Authors: Benca Kapitánová Karolína , Javorka Michal , Vida Rastislav , Halička Juraj , Králik Michal , Prídavková Zuzana , Žiak Peter
Published: February 2024

Purpose: To evaluate the value of AS OCT pachymetry as a method capable of detecting early differences between keratoconus, latent keratoconus and corneal astigmatism based on measurements of the parameters of corneal epithelial thickness and total corneal thickness.

Methods: This study analyzed 162 eyes of 89 patients examined with a Zeiss Cirrus 500 Anterior Segment Premier Module. OCT Pachymetry maps were created in 97 eyes with keratoconus, 33 eyes with latent (forme fruste) keratoconus, and 32 eyes with regular corneal astigmatism (≥ 1.5 Dcyl). The parameters of epithelial thickness (central epithelial thickness in the 2 mm zone, paracentral epithelial thickness in the 2–5mm zone, minimal and maximal epithelial thickness) and total corneal thickness (S-I in the 2–5 mm zone, SN-IT in the 2–5 mm zone, minimal thickness, max-min thickness) were analyzed in all pachymetry maps.

Results: Statistically significant differences were determined in 3 parameters of epithelial thickness (paracentral epithelial thickness in the 2–5 mm zone, minimal epithelial thickness, maximal epithelial thickness) between group A and group B (p < 0.001), as well as between group A and group C (p < 0.001). Statistically significant differences were determined in 3 parameters of total corneal thickness (S-I in the 2–5 mm zone, SN-IT in the 2–5 mm zone, minimal thickness) between group A and group B (p < 0.001), between group A and group C (p < 0.001), as well as between group B and group C (p < 0.001).

Conclusion: AS OCT Pachymetry maps are a reliable method capable of detecting differences between keratoconus and corneal astigmatism based on the comparison of paracentral epithelial thickness in the 2–5 mm zone, minimum epithelial thickness, and maximum epithelial thickness. Furthermore, based on the evaluation of the parameters of total corneal thickness, it is a method capable of defining the differences between keratoconus, latent keratoconus and corneal astigmatism (S-I in the 2–5 mm zone, SN-IT in the 2–5 mm zone and minimum thickness). In the statistical analysis, the most reliable parameters appear to be: the difference between groups A, B and C in the parameters S-I in the 2–5 mm paracentral zone, SN-IT in the 2–5 mm paracentral zone and in the values of minimum corneal thickness.

محمد علي جوهر ودفنه في المسجد الأقصى نموذجًا للعلاقات الهندية – الفلسطينية في فترة الانتداب البريطاني
Authors: محمد علي جاموس فريدة
Published: February 2024

تنطلق هذه الدراسة من إشكالية مفادها أنه على الرغم من أن محمد علي جوهر توفي في لندن، وهو هندي الجنسية، فإنه دُفن في القدس في أحد أروقة المسجد الأقصى بقرار من رئيس المجلس الإسلامي الأعلى أمين الحسيني، وسط ترحيب عربي وإسلامي، ومساهمة بريطانية، واعتراض يهودي. تحاول الدراسة الكشف عن الأسباب الكامنة وراء هذا الحدث؛ أي توضيح دور محمد علي في دعم القضية الفلسطينية، وتوطيد العلاقات الهندية - الفلسطينية. وتفترض الدراسة أنه لو لم يكن محمد علي مسلمًا لما اهتم بفلسطين وقضيتها وهو بعيد من الدار، وعنده من المشاغل القومية والوطنية ما يشغله عن أي أمرٍ آخر، والتأكيد على أن المسجد الأقصى ليس للفلسطينيين فحسب، إنما لمسلمي العالم أجمع.
الحجابة والحجّاب في إفريقية في العهد الحفصي

Published: February 2024

The coronavirus, or COVID-19, is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, first discovered in China in late 2019 and as of June 2021. Since then, the virus has spread worldwide. Indonesia has reported more than 31,000 cases of COVID-19 (Gugus Tugas Percepatan Penanganan COVID-19, 2020), making it the second-highest country in ASEAN, according to CNN Indonesia (2022). The global tally has surpassed 6.7 million cases, with over 395,000 fatalities. This pandemic has not only affected the health sector but has also impacted various other economic sectors, including the stock market. Developing countries like Indonesia have felt the repercussions, evident in the movements of the Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG). Studying the IHSG's trends before and during the COVID-19 pandemic is crucial as a guide for governments and companies in managing foreign fund flows, maintaining index stability, and preserving economic value (Nurmasari, 2020). In this context, the Indonesia Stock Exchange (PT. Bursa Efek Indonesia) and the Financial Services Authority (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan or OJK) have introduced new policies to prevent a decline in the capital market caused by Covid-19. The decision by the Indonesia Stock Exchange states that these measures are taken to reduce the spread of the virus.
EFFICIENCY OF A WIND PLANT IN REAL CONDITIONS WITH ADDITIONAL COSTS AND THE MARKET PRICE OF ELECTRICITY
Authors: Pokrovskiy K.
Published: February 2024

