Dynamics of collection accumulation: estimation of research efforts on the example of the mammal fauna of Cherkasy oblast, Ukraine
Authors:   National Museum of Natural History, NAS of Ukraine (Kyiv, Ukraine), Zagorodniuk Igor
Published: March 2024

The article deals with the dynamics of the amassment of natural history collections on the example of one of the regions of Ukraine, the fauna of which is under constant attention of researchers. This region is the Middle Dnipro Region, namely Cherkasy Oblast in general and Kaniv Nature Reserve in particular, which are the sites of long-term monitoring studies of fauna and bases for conducting field research and field practices of students. The dynamics of collections development is considered on the example of the collections of the National Museum of Natural History of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The article shows the continuity of specimen income to the collections and, at the same time, significant changes in the dynamics of such income. Several indicators that can reflect the dynamics of research efforts are proposed. The decades (1900–1919, etc.) are chosen as time periods, and the variables are the total number of specimens per decade and the total number of families they represent. These indicators can be used to evaluate three dependent notions: in terms of fieldwork, the completeness of the captures (records); in terms of research history, the intensity of research; and in terms of museology, the abundance of collections. Among the indicators tested are the geometric mean (SQRT (Nfam × Nsp)), the quadratic mean (SQRT [(Nfam2 + Nsp2) / 2]) and the Simpson diversity index (1 / ∑ (pi)2). The first two indicators are highly dependent on sample sizes and therefore vary widely; and for this reason, the author recommends using with Simpson’s diversity index. It can be used to estimate the distribution of not only the number of specimens by family for each decade (essentially a comparison of family abundance), but also any other distributions, replacing families with genera or orders and changing the analysis periods depending on the amount of available data. The term ‘research effort’ can be used as a synonym for ‘collecting effort’, which can be found in the publications of English-speaking colleagues. The algorithm for assessing ‘research effort’ is an important tool in analysing the history of collections, levels of research on regions, and the history of research.
Dzharylgach Island: results of game management research in 1991–2022
Authors:   Steppe Branch of G. M. Vysotsky Ukrainian Research Institute of Forestry and Forest Melioration (Oleshky, Ukraine), Sheihas Ihor
Published: March 2024

Monitoring faunal observations and surveys in the State Enterprise ‘Skadovsk Experimental Forestry and Hunting Enterprise’ have been carried out on both the mainland and island (Dzharylhach Island) parts during annual expeditions since 1991, including since 2009 in cooperation with the Dzharylhach National Nature Park. One of the goals of these studies was to improve survey methods. The last (pre-war) planned wildlife survey on Dzharylgach Island was carried out on 1 February 2022, just before the war. The island resembles a narrow sandy spit with a total area of 5.5 thousand hectares, which extends 42 km east of the mainland into the Black Sea. Its territory is covered with dense cereal and sedge grass, and much less often with shrubs (mainly olive). It is the widest island (up to 4 km) in the area of Hlyboka Bay. The current level of hunting intensity on the island, especially in recent years, is low. The main reason for this is the traditional change in the use of the land after the creation of a national park in the territory of the experimental hunting grounds in 2009. At the same time, given the importance of the economic and conservation status of the national park, it is necessary to fundamentally address the issue of increasing the productivity of the common territory by users of the provided lands, based on the long-term positive examples of the work of national parks in the vast majority of countries. The main objects of monitoring are the red deer (Cervus elaphus), the fallow deer (Dama dama) and the mouflon (Ovis gmelini). Over the 32-year period of observation, the number of deer on the island has almost halved, from 385 to 194 individuals. However, this is about 2% of the country’s deer population and 111 times higher than the average density. The situation is further complicated by the imbalanced age and sex structure of the herd. In recent years, the number of adult male deer has decreased from 32.9 to 9.9% due to unsystematic hunting in previous years and limited population regulation in recent years. The situation is similar for the island’s fallow deer population, and especially for mouflon. Thus, the search for realistic ways to regulate the quantitative and qualitative state of wild ungulates populations is the basis of faunal research on the island.

