Authors: Fernández Hoya Gema
Published: June 2022

El presente artículo estudia la colaboración entre el sistema de enseñanza institucional y la educación a través del arte, como medio para construir una escuela democrática e inclusiva, abordando un estudio de caso específico: la residencia artística del Colectivo Lisarco, formado por artistas con y sin diversidad funcional, desarrollada en el CEIP Trabenco, una escuela pública ordinaria y, al tiempo destacada, como Centro de escolarización preferente para el alumnado con trastornos generalizados del desarrollo. La investigación presenta como objetivos generales: reflexionar sobre las asociaciones entre la enseñanza institucional y el denominado Art Thinking y determinar los efectos en los participantes del citado caso de estudio. Para ello se emplea una metodología dual: una exploración bibliográfica analítica y sintética sobre el tema planteado y un posterior análisis cuantitativo mediante el uso cuestionarios dirigidos al conjunto de la comunidad educativa del CEIP Trabenco. Los resultados muestran como los escolares implicados en el proyecto pedagógico-artístico han interiorizado los principios de igualdad y respecto por la diversidad, y han experimentado mejoras académicas y personales. Igualmente, se aprecian beneficios en todos los agentes implicados en la propuesta liderada por colectivo Lisarco. En conclusión, se confirma la viabilidad de la acción artística como alternativa metodológica en el proceso educativo reglado para alcanzar una educación inclusiva y que atienda de manera integral la formación del alumnado.
Nuevas subjetividades de la primera infancia en el paradigma de la sostenibilidad
Authors: Arrabal Ana Ancheta
Published: June 2022

La concepción construida de la niñez, como creación de la Modernidad que continúa proyectándose en nuestros días, ha sido discutida conduciendo a la redefinición de una nueva idea de niñez en la Posmodernidad. Por un lado, la revolución de las comunicaciones y la simplificación en el funcionamiento de la información y la tecnología han colocado a los niños en una posición de equidad con los adultos y, por otro lado, se constata que la autonomía de los niños parece poderosamente acelerada al mismo tiempo que se estimula el desarrollo y la promoción de los niños enmendando estándares pasados. A su vez, el siglo pasado cerró con el enfoque de sostenibilidad en el centro del debate público y político y la urgente necesidad de renovar su consideración y su reformulación en “desarrollo sostenible”, mostrando diversas posiciones relativas al inicio de la agencia de la primera infancia que confrontan con diferentes modelos de sociedad y concepciones de la infancia. En este sentido, el objetivo central del estudio es abordar las subjetividades de los niños pequeños que se generan a partir de los discursos internacionales sobre sostenibilidad.
Effect of Muscle Energy Technique Vs Retro-Walking on Hamstring Flexibility and Dynamic Balance in Young College Going Students - A Comparative Study
Authors: Chawdi Maria , Shah Drashti Niket
Published: June 2022

Background: Hamstring muscle tightness can be defined as “inability to extend the knee completely when the hip is flexed.” Prevalence of hamstring muscle tightness in young college going students is 40.17%. MET is a technique that uses muscle’s own energy in the form of gentle isometric contractions to relax the muscles via autogenic or reciprocal inhibition and lengthen the muscle. Retro – walking is a translatory and dynamic activity which can be used to treat the flexibility as well as dynamic balance.
Aim: To study the effect of Muscle energy technique VS Retro-walking on hamstring flexibility and dynamic balance in young college going students.
Methodology: 74 participants were selected based on the selection criteria. Prior and after the treatment both the outcome measures, Passive Knee Extension Test and Y-Balance Test were measured. Participants were randomly divided into two groups with n=37 in each group. Group A received MET while group B received Retro-walking. The treatment was given for 5 consecutive days.
Results: Results showed us that both the groups were clinically significant, but the statistical analysis was not analytically significant.
Conclusion: MET and Retro-walking were significant in terms of clinical outcome, but the data was not proven to have a significant p value. Hence the study concluded that the MET as well as Retro – walking is effective, simple and easy to apply in Hamstring tightness subjects. So, it can be implemented clinically as well.

