Преимущества и способы применения метода предметно-языкового
интегрированного обучения
Authors: Искендерова К.Я.
Published: January 2023

Предметно-языковое интегрированное обучение (CLIL) связано с преподаванием предметов на иностранном языке. Цель данного подхода – единовременное обучение студентов иностранному языку и любому другому предмету. Например, при обучении химии на английском языке мы составляем термины и объясняем урок на английском языке. Европейские страны поддерживают и широко применяют CLIL подход в обучении. Вот уже несколько лет этот подход используется во многих частных школах и некоторых университетах Азербайджана. Опыт показывает, что по сравнению с “General English” (общим английским), уровень английского языка учеников и студентов, обучающихся с помощью предметно-языкового интегрированного обучения (CLIL), очень высок и они могут свободно и бегло общаться и сотрудничать. В результате они в совершенстве овладевают иностранным языком.

Published: January 2023

В связи с санкциями западных стран в отношении России и возникшим состоянием бифурка-ции мировой экономики, неизбежна существенная перестройка рынка труда, генерация вызо-вов, требующая пересмотра системы подготовки профессиональных кадров, непрерывное об-новление знаний и навыков. Целью работы является разработка концепции подготовки профес-сиональных кадров для Маринет в современных условиях жесткой экономической войны, раз-вязанной западными странами с Россией, бифуркации мировой экономики и пересмотра наци-ональной политики в области образования, включая отношение к Болонскому процессу. В ча-сти 1 работы, на основе анализа мировой морехозяйственной деятельности на примере важных её секторов – рыболовства и торгового флота с выделением ведущих стран по рыбодобыче, крупнейших компаний – операторов контейнеровозов и глубины переработки морепродукции, рассмотрены проблемы модернизации системы подготовки профессиональных кадров для Ма-ринет. Показан большой потенциал России в треке НТИ Маринет, реализация которого требует фундаментального подхода к организации профессионального образования, основанного на ма-тематической подготовке, цифровых технологиях, производственных инновациях и лучших морских традициях страны. Ключевым фактором успешного использования этого потенциала является организация системы ранней ориентации и непрерывной подготовки профессиональ-ных кадров, способных успешно адаптироваться к быстро меняющейся среде. В онлайн-образовании акцент делается на информационные и цифровые технологии, в офлайн занятиях – на использование свойств общего, эмоционального и векторного интеллекта в процессе обуче-ния, сопровождаемые коллективной генерацией инноваций. Общая конфигурация онлайн-офлайн образования зависит от изучаемого курса, целей и задач обучения, контингента учебной группы и возможностей образовательной организации. Внедрение предлагаемой программы в морское образование станет одной из ступеней ускоренного развития инновационной системы России.

Authors: Bersaldo Michael Jeriel I. , Lacuna Maria Lourdes Dorothy G. , Macusi Edison D. , Avenido Pedro M.
Published: January 2023

Mangrove clam Pegophysema philippiana Reeve, 1850, is common to mangroves muddy substrate in Baganga, Davao Oriental, particularly in barangay Kinablangan, Lucod, Salingcomot and Bobonao. Sampling was done on May 2-7, 2022, during high tide. Mangrove clam length-weight relationship was calculated using the exponential equation W = aLb. A total of 769 mangrove clams were collected during sampling. The biggest (4.4 ± 0.81cm) and heaviest (43.4 ± 25.3 g) clams were recorded at Bobonao, the smallest was measured at Lucod (3.7 ± 0.65 cm), and the lightest clam was found at Kinablangan (26.8 ± 16.28 g). ANOVA detected significant differences (p < 0.05) in length and weight of mangrove clams between sites. Length-weight relationship of mangrove clam exhibited a strong positive relationship between length and weight; however, different values of slopes were noted. This is very common in bivalves because they are very sensitive to environmental changes. In general, the length-weight relationship of mangrove clam in Baganga, Davao Oriental, revealed allometric growth pattern.

