Authors: Krylova Svitlana , Levchenko Lesia , Manoylo Nataliya , Khanas Ulyana , Kharchenko Larysa
Published: November 2022

The way in which public opinion represents a war conflict is never neutral and, therefore, is given by the journalistic handling of such a problematic situation by the social media, always conditioned by the interests of its political agenda, so that the written press is also one of the privileged theaters of operations where the war conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine takes place. The objective of the research was to analyze the representations, this is (what is said, when it is said and how it is said) that certain Latin American written press of wide dissemination makes about the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Methodologically, dialectical hermeneutics and critical analysis of political discourse were used to describe the scope and meaning of the journalistic narrative on this conflict that acquires unpredictable consequences for the current world order. It is concluded that the war conflict between the aforementioned countries occupies a prominent place in the international politics section of the Latin American press. In general, support for Ukraine's resistance and Russia's condemnation of Russia as dangerous to the security of Europe and the Western world prevail in these media.
Environmental Education efforts in a rural drought-prone district in Zimbabwe: Micro innovations with growth potential
Authors: Sibanda Arorisoe , Manik Sadhana
Published: November 2022

In Sub-Saharan Africa, climate change is evident due to the frequency of drought cycles. This paper explores the Environmental Education (EE) efforts for reducing the impact of climate change in drought prone Gwanda district, Zimbabwe. The paper focuses on how climate change mitigation and adaptation stakeholders within the community can initiate EE programs which have the potential to be upscaled to macro innovations. A qualitative interpretive case study approach was used with three data generation tools (interviews, a focus group discussion and document analysis). The sample comprised 38 participants. The study was guided by the Sustainable Rural Livelihoods Framework (1998). The study revealed that for EE programmes to be effective, they have to harness local factors. The study found that formal field days, information and skills sharing among neighbours during letsema/lidaba and Indigenous Knowledge Systems were micro innovations with growth potential to build farmers’ generative resilience to climate change.

Authors:   University of Munich (LMU), Sauer Hans
Published: November 2022

This article deals briefly with word-formation in the Old English version of Alexander’s Letter to Aristoteles (AlexArist). AlexArist has been edited several times. Here the edition by Orchard 2003 has been used, because Orchard edits not only the OE AlexArist, but also the Latin Epistola, and he provides a translation of the OE text. This text shows all the word-formation patterns common in Old English, in particular compounding, prefixation and suffixation. The latter two are sometimes grouped together under the heading of derivation.
DERIVATIVES DENOTING PERSONS IN TURKISH MOTIVATED BY COMPOUND VERBS
Authors:   Medical University – Plovdiv, Kutsarova Sema
Published: November 2022

With the development of the anthropocentric direction in modern linguistics, there is a tendency towards a complex study of man. One of the aspects of this approach is the study of the individual as a doer. Therefore, this article focusses on the linguistic patterns characterizing the doer of the action with regard to the character traits and actions performed by the doer. In the present study the object of research is the names of males excerpted from Turkish lexicographical sources formed according to derivational models and distributed in one of the word-formation types nomina agentis (agentive nouns). The aim is to perform semantic-structural modelling of the category of agentiveness in a synchronic way, considering also the diachronic one, insofar as the productivity of derivational models is related to the historical changes that have occurred.

THE CATEGORY OF ASPECT IN ENGLISH AND BULGARIAN
Authors:   University “Prof. Dr. Asen Zlatarov” – Burgas, Gotseva Mariana
Published: November 2022

The aspect as a linguistic category existing in both English and Bulgarian language is of interest not only to linguists, but also to teachers of English in Bulgaria who need to employ some optimal approaches to clarify the semantic peculiarities of this category as they are manifested in a different way in the two languages. Whereas in Bulgarian verb aspect is mostly expressed through morphological means – prefixes and suffixes, in English, verbs are classified in different categories according to their semantic features of the aspect, which are not manifested on a morphological level. This article presents and compares some of the ways of expressing the grammatical and lexical aspect in both languages and points out some of the difficulties Bulgarian students experience while acquiring the English lexical aspect.

