In the current fluctuating market, it is very essential to select an optimal portfolio for an investor to minimize the risk and rather reap maximum benefits, from the available set of assets. A comparison between the various available assets is prima facie. A most commonly used modus operandi is the expected return-to-risk trade off as measured by the Sharpe Index Model. This study illustrates an analysis of four years’ asset value, from 2010 to 2015, of companies picked from FMCG & Pharmaceutical sectors. In this regard, Sharpe Index Model is used, which is regularly employed to assess the performance of mutual funds and portfolio strategies. This study aims at evaluating the portfolio performance, thereby bringing out the optimal combination of assets to be invested in afore said two sectors. It is done basically by ranking the picked assets based on excess return to beta ratio and then finding out the cut off point (Ci), thereby the optimal combination of the assets. Keywords: Portfolio, Sharpe index, Risk & Return
THE PROPERTY OF AN ADVANCED MANLINESS: A FEMININE FELLA IN THE DRAMA
Authors:   Assistant Professor of Social Studies, NIU, Noida, Solankhi Ruchi
Published: November 2022

Feminine Man in Indian English Theatre is the subject of this paper as a new location for gender politics. Society develops gender assumptions based on how men and women behave in a cultural environment. Many detractors argue that gender is a social construct, whereas sex is biology. Since the start of civilization, each epoch has had its own distinct vision of what it means to be a man. Masculinity in today's society is defined in a broad sense. Feminine Man is a result of today's masculinity. In modern Indian English theatre, the 'invisible' issue of gender identity is revealed. Mahesh Dattani's comedy Dance Like a Man is about masculinity. Jairaj Parekh, the protagonist of India's new age theatre, represents and emphasises this Feminine Man tendency, which is influenced by social circumstances in some way. Keywords: India, sociological phenomena, play, staging, protagonist
WORK VALUES AS A DETERMINANT FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH
Authors:   Doctorate of Philosophy California Baptist University, USA, Weniger Marc , Bigley Joel ,   Doctorate of Business Administration California Baptist University, USA
Published: November 2022

Aim of the Study: The findings in this study attempt to answer the question; Do work values predict economic growth? Methodology: World Values data was used to explore the aim of the study through multiple linear regression statistical analysis. Findings: The results indicate that work ethic does have a relatively evident relationship to economic growth and are significant predictors of GNI per capita and GDP per capita. These results indicated that work ethic changes as countries’ priorities change from having higher motivation to work in poorer economies to having lower motivation to work in wealthier economies. Managerial Implications: Leveraging the World Values Survey, this study shows that work priorities have shifted from working for material security/necessity in poorer economies to working for intrinsic needs in wealthier countries. This indicates an unusual non-generational shift in values indicating that employees can have large value shifts as wealth increases. Keywords: work ethics, work priorities, work values, economic growth, work motivation, priority shifting, GDP/GNI per capita JEL Classification: J11

Authors: Eviningrum Sulistya , Fronzoni Vasco
Published: November 2022

The development of narcotics convicts differs from the development of other criminal convicts. This research uses a normative-juridical approach by reviewing the laws and regulations relevant to the legal issues to be solved and discussing the ideal coaching model for victims of narcotics users in prisons today. From this research, it can be concluded that the coaching model for narcotics abuse victims must be oriented towards healing and recovery, either through medical institutions, hospitals, health centers, or social institutions. Thus giving birth to a model of handling that can be applied to victims of narcotics users.
Disharmonization of Supreme Court Regulations in Material Judicial Rights
Authors: Hidayat Taufik , Luthviati Resti Dian , Jenvitchuwong Suviwat
Published: November 2022

This study aims to analyze the problems with Supreme Court Regulation in Judicial Review resulting from inconsistencies in these rules, which impact the court's ability to enforce these regulations. This study is a normative legal analysis. The findings of this study indicate that the problem of discordant norms in judicial review is related to two factors, specifically discordant norms regarding the authority to examine formal matters. The discord of norms about the legal subject matter of the Petitioner for Review of Legislation under the Act results from differences in regulation of judicial review material aspect used as a criterion. This contradicts the original intent of the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia.
Reflections of Home in Nineteenth-Century American Travel Writing of Finland
Authors: Salenius Sirpa
Published: November 2022

