INDIAN COSTUS IN ISLAMIC, AYURVEDA, TCM AND MODERN MEDICINE, A REVIEW ON ANTIMICROBIAL ACTION
Authors: Fathy Hussein Emad Ahmed , Hassan Shahira , Bayomy Mohamed F.F , Shaikh Tabish Ishaq , Helmy Saleh Ahmed
Published: March 2024

Indian Costus species has been mentioned as an herbal remedy for infections in Islamic, Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) literature as well. Using the Indian costus to treat disease is one of the cross-cultural practices, just like cupping therapy and meditation. This would mean that it is safe and beneficial. In the saying (Hadith) of the prophet of Islam, it was prescribed to treat pharyngitis and pleurisy (Ahmad et al., 2009).  In TCM, Costus root (Guang Mu Xiang) powder is used to treat gastroenteritis and tenesmus (Nystrom, 2015). In Ayurveda, it is used as a spasmolytic and antiparasitic for intestinal disease (Pandey et al., 2007). Among the pharmacological benefits of costus is the antimicrobial effect. This includes the antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antiparasitic action of the substances to be discussed here. We did a focus on the antimicrobial effect in the three systems, compared and concluded findings through modern medicine to verify the evidence here.

Authors: Hilmy Farhan , Wiyono Nanang , Hastami Yunia , Munawaroh Siti
Published: March 2024

Resilience plays a very important role for medical students. The formation of resilience in overcoming problems is closely related to spirituality. Spirituality helps individuals see problems as part of the learning and growth process. The aim of this research is to identify whether there is a positive relationship between the level of spirituality and the level of resilience. This research is an analytical observational research with a cross sectional approach. Sampling was carried out using a random sampling technique with a total research sample of 100 medical students. Measurement of the level of spirituality was carried out using the Daily Spiritual Experience Scale (DSES) questionnaire, while measurement of the level of resilience was carried out with the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC 25) questionnaire. Bivariate analysis of the two variables used the Spearman correlation test. The result of the bivariate analysis test using Spearman obtained a significance value of p<0,05 which shows that the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable is significant. The level of spirituality and the level of resilience is positively correlated in medical students.

PROGRAMMES TO COMBAT THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN KAZAKHSTAN AND UKRAINE AND UNEMPLOYMENT
Authors: Gomółka Krystyna
Published: March 2024

The following article presents economic programmes to combat the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysed programmes were undertaken by the governments of Ukraine and Kazakhstan. They contributed to reducing unemployment in both countries. The findings of Ukrainian researchers focused mainly on estimating losses in the SME sector, especially in the hotel, tourism and transport sectors. Scientific literature in Kazakhstan has focused on examining the effects of the government program to counteract the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially from the labour market perspective (employees). The methods used in the paper include literature studies, analysis of government programmes in the combat against the economic effects of the pandemic and comparative analysis of statistical data of employed and unemployed people in Ukraine and Kazakhstan. The article focuses on identifying the countermeasures undertaken by the governments of Kazakhstan and Ukraine aimed at entrepreneurs and employees. The author also assessed the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the labour market, mainly in terms of unemployment. In the Ukrainian government programme, the main emphasis was placed on supporting entrepreneurs and the self-employed. The government also provided tax preferences, loan grace periods, financial support for enterprises that limited or stopped performance during the pandemic, and special financial assistance for agribusiness. The programme of the Kazakh government was addressed to entrepreneurs, self-employed and employees. The implementation of the programme in Kazakhstan did not encounter any difficulties, while in Ukraine the local authorities did not comply with the decisions of the central authorities. The closure of many businesses or reductions in working hours contributed to rising unemployment in both countries. Kazakhstan was in a more favourable situation, where a small and short-term increase in unemployment was recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic period. In Ukraine, the decline in employment in all sectors of the economy was much greater than in Kazakhstan and meant a significant increase in unemployment.

