Youth gangs in a remote Indigenous community: Importance of cultural authority and family support
Authors: Cunningham Teresa , Ivory Bill , Chenall Richard , McMahon Rachael , Senior Kate
Published: February 2024

Wadeye is one of the largest Indigenous communities in the Northern Territory. Over the past decade, the community has attracted much negative media attention because of the amount of violence that has occurred. This violence has often been portrayed as the result of gang activity. This paper examines how gangs operate in the Wadeye community and provides some insight into the perceptions of gang members on their relationships with community authority structures and family support mechanisms. The researchers found that the criminal aspects of gang membership may be less important than factors such as identity construction, experiments with leadership and preservation of knowledge about culture and history.
Experiences of trafficked persons: An Indonesian sample
Authors: Joudo Larsen Jacqueline , Andrevski Hannah , Lyneham Samantha
Published: February 2024

The true extent of people trafficking is difficult to gauge, in part because of low levels of reporting and identification of trafficked persons, the clandestine nature of the crime, and a lack of reliable data and systematic data collections, The data collected by the International Organization for Migration in its Counter Trafficking Module Database is unique in the breadth and depth of information collected regarding the experiences of trafficked persons. The IOM Indonesia CTM database holds information relating to 3,701 trafficked Indonesians between January 2005 and January 2010. In this paper, the experiences of this group of trafficked persons is compared and contrasted against the existing literature in order to strengthen knowledge about the nature of people trafficking in the southeast Asian region.
Profiling heavy vehicle speeding
Authors: Willis Katie , Gangell Simone
Published: February 2024

The Australian heavy vehicle industry is critical to the movement of people, freight, livestock and other goods. However, every year there are deaths and serious injuries on Australian roads, some of which are caused by speeding heavy vehicles. Speed management is an important part of Australian road safety and includes the implementation of appropriate policies, regulations and legislation, as well as speed-related enforcement and compliance responses. It also includes speed limiter and intelligent assist technologies, driver education programs, and road maintenance and other road infrastructure work. This paper outlines findings from a study that examined the circumstances surrounding heavy vehicle speeding in New South Wales in an eight year period between 2003 and 2011. Based on the evidence, a number of suggestions are made about how heavy vehicle speed management could be further enhanced in New South Wales and in other Australian jurisdictions.
#FandomsPeloVoto (#FandomsfortheVote): Fan Activism for Youth Voter Engagement in the 2022 Brazilian Elections
Authors: Borges Gabriela , Sigiliano Daiana , Lima Cecília Almeida Rodrigues
Published: February 2024

This article aims to analyze the media literacy skills at work in the content shared by fans on Twitter during the #FandomsPeloVoto (#Fandomsforthe- Vote) campaign. In a convergence culture environment, media literacy comprises five skills: curation, creation, critical understanding, participation, and collaboration. Launched in May 2022, the campaign—carried out in partnership with Mídia Ninja, the National Student Union (União Nacional dos Estudantes, UNE), and the Brazilian Union of Secondary School Students (União Brasileira dos Estudantes Secundaristas, UBES)—brought together more than 100 pop culture fandoms in Brazil to mobilize 16- to 18-year-olds to obtain a voter registration card and be eligible to vote in the 2022 elections. It can be concluded that the activism of fandoms goes beyond transposing fan culture practices into the realm of political participation, also encompassing the critical interpretation of the sociopolitical issues that were part of the action and the creative production of posts on Twitter. Accordingly, #FandomsPeloVoto has aspects of political resistance, as one of its primary objectives is the removal of President Jair Bolsonaro, leader of the far right in Brazil, from power.
Unveiling the Significance: Pattern Practice in Language Learning
Authors: Mustafa Abbas Eltahir
Published: February 2024

This theoretical article sheds light on an aspect of traditional language teaching that is still used in foreign language teaching classrooms and commonly called drills. These repetitive drills are designed to practice specific language elements, such as grammar structures. The current paper tries to test the assumption that the practice of mechanical drills helps students of English reinforce the learning of the target language through practice. Thus, the paper mainly evaluates the role of “mechanical practice,” or “pattern practice” in improving the learning of the target language with a particular emphasis on the learning advantages of a type of mechanical practice called repetition drills. Tracing recent research on drills, the researcher concludes that if used appropriately and in some pedagogical situations contextualized, the practice of these drills can be effective for language learning and should be included as a key part of the instructional practice.

