Perceived teacher stress during COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Cimermanová Ivana , Krajčová Nadežda
Published: January 2024

The rapid change in education in March 2020, triggered by the pandemic, prompted an equally swift response from stakeholders, managers, teachers, and, not least, pupils. Struggling with physical, technological, and methodological problems, teachers also had to contend with the social isolation of their pupils, as well as the emotional, technical, and learning challenges faced by the pupils, all of which, of course, had an impact on their own mental and physical well-being. The aim of the study is to investigate the extent to which the ability to use online tools influences the stress teachers faced during a pandemic, similar to the effect of school and government management support on stress intensity. The sample for this study comprised 72 male and female participants between the ages of 24 and 54 years. Convenient sampling was employed to collect data. The questionnaire with binary, Likert scale, and open-ended questions was administered to the sample. Correlation tests and t-tests were used to analyze the data in this study. The research revealed a statistically significant medium negative correlation between the intensity of stress and the ability to use digital tools, as well as a similar correlation between stress and the perceived support from the government. The results indicate that teachers’ ability to use online tools significantly improved during the pandemic. However, it also highlights the urgent need for changes in teacher training education to equip pre-service teachers with 21st-century skills.

Authors: Negewo Emebet Gemeda , W Mariam Getachew Seyuom , Alemu Adege
Published: January 2024

To enhance learners’ speaking proficiency, teachers’ beliefs and classroom actions have crucial impacts in EFL classes. This study was conducted to investigate EFL teachers’ beliefs and practices in teaching speaking skills at secondary schools in Ethiopia. The study adopted descriptive and correlational research designs in which the data were collected through quantitative and qualitative methods. Sixty-four EFL teachers from some selected secondary schools were taken as a source of data. Data were collected using questionnaires, classroom observation, and semi-structured interviews. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics: frequency, percentage, and mean. Two-tailed Pearson correlation was also used to show the relationship between teachers’ beliefs and their classroom practices. Qualitative data were analyzed in a verbal and narrative description. The findings from the teachers’ responses indicated that teachers have in general positive beliefs towards teaching the speaking skills communicatively. However, classroom observation results revealed that EFL teachers’ practices of teaching speaking skills contradict what they believe to be. The overall result indicated that teachers were not teaching the speaking skills as per language teaching theories, methods, and mainly to their stated beliefs. The study also showed a moderate positive relationship between teachers’ beliefs and practices regarding teaching speaking skills. Based on the result, it was recommended that the Ethiopian Ministry of Education should offer in-service professional development programs that focus on classroom teaching of speaking skills to teachers. EFL teachers should also exert their maximum effort to put their beliefs of teaching speaking skills into practice by overcoming unfavorable conditions inside and outside the classroom environment.
Enhancing EFL students’ proverb comprehension through the conceptual metaphor approach: A cognitive linguistic perspective
Authors: Alnujaidi Sulaiman
Published: January 2024

Proverbs in English pose a challenge for EFL learners due to their metaphorical nature. This study compared three approaches to enhance EFL students’ proverb comprehension: Conventional-based, Pictorial-based, and Conceptual Metaphor-based. Pre- and post-tests were conducted on 70 EFL students divided into three groups. The Conventional-based Approach was used with 22 students, the Pictorial-based with 25, and the Conceptual Metaphor-based with 23. A one-way ANOVA revealed significant differences among the groups. The Conceptual Metaphor-based group outperformed the Conventional-based and Pictorial-based groups. It is recommended that EFL teachers adopt the Conceptual Metaphor-based Approach to deepen proverb understanding and retention. This approach enables learners to uncover the cultural values within proverbs, fostering language proficiency and critical thinking.
How do Lithuanian EFL students learn vocabulary?
Authors: Daukšaitė-Kolpakovienė Aurelija
Published: January 2024

