Archiwum filomatów jako obiekt badań lingwistycznych. Stan i perspektywy w kontekście edycji cyfrowej
Authors: Klimek-Grądzka Jolanta
Published: February 2024

W artykule przypomniane zostały geneza i zasady działania wileńskiego Towarzystwa Filomatycznego, a następnie omówiony został stan badań lingwistycznych nad rękopiśmienną i drukowaną spuścizną filomatów jako grupy, a także jednostek ją tworzących. Przegląd literatury dowodzi, że mimo zgłaszanych przez lata postulatów objęcia refleksją języka filomatów, opracowania dotyczą tylko pojedynczych aspektów języka i stylu (najczęściej korespondencji), a jedynymi studiami o systemie językowym pozostają prace Z. Kurzowej. Szansę na rozbudzenie zainteresowania lingwistów źródłami filomackimi i objęcie pogłębionymi analizami idiolektów i idiostylów filomatów i ich socjolektu, a także m.in. narracji i gatunków przez nich kształtowanych otwiera powstająca edycja cyfrowa archiwum filomatów, której zawartość, przeznaczenie i sposób działania zostały opisane w drugiej części artykułu.The article traces the origins and the principles of the Vilnius Philomath Society, and discusses the status of linguistic investigations into the manuscripts and printed legacy of the Philomaths, understood both as a group and as individual members. Literature overview shows that despite numerous suggestions made over the years to launch research on the language of the Philomaths, the only studies available focus on isolated aspects of their language and style (mostly correspondence), and the only systematic explorations of the linguistic system of Philomaths’ texts are the studies by Z. Kurzowa. The digital edition of the archives that is currently under construction is likely to provide impetus for research interest in the linguistic legacy of the Philomaths and might bring forth analyses of their idiolects and idiostyles. The second part of the paper discusses the content, objectives and mode of operation of this new digital resource.
Przymiotnik relacyjny w świetle wyników analiz korpusowych – ujęcie z punktu widzenia gramatyki konstrukcji
Authors: Szymańska Monika
Published: February 2024

W artykule przymiotnik relacyjny jest ujmowany jako konstrukcja. Przedmiotem analizy jest produktywność i siła jego schematu konstrukcyjnego. Przedstawiono wyniki analizy korpusowej testującej hipotezę dotyczącą występowania we współczesnej polszczyźnie określonych tendencji w zakresie frekwencji tekstowej przymiotników relacyjnych. Badanie dowiodło, że o przymiotniku relacyjnym nie można powiedzieć, że z czasem wypiera inne, ekwiwalentne konstrukcje o podobnym znaczeniu. Wykazano natomiast, że siła jego schematu konstrukcyjnego jest w znacznym stopniu powiązana z typem znaczenia kontekstowego – osiąga wysoki poziom, na przykład w przypadku znaczenia materiałowego czy genetycznego. Jako przyczynę tej korelacji wskazano charakterystyczny dla przymiotnika relacyjnego sposób obrazowania. Okazuje się on szczególnie przystający do określonych typów znaczeń kontekstowych, podczas gdy w odmiennych kontekstach przymiotnik relacyjny przegrywa rywalizację z innymi konstrukcjami.This article discusses relational adjective as a construction. The analysis focuses on the productivity and strength of its constructional scheme. The aim is to present the results of a corpus analysis that tests the hypothesis of specific tendencies in the textual frequency of relational adjectives in contemporary Polish. The study disproves the claim that relational adjectives displace other equivalent constructions with similar meaning over time. It also demonstrates that the strength of the constructional scheme of the adjective strongly correlates with a type of contextual meaning and reaches high levels, for instance in the case of material and genetic meaning. A specific way of construal, characteristic of relational adjective, has been indicated as the reason for this correlation. It turns out to be particularly consistent with specific types of contextual meanings, while in other contexts relational adjective loses to other constructions.
Humor średniowieczny w świetle Ogólnej Teorii Humoru Słownego (GTVH) na przykładzie Księgi Dobrej Miłości (1330-1343)
Authors: Stala Ewa
Published: February 2024

Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu analizę średniowiecznego utworu hiszpańskiego pod kątem zawartych w nim aspektów humorystycznych, a zarazem stanowi próbę zastosowania narzędzi stricte językoznawczych w badaniu materiału literackiego. Korpus badawczy stanowi Księga Dobrej Miłości Juana Ruiza (hiszp. Libro de Buen Amor), a zastosowana metodologia to tzw. Ogólna Teoria Humoru Słownego (ang. General Theory of Verbal Humor) (Attardo, Raskin 1991, Attardo 1994) będąca rozwinięciem teorii skryptów V. Raskina (1985). O ile istnieją prace poświęcone ironicznemu charakterowi dzieła (cf. Menéndez Pelayo 1944, Menéndez Pidal 1958, Ayerbe Chaux 1968, López Castro 2009 czy Imperiale 2016), brak studiów poświęconych zjawisku humoru w tym jednoznacznie humorystycznym utworze. Niniejsze badanie dowodzi, że współczesna językoznawcza teoria humoru może mieć zastosowanie w przypadku tego sztandarowego dzieła epoki Średniowiecza sensu stricto, zaś sensu largo, że narzędzie językoznawcze jako narzędzie filologiczne może być pomocne w analizie tekstu literackiego. Jednocześnie mamy nadzieję, że przeprowadzona analiza według schematu Attardo pozwoli lepiej zrozumieć fenomen humoru w tym sztandarowym utworze literatury hiszpańskiej i da asumpt do kolejnych badań humoru epoki Średniowiecza.The aim of the paper is to analyse the humorous aspects of a medieval Spanish text while applying strictly linguistic tools in the study of a literary material. The source of research data is Juan Ruiz’s Libro de buen amor (Book of Good Love), and the methodology used is the so-called General Theory of Verbal Humor (Attardo, Raskin 1991; Attardo 1994), an extension of V. Raskin’s script theory (1985). While a number of studies have dealt with the ironic nature of Libro… (e.g. Menéndez Pelayo 1944; Menéndez Pidal 1958; Ayerbe Chaux 1968; López Castro 2009; Imperiale 2016), there has been no academic output devoted to the phenomenon of humour in this unequivocally humorous work. The paper shows that a current linguistic theory of humor can be applied sensu stricto to the analysis of this flagship medieval work, and that linguistic tools seen as philological tools can be helpful in the analysis of a medieval text sensu largo. At the same time, we hope that the analysis that follows Attardo’s scheme will allow us to understand in a better way the phenomenon of humor in this masterpiece of Spanish literature and will inspire further research on medieval humor.

Excretory/secretory (E/S) antigen from Haemonchus contortus was isolated by culturing live adult worms in RPMI 1640 medium at 37° C for 24 h and the culture supernatant was used as antigen. Immuno blot analysis revealed that the E/S antigen showed 5 reactive bands at 24, 29, 46, 66 and 93 kDa. On immunization trial, sheep were immunized with 500 mg of E/S antigen along with montanide as adjuvant on day 0, 30 and 60 intramuscularly. Further, the assessment of serum antibody levels in immunized sheep was made by enzyme linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA). Based on absorbance values, it was observed that the serum antibody levels were significantly higher up to 20 weeks post immunization in immunized sheep compared to control sheep.

Pregnant and lactating bovine animals that survived diaphragmatic herniorrhaphy done under general anesthesia were observed for postoperative complications, fetal survival and recurrence of diaphragmatic hernia during subsequent calving, milk production level in the same and subsequent lactation. Bovines (22 buffaloes and 2 crossbred cows) were divided into group 1 (13 pregnant) and group 2 (11 lactating). All the animals were followed postoperatively for a mean duration of 15.1±2.56 months (till subsequent calving and lactation). In group 1 animals (8 buffaloes and 1 cow), 69.2% calved at full term with healthy calves and produced 94.4% of normal milk yield in subsequent lactation. Four buffaloes had complications like abortion (2), ventral hernia (1) and death (1). Postoperative complications of abortion and death in group 1 animals were not found related to surgery. In group 2, recently parturated animals (8 buffaloes, 1 cow) resumed mean peak milk yield to 37.5% level of the normal in the same lactation. All animals of group 2 came in estrous and conceived. Seven buffaloes and 1cow calved subsequently and produced mean milk yield of 91.25% that of normal. Three buffaloes developed recurrence of diaphragmatic hernia (2) and ventral incisional hernia (1) in group 2. Majority of the surgical wound related problems (hard swelling, abscessation at postxiphoid or flank skin incision) were managed successfully. Our study revealed that after diaphragmatic herniorrhaphy majority of the surviving pregnant and lactating cows and buffaloes were able to achieve their production and reproduction performance without significant surgery-related complications. Pregnant bovine operated for diaphragmatic hernia are not predisposed to recurrence of diaphragmatic hernia during subsequent calving.