CBDC and the operational framework of monetary policy
Authors: Abad Jorge , Nuño Galo , Thomas Carlos
Published: February 2024

We analyse the impact of introducing a central bank-issued digital currency (CBDC) on the operational framework of monetary policy and the macroeconomy as a whole. To this end, we develop a New Keynesian model with heterogeneous banks, a frictional interbank market, a central bank with deposit and lending facilities, and household preferences for different liquid assets. The model is calibrated to replicate the main monetary and financial aggregates in the euro area. Our analysis predicts that CBDC adoption implies a roughly equivalent reduction in banks’ deposit funding. However, this ‘deposit crunch’ has a rather small effect on bank lending to the real economy, and hence on aggregate investment and GDP. This result reflects the parallel impact of a CBDC on a central bank’s operational framework. For relatively moderate CBDC adoption levels, the reduction in deposits is absorbed by an almost one-to-one fall in reserves at the central bank, implying a transition from a ‘floor’ system – with ample reserves – to a ‘corridor’ system. For larger CBDC adoption, the loss of bank deposits is compensated by increased recourse to central bank credit, as the corridor system gives way to a ‘ceiling’ system with scarce reserves.
Broken Laws, Broken Lives: When Organized Crime Shreds Human Rights
Authors: Aftab Haider  , Ashraf Ali  , Bushra Zeb
Published: February 2024

History is marked by its coiling snake, organized crime that continues to entwine itself around human rights choking out dignity and justice. This paper reveals the hard truth of this destructive bond, from its historical origins to its modern incarnations. Powered by poverty, poor governance and digital frontiers the criminal network uses human weaknesses as pawns in their illicit games. The fundamental rights of individuals and communities is eroded by trafficking, extortion, violence, and corruption which are their currency. Women, children and minority groups are often the victims who get trapped in forced labor, exploitation and displacement. Case studies depict a rather gloomy picture of this complex threat. The porous borders of Southeast Asia take up human trafficking, while the drugs in Latin America become a stream of violence and corruption that breaks communities and trample dignity. Not even the digital world is immune, where cybercrime and identity theft take away privacy and liberty. As the roots of this crisis are woven into a complex network of socio-economic disparities, lax legal frameworks and corrupt structures. Their effects are far-reaching, reaching deep into the society Fighting back demands a broad attack. The first steps should be strengthening the legal framework, empowering law enforcement, and addressing underlying injustices. International cooperation and creating a culture of transparency and accountability are important weapons in this war. It requires constant vigilance, relentless quest for justice and strong communities that are resilient in the face of organized crime. Only then can we escape the darkness and enter into true human rights.
Nevo sebáceo en la pubertad: serie de casos y revisión de la literatura
Authors: Lizardo-Castro Gustavo A. , Zavala-Sierra Martha P.
Published: February 2024

Antecedentes: El nevo sebáceo es un hamartoma, con una combinación de anomalías de la epidermis, folículos pilosos, glándulas sebáceas y apocrinas, de etiología desconocida y con igual incidencia en ambos sexos. Por lo general ocurre desde el nacimiento, localizado principalmente en piel cabelluda y cara, como placa alopécica, amarillo-naranja, de variable tamaño y forma. El aspecto clínico e histopatológico típicamente cambia con la edad, siendo máximo en la pubertad, por la influencia hormonal. En algunos casos se asocia con manifestaciones extracutáneas, como afectación del sistema nervioso central, ojos, sistema esquelético y riñones constituyendo el síndrome del nevo sebáceo. Los tumores secundarios originados sobre el nevo sebáceo son principalmente benignos. La extirpación quirúrgica de espesor total es el tratamiento de elección, pero existe controversia sobre la extirpación profiláctica y, la edad óptima de realizarla. Descripción de serie de casos: se presentan 4 pacientes pediátricos, atendidos en el Hospital Escuela, con lesiones localizadas en piel cabelluda y cara. Tres casos congénitos, manifestados como placa alopécica verrugosa, con rápido crecimiento en la pubertad y desarrollo de verruga vulgar en uno de ellos; el cuarto caso, presentó lesión verrugosa supraciliar derecha a los 14 años. En todos, la histopatología confirmó el diagnóstico. Conclusiones: Usualmente los nevos sebáceos son congénitos y solo presentan afectación cutánea. Su curso es rápido crecimiento en la pubertad, por influencia hormonal, y las neoformaciones sobre el nevo, raramente resultan malignas. Sugerimos la extirpación quirúrgica de los nevos sebáceos, con afectación cosmética y sin manifestaciones extracutáneas, antes de la pubertad.
Síndrome Hepatopulmonar, un diagnóstico olvidado. Informe de caso
Authors: Sosa Ferrari Suyapa , Zaldivar Aparicio Guillermo
Published: February 2024

