Authors: Gumper Małgorzata
Published: December 2020

Na ostatnie lata istnienia Rzeczypospolitej Obojga Narodów przypadły liczne rozmowy, toczone przez księcia Michała Kleofasa Ogińskiego z królem Stanisławem Augustem. Zapis trzech z nich zamieszczony został w książęcych pamiętnikach, ujawniając, jaką tematykę poruszano podczas spotkań, oraz co wyznaczało kierunek wzajemnej relacji dwóch wielkich polityków. Wyraźne zbliżenie personalne nastąpiło w okresie konstytucyjnym, na krótko przed oraz tuż po 3 maja 1791 r. Sejm grodzieński z 1793 r. postawił magnata przed koniecznością uznania swej współodpowiedzialności, i zmotywował go do obrony praw narodu politycznego, niezależnie od konsekwencji. W artykule przeanalizowano przemiany w podejściu obu postaci do sytuacji państwa oraz siebie nawzajem.

Powrót Wojciecha Kętrzyńskiego do polskości
Authors: Jasiński Janusz
Published: December 2020

Ojciec Wojciecha Kętrzyńskiego (1838-1918), Polak pochodzenia kaszubskiego, pełniący w Lecu (Giżycku) obowiązki żandarma, nigdy nie wyparł się swojej polskości. Natomiast matka Wojciecha była rodowitą Niemką i naturalna koleją rzeczy ona miała większy wpływ na wychowanie dziecka. Jednak Wojciech mówił dwoma językami: niemieckim i gwarą mazurską. Literatura naukowa przez długie dziesięciolecia powtarzała, że pod wpływem domu oraz w czasie lat szkolnych spędzonych w Lecu, później w Poczdamie i Rastemborku (Kętrzyn) uległ on całkowitej germanizacji. Dopiero mając 18 lat (1856), dowiedziawszy się z listu siostry, że ojciec był Polakiem, on też podjął decyzję (Entschluss), o przynależności do narodu polskiego. Tymczasem według moich badań proces dochodzenia do świadomości narodowej trwał dość długo. Po pierwsze nigdy nie zapomniał o polskim rodowodzie ojca, nawet w Poczdamie. Natomiast w Rastemborku zaczytywał się w polskiej literaturze historycznej i to pod jej wpływem postanowił otwarcie przyznać się w 1956 roku do polskości. Zresztą tomik jego młodzieńczej poezji Aus dem Liederbuch eines Germanisierten („Ze śpiewnika pewnego zniemczonego”) potwierdza, że był niemczony. Powolny proces dochodzenia do polskości potwierdzają jego bliscy znajomi, np. lwowski historyk Władysław Semkowicz.

Znaczenie manewru w działaniach wojennych w Prusach Wschodnich w 1914 roku
Authors: Łach Wiesław Bolesław
Published: December 2020

Autor przedstawia znaczenie manewru na przykładzie bitwy pod Tannenbergiem, która rozgrywała się w sierpniu 1914 r. na dużej przestrzeni południowej części Prus Wschodnich. Uważa się ją za jedyną bitwę I wojny światowej, którą należy zaliczyć do najbardziej klasycznych porównywanych do Kann. Dowódca 8. Armii gen. Hindenburg i jego sztab przeprowadził manewr oskrzydlający, który zmusił Rosjan do przyjęcia bitwy w warunkach dla nich niekorzystnych. Szczególnie zostały wykorzystane warunki terenowe, które pozwoliły wydzielić stronie niemieckiej niewielkie siły do obrony miejsc trudno przekraczalnych, a skupić główne siły na dwustronnym manewrze. Zastosowany manewr oskrzydlający, udał się gdyż zastosowano układ obrony operacyjnej, pozwalający w końcowej fazie na uderzenie ześrodkowanych wojsk w kierunku umożliwiającym oskrzydlenie i zmuszenie do poddania korpusów rosyjskich. Z tego też powodu bitwa ta współcześnie jest podawana, jako przykład znajomości własnego terenu przez broniących i całkowity brak jego rozpoznania przez atakujących.