Key words: Muscle energy technique, Retro-walking, Hamstring tightness, Passive knee extension test, Y balance test.
Concept of Smriti (Memory), Influencing Factors and Enhancing Tools: A Review
Authors: Chundawat Anshu , Kumar Panda Srikanta
Published: June 2022

Causes of diseases are well narrated in Ayurvedic texts. Intellectual error is identified as major cause of diseases and its role in the manifestation of psychosomatic diseases is well explained in Charaka Samhita. Smriti is the faculty of mind that plays an important role in perception of knowledge. It is one of the components of Pragya according to Ayurveda. It is the recalling capacity of the knowledge which is perceived by the brain from past experiences. The Smriti is determined by various factors like Prakriti, age, Ahara-vihara, repetition of events etc. The consideration of all the factors can provide better knowledge to improve smriti. If the person is not able to grasp or retain the present events or experiences, it is known as Smritivibhransha. Modern science considers various components of memory which includes recent & past concentration, recalling, retention and recognition. Memory is the ability of an individual to record sensory stimuli, events, information, etc., retain them over short or long periods of time and recall the same at a later date when needed. Poor memory, lower retention and slow recall are common problems in today’s stressful life. Age, faulty diet, stress, emotions and other factors may lead mild cognitive impairment to memory loss.
Ayurvedic science deals with various Herbo-mineral preparations & procedures mentioned for excellence of memory.

Key words: Smriti, Smritivibhransha, memory, Pragya, Ayurveda protocols.
Iron Ionic Imprinted Polymers IIps for Separation and Preconcentration of Iron from Crude and Fuel Oil
Authors: Mohsen Hassan Noori , Al-Bayati Yehya Kamal , Jalil Rana Rasool
Published: June 2022

A novel Iron ion-imprinted polymers (IIPs) was synthesized by bulk polymerization using different types of monomers such as 1-vinyl imidazole and Styrene, respectively. Molar ratios of monomer, template and cross-linking agent for polymerization, various monomers and solvents were studied to obtain the largest adsorption capacity for Iron. The prepared Iron-IIPs were characterized using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier - transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
     The three-dimensional network structure surfaces of Iron-IIPs are unaffected by the elution procedure. Iron ions were successfully eluted from IIPs using a mixed solution from ethanol and acetic acid. The maximum adsorption capacity of Iron-IIPs was is (514.5)µmol/g for Iron-IIP1(using styrene as a monomer) and (429.1) µmol/g for Iron-IIP2(using 1-vinyl imidazole as a monomer). The adsorption by Iron-IIPs followed a Langmuir isotherm models. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) syringe packed with ionic imprinted polymers (IIPs) were used to selective separation for Iron ion from Crude or fuel oil and digest the polymer to determination the Iron by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS) Abbreviation IIP-SPE-FAAS.
Statistical mechanics of systems with negative temperature
Authors: Vulpiani Angelo , Baldovin Marco
Published: June 2022

Are negative absolute temperatures relevant physics and specifically Statistical Physics? We provide evidence that we can certainly answer positively to this vexata quaestio. The great majority of models investigated by statistical mechanics over almost one century and a half exhibit positive absolute temperature, because their entropy is a nondecreasing function of energy. Since more than half a century ago it has been realized that this may not be the case for some physical systems as incompressible fluids, nuclear magnetic chains, lasers, cold atoms and optical waveguides. We discuss these examples and their peculiar thermodynamic properties, which have been associated to the presence of thermodynamic regimes, characterized by negative absolute temperatures. The ambiguity regarding the definition of entropy has recurrently raised a harsh debate about the possibility of considering negative temperature states as genuine thermodynamic equilibrium ones. We show that negative absolute temperatures are consistent with equilibrium as well as with non-equilibrium thermodynamics.
An Evaluation of the Approaches to Text Modification Used by Lower Secondary CLIL Teachers in Finland
Authors: Zi Yu
Published: June 2022

