Enhancing Students’ Critical Thinking through Translation Practice: A Narrative Review
Authors: Oussama El Bahri , Hassane Darir
Published: November 2023

This paper delves into one of the primary challenges in higher education, which revolves around the methods employed by educators to cultivate enhanced critical thinking skills in students. While certain majors such as philosophy, logic, and literary criticism inherently demand higher levels of critical thinking, there exists a pressing need to investigate the efficacy of practical exercises like translation in fostering critical thinking abilities among university students (Ghazala, 2008; Beylard-Ozeroff, Lev?, & Popovi?, 1998). In this context, this narrative review embarks on an exploration of the intricate relationship between critical thinking and translation. While previous research has predominantly concentrated on the influence of critical thinking on translation quality, this study takes a novel perspective by assessing whether engagement in translation activities can indeed augment the critical thinking capabilities of students. Through an extensive literature review, this study examines existing research that elucidates the correlation between critical thinking and translation skills. Furthermore, it scrutinizes the fundamental constituents of critical thinking and the cognitive processes intricately involved in translation. The findings from this investigation unveil a positive connection between the practice of translation and the enhancement of critical thinking skills among students. Consequently, this narrative review not only contributes valuable insights but also underscores the potential educational advantages of incorporating translation exercises into curricula as a means to foster critical thinking.
The Role of Financing on the Performance of Cooperative Societies in Damaturu Metropolis, Yobe State, Nigeria
Authors: Adeyemi John Adeola
Published: November 2023

The study focused on the role of financing in the performance of cooperative society in Damaturu. The work adopted descriptive research design in order to generalize the findings to a larger population. Primary and secondary data and questionnaire were used to source data. Simple random sampling technique was used to select a subset of participants from a population. The selection focused on the cooperatives and businesses that are connected to the cooperatives, which totalled ten, and the organization got ten each. The researcher used population of 100 respondents. Hypothesis 1 was tested using chi-square statistics, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient Analysis with SPSS software was used to test hypothesis 2. From the results of the analysis using chi-square, the significant value of 0.026 and chi-square value of 196.87, the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternate is accepted. From the results of the analysis, the challenges faced in financing significantly relate with the productivity of cooperative societies with the correlation coefficient of 0.876 and the significant value of 0.041, which shows that the relationship is significant. The study revealed that the government’s involvement encourages SMEs as they support cooperative organizations, by creating enabling atmospheres for financial delivery. It is therefore recommended that government should strengthen cooperative society to enhance more productivity of the institution.

Published: November 2023

Malaria remains a major health concern in the tropics with its vector; the Anopheles species assume several dimensions of resisting control measures. Molecular characterization of the malaria vectors was carried out in two locations of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja Nigeria. Indoor and outdoor biting mosquitoes were collected and identified morphologically. A total of two hundred and twenty-eight (228) Anopheles mosquitoes were caught from two communities (Kubwa and Nyanya). Molecular characterization of sibling species of the An. gambiae complex was done using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) techniques. The PCR molecular analysis showed that the S-form of Anopheles gambiae s.s was more abundant (76.8%) than the M-form (8.0%). The S-form occurred throughout the year with its peak at the beginning of the wet season while the M-form, An. coluzii occurred towards the end of the dry seasons. This suggests the likelihood of continuous malaria transmission all round the year. Inhabitants of the study area there have the need for effective vector control.

Authors: Diepiribo Adata Dickson
Published: November 2023

This study assessed readiness level towards e-assessment among human kinetics and health education lecturers in Bayelsa State. The study used a descriptive survey research approach. To direct the investigation, two research questions and associated hypotheses were posed. All lecturers in the human kinetics and health education units of the several tertiary institutions in Bayelsa State made up the study population. “The study employed a sample of 97 professors from the three (3) higher education institutions that house the department of human kinetics and health education.” The instrument for data collection was a Readiness to Adopt E-assessment Questionnaire (RAEQ), created by the researcher and approved by professionals. Using the Cronbach Alpha formula, “the reliability coefficient of the instrument was determined, and a value of 0.79 was achieved, which was deemed suitable for the study. Mean and standard deviation were used to respond to the research questions, and t-test statistics were used to evaluate the null hypotheses.” It was discovered that the lecturers were not very ready to implement e-assessment, and neither gender nor the kind of institution had a major impact. It was suggested that professors in human kinetics and health education be properly taught on how to use e-assessment technologies.