Vocabulary is an essential part of any language. The study discussed in this article intended to explore how Lithuanian EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students studying English at Vytautas Magnus University in Kaunas, Lithuania, learn English vocabulary. To achieve the set aim, the following research questions were raised to answer: 1) Which vocabulary learning strategies (VLS) do the students use the most while studying English as a foreign language? 2) Which VLS do the students use the least while studying English as a foreign language? The study was carried out in 2023 using 31 open and closed questions in an online questionnaire that the students were asked to voluntarily fill in. The questions were based on the earlier done literature review distinguishing cognitive, social, and metacognitive vocabulary learning strategies. The students were not familiarised with the terminology of the strategies, but it was hoped that the described strategies in the given questions would also serve as useful information that the students could use while learning vocabulary in the future (if they had never used them before). As the study was both quantitative and qualitative, the latter data was processed using thematic grouping, content and descriptive analysis. The findings reveal interesting vocabulary learning preferences. Some of the VLS are used incidentally and occasionally (e.g., paraphrasing and placing words in sentences) while some others intentionally and frequently (e.g., guessing from the context or oral and written repetition).
Text-organising metadiscourse markers in academic texts
Authors: Celiešienė Vilija , Vaičienė Ingrida
Published: January 2024

This study aims to investigate the use of text-organising metadiscourse markers as a means of the author’s stance expression in academic texts from a cross-linguistic and cross-disciplinary perspectives. This comparative study analyses scientific research articles in the fields of technology and social sciences (economics) written in Lithuanian and English. The results of the study revealed that the authors of the studied articles tend to create a coherent text, therefore the markers such as transition, endophorics, and references to the text are quite often. The more frequent evidentials, which are intended to refer to the publications of other authors, show the individual choices of the authors in the field of technology, probably determined by the peculiarities of the discipline or the requirements for publications of the scientific journals regarding the scope and organisation of the text. The results of the quantitative research demonstrated that more text-organising markers were found in the articles written in Lithuanian rather than English. The cross-disciplinary research indicated that authors use text-organising markers in the scientific articles of economics more often than the authors of technological academic texts, which means that disciplinary differences prevail. Qualitative research disclosed cross-linguistic and cross-disciplinary similarities, as the analysed examples of markers were employed by authors to perform the same functions. Furthemore, a similar perception of the organisation of the text emerged. No qualitative differences were observed in the use of the text-organising markers.
Enhancing pitting corrosion inhibition of AISI 304 stainless steel using a green frankincense-modified ferric chloride solution
Authors: Masadeh Sami , Al khateeb Shadi , Ajlouni Almontaser Bellah
Published: January 2024

To inhibit pitting corrosion of AISI 304 stainless steel (SS), the effect of different percentages of frankincense addition to a 0.5 M ferric chloride solution was explored in this work for the first time. The samples were investigated for pitting corrosion susceptibility via electrochemical noise (EN) tests, where the current and potential noises were recorded for 10000 seconds, and potentiodynamic polarization. The frequency domain of EN data was analyzed using power spectral density (PSD). Frankincense addition to the ferric chloride solution effectively reduced the pitting corrosion of AISI 304 SS. The pitting inhibition was concluded from the high fluctuations in current noises over the test period, its decreasing amplitude, the greater positive potential, the lower current values, and the lower spectral noise and noise resistances with increasing frankincense additions. Optical microscope images supported pitting inhibition with frankincense addition, where pits decreased in number per mm2 and size. A significant decrease in the pit size and pits mm−2 was observed with the 10 wt.% frankincense addition. It was attributed to the adsorption of the inhibitor on the stainless steel surface, inhibiting the adsorption of chloride ions. Additionally, frankincense addition reduced the corrosion current and increased the corrosion potential positively.
Sustainable Marketing and the Challenges of Green Marketing Communication: Survey of Consumer Attitudes and Buying Behaviour for Sustainable Products in the Czech Republic
Authors: Skokanova Dagmar
Published: January 2024

Sustainability is a term that resonates throughout society in the broadest sense: from countries across continents, individual actors within communities or states – business entities, educational institutions and households, and public administrations. This is because the earth is highly likely to become unviable if we do not pursue sustainability. So many are aware of this and see sustainability as an important and no doubt long-term megatrend that affects us all. Businesses are not standing on the sidelines either, although it must be acknowledged that sustainability and economics do not always go hand in hand; however, projects with various practical sustainability benefits can be found. Unfortunately, sustainability is sometimes perceived as a topic that can be exploited in marketing in the form of “greenwashing.” This article addresses the challenges of green marketing communication, and examples from the Czech Republic are presented. Questionnaires were conducted to analyze and evaluate consumers’ attitudes and buying behavior toward sustainable products in the Czech Republic.
Orientalist Infotainment and the US Lecture Tour of Gregory M. Wortabet (1828–93)
Authors: Edwards Anthony
Published: January 2024