This study sets two main objectives to address this research gap in CLIL materials design: to identify and to evaluate teachers’ approaches to text modification. The study focuses on four secondary teachers who teach non-language subjects to grades 7–9 in Finland, in English. The qualitative data consist of interviews and teaching materials designed by the participants. A review of over 60 studies is conducted in order to provide a framework for the evaluation of input modification strategies. The studies indicate that elaboration devices seem to enhance L2 comprehension and vocabulary development. The same cannot be as confidently stated about the effect of simplification. This study identifies all three main approaches to text modification in the participants’ teaching materials. Regardless of their previous teaching experience, most teachers use elaboration strategies when adjusting the linguistic and cognitive level of texts. More experienced teachers seem to avoid using simplification strategies, whilst less experienced teachers adopt a wide range of strategies. All participants use some types of rediscursification strategy. This study can provide the professionals in the field of CLIL education with an insight into the reality of how CLIL practitioners modify materials. The results may also contribute to CLIL teacher education and in-service training by informing teachers of the commonly used input modification strategies and raising awareness of the effectiveness of these techniques.
The Impact of Cultural Diversity on Small Business Strategy
Authors: Galli-Debicella Alexandra
Published: June 2022

Academic literature is rich with studies of small firms and of cultural diversity in the workforce—but very few academic studies have researched the intersection of the two. Academic research has looked at small firms and the factors that impact small firm performance, growth, and failure. Cultural diversity studies have included research focused directly on the degree of cultural diversity of firms regardless of size. However, the impact of cultural diversity on small firm strategy has not been extensively reviewed. The intersection of small firms and cultural diversity yields a number of interesting hypotheses. Specifically, this paper examines: (1) The level of managerial skill at diversity management has a disproportionately large impact on small business capability to develop competitive advantage out of diversity; (2) Niche-based cultural competitive advantage is stronger in small business than in large organizations; and (3) There is an inverse correlation between number of cultures and strength of diversity strategy in small firms—while the correlation is positive in larger firms that can handle more complex interactions.

Kur’ân’da Müzekker-Müennes Uyumsuzluğunun Haml Yöntemi Bağlamında İncelenmesi
Authors: MARANGOZOĞLU İzzet
Published: June 2022

Kur’ân merkezli dil çalışmaları tenzil döneminden günümüze kadar aralıksız bir şekilde devam etmiştir. Bunlardan özellikle Kur’ân-Kerîm’in dil ve gramatik üslubunu inceleyen çalışmalar önemli bir yer tutmuştur. Kur’ân’ın kusursuz dil üslubuna ve gramatik açıdan tutarlılığına dikkat çekmeyi amaçlayan bu çalışmada Arap dilinin en bilindik bir o kadar da karmaşık olan müzekkerlik ve müenneslik konusu ana hatlarıyla ele alınmıştır. Çalışmanın girişinde konuyla ilgili genel bir çerçeve çizildikten sonra tezkîr ve te’nîs kavramları tanıtılarak Yahya b. Ziyâd el-Ferrâ’dan (ö. 207/822) günümüze kadar müzekker ve müennese dair telif edilen müstakil çalışmalar kronolojik olarak sıralanmıştır. Çalışmanın devamında müzekker ve müennesi bilmenin önemine işaret edilerek müennesliğin ilke, çeşit ve alametleri zikredilmiştir. Kur’ân’ın müzekkerlik ve müenneslik konusuna yaklaşımını ortaya koyan gramer ve haml yöntemleri incelenmiştir. Bu bağlamda Kur’ân’ın müzekkerlik ve müenneslik yönünden herhangi bir uyumsuzluk barındırmadığına; söz konusu intibanın ise Arap dilinde gramatik bir üslup olarak “müzekkerin, müennes veya müennesin, müzekker gibi muamele görmesi”nden kaynaklandığına dikkat çekilmiştir. Kur’ân’dan ve Arap şiirinden aktarılan örneklerle konu aydınlatılmaya çalışılmıştır.

Authors: Skrbinjek Vesna
Published: June 2022

Purpose: The paper deals with identifying available indicators to predict future education staff needs in Slovenia.