Concerns of Distressed Communities Towards Male Circumcision
Authors: Sonjani Zolani
Published: December 2020

ABSTRACT The relevance and sacredness of contemporary traditional male circumcision (TMC) as a rite has come under scrutiny in recent years by both stakeholders and the communities practising the rite. To examine the concerns of the distressed communities, the study adopted a qualitative approach complimented by exploratory, descriptive, and case study designs as its research design. A sample of three key informants, and purposively selected men and women from the Bisho community aged 30 years and over were utilised for the study. Participants shared an array of concerns and distresses associated with the rite, including 1) deterioration of the relevance of rite, 2) absence of family support systems, 4) portrayal of perfidious behaviour by initiation graduates, and 5) family and social responsibility proving to be a burden too heavy for initiation graduates. The study recommends the need for raising awareness on retrogressive aspects of TMC, the practical implementation of legislation by the government, and the strengthening of psycho-social support programmes for communities practising the rite.
Life stories of caregivers looking after a child with autism in Vietnam
Authors:   Binh Thuan Province Vocational College, Vietnam, Nguyen Dung Thi
Published: December 2020

This study aimed to explore how autistic children form the lives of people who were raising them through life stories shared by caregivers. The research participants included 11 Vietnamese caregivers who were taking care of children diagnosed with autism. A preliminary interview prior to the study was conducted to determine caregivers who would participate in the research and in-depth interviews were carried out with volunteer caregivers. To determine aspects of life stories that shape caregivers’ lives, the study implemented the "Life Story Interview" list. Grounded theory and the constant comparative method, effective research strategies were used to collect and analyze the data. Interviews were conducted in the Vietnamese language. As a result, 6 broad categories of themes were identified related to caregivers’ life stories: (1) psychological consultation, (2) emotions, (3) worries, (4) duties, (5) essential virtues, and (6) hopes. Analyses exposed that although caregivers whose children were autistic underwent a wide range of challenges in their daily lives and had concerns for the future of children, they did a big shot to reorganize their family lives, required themselves highly, and never stopped hoping for a better life.

The Effect of Manufacturing Technology Type on Cost Structure: Evidence from Egypt
Authors: Abulezz Mohamed E. , Sherief Ramy G.
Published: December 2020

We investigate the effect of manufacturing technology type on cost structure in Egypt. We argue that firms adopting advanced manufacturing technology are associated with less rigid and more flexible cost structures. A sample of 40 Egyptian manufacturing firms listed on EGX over a 6-year period (2011-2016), producing 240 company-year observations is tested. Overall, evidence supports the view that firms with advanced manufacturing technologies have more flexible cost structure. The result is robust to alternative specifications by replacing cost of goods sold (COGS) by operating expenses and introducing firm size as a control variable. Our finding continues to hold after robustness tests. Our finding is expected to fill up a gap in the extant literature in two ways. First, this study provides evidence on the effect of manufacturing technology type on cost structure in a developing country (i.e., Egypt). Second, unlike the extant literature, which predominately uses case study and refer to anecdotal evidence, the presumed relation between the manufacturing technology type and the cost structure is systematically examined in a cross-sectional design. Thus, the research findings may be more generalizable.

Published: December 2020

This study examines the requirement of obtaining prior practical experience toobtain a license to provide professional assurance services. Disciplinary sanctionsimposed by the American institute of certified public accountants (AICPA) is used tocompare differing state experience requirements required for licensing. The study usesthe per capita number of sanctions for substandard professional service as a proxy forthe quality of professional service being provided in each state. The results revealedconsistent associations between the length of minimum state experience requirementsfor licensure and the proxy. While the results suggest that experience provides societywith a benefit, the results do not quantify it and the justification for adopting a specificexperience requirement still requires a judgmental assessment of the trade-off betweenthe costs that the requirement imposes and the benefits it will bestow
The Impact of Contingency Factors on the Sophistication of Costing Systems: Evidence from Tunisia
Authors: Moalla Hanen , Mezouel Achref
Published: December 2020

This research investigates the impact of contingency factors on the sophisticationof costing systems in Tunisia. Sophistication is analyzed by using the following criteria:ABC systems, full costing systems, the number of cost pools in the first stage of allocationand the number of cost drivers in the second stage of allocation.