Revolving”Ownership: The Interplay between Yang- Ownership and Yin-Ownership
Authors: Sravru Stoyan
Published: March 2024

The article examines the concept of “revolving ownership” as a metamodel of property, whose structure allows for the interchange (rotation) of diverse components included in it, each capable of achieving different objectives through varied means. It is noted that the metamodel of revolving ownership can be utilized in the creation and structuring of property models over specific entities, necessitating consideration of specific social and environmental factors. In this context, a distinction is made between yang-ownership (“classic” private ownership used as an instrument for growth through extraction and accumulation, analogous to so-called “extractive” ownership) and yin-ownership (engaged possession involving a healthful balance between rights and obligations, i.e., flexible distribution of various components aimed at achieving sustainable equilibrium, analogous to the so-called “generative” ownership). The thesis is presented that the sooner the “proprietary” nature of yang-ownership is overcome, yielding to its dominance through the integration of balancing yin-components, the more easily and effectively legal professionals can propose novel and diverse ownership models. The recognition and acknowledgment of the complexity of nature imply greater intricacy in contemporary property law. It is time for property law to reconsider its unquestionable axioms and seek an appropriate solution to the challenges humanity faces today.

Approaching Edith Stein´s Philosophical Anthropology
Authors: Knaup Marcus
Published: March 2024

In the following contribution I would like to present Edith Stein´s Philosophical Anthropology in somewhat more detail. I am going to pursue the issue of being human in Stein, to address fundamental issues and key concepts of her oeuvre, to refer to other approaches, to point out to Stein´s innovative contribution to Philosophical Anthropology under the horizon of phenomenology and classical metaphysics. As a preliminary remark, I would first like to outline a few lines of Stein’s biography. It is of course also possible to skip the first chapter and go straight to the philosophical considerations.
Actuality аnd Modality: Vatsov’s Energetic Metaphysics
Authors: Kanev Alexander
Published: March 2024

The article reconstructs and critically discusses the energetic metaphysics of Dimitar Vatsov, which may be regarded as an important event in the philosophical life in Bulgaria. The article consists of two parts. The first part situates Vatsov's project in the context of the contemporary development of metaphysics and presents the evolution and logic of its realization, emphasizing the central ideas of actuality, energy, and codification. The second part presents a series of critical observations on the realization of the project, related to conceptual ambiguities and problematic theoretical moves. It is argued that the modal aspects of energetic metaphysics need conceptual clarification and theoretical justification. The article also aims to provoke a broader discussion on the state and future of metaphysical research in Bulgarian philosophy.

Relationship between toxoplasma IgG avidity levels and abortion risk
Authors: Wulandari Shinta Ayuni
Published: March 2024

Abortion is still a problem that receives special attention because based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO), abortion accounts for 15-50% of the causes of maternal death in the world. One of the risk factors for abortion is infection during pregnancy, including toxoplasmosis. The aim of this study was to analyze whether there was a relationship between toxoplasma IgG avidity levels and the risk of abortion. The research uses a literature review study to identify, analyze, and evaluate scientific papers through MDPI, PubMed, and ScienceDirect data sources. 60 articles were produced from the four data sources, there were 7 articles that passed the inclusion criteria which are summarized in the PRISMA diagram. The results in one article mentioned two abortions and the other article mentioned 17 abortions, both in first trimester pregnant women with low toxoplasma IgG avidity levels. Both articles show the results that women who have low toxoplasma IgG avidity levels experience more abortions in the early trimester than women who have medium or high toxoplasma IgG avidity levels. The conclusion of this study was that there was a relationship between toxoplasma IgG avidity levels and the risk of abortion.

