Violence in schools is now reaching very worrying proportions in Gabon. Since schools are
places of multiracial diversity, the problem is of considerable practical interest. In order to
deal with it, the government, with the support of numerous institutions including
UNICEF, is working to redefine new targeted strategies to curb the phenomenon, if not to
eradicate it systematically. The strengthening of the security auxiliary service is one of the
main responses to this concern. However, in practice, this measure is not very effective in
the face of verbal violence. The present study is part of a pedagogical approach consisting of
preventing verbal violence between learners in the classroom. The pedagogical translation
of La niña que curó el racismo by Inongo Vi-Makomè responds to this concern.

Many studies have been conducted to establish the connection between exercise and telomere length, but still have varying results. Telomeres are reiterative DNA sequences (5'-TTAGGGn-3') which function to protect genomic DNA from enzymatic degradation. Telomere length can be used as a biomarker of aging because its repetitive structures are known to be highly relevant in the cellular aging process and the shortening of telomeres that occurs with increasing age is considered as an important contributor to aging in organisms. Several factors that affect telomere length are oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, BMI, lifestyle such as smoking, alcohol intake, stress, increased insulin resistance, and exercise. This study aims to determine the correlation of exercise at different intensities on telomere length. The method used in this study is internet search for journals and articles through several websites. The eligible criteria include studies in English language published between 2012 and 2022. The studies that report the correlation of different intensities exercise on telomere length were selected for the systematic literature review. As a result, the people who perform moderate to vigorous physical activity more in their leisure time, have longer leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and long-term resistance training may exert a protective effect on muscle telomere length in the elderly. Several studies have reported a correlation between prevention of leukocyte telomere length shortening and exercise at a certain intensity successfully.

Published: November 2022

Chronic Care Management (CCM) is a billable service that pharmacists can provide either in person or via telephone in ambulatory clinics or community pharmacies. Pharmacists may use this service to expand current roles in patient care and add billable services to an ambulatory care practice.  The number of clinics employing CCM is steadily increasing, and to date, there has been limited information published to aid pharmacists who are considering implementing these services.  The purpose of this study is to compare enrollment success in a clinic-based, pharmacist-led CCM service using three recruitment strategies to enroll patients: in person, telephone, and provider referred recruitment.  This pilot study examined the success of three recruitment strategies using 94 patients eligible for CCM services in a rural health clinic. The primary outcome was successful enrollment in the CCM program with differences in recruitment strategy enrollment success examined using a Chi-square test. Overall, 42 of 94 patients (45%) were successfully enrolled in the CCM program with no statistical difference appreciated between telephone, in person, and provider referred recruitment. Nearly 33% (14/42) of patients enrolled in person, 40% (17/42) enrolled via telephone, and 26% (11/42) enrolled when referred from a provider.  Ten patients (11%) declined enrollment outright. The remaining 42 patients were hesitant to enroll and requested follow up.  In conclusion, there was no statistical difference in CCM enrollment success with in person, telephone, or provider referred recruitment, although more patients were enrolled via telephone than with the other two strategies.  Pharmacists implementing new CCM programs may tailor their recruitment and enrollment strategy to suit their specific needs.

The Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) is part of the local government in a decentralized system. The responsibilities of the DPRD include three main things: development supervision, budgeting, and legislation. All three functions are carried out within the framework of community representation. The implementation of these three functions is supported by the DPRD secretariat device, whose duties/functions and authorities have been regulated in Government Regulation Number 18/2016 concerning Regional Devices. The duties and responsibility of the DPRD secretariat are to provide services to members of the DPRD. This study aims to analyze the quality of services from a new public service (NPS) perspective. For this reason, the study develops ten new public service indicators. The sampling technique was carried out using purposive/judgment sampling. Purposive/judgment sampling is a technique based on the researcher's consideration of several suitable characteristics relating to the sample members needed to answer the research objectives. All indicators are tested using Importance Performance Analysis, one of the statistical techniques to test the degree of importance of an aspect. To answer the formulation of the problem, this study provided a questionnaire (Likert scale) to fifty DPRD members. As a result, out of the ten NPS indicators, the courtesy indicator is included as the top priority that the DPRD secretariat of the Tangerang Selatan Municipality must complete. In addition, tangible indicators, competence, communication, and customer understanding are included in the low priority. Further elaboration of these results is presented in this paper