Data were collected through a questionnaire next to 68 companies having a costingsystem. Findings show that contingency factors affect the sophistication of costingsystems and that company’s strategy and product diversity are the most important factors.These two contingency factors are related to different dimensions of the sophistication.Moreover, big-sized companies and manufacturing companies are more likely to adoptABC. In addition, the importance of cost information positively affects the use a fullcosting system and companies with high percentages of indirect costs have a greaternumber of cost pools.

This piece of research is one of the rare studies dealing with the characteristics ofcosting systems. Previous research dealt basically with ABC and are mainly conducted indeveloped countries. This study adds to knowledge since it is conducted in a developingcountry and investigates the sophistication of costing systems.

Istraživanjem se pokazuje nesklad između naziva i obilježja ove organizirane aktivnosti
na temelju čega se propituje stanje i potencijali razvoja Akcije, ali i muzejske edukativne
djelatnosti. Kustosi etnografskih zbirki i muzejski pedagozi u hrvatskim etnografskim
muzejima koji su sudjelovali u istraživanju doprinijeli su određivanju problematike vezane za muzejske edukativne programe kao i određivanju njezinih razvojnih potencijala.
Anthropologist Turned Politician
Authors: Šabić Dijana
Published: December 2020

Exploring the concept of ethnographic vacillation which Hage identifies as a “state of constant movement between political participation and analytical observation” (Hage 2009), this paper aims at tackling the following questions: how does one write the (political) emotions into one’s ethnographic work? Should one do that at all? When does one stop being an engaged anthropologist and become a political activist with some knowledge of anthropology? And furthermore, to what extent should anthropologists even get engaged with the politics? In an attempt to answer these questions, I will critically examine my own position as an engaged anthropologist turned politician, following the notion that when one’s solely observant participation reaches a point at which the anthropologist deems it as - not enough, (s)he is welcome and often obliged to engage.

Double multiple stream tube theory coupled with dynamic stall and wake correction for aerodynamic investigation of vertical axis wind turbine
Authors: VU Anh Ngoc , Pham Ngoc Son
Published: December 2020

This study describes an effectively analytic methodology to investigate the aerodynamic performance of H vertical axis wind turbine (H-VAWT). An in-house code based on double multiple stream tube theory (DMST) coupled with dynamic stall and wake correction is implemented to estimate the power coefficient. Design optimization of airfoil shape is conducted to study the influences of the dynamic stall and turbulent wakes. Airfoil shape is universally investigated by using the Class/Shape function transformation method. The airfoil study shows that the upper curve tends to be less convex than the lower curve in order to extract more energy of the wind upstream and generate less drag of the blade downstream. The optimal results show that the power coefficient increases by 6.5% with the new airfoil shape.
Authentication in E-learning systems: Challenges and Solutions
Authors: Huan Luu Quang , Nguyen Duy-Minh , Pham Hoang-Anh , Huynh-Tuong Nguyen
Published: December 2020

Digitization is gradually penetrating all aspects of modern society. As it changes the way people communicate, technology has revolutionized education and training in the 21st century. With the advantages of reasonable costs and flexible study time, online training is increasingly seen as an attractive alternative to the full-time on-campus training model. To assure quality of distance training and learning, it is crucial for the online learning management system to make sure the person accessing the course resources and performing learning activities is actually enrolled in the course. One of the important factors determining the security of this process is user authentication. In most cases, this role is done with a password, but the evidence shows that this method is easily compromised. While there are many alternatives available such as biometric methods, user-challenging methods, smart card methods, etc. The strong development of technology that requires confidentiality and authentication must be tightly coupled. A qualitative survey of user authentication systems is being used in today's E-learning systems and a comparative study of various different authentication mechanisms presented in this paper. There are many methods of user authentication for online learning systems, but each method will have different advantages and disadvantages and has not completely solved the challenges of user authentication. The issue of user authentication still has many challenges that need to be solved thoroughly to improve the security of the system as well as the trust of users and society. This paper provides an overview of our approach and recommendations to address the mentioned issues. In addition, we propose a number of feasible approaches to improve user data privacy as well as improve the effectiveness of the authentication process in the online learning system.