In the nineteenth century, Americans generally knew very little about Finland, which functioned primarily as a transitory halt for a small number of American travelers crossing from Sweden to Russia proper. As Finland never became a fashionable destination, the number of visitors remained small and the amount of time spent there brief. This essay examines American travel guides and magazine articles about travel in Finland, then a Grand Duchy of Russia, to argue that the portrayal of this marginal nation confirmed the values, beliefs, and ideologies of their American authors. Hence, although these nineteenth-century American travel texts focus on Finland and its people, the texts tend to reveal the American idealization of such concepts as whiteness and masculinity, intelligence, religiousness, and cleanliness. In this way, the images that nineteenth-century American travel writers construct of Finland are charged with a reflection constructed of the writers’ own nation.
A Sense of Terijoki: The Discourse of Karelia in the Karelian Borderlands
Authors: Lähteenmäki Maria
Published: November 2022

Karelia, the borderland between Finland and Russia, has been a “land of quarrels” for centuries. The Swedish kingdom, the Novgorod realm, and the Russian Empire, one after another, have colonized the area. In 1812 the southwest part of Karelia, the Karelian Isthmus, was incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Finland. This incorporation was practical: for hundreds of years the area had already been a region of Finnish-speaking people. After Finland's declaration of independence (1917) and civil war (1918) and the birth of Soviet Russia (1917), political tensions sharpened in the Karelian Isthmus. In those days, the borderline between Finnish Terijoki and Russian St. Petersburg became the most important ideological barrier between revolutionary Russia and Finland, where the right-wing Whites had won the civil war and begun an unequalled campaign against the Bolshevist power. In 1939 and again in 1944, Soviet troops occupied the Karelian Isthmus, and the area ever since has been a part of the Soviet Union/Russia.
Towards a Better Life: Family Capital and Upward Social Mobility Among Finnish Forestry Employees in the Extended 1950s
Authors: Paaskoski Leena
Published: November 2022

The article focuses on the questions of the vocational choice, education, and occupation of forestry employees in post-WWII Finland. Extensive oral history material and biographical interviews with Finnish forestry officers and foresters illuminate the concepts of family capital and upward social mobility at the individual, everyday level. In Finland, occupations in forestry are often inherited. The sons of forestry employees profit from family capital as they become forestry employees themselves, and there are many so-called “forestry families” in Finland. Because the situation in Finland after the war strongly favored education, young men were encouraged to educate themselves in the hope of obtaining a better future, economically and socially, for themselves, and also to provide more skilled workers for the nation. The pursuit and acquisition of upward social mobility, occupational prestige, and higher socio-economic positions as compared to their fathers was typical for these forestry employees, as well as the whole of Finnish society in the extended 1950s. The article was written as part of a project called Happy Days? The Everyday Life and Nostalgia of the Extended 1950s, led by Professor Hanna Snellman of Jyväskylä University and Helsinki University and financed by the Academy of Finland.
“I Wish There Had Been a Little Bit More Finland”: Finnish Crime Novels in English Translation
Authors: Kaukonen Scott
Published: November 2022

Readers of Finnish crime novels in translation often seek more than just another good tale of cops and criminals—they're also seeking a taste of Finland and Finnish culture. So they tend to judge the book in two ways: as crime novels certainly, but also as literary tour guides to Finland. But the books that most appeal to readers as distinctly Finnish crime novels often suffer from the same faults as more traditional forms of tourism—self-conscious constructions that reduce Finland and Finnishness to a series of familiar tropes and artifacts, the literary equivalent of the dockside trinket shop, whereas books judged least successful as distinctly Finnish crime novels simply fail to accommodate for the literary tourist's preconceived notions of what Finland and Finnishness—and a Finnish crime novel—must be.
Lapland Dislocated: Jorma Puranen's Photography and Anthropology
Authors: Markowska Martyna
Published: November 2022

The photographic art of Jorma Puranen (1951–) depicts Lapland through the intersection of image and text. Over the course of his career, Puranen's publications have emerged as a consequence of his photographic projects. For instance, Imaginary Homecoming records a haunting trip to the indigenous past of Lapland and the Sami people, and has become one of Puranen's most recognized works. Lapland, as a geographical place, can be considered “dislocated” because of its specific lingual and ethnographic character. Spread across the territories of four nations without a single common language, Lapland remains one of the most unknown and scarcely described regions in the world. Puranen, working in the Nordic photographic tradition, has created several projects in which he analyzes the roots of Sami ethnicity. Moreover, the displacement of Lapland and the Sami people reflects other types of displacement present in Puranen's art. One type is the dislocation of images into the landscape, and another type, the displacement of images into text. This article examines these metaphors along with the artistic strategies applied by the artist. Three dichotomies are present in Puranen's albums and necessary to understand his project: art versus anthropology, nature versus cultural heritage, and photographs versus text. These three distinctions provide the starting point for this article, and, further, they provide theoretical framework for the examination.
“And Then All of the Sudden, You're Still Here with Bad Finnish”: American Women's Narratives of Cultural Adjustment in Finland
Authors: Clarke Kris
Published: November 2022

