100 years later, little has changed in Brazil: disinformation and pandemic
Authors: Heslley Machado Silva
Published: December 2021

About 100 years separate the last two pandemics that hit humanity, but scientific development does not seem to have impacted Brazilian society, including its leaders. Remedies without scientific proof, obviously without effectiveness, have been used in Brazil against the Spanish flu and nothing has changed against COVID-19. But perhaps today the process of disinformation is worse because the Internet and social networks are too efficient to spread Fake News, resulting in doctors, politicians and journalists prescribing all kinds of innocuous medicines. In this way, Brazil and its government conduct an erratic confrontation of the disease, based on scientific denialism, with tragic results.

Authors: Maria Najjuka Sarah , Checkwech Gaudencia , Olum Ronald , Ashaba Scholastic , Mohan Kaggwa Mark
Published: December 2021

Background: COVID19 pandemic forced most countries to lockdown, leading to the prolonged closure of many learning institutions. This dramatic shift led to increase of mental illness symptoms among university students.

Objective: To determine the prevalence and factors associated with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress among Uganda’s university students during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Methods: We conducted a one-month online survey using the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21).

Results: Participants n=321 were enrolled with mean age, 24.8(SD=5.1) years and 198(61.7%) were males. The prevalence of mental health symptoms among participants was 80.7%, 98.4%, and 77.9% for depression, high levels of anxiety,and stress, respectively. Statistically significant association between mental health symptoms on multi-logistic regression was found with Males (depression=2.97[1.61–5.48] and stress=1.90[1.07–3.35]), engagement in leisure activity (depression= 1.87[1.01–3.49] and stress=1.98[1.10–3.56]), and being finalist (stress=0.55[0.31– 0.97]). Use of addictive substances seem to potentially alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress in the short term. 

Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest a high prevalence of symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress among university students during the COVID-19 lockdown. Students’ mental health should be monitored by all stakeholders, especially as the pandemic progresses.

How advertisers create affinity between destinations and American and British audiences: towards a theoretical framework
Authors: Avraham Eli
Published: December 2021

The purpose of this paper is to propose a theoretical framework that explores how advertisers attempt to establish affinity between destinations and British and American audiences. The proposed framework consists of four spheres, five techniques, two message strategies and four means. This framework will be presented through a qualitative content analysis of 103 cases, selected from almost 2500 print advertisements and YouTube videos. The print advertisements were published in four major tourism magazines between 2007 and 2019. Besides the theoretical contribution, a study of audience affinity that analyses many cases might be helpful for marketers and policy makers, giving them ideas of how to reach and touch specific audiences.
Franklin D. Roosevelt and the American Theatre Standard: The low vowels
Authors: Urban Mateusz
Published: December 2021

Franklin D. Roosevelt’s accent is often used as an illustration of the elite pronunciation heard among the north-eastern US upper classes until roughly the mid 20th century. Known under several names and often considered a mixture of British and American features, this variety is frequently identified with the American Theatre Standard, a norm popularized by acting schools in the early 20th century. Working on the assumption that Roosevelt is an exemplar of the north-eastern standard, the aim of the current study is a preliminary acoustic exploration of his accent with the aim of assessing the plausibility of such comparisons, focusing on the dress, trap, bath, start and lot vowels. Density plots created based on F1 and F2 measured in eight radio speeches were used to examine the relative position of these vowels in the vowel space. Linear mixed-effects regression was then used to model F1 and F2 in selected pairs of vowels to determine whether the differences along the two formant dimensions are significant. The results confirm a conclusion reached in an earlier auditory study (Brandenburg, Braden 1952) according to which Roosevelt’s bath was variable between [æ] and a lower and retracted [a], a vowel quality found in Eastern New England and in American Theatre Pronunciation. At the same time, a merged start/lot vowel in Roosevelt’s speech makes it unjustified to fully identify his accent with the latter variety.
Języki wody – dialog
Authors: Owczarska Małgorzata , Wagner Iwona
Published: December 2021

