Authors: JAIN ANKIT , SHARMA N S , NARANG DEEPTI , CHANDRA MUDIT , KAUR PAVITER , ARORA A K
Published: December 2023

Out of 84 samples collected from cattle and buffaloes with history of abortions and reproductive disorders 9 (10.71%) were positive by isolation and 12 (14.28%) were positive by PCR. The amplicons of 905bp and 223bp were amplified using genus specific F4/R2 and B4/B5 primers, respectively. Primers F4/R2 and B4/B5 are sensitive and specific to detect Brucella 16S rRNA and bcsp31gene. Prevalence of Brucella abortus was 14.54% in buffaloes and 13.79% in cattle respectively by PCR. Polymerase chain reaction proved to be a better technique with regards to sensitivity, specificity, safety, rapidity of analysis and easy of automation for detection of Brucella species in comparison to conventional methods. bcsp31 and 16S rRNA are conserved genes and may be good candidate for diagnosis of Brucella species.

Authors: KHAN MOHD AMEER , CHANDER MAHESH , BARDHAN D
Published: December 2023

This study was conducted to analyze the farmers’ perceptions of risk and risk management among the farmers who had insured and non-insured their dairy animals. The data originated from a questionnaire survey of insured (120) and non-insured (120) dairy farmers in Gorakhpur district of Uttar Pradesh. Farmers’ Socio-economic characteristics, risk perceptions and risk management strategies were documented. The average land holding, educational status and dairy farm experience of insured respondents was slightly larger than that of the non-insured dairy farmers. Epidemic livestock diseases, climate risk, marketing/sales risk, feed cost variability, Poor conception and delay in treatment/AI emerged as relevant sources of risk to the dairy farmers. The most relevant risk management strategy for the dairy farmers were vaccination of animals, having own agricultural land, having financial reserve, life insurance, livestock insurance and off farm employment. The intensity and domination of risk and risk management tool adopted by dairy farmers varied due to their personal perceptions of risk, socio-economic status of that farmer, farm type and institutional arrangements.

Published: December 2023

Data on 713 Sahiwal cows maintained at the Institute over a period of 49 years (1961–2009) were used to estimate the genetic and phenotypic parameters of first lactation 305- day or less milk yield and monthly test-day milk yields. The heritability estimates of first lactation 305–day milk yield and these 10 test day milk yields (6th, 35th, 65th, 95th, 125th, 155th, 185th, 215th, 245th and 275th day) were 0.3581, 0.0489, 0.2621, 0.2723, 0.2204, 0.1802, 0.2927, 0.2585, 0.3122, 0.3645 and 0.3492, respectively. All the heritability estimates were statistically highly significant except for 6th and 125th day test-yields. The genetic and phenotypic correlations of majority of test day milk yields with first lactation 305-day milk yield were higher, positive and highly significant. Higher estimates of genetic and phenotypic correlations amongst test-day milk yields and their higher association with first lactation 305-day milk yield as well as higher estimates of heritability of all these traits revealed that all the milk yields (test days and FL305DMY) can be used to evolve multi trait selection criteria for cow/sire evaluation in Sahiwal cattle.

Published: December 2023

The study was conducted to elucidate the changes in circulatory plasma levels of hepatic enzymes in vitamin E and zinc supplemented periparturient Sahiwal cows. Sahiwal cows (18) were selected from the institute herd, apparently healthy and in advanced state of pregnancy. The cows were randomly divided into 3 groups 6 cows in each, viz. control, treatment 1 (T1) and treatment 2 (T2). Control group was fed a control diet as practiced for pregnant cows in NDRI dairy farm. The treatment 1 (T1) group was supplemented with zinc @ 60 ppm/day/cow and treatment 2 (T2) group was supplemented a mixture of vitamin E @ 1000 IU/day/animal and zinc @ 60 ppm/ day/cow with control diet during day 60 prepartum to day 90 postpartum. Plasma was analyzed for alkalline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). ALP levels were differing significantly in all 3 groups. ALT level was significantly lower in treatment 2 as comparison to its level of both control and treatment 1 animals. AST level was also significantly lower in treatment 2 as comparison to its level of both control and treatment 1 animals. The study indicated that vitamin E and zinc supplementation lowers these hepatic enzymes in blood plasma, prevents oxidative damage of liver and improves the health condition of liver.