Published: December 2020

ABSTRACT:

“AIM: To assess the effect of three lining materials; flowable composite, flowable compomer, and light-curing glass ionomer cement (LCGIC) on microleakage in Class V restoration using packable composite restorations.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: A standardized class V cavity was prepared on buccal surface of 40 young premolar teeth with the cervical margin extending 0.5 mm below the cementoenamel junction, into the dentin. All the samples were randomly divided into 4 groups according to the lining material used: Group I- Control; Group II- flowable composite; Group III- LCGIC and Group IV- flowable compomer. The restored teeth were thermocycled and immersed in 2% methylene blue solution for 24 hours. Each tooth was then sectioned along buccolingual direction. The dye penetration of the occlusal and gingival margins of each section was evaluated by a single observer using a stereomicroscope and statistically analyzed using Kruskal Walis Test and Mann-Whitney U Test.

RESULT: Maximum dye penetration score for Group 1, Group 2 was 3 and Group 3, Group 4 was 1. (p<0.05)

CONCLUSION: Flowable compomer and light cure glass ionomer cement as intermediate lining material can reduce microleakage under packable composite.

Keywords: Compomer, flowable composite, light-curing glass ionomer cement, microleakage, packable composite.”

Authors: Sayed Suheir A. M.
Published: December 2020

Background: There is more to depression than just feeling sad or blue. It is a prevalent but extreme mood disorder which requires care. It causes serious symptoms, such as sleeping, eating, and working, that influence how you feel, think, and handle daily activities1.

Depression among older adults is a common concern, but it is NOT a natural part of aging

Aims: To assess the prevalence of depressive symptoms and to determine the risk factors of depression in a community sample of older women in Taif city, Saudi Arabia.

Methods and Material: A cross-sectional, community survey. A structured questionnaire was designed based on a review of the literature. It includes five parts Socio-demographic data, Social, Physical, Financial, and Spiritual Risk factors, questionnaire was randomly distributed through a direct interview with a sample of old women living in Taif, their ages ranged from 60 and 79 years, responded people were 300.

Results: Out of 300 females respondent there were a common age group (60 -64) years with the percentage of (38%), most of the participants were secondary school education  (46 %), and Most of them were widows (49.3%), In my search, I found more than half of study participant had depression (58.3%)  and the most risk factor led to depression was a social problem (46.6%) the physical problems were the second factor leading to depression symptoms, (34.6%), especially diabetes mellitus  (16.7%), only( 12.2%) had financial problems, and very few have had a spiritual problem (6.6%), there was a statistically significant association between a social problem and depression symptoms ( P = .033), with no significant relation between advance age (P = .530),  level of education and depression symptoms, ( P = .809).

Conclusion: The depressive symptom was prevalent among community resident old women, a social and marital status it leading causes to the occurrence of depression and the growing old does not affect the prevalence of depression. my results should encourage community nurses to adopt a brief instrument such as GDS-15 and CGA to early screen depressive symptoms. Future studies are needed to identify the appropriate measures to treat elderly women in the recent community with depressive symptom and their impact on her function and health outcomes.

Published: December 2020

Lichen Planus is a chronic immunologically mediated mucocutaneous disorder with varied clinical manifestations. The condition might be associated with multiple causative or exacerbation factors. An interesting association of Oral Lichen Planus with Diabetes Mellitus and vascular hypertension is called as Grinspan's syndrome. Since its inception has been an arena of interest. It has appeared very lucrative to many researchers as it lacks clarity and enhanced ambiguity. A 65 year female patient came with a complaint of burning mouth and difficulty in swallowing since 1 year with H/O Diabetes Mellitus since 8years and hypertension since 2 years. Malignant transformation is the most significant complication of long standing and non healing Lichen Planus. Repeated follow up and biopsies are mandatory for prevention and early detection of malignant transformation.

Authors: Kumar N. Ranjith , Prakash G. Sheela , Goud B.Vinay
Published: December 2020

Introduction: Marginal adaptation is one of the most important and weakest links in the success of cast restorations. There is some indication that the quality of marginal adaptation may be as important to gingival health as marginal location.01

Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the marginal integrity and occlusal discrepancy of base metal alloy copings by recasting method using conventional casting technique.

