Well-being, Experiences, and Ancestral Culture: Values from Interculturality
Authors: Villacis Zambrano Lilia Moncerrate , Bravo Gómez Valeria Cecilia , Zambrano Molina Luis Daniel , Román Vélez Víctor Manuel
Published: June 2023

The objective of the work was to analyze the experience of ancestral culture based on the values of cultural identity. Throughout history, it has been evidenced that culture continues to be transmitted through life, enriching the people in wisdom. However, it is currently being lost due to the impact of foreign cultural influence that invades the youth, relegating the values of ancestry. For this reason, it is important to examine the thinking of young people on this subject and understand their cultural vision from a global perspective. To carry out this work, qualitative, quantitative and analytical methods were used. In addition, the Delhi method was used, which made it possible to consult experts using a specific instrument. The type of research conducted was descriptive, and the technique used was a survey. The information collected was processed using SPSS 25 software, which helped to measure the reliability of the instrument used, obtaining a value of 0.95. The most relevant conclusion of the study was that values, multiculturalism and diversity are still valid. However, a dichotomy is observed in practice, which has led to the loss of referents. Especially, young people find it difficult to be congruent with their actions and words, resulting in a loss of identity. This implies the need to preserve traditions, customs, memories, gastronomy and diversity in the context of globalization
Comentario al seguro de responsabilidad civil medioambiental como mecanismo complementario de las garantías financieras obligatorias
Authors: Mandiá Orosa José Antonio
Published: June 2023

Como es sabido, la Ley 26/2007 de 23 de octubre, de Responsabilidad Medioambiental (LRM), no protege todos los recursos naturales, tan sólo aquéllos que tienen cabida en el concepto de “Recurso natural”, sean éstos públicos como privados, con las excepciones previstas en los numerales 4 y 5 de su art.3.

En este contexto, se hace necesario recurrir a otras modalidades de pólizas de seguros complementarias a las “Garantías Financieras Obligatorias” impuestas por la LRM, para una mejor protección del medio ambiente, del operador y de terceros perjudicados.

En tal sentido, estimamos que entre los productos que ofrece el Pool Español de Riesgos Medioambiental (PERM), el modelo de póliza “Seguro de Responsabilidad Medioambiental y Civil por Contaminación”, resulta ser una herramienta de lo más adecuada para dar solución a esta problemática.

Objective. The aim of this study was to investigate students’ knowledge, attitudes and hesitancy regarding COVID-19 vaccination.

Methods. A cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey was conducted among a total of 1282 medical students and 509 non-medical students at four public universities in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Tuzla, Sarajevo, Banja Luka, and Mostar.

Results. A significantly higher rate of vaccination was observed in the group of medical students as well as a higher level of knowledge about vaccination in general and vaccines against the COVID-19 disease. Students who received the COVID-19 vaccine had a higher level of knowledge about vaccination in general and COVID-19 vaccines in particular compared to the non-vaccinated students in the medical and non-medical groups, respectively. Furthermore, vaccinated students, regardless of the course they are taking, showed generally stronger positive attitudes compared to non-vaccinated students, regarding the safety and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine. Both groups of students believe that the rapid development of the vaccine is contributing to refusal or hesitancy to receive a vaccine against COVID-19. Social media/networks were the main sources of information about the COVID-19 vaccine. We did not find any contribution of social media to the reduced level of COVID-19 vaccine coverage.

Conclusion. Education of students about the benefits of the COVID-19 vaccine will lead to its better acceptance as well as the development of more positive attitudes towards vaccination in general, especially having in mind that students are the future population of parents, who will make decisions about vaccinating their children.
P53/MDM2 Complex-Based Targeted Strategies in Colon Adenocarcinoma

Published: June 2023

In the current molecular review, we describe the mechanisms of TP53/MDM2 deregulation and their impact on the colon adenocarcinoma molecular substrate and phenotype. Among the genes that are critically altered in carcinogenesis, the TP53 tumor suppressor gene is of major importance. The TP53 gene (gene locus: 17p13.1) regulates the cell cycle by controlling the G1/S and G2/M checkpoints securing the normal sequence of cell cycle phases. Furthermore, it is involved in apoptosis programmed cell death. The gene is mutated or epigenetically altered in all epithelial malignancies, including colon adenocarcinoma. Additionally, Mouse Double Minute 2 Homolog (MDM2), a proto-oncogene (12q14.3), acts as a major negative regulator for p53 expression in the p53-MDM2 auto-regulatory pathway. MDM2 binds directly to p53 and represses its transcriptional activity, promoting p53 degradation.