Authors: Yamashita Daichi , Kinoshita Shinto , Sakaguchi Takeshi
Published: January 2023

We aimed to examine the annual changes in various physical characteristics of Japanese Division I (D1) Collegiate American footballers according to their positional groups. We measured body mass, and assessed performance in three gym tests (bench press, back squat, and power clean) and three field tests (40-yard dash, pro-agility shuttle, and broad jump) at each pre-season from 2014 to 2016 for players from a Japanese D1 university. Data from 55 players who completed ≥ 50% (three out of six) of the performance measurements in consecutive years were used in this analysis. Performance data across the two positional groups (skill players and linemen) were analyzed using pairwise t-tests to determine annual changes. The skill players’ body mass increased from their freshman to sophomore years (p < 0.05, Cohen’s d > 0.8), but not from their sophomore to junior or junior to senior years. The skill players’ 40-yard sprint time was shorter between all the annual comparisons (p < 0.05, d > 0.8). The linemen’s body mass increased from their freshman to sophomore years, and maintained from their sophomore to junior years and junior to senior years. There were significant improvements in strength and power outputs, but limited improvements in the pro-agility run and broad jump among most of the annual class comparisons for each positional group. These results indicate that annual improvements in the physical characteristics occur nonlinearly for Japanese D1 footballers. They will benefit from targeted strength and conditioning programs. However, the improvements of jumping and agility performances may be limited.

Authors: Qayoom Zunaira , Yaqoob Nausheen
Published: January 2023

Epidermoid cyst is a rare benign neoplasm of the ovary, lined by stratified squamous epithelium, lacking skin, adnexal structures, and other teratomatous elements. On the other hand, mucinous cystadenoma is one of the most common benign ovarian neoplasm that microscopically shows cystic areas lined by tall columnar mucinous epithelium. Although its coexistence with other tumours, such as mature cystic teratoma, squamous cell carcinoma, clear cell adenocarcinoma, Brenner’s tumour, serous cystadenoma, etc., have been reported, a combination of benign epidermoid cyst and mucinous cystadenoma has rarely been documented in literature. We report a case of coexistence of epidermoid cyst and mucinous cystadenoma in an ovarian cyst.

Cholera on high alert
Authors: Yamna Waseem  , Tarin Taha Ahmed , Kumar Anish
Published: January 2023

Madam, cholera is an acute bacterial infection of the intestine caused by the Vibrio cholera bacteria. Cholera spreads via the faecal-oral route and causes severe diarrhoeal infection. According to the World Health Organization, every year, three million to five million cases of cholera appear; among them 100,000-200,000 deaths occur globally [1]. The disease has been associated with seven pandemics in the past. The first pandemic of cholera occurred in 1817 [2]. In the 19th century, an outbreak of cholera in the Ganges delta, in India, led to the spread of cholera across the world. Six subsequent pandemics of cholera have since then killed millions of people. Later, in 1961, 1971, and 1991, outbreaks occurred in South Asia, Africa, and America respectively. Cholera is now endemic in most Southeast Asian countries, including Pakistan.

Un sacrilège lupin : Hákon Sigurðarson et le loup Fenrir
Authors: Meylan Nicolas
Published: January 2023

Le présent article revient sur l’expression en vieil islandais vargr í véum (« loup dans les sanctuaires »). En comparant différents récits de tels loups, notamment le mythe de l’enchaînement de Fenrir, l’article montre que plutôt qu’une vieille catégorie préchrétienne dénotant le sacrilège, l’expression doit être comprise comme un moyen discursif servant à marginaliser son objet. Elle devait ainsi s’avérer utile pour des auteurs médiévaux et donc chrétiens au moment où ceux-ci pensaient des problèmes tels que les hiérarchies sociales ou encore la centralisation de l’état.