Published: February 2024

Primordial follicle pool size in the ovary is small and rate of follicular atresia is high in water buffaloes. The objective of this experiment was to study the expression of Fas antigen in granulosa cells of water buffalo ovarian follicle, and to know the role of insulin like growth factor-1(IGF-I) on Fas-ligand (Fas-L) mediated apoptosis. The Fas expression was observed mainly in the granulosa cells of the follicles. The expression was higher in the granulosa cells, which were denuded from basement membrane, indicating apoptosis. Healthy follicles which had intact multilaminar granulosa cell layer showed negative reaction for Fas antigen. The granulosa cells from 3–6 mm diameter follicles of the buffalo ovaries collected from the slaughterhouse ovaries were cultured in vitro to assess the effect of Fas-L at 10, 20 and 50ng/ ml on granulosa cell viability. The Fas-L even at the lowest dose tested (10ng/ml) significantly decreased granulosa cells viability as compared to control; whereas addition of IGF-I to the culture significantly improved granulosa cell viability. Addition of IGF-I could significantly improve the granulosa cells viability in the Fas-L treated culture. Overall this study demonstrated the existence of Fas and Fas mediated apoptosis in the granulosa cells of the buffalo follicle, and also suggested that IGF-I could rescue granulosa cells from Fas-L mediated apoptosis.

Published: February 2024

The objective of this study was to investigate the possible introgression of highland yak (Bos grunniens) into Tibetan Yellow cattle (Bos taurus) based on milk protein and mtDNA D-loop analysis. Tibetan Yellow cattle (43) were used to assay polymorphisms of β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg) and to extract genomic DNA for the PCR amplification of mtDNA D- loop. Native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) of milk β-Lg showed that 3 milk samples exhibited the yak- specific β-Lg E variant among the 43 milk samples tested. mtDNA D-loop sequences were successfully amplified by PCR using genomic DNA extracted from milk. A total of 16 sequences of the mtDNA D-loop were obtained for analysis, which contained 133 variable sites (97 parsimony-informative sites and 36 single sites) and defined 15 different haplotypes. The 3 Tibetan Yellow cattle carrying β-Lg E variant were exactly clustered with yak when mtDNA D-loop sequences were employed for cluster analysis, while other yaks assayed (13) clustered with cattle. This research demonstrated that there existed matrilineal introgression of yak during the evolution or natural breeding of Tibetan Yellow cattle population on Qinghai-Tibet plateau.

Published: February 2024

Conventional [solvent extracted GNC and mechanically extracted mustard cake (MC)], and non-conventional protein supplements [machanically extracted castor oilseed cake (COSC), un-decorticated solvent extracted neem seed cake (NSC) and corn gluten meal (CGM)] before and after rumen incubations for different intervals were subjected to sequential fractionation into globulin, albumin, prolamin and glutelins on the basis of solubility. The polypeptides in globulin, prolamin and glutelin fraction of groundnut cake with molecular weight 35, 15, 16 and 19 KDA, respectively, were highly resistant to microbial degradation even after 24h or rumen incubation. The degradation pattern of mustard cake revealed that subunits of globulin, prolamin and glutelins with MW of 14–33, 14 and 31 KDA, respectively, were highly resistant to microbial degradation. In NSC subunits with MW 124 (in globulin), 30 (in albumin), 66 (in prolamin) and 54 kDa (in glutelin) were resistant to microbial degradation. The subunits in prolamin fraction of CGM with MW 18, 24 and 43 kDa and that in glutelin fraction with MW of 22 and 60 kDa were found to be highly resistant to microbial degradation. The results conclusively revealed that in majority of the cases, the low molecular weight polypeptides in the tested protein supplements showed resistance to rumen microbial fermentation, even after 48h of rumen incubation.