Published: November 2023

This study investigates the effect of welding current on the mechanical properties of 5mm A36LCS using TIG welding process. Two joints, lap and butt, were selected for the study. The study found that (a) UTS of the welded joints increased with current from 80A to 110A, but declined afterwards. This was attributed to the amount of heat of fusion generated by the current and consequently the bead sized formed. After 110A however, some elements burn out to diminish strength of joint. At 110A, Lap joint recorded UTS value of 67.74Mpa with fracture value of 52.24Mpa and Butt 110A also recorded UTS value of 81.13Mpa and the fracture value of 41.91Mpa. (b) Hardness was highest at 110A for both joints, with the butt joint exhibiting significantly higher hardness value as compared to the lap joints. This was attributed to the heat dissipation due to surface exposure of bead to ambient conditions.

Published: November 2023

Pott's disease or tuberculous spondylodiscitis is one of the most serious forms of osteoarticular tuberculosis, responsible for spinal cord compression and/or "cauda equina" syndrome due to granulomatous and/or abscessed tuberculous epiduritis. Surgery therefore plays a key role in the management of this pathology, although surgical techniques vary widely from one author to another and from one department to another.

The aim of our work is to describe the different techniques used in our department during the study period, and to evaluate the results.

This is a prospective study concerning 34 cases of dorsolumbar and lumbar Pott's disease collised in the neurosurgery department of Niamey National Hospital from January 2020 to December 2021.

Analysis of our results found 26 men and 8 women with a sex ratio of 3.25; the extreme ages were 11 and 76 years and the mean age was 40.53 years. 20 patients presented with dorsal cord compression syndrome, 12 with cauda equina syndrome, 6 with conus medullaris syndrome and 2 with multifocal localization.

CT was performed in all patients and MRI in only one. All patients were treated with antibacillary chemotherapy. In 16 patients (47.06%), a posterolateral approach consisting of hemilaminectomy, pediculotomy and unilateral arthrectomy was used; in 9 patients (26.47%) a posterior approach consisting of fenestration; and laminectomy in 4 patients (11.76%). An anterior approach in 3 patients (8.82%), consisting of a corpectomy and an antero-lateral approach (pediculo-artrectomy-corpectomy) in 2 patients (5.89%). All our patients underwent debridement, evacuation of residual pus and sequestrectomy. Out of the debridement filling of the defect was performed in 23 cases with a spinous graft, 2 with fibula, 2 with a rib graft and one with an iliac bone graft.

At 4 months post-surgery, radicular signs had completely disappeared in all patients, and sensory-motor deficit had improved in 30 patients (88.23%). There was a reduction in kyphosis in all patients who had benefited from an anterior approach, compared with 41.38 % who had undergone a posterior approach.
Pro-Palästina als unmittelbare Gefahr?
Authors: Arzt Clemens
Published: November 2023

Seit dem menschenverachtenden Überfall der Hamas auf Israel am 7. Oktober 2023 und den weiteren Angriffen danach gehen die Wogen international wie auch in Deutschland hoch. Jüdinnen und Juden in Deutschland äußern ihre nur zu berechtigte Besorgnis und Angst vor Übergriffen auch hier. Dass sie diese Sorge haben müssen, ist bedenklich und real, nicht erst seit dem 7. Oktober 2023. Vor diesem Hintergrund hat der Kanzler abermals die deutsche Staatsräson (und Israels Sicherheit als Teil hiervon) aufgerufen und zum Leitbild staatlichen Handelns gemacht. Auf einer politischen oder auch moralphilosophischen Ebene ist das nachvollziehbar. Wenn die Staatsräson indes zum Maßstab der Versammlungsfreiheit in Deutschland wird, knirscht es laut.

Following the October 17, 2023 call by Kai Ambos for a differentiated debate, we explain which international humanitarian law precautions are relevant and what German policy can contribute to contain the escalation of violence as well as the suffering of the civilian population in the immediate conflict and in the future.
Revisiting Secondary Education Reform in China: Comparing the Perceptions of Teachers and Students between 2012 and 2022
Authors: Jin Yixiang , Joong Yee Han Peter , Gibbs Rose
Published: November 2023

This mixed methods study compares how secondary school teachers implemented Education Reform in China in 2012 and 2022. The survey asked how often a teaching or evaluation strategy was used. The conclusions of the current study indicate that even though teacher-directed lessons (teacher talk, questioning, and discussions) still dominated, sample teachers were able to use a variety of student-centered learning (SCL) methods (activities and group work) in accordance with the Reform initiatives. A significant obstacle to reform remains high-stakes examinations, which rely heavily on rote memorization, rather than the creative application of knowledge.

