Novel SARS-CoV-2 variants have multiple mutations that may impact molecular diagnostics. The markedly conserved S2 subunit may be utilized to detect new variants. A comparison of 694 specimens (2019–2022) in Thailand using a commercial RT-PCR kit and the kit in combination with S2 primers and a probe was performed. Delayed amplification in ORF1ab was detected in one BA.4 omicron, whereas no amplification problem was encountered in the S2 target. There were no statistically significant differences in mean Ct value between the target genes (E, N, ORF1ab, and S2) and no significant differences in mean Ct value between the reagents. Furthermore, 230,821 nucleotide sequences submitted by 20 representative counties in each region (Jan–Oct 2022) have been checked for mutations in S2 primers and probe using PrimerChecker; there is a very low chance of encountering performance problems. The S2 primers and probe are still bound to the top five currently circulating variants in all countries and Thailand without mismatch recognition (Jun–Nov 2023). This study shows the possible benefits of detecting S2 in combination with simultaneously detecting three genes in a kit without affecting the Ct value of each target. The S2 subunit may be a promising target for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 variants with multiple mutations.

Published: February 2024

This study evaluated the immune response to vaccination against COVID-19 in 534 healthcare frontline workers in Vilnius, Lithuania. The incidence of COVID-19 was reduced significantly after vaccination started in the healthcare sector. SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were detected in groups V–VII and this level of antibodies was found to be effective in preventing COVID-19. Sustained immune response was achieved after two vaccination doses, which remained stable for up to 6 months. After the booster dose, antibody levels remained high for an additional 12 months. Although SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels decreased after 6 months, even lower levels of antibodies provided protection against the Delta strain. The booster dose distributed the antibody titer in the high-level antibody groups, offering maximum protection at 12 months. However, even individuals with high antibody titers were observed to contract COVID-19 after vaccination with a booster dose and 6 months in the presence of the Omicron strain. Unfortunately, high levels of antibodies did not provide protection against the new strain of COVID-19 (the Omicron variant), posing a risk of infection. When comparing the antibody titer of vaccinated participants without COVID-19 and those with COVID-19, the change in antibodies after vaccination was significantly lower in infected participants. Individuals with comorbidities and specific conditions had lower antibody levels.

Published: February 2024

Nucleic acid delivery through extracellular vesicles (EVs) is a well-preserved evolutionary mechanism in all life kingdoms including eukaryotes, prokaryotes, and plants. EVs naturally allow horizontal transfer of native as well as exogenous functional mRNAs, which once incorporated in EVs are protected from enzymatic degradation. This observation has prompted researchers to investigate whether EVs from different sources, including plants, could be used for vaccine delivery. Several studies using human or bacterial EVs expressing mRNA or recombinant SARS-CoV-2 proteins showed induction of a humoral and cell mediated immune response. Moreover, EV-based vaccines presenting the natural configuration of viral antigens have demonstrated advantages in conferring long-lasting immunization and lower toxicity than synthetic nanoparticles. Edible plant-derived EVs were shown to be an alternative to human EVs for vaccine delivery, especially via oral administration. EVs obtained from orange juice (oEVs) loaded with SARS-CoV-2 mRNAs protected their cargo from enzymatic degradation, were stable at room temperature for one year, and were able to trigger a SARS-CoV-2 immune response in mice. Lyophilized oEVs containing the S1 mRNA administered to rats via gavage induced a specific humoral immune response with generation of blocking antibodies, including IgA and Th1 lymphocyte activation. In conclusion, mRNA-containing oEVs could be used for developing new oral vaccines due to optimal mucosal absorption, resistance to stress conditions, and ability to stimulate a humoral and cellular immune response.

The Normal Schools, teachers' trainers par excellence and tradition in Mexico, over the years, have been transforming not only their physical structure, but also the ways in which they develop learning, through curricula more adapted to the social, academic and cultural reality of our country. From the founding of the first school for teachers at the beginning of the last century, to the teacher training institutions that we have today, the changes have been numerous with regard to the paradigms and educational theories that have been driven for the development of content. However, despite these changes, many teachers teaching in the Teaching Schools continue to use conceptualizations, forms of work and evaluation more oriented to traditional teaching approaches. In 10 years the educational programs of the Normals have been developed and updated, more than in the last 30 years. The results presented in this article are product of quantitative research with descriptive scope. With a population sample of 35 teachers from the Normal Schools of southern Sonora.