Football fans are individuals who promote, motivate, and inspire football. Players of football clubs have both positive and negative fanaticism in both the real world and social media, especially on Twitter. Twitter is one of the communication media. Attracting people worldwide, Twitter saw a record increase in global users, with 313 million monthly active users in 2016 alone; the majority accessed Twitter through mobile devices, accounting for 82 percent of users. Due to the multitude of users tweeting, the latest news and comments become significant worldwide. What happens becomes the main topic, and comments received from many users trigger trending topics on Twitter. This research aims to develop a classification model to predict whether tweets from stadium events are positive or negative from fan perspectives. The classification model is based on a Twitter dataset, and sentiment analysis of tweets was conducted using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm. The next step involved preprocessing, including case-folding, cleansing, translation to English, and sentiment labeling using VADER. Subsequently, in the preprocessing step 2, tokenization, stopwords, and stemming were applied. For modeling, classic algorithms such as Naïve Bayes and Support Vector Machine were used. The highest accuracy, 87.77%, was achieved using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm.

Authors: Silva Carmichelly Vieira da , Bezerra Paulo Sergio Silva
Published: December 2023

In this period of uncertainty and transformations that we are living, it falls to the teacher to have the mission of teaching the students in a way they can assimilate what they have been taught with day-to-day applications. For this reason, the contextualizing of the contents that have been learned is a great strategy to improve the teaching and learning process. This study aims to analyze the possibilities of the methodologies used to facilitate the process of learning through the interpretation and analysis of food labels. This project was developed at Centro de Ensino Benedito Leite, in classes from the third year of high school (or junior year), totaling 82 students. Primarily, a questionnaire was applied and after that, expositive classes, thematic workshops (quiz and experiments) were organized, exploring the interpretation of the technical terms associated with the labels and the identification of some organic functions present on them, with discussions corresponding to the benefits and the damages when present in great amount in foods. And, in the end, an evaluation of the activity developed was apprehended, it was not selected that 51% of the students never read the labels before buying, while 24% never read the labels and 22% read the labels, signaling that the application of the practice performed associated with the substances contained in the foods will motivate adolescents/teenagers to exploit the labels and it turns into a necessary action. From the diagnostic analysis of the data, it was possible to realize the importance in using methodologies that make students owners of systemic knowledge, doing activities that can associate the scientific knowledge and the students' reality, in a way that stimulates the interest for Chemistry. After the students participated in the methodological activities of the project and through the evaluation questionnaire, the students should assign their level of agreement with the following statement "Studying chemistry through the food labels facilitated my learning" 58% of students answered it as “completely agree” and 32% “agree more or less”, resulting in a meaningful majority of approval of activities developed, conveying that innovative methodologies help in the teaching-learning process, turning people into critical and independent citizens. Lastly, by means of all the study performed and the educational activities presented, it was possible to confirm that the use of the interpretation of the food labels can assist and promote the process of critical and scientific training in a way to obtain a more interactive, dynamic and inclusive education.

