to music. The decrease in respiratory rate and diastolic blood pressure was significant (p<0.05). VRT improved significantly (p<0.05) when done while listening to music especially in students with moderate levels of stress.

Conclusion:

Our study underlined the beneficial effects of music in reducing stress and improving performance in students and should be advocated as an effective and easy method of stress relief.
Differences of relationships between iodine and some chemical elements in normal thyroid and thyroid benign nodules revealed by short-term neutron activation
Authors: Zaichick Vladimir
Published: August 2023

Thyroid benign nodules (TBN) are the most common lesions of this endocrine gland. The etiology of TBN is not clear. The aim of this exploratory study was to examine differences in the content of of bromine (Br), calcium (Ca), chlorine (Cl), iodine (I), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), and sodium (Na), as well as I/Br, I/Ca, I/Cl, I/K, I/Mg, I/Mn, and I/Na content ratios in tissues of normal thyroid and TBN. Thyroid tissue levels of eight chemical elements (ChEs) were prospectively evaluated in 105 apparently healthy persons and in 79 patients with TBN. Measurements were performed using non-destructive instrumental neutron activation analysis with high resolution spectrometry of gamma-radiations from activated short-lived radionuclides. Tissue samples were divided into two portions. One was used for morphological study while the other was intended for ChEs analysis. It was observed that in TBN the Br, Cl, Mn, and Na mass fraction, as well as the I/Br, I/Cl, I/Mn, and I/Na mass fraction ratios were higher whereas mass fractions of Ca and I and also I/K mass fraction ratio were lower than in normal thyroid. These changes can potentially be used as TBN markers. Furthermore, it was found that the levels of Br, Ca, Cl, K, Mg, Mn, and Na contents in the normal and affected thyroid gland were interconnected and depend on the content of I in thyroid tissue. Because I plays a decisive role in the function of the thyroid gland, the data obtained allow us to conclude that, along with I, such ChEs as Br, Ca, Cl, K, Mg, Mn, and Na, if not directly, then indirectly, are involved in the process of thyroid hormone synthesis.

Authors: Afiadigwe Evaristus , OKEZIE Dr. Godwin , Ekejindu Prof. Ifeoma
Published: August 2023

Background: Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a common cause of hearing loss with the attendant poor academic performance and low productivity in workplaces.
Objectives: This study investigated the microbial aetiology and associated virulence mechanisms of CSOM in a Nigerian tertiary hospital.
 Methods: This was a prospective study of 52 patients diagnosed with CSOM in either one or both ears who had not taken any antibiotics for at least the last seven (7) days. Ear swabs were taken by an otolaryngologist and sent to the Microbiology Department for processing. The specimens were cultured within 30 min of collection and the isolates identified using standard microbiological techniques. Selected virulence properties were characterised.
Results: The most common organism isolated was Staphylococcus aureus 18 (34.6%) followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa 14 (26.9%). Fungal isolates were recovered from 6 11.5%) of specimens; in 11 (21.15%) of cases no microbe was detected. Age did not significantly affect incidence of CSOM of microbial origin (p = 0.1742) although most cases were in the age 31-40 years group. Male and female patients were almost equally affected (M: F = 1:1.08), DNase followed by biofilm formation were the predominant virulence phenotypes identified while coagulase, followed by haemolysin production, were least common.
 Conclusion: Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were the most common organisms among CSOM cases and recovered from all age-groups. Early detection and infection control are key to reducing incidence of CSOM.

Published: August 2023

Seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff are chronic skin diseases that belong to the same category. Seborrheic dermatitis is characterized by skin erythema or plaques with varying degrees of itching and scaling, which is usually a response to Malassezia species, and tends to occur in areas with strong sebaceous glands, such as the scalp, face, chest, back, armpits, and groin, caused by Bacillus dandruff breaking down skin oils to produce an inflammatory response. Dandruff is a relatively mild form of seborrheic dermatitis characterized by mild scaling of the scalp without an accompanying inflammatory response.