Languages of Water – Dialogue

The text is an experimental sketch based on a dialogue between an ecohydrologist and an anthropologist of culture. The authors will subject a critical, interdisciplinary reflection to various water languages used colloquially or in selected professional discourses. They will ask themselves what water is in different contexts, how it is spoken of, how it is thought of, how it is treated and what role water related languages play in times of climate crisis. After all, it is reasonable to ask whether water is a resource, chemical compound, life, service provider, stakeholder, law, or sewage. Based on examples in contemporary discussion on water and the associated blue-green infrastructure the authors distinguish several trends in different ways of talking about water: economic, medical, defensive, scientific and communitarian. They will reflect on the mechanisms comparable to colonial ones that determine the domination of some and the infantilization or cancelation of others, especially the communitarian ones. This dialogue will reveal an “intercellular” permeability of water definitions and how easily water can assume some meaning to escape it and create a series of new ones.
Fenicjanie a sprawa polska. Problemy reprezentacji w „Faraonie” Bolesława Prusa
Authors: Forajter Wacław
Published: December 2021

[Phoenicians and the Polish Cause. Problems of Representationin Bolesław Prus’s Faraon]

This article proposes to reflect on selected paradoxes of representation in Bolesław Prus’s novel Faraon [The Pharaoh]. First of all, the author discusses the validity of the notions of “truth” / “falsehood” in literary studies and proves that there is no reason for applying them to fiction. Then, he focuses on the depiction of the uncanny magician Beroes and his actions, which transgress realistic standards of probability. Finally, the author argues that the analogy between the novel’s fictional Phoenicians and 19th-century Polish Jews drawn by some researchers is unjustified both because of the novel’s narrative mode and the writer’s opinions expressed in his other texts.
Henryk Sienkiewicz wobec kryteriów rasowo-antropologicznych. O listach Z wystawy antropologicznej w Paryżu

[Henryk Sienkiewicz and Racial-Anthropological Criteria. On the Letters Z wystawy antropologicznej w Paryżu] This article discusses Henryk Sienkiewicz’s approach to the 19th-century “scientific racism” in his “letters” (press reportage) Z wystawy antropologicznej w Paryżu [From the Anthropological Exhibition in Paris] (1878). The paper proves that the writer’s attitude towards such anthropological criteria as the cephalic index, facial angle, skull volume, and hair shape was significantly influenced by Oscar Peschel’s work The Races of Man and Their Geographical Distribution (1876).

The “Storms and Turns of History”: Emigration Narratives in the 20th Century in Polish and Hungarian History Textbooks
Authors: Szisz Nóra
Published: December 2021

History textbooks are special sources, reflecting on the era in which they were published. They play a role in formation of national identity and shape students’ perception of the past and their relation to the present. Central Europe’s recent media have given considerable attention to emigration. How do history textbooks narrate migration? This paper explores how the current history textbooks in Hungary and Poland narrate mass emigration. Findings reveal several reasons for the mass migration named by the textbooks, which include a desire for improved economic and living conditions. The treatment of emigrant groups as transnational populations in both Hungarian and Polish narratives suggests that they are separated from their home country’s national history and in a way ‘step out’ of its flow – however, the narratives appearing in the Polish textbooks deal with the overall neglected groups in greater depth. In addition, this research explores how these textbooks treat these transnational populations.
Lojalność i wiarołomstwo jako oś Cezariańskiej narracji poświęconej wojnie: propaganda i kontekst kulturowy w Commentarii de bello Gallico
Authors: Faszcza Michał Norbert
Published: December 2021

Loyalty and deception as the axis of Caesar’s narrative concerning war: propaganda and the cultural context in Commentarii de bello Gallico