This article studies the US lecture tour of Gregory M. Wortabet (1828–93), a forgotten Syrian intellectual of the Arab Nahda (“Awakening” or “Renaissance”), to examine the production of knowledge about the Middle East in America in the mid-nineteenth century. A biographical sketch focusing on his Syrian Protestant identity and his association with the American Protestant missionaries in Beirut set the stage. Next, his 1852–54 lecture circuit in America as “the Syrian Traveller” illustrates that he designed his lecturing business to provide both information and entertainment. A review of his lectures draws attention to the stereotypes he proliferated, while an examination of his analysis on social and political changes in his homeland reveals that Americans learned of the Nahda as it unfolded. Lastly, a section on his critics shows how his misrepresentations of “the Orient” were not blindly accepted but rather open to scrutiny. Wortabet’s noncanonical voice in the historical archives demonstrates that America in the mid-nineteenth century was a site of Orientalism and that a man from what we now called the Middle East was among its contributors.

Published: January 2024

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to ascertain how the Wanga Village community manages land using agroforestry technologies.  Based on the observations, different component kinds are found in the sites of the respondents. Agrisilviculture, agrosilvofishery, agrosilvopasture and agroforestry patterns employed by the residents of Wanga village.
 
Method: The approach is a survey that combines field observations and interviewing methods. Purposive sampling was used to select respondents, and the indigenous inhabitants of Wanga Village who oversee agroforestry land met the selection criterion. Interviews with respondents using questionnaires. Following the research results, a descriptive analysis was conducted on the data.
 
Results and conclusion: The Wanga Village community still uses an agroforestry technique to manage their land with the help of local knowledge. The agroforestry system in Wanga Village is still used to manage land utilizing the traditional knowledge of "mapalus" or "maendo," "toki bulu," and moon observation.
 
Research implications: The way the residents of Wanga Village observe the "New Moon" phase which comes once a month when the moon is in the west, appears at sunset and the moon adopts the appearance of a crescent. The young quartile moon phase follows the "new moon" phase, which lasts for three days during which people are believed to not plant anything. After the young quartile phase, people wait six days for the big moon phase, during which they believe they cannot plant any fruit plants because they will not bear fruit.
 
Originality/value: "Toki Bulu" is a community activity on agrosilvofishery land in providing fish food. Based on the results of interviews, the community's unique way of feeding fish is by "Toki Bulu" (tapping the feathers) first to call the fish. "Mapalus" is a social activity originating from Minahasa culture and is usually called mutual cooperation. "Mapalus" for the Tountemboan people is called "Maendo" which means taking the day or taking advantage of the day to work together with other people. The Wanga Village community still carries out this activity, especially in land preparation.
Biofilm Growth of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Tgc04 Exposed to Metformin and Variations in Cod Content
Authors: Pragana Luiz Gustavo , Bandeira João Antônio Carvalho , De Lima Kaíque Yago Gervazio , Vasconcelos Ulrich
Published: January 2024

Purpose: This work aimed to evaluate the biofilm formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa TGC04 exposed to 100 and 200 µg/mL of metformin, varying the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and flow regime.
 
Theoretical framework: Metformin is an oral antidiabetic agent with antimicrobial properties, excreted in an active and unmetabolized form. Like some non-antibiotic drugs, subinhibitory concentrations of metformin may contribute to the expression of microbial resistance in wild-type strains.
 
Methods: After the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of metformin was known, nine microcosms were filled with 500 mL of synthetic wastewater with Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) at 10,000 and 1,000 mg/L in the presence of MIC and sub-MIC of metformin. Two incubation conditions were tested, with and without aeration (4 L/min). Biofilms were quantified after 2 and 24 hours at 25ºC by the crystal violet test.
 