ПРОБЛЕМИ ТРАНСФОРМАЦІЇ ЦИВІЛЬНОГО І ГОСПОДАРСЬКОГО ЗАКОНОДАВСТВА УКРАЇНИ В УМОВАХ ВОЄННОГО СТАНУ
Authors: Мешкова К. О.
Published: February 2024

Метою наукової статті є розкриття дискусійних питань, пов'язаних із запровадженням декодифікації господарського законодавства і, відповідно, рекодифікації цивільного законодавства і можливих наслідків скасування Господарського кодексу України під час воєнного стану і в післявоєнний період. Автором проведено аналіз останніх наукових розвідок вітчизняних вчених в області господарського, цивільного права щодо досліджуваного питання, а також окремих положень ключового законопроєкту № 6013 "Про особливості регулювання підприємницької діяльності окремих видів юридичних осіб та їх об'єднань у перехідний період", який, на думку його ініціаторів, покликаний створити ефективний механізм здійснення права державної та комунальної власності та підвищити інвестиційну привабливість країни. Головним аспектом досліджування є коло питань рекодифікації цивільного законодавства, а саме чи своєчасні пропозиції вказаного законопроєкту для держави, в якій під час воєнного стану на першому місці постає завдання відновлення і стабілізації економіки, і до яких наслідків може призвести масштабна трансформація у сфері законодавства за таких умов. Автором надається низка зауважень, щодо доцільності запропонованих нововведень, наявності об'єктивних умов для такого правозастосування і відповідності таких пропозицій іншим законодавчим нормам, зокрема й конституційним. Зазначається, що процедура перетворення підприємств під час воєнного стану і в післявоєнний період є вельми скрутною і затратною (зокрема, і для державного бюджету), бо передбачає повну перебудову від переоформлення установчих документів до вирішення питань правового статусу майна підприємства і кількісного складу працівників. Автор дійшов висновку, що втрата систематизації замість модернізації та поступового реформування господарського законодавства може бути згубною для кризової економічної ситуації України, викликавши ряд істотних проблем як в умовах воєнного стану держави, так і в післявоєнний відновлювальний період. В першу чергу, така «турбулентність» буде мати негативні наслідки для чисельних суб’єктів господарської сфери, які продовжують здійснювати свою діяльність в кризових реаліях сьогодення в Україні.
ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ ГІДНОЇ ПРАЦІ В УМОВАХ РЕЖИМУ ВОЄННОГО СТАНУ
Authors: Кузнецова К. І.
Published: February 2024

Мета наукової статті полягає в дослідженні забезпечення працівникам права на гідну працю, безпечні і здорові умови праці для них в умовах режиму воєнного стану. Кожна людина хоче мати гідне життя, під час якого вона буде реалізувати свої необхідні потреби, та важливу роль у здобутті гідного життя грає праця. Автор аналізує з яким проблемами у сфері забезпечення гідної праці зіткнулися громадяни України та як економічна нестабільність, міграційні процеси вплинули на ринок праці, а також спроби подолання безробіття та страху за допомогою опанування нових професій, які виникли в результаті військових дій на території України. А також досліджено які професії, наразі, є затребуваними, а в яких спостерігається нестача кадрів. Також висвітлено приклади державних програм підтримки підприємницької діяльності в Україні. На думку автора основними показниками забезпеченості гідної праці населення є моральне задоволення від виконаної роботи, бажання підвищення професійної майстерності, збільшення продуктивності (ефективності) праці та належна матеріальна винагорода.
ПОНЯТТЯ ПЕРЕМІЩЕННЯ ПРАЦІВНИКА ТА ВПЛИВ ПРОЯВУ СВОБОДИ ВОЛІ СТОРІН ТРУДОВОГО ДОГОВОРУ НА ЕТАПІ ЙОГО УКЛАДЕННЯ НА КВАЛІФІКАЦІЮ РІЗНОВИДІВ ПРАВОВОЇ КОНСТРУКЦІЇ ЗМІН ТРУДОВОГО ДОГОВОРУ
Authors: Фатєєв Я. В.
Published: February 2024

Метою цієї статті є розгляд такого різновиду правової конструкції змін трудового договору як «переміщення працівника» задля визначення цього поняття та встановлення впливу прояву свободи волі сторін трудового договору на етапі його укладення на кваліфікацію різновидів правової конструкції змін трудового договору. Обґрунтовано, що вилучення можливого варіанту переміщення, що зараз міститься в ст. 32 КЗпП України – «зміна структурного підрозділу» не є доцільним, оскільки переміщення працівника охоплює лише ті варіанти змін, які не виходять за межі умов трудового договору та істотних умов праці. Встановлено, що свобода волі сторін трудового договору на етапі його укладення впливає на кваліфікацію різновидів правової конструкції змін трудового договору й наслідки можуть бути залежно від змісту трудового договору або у вигляді переміщення або у вигляді переведення. Відсутність припису про надання згоди працівника при переміщенні на інше робоче місце не знижує загальний рівень його гарантій, а є логічним механізмом у ланцюзі реалізації права на працю, адже за загальним правилом конкретне робоче місце не є таким істотним показником, що впливає на виконання роботи, від того він і не відноситься до обов’язкових умов трудового договору, а тому й не потребує згоди другої сторони трудових відносин.

