This study uses an exploratory qualitative analysis method. Qualitative data was obtained by means of interviews, observations and documentation studies and the validity and reliability of the data were determined by data triangulation, then the data obtained would be analyzed thematically and interpreted to draw conclusions. The results showed that the processing of the IMB issuance experienced a delay in the processing of files by the IMB technical team so that it had implications for the delay in the issuance of the IMB document. Another consequence that occurs is the loss of potential regional income from IMB retribution due to delays. Receivables due to levies occur because the applicant does not pay the IMB SKRD at the bank according to the stipulated time.

Engagement and Work Readiness of College Students
Authors: Magallanes Celo I.
Published: September 2022

Students should actively engage in school, acquire work readiness skills or soft skills needed for employment, and be amply ready for jobs. This descriptive, comparative, correlational, and predictive study aimed to assess the relationships between student engagement and work readiness skills of 565 college students at a private university in the Philippines. The demographic variables include sex, work experience, and college enrolled in. This study used the Student Engagement in School Inventory and the Real-World Work Readiness Scale. As a whole and by college unit, sex, and paid work experience, university students were highly engaged in cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions. Unlike some university students, COED students were more engaged. Sex differences and paid work experience did not affect students' engagements. Soft skills, namely, motivation, maturity, personal development, organizational awareness, technical focus, interpersonal orientation, positive work attitudes, problem solving, adaptability, and resilience made them work-ready. In most areas, students' soft skills were similar. CIT students appeared less adaptable than other students, while CCJE students were more technically focused. Males are better problem-solvers, but females are more motivated and have higher organizational awareness. Those students with paid work experience had higher technical focus and were better problem-solvers because their work experience has enhanced these specific skills necessary in the workplace. Lastly, there is a strong link between engagement and work readiness, which supports the idea that student engagement enhances work readiness.
Albanian songs of frontier warriors and their antiquity
Authors: Berisha Labinot
Published: September 2022

Albanian heroic songs with a range of values and peculiarities, with the thematic and poetic world, as rich as independent and ancient, and with different layers, could not be created immediately and only in one period. It took time and skill for singers and oral conductors to create, spread and carry from one individual to another, from one generation to the next. Albanian heroic songs are not only important for the many linguistic expressive values that the rich thematic and motivational world has, but they also enable the best knowledge of the oral epic of the peoples of Southeast Europe and especially of the epic of the peoples of the Balkans. What justifies the antiquity, but at the same time the great importance of our heroic songs, is the fact that they express the world of the singers who sing them, their worldview and the world they belong to. They express the honor, manliness, faith, virtues, customs and habits that our man has used over the centuries. Dealing with the comparison of Albanian songs of frontier warriors with ancient epics, I have noticed a series of similarities with some ancient epics, especially with the "Iliad" and "Odyssey", which directly testify to their antiquity.

Assessment of digital knowledge and research skills and overview of on going work at the national level, forecasting. Concepts of digitization
Authors: Ismayilov Nadir , Khudiyeva Vazufa
Published: September 2022

Even though it is impossible to determine when proverbs and sayings developed as one of the most common genres of folk literature, its history is closely related to the formation of oral speech and the enrichment of the shades of the meaning of the language. Even though proverbs and sayings turned out to be an integral part of oral speech and were occasionally recorded in epics, fairy tales, and folk stories in classical literature, particularly in large-volume works of written folklore literature, this part of paremiological units was not recorded in a separate collection, and perhaps there was no need for it in the Middle Ages. Because proverbs that are brief in form, deep in meaning, and distinguished for their accurate direction of thought during conversation are simpler, easier to remember, and less likely to be forgotten compared to epics and large-scale folkloric writings. This explains why there are so few collections of proverbs and sayings compared to epics and extensive folklore works of other genres that were recorded in earlier times. In general, today, we consider a written version of any epic, fairy tale, narrative, or other oral folk literature to be a rare literary work if it is discovered in a treasure, a private archive. The scientific community always reacted to such findings with great interest and attention. Therefore, the focus of folklore studies has always been on the sources in which proverbs were recorded.
The growing importance of economic security in the new paradigm. Towards a new definition of economic security
Authors: Golea Daniela Georgiana , Hideg Cătălin Robertino
Published: September 2022