Published: March 2024

The conceptualisation of internationalisation of the curriculum has evolved over the last 30 years. Simultaneously, its contextual foundation has also gradually shifted from being Euro-centric to encompass a broader landscape beyond the Western domain. Therefore, understanding of Internationalisation of the curriculum needs to include practices in these contexts. This special issue hence has invited researchers and practitioners in the field of higher education internationalisation to participate in this conversation. The focus of the discussion is on emerging and alternative understanding and practices of internationalising the curriculum which include incorporating local cultural values and perspectives in the curriculum. This Special Issue features articles that firmly situate the Internationalisation of teaching, learning, and the curriculum in their specific contexts and acknowledge the influence of important contextual factors on the motivations, processes, and outcomes of internationalisation. Closely associated with taking an inclusive lens in understanding internationalisation of the curriculum, we also discuss the inclusivity of communicating research in this field. Specifically, we discuss the challenges encountered by scholars working outside the English-speaking domain to communicate their research with English-speaking research communities. We hence call for support for international academics from the publication outlets. We hope that this Special Issue constitutes a step towards a more diverse and inclusive scholarship in the field of internationalisation in higher education.
Navigating intercultural competence at home
Authors: Schembri Sharon
Published: March 2024

A globalised world brings diversity into the classroom and internationalisation to higher education, where intercultural competence comes to the fore. Accommodating interculturality, however, extends beyond the international student cohort and includes heterogeneous domestic cultures, including Indigenous cultures. In the Australian context, historically Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have experienced limited access to culturally appropriate health, social and educational services. Accordingly, higher education institutions can be vehicles of change in this regard. More specifically, just as many higher education providers have moved towards internationalised curriculum, there is increasing evidence and intention to introduce Indigenised curriculum where respective educators delivering indigenised curricula need to be culturally competent. Institutions therefore, are offering cultural training programs for educators delivering Indigenised curricula, where recognition of Indigenous cultural competence amongst educators would be useful. Yet, the review presented in this paper demonstrates a gap in literature regarding measurement of cultural and intercultural competence in the context of Australian higher education. To that end, an instrument specifically designed to measure educator intercultural competence in Australia as related to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is proposed. This instrument will enable higher education institutions to document educator Indigenous cultural competence, demonstrate the intercultural skills of their educational staff and continuously improve intercultural competency within the institution.
Improving assessment equity using Interactive Oral Assessments
Authors: Krautloher Amita
Published: March 2024

Equity in assessment has been a major issue plaguing the higher education sector for a long time and although efforts have been made to implement a variety of assessments to address this issue, the assessment design tends to ignore the increasingly diverse student population. This article assesses the equity of Interactive Oral Assessments (IOAs) based on the principles of the McCES framework: match, comprehensible, challenge, elicit, and scaffold. Accordingly, the process of designing and administering IOAs is compared with each of the five principles and shows that the assessment environment for students from equity backgrounds is significantly improved. To do this, the data collected from teaching staff and students from a two-year mixed methods research project at a regional university in Australia is used to evaluate the claim. The findings demonstrate that IOAs offer an opportunity to assess students’ learning and clarify their ability to achieve learning outcomes which aligns with the McCES framework; therefore, it is argued that IOAs are an equitable assessment approach. The implications of the findings for academics, students, and educational institutions are significant. For academics, they can be confident that their assessment approach is equitable. For non-traditional students, the chances of succeeding in assessments and improvement in learning are enhanced. For educational institutions, a direct impact on reducing the gap between the performance of mainstream students and non-traditional students in relation to retention, attrition, and successful completions is expected.
A contextualised Internationalisation of the curriculum: A case study in China
Authors: Li Qi , Li Dongmei , Wu Jianli
Published: March 2024

China is often seen as a home country of international students in higher education internationalisation. Little is known how Chinese institutions actively engage in multi-modal and multi-lateral internationalised practices. This paper offers an updated insight of higher education internationalisation in a context outside the dominant western landscape through a case study set in an international college in China. Making use of the existing frameworks of internationalisation of the curriculum (IoC), the current case study focuses on three key aspects of the curriculum: program development, student experience and staff perspectives. A mixed-method approach was used to collect data from three sources: institutional archives and course materials, and student and staff surveys. Triangulated data show that the curriculum was well aligned within the existing IoC frameworks. The curriculum incorporated international content and comparative approaches. Local socio-cultural values were also embedded in joint programs. Both students and academics’ perspectives of an internationalised curriculum showed a high level of alignment with the western community. Student and staff data also revealed urgent need to enhance the level of internationalisation, including English competence of discipline academics, people-to-people connection between local Chinese students and incoming international students, student and staff mobility opportunities, and teaching and research development for academic staff. This study hopes to contribute to the current knowledge of internationalisation of the curriculum with updated understanding in a Chinese context. This paper also provides insight in internationalisation implemented at the curriculum level in China, a context that presents much difference from but relates closely with the western context.
Electoral Performance of Religiopolitical Alliance (IJI) in Election 1988: An Assessment
Authors: Dr. Shahbaz Ali  , Dr. Adnan Tariq  , Dr. Yawar Haroon
Published: March 2024