Authors: Lagos Rodrigo , Espinoza Matías , Cubillos Alejandro
Published: December 2023

This paper aims to validate and subsequently design a Risk Scoring System based on Lohman et al.(14) risk calculator for patients undergoing brain or spinal tumor surgery. Three models were tested: replication of Lohman's methodology, modification of risk groups, and development of a custom risk calculator. The replication of Lohman's instrument did not show significant correlations with adverse events in the study population. However, the adapted risk calculator demonstrated promising predictive performance for unplanned reoperation at 30 days, indicating good utility. The study suggests the potential applicability of the adapted risk calculator for predicting unplanned reoperation within 30 days for patients undergoing brain or spinal tumor surgery. Further research with larger samples and less missing data is recommended to confirm and enhance the utility of the proposed risk calculator. The results could be used to optimize decision-making and improve the quality of care for neuro-oncological surgery patients

Returns, Political Developments and Economic Forces: A Historical Perspective on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (Jse): 2010 - 2020
Authors: van der Merwe Dr. I (Ivan) , (Jesse) de Beer Dr. JA , (Nico) Keyser Dr. JN
Published: December 2023

To contribute to economic growth and development, a stock market, as a leading economic indicator, should reflect the macroeconomic fundamentals of a country by reacting to political, economic and other significant events via return adjustments for companies listed on the stock market. This article aims to provide a historical perspective on how political and economic events reflected in returns on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) between 2010 and 2022. An event study methodology establishes whether the top 20 best and worst weekly return periods on the JSE all-share index (ALSI) coincided with local and international events. The performance of the JSE during this period is dominated by events related to recovering economies and stock markets after the Global Financial Crisis, substantial influence by the U.S. and China, and the devastating effect of the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020. The study concludes that although the JSE clearly and immediately reflected global macroeconomic and political changes, it responded little, or for long, to local developments. However, these local developments and structural deficiencies collectively caused share market performance in South Africa to disconnect from the developed world since 2013, contributing to poor local market performance, reduced investor confidence and increased capital outflows.

Authors: Manukyan N.V. , Tamamyan G.N.
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide, accounting for
approximately 25% of all female cancer cases. Given the increasing impact of breast cancer in developing countries, early detection and timely treatment are crucial in reducing morbidity and mortality associated with the disease. Mammography screening is a well-established method for early detection, as it can identify breast cancer at an early stage when the chances of successful treatment are higher. Mobile mammography screening has the potential to significantly improve early detection and reduce mortality rates associated with breast cancer in developing countries. However, various challenges still impede the full realization of its benefits. This review article aims to identify and explore the challenges and prospects of implementing mobile mammography screening programs in developing countries, and to provide recommendations on how to overcome these obstacles. Overall, the future of mobile
mammography screening in developing countries can be promising, with opportunities for technological advancements, increased global cooperation, and ongoing research to further enhance the effectiveness of these programs. By seizing these opportunities and addressing the challenges related to accessibility, affordability, human resources, cultural and social factors, and infrastructure, mobile mammography screening can make a significant impact on the lives of women in developing countries and contribute to reducing global disparities in breast cancer care. Several successful mobile mammography screening projects in low- and middle-income countries showcase the potential for such programs to improve access to early detection services, raise breast cancer awareness, and ultimately reduce breast cancer mortality rates. By adapting
best practices and lessons learned from these projects, other low- and middle-income countries can develop and implement mobile mammography screening programs tailored to their unique contexts and resource constraints.
Elemen Zink sebagai Penopang Pertumbuhan dan Kehidupan Janin Intrauterin
Authors: Pribadi Adhi
Published: December 2023