Study design/methodology/approach: We used SORS's secondary data to analyse and provide an overview of indicators that can be used to forecast the education staff numbers in the future. We focused on the current number of education staff at different levels of education, the number of enrolled in formal education, number of enrolled students and graduates of educational sciences and teacher education, number of vacancies for education, and future population projections in certain age groups that education management must consider when planning staffing needs in the future.

Findings: Our findings show that enrolled generation in primary (basic) education is expanding in their number which will further increase a demand for upper secondary and tertiary education in the future 3 to 5 years. Number of education staff has followed this trend, and has increased by 5 % in the last 5 years, mostly in primary education sector. The needs for education staff will increase in the near future in Slovenia. Demography outlook indicates that several changes must be implemented in the education and labour market sectors.

Originality/value: Education staff needs were not yet addressed by the researchers for the case of Slovenia, however the future trends indicate that it is worth exploring for the purpose of efficient and effective educational planning at the system management level.

Authors: Elmansy Mostafa , Helmy Eman Mohamed , Yousry Tarek , El-Essawy Saleh Saleh
Published: June 2022

Background: In the context of sciatic neuropathy, there have been many etiologies and the need for differentiating between the possible underlying causes is an important matter for early diagnosis and management. COVID-19 has been associated with many peripheral neuropathies and sciatic neuropathy could be potentially a complication. Although, very rare with limited cases published in the literature to date. Methods: We investigated the role of MR neurography in evaluating sciatic neuropathy presumably post- COVID-19 infection in one of our cases after exclusion of other possible causes of sciatic neuropathy using STIR MR neurography. Results: Our STIR MR neurography demonstrated increased signal and size of the left sciatic nerve with 2ry muscular edema in the biceps femoris muscle in keeping radiologically with sciatic neuropathy. Conclusion: MR neurography has proven to be valuable in narrowing the differential diagnosis of the reported imaging findings and showed a very good correlation to the NCVs, laboratory investigations, and sural nerve biopsy. Although a very rare complication, COVID-19 could be a potential direct cause of sciatic neuropathy.

Previo a la siembra se aplicó a razón de 2 ton·ha-1 de cal dolomítica (Ca3(PO4)2CaF2). El aporte de Nitrógeno(N) fue suministrado por el sistema Inga spp. En el año 2014 el mayor rendimiento obtenido en las parcelas de maíz fue significativo, con un rendimiento promedio de 1558 kg·ha-1, los mejores tratamientos fueron: K2SO4 + Mg y de RF, con la mayor dosis suplementada (20, 40 y 80) kg·ha-1, del mismo año. El alto rendimiento promedio del cultivo durante el primer año, su estabilización durante los dos años siguientes, y las cero aplicaciones de fertilizantes nitrogenados, proporcionaron los indicios de la disponibilidad del Nitrógeno del sistema de siembra en callejones de Inga spp.
FAMILIAL AND SOCIAL SECURITY FOR THE RURAL ELDERLY: A STUDY OF SHATOIL VILLAGE IN NAOGAON DISTRICT
Authors: Rani Ety , Imtiaz S M
Published: June 2022

In this study, efforts have been made to explore familial and social security for the rural elderly in Naogaon district. The main objective of this study was to learn about the familial and social security they enjoyed in the study area. The social survey method has been employed for data collection in this research. The research area of this study was the Shatoil village of Naogaon district in Bangladesh. Purposive sampling has been used in this research work. The sample size was 100. The findings of the study show that the highest number of the respondents lived in nuclear families. A majority of them were illiterate and poor with an average income of less than 50,000 Taka per year. Most of them could not avail good health services for treatment owing to poverty. Their socio-economic condition was not satisfactory.  Familial security was strong. The social security they received in terms of old age allowance was not sufficient. Only 12 percent of the elderly received a monthly allowance. About half of the remaining respondents informed that they did not get any old age allowance because of corruption. Member and Chairman want 3000-4000 taka as a bribe for creating an old age allowance card. None of the widows received widowhood allowance. The government should ensure the access and extend of financial help such as old age allowance, widowhood allowance, and health insurance for the welfare of deprived elderly.
Development and Performance Analysis of High Thermal Conductivity Epoxy Resin for Dry-type Transformer Casting
Authors: Wang Ni
Published: June 2022