The creation of Pakistan was the result of Islamic ideology. The Muslims were demanding a separate homeland where they would apply the teachings of Islam. Following Pakistan’s establishment, the principles of Islam were included in the constitution-making process in the form of an Objective Resolution. The Constitutions of 1956, 1962, and 1973 were all based solely on Islamic principles. Any laws that were considered to be anti-Islam were firmly rejected by the public at large, resulting in severe agitation. When the socialist Pakistan People’s Party tried to re-emerge in Pakistan’s political arena in 1977, Islamic ideology proved to be a binding force against PPP, prompting the formation of the Pakistan National Alliance. In 1988, the socialist PPP returned to Pakistani politics, and supporters of Islamic ideology, including the military, government, and religious political parties, formed an alliance against her, forming Islami Jamhuri Ittehad. IJI took part in elections but did not win the support of the voters. Now the question is why IJI, Pakistan’s largest religious-political alliance, was unable to defeat the PPP, a single political party. What were the reasons behind its failure? How the PPP dealt with opposition strategies in elections, including the President, Military, and IJI? What were the real causes of PPP’s success in the elections? The answers of these question are the real motive of this research.

Published: March 2024

This paper presents a comprehensive review of the application and impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in risk management within the banking sectors of the United States and Nigeria, emphasizing a comparative analysis. The objective is to assess how AI technologies are adopted and implemented in risk management practices across these diverse banking environments, identifying the benefits achieved and the challenges faced. The review synthesizes existing literature, including case studies, industry reports, and academic research, to outline the current state of AI in risk management. It delves into various risk types such as credit, market, operational, and compliance risks, exploring the specific AI tools and techniques employed to address these risks in each country. Key findings suggest that U.S. banks have a more mature implementation of AI in risk management, characterized by the adoption of advanced analytics, machine learning models, and natural language processing for enhanced decision-making, fraud detection, and compliance monitoring. In contrast, the Nigerian banking sector is at a nascent stage of AI adoption, with efforts hampered by challenges like inadequate technological infrastructure, regulatory hurdles, and a lack of skilled professionals in AI. Despite these differences, the paper identifies a strong interest and potential for growth in AI applications within the Nigerian banking sector, spurred by an increasing recognition of AI's value in enhancing competitiveness and meeting regulatory demands. Conclusively, the review underscores the critical role of supportive regulatory policies, investment in technological infrastructure, and capacity building in human capital as pivotal elements for fostering the effective integration of AI in risk management. The comparative analysis reveals both the disparities and potential areas of collaboration between the U.S. and Nigerian banking sectors, advocating for a global dialogue on best practices and strategies for AI adoption in risk management.

Published: March 2024

Cryoglobulins are proteins that precipitate individual’s serum or plasma at temperatures lower than 37°C.  It could be due to immunoglobulin and complement component or immunoglobulin alone. They produce physical finding of ischemia, inflammation in areas of low temperature (skin, ear lobes, nose and fingers), and of high protein concentration (glomeruli) especially at high concentration in plasma. We report here a case of middle age male who presented with worsening of pedal edema, high blood pressures and shortness of breath. On workup found to have nephrotic range proteinuria. Renal biopsy done which showed mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis with hyaline thrombi. After biopsy report cryoglobulins were sent which turn out to be positive and patient was subjected to immunosuppression to which he responded well. However; we could not find out the cause of cryoglobulinaemia hence we labeled it as mixed essential cryoglobulinaemia.

