Eclipse detection on variable star Ao Serpentis using Las Cumbres observatory global telescope (LCOGT)
Authors: Esaenwi S. , Vwavware O.J.
Published: May 2024

To observe and document the distinctive eclipse phenomenon on the source, we conducted a photometric observation of the variable star AO Ser using the 0.4m SBIG optical telescope from the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network remotely from Nigeria. On December 22, 2022, the LCOGT was used to observe the AO Ser data, and the telescope time was 120 minutes. Using SAO Image Viewer (DS9), VisieR, and IRIS software, we performed a photometric analysis on the eclipsing stellar data, allowing us to plot the light curve and infer eclipses. According to the outcome of our photometric analysis, AO Ser is an eclipsing binary variable star. The stellar analysis presented shows theaverage values of stellar eclipse parametersfrom the analysis of the Vfilterof AO Ser, asA1 = 1.37km, A2 = 0.329km, D1 = 188×103hrs (52.94secs), D2 = 79.4×103hrs (22.7secs) and d1 = 26.4×103hrs (7.65secs), d2 = 0hrs (0secs) respectively. For the B filter, the averagesof A1 = 0.65km, A2 = 0.145km, D1 = 185×103hrs (52.11secs), D2 = 76.6×103hrs (21.26.0secs), d1 = 26.0 ×103hrs (7.044secs) and d2 = 0hrs (0secs).The primary candidate of AO Ser is smaller than its secondary companion, as shown by the value of d2 = 0secs being the same for both V and B Filters observations. Two times during the orbit, when the primary passed in front of the secondary and when the secondary passed in front of the primary, the observed brightness decreased. The primary eclipse was designated as having a deeper peak than the secondary eclipse, which had a shallower peak. The percentage of the occulted stellar area and the stars' effective temperatures were used to calculate the size of the stellar brightness drop.

The antidyslipidemic activity of Irvingia wombolu ethanol seeds extract was studied in high fat diet induced dyslipidemic rats.Forty five (45) Wstar rats were grouped into 5 groups of 9 rats each. The animals were allowed 7 days acclimatization period. Group 1 was the control group and it received normal rat chow and water throughout the study. Groups 2 to 5 were given high fat diet for 14 days after which they were given normal rat chow till the end of the study. At the end of the 14 days, group 2 was not treated while group 3-5 were treated with 250, 500 and 1000mg/kg b.w ethanol extract of Irvingia wombolu seeds respectively for 28 days. The lipid profile of animals was evaluated three times: first after 14 days induction period (phase 1) i.e day 0 of treatment, second was taken 14 days after treatment (phase 2), third was taken 28 days after treatment (phase 3). The study lasted for 49 days and dimethyl sulphoxide was used as a vehicle for the extract. In phase 1, all the groups fed with high fat diet showed an increase in low density lipoprotein (LDL) triglyceride, total cholesterol and a decrease in high density lipoprotein (HDL) levels. In phase 2 there was a decrease in LDL, triglyceride and total cholesterol level in addition to increase in HDL for animals in all the treatment groups. It was observed that in phase 3 only 250mg/kg group showed a progressive decrease in LDL, triglyceride, total cholesterol and an increase in HDL levels while 500 and 1000 mg/kg b.w showed an increase in LDL, triglyceride and total cholesterol level and a decrease in HDL. The result of the present study demonstrated the antidyslipidemic effect of ethanol extract of Irvingia wombolu seeds at lower dose.