Zink (zinc/Zn)adalah mineral penting yang diketahui mempunyai fungsi fisiologis yang berpengaruh terhadap sistem kekebalan tubuh. Zink memainkan peran yang sangat penting dalam berbagai fungsi tubuh manusia, termasuk sintesis protein dan metabolisme asam nukleat. Zink juga merupakan salah satu nutrisi dasar yang dibutuhkan selama kehamilan untuk perkembangan normal dan pertumbuhan janin di samping mikronutrien lainnya seperti besi dan kalsium. Kekurangan zink selama kehamilan menyebabkan dampak permanen pada bayi baru lahir seperti gangguan pertumbuhan, abortus spontan, cacat bawaan, dan luaran kehamilan yang buruk. Zinc memainkan peran yang sangat penting dan kritis dalam berbagai fungsi tubuh manusia termasuk sintesis protein dan metabolisme asam nukleat. Dampak defisiensi Zn sangat menonjol bahkan pada kehidupan janin intrauterin. Studi suplementasi Zn pada populasi yang pernah dilakukan sebelumnya menunjukkan hasil yang bertentangan pada berbagai outcome kehamilan. Defisiensi Zn menyebabkan potensi peningkatan stres oksidatif dan berakhir dengan kematian sel. Beberapa penelitian yang dilakukan mengenai status Zn pada ibu hamil menunjukan kadar Zn yang rendah pada neonatus dengan status kecil pada masa kehamilan serta peningkatan kasus preterm. Suplementasi zink oral merupakan upaya potensial untuk mengurangi risiko kelahiran bayi dengan berat badan rendah dan pada akhirnya mencegah morbiditas dan mortalitas bayi baru lahir yang terkait dengan kondisi ini. Fungsi Zn pada ibu termasuk mendukung pertumbuhan uterus selama kehamilan dan menurunkan potensi preeklamsia, namun bukti yang mendukung suplementasi zink secara rutin masih belum tersedia. Dampak defisiensi Zink relatif buruk selama kehamilan, meskipun demikian bukti penelitian mengenai kebutuhan suplementasi rutin yang diberikan pada semua ibu hamil masih menjadi perdebatan, karena manfaatnya yang secara metaanalisis tidak terlalu nyata. Suplementasi lebih disarankan pada populasi risiko tinggi agar tidak terjadi outcome yang buruk pada kehamilan.

Testing Parallel Trends in Differences-in-Differences and Event Study Designs: A Research Approach Based on Pre-Treatment Period Significance
Authors: RIVEROS-GAVILANES John Michael
Published: December 2023

Traditional tests for parallel trends in the context of differences-in-differences are based on the observation of the mean values of the dependent variable in the treatment and control groups over time. However, given the new discussions brought by the development of the event study designs, controlling for observable factors may intervene in the fulfilment of the parallel trend assumption. This article presents a simple test based on the statistical significance of pre-treatment periods which can be extended from the classic Differences-in-Differences up to event study designs in universal absorbing treatments. The test requires at least two pre-treatment periods and can done by constructing appropriate dummy variables.© 2023 The Author(s). Published by RITHA Publishing.

Published: December 2023

Object detection and classification systems can be devised to support visually challenged persons in communicating and understanding their environments. Such systems use computer vision methods for classifying and detecting objects in real time. Deep learning (DL) can be adopted to help visually challenged persons in object classification and detection tasks, allowing them to communicate and understand their surroundings more efficiently. By leveraging DL for object detection and classification, visually challenged individuals can receive real-time data regarding their interaction, surroundings, and overall independence and facilitate their navigation. With this motivation, the study presents a novel Stochastic Gradient Descent with Deep Learning-assisted Object Detection and Classification (SGDDL-ODC) technique for visually challenged people. The main intention of the SGDDL-ODC technique concentrates on the accurate and automated detection of objects to help visually challenged people. To obtain this, the SGDDL-ODC technique focused on the development of the optimal hyperparameter tuning of the DL models effectively. To accomplish this, the SGDDL-ODC technique follows the YOLOv6 model for object detection purposes. To adjust the hyperparameter values of the YOLOv6 method, the SGD model can be applied. At the final stage, the deep neural network method can be exploited for the classification of the recognized objects. A series of simulations were performed to validate the improved performance of the SGDDL-ODC approach. The simulation results illustrate the superior efficiency of the SGDDL-ODC technique over other techniques under diverse datasets in terms of different measures.