‘The clinical psychology trainee requires support not only with systemic ideas and their application, but also with the process of transition in which new ideas come into contact with and challenge old assumptions’ (Hill, 2014, p.280)

John Burnham (2017) created a quadrant to map out how any situation holds possibilities and draws on/creates resources, but in parallel, problems and restraints need to be considered. This has been our experience of embedding systemic training in a DClinPsy programme. As many DClinPsy programmes now offer, or plan to offer, embedded systemic Foundation and Intermediate courses, we share our learning from Exeter in the hope of supporting others on this journey. We include the voices of trainees who we invited to be part of this article.

This paper discusses the development of a systemic family clinic in a Paediatric Health Psychology setting. Appreciative Inquiry (AI) was used in the development of the clinic and to consider future plans. Reviewing the development of the clinic a year on from the AI session we identified the benefits of embedding systemic family work and training strategy within the department. This was enabled by a willingness to lean into uncertainty, clear boundaries, structure and protected time. AI also helped us to look towards growth in the future. We reflect on the process and offer some key learning points that we hope will inspire others in their own service development.
A critical examination of slash fiction theories
Authors: Byrne Sakura
Published: March 2024

This article explores and critically examines the main theories that have previously been proposed to offer understanding into the phenomenon of slash fiction, a genre of fan fiction which concentrates on male/male erotica, written by women for women. While theories such as the idea that slash offers a way for the women who read and write it to transcend the limitations of hegemonic masculinity are both compelling and empowering, this article concludes that one fixed theory cannot satisfactorily encompass the multiplicity of fluctuating meanings that slash holds for its fans. Also, while there is no doubt that the reading and writing of slash holds subversive potential due to the way it questions the constructions of gender and sexuality, it is possible that the over-theorisation of slash fiction can be seen as problematic as it may stem from discomfort over the idea of women seeking sexual gratification that exists outside of monogamous heterosexual relationships, therefore detracting from the fact that women are often drawn to this genre purely because they find it erotic and pleasurable.
Celebrity ‘rape-rape’: An analysis of feminist and media definitions of sexual violence
Authors: Tosh Jemma
Published: March 2024

In 2009 a US-based television programme,The View, discussed the arrest of film director Roman Polanski. Polanski was wanted for six outstanding charges related to the rape of Samantha Gailey in 1977. During this episode of theThe View, Whoopi Goldberg made a controversial statement that Polanksi was not guilty of ‘rape-rape’. This statement along with the long history of Polanski’s avoidance of incarceration, illustrates the ongoing challenges for feminists to confront the trivialisation of sexual coercion and violence. Goldberg’s comments initiated an enthusiastic response on online forums and reinvigorated debates around definitions of rape. In this paper, I analyse online discussions on a feminist blog using discourse analysis (Parker, 2014) and the importance of considering the interrelated concepts of consent/non-consent, pleasure/distress and power in understanding the complexity and diversity of experiences of sexual violence.

Variation in Match Physical Performance in Turkish Super League Soccer Players by Position Across Four Seasons
Authors: Aşçı Alper , Köklü Yusuf , Alemdaroğlu Utku
Published: March 2024

This study examined variations in match physical performances of Turkish Super League soccer players over four consecutive seasons, considering playing position. Data were derived from 1224 different match indices for 17997 observations of 25 different teams. These data were collected over the four seasons from 2015–16 to 2018–19 utilizing a multi-camera computerized tracking system. Playing positions were categorized as follows: central defender (CD), external defender (ED), central midfielder (CM), external midfielder (EM), and forward (FWR). The data analysed covered total distance, as well as distances covered in the following conditions: high-speed running (HSR, 20-23.9 km.h-1), sprinting (> 24 km.h-1), high metabolic power (HMP; from 20 to 35 W·kg1), elevated metabolic power (EMP; from 35 to 55 W·kg-1), and maximal metabolic power (MMP; > 55 W·kg-1). Players in the CM position were found to cover a significantly greater total distance, as well as significantly greater HMP and EMP distances than all other positions. In contrast, those in EM and ED positions engaged in significantly greater high-speed running and sprint distance than all other positions (p<0.05). Decreases were found in the distances covered in the different running speed zones and metabolic power zones for all positions over the seasons from 2015–16 to 2018–19. These findings show that the positional roles of the players entail different physical demands. Therefore, it is recommended that coaches consider the physical demands of the positions and seasonal variation when creating training programs for players.