Results and conclusion: It was observed reductions and increases in biofilm growth around 13 and 64%, respectively. The greatest biofilm growth occurred in cells exposed to 200 µg/mL of metformin. Both the flow regime and COD concentration were important for the development of the biofilm, whose cells were mostly weakly to moderately adhered.
 
Research implications: This work showed that wild strain P. aeruginosa colonize biofilms in the presence of non-antibiotic drug with antimicrobial activity.
 
Originality/value: The study provides evidence that in polluted aquatic systems with turbulent regimes, the inhibitory concentration of metformin promoted the least disturbances to the biofilm.
Physiological aspects of selected indicator species of undergrowth of old forests
Authors: Możdżeń Katarzyna , Barabasz-Krasny Beata , Galera Halina , Antkowiak Wojciech , Wódkiewicz Maciej
Published: January 2024

The study concerns the study of selected physiological features of three indicator species of the undergrowth of the oak-hornbeam forest (Anemone nemorosa L., Galeobdolon luteum Huds. emend. Holub and Stellaria holostea L.), after the forest canopy closure. Las Wolski, an isolated forest complex located within the city of Cracow (Southern Poland), was selected for the study. The plant material was collected at two points in the season – right after the forest canopy closure and a month later. Under laboratory conditions, the physiological characteristics of the indicator species were analysed. Light stress may play a smaller role here, and physiological parameters are probably most affected by the phenology of undergrowth species, which is adapted to seasonal changes in habitat conditions. However, these issues require more research.

Numerical Analysis for Streamer Discharge at the Discharge Transition from the Second to the Third Mode in Transformers Oil
Authors: Khalaf Sami A. , Khalaf Thamir H.
Published: January 2024

This study is a numerical analysis of the transition process from the second to the third mode in transformer oil. In this study, it was determined how to change from the second to the third mode, which is thought to be a precursor to the process of electrical breakdown, which results in a significant loss of electrical energy and harm to electrical devices and equipment. The initiation time, length, rate of propagation velocity, and radius of the streamer discharge were determined. The transition from the second to the third mode during the electrical discharge process may lead to the occurrence of an electrical breakdown, which is one of the greatest challenges facing scientists and engineers who deal with the electrical power of transmission and generation devices. The model was designed by AutoCAD software, which included two electrodes: a needle, with a tip radius of (4µm), and a plate, with a gap of (1 mm) between them. The gap between the two electrodes was filled with transformer oil. The equations, which are Poisson's equation and the continuity equations for positive and negative ions and electrons, which are generated by applying an applied voltage (from 27 kV to within 278 kV), had been solved by a simulation process. All the schematics and drawings were extracted by the Comsol Multiphysics program.
Effect of s-Klotho Protein, GPX, Visfatin, Leptin and ROS of Iraqi Women with Breast Cancer
Authors: Ascar Israa F. , Fadhel Suha Nasser
Published: January 2024

The most prevalent cancer is breast cancer, and the incidence of breast cancer in women worldwide is increasing at a remarkably rapid rate. This study was conducted on 90 samples (45 newly diagnosed breast cancer samples and 45 control group samples), ranging in age from 35 to 70 years. Blood samples were collected from the Alawia Teaching Hospital and the Oncology Teaching Hospital between October 2020 and March 2021. ELISA assessed ROS, GPX, visfatin, IGF-1, vitamin A, leptin, and soluble al-Klotho. The results indicate that the breast cancer patients had significantly higher (ROS 3.57, visfatin 17.44) (ng/mL) (p<0.0001) and leptin 16.11 (ng/mL). In the group of patients, there was a significant increase (p<0.004) compared with the control group, whereas there were no significant differences between IGF-1 (624.72 pg/mL) (p>0.507), s-Klotho 398.22 ng/L (p>0.653), and vitamin A 69.49 umol/L (p<0.05). The results showed a negative correlation among the levels of patients with BC (ROS and vitamin A, GPX, IGF-1, GPX, leptin, and vitamin A). Finally, the current study concludes that vitamin A deficiency is one of the important factors that may influence the clinical evolution and prognosis of patients with breast cancer. Moreover, it was shown that the higher levels of leptin and visfatin could increase the danger in BC cases. The study measured levels of leptin and visfatin, which can increase the danger in BC cases, and measured ROS in patients.
Modeling and Analysis of A Prey-Predator System Incorporating Fear, Predator-Dependent Refuge, with Cannibalism In Prey
Authors: Abdul ghafour Ahmed Sami , Naji Raid Kamel
Published: January 2024