Authors: Ferraz João , Geller Iago , Garcia Diego , Pereira Alan , Pine Mariana , Jarduli Lucas , Bialetzki Andréa , Orsi Mário
Published: November 2022

Aim: To verify variations of early fish stages through density, species composition and ecological attributes in the lower Paranapanema River. Methods: The Canoas I and Canoas II reservoirs were sampled during three reproductive periods (RP´s) between 2012 and 2015. Eggs and larvae were collected using conical-cylindrical plankton nets and juveniles by seines and sieves. After euthanasia and fixation, the samples were identified at the lowest taxonomic level and grouped according to their reproductive strategy and life history. Variations in the eggs, larvae, and juvenile’s densities were tested by Kruskal-Wallis with post-hoc Dunn's test from RP´s, while Student T-test detected differences between reservoirs. Non-metric multidimensional scaling ordination (NMDS) with post-hoc analysis of similarities (ANOSIM) were employed to elucidate differences in species composition. Major results: We sampled 5,513 eggs, 3,137 larvae, and 187 juveniles in Canoas I Reservoir, and 2,709 eggs, 237 larvae, and 13 juveniles in Canoas II Reservoir. Fishes were identified in seven orders, 15 families, and 31 species, with Pimelodus maculatus, Anostomidae, and small-sized characids being the most abundant. There was a predominance of non-migratory reproductive strategy (46%) and periodic life history (60%), most of them opportunistic species. Differences in densities were observed between RP´s and reservoirs. A clustering of three groups were performed to larvae and juveniles, where the divergences were statistically confirmed (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Our findings demonstrated the decrease of early fish stages density overtime and the dominance of opportunistic species, suggesting that these species complete their life cycle in the reservoirs. Thus, P. maculatus can be an important species for the health of ecosystems, in addition to serving as a fishing resource in reservoirs. However, the absence of critical sites for reproduction and the climatic events, along with human responses to this, may have impaired the conclusion of life cycle from many species.
Significación afectiva de los objetos frente a las pérdidas: Rituales de despedida alternativos en un contexto de confinamiento
Authors: Bedolla Pereda Deyanira
Published: November 2022

Este texto busca señalar una vía posible para fomentar bienestar en las personas que han sufrido la pérdida de un ser querido en un contexto de confinamiento debido a la actual pandemia ocasionada por el nuevo coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). A partir de la identificación, análisis y reflexión de la significación y relevancia afectiva de los objetos frente a las pérdidas de un ser querido, el texto analiza principalmente el proceso de duelo ya que permite identificar un papel afectivo relevante que muchas veces los objetos desempeñan para las personas durante dicha etapa, con base en la significación afectiva que los individuos depositamos en ellos. Dicha significación afectiva de los objetos, en un contexto de confinamiento, puede ser de gran valía como medio para que las personas puedan empezar a transitar a un estado de bienestar emocional. A partir de la identificación y estudio anterior, el texto reflexiona sobre la capacidad de dicha significación humana dada a los objetos para concebir y llevar a cabo actividades que, por su significación y simbolismo basado en los objetos, puedan representar rituales de despedida alternativos para las personas en un contexto de confinamiento, y a través de ellos apoyar su tránsito hacia un equilibrio emocional. El rol que la disciplina del diseño tiene en el contexto del análisis que aquí se realiza, responde a un enfoque contemporáneo del diseño, que considera a los usuarios potenciales, sujetos activos capaces de concebir sus propios rituales de despedida en confinamiento a partir de la significación afectiva que las personas depositamos en los objetos, y paralelamente considera al diseñador un propiciador y estimulador de condiciones para que lo anterior sea posible.

¿Cómo podríamos superar la crisis emocional generalizada derivada de la pandemia? Especulando desde el diseño emocional
Authors: Garduño García Claudia
Published: November 2022

Este artículo ha sido escrito con base en información recabada entre diciembre de 2021 y febrero de 2022; es decir, aunque habían pasado dos años desde el descubrimiento del virus SARS-CoV-2, ni la crisis ni la incertidumbre habían sido superadas. A nivel mundial, a lo largo de este tiempo, las medidas de aislamiento social han variado en rigidez de acuerdo con medidas sanitarias, económicas, sociales y políticas de cada país. Todavía no se cuenta con mediciones precisas, pero se prevén afectaciones en casi cada ámbito de la vida humana, incluyendo la salud emocional. En este artículo se esbozan potenciales aportaciones del diseño emocional (DE) para la superación de la crisis emocional generalizada. Para ello, se revisan, primero, los hitos que anteceden y suceden al DE y; segundo, estudios sobre las afectaciones a la salud emocional provocadas por el aislamiento social. Además, se describen algunas respuestas desde el DE que emergieron durante la pandemia, algunas desde el diseño no profesional y otras desde el profesional, incluyendo colaboraciones transdisciplinarias. Se concluye con una reflexión de corte especulativo en la cual se explora el potencial del DE para desarrollar e implementar métodos creativos de investigación dentro de colaboraciones transdisciplinarias orientadas a la superación de la crisis emocional generalizada.

