Published: February 2023

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) fruits are climacteric in nature and have a very limited shelf-life thereby it is a challenge for prolonged storage. Use of cold storage is alternative approach to enhance the shelf-life of mango. Therefore, an integrated approach for shelf-life extension of fruits is done by pre-treatment with safe chemicals and storage at low temperature. Mature fruits of mango Dashehari were treated with hot water (52±2oC), methyl jasmonate (0.01%), methyl salicylic acid and control (normal tap water) for 3 minutes and stored at low temperature (12±2oC and 85 to 90 % RH). Fruits were withdrawn at weekly interval and assessed for physico-chemical parameters. The cumulative physiological loss in weight (CPLW) was 10.26 per cent in control fruits, while it was 5.12% in fruits treated with methyl jasmonate on 28 day of storage. The CPLW were 13.95 and 8.64% for control and methyl jasmonate treated fruits, respectively on 28+3 days under ambient conditions. The TSS:acid ratio in untreated fruits was 7.39, whereas treated fruits had 7.65 on 28 day of storage. The acidity of the fruits decreased with increase in storage. Total carotenoids content of the treated and control fruits on 28 day of storage were 2.42 and 1.44 mg/100g, respectively. The fruits of mango cv Dashehari on the day of harvest had antioxidant content of 0.54 mili moles trolox equivalent, while it was 2.57 mili moles trolox equivalent compared to control on the 21 day of storage under cold storage (12±2 oC and 85 to 90 % RH). Conclusively methyl jasmonate 0.01% treated fruits of Dashehari could be stored for 28 plus 3 days than normal shelf-life of 21 days under cold storage (12±2o C and 85-90% RH).

Published: February 2023

Sobre la observación, análisis y la evidencia empírica de los autores se plantean criterios conceptuales de cómo la frustración recurrente desencadena en un estado de autosabotaje en las persona y colectividades, denominándola ruta frustración recurrente – autosabotaje, la que atraviesa dos estadías, la desconfianza generalizada y la actitud escéptica. Situación psicosocial que responde a aprendizajes producto de los condicionamientos de los contextos socio-culturales en las dimensiones: Cognitivo, Afectivo-emotivo, Comportamental y Espiritual. Inicia en la Frustración recurrente, estado emocional y fisiológico desagradable de infelicidad desencadenado tras la suspensión inesperada o demora de una recompensa o resultado deseado.  La primera estadía es la desconfianza generalizada, tendencia hacia la suspicacia y sobrevaloración de lo negativo, desaciertos o vacíos sin propuesta ni involucramiento en la solución de los problemas. La segunda estadía, la actitud escéptica, predisposición para no reconocer y aceptar oportunidades y aspectos positivos bajo un predominio en los juicios y opiniones de la duda, la crítica y el negativismo. El autosabotaje, punto último de llegada que, en analogía a la filosofía nihilista equivale a una autonegación o autoanulación en tanto todo se acaba y se consume reduciéndose finalmente a la nada y el vacío. Se acude a indicadores sobre la percepción de los peruanos hacia los problemas nacionales, actores sociales e institucionalidad como, la corrupción, los políticos, los poderes del estado y el gobierno, Se estructura sus contenidos en seis acápites; Introducción, Objetivo, Desarrollo temático, Reflexiones finales y Referencias de fuentes y documentos consultados.

Published: February 2023

Los negocios familiares constituyen la base de las economías de la mayoría de los países y tienen un peso importante en la economía mundial. En el Ecuador las empresas familiares representan el 91% del total de empresas privadas formales de la economía ecuatoriana. Este estudio se centró en determinar si los negocios familiares tanto formales como informales a nivel del cantón de Portoviejo, llevan registros contables completos para evitar multas o sanciones de éstos. Este estudio es de carácter cualitativo, exploratorio y descriptivo, dividida en dos secciones; una documental y a través de encuestas en territorio a 341 pobladores. Los principales resultados mostraron que la estructura empresarial estudiada en el contexto de los negocios familiares no lleva una contabilidad adecuada, es decir, no tienen un registro contable completo de sus negocios. Los negocios familiares se concentran en cuatro sectores económicos principales; comercio al por mayor y menor, industria manufacturera, servicios de alojamiento y alimentación, y actividades de hogar. Se recalca que este tipo de actividades no requieren de un sistema contable que refleje la realidad de sus negocios, debido a su objeto social, tamaño de activos e ingresos que generan.
EFFECT OF TITANIUM DIOXIDE AND TALC ON THE TENSILE STRENGTH OF COMPOSITE MATERIAL
Authors: DİREK Ertunga , CEYLAN Muhammet
Published: February 2023

