Authors: Limbago-Bastida Reina Anne Cecilia , Bastida Garry L.
Published: May 2022

This study employed a quasi-experimental method of research to determine the effectiveness of Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) on the learning outcomes of grade 11 senior high school students. 90 students were taken for the study, 45 per group; control and experimental group. This experimental group was exposed to SIM in physical science while the other 45 students were catered to the conventional/traditional method. Data was gathered through the use of questionnaires and analyzed, employing mean and t-test. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the mean gain scores of the experimental and the control group by a t-computed of 2.710 with p-value of 0.008. The utilization of SIM can help to increase the learning outcome of the senior high school students than using conventional/traditional way of teaching. The data collected for this study included students’ responses on the pre-test and post-test in physical science from the researcher-made questionnaire. The research findings formed the basis of recommendations for the development of teaching and learning strategies and approaches which will develop students’ learning outcomes, eventually leading to high academic performance.

Authors: Ankita Sharma  , Yogesh. B. Shinde  , Lekhani S. Sirigoud  , Urmila Shirke  , Jyotsna Yadav
Published: May 2022

In order to achieve the healthy life, it is important to follow the first principal of Ayurveda which is Ahara (diet). The importance of Ahara in life is described by Acharaya charak in classical texts, where every aspect of Ahara including its regular intake, different categories has been elaborated aptly. In Charak samhita, Acharya has classified the Ahara in 12 different categories. Among these, Shookdhanya (cereals) is first one. Shashtika (rice) Vrihi (rice), Yava (barley), Godhum (wheat) are categorized under Shookdhanya (cereals). The food of these groups has similar pharmacological properties with Madhur rasa (sweet in taste), Madhur vipak (sweet after digestion) and Vata kaphahar action. According to modern science Shook dhanya dravya are included in monocotyledon and energy giving food. Energy giving food mainly includes cereal groups like wheat, rice, maize (corn), oats, Jowar, Ragi, and Bajra. Here an attempt has been made to study the fundamental characteristics and health benefits of the class of cereals (Shookadhanya group of Ahara).
Critical Review of Success Story of Hetu Viparita Chikitsa in Prameha- A Case Study
Authors: Vidyasagar  , Malashree
Published: May 2022

Incidence of diabetes is significantly increasing day by day in last two decades. Around 422 million people were said to be diabetic in 2014 according to a data published by WHO. The prime cause for globally increasing rate of diabetes is the changed lifestyle of the people like sedentary lifestyle, fast foods, junk foods, lack of exercise, mental factors like stress etc. All the patients with increased glycemic index may not be established diabetes. It may be simple Ajeerna, Grahani dosha or Amapradoshaja vikara also. Diabetes is compared with the near similar condition in Ayurveda called as Prameha. Incidence of diabetes is increasing day by day globally. Ayurveda being the oldest medicinal system of the mankind, states this unique condition since the time immemorial. It is said to be one of the Santarpanajanya vyadhi. Even though the explanation of Prameha is found in scattered manner in Brihatrayee and Laghutrayee, here we have considered Charaka samhita as a base to the present article. The aim of article is not to prove Prameha as diabetes or vice versa, instead explain a different approach towards treatment of Prameha based on Hetu (cause), Linga (symptoms) and Aushadha (medicine) triad. It is not important to name a disease, but to treat based on the Dosha vitiated and Samprapti involved

Authors: Albalawi Amal H. S. , Kassem Fathia K. , Alasmee Nofaa A.
Published: May 2022

Context: Exposure to violence among health care workers, particularly nurses working in mental health, is prevalent globally. This problem results from different factors in the workplace. The nurse must understand these factors to deal with patients and protect themselves.

Aim: This review aimed to describe the nurses' perception toward factors contributing to violence exposure at a complex for mental health in Tabuk city.

Methods: A scoping review based on the PRISMA guidelines includes qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method research on nurses' exposure to violence. A literature search was carried out using the following databases: MEDLINE, CINAHL, and EBSCO through the Saudi Digital Library databases. The search included studies published between January 2015 and December 2020. All the included studies were assessed for their quality. After the selection process, 26 studies that matched the inclusion criteria emerged and were incorporated into the review.