Post-harvest losses of fresh farm produce, especially fruits grown in Nigeria is high. This study was aimed at investigating the shelf-life extension of tomatoes, okra and eggplants stored at room temperature (29±2oC), using edible coating involving beeswax, lime and pectin. Five edible films were formulated, namely: Beeswax alone (W), pectin alone (P), beeswax and pectin (WP), beeswax and lime (WL), beeswax, lime and pectin (WLP). Uncoated fruits served as control. The proximate composition of the beeswax and the potential spoilage microorganisms of the selected fruits were determined using standard methods. The results of the proximate composition revealed the following values for carbohydrate (46.25%), lipid (38.50%), moisture (8.85%), protein (5.25%), fibre (1.02%) and ash (0.53%). The WP combination gave the best results, extending the shelf life of the tomatoes, okra and eggplants by more than 23, 21 and 11 days, respectively more than the uncoated fruits. The least effective edible coating was the WLP combination, extending the shelf life of the tomatoes, okra and eggplants by more than 7, 2 and 5 days, respectively compared with the uncoated fruits. The log10CFU/g microbial counts for bacterial and fungal isolates revealed the following ranges for tomato (3.50 to 5.89, 3.43 to 5.88), okra (3.47 to 5.86, 3.46 to 5.88) and eggplant (3.50 to 5.89, 3.49 to 5.90), respectively. The predominant bacteria and fungi were Escherichia coli (30.18%) and Aspergillus niger (23.76%), respectively. Overall, the formulations were all effective in reducing spoilage, thereby extending the shelf life of the fruits.
Curcumin mitigates stress induced depression and hippocampal damage through upregulation of BDNF expression and adult neurogenesis.
Authors: Wogu E. U. , Edibamode E. I.
Published: May 2024

Chronic stress, recognized as a major precipitant of depression, has been linked to various neural alterations, including cell death, neuronal atrophy, and compromised hippocampal neurogenesis and plasticity. This study aim to scrutinize curcumin's influence on glucocorticoid hormone secretion and its subsequent effects on the structural integrity and neurogenesis of the hippocampal neurons. A total of 30 adult albino Wistar rats, each weighing between 200-250 g, were utilized for the study. The rats, excluding those in the control group, underwent a 42-day regimen of modified Chronic Unpredictable Stress (CUS) to induce depressive-like states. After inducing CUS, these rats were categorized into six groups, each receiving different oral treatments for two weeks. The treatments included 30 mg/kg body weight of curcumin, 20 mg/kg body weight of fluoxetine, or a combination of both, along with a control group that received distilled water and an olive oil treated group. The rats were tested for behavioural despair using the forced swim test and their blood samples were obtained for serum corticosterone test. Afterwards, the rats were anesthetized, transcardially perfused and the hippocampus dissected and prepared for histopathological study. The study's multi-faceted approach encompassed behavioral, biochemical, and histological evaluations. Behavioral despair, gauged through the forced swimming test, displayed a marked reduction in the curcumin-treated rats compared to controls (p<0.05). Additionally, curcumin significantly lowered serum corticosterone levels, aligning them closely with the control levels. Histomorphological analysis of the hippocampus showed that the curcumin- treated rats exhibited substantially less neurodegeneration, as evidenced by fewer cytoplasmic vacuolations and more intact neuronal structures. Increased cell proliferation and BDNF level were also observed in curcumin treated rats. This study has illuminated a multifaceted approach through which curcumin mitigates hippocampal neurodegeneration, thus showing possible therapeutic potential of curcumin in ameliorating depressive symptoms.

Cywilizacja jako proces. Część 3: Powrót idei?
Authors: Klimczyk Wojciech
Published: May 2024

The first goal of the last in the series of articles called “Civilization as process” is to show how the notion of civilization was saved in academic discourse from being fully associated with imperialism and racism. While the text reconstructs how it happened, it nonetheless stresses that the doubts about the use of the term “civilization” in research have remained, even once its value-free, descriptive meaning was shaped. Essentialism based on racist and classificatory grounds still haunts civilizational studies, as can be seen in the scope and intensity of debate accompanying Samuel Huntington’s The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order (1997), which has been accused of essentialism. In reaction to the spectacular but also dangerous theses by Huntington, theoretical inquiry into the notion of civilization has deepened, preparing the ground for contemporary resurgence in the academic discourse of civilization in singular – as a multivalent social process.