Epoxy was incorporated with titanium dioxide and talc at different concentrations (0, 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 wt%), and then that mixture was combined with carbon fiber via a hand lay-up process. The mechanical properties of the composites were determined using universal tensile testing. The tensile test results revealed that the mechanical properties of the polymer matrix composites were increased as a function of talc and titanium dioxide concentrations. The best tensile strength of the composite was obtained from the 0.5% talc and 1% titanium dioxide sides. Increasing the weight ratio of talc 1%, 2%, and 4% and 0.5%, 2%, and 4% of titanium dioxide in composite production doesn’t exhibit a significant difference. Tensile testing behavior of talc and titanium dioxide reinforced composite specimens shows better results compared to unreinforced carbon fiber composites. As a result, this study provides a detailed explanation of how to improve the strength of carbon fiber composites.

Modèle de survie au cancer appliqué aux soins holistiques et à la recherche
Authors: Sheikh-Wu Sameena , Anglade Debbie , Downs Charles
Published: February 2023

Les progrès réalisés dans la lutte contre le cancer ont augmenté les taux de survie, entraînant un tel changement de paradigme que le cancer est maintenant considéré comme une maladie chronique; il nous faut donc évaluer notre connaissance de la survie au cancer (SC). C’est dans cette optique que les auteurs ont procédé à une recension exhaustive des écrits dans les référentiels CINAHL, MEDLINE et PUBMED de 2000 et 2021. En s’appuyant sur les concepts étudiés dans la littérature, ils ont répertorié les principaux facteurs qui influencent la survie au cancer dans l’ensemble des populations atteintes et ont proposé un modèle. Le présent article décrit ce modèle de survie au cancer (MSC). Le MSC prend en compte les facteurs prédisposant à la survie ainsi que les facteurs d’influence en jeu dans les trois phases de survie (aiguë, prolongée et permanente), à savoir le traitement et le traitement d’entretien (soins médicaux et psychosociaux), le bien-être, et d’autres éléments d’influence (expériences entraînant de profonds changements, incertitude, établissement de priorités, gestion du bien-être et conséquences indirectes) de même que les facteurs liés aux relations sociales qui jouent sur le fardeau des symptômes des survivants ainsi que l’expérience globale de la survie (état de santé et qualité de vie). Une étude de cas a d’ailleurs montré l’utilité du MSC. L’application du modèle est prometteuse pour l’avenir, tant pour améliorer la qualité de la survivance que pour guider la recherche et la pratique clinique en vue de favoriser et d’optimiser la bonne santé des survivants à long terme.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted as an online survey of 355 medical and non-medical students of Umm Al-Qura University. Results: Out of the total 355 participants, 175(49.3%) were medical students and 180 (50.7) were non-medical students. There was an almost equal distribution of males (178 (50.1%) and females 177 (49.9%) in both groups. Most of the students 208 (58.6%) were aged 21-24 and most of them were single 346 (97.5%). Awareness of seasonal influenza was 172 (98.3%) among medical students and 157 (87.2%) among non-medical students. The mean knowledge score was 7.75 ± 2.9, with a statistical difference between the two groups (P < 0.001). Vaccination uptake was low in both groups 29 (16.6%) vs 46 (25.6%) in medical and non-medical respectively. The most prominent barriers to vaccination were the negative perceptions of the vaccine’s efficacy (53%) followed by accessibility (20%) and vaccine safety concerns (17%). More than one-third (37.7%) of the medical students and (8.9%) of non-medical students had good knowledge levels of seasonal influenza. Surprisingly, 145 (40.8%) had a poor knowledge level of seasonal influenza with a significant difference between the medical and non-medical groups (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Despite the high level of awareness, the knowledge level and vaccine uptake were unsatisfactory. Negative perceptions of the vaccine’s efficacy, and accessibility were the most significant barriers to vaccination. Campaigns and health education programmes should be considered to encourage others to get vaccinated to reduce the burden of seasonal influenza. Keywords: Awareness, seasonal influenza, vaccine uptake, knowledge