Antecedentes: El síndrome hepatopulmonar (SHP) se presenta en pacientes con cirrosis hepática con una prevalencia variante según diferentes estudios, posiblemente explicado por un infradiagnóstico, poco descrita principalmente en países en vías de desarrollo. En Honduras no se encuentran estudios publicados en la literatura. Descripción del caso: Paciente femenina de 70 años con enfermedad hepática, hipertensión arterial, enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica y diabetes mellitus tipo 2 la cual se presentó con sintomatología respiratoria crónica e hipoxemia demostrada por gasometría arterial, en la que se evidenció cortocircuito extracardíaco por ecocardiografía de contraste compatible con esta enfermedad. Conclusiones: El diagnóstico del SHP es relativamente sencillo teniendo todas las herramientas, pero en países en vías de desarrollo no se cuentan con estas en la mayor parte de unidades de salud, por lo tanto, dificulta su abordaje. El pronóstico de los pacientes empeora con la presencia de este síndrome y debe de estar dentro de los diagnósticos diferenciales de todo paciente con disnea e hipoxemia en el margen de una enfermedad hepática subyacente.
Birds as potential bioindicators for terrestrial ecosystems
Authors: Karen Aghababyan
Published: February 2024

Considering the lack of ecosystems’ monitoring in Armenia and the urgent necessity of setting up such a system for decision making in nature conservation and natural resource management, the current paper aims at identification of indicator bird species for the key types of ecosystems in the country and crosscutting influence of climate change. In the forests, the study identified the bird species composition, total number of all birds, and 11 species as indicators of degradation, fragmentation, and aridization. In grasslands, the total number of all birds and seven species indicate degradation of the mountain steppes and meadows due to overgrazing and uncontrolled mowing. In arid lands, the change of bird species composition and total number of all birds indicate degradation of semi-deserts, scrublands, and juniper woodlands due to their transformation into orchards, while six species indicate degradation of these habitats due to overgrazing. In rivers and streams, four species indicate fragmentation of the rivers. In wetlands, at least seven species indicate drainage of the wetlands, and at least one indicates wetlands’ pollution. Also, the study identified seven species, which indicate the influence of climate change on birds’ distribution at the Eurasian scale. There is still a need for additional study of the indicators of wetlands and lakes, and influence of climate change. A need for improvement of the policy and institutional framework is important as well.
Doing dementia differently: A range of co-produced resources from the IDEAL programme
Authors: Charlwood Catherine , Clare Linda
Published: February 2024

This article introduces different free resources for people with dementia, carers and professionals working within dementia care. All were produced as part of the IDEAL research programme, drawing on the wealth of evidence created as part of this large cohort longitudinal study. Explaining the background, the creation process and where to find each resource, the article directs readers towards resources readily available for use, as well as information about forthcoming resources.

Four ready-to-use resources are described in detail. The Living with Dementia Toolkit is a comprehensive suite of resources for people with dementia and carers. It also features lots of different people with dementia and carers sharing their stories in their own words. The Toolkit is being widely used in NHS and third-sector settings, as well as by community groups. My Life Questionnaire is a new measure of living well which was co-produced with people living with mild-to-moderate dementia and scientifically validated with the IDEAL cohort. ‘The World Turned Upside Down’ began as a play and became a documentary film which can be used to raise awareness, promote discussion and within educational or continuing professional development settings. ‘The Bridge’ is an opera about the experience of living with dementia through the diagnostic process and how a husband and wife manage following diagnosis. Both artistic productions involved people with lived experience advising the performers on how to portray dementia authentically.
Cymraeg yn y Gweithle? An exploration into the proficiency and development of the Welsh language in psychology, counselling, and arts therapy services
Authors: Jerrett Kelsey , Mizen Lowri
Published: February 2024