Sukses Makmur Samudra Berjaya Batam. Proses pengajuan jasa kepelabuhanan ini terbagi menjadi empat bagian yakni labuh, tambat, pandu dan tunda. Dalam proses pengajuan jasa kepelabuhanan ini menggunakan sistem yang dinamakan sistem B-SIMS di Batam, diterapkannya B-SIMS bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pelayanan jasa kepelabuhanan sesuai dengan nilai Dedikasi (Terdepan, Dinamis, Kolaboratif, dan Terintegrasi) yang menjadi budaya kerja Badan Usaha Pelabuhan (BUP) BP Batam. Dengan penerapan B-SIMS, pengguna jasa tidak perlu lagi datang ke pelabuhan untuk mengurus PUK dan memonitor status nota sudah sampai di mana, sehingga bisa dikatakan pelayanan jasa kepelabuhanan di BUP sudah menerapkan digitalisasi sistem. Metode yang digunakan penulis dalam menyelesaikan penelitian ini adalah: Metode Lapangan (Field Research) dan Metode Pustaka (Library Research). Adapun masalah – masalah yang dihadapi dalam pengurusan jasa kepelabuhan adalah lambatnya verifikasi dari sistem yang melibatkan instansi terkait. Kerjasama serta koordinasi yang baik antara perusahaan pelayaran dengan instansi terkait dalam kegiatan pengajuan jasa kepelabuhanan sangat dibutuhkan demi kelancaran. Perlu di ingat dari koordinasi yang dimaksud adalah supaya instansi terkait dapat melakukan tugas dan fungsinya sehingga pelayanan  kapal dapat berjalan dengan lancar, aman, dan efisien.

This paper deals with carbon stock in litter and soil of the old growth Pinus roxburghii (Pine) plantation. The Pine plantation was raised in the year 1926 and due to the mortality of Pine is being replaced by some broad-leaved species, in patches, constituting four plant communities. The study of these communities, viz. Pure Pine, Pine – Michelia, Mixed Pine and Pure Cinnamomum camphora community shows that carbon content and organic carbon percentage was higher in Pine-Michelia and Mixed Pine communities than in Pure Pine and Pure C. camphora communities, therefore it may be concluded that Pine plantation mixed with broad -leaved is beneficial in carbon stock as well as organic carbon percentage, the litter of mixed Pine forest with higher base content is less acidic, less able to complex on protein and much easier to decompose than acidic litter of Pure Pine forests.

Amaç: Emzirme oranlarının arttırılması sağlık politikalarında en önemli küresel öncelik olarak tanımlanmıştır. Bu çalışmamızda doğum sonrası dönemde annelerin emzirme öz yeterlilik algısı ile emzirme başarısına etki eden faktörler arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçladık.Yöntem: Tek merkezli, tanımlayıcı kesitsel tipteki bu çalışmaya Temmuz – Kasım 2022 tarihleri arasında üniversite hastanesinde doğum yapan 248 gebe dahil edilmiştir. Annelerin doğum sonrası uygunluk durumuna göre yüz yüze anket yöntemiyle annelerin emzirmeye yaklaşımları sorgulanmış postnatal emzirme öz-yeterlilik ölçeği kullanılarak emzirme yeterlilikleri değerlendirilmiştir.Bulgular: Annelerin yaş ortalaması 28,0±4,8 yıl, emzirme öz-yeterlilik ölçeği ortalaması 54,0±7,1 puan saptandı. Doğumdan hemen sonrası anne sütüyle beraber formül mama verme oranı %52,4 idi. Anneler bebeği besleyecek kadar sütlerinin henüz gelmediğini (%25,4), bebeklerinin doymadığını düşündükleri (%15,3) için formül mama takviyesine başlamışlardı. Bebeğe emzik hiç vermemeyi %30,6 oranında anne düşünürken %41,5’i emziği hemen vermediğini ama anne sütüne alıştığında vereceğini belirtti. Çalışmamızda yüksek gelir seviyesine sahip olan (p
