The Added Value of Spirituality in Reconnecting to the Self, Others, and Nature in Higher Education
Authors: Rechberger Mona
Published: October 2024

Reforming education and especially higher education for sustainable development (ESD) has been of interest and called for by several scholars and educational practitioners in recent years. Sustainability efforts can not solely be achieved through teaching cognitive competencies; it requires a whole-systems approach to sustainability through holistic forms of education. Infusing ESD with spiritual teachings can address a gap of educating inner realms that are often disregarded in sustainability work. Subsequently, they play a vital role in value-based behaviour representing regeneration and thrivability on multiple levels. Several implied benefits were established within this qualitative, explorative research. Spiritual engagements allow people to tap into an enhanced consciousness that can include awareness and reflective practices, engagement with philosophical traditions, as well as eco-connective and somatic practices. However, the successful integration of spirituality into education requires shifts in individual and organisational attitudes towards new and alternative educational methods and a reassessment of prevalent educational and socio-cultural systems including interpersonal qualities of educators and other individuals involved. The marginalisation of non-Western and non-scientific approaches within higher education pose one of the main challenges to this. Informing Western ESD with alternative narratives, including spiritually informed teachings, was identified to be of a particular value, especially when spiritual explorations are designed as an optional, adaptive, and contextual component within educational frameworks. Hence spirituality can be a successful tool within transformative sustainability learning (TSL) by influencing inner realms and their subsequent manifestation in value-based behaviour.
“El Niño” and “La Niña”: Revisiting the impact on food commodity prices and euro area consumer prices
Authors: Borrallo Fructuoso , Cuadro-Sáez Lucía , Ghirelli Corinna , Pérez Javier J.
Published: October 2024

This paper challenges the prevailing assumption that the intensification of the weather phenomena known as El Niño and La Niña generally exert upward and downward pressures, respectively, on international food commodity prices that, in turn, affect consumer prices even in distant jurisdictions such as Europe. As regards the first point, we show that there are nuances that have to do with composition effects (the type of commodity) and sample periods (more recent decades present a different frequency of weather events, with producers having adopted mitigation strategies over time), in such a way that the impact is weaker nowadays and, in some cases, may even change sign (for some commodities, depending on the period of reference). With regard to the second point, and focusing on consumer price inflation in the euro area and its four largest constituent countries (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), we show that it is crucial to account for the mitigating and sample-period-specific role of domestic agricultural policies (in the euro area, the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy, CAP). To carry out our analysis, we construct a detailed database for the 1970–2023 period and use a local projections empirical framework. Among other results, we show that when using a sample period that starts at the time of the creation of the euro area (in the late 1990s), an intensification of El Niño actually decreases euro area headline inflation by about 0.3 percentage points (pp) after 12 months, while La Niña increases it by 0.6 pp over the same horizon. We explain our results on the basis of the aforementioned factors: composition effects, sample periods, and the CAP.

Authors: Aktaş Arzu , Yılmaz İhsan
Published: October 2024

Dark energy is one of the prominent mysteries of the universe that still awaits a solution. One of the plausible ways to collect data about any formation or understand its information capacity is to investigate the entropy of that formation. In this study, Renyi Holographic Dark Energy (RHDE) matter distribution is analyzed within the framework of General Relativity Theory, considering homogeneous and isotropic Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) space-time. Hubble parameter and RHDE density were used to obtain exact solutions of Einstein field equations. The analysis of the obtained solutions was performed by drawing evolution graphs for redshift $z$.