Authors: Li Xiaodong , Li Xinyue , Li Baoxin , Wang Xiangdong , Admin
Published: November 2022

Risk factors that contribute to the development of heart failure include chronic kidney disease and diabetes. Elderly patients with diabetic nephropathy are more likely to develop heart failure. We analysed laboratory data and clinical characteristics of elderly patients with diabetic nephropathy to explore the risk factors for therapeutic effect of acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). One hundred and five elderly patients with diabetic nephropathy, admitted in the Nephrology Ward of Baoding No1 Central Hospital Baoding, China, between June 2018 and June 2020, were enrolled in this study. They were classified as biochemically unaltered group (21 cases) and biochemically recovering group (84 cases). The clinical data, laboratory examination, therapy, and outcome of the participants were collected for analysis retrospectively. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), C-reactive protein (CRP) and 24-hour urine protein are independent risk factors for the therapeutic efficacy of ADHF in elderly patients with diabetic nephropathy.

The correlation of vitamin D with HOMA-IR and glycated hemoglobin in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients
Authors: Narayanan Sujesh , Gopikuttan Renjith
Published: November 2022

Background and objective: Diabetes mellitus, the most common endocrine condition, is characterised by an elevated level of plasma glucose. Vitamin D's primary functions are homeostasis of calcium and metabolism of bone, but it also has a significant role in homeostasis of plasma glucose. This study sought to examine the relationship between vitamin D and glycated haemoglobin and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) subjects by analysing vitamin D, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels. Methods: 150 patients with newly diagnosed T2DM participated in this case-control research. Additionally, 150 controls of the same age and gender were also recruited. Serum vitamin D and fasting insulin levels were estimated by the electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) method. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to analyse HbA1c. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationship of vitamin D with HbA1c and HOMA-IR. Results: Around 70.7% of diabetes subjects had low vitamin D levels, compared to 31.3% in the control group. Vitamin D-deficient T2DM subjects had significantly higher HOMA-IR and HbA1c levels. Both vitamin D and HOMA-IR (r = -0.75) and vitamin D and HbA1c (r = -0.73) showed a strong inverse connection in T2DM patients. Conclusions: Vitamin D deficiency is correlated with ineffective glycemic control, and the reason might be its potential role in the secretion and sensitivity of insulin. Therefore, vitamin D screening must be incorporated as a routine check-up for T2DM patients.

Faktor penting pemeliharaan ikan pada akuarium adalah ketepatan waktu pemberian pakan ikan, dan memonitori keadaan akuarium. Salah satu hal yang terpenting dalam pemeliharaan ikan adalah pemberian makanan bagi ikan tersebut, bagi pemilik ikan terkadang kesehariannya disibukan dengan kegiatan-kegiatan lain yang padat. Keadaan ini menyebabkan proses pemberian makanan kepada ikan menjadi terlantar dan tidak sesuai dengan jadwal dan porsinya.Sayangnya pada saat ini sistem pemberian pakan ikan umumnya masih sangat bergantung pada sumber daya manusia untuk pemberian yang sifatnya masih manual. Pemberi pakan secara sederhana dengan tangan menyebar pakan ikan langsung ke dalam akuarium atau kolam. Untuk permasalahan tersebut maka penulis mengembangkan suatu alat sederhana dalam bentuk prototipe monitoring danpemberi makan ikan pada akuarium berbasis raspberry pi yang dihubungkan dengan motor servo yang berfungsi sebagai sistem penggerak buka tutup wadah makanan ikan dan relay sebagai pengontrolan lampu atau pencahayaan pada akuarium.. Sistem ini dilengkapi dengan sistem pengontrol melalui webcamera yang berfungsi untuk pengontrolan keadaan didalam akuarium, dan ditampilkan melalui web server.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: When aberrant cells proliferate uncontrolled, cross their normal borders to infiltrate other body parts and/or move to other organs, the result is cancer, a broad category of disorders that may begin in almost any function or muscle. The latter phase, known as metastasizing, is a significant contributor to cancer-related mortality. Other synonyms for cancer include neoplasm and malignant tumour. Approximately 9.6 million fatalities, or one in every six deaths, were attributed to cancer in 2018, making it the second largest cause of death worldwide. Methodology: In the present study Descriptive Survey research design was used. Data collected on 500 samples. Tool was constructed to identify the demographic variables, and a set of self-structured questionnaires on knowledge regarding warning signs of cancer in home- maker women. Result: The main results about the degree of awareness of cancer warning signals among Home-Maker women are that 497 (99.4%) of the women have average knowledge, 3 (0.6%) have poor knowledge, and 0 (0%), have high knowledge. The mean awareness of cancer warning signals amongst Home-Maker women is 9.37, with a standard deviation of 0.74. Conclusion: The research was carried out to see how well Home-Maker women in certain parts of Pune city were informed about cancer warning indicators. The analysis was conducted to evaluate Home-Maker women’s awareness of cancer warning indicators. It demonstrates the average knowledge score of most married women. The level of understanding and their demographics did not significantly correlate with one another. Recommendation: A similar study can be done on urban population.