Authors: Momanyi Evans Mokaya , Juma Dennis , Kenyanya Patrick Nyatete
Published: November 2023

Financial innovation can be considered to be one of the crucial determinants for the performance of an organization. Various financial institutions have adopted various ways to enhance competition from other financial institutions and enhance their profitability in the market. In Kenya, SACCOS are noted to be the main drivers of the economy. They offer quick services such as quick and flexible loans to individuals seeking finance from micro-institutions rather than commercial banks. This study sought to investigate the effect of financial innovation on the financial performance of DT-SACCOS operating in Kenya. The target population of the study was the 69 DT-SACCOS from where 49 were used based on data availability. Primary data was gathered from operational managers through self-administered questionnaires after a pilot test is conducted to test the validity of the questionnaire. The data collected was condensed and analysed descriptively using the mean and standard deviation and inferentially using correlation and regression analyses. The findings of the first objective reveal that Institutional financial innovations have a statistically significant effect on the financial performance of DT-SACCOs in Kenya; Financial Products Innovations has a statistically significant effect on financial performance of DT-SACCOs in Kenya; Financial Process Innovations had a statistically significant effect on the ability of DT-SACCOs in Kenya to maintain their financial performance; a demonstrably beneficial impact that Financial Process Innovations has on the long-term financial performance of DT-SACCOs in Kenya.

Published: November 2023

La presente investigación se enfocó en el estudio de la responsabilidad social empresarial y la cultura organizacional en la empresa constructora ISABA S.A. Se utilizó el modelo de Denison y Relaciones Causales, con un tipo de investigación descriptiva, correlacional y documental. Los resultados indicaron una fuerte presencia de la Responsabilidad Social y la Cultura Organizacional, con puntuaciones promedio de 4,45 y 4,52 de una escala de 5 puntos, respectivamente. Sin embargo, el análisis correlacional a través del software estadístico SPSS y la herramienta de análisis correlacional generaron una correlación positiva muy baja, de valor 0,055. Esto sugiere que la Responsabilidad social empresarial no influye significativamente en la cultura organizacional de la empresa o lo hace de manera muy limitada, lo que sugiere un enfoque individualista en ambas áreas que impide una integración total de las variables evaluadas. En conclusión, se destaca la necesidad de trabajar en un modelo de gestión integrado que permita una mejor unión entre las variables estudiadas.

La concepción de persona jurídica: de la ficción legislativa a una respuesta de la realidad
Authors: Martínez Yntriago Juan Reinaldo
Published: November 2023

Este trabajo aborda la crisis conceptual de las “personas jurídicas”. El objetivo plantea la dificultad de independizar a estas entidades con una concepción que las distinga de los individuos humanos. Además, se busca argumentar que su existencia no depende de una ficción, sino al deber estatal de reconocerlas por ser producto de agrupaciones humanas y patrimoniales, formadas a partir de necesidades económicas y sociales. El enfoque metodológico empleado es cualitativo descriptivo, con lo cual se pretende verificar la dificultad conceptual existente sobre la persona jurídica, y el tratamiento legislativo dispar que se le ha otorgado en los países hispanos. Se concluye que el término persona jurídica no es específico, debido a que también evoca al individuo humano, lo que imposibilita establecer una definición válida a nivel doctrinario y legislativo, sobre todo porque los entes jurídicos no son consecuencia del Derecho, sino realidades previas a la norma que los regula.
(IM)POSSIBILIDADE JURÍDICA DA CUMULATIVIDADE DOS ADICIONAIS DE INSALUBRIDADE E PERICULOSIDADE
Authors: Ferreira de Souza Kleiton Cristian , Dos Santos Júnior Marcos , Jardim dos Santos Saulo Altivo , Ribeiro Lemos Felipe
Published: November 2023