One of the possible understandings of the notion, arguably especially useful today – civilization as “pacification of the social” – is discussed in the final part of this essay. To make this discussion possible, the classic substantialist and pluralistic theory, especially as formulated by Koneczny, is analysed, and then the dynamization of the concept in Sorokin, Nelson, Braudel and Eisenstadt is discussed, leading to an introduction to the currently dominant paradigm in civilizational analysis that is the theory of civilizational identities. The article shows that the latter is not the final step in the development of civilizational theory but rather the reverse.

Communication of the city with various social groups, in the era of free access to the Internet, on the one hand provides almost infinite possibilities for the selection of channels of content distribution and the tools used in them – on the other hand, however, raises a huge challenge in terms of choosing the right ones, adequate to the expectations of the recipient. In my paper, I focused on the city of Kielce’s communication with secondary school students in the city. I analysed how the city reaches out to young people with its cultural, educational, entertainment, sporting etc. offer, I checked what channels it uses to reach young people and whether it speaks Daria Malicka 104 the “language of young people” in its messages. The second part of the paper is the results of a questionnaire survey of young people in Kielce, talking about which tools and channels are used by young people to communicate, whether the Internet is winning in every area with offline communication and what are the expectations of young people regarding effective communication conducted with their social group.
Network analysis for the study of intergovernmental cooperation: the case of the International Bureau of Education (1929-1958)
Authors: Brylinski Émeline
Published: May 2024

This report of the thesis "Recommending utopia? A construction of an intergovernmental cooperation by the International Bureau of Education (IBE) in the middle of the 20th century" (Brylinski, 2022), focuses on the use of network analysis to study intergovernmental cooperation in education. The first part sets out the research questions and the data collected. The second describes how network analyses were applied to the Bulletins and to the Minutes published by the IBE. Then, the third part exposes the results obtained, to illustrate how these techniques are useful to study the staging of States, their interactions and cooperation strategies. Network analysis is thus a relevant method to analyze how governments contributed to the construction of the cause which lied at the heart of the cooperation project, namely peace education. This approach makes it possible to improve our understanding of the circulation and co-construction of knowledge within the framework of an intergovernmental organization and the production of international education recommendations.

Ce compte rendu de la thèse "Recommander l’utopie ? Construction d’une coopération intergouvernementale par le Bureau International d’Éducation (BIE) au milieu du 20e siècle" (Brylinski, 2022) porte sur l’intérêt de mobiliser les techniques d’analyse de réseaux pour étudier la coopération intergouvernementale en éducation. La première partie expose les questions de recherche et les données récoltées. La seconde décrit comment l’analyse de réseaux est appliquée aux Bulletins et aux Procès-verbaux publiés par le BIE. Puis, la troisième restitue les résultats obtenus pour illustrer comment ces techniques permettent d’étudier des mises en scène d’États, leurs interactions et stratégies de coopération pour faire-valoir ou marginaliser certains savoirs. Ainsi, l’analyse de réseaux est une méthode pertinente pour révéler comment se construit la cause qui réside au cœur du projet de coopération, à savoir l’éducation pacifique, lorsqu’elle est saisie par des gouvernements. Cette démarche permet d’améliorer notre compréhension de la circulation et la co-construction de savoirs dans le cadre d’une organisation intergouvernementale et de la production des recommandations internationales de l’éducation.

Epicurean and St. Apostle Paul’s teaching: similarities and differences
Authors: Демиденко С.С.
Published: May 2024

Статья знакомит читателя с рядом текстологических параллелей в трудах святого апостола Павла и философов-эпикурейцев. Автор приводит свой анализ сходств и различий между этическим учением ап. Павла и эпикурейцев, опираясь на оригинальные тексты Посланий апостола и произведений античных мыслителей. Именно поэтому в данной работе приводятся краткие исторические сведения об эпикурейской традиции, после чего следует главная ее часть — анализ письменного наследия ап. Павла и эпикурейцев в свете их этического учения. Рассматриваемая тема весьма актуальна, поскольку не разработана в достаточной степени ни русскими учеными, ни зарубежными. Этим же обусловлена новизна, поскольку в различных исследовательских материалах, учебных пособиях и т. д. если и встречается сопоставление этического учения ап. Павла и представителей эпикурейской философии, то лишь в общих чертах, без анализа оригинальных текстов Посланий апостола и произведений эпикурейцев.