Results: This scoping review is categorized into six themes. Most of the included studies revealed that violence against nurses is outspread worldwide. The most common types of violence among nurses were physical and verbal violence. The primary source of violence was the patients or their relatives. The causal factors of violence exposure included the nature of the patient's illness, increased expectations by patients and their relatives about the care provided, shortage of drug and staff, insufficient security guards in the health settings, work experience, and skills in dealing with aggressive behavior patients. The consequences of exposure to violence among nurses were job dissatisfaction, anxiety and depression, malpractice, and high nurses' turnover. The ways to reduce exposure to workplace violence, such as training courses, improvement of security measures inside the health care settings, were reported as strategies to overcome this phenomenon.

Conclusion: Violence is situated, an interpersonal, emotional, and cognitive action involving undesirable interaction. Nurses' exposure to violence can be reduced first by perceiving contributing factors. This review highlighted the problem of nurses' exposure to different types of violence and its associated factors and ways to reduce exposure to workplace violence.

Magyar és román vonatkozású anyagok az 1990 utáni titkosítás alól feloldott amerikai kormányzati dokumentumokban
Authors: Barabás T. János
Published: May 2022

Elemzésemben az Amerikai Egyesült Államok kormányzatának titkosítás alól feloldott dokumentumai alapján vizsgálom az 1990 utáni magyar–román kapcsolatokat. A CIA és a State Department táviratoknak elsősorban biztonságpolitikai szempontjai vannak, és az orosz befolyás blokkolását tekintik célnak a régióban. Az országainkról kialakult képbe csak részben nyújtanak betekintést, de annyi kiderül, hogy az megfelel a nyilvánosságban is megjelent információknak. Bár a két ország médiája gyakran ősellenségnek állít be minket, a vizsgált iratok inkább azt mutatják, hogy Románia regionális összefüggésekben viszonyul hozzánk, és egyfajta fóbiaszerű bekerítettségérzés, felnagyított veszélyérzet alapján ítél meg minket. Az egymásról alkotott politikai véleményeket inkább a sajátos történelemszemléletek táplálják, és nem gazdasági-pragmatikus szempontok. Bár a kapcsolataink javulását országaink belső reformjai segítenék, ehhez mentalitásváltás is szükséges.

Authors: Wachiye Herman J. , Nyerere Jackline K.A. , O. Rugar Thaddaeus
Published: May 2022

Subsidization of the public secondary school education by the government of Kenya in 2008 witnessed a tremendous growth in the student population at this level of education. This scenario led to an over enrollment and a strain on the existing learning facilities and infrastructure in most public secondary schools in Kenya, including those in Bungoma County . Under these circumstances, the question that remained unanswered was ; what was the effect of the subsidized secondary education policy (SSEP) on the student pass rates in the Kenya certificate of secondary education (KCSE) in the public secondary schools in Bungoma County ? The purpose of this study was to analyze the change brought about by the SSEP on the student pass rates in the KCSE in public secondary schools in Bungoma County, Kenya. The findings of this study revealed that, the subsidized secondary education policy significantly improved the student pass rates in KCSE in the public secondary schools in the County, from a mean of 70.53% before the introduction of the subsidy, to a mean of 75.82% after introduction of the subsidy, with a p-value of less than 0.05( p<0.05). In conclusion, the SSEP improved the student pass rates in the KCSE. On the basis of the conclusion, it was recommended that the government should uphold the subsidized secondary education policy in public secondary schools, because it has the potential to sustain improved student pass rates in KCSE in public secondary schools in Bungoma County and Kenya at large.

Authors: Sheeraz Ahmad Sheergugri  , Malkeet Raj
Published: May 2022

It is well known fact that a well-defined, visionary and futuristic education policy is a must for every country because education is the key driver of economic and social progress. Taking into account their respective traditions and culture, different countries have adopted varied education systems. Recently Government of India announced its New Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020), which intended to transform our nation sustainably into an equitable and vibrant knowledge society, by providing high quality education to all. It is a welcome step, which will bring about a paradigm shift India's education system and will transform it into a modern, progressive, and equitable one. New circumstances and realities require new initiatives. The recent rise in epidemics and pandemics necessitates that we are ready with alternative modes of quality education whenever and wherever traditional and in-person modes of education are not possible. In this regard, the National Education Policy 2020 recognizes the importance of leveraging the advantages of technology while acknowledging its potential risks and dangers. It calls for carefully designed and appropriately scaled pilot studies to determine how the benefits of online/digital education can be reaped while addressing or mitigating the downsides. In the meantime, the existing digital platforms and ongoing ICT-based educational initiatives must be optimized and expanded to meet the current and future challenges in providing quality education for all.