The enormous growth in the number of international female migrants reflects a tectonic shift in women's diverse positions in family structures and as wage earners. This qualitative study examines how sixteen American women narrate their cultural adjustment to Finnish society as longterm residents. It focuses on how individual women have dealt with the complexity of gendered and privileged migrant identities in an increasingly globalized Finland. Though arriving as citizens with higher-education degrees, most of the married women were not employed and did not feel that they had a place in Finnish society except via their husbands. Single women had short-term contracts and few plans to stay in Finland. The study suggests that married female immigrants from the United States tend to be gendered in Finland, despite an official policy of gender equality, because they have few prospects to step outside of the role of wife through employment or participation in the community.
International Degree Students’ Integration into the Finnish Higher Education and Labor Market
Authors: Korhonen Vesa
Published: November 2022

Highly educated immigrants are an important and conflicting question in the labor market in Finland. The Finnish labor market traditionally has been fairly closed, and even advanced degrees have not necessarily guaranteed job opportunities for immigrants corresponding to their qualifications from the countries of departure. This article examines how international degree students integrate into the academic community in Finland and into Finnish society. The results of the mixed-method study strengthen the idea that if one wants to understand international degree students’ integration more comprehensively, attention must be paid to all aspects of integration: cultural, social, academic, and career. There is a general satisfaction with Finnish higher education and its quality; however, the reserved social culture is considered as a primary reason for weaknesses in cultural or social integration. According to the students’ views, language barriers and a lack of social networks are the main obstacles. Hence, if other areas of international students’ integration can be improved, such as cultural, social, and academic, in higher education and beyond, this would also improve the international students’ possibilities for employment in the Finnish labor market.
The Making of the Finnish Working Class in Early Twentieth-Century Working-Class Literature
Authors: Launis Kati
Published: November 2022

Working-class literature was one of the cultural areas that defined social class in early twentieth-century Finland. As a starting point for this article, it stems from E. P. Thompson's key points: first, the working class was active in its own making, and, second, that class needs to be understood as a relationship between people. In the present article, I consider how the working class is represented and valued in poems, newspaper articles, labor-movement songs, novels, and political leaflets written by Kössi Kaatra, Hilja Pärssinen, and Esa Paavo-Kallio—three working-class writers in whose works we witness the various discourses on class as well as the different genres of working-class writing. As I will show here, the representations of the working class created by these writers are in conflict with the hegemonic discourses on class, and these representations are produced through processes that include gender and nationality.
Women in Early Capitalism and Other Irrelevant Issues: Elvira Willman's Struggle for Working-Class Authorship
Authors: Hyttinen Elsi
Published: November 2022

The article discusses the early Finnish working-class writer Elvira Willman (1875–1925). Through a reading of a recently found manuscript of the 1916 play “Rakkauden orjuus” [The slavery of love], the article demonstrates how in Willman's writing “the woman question” was one of the central themes in texts aimed at the working-class cultural field. Theoretically, the article promotes a view according to which an author does not become a working-class author by being born into a certain social class or living within it, but by signaling in various ways in her writing a desire to be interpreted as an author of working-class literature and by garnering affirmation from the gatekeepers of that field.
Cooking and Cookbooks in Nineteenth-Century Finland: Changes in Cooking Methods, Recipe Writing, and Food Textualization
Authors: Knuuttila Maarit
Published: November 2022

This article examines what the two most significant cookbooks of nineteenth-century Finland—Kokki-Kirja (Cookbook, 1849) and Anna Olsoni's Keittokirja yksinkertaista ruuanlaittoa varten kodissa ja koulussa (A cookbook for the simple preparation of food in the home and the school, 1893)—tell us about the circumstances and methods of cooking at the time, as well as the writing of recipes. The article also discusses how the early ideas of food science and home economics affected the food culture and the writing of cookbooks. The data (mostly recipes) were read and interpreted by using the author's own cooking skills, body techniques, and experiences of cooking, first to discover past ways of cooking, and secondly to understand how culinary skills and practices were textualized.
Multilingualism and Finnish Americans: New Perspectives from Sociolinguistics and Ethnography
Authors: Karjalainen Anu
Published: November 2022