The relationship between prey and predator populations is hypothesized and examined using a mathematical model. Predation fear, cannibalism among the prey population, and a refuge reliant on predators are predicted to occur. This study set out to look at the long-term behavior of the proposed model and the effects of its key elements. The solution properties of the model were investigated. All potential equilibrium points' existence and stability were looked at. The system's persistence requirements were established. What circumstances could lead to local bifurcation near equilibrium points was uncovered. Suitable Lyapunov functions are used to study the system's overall dynamics. Numerical simulations were conducted to verify the model's derived long-term behavior and understand the implications of the model's primary parameters in order to support the analytical conclusions. It is observed that the system undergoes different types of local bifurcation including Hopf bifurcation.

Authors: Batov V. E. , Kuznetsov S. M. , Logatkin S. M. , Lizunov Yu. V.
Published: January 2024

Relevance. According to scientific publications, preventive measures undertaken amid the COVID-19 pandemic failed to did reliably protect healthcare workers from the new coronavirus infection. The use of personal protective equipment (PPE) that protected against biological factors failed to protect HCWs from becoming infected and in most cases contributed to the functional disorders and impaired health. The objective is to provide evidence-based justification of preventive measures aimed at increasing healthcare workers’ (HCW) safety by using PPE during elimination of biological and social emergencies (based on the case of the COVID-19 pandemic).

Methods. The study design included four consecutive stages: occupational morbidity assessment for COVID-19, assessment of HCWs’ working conditions; assessment of HCWs’ safety when using PPE sets in real setting and simulation, and justification of preventive measures to improve safety of HCWs.

Results and discussion. The first year of the COVID-19 pandemic saw the incidence of 30.4 % among all HCWs working at the Military Medical Academy, suggesting a high risk of infection transmission. Morbidity was utmost among HCWs specializing in infections, followed by a significant number of HCWs who do not work in contaminated areas on a daily basis (surgeons, urologists, traumatologists). In addition to high incidence rate, the new coronavirus infection pandemic demanded enforcement of specific measures associated with the use of PPE at increased physical stress, including amid elevated ambient temperature. A sociological survey and experimental data allowed to assess the risk of functional and heat-injury related health disorders, as well as injuries in HCWs using PPEs. In order to reinforce occupational safety and minimize occupational risks of health deterioration in HCWs wearing PPEs at work, the research results allowed to develop a two-stage preventive action plan: stage 1 includes identification of dangerous factors, whereas stage 2 focuses on preventive measures to eliminate negative impact of hazards and associated risks.

Conclusion. A set of preventive measures developed for the COVID-19 pandemic suggests practical tools to reinforce occupational safety for HCWs who use PPEs to deliver biological and social emergency response and elimination.

Authors: Yusupov V. V. , Fishchenko D. E. , Yatmanov A. N. , Grigoriev S. G.
Published: January 2024

Relevance. Machine learning methods allow for high-accuracy classification and prediction of various conditions and outcomes in humans. The choice of the most optimal method is critical for researchers. The objectiveis to evaluate the effectiveness of machine learning methods in predicting cadet maladaptation.

Methods. The investigators examined 1822 cadets aged 18 to 27 years studying at the Federal State Higher Military Educational Institution “The Military Educational and Scientific Centre of the Navy “The Naval Academy named alter Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union N.G. Kuznetsov”. The subjects were divided into 2 groups: normal (n = 1507) and maladaptation (n = 315). The examination was carried out using the Multifactorial Score for Adaptability Evaluation and the KR-3-85 intellectual development test. Statistical processing was carried out using the Stat Soft Statistica 10.0 software package. The normality of indicators was verified using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. Comparative analysis of indicators with normal distribution was assessed by Student’s t-test. Spearman rank correlation analysis was performed to assess multicollinearity of data. Mathematical modeling was carried out using neural networks, discriminant analysis, and the Bayesian algorithm. The effectiveness of the models was assessed by sensitivity and specificity parameters.