Conclusion. In colon adenocarcinoma, MDM2 oncogene overexpression directly influences p53 oncoprotein expression levels.
What Are Options to Improve My Separation? Part IV: Solutions to Consider for Improving Separation Speed
Authors: Stoll Dwight R.
Published: June 2023

Many high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) users are confronted with questions about how to improve upon the performance of an existing or recently developed method. These days, we have many technological options to consider, but how do we choose one (or a few) to try? The important variables that are most important for improving the speed of a separation are the maximum pressure available to drive the separation, and column temperature. Understanding the relationship between these variables and analysis time, and their effects on other choices made during method development, is helpful for developing methods that are both effective and time efficient.
A Standardized 2D-LC Screening Platform for Peak Purity Determination in Pharmaceutical Analysis
Authors: Lawler John T. , Lesslie Michael W. , Randstrom Corianne E. , Zhao Yanqun , Breitbach Zachary S.
Published: June 2023

The determination of peak purity in chromatographic methods used in pharmaceutical analysis is a vital step in evaluating specificity to ensure the safe production of medicines. Current peak purity assessments accomplished through diode array detectors (DAD) and mass spectrometry (MS) have some challenges that could lead to misinterpreted purity values when the sample under evaluation is susceptible to the limitations of these techniques. Two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) has the ability to resolve difficult-to-separate mixtures, and has been widely adapted to biological compounds. This study proposes a 2D-LC screening method as a means of determining peak purity of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and their related substances. Results confirm that the 2D-LC screen was successful in separating API/impurity mixtures in all 10 test cases studied. Selection of screening conditions including mobile phase choice and column selection is discussed along with the effectiveness and idiosyncrasies of peak purity analysis by 2D-LC.

Cross-Cultural Communication in Business: The Impact of Cross-Cultural Communication from A Marketing and Advertising Perspective
Authors: Montagna Elena
Published: June 2023

In a world so diverse and culturally rich as the one we live in today; it would be a pity to waste the possibility to broaden our horizons and understand a little of what is distant from our everyday lives. Communication is the most powerful tool we have to connect with other human beings, not only to fulfil our social needs but also for business purposes. To be effective communicators, one is not only required to speak several languages: there is so much more than words can describe. Managers need to learn about other cultures’ traditions, body language, values, customs, and many more cultural aspects that deeply influence the way business is conducted around the world. This is why cross-cultural communication is such an important topic for business studies and has long been rightfully studied. The analysis of the concepts of culture and communication are the key to understanding such a complex theme.
Interdependence Between Liberalization of Capital Flows and Economic Growth of Small Open Countries
Authors: Baraković Nurikić Mirnesa , Musić Senija
Published: June 2023

It is known that liberalization of capital flows may help countries achieve a faster growth, but also that, if not implemented gradually; it may lead countries into crisis and recession. In recent decades, many developed countries, as well as developing countries, have opened up their financial systems. In this way, they opened up to foreign competition and allowed the free movement of capital across their borders. The aforementioned phenomena arose as a consequence of the advanced processes of capital flow liberalization in these countries, as well as the increasing integration and globalization of financial markets. This problem is particularly important to investigate for small open countries, which due to their special characteristics have limited opportunities to act on the financial market. The general goal of the paper is to determine, based on theoretical and empirical scientific findings, the interdependence between the liberalization of capital flows and economic growth of small open countries. The research included small open countries of Southeast Europe in the period from 2005 to 2020. Correlation and regression analysis was used in the paper. Based on theoretical and empirical analysis, we came to the conclusion that there is a significant correlation between the liberalization of capital flows and economic growth of small open countries.