This article examines the various ways in which the Finnish language gets manifested in Finnish American lives in the present-day United States, and the methodologies that help to investigate these manifestations. It joins the line of the latest sociolinguistic and ethnographic research that conceptualizes language as a set of context-based, socially constructed, and multimodal resources. Methodologically, the article employs language biographies and material ethnography as tools to gain a deeper understanding of the experiences that Finnish Americans relate to their heritage language. The methodologies are presented through a case study of a third-generation Finnish American woman who has taken strong agency concerning her heritage language. The findings suggest that in order to understand individual experiences, the Finnish language needs to be conceptualized as a multimodal phenomenon. Recognizing material and emotional resources as parts of the language repertoire gives credit also to those with less fluent Finnish skills and shows the heritage language speakers' situation in a more positive light.
An Ethnography of Nostalgia: Nordic Museum Curators Interviewing Finnish Immigrants in Sweden
Authors: Snellman Hanna
Published: November 2022

In using the concept of nostalgia as defined by anthropologist David Berliner, this article aims to analyze both the exo-nostalgia of the curators of the Nordic Museum in Stockholm, who researched the everyday life of immigrants from Finland in Sweden during the 1970s, and the endo-nostalgia of the immigrants themselves. The research is based on fourteen interviews conducted in 1974 in Upplands Väsby, Sweden, with migrants from Finland, who arrived from the late 1950s to the early 1970s. Because of the important role of food in daily culture, especially the importance of heritage food for immigrants, the article focuses on food-related nostalgia. After an introduction to the ideas of the museum project and about the conditions of the fieldwork, the text contains the description of how the interviewers followed their own nostalgia and how they found the expected nostalgia of their interviewees by asking questions about the émigrés' daily food consumption. Most of the Finns interviewed came from relatively urban backgrounds. However, they were still portrayed as rustic.
Poverty and Tax Exemptions in Mid-Nineteenth-Century Finland
Authors: Voutilainen Miikka
Published: November 2022

The topic of this article is the nature and social character of Finnish rural poverty during the early stages of industrialization. Specifically, I analyze households exempted from two separate taxes in order to locate and study the rural poor. Contrary to several previous considerations deeming taxation sources unreliable in poverty studies, it is shown that under controlled settings tax exemption information does display promising features. These include a high exemption percentage of households without adult male members, small average household size of the tax exempted and a clear concentration of the exemptions on the lower rural social classes. My findings also highlight the fact that conclusions on the usability of the exemption information depend heavily on the selection of the tax studied. Taxes levied at individual level were not necessarily dependent on the households' economic status, and similarly household level taxes may have been independent of the inhabitants' social and economic conditions. On average, the exemption rates are in line with several accounts from pre-industrial Western Europe.
Crimes of Desperation: Poverty-Related Filicides 1810–1860
Authors: Koskivirta Anu
Published: November 2022

Using Finnish upper court records as a source, this article is concerned with parental child homicides, newborn infanticides excluded, committed in Finland in the period 1810 to 1860. It focuses on the development in the rate and geographical distribution of these crimes, as well as the social and gendered distribution of the perpetrators. This information forms the basis for analyzing the connection between the motivation for the crime and the pauperization that culminated in these decades as a result of a rapid population growth, which manifested itself in an increase in the landless agrarian proletariat. Dire economic distress over subsistence was a motive for over a half of all filicides. Such crimes of desperation took place especially in periods of crisis: in the years following the Finnish War (1808–09) and after crop failures in the 1830s and the late 1850s. Filicides where the victim was older than a newborn child were, however, as an object of the authorities' concern, overshadowed in the public debate by neonaticides and other major contemporary social problems.
Psychological Capital and Psychological Career Mobility among Finnish Business School Graduates
Authors: Järlström Maria , Brandt Tiina
Published: November 2022

This article studies the relationship between psychological capital and psychological career mobility through a sample of 624 Finnish business-school graduates. The findings indicate that psychological capital and its dimensions are positively related to internal and external psychological career mobility. A typology of four careerist types is defined from psychological capital and internal and external psychological career mobility dimensions through cluster analysis. The Finnish respondents could be divided into four distinct groups: Ambitious Careerist, Change-Oriented Careerist, Insecure Anti-Careerist, and Stable Career-Developer. The Ambitious Careerist demonstrated far higher levels of psychological capital than any other careerist type. At the end of the article, new insights related to psychological elements of career research are discussed.