The Welsh language has garnered increasing recognition and importance in Welsh healthcare. This study uses a mixed methods design to understand the use and development of the Welsh language within therapeutic services. 113 staff members from the psychology, counselling, and arts therapies service in Aneurin Bevan University Health Board completed a survey, exploring participants’ proficiency and confidence using the Welsh language, and their perspectives of the Welsh language within their respective services. Preliminary findings displayed a range of Welsh language proficiencies, from fluency to non-proficiency. Participants reported a lack of confidence in utilising the language, and resources, in their work. Qualitative findings further explicate the need to encourage development of proficiency by providing time for learning work-related skills and networking with other Welsh speakers. The findings illustrate a need to recognise language diversity and to understand the needs and development of multilingual practice within the therapeutic context.
Notas sobre erotismo, excesso e acumulação bilionária
Authors: Ordonhes Paula de Toledo
Published: February 2024

Partindo da noção de erotismo de Georges Bataille, que traz a desmedida e o excesso como elementos fundamentais, procuraremos refletir sobre os processos de subjetivação dos maiores acumuladores financeiros de nosso tempo, os bilionários. Interrogaremo-nos se a desmedida acumulação que praticam poderia ser expressão de um Eros ruinoso aparentado ao dos personagens criados pelo Marquês de Sade e tematizados por Bataille e outros autores. Investigaremos características presentes nos protagonistas das ficções sadianas, como a apatia, o gosto pela enumeração e a linguagem demonstrativa, cotejando-as às práticas corporativas neoliberais com o intuito de verificar possíveis aproximações. Analisaremos ainda se os pré-requisitos para a consecução dos deboches sadianos, como o enclausuramento e a aliança entre iguais, podem ser também pensados como condições para a acumulação financeira levada ao paroxismo por bilionários.

A (in) visibilidade da educação em direitos humanos: a quem interessa?
Authors: E Mello Anair Silva Lins , De Lima Cledson Severino , De Sá Evanilson Alves , De Moura Vera Lúcia Braga
Published: February 2024

As Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para a Educação em Direitos Humanos (DCNDEH – 2012) orientam os Sistemas de Ensino na elaboração de currículos em diferentes perspectivas. A Secretaria de Educação e Esportes de Pernambuco (SEE/PE) integrou a Educação em Direitos Humanos (EDH) aos Temas Transversais e Integradores do Currículo de Pernambuco – 2019/2021, destacando a educação como direito humano (DH). Com a intenção de implementar a EDH, a SEE/PE instituiu a Gerência de Políticas Educacionais em Direitos Humanos e Cidadania (GEDH) em 2008. O estudo objetiva analisar as dificuldades apresentadas por um grupo de profissionais vinculados a SEE/PE nas suas percepções acerca da EDH. Para a coleta de dados, foi utilizada uma entrevista estruturada, com um roteiro de questões por meio do Google Forms, objetivando verificar qual a percepção desses profissionais vinculados à Rede Estadual de Ensino sobre como se desenvolve a formação continuada e se no conjunto dessas formações receberam formação em Direitos Humanos. O roteiro foi enviado previamente, tendo-se como entrevistadores vários profissionais da equipe pedagógica da SEE/PE. Os dados da entrevista aplicada em diferentes territórios revelaram distanciamentos na compreensão dos professores entrevistados sobre o que de fato é a EDH. Essa questão merece uma problematização diante da fonte utilizada para a coleta desses dados, pois a entrevista não teve como eixo central uma abordagem específica sobre EDH, embora trouxesse questões acerca da EDH. Os resultados trazem provocações que nos levam a refletir acerca do entendimento desses profissionais sobre as concepções e conteúdo da EDH; e também a ausência de profissionais da educação em direitos humanos nas formações. Conclui-se pela necessidade de estudos sobre a prática pedagógica para a Educação em Direitos Humanos, com objetivo de melhor explicitar como se desenvolve a implementação das DCNEDH, na perspectiva de ressignificar a escola como um espaço de afirmação e vivências de direitos.
COMPARISON OF LAPAROSCOPIC AND OPEN APPENDECTOMY IN TERMS OF SURGICAL SITE INFECTION
Authors: ULLAH R , SHAH M , BABAR Y , KHAN A
Published: February 2024