The article introduces its reader to a number of textual parallels in the works of St. Paul the Apostle and of Epicurean philosophers. In this article, the author provides his analysis of the similarities and differences between the ethical teaching of St. Paul and of the Epicureans, based on the original texts of the Epistles of the St. Apostle and on the works of ancient thinkers. That is why this work provides brief historical information about the Epicurean tradition, followed by its main part — the analysis of the written heritage of St. Paul and of the Epicureans in the light of their ethical teaching. The topic under consideration is currently very relevant, since it has not been sufficiently developed either by Russian or foreign scholars. This is the reason for the novelty of the topic, since in various research materials, textbooks, etc., a comparison of the ethical teachings of St. Paul and of the representatives of Epicurean philosophy is made only in general terms, without analyzing the original texts of St. Apostle’s Epistles and Epicurean works.
The Beginning of Greek University Theology in the Writings of Nicholas Damalas (1842–1892)
Authors: Поляков Э.А.
Published: May 2024

В статье рассказывается о богословских сочинениях одного из первых преподавателей богословского факультета Афинского университета Николая Дамаласа (1842–1892). Рассматривается прежде всего его труд «О началах научных и церковных православного богословия», который стал среди университетских профессоров первой попыткой создания обзора православного догматического учения, преимущественно в контексте полемики с инославными. Используются также и другие его работы, посвященные различным богословским вопросам. Рассматривается его отношение к старокатоликам и англиканам, с которыми Православная Церковь в то время вела активные переговоры о возможности объединения. Данное отношение было резко полемическим и не признающим наличие благодати в инославных конфессиях. В то же время отмечается и определенное воздействие на его богословские взгляды протестантизма и рационализма, особенно во время его обучения в западных университетах. Приводятся и критические замечания, которые ряд его современники, прежде всего Х. Андруцос, делали в отношении его богословских взглядов. В целом, Н. Дамалас на определенном этапе сыграл свою роль в развитии в Афинском университете преподавания догматического и сравнительного богословия. Однако в дальнейшем его богословские сочинения были вытеснены более значительными пособиями по данным предметам и уже не переиздавались.

The article talks about the theological writings of one of the first teachers of the Faculty of Theology of University of Athens, Nicholas Damalas. First of all, his work “On the Principles of Scientific and Church Orthodox Theology” is considered, which became the first attempt among university professors to create a review of Orthodox dogmatic teaching, mainly in the context of polemics with heterodox. His other works on various theological issues are also used. His attitude towards the Old Catholics and Anglicans, with whom the Orthodox Church at that time was actively negotiating about the possibility of unification, is examined. This attitude was sharply polemical and did not recognize the presence of grace in heterodox confessions. At the same time, there is also a certain influence on his theological views of Protestantism and rationalism, especially during his studies at Western universities. Critical remarks that some of his contemporaries, primarily Ch. Androutsos, made regarding his theological views are also given. In general, N. Damalas at a certain stage played a role in the development of the teaching of dogmatic and comparative theology at the University of Athens. However, later his theological works were supplanted by more significant manuals on these subjects and were no longer republished.

