Computing in the cloud is one of the platforms that may be used to provide distributed computing resources. Supplying and managing cloud resources most effectively is referred to as resource management. A recent development in technology known as fog computing is an example of an expanded and dispersed infrastructure. This architecture maintains application processes between end devices and the network edge to provide more dependable and efficient services. These services include remote data storage, allowing customers to access their data from a distant location. Providing remote storage service is an advantageous function offered by cloud suppliers. On the other hand, the data stored in the cloud is geographically dispersed and kept in various data centers, significantly increasing the risk to users' privacy and security. One of the problems that might arise with privacy is when many data centers store the same information. Many cloud service providers check their customers' data using a Third-Party Auditor (TPA) to address concerns about client privacy and data integrity. Currently, most trusted TPAs only have one validator, making it impossible to expand the data integrity across several data centers. The various verifiers used by TPAs have been reduced in number in response to Man in the Cloud (MiTC) attacks. As a result, they cannot check and authenticate the integrity of data stored in several data centers. A unique Peer to Peer (P2P) authentication protocol with Certificate Authority (CA) and Data Storage Protocol is presented as a solution to the problem that has been outlined above to check for and go around any issues that may arise (DSP). The efficiency of the proposed protocol is demonstrated by the incorporation of TPAs and Certificate Authorities. The proposed protocol has been tested with a single user and a single storage server, as well as multiple storage servers in ownCloud with one backup server, two storage servers, three clients, and two TPAs. The NoSQL server in an organization's cloud is set up to save data to storage servers in the appropriate format. The Amanda backup server is used to back up the mirror copy of the stored data on the storage servers. Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols with Data Fusion and Applications, or AVISPA for short, is a technology that may be used to verify data stored in the cloud. The findings make it abundantly evident that the suggested protocol is strong enough to guarantee the authenticity of data kept in several data centers.

Hypersoft topology (HST) is the study of a structure based on all hypersoft (HS) sets on a given set of alternatives. In continuation of this concern, in this article, we introduce new maps namely HS continuous, HS open, HS closed, and HS homomorphism. We examine the main characteristics of each of these maps. Furthermore, we study HS compact space and discuss some of its properties. We point out that HS compactness preserved under HS continuous map.
Measuring Chinese Undergraduate English Majors’ Motivation to Learn Translation in Higher Education Translation Courses
Authors: Chen Weijia , Nair Subadrah Madhawa , Wider Walton
Published: October 2022

Many studies have suggested that Chinese English majors tend to have a lower level of motivation to learn translation due to the conventional teaching method still prevalent in many a translation classroom. In this regard, from the standpoint of instruction, a translation course design that employed motivation as a central concept of the design may have positive impacts on students’ motivation to learn. Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) is known for its efficacy in making meaning-oriented choice in language use in context. And since translation is about recontextualized meaning transfer, a teaching method integrated with SFL may be motivating for students to learn translation. Grounded on SFL and guided by Keller’s ARCS Motivational Design, a new genre-based method was proposed. This study aimed to explore effects of an SFL guided genre-based method and the conventional method on Chinese students’ motivation to learn translation. Two intact groups were selected as the Experimental Group and the Control Group, each consisting of 37 students. The Experimental Group was instructed using the genre-based method while the Control Group using the conventional method. A motivation questionnaire adapted from Keller’s Course Interest Survey was administered to both groups’ students before and after the pedagogical intervention. Data collected from the survey were analyzed using ANCOVA test in SPSS (Version 25). The results show that students in the Experimental Group scored significantly higher mean in overall motivation and four constructs of the ARCS Model, namely, Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction after they were taught using the genre-based method in comparison with their counterparts in the Control Group. The findings indicate that in general, the genre-based method is effective in enhancing students’ motivation in learning translation. Therefore, future translation instructors may consider adopting the SFL-informed genre-based method as an alternative pedagogical tool to motivate students to learn translation.
The Depiction of Servant Teacher Leadership Attributes in Mass Media: A Characterization Analysis of the Protagonist in Rita TV Series
Authors: Lasekan Olusiji , Alarcon Claudia
Published: October 2022