Este artigo científico aborda a questão da cumulatividade dos adicionais de insalubridade e periculosidade no contexto do direito trabalhista brasileiro. Tais adicionais são definidos como acréscimos na remuneração de trabalhadores que desempenham atividades em condições insalubres e/ou perigosas, conforme estabelecido na Constituição Federal de 1988 e regulamentados pela CLT (Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho), Decreto-Lei nº 5.452/1943. No entanto, o artigo 193, § 2º da legislação trabalhista estipula que, em casos nos quais uma atividade envolva tanto agentes insalubres quanto perigosos, o empregado deve optar por receber o adicional de insalubridade ou o adicional de periculosidade, mas não ambos ao mesmo tempo. Essa restrição tem sido objeto de debate entre juristas, alguns dos quais a consideram correta, enquanto outros argumentam que ela pode estar em desacordo com a Constituição e convenções internacionais da OIT (Organização Internacional do Trabalho). O objetivo deste estudo é analisar se existe uma base jurídica para permitir a cumulatividade dos adicionais de insalubridade e periculosidade no sistema legal brasileiro. Essa discussão é relevante, pois diz respeito às condições de trabalho e à remuneração dos trabalhadores, garantindo o cumprimento dos direitos sociais previstos na Constituição e a adequação das leis trabalhistas à realidade atual. A metodologia adotada consiste em uma pesquisa qualitativa com base no método dialético, utilizando técnicas de revisão bibliográfica e análise de jurisprudência.

Penelitian ini mengkaji tentang bagaimana otoritas parewa sara’ pra dan pasca terjadinya rumpa’na tana Bone. Kajian ini dibagi menjadi 3 rumusan masalah: (1) Bagaimana sejarah parewa sara’ pra peristiwa rumpa’na tana Bone, (2) Bagaimana kontribusi parewa sara’ ketika berlangsungnya peristiwa rumpa’na tana Bone, (3) Bagaimana kedudukan parewa sara’ pasca peristiwa rumpa’na tana Bone.

Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kepustakaan atau library research. Pendekatan yang digunakan yaitu: (1) Pendekatan Sejarah, (2) Pendekatan Budaya, (3) Pendekatan Etnografi. Sumber data ada dua macam yaitu sumber data primer dan sumber data sekunder, sedangkan langkah-langkah penelitian yakni: (1) Heuristik (pengumpulan sumber), (2) Kritik Sumber, (3) Interpretasi, (4) dan Historiografi.

Hasil penelitian ini berupaya mengungkap otoritas Parewa Sara’ pra dan pasca peristiwa Rumpa’na Tana Bone dalam kurun waktu 1824-1931. Pengungkapan pertama: struktur pemerintahan Kerajaan Bone sebelum dan setelah Islam sebagai agama resmi kerajaan. Kedua, peranan Parewa Sara’ yang memiliki otoritas dalam memandang peristiwa yang akan dihadapi Kerajaan Bone ketika berhadapan dengan Hindia Belanda. Pandangan ini terlihat setelah Hindia Belanda melakukan penyerangan guna menguasai pelabuhan yang ada di Bone. Pukulan mundur yang terus dilakukan Belanda membuat lasykar-lasykar Bone kewalahan sehingga peristiwa ini diistilahkan Rumpa’na Tana Bone. Dan ketiga, akibat kemenangan Belanda dalam perang yang telah berlangsung membuat sisyem pemerintahan Kerajaan Bone diambil alih oleh pihak Belanda dan Parewa Sara’ yang tadinya memiliki kedudukan dalam pemerintahan Kerajaan Bone sudah jarang dijumpai dalam pengungkapan perannya dalam pemerintahan.

Authors:   University of Forestry, Agriculture Faculty, Sofia 1756, Bulgaria, Avramov Zhelyu
Published: November 2023