The purpose of this paper is to provide a preparation method of epoxy resin with high thermal conductivity transformer casting. Adding metal oxide and nitride such as silicon nitride, boron nitride, aluminum nitride and so on into epoxy resin, so that the interface structure of the epoxy resin can be effectively changed, the thermal conductivity of the filling material is greatly improved. It greatly avoids the influence of temperature on its internal parameters, so that the transformer can works smoothly. However, the addition of thermal conductive fillers will affect its dielectric properties (such as Insulation strength, dielectric loss and conductivity characteristics) and mechanical stability. This paper solves the problem of how to improve the thermal conductivity and ensure the dielectric and mechanical properties.

A Review of Research on Pedestrian-vehicle Conflict in Non-signal-controlled Road Sections
Authors: Yang Fan
Published: June 2022

Pedestrian crossings, as the main traffic facilities for pedestrians crossing the street, play an important role in ensuring the safety of pedestrians crossing the street. However, there are many places on domestic crosswalks without signal control, which leads to the interaction between vehicles and pedestrians on the crosswalk, which will not only cause traffic congestion, affect the normal traffic order, but also cause traffic accidents. It is of great significance to improve the traffic efficiency to strengthen the understanding of the seriousness of the conflict between people and vehicles in the non-signal control section, and to prevent the accident of drivers and pedestrians.
Experience and Inspiration of the Sinicization of Marxism in One Hundred Years
Authors: Li Huimin
Published: June 2022

We have accumulated rich experience in the sinicization of Marxism in the past hundred years, which has given us profound enlightenment. We should establish a scientific view of Marxism and realize the concrete and historical unity of Marxism and China. Based on the historical orientation and era coordinates, we should grasp the special background of domestic and international environment changes. At the same time, we should adhere to dialectical materialism and historical materialism and judge the complexity of sinicization of Marxism with correct historical view.

The Cultural Orientation: The Spatial Construction of Yi Nationality-themed Films
Authors: Zhou Xiangdong
Published: June 2022

Yi Nationality-themed films create a unique cultural scene through the selection of traditional/modern living space in the process of creation. In the films, the space has become a metaphor for the identity of the Yi nationality, a concrete expression of "national unity" and the identity of The Times. And to a certain extent, it has been a reflection of national culture and adherence and a replica of national myth and epic tradition. However, the unique aesthetic style of Yi Nationality-themed films is not presented in the construction of space. To create a unique aesthetic style, we must use national symbols to construct a unique audio-visual space, pay attention to the construction of image cultural space to create a unique aesthetic style, and then realize the rapid development of Yi Nationality-themed films.
La prueba de oficio en el proceso de familia.
Authors: Agrazal Jaén Yazmín Lorena
Published: June 2022

El juez, como director del proceso, tiene a su cargo dirigir la actividad probatoria concretada en admitir, inadmitir y practicar los medios de prueba propuestos por las partes, ya que es importante verificar los hechos que fundamentan la pretensión. En materia de Familia existe la amplia facultad para decretar pruebas de oficio, decisión que es inapelable. Surge la interrogante si con ello se esté supliendo la carga probatoria de las partes. Es por ello, que de acuerdo con la circunstancia de cada caso es que se debe ordenar pruebas de oficio. Esto implica que el juez debe ser objetivo en la búsqueda de la convicción judicial sobre los hechos discutidos por las partes en el Proceso de Familia.
El incumplimiento de la cuota alimenticia: breve ponderación en torno a la sanción.
Authors: Rawlins Mc Nally Darío H.
Published: June 2022

La aplicación de alguna sanción exige cumplir con un debido proceso. Ello implica respetar las garantías y derechos fundamentales de todos los intervinientes. En los procesos de alimentos, no se exceptúa estos principios procesales. Por ende, para aplicar una sanción, se requiere que efectivamente exista el incumplimiento de la obligación de pago de la cuota, y, en relación de lo adeudado, conlleva que no haya existido otra forma de pago, tácita o expresamente convenida y consumada por las partes, respecto de las sumas reclamadas. Esto para evitar una exacción.