Published: October 2024

Background: Disorders of red and white blood cells, such as anemia and leukemia, can reflect both hematological and non-hematological conditions. Anemia, a common clinical challenge, necessitates thorough evaluation when accompanied by symptoms like splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, or bleeding tendencies. Aim: This article aims to explore the diagnostic approach to blood disorders, emphasizing the significance of initial screening tests and their interpretations. Methods: A comprehensive review of laboratory tests, including hemoglobin concentration, white blood cell count, and peripheral blood smear examination, is conducted. The article discusses the interpretation of results, considering factors such as age, sex, and ethnic background. Results: The findings illustrate that abnormalities in blood cell counts can indicate various underlying conditions. Increased cell counts may suggest myeloproliferative neoplasms, while decreased counts may arise from factors such as hypersplenism, infections, or myelosuppressive agents. The article further categorizes anemia into microcytic, macrocytic, and normocytic types, with flowcharts outlining the investigation sequence for each type. Conclusion: Understanding the complexities of blood disorders requires a systematic approach to diagnosis. Utilizing basic screening tests effectively can guide further investigations, ultimately aiding in the identification and management of underlying hematological conditions.
Analyzing Facebook's Use of Natural Equivalents to Preserve Cultural Integrity and Reduce Meaning Shifts in Expressions
Authors:   University of Nairobi, Barongo Okemwa Carolyne
Published: October 2024

This study sought to examine the extent to which Facebook has used natural equivalents to avoid meaning shifts of culture-specific expressions. The main challenge in development and implementation natural language processing technologies by Facebook has been the preservation of cultural integrity and reduction of meaning shifts when translating or interpreting expressions across different languages and cultures. The target population comprised Facebook pages with a significant following and a focus on CSIs posted within the context of conversations on those pages. This study used purposive sampling to select a sample of 11 Facebook cites whose contents were analyzed. This study collected primary data using content analysis method. This study conducted content analysis that involved preparing, organizing and reporting data. The study found that most of the Facebook sources revealed food items like "ugali" and "Nyama Choma" were often reduced to overly simplified translations like "cornmeal" and "grilled meat," failing to capture their rich cultural significance. With regards of fashion, the study found that majority of the Facebook pages mistranslated the garments such as "kanga" led to a loss of their deeper meanings, contributing to cultural appropriation. Similarly, architectural terms also suffered from meaning shifts; more than a half of the sources depicted that terms describing unique Kenyan architectural styles were reduced to words like "huts," ignoring the cultural and historical narratives they encapsulate. The study concludes that the meaning shifts of culture-specific expressions related to food, fashion, and architecture in Kenya on Facebook have various negative implications as it leads to misunderstandings that go beyond mere words. The study thus recommends that stickers that contain only the most basic information should be made more useful by scaling them down or making them smaller while figurative language, such as idioms, should be used to describe complex ideas. Keywords: Natural Equivalents, Cultural Integrity, Meaning Shifts, Digital Communication, Facebook NLP Strategies

Authors: Aguirre Francielle Bonett , Tiecker Ana Paula , Zmuda Gabriela Guimarães Oliveira , Rocha Josemara de Paula , Gonçalves Bós Ângelo José
Published: October 2024

Objective: To examine the correlation between the Brazilian Active Aging Index (AAI-Brazil) and the Human Development Index (HDI) at both national and regional levels. Methods: Based on the original AAI developed by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe in response to the World Health Organization’s program to promote more active and healthy aging, we calculated the total and domain-specific (AAI-independence, AAI-employment, AAI-capacity, and AAI-participation) scores of the AAI-Brazil for Brazil and its regions. Data were obtained from the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSI-Brazil) and analyzed in relation to the overall HDI and its indicators (HDI-education, HDI-income, and HDI-longevity) using linear regression. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: The overall AAI-Brazil score was 34%, with domain-specific scores of 57% for independence, 39% for employment, 14% for capacity 14%, and 9% participation. The Central-West region had the highest score (36%), followed by the South and Southeast (both 35%). The North and Northeast regions had the lowest overall scores (34% and 32%, respectively), as well as the lowest scores across all domains. A positive and significant relationship was found between the AAI-Brazil and total HDI (p = 0.029), HDI-education (p = 0.011), and HDI-income (p = 0.035); as well as between AAI-capacity and total HDI (p = 0.004), HDI-education (p = 0.016), HDI-income (p = 0.008), and HDI-longevity (p = 0.003). Conclusion: Regions with higher AAI-Brazil scores were associated with higher HDI levels. This finding suggests that human development disparities affect the healthy and active aging of the Brazilian population.