Methodology: The 30 test samples were grouped into 3groups as Group I: 10 samples will be prepared using 100% new co-cr alloy.Group II: 10 samples will be prepared using 50% new alloy and 50% reused alloy.Group III:10 samples will be prepared using 25% new alloy and 75% reused alloy. The patterns obtained were casted with an induction casting machine and Co-Cr copings, the vertical gap and internal gap/occlusal discrepancy of all the 30 Co-Cr cast copings are obtained, with the use of stereo microscope.

Results: Paired t test and tukey Kramer tests were conducted to determine p value. The p value for marginal integrity  was found to be less than 0.01 which indicates that there is a significant difference between groups on buccal,lingual,mesial and distal surfaces . p value for occlusal discrepancy was found to be greater than 0.01 indicating that there is no significant  difference between groups on occlusal mesial surfaces while distal side it is less than 0.01 which is significant.

Summary and Conclusion: The patterns were prepared with inlay casting wax on the custom-made stainless steel die. 30 of the patterns were invested with a metal ring during investment.  The vertical marginal gaps of three groups cast copings obtained by conventional casting were statistically significant to each other with higher value in group 2 followed by group 3 and group 1.

Objectives: Achieving optimal outcomes in deaf children’s communication skills depends on the availability of early specialized high-quality intervention services. Early intervention services through teletechnology could respond to this need. The development of teletechnology has led to the creation of new formats for family-centered services. Such measures could address the hearing, speech, and language needs of young deaf children. This study aimed to investigate the effects of teleintervention for providing early interventions to the families of newborns and deaf children. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test/post-test and a control group design. In total, 30 deaf children aged 0-2 years, and their parents were selected by purposive sampling method. Then, they were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The experimental group received the teleintervention program through the internet in 36 individual and group sessions (24 group sessions & 12 individual sessions). The control group received the same intervention program directly at the rehabilitation centers for deaf children. To investigate the hearing and pre-verbal skills, the Preverbal Communication Skills Scale and the Listening Skills Scale were used. The obtained data were analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Results: The provided teleintervention program was effective in increasing the scores of hearing and pre-verbal skills in the studied samples. The intensity of the effect on hearing and pre-verbal skills were 0.57 and 0.28, respectively. Discussion: The present study demonstrated the effect of teleintervention program on hearing and pre-verbal skills in the explored subjects. It also indicated that the provided teleintervention was more effective than direct intervention. Therefore, implementing this program is recommended for therapists, the parents of deaf children, and rehabilitation centers for this population.

Objectives: The present research aimed to determine the effect of time-use training on the quality of time management in the mothers of girls with Intellectual Disability (ID) attending special schools.  Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a control group design. In total, 80 mothers (40 mothers in the intervention group & 40 mothers in the control group) of children with ID (age range: 6-13 years) were studied. The study participants were selected by cluster sampling method. The required data were collected using a demographic data questionnaire and the Mothers’ Time Use Questionnaire (MTUQ). A time management training program was provided in a one-day workshop for the intervention group. The obtained data were analyzed in SPSS using Independent Samples t-test, Paired Samples t-test, and Chi-squared test. Results: After the intervention period, the quality of time management of the mothers in the intervention group significantly increased, compared to the controls (P<0.05). Discussion: The current research findings suggested that time-use training improved the quality of time management in the studied subjects. Therefore, educational interventions related to time management are recommended for the parents of children with ID. Besides, paying attention to this vulnerable group should be among nurses’ responsibilities.

Objectives: The present research aimed to evaluate the relationship of supra patella effusion with pain and disability in patients with knee osteoarthritis by Ultrasonography (US). Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 60 patients with knee OA (Mean±SD score of body mass index: 29.81±5.64 kg/m2 and age: 50.48±7.57 years) were selected by nonprobability sampling method. Supra patella effusion was evaluated using an US. All study subjects completed the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) for pain and disability outcomes, respectively. To evaluate the relationship between effusion, disability, and pain, the Pearson’s correlation coefficient was employed.  Results: There was a poor but significant relationship between the area of effusion (r=0.27, P=0.03), the thickness of effusion (r=0.32, P=0.01), with pain. No correlation was found between the trace of effusion (r=-0.08, P=0.5) and pain. The area of effusion (r=0.1, P=0.17), the thickness of effusion (r=0.08, P=0.51), and the trace of effusion (r=0.0, P=0.9) were not correlated with disability.  Discussion: The effusion of supra patella was slightly correlated with pain. In contrast, the effusion of supra patella demonstrated no correlation with disability.