There is no doubt that justifying Caesar’s subsequent military campaigns using the argument of barbarians’ disloyalty is too frequent to treat them in a different way than the immanent part of his literary creations. Valuation of their conduct in terms of loyalty – deception had to be based on a pattern having strong cultural roots, otherwise it would not fulfill its role. Explaining specifics of Caesar’s war narrative solely by the requirements of political propaganda does not appear to be sufficient, so cultural context should be considered as well. The author casts in doubt the possibility of direct transferring the Greek concept of ‘barbarity’ into Caesar’s narration, paying attention to the Roman perception of the ‘other’ as understood by Georg Simmel instead. Consequently, it is possible to explain why some Gauls were described as loyal, while others were portrayed as prone to betrayal, although they belonged to the same cultural circle. The essence of the difference was the attitude towards Roman rule, not only the non‑Roman origin or different lifestyle. Determinants such as the perennial fear of Gauls (metus Gallicus) and the conviction of Rome’s unique destiny can not be also omitted, especially since they are closely related to the first aspect.

[Betrayal of humanity. The red terror of the Bolsheviks in Crimea during the civil war in 1918–1920 in the light of Ivan Szmielev’s novel “The Sun of the Dead”]

The article analyzes the novel by the Russian writer Ivan Szmielev “The Sun of the Dead” (1923). It was written on the basis of historical events. I analyze the composition of the work, which is based on two symbols – the sun and death. The sun symbolizes the rich and beautiful Crimea, and deathis a symbol of the new power – the power of the Bolsheviks who destroyed this wonderful land of Crimea. The author of the article emphasizes the autobiographical nature of the story “The Sun of the Dead”. Its narration is based on a firstperson story by Ivan Szmielev. This is a feature of lyrical prose. Describing the tragic events of total red terror, hunger and the struggle for survival, Ivan Szmielevs howsthat death affects everyone – people, animals, birds, trees, plants. The author of the article also emphasizes the philosophical and humanistic aspect of the work, which shows the history of humanity and human survival in an extreme situation, when very few are lucky enough to resist and not become victims of brutal murders of the Bolsheviks or starvation. In the process of the story, the image of the desert appears – a metaphor with which the writer emphasizes the scale of the destructive activity of the Bolsheviks.

[Difficult beginnings of secondary education „on high mountain pastures”. The Private Mixed Gimnazjum of the Polish People’s School Association in Hutsul Kosiv (1937–1939)]
In the south-eastern outskirts of Poland between the wars, the school network was not developed enough to satisfy local community. That is why in Hutsul Kosiv (Kosów Huculski) in 1937, measures were taken to make it possible for schoolchildren to obtain secondary school education. The institution which was established was a private mixed secondary school (gimnazjum). The licensee was the local People’s School Association. Though the school functioned only three years, it had managed to become firmly established. The teaching staff had all the required qualifications. The number of students grew fast. The necessary facilities (the building, the library and teaching aids) were improving. Parents and caregivers showed considerable involvement in the school life. The school’s achievements were recognized when by the decision of the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Public Education of May 1939 the school was granted the rights of a state comprehensive secondary school as of the school year 1939/1940. Unfortunately, the decision could not take force.
Dominikanie tarnobrzescy w czasach II wojny światowej w świetle kroniki zakonnej. Edycja krytyczna
Authors: Matyja Katarzyna
Published: December 2021

[The Dominicans in Tarnobrzeg during the Second World War in the light of a monastic chronicle. A critical edition]
The aim of the article is to edit an unknown and unused source, i.e. the chronicle of the Tarnobrzeg monastery from 1939–1945. The edition was preceded by a short introduction to the history of the Dominican community in Tarnobrzeg. For the almost entire period of the occupation, Father Fabian Madura was the prior of the monastery in Tarnobrzeg, and in his activities – also for the benefit of the needy – he was characterized by great courage. He acted on many levels: among others he organized aid for the displaced persons from Wielkopolska, or a kitchen for the poorest. He was active in ministry: he founded a choir which performed numerous charity concerts. Other fathers and brothers who lived in the monastery helped him in all the activities. The source delivers a lot of information about the life of monks in Tarnobrzeg and the history of the city in the war period. The entries from September 1939, when the Nazis invaded the city, are particularly interesting, as well as from the turn of July and August 1944 – at that time Tarnobrzeg was „liberated” by the Soviet army. As a result of these activities, many buildings – including those belonging to the Dominicans – were seriously damaged, which is also mentioned in the presented source.