Appendectomy is a common surgical procedure, and the choice between laparoscopic and open approaches has clinical significance. Surgical site infection (SSI) is a critical postoperative complication. This study aimed to compare laparoscopic and open appendectomy in terms of SSI rates. A prospective observational study was conducted at multiple centers including Department of General Surgery, MRHSM Hospital Pabbi Nowshera, Jinnah Teaching Hospital Peshawar and Cat C Hospital Tangi Charsadda, DHQ Hospital Daggar Buner, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan in the duration from July, 2023 to December, 2023. The research is involving 320 patients aged 14 to 64 years. Data included demographic information, surgical approach, operative time, hospital stay, and SSI severity using the Southampton grading system. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS. Laparoscopic (Group A, n=110) and open (Group B, n=210) appendectomies were compared. Group A had a shorter hospital stay (p < 0.05) and similar operative times. SSI rates favored laparoscopic surgery (p < 0.05), with fewer patients developing infections within 10 days post-surgery. Laparoscopic appendectomy demonstrated reduced SSI risk and improved postoperative outcomes. Laparoscopic appendectomy is associated with lower SSI rates, shorter hospital stays, and comparable operative times compared to open appendectomy. These findings support the preference for laparoscopic surgery, especially in low-risk patients, to enhance postoperative outcomes.
Argumentation Strategies in Courtroom Discourse
Authors: Alkabiri Mohammed Ali
Published: February 2024

This paper tries to explore the different argumentation strategies in courtroom discourse. The paper aims to decode the various argumentative strategies that are employed to communicate a successful interaction between the interlocutors in courtrooms. This is done by highlighting the linguistic tools targeting the persuasion of the conversationalists in the legal discourse presented in courts. The paper will focus on five strategies of argumentation, including lexical choices, questioning and answering, oppositional arguments, rhetorical questions, and premeditated arguments. The core concern of the investigation of these argumentation strategies is to show the degree to which they are used by courtroom interlocutors to communicate a successful and persuasive argument to their recipients. Data used in this study are derived from two legal trials: Nelson Mandela’s trial and Bill Clinton’s trial. The research questions of this paper are: first, what is meant by argumentation in courtroom discourse? Second, what are the different argumentation strategies used in courtroom discourse? Third, to what extent are argumentation strategies employed to achieve a persuasive argument between interlocutors in courtrooms? There are three main findings in this paper: First, attorneys and litigants use various argumentation strategies to influence their recipients so as to be able to persuade the court of their arguments. Second, the power of persuasiveness is entirely based on the ability to use various strategies of argumentation. Third, language is a crucial element in the understanding of legal arguments in courtrooms.
Questioning Strategies in Courtrooms
Authors: Aldosari Bader Nasser
Published: February 2024

This paper attempts to explore the different strategies of questioning in courtroom discourse, by highlighting the various discursive structures employed to form a question between courtroom interlocutors. More specifically, this research looks at the techniques employed in courtroom cross-examination to persuade the judge(s) to accept attorneys' accounts of what happened as well as the effectiveness of responses in fending off the influence and power of barristers. The corpus of this study is taken from 3 testimonies of prosecution witnesses in the trial of Timothy McVeigh concerning the Oklahoma City Bombing in 1997. By employing both quantitative and qualitative methods, the study investigates six questioning patterns, including wh-questions, yes-no questions, tag questions, so-questions, say-questions, and declarative questions. The study reveals that some types of questions used in courtrooms are strategically utilized to persuade juries and judges, confirm a piece of information, clarify an argument, threatening witnesses’ face, manipulate and/or coerce interlocutors within courtrooms. The paper also reveals that questioning is not only used to instigate an answer or a response but also to communicate information and draw conclusions.
Fostering Vocabulary Memorization: Exploring the Impact of AI-Generated Mnemonic Keywords on Vocabulary Learning Through Anki Flashcards
Authors: Agnes Diana , Srinivasan R
Published: February 2024