Results and discussion. Neural networks and Bayesian algorithm are powerful classification tools, allowing to reliably classify cadets with socio-psychological maladjustment. At the same time, the Bayesian algorithm is characterized by high sensitivity, whereas neural networks show by high specificity. Loss of data is a well-known disadvantage of discriminant analysis modeling. This, discriminant analysis failed to classify cadets with social and psychological maladjustment.

Conclusion. The use of machine learning will increase the efficiency of medical and psychological support for cadets. Neural networks are the optimal method to predict maladaptation.

Practical Approaches to Cultivating the Value of Sustainable Developmental Education in Korean Music Education
Authors:   Gyeongin National University of Education, Kim A-Hyun
Published: January 2024

This study presented various practical approaches to cultivating the values ultimately aimed by sustainable development education in Korean music education based on the 2022 revised music curriculum.
To this end, first, literature research was reviewed to identify the meaning and value of sustainable developmental education and the connection between the 2022 revised music curriculum and sustainable developmental education. Second, on the basis of its characteristics, the relationship between Korean music education and sustainable developmental education was examined. Third, practical approaches to cultivating the value of education for sustainable development in Korean music education were presented.
Four practical approaches reflecting the value of education for sustainable development in Korean music education were presented. The first is to communicate with generations through Korean music. The value of respecting human rights and future generations was cultivated through learning traditional children’s songs and creating Korean children’s songs. The second is examining the relationship of Korean music with nature and life. It is a way to cultivate the values of respecting human rights, future generations, and ecological diversity. Third, it is to value various local music cultures by appreciating Korean music and cultural heritage, talking about how to protect and preserve Korean music and cultural heritage for future generations, and cultivating the values of respecting human rights, future generations, and cultural diversity. Fourth, what should be done to promote sustainable Korean music in the world? The value of respecting human rights, future generations, and cultural diversity was cultivated by finding ways to improve and solve Korean music and cultural heritage registered in UNESCO to continue to maintain its status in the world. This study focused on cultivating the value of sustainable developmental education by linking it with the value of Korean music, not the content approach of Korean music education. Therefore, it is very important to highlight values and ask appropriate questions from teachers so that learners can cultivate them. Therefore, starting with this study, I hope that inquiry research, teaching and learning methods, and data-related studies will continue to cultivate the value of teachers.

Authors:   Gyeongin National University of Education, Ahn Ji-Hoon , Kim In-Woo
Published: January 2024

This study emphasizes female teachers’ enthusiasm for physical education (PE) class and efficacy for teacher-student relations as variables that affect elementary female teachers’ subjective satisfaction with PE class. Furthermore, it statistically verifies the interaction effect of efficacy for teacher-student relations in the relationship between enthusiasm and satisfaction with PE class. Thus, a survey was conducted targeting 122 female teachers who teach PE at elementary schools to measure teacher enthusiasm, teacher efficacy for teacher-student relations, and subjective PE class satisfaction. Based on the collected data, descriptive statistical, correlation, hierarchical regression, and interaction effect analyses were conducted. Thus, teachers’ enthusiasm for PE class and teacher efficacy for teacher–student relations perceived by female elementary school teachers demonstrated a significant positive correlation with subjective PE class satisfaction. In addition, the positive influence of teacher enthusiasm and teacher-student relationship efficacy on PE class satisfaction was verified. Moreover, the teacher efficacy for teacher-student relations positively moderates the relationship between enthusiasm for PE class and subjective PE class satisfaction.