Since ancient times, the fruits of the plum have occupied an important place on the table of the Bulgarians. To obtain high and stable yields an important condition is the proper organization and conduct of plant protection activities and the fast, the correct and accurate diagnosis of PPV - Stoneware. In our climate, Plum pattern manifests symptoms first on the first spring leaves. The described symptoms of flowers in different stone species are few and scarce, so we conducted the present study in two following years 2019 and 2020 to describe, differentiate and compare visual symptoms of flowering with the results of DAS-ELISA tests on the leaves of the studied stone species. From the surveyed PPV host species in two orchards 12 mather trees with color symptoms were selected and described in two regions of Bulgaria - the Sofia field (Vrajdebna (1,2 ha) and the Vratsa region (Roman Orchard Nursery (0,4 ha). In a total of 9 samples, PPV infection was confirmed. The established deviations were found only in fruit crops that bloom with white flowers. Based on the results and conclusions, the present study will contribute to the timely detection of the causative agent of pox virus in the earliest symptoms in nurseries and gardens and will provide the right and quick direction to overcome the damage through proper plant protection activities
Effect of main agronomy factors on the productivity and physical characteristics of common winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grown under conventional and transitional-organic production
Authors:   Agricultural Academy – Sofia, Dobrudzha Agricultural Institute – General Toshevo, Bulgaria, Atanasov Atanas , Nankova Margarita ,   Agricultural Academy – Sofia, Dobrudzha Agricultural Institute – General Toshevo, Bulgaria
Published: November 2023

The aim of this study was to evaluate, based on the yield and the physical properties of grain, the response of five Tr. aestivum L. varieties developed at Dobrudzha Agricultural Institute grown under transition to organic production (TOP) and under conventional production (CP) during 2018 – 2020. Under TOP, decisive for productivity were the type of previous crop and the conditions for development in the specific year. The higher productivity of cultivars Kosara (3903.9 kg/ha), Rada and Kalina was advantageous under organic production. The CP of wheat exceeded by yield the TOP grown wheat with 2178.5 kg/ha (64.38 %), and in years with unfavorable conditions – with more than 80 %. Under CP, mineral fertilization was a yield-determining factor. The highest mean yield from the tested varieties was obtained under fertilization with N180P60K60 - 7189.8 kg/ha. Cultivar Rada was with the highest productivity under conventional growing (6143.9 kg/ha). Under both ways of production, cultivars Dragana and Pchelina had higher values of test weight. The previous crops pea and oil seed rape had favorable effect on the values of this parameter, while fertilization with N180P60K60 decreased them. Thousand kernel weight under both ways of production was highest in cultivar Kalina, followed by Dragana and Rada. In contrast to test weight, grain with highest 1000 kernel weight was obtained under the highest norm of mineral fertilization and after previous crop oilseed rape. The level of all tested correlations was considerably higher under the TOP in comparison to the CP for mass production of wheat.
Hybridological analysis of inheritance of length and width of leaves in hybrid combinations Burley tobacco
Authors:   Agricultural Academy, Tobacco and Tobacco Products Institute (TTPI), Markovo, Bulgaria, Dyulgerski Yovko
Published: November 2023

The way of inheritance, the coefficient of heritability, the manifestations of heterosis, transgression and depression in terms of the length and width of the leaves in hybrid combinations Burley tobaco are established. For that purpose are studied, the Р1 , Р2 , F1 and F2 populations of eight crosses Burley tobacco. The obtained results suggest that inheritance of the length or leaves is overrdominantly, incompletely dominantly or additive, and of the width of leaves is incompletely dominantly and overrdominantly,, as in both indicators it is always in the direction of the parent with higher values. Manifestations of heterosis and transgression are of economic importance only in terms of leaf width. The minimal number of genes that control the expression of the studied indices is small and uniform and the length and width of the leaves. The phenotypic expression of leaf size is strongly influenced by negative epistatic interactions, especially pronounced at their width. The established medium to higher values of the coefficient of heritability of the length of the leaves are an indication of a relatively equal share of influence of genotype and environmental conditions on the phenotypic manifestation of leaf length, which suggests that the selection on this indicator to be effective in earlier hybrid generations. The selection of width of the leaves will be effective in later hybrid generations due to lower values coefficient of the heritability, for this indicator. This shows that the coefficient of heritability and the related coefficient of efficiency of the selection is different in both indicators, making it difficult selection work.
PSYCHODIAGNOSTICS PLATFORM FOR ADOLESCENTS “TESTU.ONLINE”
Authors: Kupreev Pavel
Published: November 2023