Published: August 2023

The use of products of microbial origin, bacteria, for agriculture has grown exponentially in the world, and in Brazil this growth is significant. In recent years, several companies have settled in the country and started to develop different products in this segment. The producer has the possibility of multiplying bacteria on the farms themselves in a process called on farm, a homemade way of multiplying bacteria. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of the mixtures produced through the on farm method of multiplication of microorganisms from inoculants based on Azospirillum with different culture media. For this, three culture media were used: commercial product Multibacter®, yeast syrup plus sugar and yeast syrup, which were subsequently quantified. The syrups were produced in the on farm system, the sterilization of the place of packaging and allocation of the bioreactors was carried out, the samples of the syrups were diluted for incubation and the preparation of the TSA (Trypticasein Soy Agar) also took place. It was possible to conclude that the non-sterile culture media do not present satisfactory results for the multiplication of on farm microorganisms with Azospirillum syrups. Colony forming units are not parameters to indicate viability for non-sterile culture media.

»Reduplikative Identität«
Authors: Frank Manfred
Published: August 2023

Nie ist genau erklärt worden, was Schelling unter »Identität von Natur und Geist« verstand. Dabei hat er sein reifes Denken »Identitätssystem« genannt und sich zeitlebens um kein zweites Problem begrifflich ähnliche Mühe gegeben. Da er aber seine Überlegungen in Schriften verpackte, deren großer systematischer Ausgriff sie schier erdrückte, ist, was er bis hinein in die ›Weltalter‹-Periode darüber herausfand, kaum eigens gewürdigt oder auch nur klar benannt worden. Die Schellingliteratur arbeitete entweder historisch oder ließ sich vom Systemgedanken oder einzelnen in die Augen springenden Problemen blenden (z. B. Natur, Organismus, Freiheit, Existenz). Dabei ist Schellings Stärke in einzelnen entscheidenden Argumenten versteckt, die, wären sie bekannt, die gegenwärtige, auch analytische Diskussion durchaus zu inspirieren vermöchten. Wir können heute urteilen, dass schon der junge Schelling in seiner Schrift ›Form der Philosophie‹ eine differenzsensitive Form der Identität im Sinn hatte, die er in den kommenden Jahrzehnten immer genauer auszubuchstabieren unternahm. Seine eigentlichen Quellen hat er kunstvoll verborgen. Es sind erstens die Identitätstheorie der Prädikation seines Universitätslehrers Ploucquet, die den Stiftlern in Tübingen eingebläut wurde und die ihre merkwürdige Fixierung auf die ganz unkantische Auffassung vom Urteil als Subjekt-Prädikat-Identifikation (mit quantifiziertem Prädikator) erklärt. Und zweitens Schellings Entdeckung einer »älteren Logik«, die mit der Figur der »reduplicatio« arbeitete. – So auch das Absolute: Als Geist ist es nicht Natur (und umgekehrt; Aussagen über beide haben unterschiedliche Wahrheitsbedingungen), aber Geist und Natur werden beide vom Absoluten »gewesen« (»transitiv« ins Sein gehoben), und dies Absolute ist im striktest denkbaren Sinne mit sich identisch. So lässt sich die Schelling’sche Formel von der Identität der Identität und Differenz dem gesunden Menschenverstand vermitteln und Schellings »aufrichtiger Jugendgedanke« (Marx) aktualisieren. Er schneidet respektabel ab im Wettbewerb mit allerlei heutigen Leib-Seele-Identitätstheorien.
Prolegomena zu den spätantiken Konstitutionen
Authors: Riedlberger Peter
Published: August 2023

Forscher zum »Codex Theodosianus«, einer Exzerptensammlung römischer Kaisergesetze, machen zwangsläufig Annahmen: Wie sehr wurde beim Exzerpierungsprozess modifiziert? Darf man davon ausgehen, dass die meisten jeweils einschlägigen Gesetze dargeboten sind? Nach welchen Kriterien erfolgte die Auswahl? Galten Gesetze nur für den Reichsteil des erlassenden Kaisers? Oder gar nur für den Amtsbereich des Empfängers? Riedlberger prüft eine neuartige, umfassende und vor allem in sich konsistente Vision der spätantiken Gesetzgebung anhand eines Exempels – der ungewöhnlichen erbrechtlichen Sanktionen – durch. Denn die formulierten Prinzipien müssen den praktischen Test aushalten; umgekehrt kann eine Besprechung von CTh-Fragmenten ohne Grundlegung schnell zu Missverständnissen und Anachronismen führen.
In Vitro and In Vivo Synergistic Antibacterial Functions of the Recombinant Ib-AMP4 and E50-52 Antimicrobial Peptides against Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii
Authors: Satei Parastu , Fahimirad Shohreh , Ghaznavi-Rad Ehsanollah , Abtahi Hamid
Published: August 2023