The contemporary world is undergoing profound processes of change, many of them unprecedented in terms of the scale on which they occur and their content or effects. In such a troubled context, the issue of security is becoming more acute by the day. All these changes involving a multidimensional security environment have generally become more acute with the (at least apparent or provisional) end of the Cold War. In that context, the bipolar world disintegrated in a very short space of time, the global security environment was suddenly unsupported and the balance of power was upset. The post-Cold War world needed a new global balance of power, but this was slow to emerge and the state of conflict in the international environment grew more and more tense. Alongside the classic challenges to (inter)national security, new problems have emerged, such as the demographic explosion, the increasingly bleak prospect of a global food crisis, worsening social problems of all kinds, mass migration, the growth of terrorism and new forms of terrorist action (most recently with the possibility of using unconventional weapons from the NBC spectrum), the emergence of global climate change and a whole host of other effects from all these phenomena. Thus, security concerns have become ever greater as traditional security paradigms have collapsed one by one.

Published: September 2022

Human’s involvement with culture is a vital part of his life, but what happens when someone is blind or visually impaired (VI) and how Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) help the access to cultural locations? The difficulties and limitations that blind and visually impaired (BVI) persons face while visiting museums or art exhibitions are of high importance. These limitations concern both the access to the location and the perception of the exhibits. This bibliographic research is divided into four main parts. In the first part of our paper we will analyze the difficulties that these people face as visitors in art exhibitions and how their disabilities affect an autonomous visit. Afterwards, we will refer to the importance of the disability arts when combined with ICTs. In the next part, we will mention the projects that are already applied or those for which efforts have been made globally for their implementation. These will be accompanied by recorded feedback from blind and visually impaired visitors. Finally, we will make a scheduled visit to the Tactual Museum of Athens in order to collect material on practices used in their exhibition and we shall record reactions from visually impaired visitors.

Published: September 2022

The purpose of the current review study is to provide representative evidence regarding the effectiveness of mindfulness training strategies on the development of metacognitive skills for people with special education needs. In addition, we explore the role of virtual reality in the efficacy of mindfulness interventions among people with learning disabilities, neurodevelopmental disorders, intellectual disabilities, and behavioral disorders. In addition, we present innovative mindfulness training strategies, appropriate for metacognitive skills training in special education. Finally, we seek the features that possibly make virtual reality a fertile ground for the implementation of mindfulness training. The results showed that mindfulness training improves the metacognitive skills needed for the inclusion of people with disabilities. Virtual reality constitutes an effective assistive technology that can facilitate mindfulness training in various contexts, accelerating positive outcomes in mental and physical health, academic performance, and well-being.