Experiência religiosa:
Authors: Souza Waldir , Chemin Marcia Regina Chizini , Fernandes Márcio Luiz
Published: December 2023

Seres humanos têm necessidade perene de encontrar respostas significativas para a sua vida: as respostas implicam a espiritualidade/religiosidade/religião e as experiências culturais. Nesse contexto objetiva-se discutir na perspectiva ético-fenomenológica a atuação pública das pessoas que detêm conhecimento teológico em vista de colaborar para a vida na sociedade plural do século XXI.  A literatura escolhida para pensar crítico-reflexivamente a questão tem base fenomenológica, teológico-moral, e a perspectiva pública da Teologia. Observa-se que medo e culpabilidade estão ligados às “falsas imagens” de Deus; não são de poucos os prejuízos e as dificuldades causadas por esta equivocada experiência. Resulta que convém reconsiderar, em muitos casos, a vida moral a partir de um ethos profético, tornando mais crível e acolhedora a presença do Divino no mundo. Ou seja, requer sair da Academia e/ou dos Templos para estar junto à sociedade que convive em interculturalidade e inter-religiosidade.

Spannend wie einen Krimi erzählt der bekannte Bibelwissenschaftler, wie der Gott JHWH aus der Wüste mit seinen Anhängern in das Kulturland einzog und sich dort in einer Welt vieler Göttinnen und Götter in einem dramatischen Prozess von Aneignung und Abgrenzung als einziger Gott durchsetzen konnte. War es eine Geschichte der Gewalt? Spielten Erfahrungen und Argumente eine entscheidende Rolle? Was geschah mit den Göttinnen? Auf der Grundlage historischer Fakten erschließt der Autor verständlich und anschaulich die biblische Glaubensgeschichte als eine nachvollziehbare Sinn- und Diskursgeschichte. Motive, ohne die auch die moderne Lebenswelt nicht verstanden werden kann, werden in ihrer Entstehung und bleibenden Bedeutung erschlossen: Herrschaft, Liebe, Gewaltenteilung, Sohn Gottes, Bilderverbot, Opfer, Tempel, Seelsorge und vieles mehr.
In Auflösung
Authors: Hoff Gregor Maria
Published: December 2023

Die katholische Kirche ist von Rom bestimmt. Das gilt geschichtlich mit den Aposteln Petrus und Paulus, vor allem aber mit der Herausbildung der Kultur des römischen Katholizismus. Im 16. und 19. Jahrhundert nahm dieses Modell von Katholizität eine besonders wirksame Form an. Der Catechismus romanus versprach Eindeutigkeit in der Lehre, die römische Rechtskultur garantierte Verlässlichkeit und das Missale Romanum gab dem universalen Selbstverständnis der katholischen Kirche liturgisch Raum. Der Papst sicherte diese Glaubenswelt im Zeichen seines Jurisdiktions- und Lehrprimats Zeit und Raum übergreifend.Auch wenn der Vatikan ein Attraktionsort anschaulicher Kircheneinheit bleibt: die religionssoziologischen Umbrüche der digitalen Weltgesellschaft dynamisieren dieses Bild. Die Koordinaten katholischer Kirchenorganisation verschieben sich vom Zentrum in die Ortskirchen. Es handelt sich um die religionskulturelle Auflösung des römischen Katholizismus. Dass dieser Prozess von Rom forciert wird, zumal im Zeichen einer synodalen Kirche, erweist sich als dramatische Ironie und zugleich als programmatisch.

Buradan hareketle bu çalışma, yoksullaştıran büyüme ve ekonomik karmaşıklık arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. 2003-2020 yılları arasındaki yıllık verileri içeren 95 ülke üzerinde gerçekleştirilen analizler, eş bütünleşme ve Panel ARDL yöntemleri kullanılarak yürütülmüştür. Bulgular, ekonomik karmaşıklığın uzun vadede ekonomik büyümeyi açıklamada önemli bir rol oynadığını göstermektedir. Ayrıca, ekonomik büyümenin net ihracat üzerinde olumsuz bir etkisi olduğu belirlenmiştir; yani ekonomik büyüme artışı ithalatı artırırken ihracatı azaltmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, çalışmada ekonomik karmaşıklık ile tüketim harcamaları arasındaki ilişki konusunda kesin bulgulara ulaşılamamıştır. Bu bulgulardan hareketle, yoksullaştıran büyümenin varlığına ilişkin kesin kanıtlar elde edilemediği ifade edilebilir.