Published: February 2024

The study was conducted to assess the effects of creatine pyruvate (Cr-Pyr) on lipid and protein metabolism in male rats. Healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (40) were randomly assigned to control group (CG) and 3 experiment groups (EG) administrated with 750 (EG1), 1500 (EG2), or 3000 (EG3) mg/kg Cr-Pyr daily for 42 d. The fat mass in male rats of EGs was lower and relative muscle weight was significantly higher in EG2 and EG3 than CG. The content of serum HDL-C and hepatic TC was significantly lower in EG2, and male rats of EG3 had significantly lower hepatic TG as compared to those in CG. Supplementation of male rats with 3000 mg/kg Cr-Pyr significantly decreased the serum leptin concentration but increased insulin. Serum IGF-1 was thought statistically not significantly difference but its level elevated in EGs compared to CG. The expressions of HSL in fat and peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor a mRNA in liver were enhanced in EG2 and EG3 than CG. Supplementation of Cr-Pyr resulted in a significant increase in muscle protein content in EGs. Hepatic GPT was increased in EGs, but no effect on hepatic GOT activity. Supplementation of Cr-Pyr resulted in significant increase in muscle myogenin mRNA expression, while muscle mRNA abundance of myostatin (MSTN) was unaffected. The results described herein demonstrated that supplementation of Cr-Pyr was accompanied by significant elevated levels of lipolysis and increased muscle protein synthesis through the regulation of various metabolic parameters in male rats.
WSN-IoT Forecast: Wireless Sensor Network Throughput Prediction Framework in Multimedia Internet of Things
Authors: Eliviani Rosa , Bandung Yoanes
Published: February 2024

Accurate throughput predictions can significantly improve the quality of experience (QoE), where QoE denotes a network’s capacity to provide satisfactory service. By increasing the results of good throughput predictions, the best strategy can be planned for managing data transmission networks with the aim of better and faster data transmission, thereby increasing QoE. Consequently, this paper investigates how to predict the throughput of wireless sensor networks utilizing multimedia data. First, we conducted a comparative analysis of relevant prior research on the topic of throughput prediction in Multimedia Internet of Things (Multimedia IoT). We developed a throughput prediction framework for wireless sensor networks based on what we learned from these studies using machine learning. The Throughput Prediction Framework identifies historical throughput data and employs these traits to predict throughput. In the final phase, multiple camera nodes and local servers are utilized to test a framework for throughput prediction. Our analysis demonstrates that WSN-IoT predictions are quite precise. For a 1-second time breakdown, the average absolute percentage error for all investigated scenarios ranges from 1 to 8 percent.
A Decoupling Technique for Beamforming Antenna Arrays Using Simple Guard Trace Structures
Authors: Zulfi Zulfi , Suryana Joko , Munir Achmad
Published: February 2024

This paper discusses decoupling techniques for suppressing electromagnetic coupling between elements of beamforming antenna arrays. Guard trace structures, which are commonly used for crosstalk reduction on printed circuit board technology, are proposed to be inserted between the array elements for coupling reduction. Two types of guard trace structures, i.e., straight guard traces and serpentine guard traces, were explored, and the effect of using via holes on both types of guard traces was studied. For this purpose, two-element antenna arrays with guard trace structures inserted between array elements were designed and simulated. The simulation results showed that a straight guard trace with vias (straight GTV) and a serpentine guard trace without vias (serpentine GT) could effectively reduce EM coupling between elements of array antennas. To verify the simulation results, prototypes of antenna arrays with straight GTV and serpentine GT were realized and measured. The measurement results showed coupling reductions of 5 dB and 6.4 dB could be achieved when straight GTV and serpentine GT are inserted between two array elements separated by edge-to-edge distances of 4 mm and 9.05 mm, respectively. Therefore, the proposed decoupling technique is suitable for beamforming antenna arrays with a very close distance between array elements.

Published: February 2024

The brain is the most complex organ in the human being. It is responsible for our thinking, attention, memory and learning. A series of higher functions and neuronal circuits enable learning to take place. A person with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has a series of problems in managing their behavior, such as difficulties in maintaining their attention, controlling and inhibiting impulses and excessive activity, impairing their learning. In most cases, it is in the school environment that the symptoms of this disorder are most clearly seen. A combination of educational strategies, emotional support and adaptive interventions can be essential to optimize the learning process and promote academic and personal success.