Background: Most Acinetobacter baumannii species have become resistant to all common antibiotics. Many antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been identified with efficient functions in infection management. E50-52 (UniProtKB: P85148) and Ib-AMP4 (UniProtKB: O24006) AMPs have shown marked antibacterial functions. Objectives: This investigation was designed to produce E50-52 and Ib-AMP4 AMPs through recombinant protein production. Subsequently, the synergistic antimicrobial functions of these two peptides were assessed under in vitro and in vivo circumstances on multidrug-resistant A. baumannii to investigate the antimicrobial effects of Ib-AMP4 and E50-52 AMPs on drug-resistant Acinetobacter. Methods: The gene sequence of E50-52 and Ib-AMP4 AMPs were codon optimized and separately inserted into the pET-32α vector. The recombinant structures were expressed in host bacteria. The antibacterial functions of the individual and combined application of the purified refolded E50-52 and Ib-AMP4 AMPs against multidrug-resistant A. baumannii were evaluated through the time-kill, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), growth kinetic assays, and in vivo (mouse body) systemic infection. Results: The minimum concentrations of the produced refolded E50-52 and Ib-AMP4 AMPs against A. baumannii were 0.325 and 0.0625 mg/mL, respectively. Moreover, the checkerboard procedure confirmed the synergic effects of the produced AMPs. The use of E50-52 and Ib-AMP4 AMPs in combination resulted in an over five times reduction in log10 CFU/mL of alive cells during the first 240-min exposure. The antibacterial efficiency of the produced AMPs was confirmed by growth kinetic assays, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results, and in vivo evaluation tests. The in vivo assay on rats confirmed the significant antibacterial functions of the produced recombinant proteins on A. baumannii systemic infection. Conclusions: The results proved the considerable synergistic antibacterial functions of the produced recombinant Ib-AMP4 and E50-52 AMPs to treat A. baumannii systemic infection effectively.

Published: August 2023

Background: One of the important causes of neonatal mortality and morbidity is preterm birth. There is little evidence about the role of garlic in preventing preterm labor. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the role of garlic tablets in preventing premature birth. Methods: This is a double-blind clinical trial. Five hundred and thirty-seven singleton pregnant women in the 16th to 26th week of pregnancy with a history of threatened preterm delivery (delivery before the 37th week of pregnancy) were included in this study. The participants were randomly divided into intervention (n = 272) and control groups (n = 265). The intervention group received garlic tablets (500 mg/day) every 24 hours for 10 weeks and 250 mg intramuscular progesterone every week until 36 weeks or delivery time. The control group received placebo tablets plus 250 mg intramuscular progesterone (every week until 36 weeks). The primary outcome was the incidence of Preterm delivery (gestational age < 37 weeks). Quantitative variables were expressed as frequency and percentage and compared using the chi-square or Fisher exact test with a small sample size. Numerical data were presented as mean and standard deviation. We used the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to determine the normality of the data distribution. After that, the relationships of continuous variables with normal distribution were investigated using the independent t student test, and continuous variables without normal distribution were investigated with the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test. Multivariate logistic regression analysis estimated different variables' interaction and confounding effects. Results: Four hundred and forty-five had term delivery (82.9%), and 92 (17.1%) had preterm delivery. Seventeen participants in the intervention group (6.3%) and 75 (28.3%) in the control group had preterm delivery (P < 0.001). By considering preterm labor as dependent and other independent variables, the study group (intervention or control) was the only predictor of preterm labor (OR-3.6, CI: 95%: 1.98 - 6.5, P < 0.001). Conclusions: The results showed that the combined treatment of oral garlic tablets and intramuscular progesterone significantly prolonged pregnancy or improved outcomes. Garlic tablets seem to be effective in preventing preterm birth.