Published: September 2022

Since the onset of 2019, the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and its associated disease (COVID-19) have had and continue to have a considerable negative impact worldwide on physical and mental health, but also on daily activities. Various precautionary measures have been put in place to prevent the spread of the virus, measures that have significantly affected various areas and activities, including social, professional, educational, family, sports. Therefore, both the negative experience experienced with the advent of the virus and its rapid spread, as well as the limits imposed by the authorities, have determined a series of negative emotions among the entire population. One of the crucial aspects of everyday life is the management of emotions. The concept of coping or emotional regulation involves a series of processes that organize emotions, processes that can change, shape or inhibit a certain emotional state. Improper management of emotions can cause significant discomfort that persists over time and can cause a variety of symptoms (Gross, 2014 apud Cuevas Lopez et al., 2021). In the current pandemic context, in which negative experiences have increased due to infection with the new virus, but also because of the restrictions that have prevented the normal functioning of the entire population, improper management of emotions is not a topic that must be neglected.  This paper starts from the ideas illustrated above and focuses its attention on the students, who have experienced considerable changes during this pandemic period. The main purpose of this paper is to understand the coping strategies adopted by students in the current pandemic context. In order to achieve our goal, in a first stage we will present the main defining aspects of the studied variables, namely emotions and emotional regulation strategies. The study investigates the following 9 coping strategies - self-curing, acceptance, rumination, positive refocusing, positive reassessment, putting into perspective, catastrophizing and blaming others. Another objective that the present research proposes is to highlight the extent to which the coping strategies adopted during the pandemic period differ in the students employed from the unemployed students, respecting the students from the Faculty of Psychology compared to the students from the Faculty of Law. Also, the study aims to bring a novelty to the researches, thus presenting the coping strategies adopted by the students of the Romanian population during this delicate period.
Methods and techniques of professional training of beginner teachers. Comparative analysis
Authors: Rus Mihaela , Sandu Mihaela Luminita , Rosca Geanina , Butoi Angelica
Published: September 2022

The status, merits and importance of a profession in society are given by the level of qualification of the practitioners, but also by the skills and professionalism they demonstrate. In addition to these attributes there must also be motivation, perhaps it is the most important aspect of all those listed. The teaching profession also belongs to the category of professions that successfully fall under this rule. The performance of the educated requires thorough training and motivation from the teachers. That is why in order to have remarkable results in education, we need not only reforms, but also teachers trained from a theoretical point of view, but also from a practical point of view. In the teaching profession an important element is practical, because it highlights situations that are not found in books. Thus, the future teacher observes the problem situations in advance and is documented. Through practice, teachers are motivated to deepen the theoretical notions as well.

Starting from the premise that man is a dichotomous being, with a material body and a spiritual, immortal soul, today's society is looking for answers to perhaps the most important question that refers to salvation, namely: how can we know today's religions, Christian and non-Christian, the authentic meaning of the human soul and implicitly its path in eternity? For such answers, in the context of religious pluralism, interreligious dialogue is imperative, through which Christian and non-Christian religions offer their answers, so that the result can be experienced by society.

A pilot test on how motivation can influence performance in the field of European project writing
Authors: Ionescu Anca-Maria , Stănescu Monica , Aivaz Kamer-Ainur
Published: September 2022

This pilot study analyzes how participants' motivation in a training intervention for public sports organizations influences their performance in European project writing. Our specific assumption is that performance in attracting projects with non-reimbursable funds is higher for people with a higher motivation level. The approach used in this pilot research was the individualization of success cases – organizations that either made project drafts following the European project writing training or submitted and won projects through the Erasmus+ program. The collection of quantitative data was performed using motivation tests (Achievement Motivation Inventory - AMI) that helped us to understand better the evaluated person in terms of their performance orientation and the way their motivation is articulated. There were about 40 participants involved in the training at the beginning, with only about 30 active participants throughout the training period. Eight of the 14 participants who completed the AMI test made project drafts. From the analyzed data, it emerges that people with a developed or strong average motivational index made project drafts or submitted applications within the Erasmus+ program. In contrast, the persons with a lower motivational index did not make a project draft nor submit applications to the Erasmus program. However, due to the small number of AMI tests completed, we cannot generalize this to all course participants. Further research should be done on other factors determining performance in writing European projects.

Video game marketing: players' platform switching, in-game goods purchase, and flow experience
Authors:   , Cai Xiaowei
Published: September 2022

The video game industry is growing fast. Although academic research on video games has also grown, marketing researchers still devote far less attention to this field than other entertainment industries. In this thesis, a conceptual framework is introduced to outline the main actors in the video game environment: video game platform, video game content, and video game player. Through reviewing the literature, several research gaps have been identified in the following areas: video game players’ switching behaviour from traditional consoles to mobile gaming, video game players’ in-game purchase behaviour, and video game players’ flow experience. This thesis contains three studies, each of them fulfils the identified research gaps in the corresponding research field. The first study discusses what are the determinants that drive video game players’ switching behaviour from traditional gaming to mobile gaming. The second study explores why and how video game players purchased different types of in-game goods. In the third study, the flow experience in the video game context is conceptualised, and a dispositional flow scale is developed for adult video game players.