Authors: A. O. Lusiola , K. F. Matanga , R. Simiyu
Published: November 2022

By the end of 2019, the UNHCR estimated that 42.5 million people had been displaced around the world. As a result, short- and long-term effects were felt in host communities, from humanitarian disasters to security threats. This study conceptualizes that the refugee issue and human security are inextricably linked. The statement of the problem was to bridge the knowledge gap by assessing the influence of the protracted refugee crisis on human security. Therefore, the goal of this research was to assess the nature and scope of the protracted refugee crisis in Kenya with specific reference to Garissa County. The New Security Paradigm and Critical Theory guided this research. A descriptive survey research design was used with a study sample comprising 339 household heads including refugees’ and community household heads, UN Refugee Agency staff, NGO officials, and County and National Government officials. Primary data was collected using structured questionnaires and interview schedules. Secondary data was gathered from textbooks, newspapers, periodicals, and articles. Quantitative data was coded and put into SPSS Version 21.0, and descriptive and inferential statistics such as Pearson Correlation, Spearman Rank Correlation, and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze it. Qualitative data was analyzed based on the content matter of the responses. The study found that a variety of factors contributed to the long-running refugee issue. Civil conflict, lawlessness, high crime rates, and the search for greener pastures are among them. A positive and statistically significant link existed between prolonged refugee crises and refugee crises (r=0.885, p0.01). The study concludes that the main reasons for the refugee crisis in Kenya are push factors from their home countries, such as civil war, lawlessness, and high crime rates. The study recommends a need for measures aimed at reining in on the protracted refugee crisis and also enhancement of human security which can be achieved via funding to deal with deplorable living conditions in refugee camps.

This article examines the colour symbolism of space (the four cardinal directions) in the Turkic languages. The ancient Turks used colourative vocabulary to refer to the four cardinal directions. In studies on Turkology, it is claimed that each ‘corner’ has its colour. In this article, the authors set the task to determine the colour symbolism of the ‘kindik-centre.’ The article uses a mytholinguistic reading of the sign ‘circle with the point inside.’ This sign in modern Kazakh mythology is used in the reconstruction of images and to explain the symbolic meaning of words. The main research material is the colourative vocabulary of the Turkic languages. In the traditions and cultures of different peoples, along with the four sides of the world, there is a concept of a centre that unites these sides. In some peoples, the centre is symbolised by colour, while in the Turkic peoples, this symbolism is absent. However, as a result of the analysis of linguistic, ethnographic and mythological data, the authors concluded that the colour of the centre of qoŋur is brown.

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have recently gained great attention. However, the biggest challenge to the success of MOOCs is their low completion rate. During the lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic, MOOCs were in high demand by many higher education institutions to replace their face-to-face lessons. MOOCs have great potential to grow and reinvent the way of learning in the 21st century. This study uses the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) effectiveness model to understand how the five key factors (learner, instructor, course, technology system, and interactivity) influence student learning satisfaction from a holistic approach and determine the best predictor of student learning satisfaction in the MOOC learning environment. A set of online data based on a 5-point Likert scale was collected from 333 undergraduate students from the top five public universities in Malaysia whose students are actively using MOOCs in their learning. The Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) technique was used to analyse the data. The empirical results revealed that all factors significantly influence student learning satisfaction positively. Learner and interactivity factors were the strongest predictors in determining student learning satisfaction in MOOCs. These findings provide an empirically justified framework for developing successful online courses such as MOOCs in higher education.