Taking into account the critical role of teacher leadership in school development and the importance of fostering its training through image media, this study aims to identify the ten proposed attributes of Greenleaf servant leadership exemplified by the protagonist of a popular comedy-drama television show called Rita. Adopting the notion of characterization, a qualitative study approach was used to identify the proposed Greenleaf's ten traits of servant leader (SL) demonstrated by the main character by evaluating her interactions with students and their parents, co-teachers, the principal, and school policymakers. The findings revealed that the character is an effective servant teacher leader, as her personality portrayed all the ten qualities proposed in Greenleaf SL. This implies that preservice and in-service educators can utilize the show as a reflective tool for enhancing Servant Teacher Leadership (STL) competencies in the classroom. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge about teacher representation on television shows and the implications for teacher leadership education. A future research direction is also presented.
ANTIPROLIFERATIVE EFFECTS OF SOME MEDICINAL PLANTS ON COLORECTAL CANCER: A MINI REVIEW
Authors: Borjac Jamilah
Published: October 2022

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the highly prevalent and deadly cancers worldwide. Surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are the conventional treatment modalities for CRC; however, they cause adverse side effects and can be associated with cancer resistance and relapse. Currently, traditional herbal medicine is becoming increasingly studied and used in combination with conventional treatments in CRC. Various medicinal plants have shown promising anticancer effects against CRC concomitant with negligible side effects. For example, Annona muricata (soursop), Chenopodium quinoa (quinoa), Matricaria chamomilla (chamomile), and Moringa oleifera (moringa) have shown remarkable antiproliferative effects against CRC both in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, it is warranted to document the recuperative role of these potential medicinal plants in CRC. It is also important to provide scientific explanations for these effects by establishing their effects on key signaling pathways implicated in colorectal carcinogenesis. In this review, a summary of key signaling pathways that are altered in CRC is presented. The antiproliferative effects of selected medicinal plants against CRC as well as their underlying mechanisms of action are also discussed.
ROLE OF 3D PRINTED GREEN WALLS IN HEALING ARCHITECTURE
Authors: Chahin Sara , Afify Ayman , Mohsen Hiba , Youssef Maged
Published: October 2022

Three-dimensional (3D) printing has become a fundamental issue in modern global technology, touching practically every element of modern human life.Three-dimensional (3D) printing (also known as additive manufacturing) is an advanced manufacturing technology that can autonomously manufacture complicated shape geometries from a 3D computer-aided design model without the use of equipment or fixtures.However, there is a friction between traditional designs and the rise of 3D printed technology when it comes to architectural healing approaches, and this adaptability is hurting human healing tactics that are dependent on the relationship between space and environment.Due to its capacity to create products in a wide range of materials rapidly and at a lower cost, additive manufacturing is having a significant impact on production in a variety of areas. Even though it encompasses a wide range of techniques and applications, additive manufacturing (AM) may be described as a system for converting solid model data from a computer-based model into a physical prototype by the incremental addition of material via layer superposition. Therefore, this research aims to examine the 3d printed green walls as new proposed design elements that can upgrade the natural healing architecture. To achieve this goal, the study begins with a literature review that includes scientific methodology based on principles that assist architects dealing with advanced tools in transforming their intentions from digital to analogue means as part of a controlled system intended to innovate design and construction principles of the use of 3D printed green walls. It will also assist in the quest for a concept design that confronts the regeneration of a new spatial delineation ideology.
Scientific Milieu, Multi-disciplinary Science and Creativeness
Authors: Vieira Kritz Maurício
Published: October 2022

Western science has always been intrinsically a social enterprise. How the population of scientists organises itself to produce knowledge, though, has changed enormously during the last 150 years. Generally, these changes occurred instinctively and spontaneously, being rarely, if at all, planned beforehand or investigated a posteriori. The result of this process is that the actual organisation of the scientific society is being considered far from optimal to face the gigantic and complex challenges lying ahead. In inquiry domains aiming to understand problems of organised complexity it is even inadequate, although it is often difficult to state why and to identify where inadequacies lie. Grounding on organisations, a generalisation of the system concept, on the in-formation concept induced by them and on the ground-breaking achievements of the science of generic systems in the last century, I tentatively sketch a description of the scientific milieu and its social arrangements that allows for questioning about agonistic, antagonistic, and synergistic situations and patterns of interaction, collaboration, and knowledge-creation.
Project-Based Development as a Model for Transdisciplinary Research and Education
Authors: Sagheb Shahabedin , Walkup Katie , Smith Robert
Published: October 2022