This research was conducted to find out how the implementation of IMB (building permit) granting in various forms of IMB and to find out the service inhibiting factors in the issuance of IMB in Sungai Penuh City. This research was conducted using a quantitative descriptive method combined with a qualitative descriptive method. The survey population of this study was the entire community of applicants for IMB at the office of DPMPTSPTK Sungai Penuh City in 2019, while the sample from this study was part of the population. The sampling technique in this study used the Slovin formula with a significance level of 0.05. From the study on the implementation of IMB granting, it was found two factors inhibited the process, namely the time factor and the completion factor. The time factor is the worst factor with the lowest average score (2.76) of the six service standards. In general, the delay in the IMB issuance process is due to the officer concerned rarely being in the area or outside the area. While the cost factor has the second lowest average score (2.87) of the six service standards. It was found that almost all requests/respondents who complained about the tariffs or levies imposed were quite high.
About the Time of the Adoption of Islam by the Population of the Southern Ural
Authors: Antonov Igor' Vladimirovich
Published: November 2022

The object of the study is the adoption of Islam by the population of the Southern Ural. The subject of the study is the question of the time of the adoption of Islam in the territory of modern Bashkortostan – the largest region of the Southern Urals. The author examines in detail such aspects of the topic as the historiography of the issue, the spread of Islam among Bashkirs according to narrative sources – information from foreign travelers and Bashkir legends, archaeological sites with a Muslim funeral rite. In historiography, the question of the time of the adoption of Islam by Bashkirs has been repeatedly revised in the direction of antiquity. Narrative sources link the Islamization of Bashkirs with the activities of missionaries from Volga Bulgaria and the Golden Horde. In archeology, the spread of Islam on the territory of Bashkortostan is associated with the Chiyalik culture of the XII-XIV centuries. Special attention is paid to the funerary monuments of the nomadic population of steppe origin, dated XIII-XV centuries. Having settled in the land of Bashkirs, the nomads converted to Islam. A special contribution of the author to the study of the topic is a comparative analysis of the "pagan" and Muslim burials of the XIII-XV centuries, identified within the republic. A total of 84 burials were recorded. Of these, 31 burials were performed according to the "pagan" rite, dated XIII-XIV centuries., 53 burials were performed according to the Muslim rite, dated XIV-XV centuries. It is concluded that the archaeological data correspond to written sources reporting the adoption of Islam in Bashkiria in the XIV century. The novelty of the study lies in clarifying the dating of the three main stages of Islamization of the region's population. The penetration of Islam into the Bashkir environment occurs in the pre–Mongol period, the spread of Islam – in the Golden Horde period, the establishment of Islam - after the XV century. The process of Islamization ends with the disappearance of the burial burial rite and the transition to the modern Muslim funeral rite. Voluntary entry into Russia guaranteed Bashkirs freedom of religion.
The Crisis around Ukraine and Security Issues in the Visegrad Four Countries
Authors: Peshkin Vitalii Mikhailovich
Published: November 2022

The subject of the study is the impact of the Ukrainian crisis on foreign and defense policy V4. The statements and actions of the Visegrad Group on the Ukrainian issue, which were ahead of the European Union's activity in their efficiency, are being investigated. However, the consolidation of the "quartet" countries has already been seriously tested in the first months and even weeks of the crisis, which will subsequently allow us to talk about the existence of a significant split between the participants. In addition, V4's activities regarding the Ukrainian crisis were mostly in the nature of a reaction to the events taking place, which did not offer any constructive strategies for resolving the process. The novelty of the scientific research in the framework of this article is expressed in the analysis of normative legal acts, statements of the Visegrad Group, demonstrating the different degree of response of V4 to various stages of the Ukrainian crisis, as well as the change in approaches to the defense policy of the "quartet" countries in the specified period of time. Also, the previously unexplored Action Plan of the Visegrad Group Defense Cooperation will be presented in the 2020 edition, which will indicate a wide range of challenges and threats, some of which do not directly relate to the security of the "quartet" countries, which indicates the actual disappearance of a purely regional component in the defense policy of the Visegrad Group.
The Aesthetics of the Ugly in Postmodernism (V. Sorokin's Novel "Blue Fat" and Mo Yan's Novel "The Land of Wine")
Authors: Yu Linghong
Published: November 2022