Telehealth Practice Policies need to be Strengthened to Achieve Better Quality and Accessibility of Care in the Post COVID-19 Pandemic: A Rapid Review
Authors: Dwi Raharjo Untoro , Riningtyas Ristiana Eka , Rosyad Yafi Sabila
Published: August 2023

Digital health services in healthcare facilities have been escalated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Telehealth has become one of the fastest adopted information and communication technologies (ICT) and is projected as a future solution to provide better healthcare services. In Indonesia, the implementation of telehealth had been initiated before the COVID-19 pandemic but did not explicitly mention specific healthcare professionals. This situation has led to unclear boundaries for telehealth practice among healthcare professionals while the implementation of telehealth is still encouraged. Therefore, our aim was to identify alternatives to strengthen the policies that support the implementation, quality, and accessibility of telehealth in Indonesia. We conducted a rapid review of articles related to telehealth implementation and policies that had been published on Portal Garuda, EBSCOHost, Pubmed, and Google Scholar. We also considered articles with an MMAT score >80 as eligible articles that could be included in the synthesis. Our findings have been crystallized into several ideas, one of which is that the implementation of telehealth must be supported by three aspects: organizational support, equity, and legal support. We recommend some alternatives such as training, policy and guideline strengthening, data security improvement, and funding to accelerate telehealth implementation in Indonesia. In conclusion, although some policies have been implemented to support telehealth in Indonesia after the COVID-19 pandemic, these policies are still weak in protecting other healthcare professionals' practice through telehealth, except for doctors. Specific guidelines and stronger policies are needed.

Isso influencia a produção de políticas públicas, ainda que fragilizadas pela descontinuidade e falta de institucionalidade e financiamento para a materialização do direito à educação, conforme determinação constitucional.
O universo metafórico em Paul Ricoeur: subsídios para o estudo do poema Martim Cererê
Authors: Coelho George Leonardo Seabra
Published: August 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar as possiblidades de pensar a obra literária como representação do passado. Para tanto, exploraremos o entrecruzamento da narrativa ficcional com a narrativa histórica a partir da leitura do poema Martim Cererê (1927), de Cassiano Ricardo, à luz da tese da “metáfora viva” de Paul Ricoeur. De modo mais específico, enfatizaremos como essa obra poética fez uso de metáforas na elaboração de representações literárias do passado brasileiro. Ao ser analisado a partir de seu uso para definir o seu desvio, esse poema narrou literariamente as ações humanas tornando-se uma narrativa histórica do passado brasileiro e, assim, Cassiano Ricardo uniu em seu discurso a poética e a história para representar o passado e narrar o tempo vivido. Nesse sentido, demonstraremos como as proposições de Paul Ricoeur nos auxiliaram no entendimento do entrecruzamento de história e de ficção presentes nesse poema modernista.

Las transiciones hacia la democracia entre el fin de los años 1970 e principios de los 1990 significó el fin de la ola de dictaduras militares y la creación de regímenes basados en la elección de los gobernantes por el pueblo en la mayoría de los países de América Latina. Pero esto no significa que la democracia sea “el único juego en la ciudad”, el na expresión de Juan Linz. En los últimos 30 años son muchos los casos en que los presidentes electos no completaran sus mandatos. Pero los golpes de Estado tradicionales fueran sustituidos por interpretaciones elásticas de las constituciones que permiten que la pérdida de confianza en el ejecutivo resulte en una intervención del legislativo o una intervención en este por el Presidente con apoyo de la población o de las fuerzas armadas. Esto es posible pues no alcanzamos dos de las tres condiciones necesarias a una democracia estable, de acuerdo con el mismo Linz: que las élites políticas no acepten soluciones fuera de las reglas democráticas para las disputas de poder y que la democracia tenga apoyo masivo de la población.
An Overview of Outcome Measures in Healthcare
Authors: ÖZAL Şeyda , KAFA Nihan , ATALAY GÜZEL Nevin
Published: August 2023

Consideration of indicators of an individual's perceptions and attitudes is valuable to reflect the impact of physical findings on quality of life. In this regard, practical outcome measures assist in concluding. Self-Reported Outcome Measures (SROMs) corroborate medical findings and allow for easy profiling (eliciting information about the patient's condition). Even if their frequent usage in clinical and scientific studies, there is confusion over taxonomy, terminology, and definitions of outcome measures. Sometimes, clinicians face some obscurity of the complexity of the features and concepts those measurements represent. This leads to misnaming or misidentification of measurement tools. Users also have difficulty choosing the right tool because of this confusion. This study aims to describe and standardize the terminology of outcome measures and to clarify the classifications with examples. Thus, we aimed to increase the knowledge and awareness of health professionals about the measurement tools, make them interrogate their qualities and features, and encourage them to choose more appropriate ones.
Russia, the conflict in Ukraine and the new spatial and geopolitical order
Authors: Pierre-Emmanuel Thomann
Published: August 2023