Authors: Tserenkhand Gundsambuu , Shinekhuu Tumurjav
Published: March 2024

Savine juniper is a rare plant growing in the mountain-steppe belt of Mongolia, the upper part of which is harvested in large quantities of raw materials for traditional medicine and cosmetics, religious rituals, sterilization, and trade. For that reason, the range and resources of the species are reduced significantly. Currently, when the ecological balance is disturbed, the species has a weak ability to naturally regenerate. According, to this species must determine the results of anatomical structure and biochemical study of vegetative and reproductive organs for protection in nature, to ensure proper use and to standardize identifying raw materials. Therefore, we determined that it consists of the following main parts: cuticle, epidermis, palisade and spongy mesophyll tissue, excretory canal, and vascular bundle for determining the anatomical structure of needle-like leaf (needle). Anomocytic stomata are found only on the adaxial epidermis of the needle. However, the excretory canal is situated on the bottom side of the vascular bundle in the needle, it is characterized by being in between spongy tissue in the superficial triangle ledge section of the stem.

Post genetic revolution dynamics. How will modified and unmodified humans coexist?
Authors: Alonso Marcos
Published: March 2024

In this article I claim that the genetic revolution, that is, the advent of a series of highly transformative and disruptive genetic technologies, will happen in the coming years. Given the importance of this historical event, I argue that we must think in advance about the socio-ethical dynamics this revolution could entail. To do this, I first explore the ways in which this genetic revolution might unfold, and the socio-ethical problems it will face. Then, I describe possible social dynamics that will appear in a post genetic revolution scenario, using the example of Ecuador, a multiethnic society that had an abrupt social and genetical transformation that could resemble in some ways what the genetic revolution might bring.
La libertad de elegir o la tiranía de la mejora
Authors: Feito Lydia
Published: March 2024

Los intentos de mejorar al ser humano parten de la suposición de que es posible lograr algo más perfecto que lo que somos actualmente. Sin embargo, no en todos los casos se plantea cuál es el objetivo último al que tienden las acciones de mejora. Si lo que se produce no es el logro de un rango óptimo, sino un proceso ilimitado de mejora continua, se abre un interrogante sobre cómo se altera la identidad de los individuos, qué consecuencias tendría ese proceso de reconstrucción y qué significa hablar del ser humano cuando las características que lo definen se pueden alterar a voluntad. Igualmente, cabe preguntarse cuál es el espacio de libertad de elección que queda a los individuos, cómo se ve comprometida la autonomía de los progenitores en las decisiones sobre sus hijos y en qué medida la mejora se convierte en una exigencia que obliga a realizar modificaciones para lograr una humanidad mejor.

Published: March 2024

Green synthesis of photocatalyst bimetallic CuO@NiO nanocomposite for eliminating organic hazardous glyphosate (Gly) solution has been introduced. The nanocomposite has been successfully developed from mango (Mangifera indica L.) peel extracted solution by a simultaneous reduction process. HRTEM, XRD, and EDX have also been used to explore the nanostructure, crystal conformation, and chemical compositions of CuO@NiO. Using UV-vis spectrometer, we have observed the photo-catalytic activity and kinetic removal rate constant of CuO@NiO in terms of glyphosate elimination under UV light illumination. Compared with pure CuO and NiO nanoparticles, CuO@NiO displayed improved and enhanced photocatalytic activity. This work demonstrates an eco-friendly, low-cost material with high efficiency for removing Gly, which has applications in environmental protection.

Published: March 2024

Digital storytelling is a form of mediated communication that uses a set of information and communication technologies with the aim of exchanging information, which is packaged into several topics with an interesting presentation style. The purpose of this study is to describe the utilization of digital storytelling that can increase the level of learning motivation of students. The research model implemented is to use quantitative methods. The quantitative method was carried out with a survey model with google forms and in-depth interviews, as well as gathering information from several students at one of the Madrasah Aliyah in the Tanah Datar area. The result of this research is that digital storytelling is very effective to be applied in schools, because it is able to bring out the enthusiasm and high motivation of students in learning. The conclusion of this research is that a teacher must be able to improvise on learning media which initially only used printed media in learning, now must be able to utilize digital storytelling as a medium that arouses students' enthusiasm. The limitation of this study is that researchers are only able to apply digital storytelling learning media in one subject. For this reason, researchers hope that future researchers can apply and develop digital storytelling in various subjects.