Published: May 2022

The problem statement for our project is to recognize the automatic emotions from the analysis of body movement. It has tremendous potential to bring in some changes into domains like robotics, biometric identity recognition etc. A computer can identify human emotions from the facial expressions; this may bring about changes in the way we interact with the computer. One of the challenges is to identify emotion specific features from a vast number of descriptors of human body. In this project we used feature selection frame work to accurately recognize basic emotions namely happiness, sadness, anger, depression and neutral. This project consists of two layers, the first layer, a unique combination of Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multivariate Analysis of variance (MANOVA), to eliminate irrelevant features. The proposed model can detect complex actions like sitting, walking and few others. The proposed model achieved recognition accuracy of 90.0% during walking, 96.0% during sitting, demonstrating high accuracy and robustness of the developed method.
A Tradução da Linguagem Vulgar Russa (MAT) na Legendagem do Filme Viva Belarus!
Authors: Costa Paterson Franco
Published: May 2022

A linguagem vulgar russa, popularmente conhecida como mat, difere dos vulgarismos e palavrões da língua portuguesa por sua notável flexibilidade morfossemântica e aplicações discursivas. No filme Viva Belarus!, cuja narrativa se passa em Belarus, uma das quinze ex-repúblicas soviéticas, agentes do regime autoritário de Aliaksandr Lukašenka empregam essa linguagem, com influências do idioma belarusso, como forma de oprimir e humilhar dissidentes. Este artigo, que compõe tese de doutorado em andamento, busca refletir sobre o processo de traduzir e legendar essa linguagem no filme para a língua portuguesa, trazendo exemplos de desafios tradutórios e as soluções propostas. Tendo como ponto de partida o Diário de um Escritor, de Dostoievski, a metodologia consiste no estudo do objeto a partir de fontes acadêmicas, baseando-se nos trabalhos de Kovalev, Akhmetova e Plutser-Sarno. Sobre as reflexões acerca das escolhas e estratégias de tradução, o estudo tem aporte teórico de Gonçalves e Sussex and Cubberley. Espera-se que a discussão contribua para pesquisas adicionais no campo de estudos eslavos, sobretudo por oferecer um olhar sobre as dinâmicas de influência mútua entre dois idiomas eslavos – russo e belarusso – e, mais especificamente, de tradução de língua russa no Brasil.

An assessment of chiropractic adjustment beds as reservoirs for normal flora and infectious bacterial pathogens at a chiropractic teaching clinic
Authors:   , Logtenberg Jana
Published: May 2022