The conflict in Ukraine is the subject of contradictory narratives in the communication war, but also reflects the rival historical and geopolitical representations between the different actors of this conflict. According to the geopolitical angle, the main issue of the crisis in Ukraine is the rivalry between the great powers for world power and the distribution of geopolitical spaces. The geopolitical angle thus makes it possible to take into account the numerous stakes linked to this crisis on different scales, which go well beyond the purely geostrategic and military aspects. The main hypothesis of this article is to determine to what extent Russia, with its special military operation in Ukraine, is pushing for the emergence of a new geopolitical configuration on a European and global scale. Indeed, Moscow is provoking a redefinition of alliances at the regional and global levels. At the Eurasian level, NATO will probably no longer be able to pursue a policy of expansion in the Russian near abroad (countries of the former USSR), the enlargement of NATO to Ukraine being a casus belli, as the Russian intervention has shown. On a global scale, Russia's membership in the UN Security Council now prevents any unilateral interpretation of international law by the collective West. Moreover, economic sanctions by EU and NATO member states are not being followed by other states in Eurasia, South America and Africa, challenging the unipolar project of the West under the leadership of the United States. The European Union is increasingly aligned with the geopolitical priorities of NATO and the United States, with little room for manoeuvre. Russia's special operation in Ukraine is definitely moving the world towards a multicentric and multipolar geopolitical configuration, with no possibility of returning to the pre-conflict situation. In this analysis, geopolitical cartography will be used to illustrate the problematics but also to emphasize the spatial angle as an analytical tool.
The crisis of the West, Russia's resistance and war: Paradigmatic changes in the world
Authors: Perišić Srđan
Published: August 2023

The crisis of the West is perceived through the diminishing expansion of the postmodern paradigm to the non-Western parts of the world. The West entered the postmodern at the end of the 20th century, when liberalism remained alone in the political field, while the bipolar international order of the balance of power was destroyed. Liberal postmodernization of the world, initiated by globalization, was adamant. Postmodern liberalism imposed itself to the whole world as the only ideological matrix, whereas the global market and global corporations dictated the relations in the world. The Westphalian system of international relations, as one of the remaining modern categories implying the primacy of the sovereign state, began disappearing. However, the power of the hegemon USA as a military, political and ideological protector of globalization and postmodern, began dwindling in 2008 (a declining power). On the other hand, resistance emerged to the imposition of the postmodern. Russia was the first to adopt anti-liberal and anti-globalization laws (2013), which prompted the West to start a postmodern campaign against Russia. The USA and the West, faced with the increasing resistance, resort to geopolitical strategies from the period of the modern in order to preserve hegemony. Ukraine (as a postmodern creation in the mediation war against Russia) is geopolitically used against Russia). Russia opposes the postmodern West ideologically and geopolitically (by introducing spirituality and tradition in its public sphere) and it is geopolitically engaged in creating multipolarity and the balance of power. In this manner, Russia leaves the West. That creates a different paradigm, not only for Russia, but for the whole world. The paper considers the war a consequence and not a cause of the world crisis (which is also a consequence). The causes lie in the inability of the postmodern (in all its aspects) to impose itself onto the whole world.
Parental support strategies and motivation in aiding their children learn the English language
Authors: Chavez Jason V. , Adalia Haydee G. , Alberto Joebert P.

Learning a language starts within the comfort of a home. Parent involvement in English language teaching serves as a brilliant step towards promoting literacy and communication among children. English has been regarded as a global language which urges parents to guide their children to be inclined toward English. With that, the purpose of this study was to determine the parental support strategies and motivation of parents in teaching the English language. Specifically, this study was qualitative research that focused on collecting narratives and experiences from parents. Eight bilingual Filipino parents, constituted 4 housewives and 4 professionals, were interviewed in the study. The findings suggested that parents see English as an important language that can direct their children towards their career path. Parents were motivated by how the English language can shape the aspirations and enthusiasm of their children. Competency, applicability, reputation, and positivity were the major predictor of the motivation of parents in teaching the English language to their children. Bilingual parents in this study were aware of their role in the language development of their children. Nevertheless, dialogic reading, correction, and educational contents were some of the characteristics of strategies. This study established a missing component of the literature specifying the role of parental support and motivation in education and language teaching.