Recently, there has been an increase in the level of stress, depression
and aggression among the population, especially among students of
general education institutions. To date, there are no solutions that track the
psycho-emotional state of students, allowing them to build predictive models
of behavior of schoolchildren, as well as solutions for high-quality, with the
possibility of maintaining anonymity, psychological support. Psychologists in
these institutions spend at least % of their time distributing and checking
tests and methodological materials. The created solution is a platform that
allows to optimize the psychologist’s time and increase the effectiveness of
psychological care in educational institutions. The main problems: % of
schoolchildren are in a state of depression (FSAI “NMRC of Children’s Health”
Ministry of Health of Russia ()); % of schoolchildren experience a
high level of stress (RNMC ()); % of schoolchildren show aggression
(RNMC ()); The solution is a platform that provides the following functionality.
Psychologists receive Video consultations and chat; Validated tests;
Test Constructor; Tips for schoolchildren; Analysis of test results. For the
school management the solutions provide Analytical reports by fi lters: region,
school, class, gender, age; Real-time statistics of results; Identifi cation
of abnormal patterns of behavior and confl icts in real time. For schoolchildren
they include The “need help” button; Anonymous consultations; Advice
from a psychologist; Modern interface. Technology is a web–based solution
with a nested CRM system, as well as machine learning methods for creating
predictive behavior models. The main value of this solution is to reduce the
time of the psychologist for the distribution and verifi cation of tests, which
will allow more time to devote to consultations. Students will also have the
opportunity to request the help of a specialist, including anonymously. Such
approaches can reduce the level of aggression and stress among students of
general education institutions.
USING DIGITAL READING TO ENHANCE LANGUAGE AND EARLY LITERACY IN PRESCHOOL AGE CHILDREN WHO SPEAK AT HOME OTHER LANGUAGE THAN THE LANGUAGE OF SCHOOL

Published: November 2023

Narration is one basic category of extended discourse, including
the complex ways language is used to express various ideas. According to
Bruner, narrative is a conceptual reconstruction of experience and the fi rst
form of discourse produced by children. This is why narrative is embedded
in various activities in early childhood education. Children are encouraged
to share their experiences, thoughts, or fantastic word, retell the stories they
have heard or been read to, make a story out of their paintings, or compose
a story with dolls or in a drama play corner. To support children who do not
have their mother tongue as the language of instruction we are to fi nd ways
to get them acquainted with narratives. In this presentation we are going
to share some good practices about how digital reading of fairy tales, traditional
stories, mythology, or modern literature in children’s books can be
used in order to enhance language and early literacy in both early childhood
education settings and families. These practices were developed by pre-service
students of early childhood education and were used in their training.
Even though there was no systematic observation or recording, we had a very
warm respond from educators and parents. Children were very enthusiastic
to share what they had heard in classroom with their parents and got confi -
dence in language use after having heard the same story many times.
EDUCATIONAL MULTIMEDIA AS A MEANS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE FORMATION OF VALUES
Authors: Hitchman Samantha Triana , Rojas Jhonathan Villavicencio
Published: November 2023

The formation of values is a recurring theme in pedagogical research.
Among the new realities in which learners fi nd themselves are ICTs
that, using their different resources appropriately, are means of support for
the formation of values. The objective of this research is to demonstrate the
use of educational multimedia with the thought of José Martí in the formation
of values. The research methods are Historical-logical, Analytical-synthetic,
Inductive-Deductive, Documentary analysis, Modeling, Problem inventory,
Survey, Sentence completion, Interview, Observation. The sample is
formed of  students corresponding to the fourth grade of the Jesús Hernández
Alfonso Primary School. The four dimensions worked on (behavioral, affective,
cognitive and instructional) result in () students learning theoretical
aspects about values in the vision of José Martí; () the teacher considering
new technologies as an educational means that contributes to exposing
knowledge of values from the thought of José Martí and to the motivation of
students. There are % of students who, when faced with some of the values
worked on, do not show a change in their behavior. Students have greater
sensitivity towards the modes of action associated with the values worked
on in the research. The formation of values as a process supports its methodological
theoretical foundations from axiology, pedagogy and psychology
linked to the student’s approach to the thought of José Martí. With the application
of multimedia, signifi cant advances were achieved in the subject and
other areas remain open that can be the subject of future research.
REPRESENTATION OF CHILDREN’S IDEAS ABOUT GOOD AND EVIL IN THE CONTEXT OF DIGITAL SOCIALIZATION
Authors: Akopian Liubov , Akopov Garnik
Published: November 2023