Über das Geistige in der Kunst - eine rhetorische Analyse
Authors: Volk Jürgen
Published: June 2023

Die Kunsttheorien des 20. Jahrhunderts wurden "gewiß ohne Kenntnis der rhetorischen Tradition geschrieben, mit der sie jedoch auf ausgeprägte Weise zusammenhängen. Ihre Rekonstruktion ist bis heute ein Desiderat der Kunstgeschichte geblieben." (Historisches Wörterbuch der Rhetorik) Diese Arbeit macht es sich zur Aufgabe durch eine rhetorische Interpretation des Textes Über das Geistige in der Kunst einen Beitrag zu dieser Rekonstruktion zu leisten. Die Perspektive rhetorischer Forschung birgt hierbei auf mehrfache Weise einen Vorteil in sich, wobei erstmals gezeigt werden kann, dass Kandinsky die kunsttheoretischen Forderungen seiner Lehre der Affekte und Figuren für die Malerei auch in der Argumentation des Textes umsetzt. Diese analoge Beschreibung von sprachlichen und malerischen Mitteln anhand rhetoriktheoretischer Begrifflichkeiten macht einen Kategorientransfer möglich, der den Weg zu einer Interpretation der Kunsttheorie Kandinskys ebnet und gleichzeitig belegt, dass Kandinsky die Mittel, die er für die Malerei fordert, auch einsetzt, um seine Argumentation in Über das Geistige in der Kunst zu stützen. Damit bestätigt die Analyse, was vorab in einem historischen Kontext erarbeitet wurde: Über das Geistige in der Kunst muss als "Deklaration mit Manifestcharakter" oder "heimliches Manifest" gelesen werden.
2023 Addendum to the Rough Cilicia Kiln Site Ceramics (Syedra, Delice, Biçkici, and Antiochia ad Cragum): An Update to the Kiln Sites
Authors: Rauh Nicholas
Published: June 2023

This addendum summarizes the ceramic remains recovered by the Rough Cilicia Archaeological Survey Project at four posited amphora kiln sites in the survey area: the Syedra Kiln Site, the Biçkici Kiln site, the Antiochia ad Cragum Kiln Site, and the Delice Kiln Site. All four sites were identified early on during the survey (1995-1997). The survey team conducted grab collections and triaged dozens of sherds recovered by 1997, before returning the bulk of these fragments to the field. A representative sample of the amphora fragments together with context ceramics for each site was conserved at the Alanya Archaeological Museum. In 2003 the survey team conducted a magnetometric survey of the Biçkici and Suedyra kiln sites with minimal results. Due to the longevity of the survey (1996-2011) members of the survey team, particularly Rauh, Dillon, Autret, and Kızılarslanoğlu, conducted repeated visits to the sites and recovered additional diagnostic fragments as they surfaced. These visits occurred almost annually, with intensive inspections occurring in 2008 and 2011. In September 2021, Rauh inspected the remaining collections from the kiln sites stored in the Alanya Archareological Museum.

Published: June 2023

Geoelectric investigations of the subsurface structures of parts of the Gidan Kwano campus Federal University of Technology (F.U.T) Minna, Nigeria were carried out using vertical electrical soundings technique. The area lies within the Pre-Cambian Basement Complex of Northern Nigeria. This study was carried out with the aim of determining subsurface structures of the area for groundwater potentials and to possibly locate those areas that could be useful for civil engineering work at a very low risk. Thirty-six vertical electrical soundings along six profiles (A-F) were carried out during the geophysical survey. The survey was carried out on grid 500m x500m.  The data obtained were interpreted using computer based program named Zohdy. The result of the interpreted vertical electrical soundings (VES) curves reveals three distinct geo-electric curves types were delineated: K, H and HK-curves with H-type having the most prolific aquifer. The result also shows 3 geo-electric layers which were confirm by borehole lithology. The aquifers in the study area are likely to be found in the fractured basement layers of eastern and southeastern parts of the study area. The civil engineering work can be sited in the northern and southwestern parts of the study area which are the region of shallow basement.