Autopathographical Life Writing as Distributed Subjectivity, Cognition, and Prostheses for People living with Dementia
Authors: Ganesan Niranjana , Gopalakrishnan Bhuvaneswari
Published: November 2022

Malafouris suggested that cognition does not exist in the brain but in the interaction with the material world and different forms of material culture enabled these cognitive capacities and processes or changed them over different periods. This study explores how narrative acts as a medium of embodied subjectivity, remembering, disremembering, and prostheses for a disoriented self. Further, it explains the importance of material things as a cognizer in the life of the narrator and the distributed subjectivity of a woman living with Dementia drawing its insights from autobiographical theories and the Material Engagement approach.
Employing Bennett’s Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS) to Understand Intercultural Sensitivity in ELT
Authors: Etri Walead
Published: November 2022

This paper attempts to explain the nature and practice of intercultural sensitivity among international teachers of English using stage descriptions of Bennett’s Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS). It draws on qualitative data generated from focus group interviews, individual interviews, recorded classroom observations and diary entries from 19 expatriate teachers in an English medium university in Saudi Arabia. The study showed that most of the actions and behaviours of teachers indicate intercultural sensitivity frames that reflect descriptions of the DMIS ethnocentricity stages of defence and minimisation. Many views some teachers put forward about pedagogy and intercultural communicative competence (ICC) development in ELT however, indicated higher stages of intercultural sensitivity that reflect some of the ethnorelative dimensions of acceptance and adaptation.
Falling Knights: Sir Gawain in Pre and Post Malory Arthurian Tradition
Authors: Kraishan Majed , Shoqairat Wasfi
Published: November 2022

The present study traces the development of Sir Gawain’s traits in the Arthurian legend through an analysis of Arthurian literature in early medieval works, in transition, and in modern cycle. It aims to show what makes Sir Gawain a multiple character and how his plastic character has appealed to the literary, political, and social taste of the time of his creation and recreation. The focus will be upon the roles that the new characteristics of Sir Gawain should fulfil and the reasons which stand behind this transition in his character.The study examines the representation of Sir Gawain as a heroic knight in mainly three texts from the medieval and modern English Arthurian tradition: Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Historia Regum Britanniae Sir Thomas Malory’s De Morte Arthur, Alfred Lord Tennyson’s Idylls of the King. Some references are made to other contemporary texts. These texts range from literary to history, providing a broad overview of the many ways in which history and romance approaches the question of the roles of knighthood and chivalry through the figure of Sir Gawain.By exploring these narratives in their historical and social contexts, the present study explains why Sir Gawain maintains certain characteristics across a particularly eventful period in English history, as well as why certain characteristics change drastically. It will also offer new insights about public perception of medieval notions of knighthood and chivalry.All translated quotations from Historia Regum Britanniae are taken from Geoffrey of Monmouth, History of Kings of Britain, translated by Sebastian Evans (London: Dent, 1963).

Podometric and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study of The Forelimb Feet in Normal Donkeys (Equus Asinus)
Authors: Hawari Sayed , Lethie Al , Elrashidy Mohamed
Published: November 2022

The study provided a standard database of normal podometric characteristics and magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the front feet in donkeys. podometric study was performed on twenty non lamed donkeys and podometric measurements for both front hooves were recorded using graduated tape and image analysis (Image-J). MRI was performed on twelve cadaver specimens. T1 weighted spoiled gradient echo (SPGR) and T2 weighted gradient echo (GRE) in sagittal, dorsal and transverse planes was done on recently euthanized cadaver. Results indicated some podometric differences between horse and donkey. On T1 weighted MRI images, the cancellous bone in the distal phalanx (DP) and the lower part of middle phalanx (MP) had intermediate signal intensity and appeared light grey while the cortical bone of such phalanges were hypo-intense and appeared darker. The synovial fluid appeared with low signal intensity and black in color. Deep digital flexor tendon (DDFT) within the foot appeared bilobate and its ensheathed fibers had low signal intensity with clearly demarcated margins. On T2 weighted images, all cancellous bones within the hoof, had intermediate signal intensity. The signal intensity of DP appeared heterogonous and ranged between black to white. DDFT appeared black in color. The articular cartilage of the coffin joint had an intermediate signal intensity and was distinguished from the synovial fluid which appeared hyper-intense and bright in such sequence. Donkeys were not similar to horse. MRI of donkeys’ foot provided an accurate noninvasive method for evaluation of the donkey's foot which help clinicians to perform better diagnoses.
Determination of the potential of 5-Hydroxy-L-tryptophan and L-tryptophan as therapeutic agents for prostate cancer
Authors: Özdemir Tozlu Özlem , Yüksel Nursena , Gezmiş Tuğba , Tanas Arzugül
Published: November 2022