Published: January 2024

Effects of waterlogging on the growth of six accessions of Sphenostylis stenocarpa were investigated. There accessions were TSs-5, TSs-7, TSs-8, TSs-9 TSs-10 and TSs-11. After growing S. stenocarpa for 4 weeks, results indicated that waterlogging significantly (p=0.05) reduced its growth parameters of S. stenocarpa. For shoot length; TSs-9 recorded the highest value (48.27±2.92 cm) above its control while TSs-11 (17.96±1.13 cm) had the lowest value. For petiole length, TSs-9 (3.62±0.33 cm) recorded the highest value while TSs-8 (0.93±0.93 cm) recorded the lowest value. Internode length had TSs-7 (6.10±0.78 cm) had the highest value while TSs-8 (2.87±2.87 cm) had the lowest value. The total photosynthetic pigment measurement showed that TSs-5 (45.0±0.65 mg/kg) with the highest value and TSs-8 (33.37±14.00 mg/kg) had the lowest value. For leaf area, TSs-7 (25.73±4.21 cm2) had the highest value while TSs-11 (16.13±2.82 cm2) recorded the lowest value. Total Fresh Weight (TFW), TSs-7 recorded the highest value (4.96 g) while TSs-8 recorded the lowest value (1.75 g). Root Fresh Weight (RFW), Tss-5 was observed to have the highest value (1.44 g) while Tss-11 recorded the lowest value (0.56 g). However, at 2 weeks after planting the effect of waterlogging stress on the growth parameter was not significant. The reduction in the growth of S. stenocarpa as a result of waterlogging stress might be due to the detrimental effect of flooding on O2 availability for plant cells and other plant metabolic activities of the plant. In areas with waterlogged soil conditions, S. stenocarpa should not be cultivated as it has poor and relatively low tolerance towards withstanding the impact of waterlogging; however, accession TSs-9 showed promising waterlogging tolerance ability.
ESTUDIO TEÓRICO-PRÁCTICO DE TALLER DE INTELIGENCIA EMOCIONAL EN EL AULA MEDIANTE EL EMPLEO DE TÉCNICAS DE COMUNICACIÓN

Authors: Pérez Moreno Almudena , Vida Rueda Julio Jonás
Published: January 2024

Estudios recientes nos muestran los beneficios de la inteligencia emocional en la educación y cada vez es más la literatura que se publica al respecto. Sin embargo, son escasos los programas de formación para personas que tienen un papel en la actividad educativa (madres, padres, profesores, tutores, estudiantes, etc.). El objetivo de este estudio es fundamentar la importancia de desarrollar la inteligencia emocional en educación y promover su difusión con actividades prácticas. Para ello se estudia la literatura publicada sobre el tema y se presenta el caso de un taller realizado en la Universidad de Almería titulado “Inteligencia emocional en el aula: Técnicas de comunicación.”. En dicho taller se ponen en práctica las competencias del modelo de inteligencia emocional propuesto por Daniel Goleman, a través de varias actividades, y se dota a los participantes de técnicas y herramientas para trabajar la inteligencia emocional tanto en el aula como en su día a día. Los asistentes tienen diferentes roles en el ámbito educativo y forman parte de diferentes grupos de edad, lo que enriquece la perspectiva del estudio. Se presentan los datos recogidos de la encuesta que realizan los participantes en la que, junto con la experiencia de los ponentes en dicho taller, se evidencia no solo que se comparte que debería de haber más formación práctica en inteligencia emocional, sino que la creencia de que existiría un alto grado de influencia en el desarrollo personal y el bienestar de los estudiantes si se contase con la inteligencia emocional en el aula es unánime.

The Mercury Orbiter Radio Science Experiment onboard the European Space Agency/Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) BepiColombo mission aims at determining the gravity field and the rotational state of the planet to provide insight into its internal structure and at performing tests of general relativity. The experiment will rely on accurate radiometric data provided by the onboard Ka-band transponder and on measurements of the nonconservative perturbations acting on the spacecraft, provided by the Italian Spring Accelerometer. This paper presents a software implementation of a pseudo-drag-free system which includes the accelerometer measurements in the orbit determination process. Numerical simulations focus on the identification of a suitable calibration strategy to fulfill the experiment goals pertaining to geodesy and geophysics. The achievement of the expected scientific results will depend meaningfully on the quality of the accelerometer data. Perturbative analysis aided in the identification of a calibration strategy for the accelerometer data processing that allows obtaining an unbiased solution and compensating for accelerometer errors.
Songs and Hymns for Hathor as Gold from the Old Kingdom to the Late Period. Part I. Corpora of Texts and Complementary Document
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (España), Borrego Gallardo Francisco L.
Published: January 2024