Published: May 2024

Статья является продолжением исследования, начатого автором много лет назад. Выводы, сделанные в предыдущих работах, не утратили актуальности, более того, в последние годы нашли серьезные подтверждения и новые немаловажные факты. В статье уточняются и рассматриваются основные западноевропейские иконографические источники, находившиеся в поле зрения одного из самых одаренных изографов второй половины XVII в. Семена Спиридонова Холмогорца. Дается характеристика особенностям его работы с такими популярными в России XVI–XVII вв. увражами как различные издания лицевых Библий Николая Пискатора и Петера ван дер Борхта, иллюстрированных нидерландскими граверами XVI в. В произведениях северянина выявляются принципы, соответствующие общим правилам использования русскими художниками подобных образцов, а также особые, характерные для Семена Холмогорца. Рассматриваются наиболее вероятные пути ознакомления мастера с произведениями западноевропейского искусства, повлиявшими на его творчество.

This article is a continuation of the work that the author started back in the early 1980s, the conclusions of which have not lost their relevance. Moreover, in recent years, serious confirmations and new important facts have been found. The article clarifies and examines the main Western European iconographic sources that were in the field of view of one of the most gifted isographers of the second half of the XVII century, Semyon Spiridonov of Kholmogory. The characteristic of the peculiarities of his work with such popular in XVI–XVII centuries Russia pieces of art as various editions of the illuminated Bibles of Nicholas Piscator and Peter van der Borcht, illustrated by Dutch engravers of the XVI century, is given. In the works of the northerner, the principles corresponding to the general rules of the work of Russian artists with similar samples, and individual, peculiar only to Semyon of Kholmogory, are revealed. The most probable ways of the master’s acquaintance with the works of Western European art that influenced his work are also considered.

Статья представляет собой отзыв на книгу выдающегося французского религиоведа, историка религии, лингвиста, мифолога и структуралиста Жоржа Дюмезиля «Религия Древнего Рима», впервые переведенную на русский язык в 2018 г. Рассмотрены сфера деятельности и основные интересы ученого, а также главная идея его научных поисков — выявление чистой трехчастной структуры, применимой к индоевропейским обществам и, следовательно, присутствующей в римской культуре. Показано, как Дюмезиль раскрывает различные проявления трехчастной структуры в главах книги, посвященных древнеримским богам, теологии и культу. Делается вывод, что автор глубоко проработал тему религии индоевропейцев и на протяжении всего труда показал множество параллелей в ней с религией Древнего Рима. Высказывается предположение, что Дюмезиль был близок к тому, чтобы выразить трехчастную модель и в христианстве, но не пришел к осознанию проявления этой модели в Троичности Бога не только в индоевропейских культурах.

The article is a review of the book “The religion of ancient Rome” by the outstanding French religious scholar, historian of religion, linguist, mythologist and structuralist Georges Dumézil, first translated into Russian in 2018. The authors consider the scope of activity and main interests of the scholar, as well as the main idea of his scientific search — the identification of a pure tripartite structure applicable to Indo-European societies and, therefore, present in Roman culture. It is shown how Dumézil reveals various manifestations of the tripartite structure in the chapters of the book devoted to ancient Roman gods, theology and cult. It is concluded that the author studied profoundly the topic of the Indo-European religion and demonstrated throughout his work many of its parallels with the religion of ancient Rome. It is suggested that Dumézil was close to expressing the tripartite model in Christianity, but did not come to realize the manifestation of this model in the Trinity of God beyond Indo-European cultures.
Martin Luther’s Ecclesiology
Authors: Пименов С.С.
Published: May 2024

В статье представлена в систематическом виде экклесиология родоначальника Реформации Мартина Лютера. Как и в остальных разделах его теологии, для Лютера определяющим является понимание Церкви как места действия Святого Духа, что выражено в определении Церкви как собрания верующих вокруг Слова и таинств. Имея в виду стремление Рима подчинить Божественное Слово существующей церковно-иерархической структуре, Лютер утверждает, что не Церковь обладает Словом, но Слово — Церковью. Продемонстрирована преемственность взглядов Лютера от предыдущей церковной традиции. Представлена критика богословских оснований и практики Римско-Католической Церкви в предреформационный период, а также рассмотрены наиболее важные и отличные от Рима экклесиологические положения Лютера — о священстве всех верующих и Церковь видимая и невидимая. Делается вывод о возможности двойственной оценки учения Лютера о Церкви: с одной стороны, оно подрывает основы католического представления о Церкви, с другой — его можно понимать как глубинно «католическое».