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer in men. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is used as the standard treatment for prostate cancer, and this treatment has undesirable side effects over time. There is a need for more effective, safe compounds that occur naturally under the influence of these undesirable limitations. In this study, the anti-cancer potentials of 5-Hydroxy-L-tryptophan (5-HTP) and L-tryptophan, which are thought to have various inhibitory potentials on cancer and its mechanisms, were studied. The study results showed that 5-HTP has a significant inhibition in prostate cancer cells. This study is an important preliminary screening for new and effective molecule trials. In order to develop a possible treatment strategy and to use these molecules as new therapeutic agents, further studies are needed in order to obtain more comprehensive data on the mechanisms of action of these molecules and to investigate their possible effects in other cancer types and the obtained data should be supported by these studies.
Investigation of cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of olive leaf extract on colon cancer cells and normal cell lines
Authors: Öztürk Emre , Çalık Fatma , Ulusoy Derya
Published: November 2022

Colon cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when cells in the mucous layer membrane that surrounds the inner surface of the large intestine sections multiply unevenly. This study aimed to investigate olive leaf extract's cytotoxic and genotoxic effects on HTC-116 colon cancer cell lines and HDF healthy cell lines. In the study, olive leaf extract was prepared in methanol. The passaged HTC-116 and HDF cell lines were then incubated in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM). Olive leaf extract extracted in methanol was applied to these cell lines at 3, 10, 20, 50, and 80 µg/ml and left for incubation for 24 hours. Then, the cytotoxic effect was determined by MTT analysis. The genotoxic effect of olive leaf extracts applied to HTC-116 and HDF cell lines after a 24-hour incubation period was determined by Hoechst stain. DNA damage was visualized with a DAPI filter on a camera-attached trinocular fluorescence microscope 30 minutes after staining with Hoechst. The MTT analysis revealed that the cytotoxic effects of olive leaf extract applied to the HTC-116 cell line were close to each group after the 24-hour incubation period. As a result of the examination of the genotoxic activity with Hoechst DNA staining in colon cancer cells (HCT-116), olive leaf extract at various concentrations treated to the cell line had a minor genotoxic effect at low doses (3, 10, and 20 µg/ml), while at high concentrations (50 and 80 µg). /ml), the genotoxic effects of the applications were determined. In examining the genotoxic impact of Hoechst DNA staining in the HDF cell line, no genotoxic effect was observed at low doses (3, 10, and 20 µg/ml) of olive leaf extract applied to the cell line at various doses. The little genotoxic effects of high doses (50 and 80 µg/ml) were also observed. Olive leaf contains phenolic substances and has antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antiatherogenic, anticarcinogenic and antiviral effects.Keywords: In vitro culture, plant regeneration, callus, hormones.

Published: November 2022

Cisplatin is one of the most general chemotherapeutic agents used to treat various cancers, including colorectal and breast
cancer. because cisplatin has some adverse effects including cardiotoxicity and hepatoxicity, it is usage limited. Melatonin is a
natural product that responsible for regulator of circadian rhythms and has anti-cancer potential. However, its synergistic
effects with melatonin and cisplatin, its efficacy in cancer cell death, its mechanisms and biological targets are not well
understood. In this study, it was aimed to determine the synergistic activity of cisplatin with melatonin in colon cancer cell
death through apoptotic and autophagic mechanisms. In the present study, we found that melatonin with cisplatin treatment
did not affect the cytotoxicity, but cisplatin increased in 24 h incubation period. Melatonin and combined treatment of
melatonin and cisplatin also increased the cytotoxicity in 48h incubation period. It was observed that cisplatin treatments used
together with melatonin and melatonin inhibited the mitogen activity of colon cancer cells. In addition, combined treatment of
cisplatin and melatonin and single treatment of cisplatin increased both apoptosis and autophagic cell death. The results
revealed that the use of melatonin with combined cisplatin has been shown to increase the apoptosis and autophagic cell deaths
via P53 gene activation.
MENGKONSTRUKSI TUJUAN PEMBELAJARAN PENDIDIKAN AGAMA HINDU
Authors: Sujaelanto
Published: November 2022