The article discusses aesthetic guidelines in postmodern literature. The emphasis is placed on the analysis of the aesthetics of the ugly in the novels of V. Sorokin "Blue Fat" and Mo Yan "The Land of Wine", the similarities and differences of the work of the two writers are revealed. Sorokin and Mo Yan are from two completely different countries, nevertheless their literary style and language are similar. The creativity of both is marked by the presence of multidimensional literary experiments. In "Blue Fat" and "The Land of Wine" there is an abundance of violent scenes, as well as detailed descriptions of violent bloody scenes. Sex scenes are also widely represented in both novels. The description of physiological details and nauseating details also occupies a significant part in both novels. In addition to the aesthetics of the ugly, both writers are heirs of the classical literature of their countries. Both writers create their own artistic world based on the aesthetics of the ugly. Unlike Sorokin, Mo Yang is obsessed with depicting the comparison between good and evil, beautiful and ugly. According to Mo Yan, the world is cruel, but evil can never prevail over good. In "Blue Fat" there are many Chinese elements of everyday life, which gives the novel an oriental flavor. Mo Yan also admits to the influence of Russian classical and Soviet literature on him: in the novel "The Land of Wine" the words of I. Lenin and L. Tolstoy are quoted. All this, as it was shown in the article, proves that the works of Vladimir Sorokin and Mo Yan have existing similarities. The heritage and development of the traditional literature of their country, the reinterpretation of modern society and its values, a self-sufficient artistic world based on the aesthetics of the ugly, is accompanied by an abundance of literary experiments, which allows both writers not only to show their talents in literary circles, but also to successfully demonstrate their own national mentality.
Personal Resources as a Factor of Biological Age: Individual Typological Approach.
Authors: Berezina Tatiana Nikolaevna
Published: November 2022

Criteria of personal resources are proposed: 1) a person can manage them, 2) they are complementary to everyday life, 3) there is evidence of their effectiveness in the literature. Thirteen personal resources have been identified. The test subjects are men from 36 to 60 years old, women from 36 to 55 years old. Methods: assessment of biological age in terms of health indicators, questionnaire of personal resources, methods for assessing individuality. An analysis of variance was carried out, and automatic neural networks were also used (“regression” method). Results. For women, the most effective resources are: achievements, communication, kindness, needlework, intelligence, sports, creativity, spirituality and humor, and for men, sports, needlework, kindness. The influence of other resources depends on the frequency of use. There is a U - shaped dependence (creativity and spirituality in men), an inverse U - shaped dependence (order - in women), quasi-periodic dependences. 3 patterns were found: 1) The use of personal resources affects the aging index, generally lowering it; 2) For some resources, the aging index decreases with frequent use, rare use is ineffective, on the contrary, it can take up free time and distract a person from other activities; 3) For other resources, on the contrary, the aging index decreases with an average level of use, often ineffective, like a complete absence; 4) In women, the aging index is more influenced by general psychological personal resources, less often by typological features. In men, the aging index is more influenced by typological and individual characteristics.
On the Diagnosis and Development of Creativity Based on the Ontology of the Game
Authors: Shimelfenig Oleg Vladimirovich
Published: November 2022