An ambiguous assessment of the consequences of “digital tools”
use by children in educational, cognitive and socio-communicative activities
brings up the problem of “digital socialization”. In the studies of cognitive
sphere, multiple data have been obtained confi rming a serious transformation
of consciousness in “digital generation” (Soldatova G.U., Rasskazova E.I.,
Nestik T.A.). The purpose of the study is to determine the features of moral
consciousness of children and adolescents in projection on the problems of
good and evil (Popov L.M. et al.). The questionnaire is aimed at identifying
ideas about good and evil, as well as the characteristics of good and evil
people. The sample consisted of  people:  primary school children, and
 teenagers of a school in Samara. The content of the representative components
of children’s consciousness is determined both in sign-verbal and
fi gurative-symbolic forms. The level of generalization in the forms of verbal
consciousness in children aged - is lower in comparison with adolescents
aged -. Kindness in children and adolescents is characterized by empathy,
love, help to others; evil is described as causing suffering, intolerance,
humiliation, violence, etc. Visual images of goodness in adolescents are predominantly
symbolic (sun, heart, clouds); in the images of good there are
warm tones of orange, yellow, green. Evil is depicted with menacing faces
and symbols in black colors. Younger schoolchildren have fewer symbols in
the image of good and evil, there are more human fi gures. In the fi gurative
representations of children and adolescents, there is no clear representation
of the “markers” of digital socialization in subjective attitude to good and evil.
It was also not possible to identify any signs of positive or negative “traces” of
social network activity of children and adolescents associated with the categories
of good and evil.

O sociólogo polonês, Zygmunt Bauman, fugiu do nazismo durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial e foi para a Inglaterra, onde fixou sua morada. Após perseguição pelo antissemitismo, tornou-se professor emérito da cadeira de sociologia na Universidade de Leeds. Somente após os últimos anos de sua vida, passou a ser reconhecido como um dos mais renomados escritores da modernidade líquida, uma vez que suas abordagens analisam a sociedade, o cotidiano e a globalização, de maneira tão atual, que refletem ainda no nosso presente.  Na obra em comento, o autor observa os vínculos dos indivíduos dentro de uma coletividade e a divide em três grandes blocos para o estudo: Como Somos; Como Pensamos; e Como Agimos.

Published: November 2023

O presente estudo procura realizar dois propósitos principais. O primeiro deles é articular a importância do princípio da indivisibilidade dos direitos humanos para o reconhecimento, a garantia e a efetivação dos direitos econômicos, sociais e culturais. Procura-se situar o princípio da indivisibilidade como condição necessária à consagração da efetiva universalidade dos direitos humanos. O segundo objetivo consiste em avaliar a evolução da justiciabilidade dos direitos econômicos, sociais e culturais para, em seguida, examinar julgados da Corte Europeia de Direitos Humanos (CEDH) e da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos (CIDH) relativos à proteção indireta e direta de direitos sociais, procurando-se demonstrar a correlação dessas decisões com o princípio da indivisibilidade dos direitos humanos.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a group of heterogeneous disorders that have indications in the form of increased content of high blood sugar levels. WHO also confirmed DM to be the 7th trigger of death. IDF (International Diabet Federation) data estimates from survey results after North America in 2017 the 3rd place was occupied by Southeast Asia and people with diabetes mellitus with a percentage of 8.5% at the age of 20-29 years in North Africa. One of the treatments for patients with diabetes mellitus can be wound care using Modern Dressing with the Moist Wound Healing method. Methods: The method used in this wound treatment is the Modern Dressing technique with the Moist Wound Healing method. This procedure can clinically grow tissue 30-50%, increase collagen synthesis by 50%, and the rate of re-epithelialization with moist conditions is 2-5 times faster and can reduce the amount of fluid from above the wound surface. Results: evaluation shows that Modern Dressing wound care with the Moist Wound Healing method is in fact able to maintain moist conditions in the wound, reduce inflammation in the wound so that it can improve and accelerate the healing process of diabetic ulcers. Conclusion: The results showed that the Modern Dressing technique with the Moist Wound Healing method was able to improve the healing process of diabetic ulcers. The results also showed that there were significant changes between modern and conventional dressings. The modern dressing group had a much better development than the conventional dressing. The application of the Moist Wound Healing method in patients with diabetic ulcers can provide a much faster wound recovery reaction.