The article presents a systematic examination of the ecclesiology of the founder of the Reformation, Martin Luther. As in the rest of his theology for Luther, his ecclesiology is determined by the understanding of the Church as the site of the action of the Holy Spirit, which is expressed in the definition of the Church as a gathering of believers around the Word and sacraments. Bearing in mind the desire of Rome to subordinate the Word of God to the existing Church-hierarchical structure, Luther argues that it is not the Church that possesses the Word, but the Word that possesses the Church. The continuity of Luther’s views from the previous Church tradition is demonstrated. A critique of the theological foundations and practices of the Roman Catholic Church in the pre-Reformation period is presented, and also the most important ecclesiological affirmations of Luther, which differ from Rome, are considered — the position on the priesthood of all believers and the Church visible and invisible. A conclusion is made about the possibility of a dual assessment of Luther’s teaching on the Church, as, on the one hand, undermining the foundations of the Roman conception of the Church, and on the other hand, as the possibility of understanding it as deeply “Catholic.”

In today’s business world, organizational changes are frequent and are often motivated by variables like as mergers, acquisitions, and strategic realignments. These transitions sometimes include substantial alterations in the company’s culture, which can pose obstacles and offer possibilities for employees, especially those who are moving across businesses. This study examines the methods used by PERTAMINA WK Rokan in order to assimilate the former workers of Chevron Indonesia and to adopt the business culture of PERTAMINA WK Rokan which is AKHLAK as they transition between the two companies and post-transition. It sheds light on the challenges and intricacies involved in assimilating to a new work culture during and after change in management. Cultural integration plays a crucial role in organizational changes, impacting employee morale, productivity, and ultimately, the effectiveness of the business. When employees switch from one organization to another, they carry their values, beliefs, and work habits with them. These may or may not match the existing culture of the new firm. Gaining insight into how individuals embrace the process of transitioning between cultures is crucial for promoting effective integration and cultivating a harmonious work environment.

Published: May 2024

The effect of the occurrence of high impedance fault (HIF) in power system networks results to low current signal which cannot be detected by the electrical equipment which results to fire outbreaks. Nigerian power system network has witnessed the occurrence of HIF which has led to fire outbreak in buildings and in minor cases grid collapse. In this paper, the performance of ANN in the detection and location of HIF was studied and determined. The transmission network located in south-south region of the Nigerian 330kV power system network was obtained and modeled in SIMULINK. The line distance was split into six points and implemented in the SIMULINK to obtain the current signals at each point of the lines. The current signals were used as the input data with the split distance utilized as the target to the ANN model. The ANN had three input neurons (each neuron represented the phase current signal), the hidden layer had five neurons with each neuron incorporating log sigmoid curve and the output layer having one neuron which was the split distance. The outcome had the least error deviation value of 0.0118 making the performance of ANN effective in the point location of HIF occurrence on the transmission line.

This study aims to establish an essential connection between the fields of information technology and criminology, acknowledging the changing nature of crime in the digital era. Modern society is becoming increasingly dependent on technology, making it difficult for traditional criminological frameworks to understand and deal with the new types of cybercrime and digital deviance. The objective of this research is to study the relationship between criminology and information technology, with an emphasis on how technological improvements can be used to improve the knowledge of criminology students, prevention, and moderation of present-day criminal behavior. This study looks at the mutually beneficial connection between criminological theories and state-of-the-art information technology to offer a thorough and detailed framework for understanding the complexity of modern-day crime. It seeks to open up fresh possibilities for innovative ideas and remedies that successfully close the knowledge gap between criminology and the quickly changing field of technology-driven crimes.