Authors: Miranda David Bruce , Bacovis Márcia Maria Costa , Monteiro Adriana Maria de Castro , Machado Ana Lúcia Soares
Published: February 2024

As a way of changing the economic paradigm of a society rooted in an economy that excessively exploits natural resources and encourages consumption and production without considering the environmental problems posed by the linear model of production, Environmental Education (EE) has emerged, laying the necessary foundations for the transition from the Linear economic model (take-make-dispose) to a Circular economic model, which is based on the principle of closing the life cycle of products in order to minimize resource consumption, waste generation and environmental degradation. EE is recognized as an effective instrument for curbing the advance of the Linear Economy. The research question that arises is: How can Environmental Education practices be used as a tool in the implementation of the Circular Economy? This work aims to investigate the role of environmental education as an effective tool in the implementation of the circular economy, analyzing theoretical foundations, identifying strategies and discussing the impacts of these actions and highlighting the importance of environmental education in the process of migration to a Circular Economy. To answer this question, fifteen publications were analyzed, including scientific articles and books, and nine tools/actions applied to different audiences were identified with a focus on disseminating knowledge about the Circular Economy and its implementation. The conclusion of this work is that environmental education initiatives combined with the concepts of Circular Economy have an influence on environmental awareness, generating a more accurate view of the benefits of sustainable production for humanity and the planet.

Published: February 2024

Introduction: The improvement of the training of professionals constitutes a current challenge for Medical Education, which is why it is necessary to resize the management process of the methodological work that is developed in it, in this research, the trends of the methodological work management process in the Medicine career at the University of Medical Sciences of Pinar del Río were determined.
Methods: Observational, descriptive and cross-sectional research with an intentional sample of 58 directors and teachers of the Medicine career during the 2023 academic year. Empirical, theoretical and statistical methods were used. 
Results: 56 % of managers and teachers have insufficient knowledge of the management of methodological work and the regulations that regulate it. Only 60 % of the heads of departments and methodological groups conceive the methodological work plan taking as a starting point a balance of the strengths and weaknesses of the previous period. The management of the methodological work at the level of the departments and methodological groups, is affected by limiting itself to complying with the guidelines of higher levels, as reported by 90 % of the teachers. The methodological activities that are carried out do not always have conceptual elements of pedagogy, particularly didactic, as their starting point. 
Conclusions: The management process of the methodological work that is developed in the Medicine career of the University of Medical Sciences of Pinar del Río presents inadequacies that can be solved and thereby contribute to the quality of the professional training process.

Published: February 2024

Introduction: the teaching – learning process of the discipline Pharmacology is studied.
Methods: a prospective, observational and descriptive was carried out. From the theoretical point of view, the historical – logical, analysis – synthesis, and inductive – deductive methods were used, which allowed the analysis of conceptions on the topic from different approaches and contexts. On an empirical level, the analysis of documents was used to collect information.
Results: the teaching – learning process of the discipline Pharmacology shows insufficiencies in its systemic structure according to its didactic components, and their gradual derivation from the medical students’ mode of professional performance. The teaching – learning process of the discipline Pharmacology lacks a didactic relation with the General Practitioners’ mode of professional performance in solving professional and academic problems by means of the use of the knowledge and skills obtained within the discipline.  It is not integrated with other disciplines and subjects within the same academic year in a coherent and systemic manner. The methodological work is insufficient, in favor of a more rational medication prescription, based on the mode of professional performance in a systemic and interdisciplinary manner.
Conclusions: the teaching –learning process of the discipline Pharmacology in Medical studies provides new dimensions for its didactic categories, mediated by the professor and self – regulated by the student and the class, which comes to be in the solution to the professionalizing task, starting from communication, and according to the principles of the medical ethics and the mode of professional performance.

Learning to think in light of neuroscience and my teaching competence
Authors: Rodríguez Otero Victoriano , Fonseca Catalina
Published: February 2024

Neuroscience constitutes a new epistemological paradigm that makes it possible to analyze and explain intelligent human behavior. Modern neuroscientific theories seem to demonstrate that it is in the brain where the acting body is ordered. It controls the body, orders its results, stores information, influences emotionally, experiences and constructs itself with the exterior. All these functions have as reference the motor system and the control of the movement. Neuroscience knowledge must be considered in education. The activity carried out through the body is key in the neuronal configuration. Through the experiences that make up the experience, the brain is configured. After analyzing the competencies that teachers must have, we propose a work plan for their training, which has been tested for years. Throughout our experience, both with school-age students and in teacher training, we have been able to verify how small, sometimes accidental, experienced situations have taken on an important relevance, even generating substantial changes in the person. You learn what you live. The experience we present here has been carried out in the format of numerous courses for teacher training. We intend to develop teaching competences in such a way that, when the teacher is practicing his educational action, he has a relationship with his own way of thinking, with what he wants and with his own style of interacting.