Authors: Dandelot Chen , Grosjean Hélène
Published: January 2023

Cet article reprend la question de la traduction de la racine qrn dans le texte d’Habacuc 3. Le terme hébreu qui désigne à la base les « cornes » semble également pouvoir décrire un phénomène lumineux dans deux textes de la Bible hébraïque : Habacuc 3 et Exode 34. Le présent article propose, premièrement, d’analyser l’usage polysémique de qrn en Ha 3 en étudiant le rôle de cette racine comme attribut divin dans la Bible hébraïque ainsi que dans le Proche-Orient ancien. Deuxièmement, il replace l’utilisation polysémique de qrn dans le cadre socio-historique de rédaction du texte d’Ha 3. L’article propose enfin d’associer cette lecture à l’iconographie royale séleucide, qui utilise notamment les cornes rayonnantes dans leur propagande impériale, comme attesté dans la numismatique.

Authors: Ballal Muralidhar R , R Shrinidhi , M Ravi
Published: January 2023

Abstract

Tuttha Bhasma (TB) is an important metal based drug used in Ayurveda. It has widespread therapeutic uses in the treatment of metabolic disorders. Despite of its therapeutic utility there is a lack of data related to its safety. Hence the present study was undertaken to evaluate chronic toxicity of TB in Wistar albino rats. Chronic toxicity study was conducted as per AYUSH guidelines 170 and the parameters such as ponderal changes; biochemical, hematological and histopathological examinations were recorded. Based on the overall toxicity profile significant changes in the serum SGPT was noted in therapeutic and higher dose levels. We could see the serum cholesterol, SGOT, SGPT and albumin levels were significantly elevated at lower dose compared to the control group.  Histopathology of kidney showed cell infiltration and sections from liver showed mild to moderate fatty changes at higher dose levels. Histopathology of jejunum revealed there was mild to moderate epithelial erosion and shortening of epithelial layer. However overall toxicity study parameters showed the test drug TB is well tolerated and no dose dependent toxicity symptoms were observed. Based on the findings we could conclude that Tuttha bhasma is much safer to use at therapeutic dose level. However, at higher dose levels there are chances of organ toxicity.

Pain is relieved by analgesics that acts via modulating the central and peripheral pain mediators. Some of the analgesic has been reported to have a serious adverse effects when used in long-term treatments. Therefore, there is a need of developing a potent analgesic with minimal of no adverse effects. In the current study, quercetin and chrysin were evaluated for the analgesic activity in mice and rat by hyperalgesia (Eddy’s hot plate and Tail flick analgesiometer). Diclofenac and tramadol was used as a standard reference drugs. Male Swiss Albino mice and rats are divided into six groups and treated with vehicle (1% acacia), quercetin (40 mg/kg), chrysin (100 mg/kg), chrysin (200 mg/kg), diclofenac (10 mg/kg) and tramadol (10 mg/kg) orally. In the present study, diclofenac, tramadol, quercetin and chrysin significantly increased the tail flick latency in the tail flick pain model compared to control group. Chrysin showed remarkable analgesic activity at 200 mg/kg compared to 100 mg/kg in Tail Flick and Eddy’s hot plate model. The current study also reported that diclofenac has more analgesic activity than tramadol on both 1st and 7th day of treatment.

Positive shocks are associated with higher volatility than negative shocks. Policy makers should enhance exchange rate stability as well as making sure that inflation is suppressed so as to spur growth in the economy.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The study recommends that the government should also increase production of energy locally so as to reduce over reliance on imported oil, reduce the cost of production as well as suppressing the rate of inflation in the economy. This study recommends that Policy makers, and investors, need to take the macroeconomic variables into account when formulating financial and economic policies which are necessary to encourage investment.
WARTIME SEXUAL VIOLENCE OFFENCES: QUEST TO UNRAVEL THE ASSOCIATED CONSEQUENCES IN INTERNATIONAL LAW
Authors: Nwaogu Dandy Chidiebere
Published: January 2023