Key Outcomes of 5D Relativity
Authors: Hoyer Detlef
Published: June 2023

Interstellar travel needs enormous amounts of energy to accelerate payload, structure, and propellant to high speeds. For a travel to a distant star all three have to be huge. Chemical propellant needs more than 90% of the whole start weight, even from an orbit around the Moon. Most of the energy is necessary to increase kinetic energy. Because kinetic energy depends on inertial mass, a reduction of effective energy could reduce the amount of energy needed. As inertial mass and gravitational mass are the same following the equivalence principle of General Relativity and gravity depends on the gravitational constant, a local variation of the gravitational constant might result in variation of the effective mass. A varying scaling between mass/energy and spacetime could also cause a new force as known form the Pioneer anomaly. Kaluza-Klein Theory is General Relativity extended to 5 dimensions (5D). The gravitational constant is substituted by a scalar field making it variable. This scalar field is predicted to change under strong dynamic electromagnetic fields. Deriving the equation of motion from this 5D-metric predicts a fifth force.
Sexism, Language, and Women: A Study of Some Proverbial Expressions Used in the Barpeta District of Assam, India
Authors: Das Prasenjit
Published: June 2023

Today, issues related to gender and sexism in language have received unprecedented critical attention, because the language used to represent women in our society is typically gendered. A woman often faces different nuances of gender stereotyping to which one is exposed since one’s childhood—at home, in the locality, in schools and in the day-to-day social exchanges. Hence, there is an urgent need to explore the emotional, domestic, cultural and social territories as well as the personal spaces of women and discuss how in our society, the politics of language influences our perceptions about women. This paper is based on an area specific research conducted on the sexist proverbial expressions on women by the Assamese speaking people of the Barpeta district of the state of Assam, India. The research is based on locally available secondary sources. Proverbial expressions treating women negatively are only used as part of the research. The important finding of the research is that the embodiment of sexism in the proverbial expressions in Assam often assign an inferior status to women and that, from local to global, biasness against women is still widespread despite rising awareness about the politics of language in a homosocial world.
Black Trust and White Allies
Authors: Graham Kevin M. , Arthur Anaja , Griswold Ali , Kearns Beau , Klade Quinlyn , Larson Maddox , Wayne Suraya ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: June 2023

In this article, we explore two related questions. First, under what conditions, if any, can a Black person trust a white person to be a reliable ally in the context of a society founded on racial slavery? Second, under what conditions, if any, can a Black person trust a white person to be a reliable ally in the context of a white supremacist society? We follow Karen Jones and Nancy Nyquist Potter in arguing that allies must not only be competent, conscientious, and accurately self-assess their epistemic capacities, but they must also signal their trustworthiness in advance to those who would trust them. Furthermore, we argue based on our readings of the slave narratives of Mary Prince, Harriet Jacobs, and Frederick Douglass that allies must display social awareness of the social context that they share with those who would trust them and the power dynamics involved in that social context.

Environmental Public Health Professionals (EPHPs) are an essential frontline workforce that aims to keep the Canadian population healthy and safe. Our study explores the multidimensional aspects of work-life related Quality of Work (QoW) among EPHPs in Canada. A mixed-method cross-sectional online survey was used. The data collection was completed in September–October 2022 with 96 participants. The study included EPHPs such as Public Health Inspectors and Environmental Health Officers in Canada who are currently working in Canada and during the COVID-19 pandemic and managers/supervisors of EPHPs. Our Study results reveal that there have been significant challenges to ensuring QoW in work-life settings for EPHPs, ranging from negative attitudes from the employer, challenges with varying guidelines due to geographic locations of health authorities, and increased levels of workload leading to stress, anxiety, depression and burnout – all of which has affected the work-life balance and mental health and well-being of EPHPs.

The study was descriptive in nature and the data was collected through a closed-ended questionnaire. The results were analyzed through the SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) by applying, frequencies, percentages, mean scores, and standard deviation. The results of the study indicate that most of the teachers had an understanding of the school cluster system. It emerged from the study that school clusters handled mostly financial-related issues that could not result in major administrative, peripheral teaching, and learning issues. The role of cluster systems and management practices are all areas that need consideration. All cluster heads must work to collaborate, communicate and coordinate so that all feedings’ schools can benefit from the school cluster system. The study also enables further research in this area as it is a new/fresh concept and may require specific strategies in the successful implementation of this system over the secondary schools in Zarghoon Town, Quetta. The study recommends that the school clusters should be well supported by concerned authorities so that they can engage, and coordinate activities related to learning and teaching at a larger scale.