Weaving a Bond between the Teacher and the Taught: Using ‘Voice Thread’ as Digital App for ESL Learners
Authors: Sana Niazi
Published: February 2024

Education in this digitalized world has witnessed many a roller coaster rides. The revolution brought about by digital technology has affected the education sector to completely change the face of conventional teaching and learning. With the spate in the use of digital apps in the academic arena, the self-paced and personalized learning and the concept of teachers as ‘new learners’ has apparently challenged the role of both the teacher and the taught. Furthermore, the stage set for ‘online’ teaching during COVID 19 pandemic acted as a catalyst which resulted post- COVID in innovative strategies in teaching like blended learning, hybrid learning etc. Mobile phones, laptops and other similar devices became connecting links between the teachers and learners even outside the classroom. Learners of English as second language were exposed to digital apps to enhance their language skills, but lacked the expertise for deriving maximum benefit. The challenge for teachers put them in the category of ‘new learners’ in using these apps for effective teaching learning environment. In addition to the problems faced by second language learners to express their thoughts and ideas in speech, the challenge of teaching effective oral communication has always been a matter of concern for the teachers. In the Indian scenario, the level of learners is so varied and diverse that creating a common teaching platform becomes difficult. Also, learning gets hampered due to students’ anxiety, hesitancy and lack of interaction. ‘Voice Thread’ as a digital app presents flexibility features which are student centered and learner friendly. Besides the learners using the app to record, upload and share their audios, the teachers could also become a connecting link to motivate their efforts and improve and enhance their speaking skills. The paper is an attempt to bring Voice thread to be effectively used in Indian classrooms for teaching effective oral communication.

Collaborative governance and irruption in Northern Basque Country: an irruptive governance model?
Authors: Ahedo Igor , Lekue Iago
Published: February 2024

The literature on democratic innovations is moving towards an agenda that recovers the weight of protest and social movements in democratic deepening. Reinforcing this approach, this text shows an experience in which institutional and social movement actors share a common agreement based on principles of collaborative governance strategy for territorial development. Its failure nurtures mutual trust between the two to work in a contentious dynamic that seeks institutional recognition of the territory. These two elements, an agreement based on principles and mutual trust, are at the basis of a nebula of interactions between local institutions and social movements which, through a variable geometry of agreements and disagreements, make up a scenario of irruptive governance that is allowing the democratic embeddedness and the democratic deepening of democratic driven governance dynamics in The North Basque Country.

Authors: Badri Moh. Turkan , Yunus M. , Rafiqie Musyaffa , Samsudin Mohamad Aso , Migfar Shokhibul , Djuwairiyah Djuwairiyah
Published: February 2024

Zakat, infaq, and shodaqah were once sources of state income to empower the people. This fact occurred in the early golden era of Islam, so zakat or obligatory zakat institutions at that time had difficulty distributing zakat because zakat was already evenly distributed and met the needs of its recipients. This fact is different from the facts today, where zakat, infaq, and shodaqah have not been able to empower the people. There is an idea to revitalize the function of zakat through raising awareness in the community. This study is a literature study by collecting literature supporting this idea's achievement. The results of this study show that empowerment of the people can be pursued again by providing awareness to the people to pay zakat and managers to carry it out according to applicable regulations, whether according to fiqh or legislation.
Gagasan Zuhud Modern dan Relevansinya dalam Upaya Peningkatan Etos Kerja Kaum Sufi
Authors: Islamiyati Rosi , Amallia Siti
Published: February 2024