Constitutional transition to democracy in Spain
Authors: Zhukov N. N.
Published: December 2021

In this article the author analyses formation of the country's constitutional legislation system. In the 20th century Spain experienced three different periods: the years of the Second Republic in 1931-1939, the Franco's dictatorship of 1939-1975 and the period of transition to democracy or, as it is called ‘constitutional transit' of 1975-1980, when the basic laws and regulations of democratic Spain were adopted. Each of these periods corresponded with fundamentally different lawmaking processes, based on different legal judicial norms that were strongly influenced by the peculiarities of the political situation in the country. This article examines the background of the creation of Spanish constitutions in a particular historical period, the domestic and international situation and its influence on the peculiarities of lawmaking process. The author studies the history of the constitutional documents' adoption, considers and examines their structure and content in a highly detailed way. The author scrutinizes not only the logic, but also the sequence and reasons for the adoption of all Spanish constitutional and legal acts, as well as their meaning and influence on the legal system of the state. The Fundamental Laws of Frankish Spain, as well as the Spanish Constitution of 1978, the Political Reform Act, the rulings of the Spanish Constitutional Court and other acts, the peculiarities of the transition process to democracy and the legal break with the Frankish epoch and its system of lawmaking are studied in the article. It is worth noting that, at a time when the exist opinions that the Spanish Constitution is outdated and needs reforming, the conclusion about its fundamental role for the peaceful transition to a new Spain at the end of the 20th century and its legal relevance is the issue of utmost importance.

O presente trabalho busca analisar a relação entre o filme Berkeley Square (1933) e a obra do escritor americano H. P. Lovecraft. Embora não fosse um grande admirador do cinema, a película analisada parece ter sido um caso em que o autor se impactou com a história a ponto de utilizá-la como inspiração para algumas de suas ideias. O conto The Shadow Out of Time (1936) parece ter sido a versão lovecraftiana de Berkeley Square e a relação entre as obras é, de fato, curiosa. Aqui, iremos apresentar um pouco sobre o autor e o filme citado para podermos compreender melhor como se dá esse curioso diálogo. A rica mitologia de Lovecraft é sempre um curioso terreno a ser investigado, e nesse caso, uma inusitada inspiração em um filme nos fornece um interessante material sobre o escritor.

In this research, I examine how the structure of the project organization, specifically how the concentration of power affects conflict and ultimately performance.
Data Mining based Inferences about Software Parameters
Authors: BATAR Mustafa , BİRANT Kökten
Published: December 2021

Up to now, several criteria (software parameters) have been determined in order to measure and evaluate software development projects: Productivity, engagement, attention to quality, code base knowledge and management, adherence to coding guidelines and techniques, learning and skills, personal responsibility and etc. However, there isn’t any universally accepted criteria or a methodology to measure and evaluate software development projects. In this context, for preparing the background of the study, several researches have been studied about “Software Development Projects”, “Software Development Process” and “Software Development Measurement and Evaluation”. Also, with this literature study, the common criteria set about measurement and evaluation of software development projects has been created, generated and presented. In addition, some information has been got and taken from 105 software experts (software analyzers, software developers and managers) with 55 different software companies so as to evaluate the use of the common criteria in real work life, and to identify criteria which are not seen in researches before, but used in real work life. Accordingly, a measurement and evaluation criteria set (software parameters) about the software development projects has been created based on the data mining algorithm – “Association Rule Mining Apriori Algorithm” – with its 12 inferences. This set has also consisted of 10 software parameters with 6 dual relationships. With the light of these data, the designed and developed software parameters have had high validation with more than 75 percent accuracy rate. As a natural result of this, the study will have had a positive effect on software engineering by shedding light on its working domain – software development.