Strategic alliances are collaborative relationships aimed at achieving mutual strategic objectives in order to achieve organizational performance objectives. Strategic alliances emphasis in literature has been significantly tilted towards private business enterprises and multinational companies. Yet, little is known about how strategic alliances work within governmental bodies like the FIRS. The purpose of this article is to examine the influence of strategic alliances on performance of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS). The study uses simple percentage count and standard deviation to analyze primary data obtained through questionnaires (google forms) from a sample of selected senior staffs at the Federal Inland Revenue Service South West zone which is made up of thirty (30) FIRS offices having a total of two hundred and seventy nine (279) respondents using purposive sampling method. Also, correlation coefficients, t-test, regression analysis and ANOVA was used to demonstrate significance. Result showed that strategic alliances/collaborations significantly and positively impact FIRS performance (F= 489.672, P0.00) in terms of tax revenue generation, voluntary tax compliance and widening of the tax net. It therefore recommends that techniques and strategic measures should be maintained to enhance the management of all collaborations for sustained performance of FIRS in Nigeria.

Food security has a significant impact on economic aspects, poverty levels, and the quality of human resources in a region. Food security issues are something that must be watched out by the East Java Provincial government. The high population and poverty level can cause problems in economic growth in East Java Province. The purpose of the study is to determine how the poverty level can strengthen or weaken the relationship between economic growth and food security as measured from the Food Availability Index, Food Affordability Index, and Food Utilization Index. This research is important because food security not only talks about food consumption for the community but also how food availability, affordability, and utilization can be the basis of sustainable development. The data used are secondary data from the Central Bureau of Statistics of East Java Province and the Indonesian National Food Agency. This research was conducted with a quantitative approach using Moderation Regression Analysis (MRA) method on panel data. The results showed that partially the poverty level can strengthen the influence of the Food Availability Index and Food Utilization Index on economic growth. In this case, the poverty level is classified as quasi-moderation which has a dual role as a moderation variable and an independent variable directly affects economic growth. Meanwhile, the effect of the Food Affordability Index on economic growth is not moderated by the poverty level as a predictor of moderation.

Purpose: The research aimed to determine various sustainable projects offered by various institutions for people with disabilities (PWDs) in Oman; to analyze the local community’s awareness of those projects and their satisfaction with the provided facilities and services to PWDs and to assess the relationship between awareness and satisfaction with the services provided to PWDs. Design/methodology/approach: This study adopted a descriptive research design and a mixed approach. Primary data were obtained through a survey questionnaire and interview. Snowball sampling was employed with a total of 60 respondents from local communities, people living with disabled people, and institutions catering to the needs of people with disabilities. Findings: The findings showed that the majority of the population was highly aware of the education programs, access services, employment, and healthcare provided to people with disabilities. An overall high satisfaction rating was obtained for the provided facilities’ accessibility and services. Furthermore, results indicated no significant association between age groups and participants’ awareness and satisfaction towards facilities accessibility as well as services provided to PWDs. The outcomes likewise revealed a significant moderate, positive correlation between awareness and satisfaction with the services made available for PWDs. Research limitations/implications: The Government of Oman, non-governmental organizations, civil society, and PWDs immensely benefit from this study. This also outlines numerous sustainable initiatives and assessments on the quality of services according to their requirements. This study supports greater community inclusion and participation by PWDs, improving their overall quality of life. Social Implications: This study highlights the gaps and challenges faced in the implementation of projects that may require attention and improvement. This study also raises more awareness in the community about the difficulties experienced by PWDs and the significance of offering them long-term support. Originality / Value: This research study explored the local awareness and satisfaction with available sustainable projects for PWDs in Oman. This also outlines the identification of better strategies and approaches in the implementation of sustainable programs and policy development for people with disabilities among various institutions and the Government of Oman.