Published: February 2024

Colombia is considered a country of great biological diversity, in which its wide variety of flora stands out. The department of La Guajira is located in the northernmost part of the country and has recently been highlighted by the presence of numerous initiatives aimed at characterizing its biodiversity, since much of the existing information on its vegetation cover is incipient. This means that any research on its biological richness has an impact on national biodiversity records. Amaranthaceae is a plant family with a pantropical distribution and numerous species records in the neotropics, including arid environments, disturbed and high salinity areas, among others. This study is the first report on the ecology and distribution of the family Amaranthaceae in the department of La Guajira through a review of the collection belonging to the Herbarium of La Guajira (HG) "Wunü'Ülia. A review of the specimens belonging to the family in the collection was carried out, determining eight genera and nine species.
Sports and language integration skill development

Published: February 2024

Learning to play and learning to communicate in a language are different skills to be acquired through various stages in a cycle. However, the stages in learning to communicate and the stages in the process of becoming skillful in a particular game are similar. This paper studies the nature of the stages of learning and suggests the possibility of doing both at the same time. Physical activities advance students' capability and confidence to take part in a variety of guided or unguided undertakings that become essential to their life, both within and outside of school. Apart from developing sporting skills, physical activities also demand and develop various other associated skills. Indulging in sports and games stands as one the most important avenues for developing these skills. This study aims at establishing the possibility of making optimum use of sports for enhancing and monitoring both sporting and communication skills. The study is based on the hypotheses that communication skills can be developed, monitored and assessed with the help of physical activities and vice versa and that inter disciplinary learning can be achieved in classrooms through physical activities; and that the physical and communicative skills of students can be successfully monitored and assessed through a systematic and integrated curriculum plan and implementation approach. The study methodology is based on observation and case study with focus groups involving school students. The significance and uniqueness of the study lies in the fact that it discloses the prospect of fostering communication and associated skills in children through sports; and also of bringing teachers of different subjects together to offer integrated instructions through physical activities and movements. Additionally, this research will contribute to the teaching and learning process pinned on physical activities to minimize boredom and maximize learning among children of all ages.
A STUDY OF WESTERN SCHOLARSHIP ON THE COMPATIBILITY AND INCOMPATIBILITY OF ISLAM AND MODERNIZATION
Authors:   Malaysia, Ali Muhammad Mumtaz
Published: February 2024

Contemporary scholars seem to be in a fix: Publish or Perish. This phrase seems to be more relevant in the Western scholarship on the compatibility and incompatibility of Islam with modernization and development. Western scholars have manifested an overwhelming interest on this issue while specifically focusing the contemporary Islamic resurgence. In this paper, an attempt has been made to present and analyze the views of a few Western scholars on Islam and modernization as well as development. Along with this, a few relevant observations and reflections of a few Muslim scholars on modernization and development are also presented wherever necessary. It is argued that contemporary Islamic resurgence is not anti-modernization and development but its concepts of modernization and development are diametrically opposite to the Western concepts. It is also asserted that secularization which forms an indispensable part of Western model of development and modernization has shattered the moral and spiritual dimensions of the societies wherever it has penetrated. Hence it is pointed out that 'religion' has emerged as a vital force in many societies across the world. It is therefore suggested that the West should not perceive the contemporary Islamic resurgence as a threat! It should rather appreciate and respect other cultures so that the West and the rest should live in peaceful co-existence through mutual respect and understanding.