Background: Hyperpigmentation is a dermatologic disorder, and because dermatologic diseases are visible, they have a profound psychological impact on persons who are affected. Aim: To assess the sun protection practices in Saudi Arabia among patients with cutaneous hyperpigmentation. Method: In October 2022, an online cross-sectional study of patients with cutaneous hyperpigmentation was conducted in Saudi Arabia. Data were collected by questionnaire-based survey, which was designed by the researcher after a thorough literature review. Using binary logistic regression analysis, the factors that influence sunscreen use were identified. Results: A total of 418 people took part in this study. More than half (63.6%) of them reported post-inflammation or acne pigmentation. Almost half (49.0%) reported having this health condition for less than a year. Only about half of the patients (45.0%) said they use sunscreen. Approximately 47.0% of sunscreen users reported using sunscreen with a UV protection factor of 21-50. Almost one-third (35.0%) of the patients reported not reapplying sunscreen during the day. Only 4.8% of patients said they frequently use a hat or sunshade while they are outside, and 40.4% said they frequently stay in the shade when they are outside. Male patients were less likely than female patients to apply sunscreen (Odds ratio: 0.80 (95% CI: 0.64-0.99), (p0.05), Conclusion: Saudi hyperpigmentation patients use sunscreen inadequately. Males used sunscreen less than females. Healthcare authorities should conduct an educational campaign to inform this group of patients about their condition and the necessity of sunscreen. Social media should be utilized to educate the public about different types of sunscreens and improve their use of sunscreens to prevent sun-related skin problems.

Betriebliche Übung und Konkretisierung im Arbeitsverhältnis

For the first time, the author examines in detail the question of demarcation between company practice and concretisation. By comparing their respective legal nature, their conditions of origin, the possibilities of preventing them from coming into existence and those of eliminating them, it is shown that the legal institutions exhibit astonishing parallels. Through a closer examination of the demarcation characteristics in question, it becomes clear that and why a demarcation characteristic of both legal institutions from each other is ultimately not necessary at all. As a result, the author argues for equal treatment of both legal institutions, which would lead to more legal certainty and unity in this area of labour law.
Teaching Professional Ethical Knowledge and Teaching Digital Skills in Higher Education
Authors: María Gómez-Trigueros Isabel
Published: February 2023

This paper analyzes the professional ethical knowledge of teachers in the use of technologies by teachers in training. It is intended to measure the correct inclusion of technologies in the classroom with the use of the Disciplinary Pedagogical Technological Knowledge model (TPACK). For this, a descriptive exploratory methodological design study was carried out. The instruments used have been the Likert scale questionnaire and the personal interview, organized into four dimensions, which are the self-perception of professional ethical knowledge, ethical knowledge of technology, pedagogical technological ethical knowledge, and disciplinary technological ethical knowledge of the future teachers. The questionnaire has been applied to a sample of 1.051 trainee teachers from a European university in the context of COVID-19 and 822 students participated in the interview. The results show the scarce training in professional ethical knowledge of teachers in training and the importance of addressing this knowledge in the twenty first century, a post-pandemic context. Another of the conclusions is the need to include the ethical component in the TPACK model to achieve correct and ethical use of digital resources in the classroom.
Did the Byzantine Negev settlements exhaust the surrounding environment? : a response to "Environment and horticulture in the Byzantine Negev Desert, Israel: sustainability, prosperity and enigmatic decline"
Authors: Cosijns Lev , Olshanetsky Haggai
Published: February 2023