Health services play an important role of assisting people who seek medical attention within the society. It can be argued that a healthy society can bring forth sustainable economic development to its full potential while an unhealthy society cannot. However, a free movement of people, labor and right to residence which was built across East Africa (EA) borders enabled Tanzania and Kenya borders to have enormous interactions. Subsequently, increase the risk of highly communicable diseases such as Tuberculosis and Sexually transmitted infections in such a way that medical attention is unavoidable along the borders. The evolution of smartphones and propagation of mobile applications (App) in 1990s have marked new opportunities for healthcare centers and medical education. Statistically, Android Operating System (OS) owns 83% of Africa’s mobile OS market. In addition, Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) and Kenya Digital have reported over 25.79 million and 22.86 million of internet users respectively, which is equivalent to 46% and 43% of internet penetration year 2020. This discloses the need for Android Mobile Application in order to improve access to health services and related-information both online and offline using Swahili and English language and integrate it with monitoring and evaluation (M&E) tool to monitor the most requested viewed content and measures change over time on existing health facilities to citizens and residents that travel across Kenya and Tanzania borders. The developed system received positive feedback from EA citizens and residents where 90.2% of the system evaluation conducted agreed upon App usage.

Plant pests and diseases challenge the agricultural sector. A high-yielding crop, such as tomato which has the potential to increase income of smallholder farmers, its production is threatened by invasive pest called Tuta absoluta. Despite many efforts made by farmers in its management, has continued to be a great constraint, hence calling for scholars to devise approaches of identifying and combating it before causing great losses to farmers. This study introduces, a deep learning based approach for the identification of the pest at early stages of tomato growth through classification of tomato leaf images. In this study, the Convolutional Neural Network architectures (VGG16, VGG19 and ResNet50) were trained on tomato images dataset captured from the field containing healthy and infested tomato leaves. Evaluation of performance for each classifier was done by considering accuracy of classifying the tomato leaf into correct category. Experimental results showed that VGG16 attained the highest accuracy of 91.9% in classifying tomato plant leaves into correct categories. This model can be deployed and used to establish tool for early detection of Tuta absoluta pest

Published: June 2023

Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects millions of people globally and the number alarmingly increases annually. Since it results in an excessive amount of glucose in the blood, if not well managed and controlled, diabetes can cause severe complications such as cardiovascular and renal issues, blindness and nerve damage. Apart from the medication and injections that patients get from their health centers to control it, the biggest responsibility falls on the patient themselves to take the medication, eat proper diet, maintain good weight and regularly exercise to manage the illness. It is for this reason that this mobile platform is developed. DiabAssistant is a mobile and web app developed using Flutter and Django respectively with an API to bridge the two. This supportive platform helps diabetic patients be able to follow the trends of their glucose levels, get suggestions of possible reasons for the spikes based on the data they entered as well as get recommendations of what to do next to lower the glucose level. They can also choose to share with their doctor the reports generated from the app to better help the doctors come up with a more efficient treatment plan based on real data from the patient. Patients and endocrinologists were involved in different stages of the project to capture what a Tanzanian diabetic patient needs and the most user-friendly way to deliver those needs. The platform was found useful among diabetic patient as well as their doctors since it served as an assistant in aiding in the control and management of the disease.

Radio Frequency Identification Systems are becoming very useful and helpful in our daily life due to their advantages such as reduction of human error, theft prevention, time-consuming reduction, the auto-identification of targeted objects and data collection, find easily misplaced items as well as automating the processes business. Radio Frequency Identification systems have been applied in different areas including in library to manage items and library operations. Different approaches have been adopted to increase the efficiency of library management system in the East African region unfortunately, some challenges including theft of library item, pages removal, non-customer satisfaction, high cost of used system are persisting. To address the challenges an RFID system has been developed for East African Community Library. It used Ultra High Frequency (UHF) RFID readers and tags capable to send and receive data at a read range of 6m. The aim of this system is to speed up all library transactions, improve customer’s satisfaction and keep a track of all library items. It enabled also librarians to have videos records of all library operations which were used to identify page removing actors and other unwanted behavior. The developed system will facilitate users borrowing and returning library items with the help of RFID-enabled modules without more human intervention and issue an alert if a non-issued item is detected when user cross the library entrance or exit. The Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) camera and time-stamped access of library books provided with this developed system, will help to have video records of all library operations and facilitate to detect the actioner of the pages removal.