The Arrest and Trial of Paul Rusesabagina and its Impact on Rwandan Foreign Affairs
Authors: Beloff Jonathan R.
Published: September 2022

The 2020 arrest and subsequent trial of Paul Rusesabagina fostered controversy about Rwanda’s human rights record and the political dominance of President Paul Kagame against oppositional voices. Despite human rights organizations and even the European Union condemning the arrest and questioning the ability for him to receive a fair trial, Rwandans remain resolute in their desire to seek justice against Rusesabagina. He is best known as the African version of Oscar Schindler because of the 2004 movie, Hotel Rwanda. However, the historical narrative of Rusesabagina’s heroism is questioned within Rwanda. Additionally, he is accused of forming ties to numerous terrorist groups which committed deadly attacks in Rwanda. This article examines Rusesabagina’s role during and after the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi and the impact of his arrest and trial on Rwanda’s foreign relations.
Association between systemic sclerosis, palmar fasciitis with polyarthritis, Raynaud’s phenomenon and erythromelalgia with underlying malignancy
Authors: Nowak Katarzyna , Wright Gary
Published: September 2022

The symptoms of a rheumatic disease may also be a sign of a proliferative process. These include conditions that present with skin and vascular changes such as systemic sclerosis and Raynaud’s phenomenon with peripheral ischaemia and ulceration. Furthermore, the less common conditions – erythromelalgia or palmar fasciitis with polyarthritis may also accompany cancer. In this article, we discuss the association of diffuse systemic sclerosis with anorectal tumor, palmar fasciitis and polyarthritis with ovarian cancer, erythromelalgia with underlying ovarian malignancy and Raynaud’s phenomenon and digital ischemia associated with renal carcinoma.

Based on the literature review on this topic we highlighted the importance of recognizing paraneoplastic syndromes at an early stage. This is a crucial point in the adequate management of a patient. Many of the paraneoplastic symptoms of rheumatic and other described conditions may regress with the management of the underlying malignancy.

Introduction: Airway management can be a major concern, due to the possibility of encountering difficult ventilation and intubation. The Modified Intubation Difficulty Scale (MIDS) is a quantitative scale that can objectively compare nasotracheal intubation. LEMON method which consists of following assessments; Look-Evaluate-Mallampati-Obstruction-Neck mobility and modified LEMON scores (LEON) are popular scoring systems described for airway management due to their easy usability. We aimed to evaluate usability of the LEMON and LEON scores in patients who underwent oral and maxillofacial surgery by studying correlation between each score and the MIDS. Materials and Methods: The records of 72 patients were reviewed retrospectively. At the pre-anesthetic evaluation; airway assessments were recorded according to LEMON, LEON scores; MIDS were recorded after intubation. Patients were allocated into two groups: Non-difficult (NonD; MIDS ≤5) and Difficult (D; MIDS >5). Correlations between scores were analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve plots were used to determine possible cut-off values; specificity, sensitivity, negative-predictive values for LEON and LEMON scores. In all analyses, p<0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: LEMON and LEON scores were correlated with the MIDS. Analysis of ROC curve plots revealed 2 cut-off values (≥4 and ≥5) for LEMON; 1 cut-off value (≥4) for LEON score. Among the scores, LEMON (≥4), LEON had the highest sensitivity and negative-predictive values (both 100%); LEON showed higher specificity than the LEMON (≥4) (96.7% vs 91.8%). LEMON (≥5) had the highest specificity (98.4%) but the lowest sensitivity (90.4%), negative-predictive value (90.9%) among the group. Conclusion: LEON scores ≥4 can be effectively used with 100% sensitivity, 96.7% specificity and, 100% negative-predictive-value for predicting difficult airway and intubation in elective maxillofacial surgeries.