Objectives: Improving balance and motor function in the elderly for preventing falling and its irreparable consequences has attracted the attention of many researchers in the field of aging. The purpose of the present is to investigate the effect of an exercise program based on Anticipatory Postural Adjustments (APAs) on postural control and motor function of the elderly. Methods & Materials: In this experimental study conducted in 2017, the study population consists of 38 eligible male elderly people with a history of falls at least once in the last six months living in Isfahan, Iran in two groups: 18 in the test group (mean age =70.4±3.2, mean height=65.3±6.2 cm, mean weight= 65.3±4.2 kg) and 15 in the control group (mean age =69.6±3.1 years, mean height =167±5.5 cm, mean weight =67.3±6.8). A foot-scan device was used to measure their postural control, and the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test was taken to measure their motor function. Data were analyzed in SPSS v. 20 software using repeated measures ANOVA at the significance level of P≤0.05. Results: The exercise program significantly improved the mean postural control scores in anterior/posterior direction from 28.1±6.2 to 20.5±2.4 (F=8.21, P≤0.05), in medial/lateral direction from 17.1±1.5 to 13.2±2.9 (F=13.4, P≤0.05), and in overall from 312.4±21.2 to 285.8±17.5 (F=10.02, P≤0.05); It also improved the mean TUG test score from 13.3±2.1 to 10.1±1.0 (F=16.02, P≤0.05). The experimental group showed a better performance than the control group after exercise in TUG test and postural control parameters (P≤0.05). Conclusion: An 8-week exercise program focused on APAs can be effective in improving postural control and motor function of the elderly.

Vehicular traffic is the major problem in metropolitan cities because traffic congestion is increasing rapidly at signalized intersections; it results in chronic situation in dense downtown areas. Traffic congestion is also major problem for smooth transportation. So, here we adopted a mechanism which minimizes traffic problems and that mechanism is called hydraulic machine. Hydraulic machine is the mechanisms which lift the things up and down at a particular height. Our purpose is to create a mechanism which lifts the footpath at signalized intersection up and down when there is more traffic at signalized intersection. We studied about the various congested signalized intersection areas and then selected Bhim Square for our study. We collected the peak hour traffic data using videography survey method and categorized the vehicles into different classes. Calculate the queue length at bhim square using normal footpath and again calculate the queue length for same traffic data by using hydraulic foothpath. On comparing the reduction of queue length percentage we observed that hydraulic footpath is more preferable than the normal footpath for congested traffic at signalized intersection, because it reduce approximate 60% queue length. Also, hydraulic footpath gives extra space at signalized intersection and it helps to increase service volume.

Technology and Science have made Human life addictive to luxury but still there exists poor people who are trying to find innovative ways which make the communication process easier. Regarding to the World Health Organization, about 1 million people are dumb and 300 million are deaf in the world. Whereas; the communication is one of the most important issues for deaf and dumb people. This work aims to propose a smart application named "Jusoor" to improve the communication process and bridge the gap between the deaf, dumb People, and society. The proposed application provides the user with a dictionary that contains many vocabularies with videos explaining the way that the word is indicated, the most important sentences used in public places (markets, parks, restaurants, etc.), Emergency calls that enable recognizing the type assistance needed with the feature of locating the person which makes it easier to reach and provide the assistance, and service of communication with sign language experts. The proposed work was analyzed using the Unified Modeling Language (UML), Firebase, XML and Java programming languages.

Published: December 2020

Drug delivery via the oral mucous membrane is considered to be a promising alternative to the oral route. Sublingual route is a useful when rapid onset of action is desired with better patient compliance than oraly ingested tablets. In terms of permeability, the sublingual area of the oral cavity (i.e. the floor of the mou) is more permeable than the buccal (cheek) area, which in turn is more permeable than the palatal (roof of the mouth) area. A rapid onset of pharmacological effect is often desired for some drugs, especially those used in the treatment of acute disorders. Sublingual tablets disintegrate rapidly and the small amount of saliva present is usually sufficient for achieving disintegration of the dosage form coupled with better dissolution and increased bioavailability.