Celem prezentowanych w pracy badań była analiza uwarunkowań wtórnego stresu traumatycznego w zawodach pomocowych na przykładzie funkcjonariuszy Policji w czasie pandemii Covid-19. W tym kontekście sprawdzano nasilenie objawów stresu wynikającego z wykonywanego zawodu w zależności od poczucia własnej skuteczności, lat służby i innych uwarunkowań. Kontrolowano także lęk przed zachorowaniem na Covid-19. Grupę badaną stanowiło 105 policjantów w wieku od 21 do 50 lat (M = 34,4; SD = 7,34). Analizy pokazały wiele istotnych zależności. Zgodnie z oczekiwaniami — stwierdzono istnienie związku między latami służby, poczuciem własnej skuteczności w pracy a natężeniem wtórnego stresu traumatycznego (STSD). Analizy pokazały także, że wraz z latami służby wzrastają objawy wtórnego stresu. Zauważono ponadto istnienie związku między analizowanymi zmiennymi a wiekiem oraz poczuciem własnej skuteczności. Wszystkie te uwarunkowania stanowią ważny element mogący stanowić podstawę planowania oddziaływań terapeutycznych w zawodach pomocowych. Zasadne jest również prowadzenie dalszych eksploracji w tym zakresie

Społeczności lokalne, funkcjonując w obrębie większej wspólnoty, są aktywne na stosunkowo małym obszarze. Rozpatrując pojęcie „bezpieczeństwo” przez pryzmat społeczności lokalnych, można stwierdzić, że jest to stan lub proces polegający na braku zagrożenia odnoszącego się do uwarunkowań lokalnych. Upowszechnianie się groźnych przestępstw oraz występowanie ich na szeroką skalę w wielu dziedzinach ludzkiego życia sprawiły, że zagrożenia te mogą być dominujące i wpływać znacząco na poziom bezpieczeństwa społeczności lokalnej. W artykule poddano analizie i ocenie czynniki oddziałujące na odczuwany stan bezpieczeństwa w powiatach grodziskim i pruszkowskim. Na podstawie analizy porównawczej obu badanych powiatów dokonano wyodrębnienia elementów wpływających na poczucie bezpieczeństwa społeczności lokalnej
The form of pedagogical thinking and acting and the experience of the paradoxicality of (self)education
Authors: Gara Jaroslaw , Stepkowski Dariusz
Published: March 2024

The object of research interest in the presented article is the form of pedagogical thinking and acting due to its connection with (self)education understood as an autonomous and personal-creative action of the addressee of educational interactions. By applying the philosophical-hermeneutic method of textual analysis and the model of the paradoxical structure of experience developed in existential philosophy of education, the authors have problematized three pairs of paradoxes that characterise pedagogical thinking and acting based on the affirmation of (self)education as an experience of existential paradoxicality.
University student’s internalising problems in the context of mental support in Poland – a Latent Profile Analysis
Authors: Frankowiak Joanna , Kotyśko Martyna
Published: March 2024

University students are exposed to a number of stressors that may affect their mental state. However, they do not receive sufficient psychological support, although the demand for it seems to be increasing. The current study examines what psychological profiles can be identified among students based on how often different subjective problems affect their functioning. The participants were 1,499 Polish students (63% women, ages 18-26, 7.4% had previously used professional support). Five profiles, differing in the intensity of the seven internalising problems, were identified in latent profile analysis: in crisis (IC, 2.1%); increased risk − with (IR-S, 7.5%) and without suicidal thoughts or behaviours (IR-NS, 8.8%); increased risk − experiencing tension (IR-T, 19.1%); and not needing support (NNS, 62.5%). Gender, place of origin, and the use of professional psychological support significantly differentiated the profiles. The results of the study allow us to draw indications that are important for the design of preventive measures in the academic environment. Particularly important is the implementation of activities that fall into the area of selective prevention, targeting IR-NS and IR-T groups (about 28% of survey participants).This is supported by the percentage of people belonging to these groups, as well as the nature of the difficulties they are facing.