Background: Research has indicated the majority of bacteria on chiropractic adjustment beds (beds), can persist on dry inanimate surfaces for months. Thus, insufficient disinfection procedures create continuous sources of pathogens endangering patients and healthcare workers alike. This research study aimed to assess the beds as reservoirs for micro-organisms, at a chiropractic teaching clinic (clinic) in South Africa. Method: A selection of samples obtained from the headrests and armrests of the beds were serially diluted, plated in duplicate (using the spread plate technique) and incubated for 24-48 hours at 37°C. After inspection for the presence of micro-organisms, those present were enumerated to determine their quantities, the microbial build-up throughout the day, as well as the degree of the transmission from the patients to the beds during treatment. The incidence of the micro-organisms was established, along with their identities, using microscopic and macroscopic characteristics. These micro-organisms were also used to assess the efficacy of the disinfectant currently in use by the clinic. Results: Microbial growth was present on 89.4% of the beds sampled. The quantities of the micro-organisms increased significantly (p=0,027) from 7:30 am to 16:30 pm, with the median increasing from 25 colony forming units (cfu) / cm2 to 714 792 cfu/ cm2. The microbial build-up was highly significant (p<0.001), with a median of 346 cfu/ cm2 at 7:30 am and 10:30 am; increasing to 162 291 cfu/ cm2 by 13:30 pm and 250 million cfu/ cm2 by 16:30 pm. There was also a significant increase (p<0.001) in the quantity of micro-organisms during treatment with a median of 0 cfu/ cm2 before treatment that rose to 23 479 cfu/cm2 after treatment, indicating that the micro-organisms present on the beds were being deposited by the patient`s skin during the treatment. The most prevalent micro-organisms identified were Staphylococci and Serratia, with an average of 59% and 40% of colonies; while Micrococci and Bacilli were relatively uncommon. No growth was evident after 5 minutes of exposure to the disinfectant during the growth inhibition test. For the Kirby Bauer test, the average size of the zone of inhibition increased as the dilution decreased. The disinfectant is effective but more so against the Gram-positive than the Gram-negative bacteria. The disinfectant was 5,0, 5,5 and 5,6 times more effective than phenol in eradicating Staphylococci, Serratia and Bacilli, respectively. Conclusions and Recommendations: This study showed that micro-organisms were present on the beds. Staphylococci and Serratia have been implicated in many healthcare associated infections. The present disinfectant is effective, but should be used in between every patient. A different or additional disinfectant that is more effective against the Gram-negative bacteria should be considered for future use.
The current role of the chiropractor in the patient-centered approach to stress management
Authors:   , Deonarain Jitesh
Published: May 2022

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the current role of the Chiropractor in the Patient-Centred Approach to Stress Management. Methods: Chiropractors were contacted telephonically in order to discuss a convenient time in which they are free to receive the questionnaire at their practice. The questionnaire was developed specifically for this particular research project and verified through the use of a focus group and pilot testing. The researcher waited outside the room whilst the Chiropractor completed the questionnaire. The questionnaire was then collected after completion prior the researcher leaving the practice, in order to improve the return of the questionnaires. Results: Seventy-five percent of chiropractors, in the study indicated that they took a psychosocial history which may indicate that they utilised the fundamental biopsychosocial theme of ‘patient-centeredness’. 68.9% of chiropractors who took a psychosocial history indicated that they are equipped with the necessary skills to evaluate psychosocial stressors in patients and 55.6% indicated that their patients responded ‘Very Positively’ to their stress management protocols. All the Chiropractors in the study indicated that they had consulted patients who had associated their main complaint with stress related issues. 38.3% of Chiropractors felt that their patients ‘Often’ associated their main complaint with stress-related issues whilst 35% felt that their patients ‘Very Often’ relate their main complaint with stress-related issues. Muscle spasm (85%) was the most common symptom or sign found or elicited in a patient suffering with chronic stress. Referral was the most common primary method of treatment with 36% of Chiropractors utilising this method in the clinical setting when dealing with a stressed patient. iii Conclusion: Chiropractors in the study indicated that they took a psychosocial history therefore they utilised the fundamental biopsychosocial theme of ‘patientcenteredness’ and that the majority indicated that they are equipped with the necessary skills to evaluate psychosocial stressors in patients and that patients responded positively to their stress management protocols.
A Consequential Life: David Lowry Swain, Nineteenth-Century North Carolina, and Their University
Authors: Whichard Willis
Published: May 2022