Tujuan pembelajaran dirancang oleh guru untuk memudahkan dalam proses belajar mengajar. Tujuan pembelajaran digunakan untuk dasar evaluasi dan memberikan arahan bagi guru untuk melakukan proses belajar mengajar serta sebagai media untuk menyampaikan tujuan kepada orang lain yakni siswa, orang tua, sekolah ataupun masyarakat yang relevan. Dalam pendidikan formal, tujuan pembelajaran terintegrasi didalam rencana pembelajaran semester. Mengunstruksi tujuan pembelajaran bagi seorang guru merupakan hal yang biasa dilakukan, namun akan menjadi tidak terbiasa ketika seorang guru tidak memahami bagaimana cara mengunstruksi tujuan pembelajaran dan bagaimana untuk memulainya. Langkah yang ditempuh untuk menyusun tujuan pembelajaran adalah diawali dengan memahami standar kompetensi  dan kompetensi dasar. Kompetensi dasar dijabarkan dengan melakukan pertanyaan ; Kemampuan apa saja yang harus dimiliki siswa agar standar kompetensi  dapat dicapai. Kemudian jawaban pertanyaan tersebut di identifikasi dan kemudian menyusun indikatornya. Rumuskan dalam bentuk produk belajar bukan proses belajar,  rumuskan dalam tingkah laku siswa bukan prilaku guru. Indikator hendaknya merupakan penjabaran dari kompetensi dasar yang menunjukan tanda-tanda, perbuatan atau respon yang dilakukan atau ditampilkan oleh peserta didik. Rumusan indikator hendaknya menggunakan kata kerja operasional yang bisa diukur atau dapat diobservasi. Tujuan pembelajaran dinarasikan dengan kalimat aktif.
Питання гармонізації процедур контролю дотримання законодавства про рекламу з вимогами Закону України «Про основні засади державного нагляду (контролю) у сфері господарської діяльності»
Authors: Єрохіна Н. А.
Published: November 2022

Для систематизації правового підґрунтя контролю за дотриманням законодавства про рекламу, заповнення прогалин у ньому, так само як і для його гармонізації з суміжними адміністративно-правовими інститутами та загальними тенденціями розвитку права й публічного адміністрування, автор визначає співвідношення процедур контролю дотримання законодавства про рекламу із заходами державного нагляду (контролю) у сфері господарської діяльності та висловлення пропозицій щодо шляхів їх узгодження. Зважаючи на те, що на найвищому рівні судового правозастосування немає єдності з питання охоплення матеріально-правовими правилами та процедурними нормами Закону України «Про основні засади державного нагляду (контролю) у сфері господарської діяльності» діяльності органів контролю за дотриманням законодавства про рекламу, що спрямована на перевірку повноти та правильності виконання рекламодавцями, виробниками та розповсюджувачами реклами відповідних регуляторних вимог, а також враховуючи те, що негативна позиція з цього питання виводить цю діяльність за межі адміністративно-правового поля з позбавленням її будь-якого законного підґрунтя з відповідними правовими наслідками, вважаємо, що наукове співтовариство для усунення цієї неузгодженості, забезпечення надавачам рекламних послуг належних процедурних гарантій й створення умов для якомога більш ефективного виконання органами контролю має запропонувати шляхи приведення законодавства про рекламу у частині нагляду (контролю) за контролю за рекламною діяльністю у відповідність до Закону України «Про основні засади державного нагляду (контролю) у сфері господарської діяльності» або, як альтернатива, розробити окремий контрольно-наглядовий механізм, який ґрунтується на найбільш прогресивних принципах та інструментах, відображених у Законі України «Про основні засади державного нагляду (контролю) у сфері господарської діяльності», але й максимально пристосований до особливостей ринку рекламних послуг.
Нуліфікація адміністративного акту: питання сутності та класифікації
Authors: Турчак А. М.
Published: November 2022