Published: March 2024

Developments in the practice of inclusive education have led to significant increase of the expectations of a teacher having professional competence. The hitherto ‘two-track’ professional preparation of teachers for their professional role in mainstream and special schools should be replaced by the preparation that enables each teacher to achieve high educational outcomes for all students, including students with disabilities. The aim of the study was to analyze early education teachers’ assessment of their own professional competence to educate students with and without disabilities. A total of 130 teachers participated in the study, in which a diagnostic survey method (Perceived Teacher Professional Competence Questionnaire and Sociodemographic Questionnaire) was applied. The results indicate that both having a background in special education and having experience working with students with disabilities were associated with higher levels of evaluation of a teachers’ perceived competence to work with students with disabilities.
The relationship between parent’s mental health and professional functioning and students’ e-learning burnout and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Tomaszek Katarzyna , Muchacka-Cymerman Agnieszka
Published: March 2024

Student burnout is an issue rarely analysed in Polish literature, and even fewer studies take into account the knowledge of parents about such an educational problem. So far, only a few studies have focused on the psychological characteristics of parents related to school burnout, such as the quality of family relationships, attachment style, parental attitudes or upbringing style. However, there are no studies in the literature that take into account both the children’s and the parents’ psychological characteristics associated with school burnout. Therefore, the main aim of the current study was to test whether mental health and parental professional functioning characteristics are related to the student online school burnout syndrome during the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis covered 29 parent-adolescent dyads. In the entire group of respondents, the significant relationship between the student burnout symptoms perceived by parents and the online school burnout from the students’ perspective was confirmed. Student burnout with distance learning correlated positively with the mental health problems of parents and negatively with the well-being of students. Student burnout from distance learning did not significantly correlate with work flow and online job burnout of parents. The findings indicated the importance of the simultaneous evaluation of the problem of educational burnout by the parent-adolescent dyad. In this context, the active involvement of parents in preventive interventions regarding the mental health of their children can be an important factor contributing to minimising the risk of developing school burnout symptoms.n

Methods: CNKI, WANFANG, CBM, VIP, PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library and other literature databases were searched as comprehensively as possible. The two groups of researchers formulated inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria according to PICOS principles, screened literature, extracted data, and evaluated the quality of the selected literature according to the MINORS evaluation table. Meta-analysis was performed using data extracted from Review Manager 5.3 software. Results: A total of 12 literatures were included, with a total sample size of 490 cases. The long-term stability of Herbst appliance was analyzed by 11 indexes of SNA, SNB, ANB, ANS-PNS/SN, MP/SN, ANS-PNS/MP, OB, OJ, U1/ANS-PNS, L1/MP, U1/L1. The results showed that SNA, SNB, ANB, ANS-PNS/SN, U1/ANS-PNS, L1/MP, molar relationships were stable in the long run from the end of treatment to follow-up (P>0.05). The MP/SN, ANS-PNS/MP angles decrease, and the OB, OJ, and U1/L1 values increase (P<0.05). Conclusion: The long-term stability of the treatment effect of Herbst orthoses in the adolescent patients classified as Class II division 1 shows that the relative position of the upper and lower jaws is relatively stable, while the Angle of the mandibular plane relative to the anterior skull base plane remains relatively unstable.