No obstante, ante un sector discrepante de los procedimientos, nos es oportuno alguna de las siguientes preguntas: ¿El respeto a las garantías fundamentales de los progenitores, contraviene el interés superior del menor? ¿La falta de pago de las pensiones alimenticias, es suficiente motivo para vulnerar los principios inherentes las garantías fundamentales? ¿Las normas existentes, son hoy efectivas y eficaces?
In de Ban van Tolkien
Authors: Davidsen Markus Altena
Published: June 2022

This article discusses how ‘believing’ works in Tolkien spirituality, a fiction-based religious milieu that uses J. R. R. Tolkien’s narratives, in particular The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, as authoritative texts. Members of this milieu engage in ritual communication with the supernatural beings from Tolkien’s universe, including the elves and the Valar (gods). After presenting the history of Tolkien spirituality and describing the main groups, I develop a model for analysing religious rationalisation. By this term I refer to the process through which theology is developed within religious traditions as a second-order reflection on ritual practices and authoritative narratives. I demonstrate that contrary to what one might expect the strategies of religious rationalisation in Tolkien spirituality are not that different from what we see in other new religions. While one might think that members of fiction-based religions (can) believe only in a cautious and playful manner, practitioners of Tolkien spirituality in fact tend to believe literally and to legitimise their beliefs with supposed proof. It is striking, however, that they tend to believe in a ‘cosmological’ rather than in a ‘historical’ mode, i.e. they believe in the existence of the Valar as spiritual beings, but not in the historical factuality of Tolkien’s narratives. In this sense, Tolkien spirituality may be a good illustration of a broader ‘dehistoricising turn’ in contemporary religion. The development of reflective beliefs in Tolkien spirituality is further shown to be governed by three principles that together seek to reduce tension between conflicting ideas within the tradition and to strike a balance between fabulousness and plausibility. It is suggested that these three principles of belief elaboration govern religious rationalisation also in other religious traditions, at least in traditions with a low level of institutionalisation.
Moslims in Nederland: reacties op discriminatie?
Authors: Maliepaard Mieke , Gijsberts Mérove
Published: June 2022

On the basis of nationally representative survey data collected among Muslim minorities from five different ethnic groups living in the Netherlands, this study (a) describes the extent to which Dutch Muslims experience discrimination, and (b) tests to what extent these experiences are related to increased religious identification and practice. The results indicate that particularly the larger and more established groups report relatively high levels of discrimination. The relation between discrimination and religious identification and practice which we expected on the basis of theories on reactive religiosity differs across groups and surveys: there is some evidence for reactive religiosity, but not in all ethnic groups. Importantly, discrimination never diminishes religious identification or practice. Implications are discussed.
Gesluierde secularisatie onder hedendaagse Nederlandse Moslims
Authors: Ajouaou Mohamed
Published: June 2022

For a long time secularisation was seen as a natural process that Dutch and other Western Muslims would inevitably undergo. This was a desire that had been cherished for a long time, politically and socially – it would signal the integration and emancipation of Muslims. In recent years, people seem to have become increasingly convinced that this expected secularisation among Muslims has not taken place, giving way instead to more orthodoxy and fundamentalism. This article argues that secularisation can be found among Muslims, both in the Netherlands and in other Western countries. The complex and confusing picture of secularisation in Islam is the result of a lack of methodology and a conceptual apparatus geared to the Islamic context.
Zoektocht en keuzes
Authors: Mbarki Sofyan
Published: June 2022

Based on my personal history as a young man of Maroccan origin, born in the Netherlands, and as a teacher and a member of the municipal council of Amsterdam, I reflect upon the choices I made in life. What made me resilient against radical forms of Islam and how can we prevent others to make radical choices? Parents have a role here, showing to be interested in the search for meaning of their children and also being well aware of their whereabouts and the friends they associate with. Furthermore profound religious education as critical counterbalance against radical ideologies is necessary. And, of no less importance, is a welcoming attitude to Muslims, to make them feel part of the Dutch society.