The subject of the study is to understand the phenomenon of creativity, and the purpose is to provide recommendations for its diagnosis and development of creative abilities. Creativity is currently one of the most sought-after skills according to the forecasts of analysts of the World Economic Forum. The methodological basis of the research is the theoretical and practical results known in science in the psychology of creativity and the story-game concept of reality. Particular attention is paid to the identification in the works on the definition and diagnosis of creativity of their ontological connection with the story-game paradigm, which also intersects meaningfully with studies on situational semantics. A comparative and critical analysis of the basic concepts in these approaches is carried out. The main conclusions of the study are as follows. When teaching any subject, it is useful to diagnose the type of thinking of the audience, periodically offer various tasks that require little time, but develop analytical and creative thinking at the same time, requiring the use of broad categories, synthetics of perception of the environment and a high level of cognitive flexibility, the ability to understand and form metaphors, free association of meanings, interpretations of any text, picture, phenomenon; that is, in fact, it is teaching a creative and playful attitude to various problems. The story-game approach, both in training and in any field of activity, makes it possible to optimally maintain a balance between following the patterns – the "rules of the games" of nature and society and original, creative behavior.

Authors: Kupriianov Viktor
Published: November 2022

The article deals with the comparative analysis of the projects of the science of science (Naukovedenie/Naukoznanie) proposed by the Soviet philosopher I. A. Borichesky and by the Polish-American philosopher and sociologist F. Znaniecki . The author points out that both projects with similar tasks arose almost simultaneously in the 1920s in different socio-economic and political contexts. To analyze the projects, the author uses the concept of social and cognitive institutionalization proposed by R. Whitley. To consider the social institutionalization of science about science, the author gives the information about Polish and Soviet/Russian organizations for the science studies created at the beginning of the XXth century. The author gives an analysis of cognitive institutionalization based on the reconstruction of F. Znaniecki's and I. A. Borichevsky's projects. The article concludes that Znaniecki and Borichevsky proposed projects of a completely new science, the subject of which should be science itself. In these projects, science Naukovedenie/Naukoznanie were understood as an independent science, irreducible to any other field of scientific research. It was assumed that Naukovedenie/Naukoznanie consider science in all its diversity. The author shows that what is important in the projects of Znaniecki and Borichevsky is the idea of the practical application of science of science. The author for the first time in the research literature analyzes the little - known project proposed by F. Znaniecki, linking it with the general intellectual context of the epoche when it appeared. The novelty of the article also includes a comparison of the ideas of I. A. Borichevsky and F. Znaniecki.

Apesar de sua ênfase na linguagem bíblica, o fundamentalismo presbiteriano ultrapassou dos debates teológicos, posicionando-se como dispositivo de conservação da ordem social, como legitimador dos grupos políticos dominantes do Brasil e de apoio ao golpe civil-militar de 1964, declarando-se como um crítico das ideias do campo da esquerda. A partir de uma análise da História Cultural, as fontes apontaram para uma preocupação dos líderes fundamentalistas quanto à situação social do Brasil, diante do avanço dos movimentos sociais no início da década de 1960 e da possibilidade de uma transformação inspirada no modelo cubano. Sendo assim, com as análises consideramos que se instituiu uma condição de vigilância quanto às práticas no âmbito dos protestantismos que pudessem ser interpretadas como subversivas para a estrutura social capitalista.

O objetivo geral do artigo é descobrir se a atuação das religiosas na Amazônia contribui para o surgimento de uma sociedade mais justa, fraterna e igualitária, decorrente do exercício da fé e da cidadania. A abordagem metodológica é qualitativa de cunho bibliográfico. O primeiro passo foi descrever as atitudes de algumas mulheres mencionadas na bíblia, que inspiraram a vida religiosa feminina em todos os tempos e lugares. O segundo passo foi identificar, em alguns documentos da Igreja, diretrizes para uma atuação pastoral que aproxime fé e vida. Uma especial atenção foi dada ao Documento de Santarém, que motiva para uma “encarnação na realidade” e uma “evangelização libertadora”. Por fim, a partir do estudo de obras que tratam sobre os temas fé e política, foram dados exemplos concretos da atuação de religiosas na Amazônia depois do Concílio Vaticano II. Textos do Concílio Vaticano II, da tradição libertadora da Igreja latino-americana, da Igreja na Amazônia e do Magistério do Papa Francisco foram referenciais teóricos importantes no aprofundamento da dimensão social da fé presente neste artigo. Os resultados desta pesquisa apontam para o fato de a Vida Religiosa feminina está na vanguarda da ação evangelizadora na Amazônia, não medindo esforços para defender todas as formas de vida ameaçadas.