Ethical Considerations in the Use of Endangered Species for Traditional Chinese Medicine Practices: A Case Study of the Pangolin
Authors: Su Linghui , Pan Yan
Published: March 2024

This comprehensive paper delves into the multifaceted ethical quandaries engendered by the incorporation of endangered species within the realm of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), spotlighting the pangolin as a pivotal case study. TCM, with its deep-rooted cultural and historical significance, has been a cornerstone of holistic health and healing practices for millennia. However, contemporary practices involving the use of endangered species, such as pangolins, for their perceived medicinal properties, have ignited a complex debate surrounding the sustainability and ethicality of such traditions. This investigation thoroughly assesses the conservation plight of pangolins, critically analyzing the existing legal frameworks designed to safeguard these creatures, alongside a meticulous examination of the ethical ramifications stemming from their utilization in TCM formulations. Through a nuanced exploration of these dimensions, this research not only highlights the pressing need for heightened conservation efforts but also scrutinizes the ethical considerations that must be reconciled within the context of TCM’s enduring legacy. By advocating for the adoption of sustainable and ethical alternatives, this paper endeavors to forge a harmonious balance between the venerable traditions of TCM and the imperative of biodiversity conservation. In doing so, it seeks to catalyze a paradigm shift towards more responsible and conscientious medicinal practices that honor both the rich heritage of TCM and the intrinsic value of the natural world.

Biological control of insect pests depends upon predating potential of natural enemies, which in turn relate to their functional response that is key to selection of a proper species for the biological control programs. The main aim of the study was to access the functional response of second instar grub of C. zastrowi sillemi (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) on Raya (Brassica juncea) aphid Lipaphis erysimi (Keltenbach). Five different predator: prey densities of aphids (1:50, 1:100: 1:150, 1:200 and 1:250) were taken and results indicated the type-II functional curve response by logistic regression analysis of C. zastrowi sillemi on L. erysimi. Hollings Type II functional response signifies that the rate of prey consumption by a predator rises as prey density increases, but eventually remains constant in spite of increase in prey density. The aphids consumption, search rate (a`) and maximum predation rate (1/Th) was recorded less (7.36, 0.06 and 0.40) as compared (7.56, 0.068and 0.467) when grubs fed on artificial diet. However, time taken to handle a prey by second instar grub was more (2.55) on natural diet but less (2.17) on artificial diet.
A CIDADE COMO ESPAÇO EDUCATIVO

Published: March 2024

A pesquisa em construção busca estabelecer um diálogo entre os espaços da cidade de Juiz de Fora, as redes de sociabilidade das populações LGBTQIA+ e suas memórias. Entendendo a cidade como um espaço educativo, buscamos traçar os rastros de memória estabelecidos por sujeitos LGBTQIA+ no espaço urbano, problematizando a noção de história hegemônica e entendendo esses sujeitos como potentes para pensar novas narrativas para a História, para o Ensino de História e para a Educação, que se relacionem com a memória desses grupos. Desse modo, dialogando com autores como Michel Foucault para pensar as relações de poder e os modos de subjetivação, propomos estabelecer um diálogo com narrativas do tempo presente, desafiando fatos consagrados, trazendo à tona outras histórias, a partir de uma revisão bibliográfica. A perspectiva teórico-metodológica que orienta nossas análises é a pós-estruturalista de inspiração foucaultiana, o que significa dizer que estamos interessados nas construções discursivas dos sujeitos, seus pertencimentos e a constituição de redes de sociabilidade nos espaços da cidade. Neste primeiro momento da pesquisa, nosso propósito é fazer um levantamento bibliográfico da produção nos campos da Educação e da História em torno das memórias LGBTQIA+ e as cidades.

This article focuses on researching the development of a monitoring and control system for various environmental parameters based on the Internet of Things (IoT) to assist farmers in increasing crop yield in tea nurseries in certain areas of Thai Nguyen province. The system utilizes several types of IoT devices such as humidity sensors, temperature sensors, and light sensors to monitor three parameters including humidity, light, and temperature for the plant nursery. Additionally, the study involves building a mobile application that displays information on smartphones to receive data sent from sensors placed in the nursery environment via the Internet. Users can then monitor real-time data and make decisions to control devices such as water pumps for tea irrigation or adjust sensor parameters (increase/decrease, turn on/off light, temperature in the nursery). The testing of the system has shown that it indirectly helps tea growers efficiently manage nurseries, increase labor productivity, and bring about high economic value.