Cancer is a global health problem responsible for one in twenty deaths worldwide. Advancement in cancer chemotherapy includes surgery and radiotherapy have been in use while significant advances are being made in recent times including stem cell therapy, natural antioxidants, targeted therapy, radionics, nanoparticles, chemodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy and ferroptosis based therapy. The search for effective treatment has gained much significance in the development of modern chemotherapy and the use of herbal medicines in the treatment of cancer. These approaches offer different perspectives on cancer treatment each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. In this chapter, we explore the potential of modern chemotherapy and herbal remedies, exploring their differences, effectiveness, side effects, accessibility, and potential for consolidation in the treatment of cancer.
Mulheres raizeiras do cerrado

As mulheres raizeiras do Cerrado reúnem uma diversidade de saberes, cujos processos de aprendizagem acontecem oralmente no cotidiano das suas comunidades. Nosso objetivo foi investigar e refletir sobre o processo de transmissão dos saberes de cura e cuidado com a vida, a partir da escuta sensível das narrativas de duas mestras raizeiras. Buscamos compreender a importância dos vínculos afetivos nas suas práticas pedagógicas, tecidas na partilha de saberes tradicionais sobre plantas medicinais. As narrativas dessas mestras evidenciam que a ancestralidade e os laços afetivos com seus territórios contribuem para manter vivos os saberes originários, bem como para a preservação do Cerrado. Foi possível constatar, portanto, conexões pedagógicas entre a transmissão de saberes tradicionais e as práticas de educação ambiental em espaços não escolares.
Dr. Jose Rizal from the Lens of Criminology Students: Amplifying Knowledge about the Hero
Authors: J. Java Almar
Published: May 2024

This study investigates the level of knowledge about Dr. Jose Rizal among Criminology students in the Philippines who poised to become the future police officers. While considered the modern-day heroes- a concerning gap exists where students recognize Rizal but lack of deep understanding of his life, contributions and national significance. Employing a descriptive quantitative approach, the researcher surveyed 254 Criminology students from Carlos Hilado Memorial State University who are selected through stratified random sampling to answer the 50-item researcher’s made questionnaire aligned with “Life Works and Writings of Jose Rizal” course syllabus. The findings disclosed that the Criminology students have an average level of knowledge about Dr. Jose Rizal with no significant difference based on sex. However, year-level variations emerged. First year, third year, and fourth year displayed “average” knowledge level, while second year exhibited “low” level. Interestingly, the fourth year had the highest mean score suggesting some accumulation of knowledge throughout the years. The results also confirmed that the higher the year level, the higher the knowledge they gained about the hero as reflected on their test scores. These results underscore the need to heightened Rizal education within Criminology programs. Appreciating Rizal’s life, and contribution can instill the values of bravery and nobility to serving and protecting the nation-ideals that resonate with the oath of police officer. By emulating Rizal’s spirit, future officers can become true modern-day heroes.
Carbon Cycle Models Quantify for a Green and Low-Carbon Economy
Authors: Ahamer Gilbert
Published: May 2024

CO2 emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels represent the largest anthropogenic disruption of the natural global carbon cycle and lead to an undesirable increase in atmospheric CO2 levels. The so-called "carbon-neutral" renewable energy source biomass appears to be a promising replacement for fossil fuels. The "Combined Energy and Biosphere Model" (CEBM), was developed as a method for calculating the atmospheric CO2 content after intensive use of biomass. It includes (i) a biosphere part computing the annual cycle of carbon in the biosphere on 2,433 grid elements covering the continents' plant mass and soil, as well as (ii) an energy economic part for calculating the fossil CO2 emissions of 119 countries. As the history of understanding the carbon cycle (including quantification of plant growth and decay by formulae, inclusion of deforestation, fossil fuel use and the fertilizer effect) shows, such a global carbon cycle model (as the CEBM) provides the needed methodology to assess the net effects of large-scale biomass energy use on the plant's atmosphere.
Results show that biomass (in a systemic view) is "only half as carbon neutral" as previously thought, even on a principal level.
The conclusions indicate that (even if biomass is a valuable mitigation strategy) its global potential is limited. When interpreting CEBM scenarios, as a very first priority, reducing the current annual increase in energy demand is most highly needed for preserving climate.