Project-based educational environment that focuses on real-world problems and crosssector collaboration instills students' learning pathways with the proficiency to move from the domain-specific to the domain-general knowledge. We conceptualize a project-based curriculum model as central to undergraduate education. Focusing on iterative design and development during each year of the undergraduate degree allows for further enrichment of the undergraduate curriculum. We present a case study of a project-based model in action within Virginia Tech, a large public polytechnic university in the United States. Working with seventy-five industry partners serving as project mentors and twenty-seven transdisciplinary faculty, we discuss methodology key to ensure student learning and project outcomes within this model, including embedding industry partners within project teams, developing transdisciplinary project teams, and encouraging just-in-time implementation of disciplinary knowledge.
Text Classification of News Using Transformer-based Models for Portuguese
Authors: Santana Isabel N. , Oliveira Raphael S. , Nascimento Erick G. S.
Published: October 2022

This work proposes the use of a fine-tuned Transformers-based Natural Language Processing (NLP) model called BERTimbau to generate the word embeddings from texts published in a Brazilian newspaper, to create a robust NLP model to classify news in Portuguese, a task that is costly for humans to perform for big amounts of data. To assess this approach, besides the generation of embeddings by the fine-tuned BERTimbau, a comparative analysis was conducted using the Word2Vec technique. The first step of the work was to rearrange news from nineteen to ten categories to reduce the existence of class imbalance in the corpus, using the K-means and TF-IDF techniques. In the Word2Vec step, the CBOW and Skip-gram architectures were applied. In BERTimbau and Word2Vec steps, the Doc2Vec method was used to represent each news as a unique embedding, generating a document embedding for each news. Metrics accuracy, weighted accuracy, precision, recall, F1-Score, AUC ROC and AUC PRC were applied to evaluate the results. It was noticed that the fine-tuned BERTimbau captured distinctions in the texts of the different categories, showing that the classification model based on this model has a superior performance than the other explored techniques.

Published: October 2022

Gender equity in education is a priority aiming to promote the right to education for everyone. It is necessary to ensure equal access to girls and boys for completion of their education cycles, as well as empower equity all through the education education process. Lack of equity between boys and girls schools is not a special specific of one country, but also a sensitive issue. Annual reports show that a considerable number of children, mainly girls, have interrupted their education in various levels of Albanian education system, due to a number of reasons. Lack of gender equity in the education system is a big obstacle for dynamic development of the society. The education of girls and women in Albania is important, not only as a matter of respecting a basic human right for half of the population, but also as a powerful force for economic development and achieving other social goals such as improved health and civic involvement. This work will focus on gender disparity in Albanian education system, where number of boys and girls is not the same in all education cycles - primary, elementary, secondary, according to data in the largest region in the country. A coordination of the qualitative and quantitative analysis is provided to indicate the reasons for this disparity and compare data according to random chosen schools. This work shall offer suggestions and recommendations to improve school curricula and determine the role of teachers in this aspect in order to create a favourable environment for both genders as well as making the education system more inclusive for all children includes improving standards, curricula and a focus on teacher training and development in Albania.

Effect of Family Involvement and Corporate Governance on Dividend Policy: A Study of Non-Financial Listed Firms in Morocco
Authors: Toumi Said , Su Zhan
Published: October 2022

Current research on the determinants of dividend policy has focused on the study of developed countries, while

research on emerging countries remains limited. The objective of this research is to study the effect of the

involvement of the family firm on dividend policy. This paper uses Ordinary Least Squares regression, we

analyzed data for Moroccan nonfinancial firms listed on the Casablanca Stock Exchange over the period

2015-2017. The results of this paper show that family firm pay less dividends than non-family firms. Thus,

ownership concentration and firm size influence dividend policy, unlike the composition of the board of

directors, which doesn’t influence it. Our paper contributes to broaden our understanding of the effect of the

family firm on dividend policy in one of the emerging countries. It is suggested that the characteristics of

corporate ownership determine the share of profits to be distributed, not to say dividend policy, since

concentration of ownership limits the power of minority shareholders to make their voices heard. Despite the

presence of laws protecting minority shareholders, their room for maneuver remains limited. Our paper

enriches the existing literature on the family firm dividend policy by studying the Moroccan context. The results

show that family ownership and family CEO involvement do not have the same influence on the dividend policy

of family firms, but it depends on the context. Our paper also provides relevant information for practitioners

regarding dividend policy in Moroccan family firms.