Despite increasing awareness and the huge condemnation of sexual violence during armed conflicts in the last decades, the bodies of women and girls continue to be regarded as spoils and bonus of war globally. Warring parties often engage the use of rape and other forms of sexual violence, as a tool to punish, terrorize and destroy targeted ethnic populations. In other instances, rebels and terrorist groups engage sexual violence as a weapon and strategy to advance their mundane objectives. the paper aims at examining the consequences and impact of wartime sexual violence on women, and men as well as the impact of such violence on their family and immediate society during armed conflicts. The paper finds that despite efforts made by the international community through the enactment of laws and resolutions in curtailing the scourge of sexual violence during wartime, rape and other forms of sexual violence are still being employed during armed conflict situations as weapon and tactics of war by soldiers and other armed groups. The paper relies on primary and secondary information such as International Conventions and Treaties, Books, Journal Articles, Judicial Precedents and Internet Materials. Flowing from the above, the paper concludes that the desired need to end sexual violence generated impunity is possible through sensitization and propaganda vide non-governmental organizations, accountability and coordinated enforcement through both domestic and international institutions. The paper further recommends that women and other victims of wartime violence who steps out to speak and report the crime of sexual violence committed against them should be protected and rewarded as this would lead to the massive reporting, arresting and prosecuting of perpetrators of conflict-related sexual violence.
ECOWAS COMMUNITY COURT OF JUSTICE: FEATURES AND CHALLENGES OF ITS HUMAN RIGHTS MANDATE
Authors: Nwaogu Dandy Chidiebere Nwaogu
Published: January 2023

The protection and promotion of human rights have remained a top priority of the international community for several decades. The violation of the fundamental rights of States and individuals have given rise to a plethora of conflicts both at the international and national level, thus, requiring effective laws and judicial institutions to accord protection of these rights to persons living within specified national territory. The ECOWAS Community Court of Justice since 2005 acquired jurisdiction over human rights matters, giving bold judgements in condemnation of breach of human rights by member parties of the ECOWAS Community. This paper aims at examining the unique human rights features of the ECOWAS Court of justice as well as the inherent challenges facing the court. The paper finds that despite the huge progress made by the court in receiving and deciding on human rights complaints from individuals and NGOs, the decisions of the court are hardly obeyed by member States and the court has no recognized institution to monitor and implement its decisions. The paper relies on primary and secondary sources of information such as International Conventions and Treaties, Books, Journal articles, Judicial Precedents and Internet materials. The paper concludes that the leadership of ECOWAS Community and the regional court must make concerted efforts in addressing the current challenges confronting the court, including monitoring and implementing the decisions of the ECOWAS Court.

Published: January 2023

Küresel anlamda yaşanan değişimlerle birlikte çok uluslu işletmelerin güç kazanmasına karşılık olarak yerel pazarda yaşanan güç kaybı, yerel üreticilerin ve yerel pazarda çalışanların ekonomik anlamda kaygılanmalarına neden olmuştur. Bu kapsamda yabancı ürünler yerine yerli ürünlerin satın alınmasının uygunluğunu ifade eden tüketici etnosentrizmi, içerisinde korku ve endişe barındıran bir kavramdır. Tüketiciler yalnızca temel ihtiyaçlarına yönelik akılcı seçimler değil aynı zamanda semboller aracılığıyla imajını ve hayat tarzlarını yansıtacak, duygularını harekete geçirecek tercihlerde bulunmaya başlamışlardır. Bu durum işletmelerin marka-tüketici ilişkisinde güçlü duygusal bağların kurulmasına yönelik çalışmalar yapmasına neden olmuştur. Marka tüketici ilişkilerine yönelik olarak marka aşkı, güçlü ve tutkulu bağları ifade eden kavram olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu kapsamda araştırmanın konusu tüketicilerin yabancı markaya karşı yerli ürün satın almasının uygunluğunu ifade eden tüketici etnosentrizmi kavramı ile markaya yönelik en güçlü duygusal bağ olan marka aşkı kavramı arasındaki ilişkinin ortaya çıkarılmasıdır. Araştırmanın temel amacı ise biri yerli biri yabancı olmak üzere aynı ürün kategorisindeki iki markaya yönelik marka aşkı ile tüketici etnosentrizmi arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymaktır. Araştırma bir yerli bir yabancı olmak üzere kahve markası kategorisinde bu markayı daha önce deneyimlemiş 332 katılımcı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çevrim içi toplanan veriler, SPSS programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmada elde edilen sonuçlara göre tüketici etnosentrizmi ile yabancı kahve markasına yönelik aşk arasında anlamlı negatif yönlü zayıf bir ilişki (p
Master Face Attacks on Face Recognition Systems