Authors: JVM Pithon Napoli
Published: October 2024

Background: Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) primarily acts by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine from the presynaptic terminal, resulting in reversible chemical paralysis of muscles. It is a widely accepted treatment for improving the appearance of glabellar expression lines that develop due to muscle contraction. Method: The glabellar force patterns, facial wrinkle classification, and a number of BoNT-A units used in the corrugator and procerus muscles were evaluated. Results: The mean total units of BoNT-A used were 7.2U in the corrugator muscle (7.1U in women and 7.4U in men) and 3.9U in the procerus muscle (3.9U in women and 4.1U in men), with a positive correlation between the number of units used and the age of the 58 participants. Regarding muscle strength pattern, more units were used in the corrugator muscle with a strong pattern and facial wrinkle classification of 3-4 and moderate with the same wrinkle classification (8U and 8.5U, respectively). In the procerus muscle, more units were used in the strong force pattern with wrinkles classified as 3-4 (5U). Wrinkles classified as 3-5 required the highest number of BoNT-A units. Conclusion: The quantity of BoNT-A units used is directly proportional to the strength pattern and classification of facial wrinkles, with more units required when a strong force pattern and deep wrinkle classification are observed.

Com o objetivo de caracterizar os aspectos clínicos e hematológicos em cães naturalmente infectados e co-infectados por Ehrlichia canis e CDV, foram selecionados 146 animais de diferentes sexos, variadas raças e idades que apresentaram sinais clínicos sugestivos de erliquiose e/ou cinomose. Foi coletado sangue para realização de hemograma, pesquisa de hemoparasitas e de inclusão viral e PCR para detecção da E. canis e RT-PCR para o CDV. Verificou-se que 17,1% dos cães estavam infectados pela Ehrlichia canis, 27,4% pelo CDV e 7,5% co-infectados por Ehrlichia canis e CDV. As alterações clínicas significativas para os cães com erliquiose foram hiporexia, alopecia periocular, linfoadenopatia e tosse improdutiva e na cinomose, linfoadenopatia, mucosas congestas, ataxia e secreção nasal. A maior parte dos animais co-infectados pelo CDV e E. canis apresentaram alterações oftálmicas. Anemia e trombocitopenia foram às alterações hematológicas mais importantes nas infecções simples e nas co-infecções. Foram observadas diferenças (p<0,05) para as variáveis hemácias, hemoglobina, hematócrito, CHCM, RDW-CV, plaquetas, eosinófilos e linfócitos na erliquiose; e na cinomose, apenas os eosinófilos. Conclui-se que o diagnóstico para detecção das doenças é insuficiente para o diagnóstico, portanto recomenda-se o emprego da PCR na rotina clínica, uma vez que este exame apresenta alta sensibilidade e especificidade.

Published: October 2024

This study presents the preparation and evaluation of Aluminized Polymer Bonded Explosives (ABXs) formulations comprising RDX (Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine), AL powder, and Isoprene Rubber (IR). The formulations were carefully prepared in a laboratory setting, with efficient mixing observed at 70°C and subsequent curing at 80°C for five days. Analysis of scanning electron microscope images revealed well-coated crystals, while density measurements indicated a direct correlation between AL powder content and density. Impact sensitivity testing demonstrated decreased sensitivity with higher AL powder percentages and reduced RDX content. The formulated ABXs exhibited favorable attributes, including ease of production, reduced sensitivity to impact and friction, appropriate sensitivity to heat, and commendable performance coupled with enhanced safety and long-term thermal stability. Hence, the findings suggest promising applications for ABXs formulations in ammunition projectiles and rocket warheads, Explosive Reactive Armor, and  under water weapons.

Five physical and chemical tests (Viscosity, Specific gravity, Refractive index, Free Fatty Acid and Peroxide Value) were performed on the extracted oils. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyze the results of the five tests. Since the mentioned oil cakes contained an estimated percentage of oil, it was necessary to re-extract the amount of oil remaining in them to take advantage of all the existing quantity and several chemical solvents (N-hexane and ethanol) to compare them against each other and adopt the solvent that extracted the largest amount of oil. The results of the sunflower’s oil cake extraction are represented by recovery percentages of 80.7% and 68.7% for N-hexane and ethanol respectively and the percentages of the extracted oil of 4.35% and 3.8 % for N-hexane and ethanol respectively, while the peanut’s oil cake recovery percentages of 86.7% and 73.33% for N-hexane and ethanol respectively and the percentages of the extracted oil of 5.4% and 4.85% for N-hexane and ethanol respectively. Based on the SPSS results and taking standard physical and chemical properties into consideration, N-hexane was found to be the best solvent for both sunflower and peanut. This research is hoped to help researchers and investors by offering the proportions and properties of oils extracted from each oil cake with two effective solvents and obtaining oil-free extraction residues suitable for other uses.