İnsani Yardımlardan Savunma Sanayi İşbirliğine: Türkiye-Çad İlişkilerinin Derinlemesine Analizi
Authors: BAYKUŞ Ahmet Burak , ALİYEV Pelin
Published: December 2023

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye-Çad ilişkilerinin son yıllarda ivme kazanmasını sağlayan faktörlerin neler olduğunu tespit etmektir. Çalışmada iki önemli alt faktörün varlığına dikkat çekilmektedir. Bunlardan birisi, Türkiye’nin Afrika politikasında yaşanan dönüşümdür. Türkiye, Afrika politikasını yeniden şekillendirerek küresel rekabetin yoğun olduğu kıtaya kapsamlı bir yaklaşım sergilemeye başlamıştır. Türkiye, kıtadaki tüm ülkelerde ilişkilerini geliştirerek etkisini artırmaya çalışmaktadır. Bu politika çerçevesinde Çad ile ilişkilerin geliştirilmesine son derece önem verilmektedir. Bir diğer alt faktör ise, Çad’ın siyasi, ekonomik, kalkınma, güvenlik temelli sorunlarına kalıcı çözümler bulma isteğidir. Bu noktada bu iki ülkeyi bir araya getiren ana faktörün her ülkenin kendi içinde yaşadığı değişimin ortaya çıkardığı iş birliği ihtiyacı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. İki ülkenin yardım eden-yardım alan ilişki modelinin ötesinde siyasi, ekonomi, eğitim, kültürel, güvenlik ve sanayi gibi birbirinden farklı alanlarda iş birlikleri geliştirdikleri gözlenmiştir.
Acute Effect of Kinesiological Tape on Pain and Mechanical Properties of the Trapezius Muscle in Neck Pain Due to Smart Phone Addiction
Authors: ATICI Emine , TORLAK Mustafa Savaş
Published: December 2023

This study aimed to assess the short-term effects of inhibitory kinesiologic tape (KT) and sham tape on neck pain and muscle tone in individuals with smartphone addiction. Forty-two healthy participants were randomized to receive either KT or sham tape application to their upper trapezius muscle (UTM). Smartphone addiction was assessed using the Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS), and pain severity was measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Muscle tone and stiffness were evaluated using a myotonometer. No significant differences were found in pain or muscle mechanical properties between the groups after treatment. However, KT recipients had significantly higher tone and stiffness in their left trapezius muscle compared to their right trapezius muscle (p < 0.05). Additionally, right trapezius stiffness was significantly higher in participants with SAS scores of 100 points or more compared to those with SAS scores below 100 points (p < 0.05). Finally, left trapezius elasticity increased significantly in participants with SAS scores of 100 points or more (p < 0.05). Overall, the study findings suggest that short-term application of KT to the UTM may reduce neck pain in individuals with smartphone addiction.
Erityisopettajan pedagoginen työ varhaiskasvatuksen sosiaalisissa systeemeissä
Authors: Syrjämäki Marja , Heiskanen Noora
Published: December 2023