Mud contains little organic matter but has the potential for microbial electricigens (electrogenic) (4.5 - 6.6 mV) this is because the mud comes from bursts from below the earth's surface containing magma and hydrothermal fluids. Therefore, this study aims to learn the addition of Sidoarjo mud (a source of microbes as a biocatalyst) and molasses into microbial fuel cells technology for external resistance variations in generating bioelectricity. Referring to this goal, variations in molasses (2.5, 5.0 and 10 % w/w) and external resistance (1, 10, 100, 1,000 and 5,100 kΩ) were carried out. The stages in this study include starter preparation by assembling MFCs using carbon electrodes connected to electronic devices. Furthermore, the mixture of mud and molasses was put into the MFCs by immersing the anode while the cathode was on top of the mud. After that, measuring the electricity potential (voltage and power density) on various external resistances and molasses. The optimum results for the electric voltage and the best power density were obtained when using an external resistance of 1 kΩ and adding 2.5 % molasses with, respectively 210.25 mV/m2 and 38.91 mW/m2 (electric current 51.75 mA/m2). Based on the results of the SEM-EDX analysis for carbon electrodes, it was found that there was a change in composition from before the process to 9 weeks of running time, where the previous carbon content was 97.27 to 0.67 %. In addition, there were other contents such as sulfur, silica, ferrum, phosphorus and other elements caused by bacterial metabolism in biochemical degradation of organic components.
HIGHLIGHTS

Utilization of Sidoarjo mud is as a source of microbes (biocatalyst) in microbial fuel cells to produce bioelectricity
The organic material used as a substrate comes from Sidoarjo mud and sugar factory waste in the form of molasses
The addition of external resistance to microbial fuel cell technology has the potential to increase the number of microbes in the system during the process

Structural, Electrical and Optical Properties of Mg-Ni Thin Films for Hydrogen Storage Applications
Authors: Jangid Mahesh Kumar , Jangid Satish Kumar
Published: November 2022

Using the magnetron sputtering technique, Mg-Ni (150nm) bilayer thin films were deposited onto the simple, and ITO coated glass substrates. To obtain proper mixing and inter diffusion of thin film structure, annealing of the prepared thin films was made at constant temperature 523 K. The surface morphology of thin films confirms the uniform deposition of the Mg-Ni thin films on substrates. The Raman spectroscopy of thin films shows that the intensity of Raman peaks is decreased as the hydrogen pressure increases and variation in the intensity peak confirms the existence of hydrogen in the prepared film. The d.c. conductivity of thin films were observed at different hydrogen pressure (10 - 40 psi) for both the as-deposited and annealed thin films and the variation in the conductivity after hydrogenation was found out. In Uv-Vis spectroscopy, it was found that the optical bandgap of thin films increases with the increase of hydrogen pressure. The deviations in the structural, electrical and optical properties after hydrogenation indicate that Mg-Ni thin films may be used for solid state hydrogen storage applications.

Preparation of Mg-Ni bilayer thin films using magnetron sputtering technique
Finding the opportunity to use Mg-Ni bilayer thin film as solid-state hydrogen storage materials
Raman spectroscopy for confirming the presence of hydrogen in Mg-Ni bilayer thin films
Effect of hydrogen on conductivity and optical energy bandgap of Mg-Ni bilayer thin films

ESTRUTURAS DE GOVERNANÇA NO SISTEMA AGROINDUSTRIAL LÁCTEO DO PARANÁ
Authors: Mirales Elisa , De Souza José Paulo
Published: November 2022

O estudo se sustentou nas teorias da Economia dos Custos de Transação (ECT) e Economia dos Custos de Mensuração (ECM). O objetivo do trabalho consistiu em compreender a relação de compra e venda entre três produtores e um processador lácteo localizados na região Norte e Noroeste do Paraná, a partir da consideração dos atributos de transação, dimensões do ativo e do processo de mensuração na produção láctea. A pesquisa se caracterizou como qualitativa, classificada como um estudo de caso sobre a organização da atividade láctea dos agentes em questão em termos de estrutura de governança. Como resultado, identificou-se que a estrutura de governança adotada pelos agentes envolvidos na transação (contrato verbal) não é, de acordo com a ECT, a mais adequada para a relação em função da presença de ativos específicos. Porém, ao se levar em consideração a ECM, a mesma se torna viável, devido ao sistemático processo de mensuração existente.