Due to its simplicity, face authentication is currently more frequently used than authentication using a personal identification number or an unlock pattern, especially on mobile devices. This has made it a seductive target for attackers who use a demonstration assault. Traditional presentation attacks employ the victim's face or victim footage. The existence of master faces—faces that match numerous enrolled templates in face recognition systems—has been demonstrated in earlier research, and their presence increases the effectiveness of presentation attacks. In this article, we present the results of a thorough investigation of latent variable evolution (LVE), a technique frequently employed to produce master faces. To determine the characteristics of master faces, an LVE algorithm was used in a variety of settings and with many databases and/or face recognition systems.
Review on Current Good Manufacturing Practice

Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) is procedures that must be followed in order to adhere to the recommendations made by the organisations in charge of authorising and regulating the manufacture and sale of pharmaceutical products. With the use of these rules, manufacturers can ensure that their goods are consistently of a high quality for the intended use from batch to batch. Cosmetics, nutritional supplements, food and beverages, and medical equipment are all subject to the GMP. However, the main goal of GMP is always to prevent harm from occurring to the end user. This includes making sure that the final product is free from contamination that its manufacture is consistent, and that it has been thoroughly documented. The staffs are well-trained, and the product has through more than just the last round of quality inspection. Typically, a quality management system is used effectively to assure GMP. To control pharmaceutical production and packaging processes, the term GMP was first used. The guide to GMP, commonly known as the Orange Guide, was created by the Medicine Inspector of the Department of Health and Social Security of England in cooperation with other concerned parties. The 1977 publication of the second version (52 pages, five appendices). In 1983, the third version (110 pages, 5 appendices) was released.

The mechanical strength of the parts developed by 3D printing is an area of study because of the technology's inherent nature, which has led to its emergence as a disruptive technology for fabricating industrial components. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of various 3D printing parameters on the tensile strength of PLA parts produced using 3D printing. Given their importance to commercial 3D printing, the parameters of nozzle temperature, bed temperature, printing speed, layer thickness, and printing direction have been studied in depth. Three-dimensionally printed specimens made from PLA, the most important material for FDM printing. A key objective of the research is to ascertain whether or not a 3D printing parameter can be used to optimize the investigated mechanical characteristic within a practical budget. Furthermore, trends that may be obvious and major factors in shaping the outcome will be investigated.
Contrasting Journal on Agriculture Systems Using the Internet of Things

Published: January 2023

Agriculture is being rebuilt by the Internet of Everything (IoT) Temperature, humidity, and soil fertility are monitored using remote sensors. A field interruption, exact location, and wild plant species can all be found through an IOT-based investigation. The same wireless sensors may be used to monitor the soil's pH rate, temperature, and water level. A distributed wireless network of soil moisture and temperature sensors placed in plant root zones make up the implementation, of an automated watering system powered by solar panels. The Arduino board, which serves as an IoT gateway, receives data from these sensors, which continually monitor the settings, and processes it. A smartphone app gives customers access to live sensor data and enables farmers to take appropriate steps to meet the needs of the land. Farmers can use robotic systems for pesticide spraying, cultivating, and other such activities. Shows a block diagram of proposed concepts for an Internet of Things system.