The four horsemen of the Apocalypse - Death, Famine, Plague, and War - have traced a bloody cause of sorrow, destruction, and devastation through human history. Technology has now made it frequently possible to overcome two of the dreaded horsemen, Plague and Famine. Encounters with the third horseman, Death, have been postponed by that same technology; in many parts of the world, for example, average life expectancy has substantially risen.
A POLITICAL HISTORY OF ISLAMIC RESURGENCE IN EGYPT
Authors:   International Islamic University Malaysia, Malaysia, Ushama Thameem
Published: February 2024

Due to intellectual, literary, and religious leadership throughout the ages and more particularly in the modern age, Egypt is regarded as the vital centre of the Arab and Islamic world. Its political events, social changes and other developments in the religious dimension have a great and direct impact on the Muslim World in general and the Arab world in particular. Thus the observers of Egyptian history and specifically, the Western scholars, keenly watch the day-to-day socio-political developments in Egypt for their own interest. This article analyses various causes and effects which were directly responsible for the emergence of a new vision, direction and revivalist trend in Egypt in the middle of the twentieth century. This revolutionary trend in fact generated profound religious consciousness and created unity among the masses and led to the fight for independence of Egypt and abolition of the monarchy in the early 1950s.
Realistic Mathematic Education (RME) Approach Assisted By Time Board Displays on The Mathematical Cognitive Abilities of Elementary School Students.
Authors: Hayun Muhammad , Hutami Yopana
Published: February 2024

This research is motivated by the low ability of elementary school students in mathematics subjects, especially mathematical cognitive abilities, so an approach is needed to provide the right solution to this problem. The aim of this research is to find out how much influence the Realistic Mathematic Education (RME) approach assisted by time board teaching aids has on students' mathematical cognitive abilities. The research method used is an experimental method with a quasi experimental approach, with a pretest-posttest control group design, with comparative test analysis techniques for the experimental class and the control class. The results of this research showed that the average pretest score for mathematical cognitive abilities in the experimental class was 67.68 and the average posttest score was 90.77 and the N-Gain score was 68.34% with the effectiveness category being quite effective, while in the control class the average pretest score was 64.74 and posttest. 71.48 and an N-Gain score of 16.36% in the effectiveness category, namely not effective. Meanwhile, the results of the comparative test stated that the value of t = 11.62 with Sig. (one-sided p and two-sided p) 0.00 < 0.05 then H0 is rejected, which means that there is an influence between the Realistic Mathematic Education (RME) approach assisted by time board teaching aids on the mathematical cognitive abilities of class III students at SDN Cinere 1. By implementing the RME approach it is hoped that Students are more active and confident in expressing their opinions during discussions, exchanging ideas to understand and solve problems, so that mathematical cognitive abilities increase.
EFECTO Y COMPARACIÓN DE DOS RECUBRIMIENTOS COMESTIBLES EN LA CALIDAD DE LA PAPAYA (CARICA PAPAYA)
Authors: Santillán Suarez Edgar A.
Published: February 2024

En la presente investigación se pudo comparar bibliográficamente el efecto de la aplicación de recubrimientos, a base de almidón de yuca y otro comercial, en la prolongación de la vida útil de la papaya (Carica papaya) variedad Tainung. El recubrimiento de almidón de yuca fue elaborado a una concentración de 4 % p/v, por otro lado, la cera comercial se preparó diluyendo una parte de cera con una parte de agua a temperatura ambiente. Las papayas fueron almacenadas a una temperatura que oscila entre los 22°C a 24°C con una humedad relativa del 85 %, por un lapso de tiempo de 9 días. Los materiales y métodos se los realizo mediante una preparación de las muestras, una preparación de los recubrimientos, una aplicación de los recubrimientos, un almacenamiento, un análisis de las muestras y un diseño experimental con análisis estadísticos fundamentados con un arreglo factorial 3*4 con 5 repeticiones, un análisis de varianza con el software estadístico SAS versión 9.1.3 y una prueba de comparación múltiple con la ayuda del método Tukey. Los resultados obtenidos del efecto del encerado en las papayas, mostraron una diferencia significativa (P<0.05) sobre las variables: pH y firmeza, asimismo, la interacción entre los factores encerado y tiempo fue altamente significativo con respecto a las variables: pH, °Brix y firmeza. Además, en el efecto del tiempo sobre todo en las variables observadas (pH, °Brix, acidez, pérdida de masa y firmeza) existió diferencia estadísticamente significativa (P<0.05). Por lo mencionado anteriormente se puede acotar que 77la finalidad de este trabajo es realizar una revisión bibliográfica sobre el desarrollo de recubrimientos a base de almidón para evaluar las características fisicoquímicas como la acidez titulable, los sólidos solubles, el pH, y la pérdida de masa en papayas variedad Tainung.