Reasons for Reluctance to Participate in the Parliamentary Elections of the Nineteenth Parliament for the Year 2020 in the Jordanian Capital, Amman
Authors: AL Atnah Ghazi Fanatel , Al-Qatawneh Ahmad Hani , Jabali Safia M. , Alyamani Abdelraouf Hameed
Published: October 2022

This study aimed to reveal the reasons for the reluctance to participate in the parliamentary elections of the nineteenth parliament for the year 2020 in the Jordanian capital, Amman. A questionnaire was developed for this purpose, which included (30) items distributed over four dimensions, each dimension representing a general reason for the reluctance to participate in the parliamentary elections. The acceptable parameters of validity and reliability of the questionnaire were achieved. The questionnaire was applied to an available sample consisting of (1223) individuals who did not participate in the parliamentary elections in the Jordanian capital, Amman. The results of the study revealed that the most common reasons for reluctance to participate in the parliamentary elections of the nineteenth parliament for the year 2020 in the Jordanian capital, Amman, were "the reasons related to the candidates," while it came in the fourth and final rank domain: "the reasons related to the Corona pandemic." The results also showed that the most common reason for the reluctance to participate in the parliamentary elections related to voters was the fifth reason: "I did not find anyone to represent me in the parliament among the candidates." That the most common reason for the reluctance to participate in the parliamentary elections related to the candidates was the ninth reason: "The spread of corruption among members of the parliament in appointments and promotions". The most common reason for the reluctance to participate in the parliamentary elections related to the independent body was the reason (22), which states: "The independent body was unable to control candidates from using political money in the elections," and that the most common reason for refraining from participating in the parliamentary elections related to the Corona pandemic was the reason ( 29) and its text: "People's lack of commitment to health measures such as social distancing and wearing a mask." In light of the results of the current study, the researchers recommend finding effective formulas to ensure broader participation in the parliamentary elections, employing various social media to support and enhance participation in parliamentary elections, and tightening supervision and punishment to prevent the spread of practices related to political money, the existence of real and serious procedures to ensure the integrity of the elections, the development of awareness programs for the citizen on the basis for choosing a representative, the adoption of standards of morality, integrity and hard work of the candidate when voting, and conducting various studies on the issue of the reasons for reluctance to vote in parliamentary elections and their relationship to social, demographic and political variables.
Biodanza and the Implementation of the Principle of Biocentric Education in Kindergartens
Authors: Zilka Gila Cohen
Published: October 2022

This study examined the introduction of biodanza to kindergartens together with the implementation of the principle of biocentric education, with emphasis on affectivity, to create an affectionate climate and to encourage meaningful interactions between children, and between the kindergarten staff and the children. The research question was: How would introducing biodanza and implementing biocentric education in kindergartens achieve these objectives? This was a qualitative study. The data were collected in Israel in the years 2017-2019. The study findings show that biodanza in kindergartens allowed for situations that required children to deal with emotional and social aspects of their interactions. As a result, positivity resonance in the kindergarten intensified greatly, and the atmosphere became more and more affectionate, accepting, and sharing, and positive gestures increased substantially. Communication between the kindergarten staff and the children underwent a change and became considerably more affectionate, compared to what it had been at the beginning of the process.

Authors: Mersha Firomsa , Haji Jema , Emana Bezabih , Mehare Abule
Published: October 2022

Climate variability and change are a serious threat to the livelihoods of rural communities because they are very sensitive to such changes. This study assesses the major adaptation strategies pursued by farm households to climate variability and change impact in Benishangul Gumuz regional state, western Ethiopia which is harshly affected by climate change stresses. The data were collected from a randomly selected 385 sample households through interview using field-based questionnaires and focus group discussions and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results pointed out that the likelihood of households to adopt crop diversity, soil and water conservation practice, small scale irrigation, crop rotation, adjusting planting date and improved crop varieties were 54.2%, 49.8%, 47.3%, 45.3%, 44.4% and 43.5% respectively. Moreover, the results indicated that the joint likelihood of using all adaptation strategies was only 1.64% and the joint likelihood of failure to adopt all of the adaptation strategies was 2.92%. Therefore, future policy should focus on towards supporting improved extension service, offer climate related training and information especially to adaptation technologies to increase the farm households experience in adopting different strategies to the negative effects of climate variability which is a global problem of this century.

Hyponatremia is particularly common in neurosurgical patients, occurring in up to 50% of cases depending on the underlying diagnosis. One of the causes is the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). Treatment for this condition mainly increases sodium intake and fluid restriction. Both of these therapies are potentially dangerous in some cases. Thus the therapy should be considered thoroughly. In this case we present, A 33-years-old male with refractory hyponatremia day-8 post craniotomy. Serum sodium was measured after every treatment. The patient was given hypertonic saline, fluid restriction advice, and a combination of those treatments. Yet every treatment gave various outcomes. Although the theory was put into practice, therapy in SIADH is harder than expected due to variations in the patient’s condition