Lapsella on oikeus varhaiskasvatuksen erityisopettajan palveluihin. Varhaiskasvatuksen erityisopettaja toimii osana varhaiskasvatuksen sosiaalisia systeemejä eli vuorovaikutuksessa varhaiskasvatusyksiköiden ja -ryhmien lasten keskuudessa, aikuisten kanssa sekä lasten ja aikuisten kesken vuorovaikutuksessa. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan varhaiskasvatuksen erityisopettajien kokemuksia ja havaintoja pedagogisesta työstä varhaiskasvatuksen sosiaalisissa systeemeissä. Esa Saarisen ja Raimo P. Hämäläisen lanseeraaman systeemiäly -käsitteen neljä ulottuvuutta toimivat lähtökohtana tutkimuksen aineistona käyttämillemme, erityisopettajien (N=14) kirjoittamille kuvauksille, joiden kautta olemme tunnistaneet ja tulkinneet vuorovaikutteista pedagogista toimintaa. Aineistoa analysoitiin temaattista analyysia mukaillen. Tulosten mukaan erityisopettajan pedagogisessa työssä yhdistyvät keskittynyt havainnointi, pedagoginen toiminta ja yhteisen ymmärryksen luominen, jotka kaikki tapahtuvat asiantuntijuuden viitekehyksessä. Varhaiskasvatuksen erityisopettajien kirjoituksissa havainnointi näyttäytyy työtä läpileikkaavan moniulotteisena työtapana, joka yhdistyy erityisopetukseen ja konsultaatioon. Tulokset havainnollistavat varhaiskasvatuksen erityisopettajan pedagogisen työn ulottuvuuksia ja mahdollistavat työn kehittämisen tilanteessa, jossa varhaiskasvatuksen erityisopettajan työn käytännöt muotoutuvat paikallisissa ja ammattilaisten henkilökohtaisissa käytännöissä.

El català a Catalunya, al País Valencià, a les Illes i a les seves ciutats grans el 2021
Authors: Torres Pla Joaquim
Published: December 2023

Aquest text es basa en l’explotació d’una macroenquesta efectuada per l’INE el 2021 en l’àmbit estatal, en la qual, entre moltes altres qüestions, es fan preguntes sobre llengües. Les mostres corresponents a cada comunitat autònoma són considerables i també hi ha mostres suficients de cada una de les ciutats de més de 50.000 habitants. Les dades que analitzo aquí es refereixen al català com a llengua inicial i a la capacitat d’expressió oral en aquesta llengua, a Catalunya, al País Valencià i a les Illes Balears, així com a les 41 ciutats de més de 50.000 habitants que contenen. Faig servir un Índex de Vitalitat Lingüística Intergeneracional que, aplicat a cada àmbit territorial, és un indicador de l’avenç o el retrocés de la llengua a mesura que baixa l’edat. Trobo que els principals factors que expliquen les divergències territorials en la situació i la dinàmica del català són el valor social de la llengua i la intensitat de la immigració. A més d’altres qüestions més puntuals, com el desplaçament massiu de barcelonins a altres ciutats o l’alt grau de concentració dels catalanoparlants en determinats barris dins d’algunes localitats.

Islamic Sharia establishes inheritance rules in a very regular and fair form. It stipulates the right to property ownership for every human being, both men and women, in a legal manner. Islamic Sharia also stipulates the right to transfer ownership of a person after death to his heirs from all his relatives and lineages. Islam details and explains through the Qur'an al-Karim the share of each heir with the aim of realizing justice in society. Inheritance according to Civil Law is inheritance law in the form of a set of legal provisions that regulate legal consequences. Traditional inheritance law is actually the law of passing on wealth from one generation to its descendants.

With support from the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), the Coordinating Body on the Seas of East Asia (COBSEA) piloted training and capacity building among low income women in Untia, Indonesia, in partnership with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Indonesia. The pilot aimed to overcome the pollution challenges faced by this remote community by enhancing the capacity of Untia’s Materials Recovery Facility (MRF). The pilot was implemented with the social enterprise ‘Rappo’ which trained women in valuable sewing skills to create reusable bags decorated with intricate patterns using hard-to-recycle plastic bags. The initiative created livelihood opportunities for women in the remote community, enhanced their understanding and skills, and improved their wellbeing. The case study is part of a series developed by COBSEA with partners in the region aimed at sharing lessons learned and replicating good practices on integrated plastic waste management in remote and island communities in the East Asian Seas region. All COBSEA case studies are available on the web platform of the Regional Node of the GPML.