This study delves into the integration of AI-generated mnemonic assistance in Anki flashcards, aiming to enhance vocabulary acquisition for intermediate-level English language learners who often grapple with vocabulary challenges. The research involved a sample of 60 students, split into two groups: the Mnemonic group, which used Anki flashcards with AI-generated mnemonics, and the Non-Mnemonic group, which relied on Anki flashcards without mnemonics. The findings revealed that both groups exhibited statistically significant vocabulary retention improvements after undergoing four repetition sessions. Significantly, the Mnemonic group displayed a more pronounced enhancement, underscoring the effectiveness of AI-generated mnemonic support. This research amalgamates insights from cognitive psychology, spaced repetition techniques, and AI-driven personalization to offer a comprehensive and adaptive approach to vocabulary acquisition. Its implications extend to educators, learners, and the ongoing evolution of language instruction, as it highlights the potential for AI to play a pivotal role in addressing the persistent challenges associated with vocabulary acquisition, especially among intermediate-level English language learners.
A Multidimensional Analysis of Academic Writing: A Comparative Study of Saudi and British University Students’ Writing
Authors: Ali Sadia
Published: February 2024

Academic writing is one of the most crucial skills for university students across the globe; however, the conventions of writing vary across different cultures. This research study used a multidimensional approach to analyze Saudi students' writings compared to British students. A specialized corpus of Saudi academic English writing (CSAEW) was developed to explore interdisciplinary lexico-grammatical patterns. The data was collected from the undergraduate students enrolled in the universities from three regions across the Kingdom. The CSAEW was compared with the British Academic Writing English corpus. Biber's multidimensional model was used to examine linguistic features along dimensions such as involvement, information, argumentation, narration, and abstraction. The study provides evidence about how Saudi students prefer particular lexical and grammatical patterns over others and how Saudi academic writing is distinguished compared to British academic English. The study results indicate that CSAEW is more explicit and non-narrative than BCAW. There are marked differences on dimensions 1, 4, and 5. The mean scores of CSAEW and BCAW fall on the opposite side of the continuum. The findings document the patterns of linguistic variation in Saudi students' academic writing compared to that of British students. Based on the pattern of variation, the study provides some recommendations for pedagogical practices to improve Saudi students’ writing skills.

Published: February 2024

This study investigates the perceptions of remote interpreters regarding the impact of the transfer of interpreting mode from on-site mode to online mode. The study utilized an online survey and disseminated it online via online platforms, targeting interpreters in Middle Eastern countries. The survey collected information about the primary mode of remote interpreting practice, the frequency of interpreting services during COVID-19, the leading interpreting platforms, and major remote interpreting clients. It also gathered information about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on interpreting services, the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic on interpreting services, and recommendations for the future of remote interpreting during global crises and emergencies. The study found that most interpreting services are via Zoom, Telephone, and Kudo. Moreover, the major clients for remote interpreting were healthcare providers and international organizations. On the other hand, the study revealed that the main impacts of COVID-19 on interpreting were the transition to remote interpreting services, cancellations and postpones of interpreting events, economic impact (a decline in income), security, data privacy, and confidentiality. Moreover, the main challenges were technological limitations, lack of non-verbal communication, and physical and mental health. The study recommends that it is imperative to develop resilient systems that efficiently integrate remote interpreting into crisis response strategies.

Authors: Sánchez-Cabrero Roberto , Sandoval-Mena Marta , Saez-Suanes Gema Pilar , López-de-Arana Prado Elena
Published: February 2024

This study aims to validate the Classroom Climate for an Inclusive Education Questionnaire (CCIEQ) to assess the quality of the conditions for inclusive teaching performance through three different procedures. Firstly, the study aims to evaluate the questionnaire’s content validity, culminating in the selection of nine theoretically dimensions validated quantitatively by means of an adequate Minimum Discrepancy of the Chi-square Value Divided by Degree of Freedom Index (CMIN/DF). Secondly, it seeks to assess the construct validity of the questionnaire with a Robust Exploratory Factor Analysis Technique and Hull Method to evaluate internal consistency for a final configuration of a single factor to obtain a single final score. Thirdly, the study aims to evaluate the questionnaire’s convergent validity, showing the existing correlations with other instruments previously validated for the same purpose (CEFI-R, UDL-checklist Test) using a common participant sample. To achieve these objectives, a sample of 153 in service teachers was used, recruited for the study sample from four different countries (Spain, Turkey, Latvia and Poland) through cluster sampling. The results show excellent psychometric properties and convergent validity of the CCIEQ, so its use as a scientific tool for samples of European in-service teachers is validated.
Revealing the Fear of Negative Evaluation: Exploring Its Impact on Self-Esteem through Emotional Loneliness and Avoidance among Adolescent
Authors: Mansoor Khulood Mohammed Al
Published: February 2024