This research paper presents a comparative analysis of ArcGIS Pro and ERDAS Imagine for land cover mapping using Landsat 8 data in Khartoum, Sudan. Accurate land cover mapping is essential for various applications in earth science and geography, particularly in regions like Khartoum, located at the convergence of the Blue and White Nile rivers. This research assesses the accuracy of land cover maps produced by ArcGIS Pro 3.0.3 and ERDAS Imagine 16.7.0 using the maximum likelihood classification type for supervised classification. Classes include bare soil, urban, vegetation, and water are the main subjects of the evaluation. The findings indicate that ArcGIS Pro outperformed ERDAS Imagine, which obtained an overall accuracy of 86% with a kappa value of 0.81333, with an overall classification accuracy of 92.50% and a kappa statistics value of 0.9063. Moreover, ArcGIS Pro demonstrated superior proficiency in delineating urban and bare soil features. These findings suggest that ArcGIS Pro is a better fit for land cover mapping projects in Khartoum, providing enhanced performance and accuracy, especially in urban and bare soil environments.

This research analyzes the implementation of kultum activities (seven-minute lectures) after congregational noon prayers to increase students' self-confidence and mastery of Islamic religious material at SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Jombang. The research method is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation. The research showed that the cult activities went well and increased students' self-confidence and mastery of Islamic religious material. Students' self-confidence increases because they are used to speaking in public, while their mastery of the material increases because students have to study and understand the material before delivering it. Obstacles faced, such as students who are not used to speaking in public, annoying audiences, and errors in reciting verses, can be minimized by providing guidance, motivation, and ongoing evaluation. The implementation of this cult activity is a real effort to realize the school's vision and mission, as well as forming positive characters in students through instilling values such as love for Allah SWT, self-confidence, hard work, mastery of religious material, independence, responsibility, honesty, trustworthiness, respect, courtesy, leadership, justice, kindness, humility, tolerance, peace, and unity.
METHODOLOGICAL BASES OF PERSONNEL TRAINING FOR CREATIVE INDUSTRIES
Authors:   Russian State Vocational Pedagogical University, Yakusheva Kristina N.
Published: October 2024

The article presents the results of a targeted selection of promising methodological approaches and guidelines for training specialists for creative industries. Due to the growing importance of these industries as a special sphere of the economy, methodological clarity is required, which would allow us to develop a reliable methodological basis and an optimal practice-­oriented theoretical model of the personnel training system based on it. The article explains the author’s choice of three functionally different and complementary methodological components: a socio-­cultural approach that allows us to understand creative industries and training for them as a specific socio-­cultural phenomenon; an agonal-­evolutionist guideline that reveals the specifying socio-­cultural differentia specifica of creative industries and requires an appropriate model of content and forms of trai­ning for them; immersive cultural and educational practices as a productive and verifiable basis for an optimal model of professional training for creative industries.
TOOLS OF INTRODUCING A FUTURE TEACHER TO MENTORING IN THE UNIVERSITY PRACTIC
Authors:   Tomsk State Pedagogical University, Nasonov Dmitry B.
Published: October 2024

The author identifies the problem of insufficient use of mentoring resources in the training of future teachers at the university. If in the practice of general education, the mentoring line “mentor — young specialist” is implemented on a full scale in a meaningful and tactical way, then the line “student-­mentor and child” is poorly deployed in bachelor’s training. Various formats of introducing students to mento­ring while studying at a pedagogical university are presented, which actualize the educational potential of mentoring in the professional development of future teachers. It is proved that the basic pedagogical means of introducing mentoring is a professional test, which the author interprets as the pedagogical activity of a student in building interaction with a pupil who needs real help and support from another person to solve his own problems. It is proved that in order to introduce a student to mentoring, it is important to use certain methodological tools that make this professional acti­vity acme-oriented.