Availability of reliable information on extent and impact of flood becomes critical for faster and efficient disaster management planning. Access to near realtime satellite data from optical and microwave sensors on Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform helps in rapid flood inundation mapping. Also, integration of Optical and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data from Sentinel series of satellites helps in detection of landuse/landcover features like Built-up, Agriculture Lands and Water bodies under flooding. The GEE platform provides extensive library tools for simultaneous pre-processing of SAR images and cloud free optical images from multiple satellites. In this research, Differential Thresholding and Differential Smoothening algorithms developed in GEE have been applied on Pre and Post SAR images for automatic identification of flood inundation areas. The inundated areas thus delineated were validated with inundation extents provided by the National Database for Emergency Management (NDEM). The methodology of automation developed in this study is applied to severe floods occurred in Kerala, India during August 2018. The sensitivity of polarization on mapping accuracy is estimated using Vertical- Horizontal (VH) and Vertical-Vertical (VV) modes available with Sentinel-1 data. The result indicates that VV mode of polarization provides better accuracy of 96% than VH mode. The coding is implemented in GEE environment with automation to provide extent of flood inundation for efficient management and mitigation planning during flood disasters.

Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycaemia. It has been classified as one of the main pathologies that promotes the most severe and fatal forms of COVID-19. Although there are nowadays synthetic molecules for the regulation of this disease, their disastrous side effects still open up prospects for the search of new and healthy molecules of therapeutic interest. This study aimed at evaluating the inhibitory effect of peptides extracts produced during the cultivation of a Lactobacillus plantarum strain with probiotic properties. The peptides extracts were obtained by thermal hydrolysis of protein extracts at 70°C or 80°C for 10, 20 and 30 min. The potential hypoglycaemic activity was examined by testing their inhibitory effect on amylolytic enzymes. Our results showed that the studied proteins hydrolysates, when used at 0.024 mg (biomass) or 0.156 mg (growth broth), were capable of total inhibition of amylolytic enzymes activity. The biomass peptides showed higher inhibition rate compared to 95% obtained with 0.050 mg of acarbose, a potent and widely used anti-diabetic inhibitory. This study clearly shows that the investigated protein hydrolysates contain interesting inhibitory peptides that deserve further investigations for their real use as bioactive inhibitors of diabetes regulating enzymes.

Mucormycosis is an angio invasive infection caused by Mucorales fungi, which is mostly observed in diabetic and immunocompromised patients. The infection can be classified into cutaneous, rhino-orbito cerebral, gastrointestinal, disseminated and other rare pulmonary types. The overall mortality rate due to this infection has increased, even with aggressive treatment. Moreover, there has been a major mucormycosis outbreak in India following the deadly second wave of COVID-19 cases in the country. The epidemiology of mucormycosis is evolving due to advances in therapeutics and early diagnostics tools. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the epidemiology, pathogenesis and types of mucormycosis along with an update on the recent advanced diagnostics tools and therapeutics to combat the rare, yet lethal infection.

Nanoremediation is an innovative branch of nanotechnology that employed promising sustainable remediation strategies to control pollution from contaminated sites. Bionanoremediation is an important way of remediation in which nanoparticles are biologically synthesized using plant parts or microbes. This is an effective solution to mitigate the challenge of environmental pollution. Diverse kinds of heavy metal substances and chemicals associated with agriculture can be removed from contaminated locations using nanoremediation. Various technologies have been used in environmental remediation such as adsorption, absorption, chemical reactions, photocatalysis and filtration for the removal of contaminants from the environment. The big surface area to volume ratio of nanoparticles leads to enhance reactivity. Nano-materials are also involved in cleanup of various pollutants from diverse environmental locations such as air, water and earth. The combination of nanoremediation with other bioremediation technology has proved to be a valuable tool for the elimination of pollutants, as their synergetic effect can raise the effectiveness of the applied process/technique used for environmental remediation. Hence, sustainability assessments of nanoremediation methods are also used with particular attention paid to the health and environmental consequences.