Shortly before David Lowry Swain's thirty-second birthday, the North Carolina General Assembly elected him the state's twenty-sixth governor. He remains its youngest. In the context of his time he was an activist executive, prodding the state to develop its infrastructure, thereby promoting economic development, which in turn would sustain universal public education (although then for white males only). As Swain's constitutionally limited time as governor was expiring, The University of North Carolina trustees elected him its president. He would occupy the position until shortly before his death almost thirty-three years later. Under Swain's leadership the University would grow to be second only to Yale in student enrollment. He was largely responsible for student admissions and conduct, faculty hiring and supervision, and promoting the University to a broader public, both state and national. Notwithstanding the title "president," he remained known as "Governor Swain." The appellation was apt. The larger life of North Carolina, and to no small degree the United States, continued to reflect his fingerprints. As university president he avoided overt partisan activity, yet stayed deeply involved in the political life and public policy of his state and beyond. His leadership in matters of historic preservation was uncommon and exemplary. The Civil War devastated Swain's university. At its end those who would have been its students were in battlefield graves or recovering from war wounds. The able-bodied among them were busy reviving neglected family farms. A tuition-driven university could not sustain the resulting financial losses. Other lingering problems, and concerns for the president's health, surfaced with the fiscal difficulties. Only a regime change, the University trustees concluded, could revive the University's fortunes and secure its future. A little over a month later Swain, the deposed president, would be in his grave. Over half a century ago historian Hugh T. Lefler viewed Swain as a North Carolina leader who perhaps merited full-length biographical treatment. A Consequential Life fills this perceived gap in the state's biographical literature. It not only details the life and work of the man who was arguably the state's most significant nineteenth-century leader; in the process it also recounts the history of the state's university in the three-plus decades when he was the focal point of its life.

Stopped hotels, restaurants, retail stores, disrupted air and rail traffic, empty museums, casinos, and sports fields have become the cause of lots of lost jobs and reduced incomes. The pandemic aggravated the problems of the Georgian labor market. The number of unemployed has increased, the income of the population has decreased, and the standard of living has fallen. The aim of the paper is to analyze the problems of unemployment in Georgia in the context of Covid 19 and post-Covid challenges and to find ways to solve them; The paper is based on a review of leading scientific publications and statistical data, an assessment of the main directions of the state anti-crisis policy. Statistics and real reality show that unemployment problems in developing economies are particularly acute. Unemployment is the most acute socio-economic problem and current challenge in Georgia. It appears to be a major contributing factor to poverty in the country. Clearly, in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, promoting employment in any country's economic activity and solving existing social problems is of paramount importance, both through improving the business environment and taking measures necessary for the efficient functioning of the labor market.

В умовах війни надзвичайно важливо триматися в єдності, підтримувати один одного, та, по можливості, продовжувати навчання. У регіонах, де відносно спокійно, доцільно організовувати освітній процес у закладах вищої освіти в асинхронному дистанційному форматі. Ефективною в таких умовах є дистанційна платформа Moodle, де розміщуються всі навчально-методичні матеріали до дисциплін, які вивчаються на відповідній освітній програмі. Важливо, щоб кожен викладач, за потреби, міг надати консультацію з предмету, куратори академічних груп постійно співпрацювали зі студентами, а психологічна підтримка була цілодобовою.

ЛИНГВИСТИЧЕСКИЙ АНАЛИЗ ОЙКОНИМОВ, ОБРАЗОВАННЫХ ОТ НАЗВАНИЯ ОГУЗСКИХ ПЛЕМЕН В СЕВЕРО-ЗАПАДНОЙ ЧАСТИ НАХЧЫВАНА
Authors: Эминова Айсель
Published: May 2022

В статье говорится о том, что этнический состав Нахчывана сформировался из прототюрских племен. Несомненно, этнотопонимы, содержащие названия тюркских племен, имеют важное значение в изучении нашей национальной культуры, истории и происхождения. Следует отметить, что этнотопонимы формировались в основном на основе названий племен, родоплеменных объединений, тир, племен и династий. Образовавшиеся таким образом ойконимы называются этноойконимами. В статье рассматриваются ойконимы, связанные с названиями огузских племен на территории Шарурского района. Известно, что одним из племен, оставивших свой след в лексическом составе ойконимов Нахчыванской Автономной республики, являются огузские племена. Племена огузов, которые являются нашими предками и родовыми корнями, имеют очень древнюю историю. В статье, в основном, отражается исследование Яйджийского, Халаджского, Гархунского, Огузкендского ойконимов и рассматриваются структурные, лексико–семантические особенности ойконимов, связанные с территорией Шарурского района. При проведении этих исследований не только подтверждается научный результат, но и приводятся различные подходы к объяснению названных этноойконимов.