Posthumous control of copyright, its limitations and the public interest
Authors: Oriakhogba Desmond Osaretin , Adeola-Adedipe Gloria Kanwulia
Published: December 2021

Conducted as a desk research, this paper examines the interface between copyright and succession laws, the notion of testamentary freedom, its limitations and justification for its restriction. The paper draws on this examination to discuss the freedom of authors to dispose their copyright under testate and intestate arrangements, and posthumously control the use of their works under the Nigerian Copyright Act. Following this discussion, the paper identifies and examines the relevant provisions of the Copyright Act that can limit the capacity of authors to posthumously control the use of their works in Nigeria. The paper contends that authors’ liberty to transfer their copyright by testamentary disposition or operation of law, and control the use of their works posthumously, without public interest friendly limitations, can create an imbalance within the copyright system. This paper addresses the issues of whether public interest objectives may be achieved through the limitation in the extant Copyright Act, especially given the propensity for copyright misuse by authors in death, as well as during their lifetime, and what policy options may align the public interest with authors’ posthumous control of copyright. In resolving these questions, the paper draws on instances of copyright misuse in the United States of America (USA) and South Africa and situates them within the Nigerian context to shed light on the issues discussed.

Authors: Nkoane Paul
Published: December 2021

The jurisdiction of the South African Constitutional Court has been extended for the court to administer ‘matters of general public importance’ in addition to administering constitutional matters. There is no South African court that accepted appeals on the grounds that the matter raised an arguable point of law of general public importance. This novelty in the South African law requires an inspection of other jurisdictions to determine which matters the Constitutional Court should accept for appeals. In this respect, the article inspects the Supreme Court of the United States case docket to determine the kinds of cases the court accepts for appeals.

Authors: Mucheke Charles Muthiaine , Bailasha Nicholas , Waiganjo Luka Boro
Published: December 2021

Purpose: The study sought to establish whether academic status of the coach predicted team performance in the Kenyan national soccer and volleyball leagues.

Methodology: The Cross-Sectional survey used a population of the 53 head coaches handling team in the Kenyan soccer and volleyball leagues in the 2020-2021 season. Census sampling was used to pick the 53 coaches for the study. Data collection instrument was a self-administered questionnaire. The Leadership Scale for Sport questionnaire (LSS) was used to capture player’s perception on coach competence. The coaches’ questionnaire was divided into sections which captured demographics and academic background. The study used Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS Version 22) for data analysis. Information was organized and presented using descriptive statistics and was analyzed at 0.05 significance level. Chi-Square and Fisher’s Exact test was used to predict coach academic status on the team’s performance. Data was projected in figures and tables and relevant discussions were made.

Findings: Chi square and Fisher’s Exact Test results showed that coaches academic status had a significant effect on team performance (χ2 =18.419, 0.031 ≤ p 0.05 9df). The fisher’s exact test had a p value of 0.016 which was also less than 0.05 confirming that there was a significant relationship between coaches’ academic status and team performance.

Conclusion and Recommendation: The study concluded that coaches’ academic status had a significant effect on team performance. Team managers, owners and other stake holders in sports need to take up educated coaches. This is because educated coaches learn a diverse way of communication including humor, which in turns benefits communication between coaches and players which enhances team performance in the long run. In addition, coaches that are not educated need to go back to school and further their education. This will enable them to gain more skills that will be help in their teams’ performance.

Published: December 2021

Objective: The objective of this study was to examine and determine future directions in regard to future machine learning techniques based on the review of the current literature.

Methodology: A systematic review has been used to review the current trends from the peer-reviewed journal articles in the past twenty years. For this study, four categories have been categorized, the use of neural networks, support vector machines, the use of a genetic algorithm, and the combination of hybrid techniques. Studies in each of these categorize have been evaluated.

Finding: Firstly, there is a strong link between machine learning methods and the prediction problems they are associated with. The second conclusion that we can conclude from this review is that past studies need to improve its generalizability results. Most of the studies that have been reviewed in this analysis has only used the machine learning systems through the use of one market or during only a one time period without taking into consideration whether the system would be adaptable in other situations and conditions. Limitations, future trends, as well as policy implications have been defined.