The form of Hathor as Nbw ‘Gold’ is one of her least known aspects before the Graeco-Roman period and lacks a specific study. This is partly due to the nature of the sources for the period between the Old Kingdom and the end of the Late Period. In them, she emerges as one of the oldest deities to appear in songs and hymns, dating back to the second half of the Old Kingdom. Analysis of these hymnic and musical contexts provides insights into the Egyptian religiosity and culture of that period and later times. This study has been divided into two parts. The first one is presented here, and it consists of the corpus of songs and hymns, together with two complementary corpora for the study of this form of Hathor. These include collected inscriptional data and onomastics, reviews of selected readings, and consideration of prosodic aspects.

Police organizations have been attempting to change to human rights-friendly police by reorganizing the human rights-related legal system. However, questions still remain as to how much citizens are experiencing such changes and whether they are highly receptive to the police's human rights policy. Therefore, this study attempted to analyze citizens' perceptions of the police's human rights protection policy and what variables affect their perceptions. Specifically, the effect of the experience of human rights violations through the media, police trust, and human rights policy awareness on citizens' perceptions of the police's human rights protection policy was empirically analyzed. To this end, an online survey was conducted on a sample of 800 people proportionally allocated by gender, age, and region. As a result of the analysis, the average of the questions on the relationship between police activities and human rights was all over 3.4. In addition, citizens recognized that the life safety function was most related to human rights protection activities. Citizens highly recognized the necessity of the criminal management system and the victim assessment report. As a result of regression analysis, it was confirmed that the experience of human rights violations through the media, trust in the police, and awareness of the human rights policy had a statistically significant effect on the Citizens' perception of the police's human rights protection policies.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of mock juror's gender, the resistance and intellectual disability of victim on punishment judgments in a sexual assault case, this study is designed with between subjects 2(resistance: do vs do not) X 2(intellectual disability: present vs absent). Participants, aged 20 to 59 eligible for jury duty nationwide, were presented with manipulated trial scenarios and narratives regarding the resistance and intellectual disability of victim. Subsequently, they were asked to provide judgments on guilty/not guilty, probability of guilt, sentencing, as well as to provide Korean Hostile Sexism ratings. Although there was no interaction effect between the victim resistance and intellectual disability of victim on the probability of guilt and sentencing, the probability of guilt was higher when resistance was present and when there was an intellectual disability. Additionally, sentencing was higher when there was an intellectual disability. The study findings indicated that female were more likely than male to render guilty verdicts. Further analysis revealed a sequential mediating effect between gender and sentencing judgments, mediated by hostile sexism ratings and judgment of consent to sexual intercourse. In other words, men had a higher level of hostile sexism ratings than women, and the higher hostile sexism ratings, the higher the degree of sexual consent. The higher the degree of sexual consent, the lower the punitive judgment.

The type of COVID-19 infectious disease has brought many changes to daily life through strong quarantine policies. Especially, as face-to-face activities were limited, the time spent at home increased, which led to a problem of increasing crimes occurring within the home. In particular, child abuse cases increased by 21.67% compared to the previous year to 37,605 cases in 2021, demonstrating the seriousness of the child abuse problem in the pandemic situation. This study aims to identify current issues on child abuse at the point of transition to an endemic and propose alternatives. To achieve the purpose of the study, a theoretical framework was reviewed based on prior research. The data collected were media materials from 2019, before the outbreak of the coronavirus, to 2022, when face-to-face education was conducted. Based on the collected data, we attempted to identify current issues by dividing the point of view into before, during, and after the COVID-19 infectious disease. For the analysis of the study, TEXTOM was used, and N-gram analysis was conducted to check the frequency of words and the prevalence of associated words to derive key subject words and main keywords, and CONCOR analysis was conducted to confirm the discourse implicit in the document. Based on the analysis of news articles, it was confirmed that the main issues related to child abuse were related to response, prevention, and protection. Based on the analysis results, policy suggestions were made, including measures for responding to and preventing child abuse and preventing the spread of secondary damage online