Authors: Cuznetov Alexandru
Published: May 2022

Since their first appearance, cooperatives have proved to be a viable alternative to promoting the legitimate interests of disadvantaged groups of the population, such as rural ones, refugees, immigrants, the unemployed, the elderly or the disabled, who have discovered in cooperatives the means needed to improve their own material situation. The founders of cooperative society formulated some principles of activity for the administration of the cooperative. Today these principles are known as the famous Rochdale Principles, which have so far been the basis for the development and expansion of the global cooperative movement, becoming, in fact, the prototype of cooperative societies.

Secondary plant metabolites found in the organs of medicinal plants have therapeutic properties due to the presence of complex chemicals of various compositions. That is why, extensive microbiological studies of hibiscus flowers (Hibiscus Sabdariffa L.), clove buds (Syzygium aromaticum L.) and yarrow plants (Achillea millefolium L.) have been conducted and it has been found that the essential oils in these plants (eugenol, acetyl evgenol, cariophyllen etc.), flavonoid derivatives (rutin, quercetin, kaempferol, etc.), as well as various organic acids and vitamin-mineral compounds, have strong antimicrobial properties. Phytoextracts obtained from these plants in optimal proportions and by efficient technological methods have been proven to have a sufficient antibacterial and antifungal effect. It is considered expedient to prepare regenerating and anti-inflammatory ointments and creams on the basis of phytoextracts using various natural polymers that ensure the transport of drugs.

В современных реалиях вопрос альтернативной энергии все больше становится актуальным в связи с развитие экологических проблем, а также с тем, что запас нефти и газа не бесконечны. Ветроэнергетика является одним из самых распространенных и перспективных отраслей. В данной статье мы рассмотрим особенности при разработке и моделировании ветроустановок с горизонтальной осью. Разработка и моделирование каждой горизонтальной ветряной турбины отличается из-за различий в условиях эксплуатации, динамических параметрах и компонентах. Мощность, вырабатываемая ветряными турбинами с горизонтальной осью, сильно зависит от аэродинамических характеристик турбин. Сюда входят силы подъема и сопротивления, создаваемые отдельными лопастями, и взаимодействия между ними во вращающейся конфигурации; а также аэродинамические эффекты конструкции турбины и местности. Чтобы максимизировать эффективность ветряных турбин, обычно требуется экспериментальный и расчетный анализ лопасти и системы. В связи с чем, целью данного исследования является анализ ветроустановок с горизонтальной осью вращения с изменяющейся геометрией лопастей. Статья основана на обзорном анализ и носит описательный характер.

O câncer de pele é considerado uma neoplasia prevenível, devido à grande influência de fatores de risco modificáveis, em especial a exposição aos raios ultravioleta. Este trabalho tem como objetivo descrever a experiência de estudantes de medicina no desenvolvimento de ações do “Dezembro Laranja” - campanha nacional de prevenção e conscientização do câncer de pele da Sociedade Brasileira de Dermatologia. Os estudantes do curso de Medicina da Universidade do Vale do São Francisco na cidade Petrolina, Pernambuco, juntamente com professores de dermatologia e dermatologistas voluntários da Sociedade Brasileira de Dermatologia, realizaram atendimentos de rastreio para o combate ao câncer de pele, associando medidas de educação em fotoproteção, diagnóstico de manchas suspeitas, cauterização química e encaminhamento para exérese cirúrgica e biópsia. Foi realizada coleta de dados dos pacientes e seus respectivos fatores de risco, orientado pela planilha da Sociedade Brasileira de Dermatologia, visando o planejamento futuro de ações mais direcionadas e eficazes. Ao fim da ação foram atendidas 168 pessoas. A faixa etária mais atendida foi de pessoas acima de 40 anos (81%). Foram identificadas lesões sugestivas (ou diagnosticadas) de carcinoma basocelular (10,71%), carcinoma espinocelular (4,16%), melanoma (1,19%), outros tipos de tumores malignos (1,78%), pré-neoplasias (22,61%), outras dermatoses (65,47%) e pacientes com ausência de dermatoses (5,35%). Em 8,33% dos pacientes de queratoses actínicas, foram realizadas cauterizações químicas com ácido tricloroacético. Assim, ações de extensão como esta são de suma importância para estreitar vínculos entre o conhecimento acadêmico e as comunidades, permitindo uma troca de saberes e um retorno à população local.