The recently published Langgut et al. article claims that there was over-exploitation of the Byzantine Negev Desert. They suggest that the over-exploitation worked in conjunction with the Justinianic Plague and the Late Antique Little Ice Age (LALIA), and caused the decline of the Negev settlements in the middle of the 6th century CE. The current article wishes to respond to Langgut et al. article and show that what they found cannot be used to claim that there was an over-exploitation of the land. Moreover, contrary to what they suggest, their finds indicate and support the fact that the decline occurred later. As part of this rebuttal, we will also show that the dating used in this article, like the other articles published by the project titled "NEGEVBYZ," is incorrect.
Melancholy about the lay chalice : the polemic between John of Capistrano and John of Borotín
Authors: Mazalová Lucie , Mutlová Petra
Published: February 2023

Among various reform impulses in the 15th century, the preaching of John of Capistrano, a famous Franciscan friar and an ardent preacher, played an important role in spreading strict observance and orthodoxy. During his tour through Central and Eastern Europe, which he undertook between 1451 and 1456 in the last years of his life, John exchanged several hundred letters (ca. 400) with the people in the countries through which he travelled. These then constitute an unparalleled corpus illustrating the history of Europe in the late 15th century (Mixson 2018: p. 23). After the publication of letters related to Poland (Kras 2018b) and the upcoming volume illustrating Hungarian matters, an edition of the correspondence between John of Capistrano and various people from Bohemia and Moravia is currently under preparation. These letters (ca. 150) include – among others – a group of two dozen polemical letters that John of Capistrano exchanged with the Hussite "heretics". This paper analyses one of the sharpest polemics, written by John of Borotín to John of Capistrano on 20 August 1451, by presenting its critical edition together with an English translation of the Latin text, as well as by resolving the question of the authorship attribution.
Le cinque piaghe di Christo von Nicolò Minato und Antonio Draghi (1677) und die Verehrung der fünf Wunden Christi durch den Sternkreuzorden
Authors: Pernerstorfer Matthias Johannes
Published: February 2023

The musico-dramatic works to be performed in front of the Holy Sepulcher during the Triduum Sacrum (sepolcri) were very popular in the 17th and 18th centuries. They have their origin at the Viennese court and are not least widespread in the countries of the Bohemian crown. It is a paraliturgical form of devotion with direct reference to the context of Holy Week. It therefore seems worthwhile to ask about the connection between the content of these works and the piety of the viewers. This can be well understood by looking at Eleonore II. (1630–1686), the widow of Emperor Ferdinand III. (†1657). From 1660 to 1686 in Eleonora's chapel sepolcri were performed, usually dedicated to individual elements of the Passion of Jesus Christ. An example of this is Le cinque piaghe di Christo by Nicolò Minato and Antonio Draghi (1677). In the forms of piety practiced by or at least recommended for the members of the Star Cross Order, which Eleonore II. founded in 1668, the mystical veneration of the five wounds of Christ also plays an important role. In this way it is possible to show to what extent what maybe seems rather strange today was a religious matter of course in the 17th century, and thereby deepen the understanding of the work of Minato and Draghi.

The study revisits and interprets the basic available information concerning the relationship between art education and the labour market in classical music in the Czech Republic in the context of the European Union (EU). It adds the results of a survey of conservatory graduates and their most frequent employers of orchestras and elementary art schools within the research plan of the Arts Institute. Graduates were asked about further professional orientation in two rounds in 2019 and 2021. The survey of the most frequent employers in 2019 covered the period of three last years. A questionnaire asked about the number of hired employees in three categories 1) up to 25 years of conservatory graduates, 2) up to 30 years of university graduates, 3) over 30 years, the state of supply and demand, scale and verbalized evaluation of the level of readiness of adepts in the theoretical, practical-artistic, socio-psychological and organizational. The questionnaire also included an evaluation of the types of motivation of adepts to choose an employer (permanent position, interesting work, salary, team work). The survey proved the high importance of the Basic Art School's network for employment (the basis of social security) of artists in the Czech Republic and the relative decline in graduates' interest in places in orchestras. At the end of the study, the trend of the labour market is recapitulated with the expected demands on future artists and employers as well as the relatively low readiness of graduates for independent artistic work.