The present work aimed to reflect on the use of playful activities in elementary education in Scienceclasses, highlighting their contribution to the teaching-learning process, since games and pranksact as a bridge between pleasure and knowledge. Through bibliographic research, the view of several authors was discussed that consider the ludic a valuable didactic instrument to be worked in the school environment as an ally to the teaching pedagogical practice. It also presents the results of a field research carried out with Science teachers, reporting their perceptions of the use of playfulness in the teaching of Science in Elementary Education in the city of Pedro II-PI. Thus, it is considered that playfulness should be explored in this context, as it streamlines classes, making them more motivating and interesting in the eyes of students, favoring the development of numerous important skills for the individual's intrapersonal and interpersonal growth.

With the discovery of type X ionizing radiation, it became possible to improve studies in both medicine and dentistry. The first dental radiograph was performed 14 days after the discovery, which influenced Edmund Kells in his studies of positioning and techniques, making him the martyr of Dental Radiology. Since then, panoramic and tomographic equipment have evolved, reducing radiation dose, time and improving image quality. The present work aimed to study and analyze the distribution of dental radiology equipment by mesoregions in the State of Piauí, verifying if the distribution complies with Ordinance GM/MS 1.101. Through a descriptive, exploratory and bibliographic study, data were obtained from the CNES website, referring to the distribution of equipment, its use and the history of dental radiology and devices. Based on this, we observed the difference in distribution in Brazilian states, such as in Piauí, the amount of equipment registered by the SUS and private clinics and the arithmetic mean of the use of these devices. It is concluded that, even with the low number of dental X-ray equipment in use when compared to the distribution of other states, some cities in Piauí do not obey the GM/MS Ordinance No. lack of equipment in cities with large population.

Gilded: Contemporary Artists Explore Value and Worth
Authors: Stamey Emily
Published: September 2022

This exhibition catalogue accompanies Gilded: Contemporary Artists Explore Value and Worth, organized by the Weatherspoon Art Museum at UNC Greensboro, on view September 10, 2022 - April 8, 2023. Across time and cultures, gold has served as a metaphor for what we value most. Symbolically, it stands in for goodness, excellence, brilliance, and wealth. He has a heart of gold. She is going for gold. It shone like gold. They struck gold. Found in crowns and regalia that bestow power, rings that signal matrimony, and currency traded among peoples, the metal has profound social significance. Across the arts, craftspeople have long pounded gold into thin sheets called leaves, which are applied in a process called gilding. In realms of the spiritual, gilding illuminates sacred texts, gives otherworldly luster to holy spaces, and allows religious sculptures to shine.  While we most often associate gold leaf with historic traditions, the material appears frequently in the work of contemporary artists. Specifically, the artists represented in this exhibition turn to gilding as a means to reconsider our value systems. Gilding images of graffiti and sidewalks, cardboard boxes and architectural fragments, they ask us to see the beauty in what we so often overlook and honor that which we so often throw away. Gilding images of people—often those who have been disempowered or forgotten—they ask us to hold up our collective humanity. If, as the saying goes, “all that glitters is not gold,” the artists represented here offer an inverse proposition: perhaps that which does not always shine is most worthy of our attention.  Gilded features the work of Radcliffe Bailey, Larissa Bates, william cordova, Angela Fraleigh, Gajin Fujita, Nicholas Galanin, Liz Glynn, Shan Goshorn, Sherin Guirguis, Titus Kaphar, Hung Liu, James Nares, Ronny Quevedo, Shinji Turner-Yamamoto, Danh Vo, Stacy Lynn Waddell, and Summer Wheat. After its Weatherspoon debut, the project will travel to the Hunter Museum of Art in Chattanooga, TN and the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth in Hanover, NH.