To improve the effectiveness of the organization, it is becoming increasingly important to introduce a systemically working effective mentoring model that allows achieving positive effects (adaptation, training, skill formation, reducing staff turnover, etc.). The purpose of the study is to develop a progressive mentoring model, which is necessary as a psychological and pedagogical tool in the process of preparing specialists for professional activity. This model will contribute to professional and personal development, which involves taking into account individual inclinations, opportunities and life experience at the stage of professional formation. The proposed progressive mentoring model solves a number of problems identified in the article that arise when building a mentoring system and in the future can become a single tool for training specialists for professional activity in the workplace in an organization. In addition, it contributes to more effective professional and personal development of both specialists and mentors themselves.

Background:
Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii. Infection with virulent strains of T. gondii induces excessive production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and increases fatality. Propolis has potential as an anti-inflammatory and immunomodulator.
Aim:
This study aimed to evaluate the pro-inflammatory cytokines response of Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and IL-17, and the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in mice infected with T. gondii RH strain and treated with ethanol extract of Trigona bee propolis (EEP) from Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), Indonesia.
Methods:
A total of 36 mice were divided into six groups with six mice per group. Group 1 was considered as a negative control; mice were not infected and not treated while in groups 2 to 6, mice were infected with 100 T. gondii (tachyzoites). Mice in group 2 were infected but not treated whereas in groups 3, 4, 5 and 6, respectively, were treated orally with Cotrimoxazole 40 mg/kg body weight, EEP 1 mg, EEP 2 mg and EEP 4 mg, the day after infection for 3 days. All mice under study were euthanized following ethical considerations with prior approvals, on the fifth day post-infection and spleens were taken to observe cytokines using flow cytometry. Statistical analysis was performed with one-way ANOVA and Duncan Multiple Range Test using (you may add any statistical tool/ software if used?? Like R version? , SPSS, version? If you used any of these/others)
Results:
EEP (1-4 mg) increased CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and CD11b+ cells in infected mice, though not significantly (p>0.05), unlike cotrimoxazole, which showed significant increases (p<0.05). EEP at 2 mg and 4 mg (G5 and G6) reduced IL-2 and IL-17 in CD4+ T cells, and at 4 mg (G6) in CD8+ T cells. IL-10 expression increased in CD11b+ cells at 1 mg and in CD4+ T cells at 4 mg (G6).
Conclusion:
Propolis Ethanol Extract from Trigona spp. bees acts as an immunomodulator and anti-inflammatory in T. gondii-infected mice, supporting its potential as an anti-toxoplasmosis agent.
CONQUISTA DOS DIREITOS FEMININOS NA SOCIEDADE BRASILEIRA E SUA BUSCA POR IGUALDADE E JURÍDICA
Authors: Silva Bruno Moreira da , Stefanoni Luciana Renata Rondina
Published: October 2024

Busca-se através da presente pesquisa analisar as conquistas das mulheres perante a sociedade brasileira, que sempre foram tratadas como inferiores e tidas como limitadas pelo simples fato de serem do sexo feminino. Com a incessante luta por direitos sociais igualitários, o movimento feminista foi tomando força ao redor do mundo, principalmente nos países ocidentais, tendo uma importância fundamental para o desenvolvimento de toda a classe feminina. No Brasil, embora haja leis próprias que embasam o movimento das mulheres, mostra-se necessário o acompanhamento constante do legislativo, aprimorando políticas públicas. Pesquisas apontam que os casos de violência doméstica no país são uma triste realidade, e que infelizmente se faz presente no cotidiano de inúmeras mulheres brasileiras, e que nem sempre há o devido apoio e acompanhamento necessário, gerando algumas situações in agradáveis e até mesmo perigosas, sendo essa então, a situação atual que devemos amenizar. O trabalho foi desenvolvido utilizando a revisão de literatura pautada em pesquisas bibliográficas, por meio de pesquisas em sites, doutrinas, artigos e legislações.