Islam teaches about a principle of balance in life. Excessive inequality on one side will result in not being in line with the mission of Islamic teachings. Like the problems of the world that should be balanced with the problems of the hereafter. The idea of zuhud in classical Sufism was interpreted as an effort to distance oneself from worldly matters and to focus more on the afterlife. As a result, this greatly affects the work ethic of the Sufis who regard worldly matters as lowly. The spirit of worship is not in line with the spirit of increasing the economy. The dynamics of concept development in explaining the meaning of zuhud has shifted from time to time. Zuhud in modern times began to discuss social, political, legal and economic issues. This research is a qualitative research using historical analytical methods to review the thinking paradigm of the Sufis in interpreting zuhud from classical to modern times and relating it to contemporary problems as capital for efforts to improve the work ethic of Sufis. Thus a conclusion is obtained that the idea of modern asceticism does not mean refusing wealth that comes to him. Rather, wealth must be picked up as a bridge to its closeness to God. The spirit of work ethic is interpreted as a manifestation of sincerity which is the maqomat in Sufism. In the end, this is what causes Sufism to be known more openly. Not only discussed in mosques or quiet places, Sufism is now widely discussed in public in the form of seminars. In fact, the term "sufi with a necktie" has even emerged as a designation for Sufis who harmonize economic life with the affairs of the hereafter.

El objetivo de este texto es subrayar que la introducción del turismo en el espacio rural contribuye en la generación de una nueva ruralidad. Para ello presento el caso de estudio del parque ecoturístico “El Borbollón”[1], en donde he realizado trabajo etnográfico que me ha permitido conocer la experiencia de los miembros de la cooperativa Pese-ndeje acerca de su participación en la actividad turística. Lo que me ha llevado a establecer que el turismo rural no necesariamente llega a desplazar las actividades económicas tradicionales o a modificar las relaciones de género, aunque sí deriva en la génesis de conflictos por el territorio.

With an agency established to oversee and regulate GMOs, the extent to which field practitioners align with the biosafety and biosecurity measures of GMOs in Nigeria remains a critical question. This study seeks to explore the perspectives of field practitioners with GMOs concerns with the technology, political and safety aspects within the Nigerian context. This research evaluation was conducted over four months (March to June 2022). It involved the distribution of questionnaires to 234 individuals, encompassing biosafety, biotechnology, and biosecurity practitioners in Abuja, Nigeria. The loadings of items have intrinsic consistency within the range of 0.733 to 0.875. Majority of the respondents expressed the view that Nigeria politicians and public interest groups were concerned about the potential allergenicity and antimicrobial resistance associated with GMOs. Three predictors: Perception on GMOs (Wald=0.031), GMOs safety assessment (Wald=0.674), and Regulation of GMOs (Wald=0.004) at df=1 have no significant effects on attacks related to GMOs as 92.3% of the respondents claimed not to suffer any attack related to GMOs products. Working experience [F (4, 233) =0.228, p=0.923] interaction with perception on GMOs was statistically not significant. The political class and public interest groups worries about GMOs products (Covariance= 5.509) share positive but not significant correlation at p=0.057 with Regulation of GMOs (Covariance= 7.841). Finally, GMOs and their products exist in Nigeria alongside a reliable regulatory body which had put up biosafety and biosecurity guidelines in controlling all GMOs related activities in order to make the environment safer and boost the populace confidence in GMOs

Published: February 2024

هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى بيان أوجه "الحماية الجنائية للتنوع الاجتماعي من أفعال التمييز والكراهية وفقًا للقانون الإماراتي"؛ إذ إنّ المشرع الإماراتي أكّد على أهمية الحماية الاجتماعية ومكافحة جرائم التمييز والكراهية لما لها من آثار سلبية عديدة على المجتمع.
وقد اعتمدت الدراسة على المنهج الوصفي التحليلي وذلك من خلال تحليل نصوص القانون الإماراتي من خلال مرسوم بقانون رقم (2) لسنة 2015 بشأن مكافحة التمييز والكراهية، وكذلك تحليل ما أورده المشرع بشأن مكافحة هذه الجريمة مع الإشارة إلى بعض القوانين المقارنة.
وتوصلت الدراسة إلى العديد من النتائج، ومنها: أن دولة الإمارات حققت دون غيرها من القوانين العربية سبقًا قانونيًا؛ إذ شرعت قانونًا مستقلًا لمكافحة جرائم التمييز والكراهية رقم (2) لسنة 2015، وقد أوصت الدراسة بأنه يجب على وسائل الإعلام أن تغير ذلك التناول النمطي الذي يحرص دائمًا على إظهار الأمور في أبهى صورة ونشر المواد التي توضح ما يجب أن يكون، وأن تستبدل ذلك بتقديم العلاج لما هو كائن فعلًا؛ فقوة الإعلام لا يستهان بها واستخدامه بصورة إيجابية من شأنه القضاء على كثير من الظواهر السلبية لأفعال الكراهية والتمييز.