У статті автором на підставі аналізу різноманітних точок зору, сформульовано поняття нуліфікації адміністративного акту та здійснено її класифікацію. Зокрема, нуліфікацію адміністративного акту класифіковано за різними критеріями, зокрема такими: 1) за обсягом нуліфікаційних наслідків: а) повна нуліфікація адміністративного акту; б) часткова (не повна); 2) залежно від складності механізму реалізації: а) складна – передбачає багатостадійність процесу скасування адміністративного акту; б) спрощена – застосовується у випадках, коли після ініціювання процесу нуліфікації лідируючих суб’єкт (наприклад, адміністративний суд) приймає рішення про розгляд справи за правилами спрощеного позовного провадження; в) проста – проходить в одну або дві стадії без застосування численних процесуальних або процедурних дій; 3) за характером правового впливу: а) негативна; б) нейтральна; 4) за юридичними передумовами застосування: а) фактична – виконання адміністративного акту чи завершення строку його дії; б) подієва – настання певної юридичної події, зокрема, зникнення «адресата» акта (смерть фізичної особи, ліквідація юридичної особи); в) заявна – за заявою (позовом, скаргою) особи, яка має на це законний інтерес; г) самоініціативна; 5) за суб’єктом реалізації механізму (залежно від правової природи правил реалізації): а) судова (процесуальна); б) адміністративна (процедурна). Доведено, що нуліфікація адміністративного акту – це негативне чи нейтральне позбавлення або вичерпування юридичного потенціалу акту як інструменту публічного адміністрування впливати на адміністративні правовідносини та їх учасників. Зазначено, що судова нуліфікація адміністративного акту – це негативний, заявний процес визнання протиправним та скасування адміністративного акту, що реалізується адміністративним судом в порядку адміністративного судочинства.
A compact solution for ultra-light drone optical auto-detection and distance estimation using AI
Authors: Xuyen Nguyen Ngoc , Phan Huy Anh  , Nguyen Le Cuong
Published: November 2022

This paper proposes a system for ultra-light drone (ULD) auto–detection using only one non-static optical PTZ camera. The system includes multi-stages of suspect objects detection, clarification, and distance estimation. An AI model for detection and clarification stages is designed based on the YOLOv3 architecture and trained with a practical dataset. In the detection stage, the camera continuously pans, tilts, and zooms to take panoramic images of the detection zone and pass them to the AI model. Once the AI model detects a suspect object, it will switch to the verification stage. In this stage, the camera controlled by the AI model’s output focuses on the target to clarify and estimate the distance to ULD. The proposed solution was implemented and tested with popular fly cams. The results show that the system can auto-detect ultra-light drones effectively with high accuracy.
Driving stress detection using physiological data with machine learning
Authors: Bui Tien Dat , Trần Quang Đức , Cung Thanh Long
Published: November 2022

Stress is a problem that affects both physical and mental health, causing negative emotional states.  Stress can impair the driver’s ability to perceive and handle situations in driving safety. Therefore, the detection and assessment of stress levels play an important role in improving comfort, well-being, and enhancing the driving experience for drivers. Using the AffectiveROAD dataset, this paper proposes a method of classifying stress levels through physiological signals obtained from driving sessions. These signals are time-aligned and pre-processed to extract the suitable features within a five-second period. Based on the obtained features, Machine Learning models are trained to classify stress status into five levels. The tested results show that the accuracy reaches 94% with the Random Forests (RF) when using the seven most important features from the HR, EDA, TEMP signals, and 99% when incorporating the overlapping technique for 10-fold cross-validation.

Published: November 2022

O Programa de Educação Tutorial (PET), fundamenta-se como um mecanismo que possibilita seus integrantes uma experiência mais rica durante sua jornada acadêmica. Para isso o tripé: Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão, norteia as atividades desenvolvidas pelos grupos existentes. O presente artigo apresentará um dos movimentos articulados e desenvolvidos entre o Grupo EtnoPET – Etnodesenvolvimento e Educação Diferenciada da Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ) em parceria com o Ilê Axé Opô Afonjá RJ. O projeto em questão iniciou-se em 2018 e tem por objetivo fomentar debates e pesquisas acerca dos saberes desenvolvidos nas Comunidades Tradicionais de Terreiro como forma de combater a intolerância e o racismo religioso dentro e fora do espaço acadêmico, além de apresentar reflexões entre os conhecimentos produzidos pela Universidade e pela comunidade externa, criando uma via de “mão-dupla” para a aprendizagem.