Adolescence is a crucial developmental stage characterized by complicated psychological challenges, including the Fear of Negative Evaluation (FNE), which can considerably influence Self-Esteem (SE). This research explored FNE’s psychological effects on adolescents’ SE by utilizing the cross-sectional quantitative approach. It attempted to discover how Emotional Loneliness (EL) and Social Avoidance (SA) mediate FNE and SE relationships. Understanding SE elements is crucial for mental health throughout adolescence. FNE is common in adolescents and associated with psychosocial difficulties. The study showed EL and SA’s significant role in mediating the relationship between FNE and SE. The mediation role of the EL and SA are determined through the Sobel test. In both case the value of z-score is greater than its benchmark (1.96) which proves that EL and SA significantly mediate the relationship of FNE, and SE. The research also highlighted some limitations, which include the utilization of cross-sectional methods and the focus on specific cultural settings. The result of this study would help the academics to control the FNE among students and enhance their SE.

Предметом исследования в данной работе является процее  использования сельскохозяйственной продукции в порошковом виде  путем ее сушки с помощью солнечной энергии с учетом потери продуктивности некоторых видов сельскохозяйственной продукции в условиях Кыргызстана. Целью данной работы является изучение результатов исследования влияния характера движения теплоаккумулирующего устройства на скорость сушки изделий. В результате экспериментального метода изучено влияние одноходового и двухходового движения холодильника в сушильной камере на скорость сушки изделий. Следует отметить, что при наблюдаемых скоростях охлаждающей воды в устройствах типа «горячий ящик», в том числе в радиационно-конвективных солнечных осушителях, реализуется ламинарный режим течения с естественным движением теплоносителя (0,1-0,4 м/с). с). Приведены результаты сушки томатов и моркови, редьки и тыквы в сушильной камере с односторонним и двусторонним движением теплоаккумулирующего устройства. По результатам исследований можно сделать следующие выводы: необходимо не только обеспечить высокие показатели испарения влаги из сельскохозяйственной продукции, но и обеспечить быстрое и своевременное удаление влаги из сушильной камеры. В противном случае уменьшится потенциал испарения, который выражается как разность парциальных давлений водяных паров на поверхности изделия и в окружающей среде (в данном случае - объеме сушильной камеры). Своеобразие и научная ценность полученных в ходе исследования результатов определялась зависимостью закономерностей процесса сушки жидко-вязких сельскохозяйственных продуктов от вида и физических характеристик продуктов, солнечной радиации, и окружающей  среды. Практическая  значимость разработанных солнечных сушильных устройств заключается в том, что они позволяют высушивать сельскохозяйственную продукцию в жидко-вязком состоянии до более низкой влажности и получать из продуктов порошок. Внедрение полученных результатов исследований в производство в дальнейшем поможет создать новые рабочие места и оживить экономику регионов.

Published: February 2024

We obtain a parabolicity criterion related to a modified Cheng--Yau's operator, and we apply it to prove that a complete linear Weingarten submanifold, immersed with parallel normalized mean curvature vector in a Riemannian space form $\mathbb{Q}_c^{n+p}$ of constant sectional curvature $c\in\{-1,0,1\}$ must be either totally umbilical or isometric to a hyperbolic cylinder, when $c=-1$, a circular cylinder, when $c=0$, and a Clifford torus, when $c=1$.

Authors: Gonzalez Rodriguez Ramon
Published: February 2024

In this paper, we introduce the notion of factorization in the Hopf quasigroup setting, and we prove that if $A$ and $H$ are Hopf quasigroups such that their antipodes are isomorphisms, a Hopf quasigroup $X$ admits a factorization as $X=AH$ iff $X$ is isomorphic to a double cross product $A\bowtie H$ as Hopf quasigroups.
On the representation of an exponential type sequence
Authors: Yu Wang-Xing
Published: February 2024

Let $p,q > 1$ be integers with $(p,q)=1$. In 1959, Birch proved that every sufficiently large integer $n$ can be represented as a sum of distinct integers of the form $p^\alpha q^\beta$. In this paper, we shall prove that for any real number $\varepsilon > 0$, there is a positive real number $c=c(p,q,\varepsilon)$ such that every sufficiently large integer $n$ can be represented as a sum of distinct integers of the form $p^\alpha q^\beta$, all of which are greater than $\frac{cn}{(\log n)^{1+\varepsilon}}$.