In its development, the global energy sector is constantly demonstrating the growth of electricity consumption. Traditional power plants in this process ensure an increase in greenhouse emissions and aggravation of climate problems, which are becoming more relevant every year. Against this background, modern alternative energy sources, namely wind power plants, contribute to reducing the impact of traditional power plants and encourage solving environmental problems. The development of global wind energy is accompanied by the growth of unit capacities of generators of wind power plants. The paper analyzes the efficiency of a wind power plant based on modern wind generators for predetermined location conditions, taking into account operating costs based on operational experience and based on the assessment of the power plant's participation in the balancing market of electricity with a waiver of the "green tariff". Calculations of the technical and economic indicators of an imaginary designed 4-unit wind power plant with various wind generators under the wind conditions of a predetermined industrial site located in the Carpathian region of Ukraine were carried out. The calculations take into account the modern typical characteristics of wind generators, additional operating costs and the estimated cost of electricity purchase of the station under the "green tariff" and in the conditions of a balancing electricity market to compare economic efficiency. In order to make an optimal design technical decision with a comparative assessment, three types of wind generators were determined for installation at an imaginary wind farm - Enercon E-175 EP5, Vestas V136-4.5 MW and Vestas V172-7.2 MW. In the conditions of the predetermined construction site of the projected wind farm on the Carpathian ridges of Ukraine, the measured and calculated annual probability distribution of wind speed according to the analytical Weibull distribution is applied, and the characteristics of the annual productivity of the 4-unit wind farm for the adopted three types of wind generators are given. The technical and economic characteristics were obtained in the work: capital investment, operating costs, characteristics of electricity production, the gross profit during the annual operation of the wind power plant with three options for installing wind generators was calculated, making it possible to estimate the payback time of the investment in the construction of the wind plant. So, for a 4-unit station with generators of the Enercon E-175 EP5, the payback period is 3.3 years, and with wind generators of the Vestas V136-4.5 MW - 3.4 years, as well as for the Vestas V172-7.2 MW in operating conditions of the "green tariff" and, respectively, 2.9 years, 2.9 years and 3.0 years under conditions of sale of electricity at balancing market prices. Additional operating costs for the disposal of worn wind turbine blades do not have a significant impact on the overall cost indicators and amount to 5-7% of the total costs.

Published: February 2024

The article examines teachers' perceptions of challenges in implementing the Single National Curriculum (SNC). Teachers working in primary schools were considered for data collection. For the collection of information regarding above mention issue, a five-point Likert scale was used. Collected information was tabulated and through an analysis of response data, key issues were identified, including difficulty understanding the SNC, preparing daily lessons, and concerns about teacher competence. Gender-based differences were not significant, but teachers' qualifications had a notable impact. Bachelor's degree holders reported higher challenges compared to those with master's or M. Phil./Ph.D. degrees. The findings suggest a need for tailored support and training to address these issues and improve SNC implementation, particularly for teachers with lower qualifications. The study emphasizes the importance of addressing these challenges to ensure effective curriculum delivery across different qualification levels.

Author Cannot Die! A Critical Evaluation of Ronald Barthes' Essay The Death of the Author
Authors: Haider Ali , Khan Muhammad Akbar , Sattar Iram
Published: February 2024

The status of the Author's identity in Literary Criticism regarding the ownership of meaning created in a text is still unresolved debate. Postmodern critics like Barthes and Foucault attribute no importance to the author in the matter of interpretation of his own literary work. The present research has focused on highlighting the significance of the existence of the Author for a comprehensive understanding of the text and proposed the notion of the coexistence of the Author and the Reader in order to retain the privilege of the Author as well as to circumvent misleading interpretations on the part of the readers by aligning his interpretation with the thought of the author. The study concludes that it is the author who directs readers' understanding of the text and adds to their knowledge and that the readers cannot be left alone to stagger between their indecisive interpretations of a text.
A corpus-based approach to English loanwords
Authors: Bogunović Irena
Published: February 2024

Unadapted English loanwords have become part of informal communication in many languages, including Croatian. Their use is often motivated by the lack of adequate native equivalents, exposure to English through the media, but also by the prestigious status of the English language. A vast body of research has been dedicated to lexical borrowing, especially from English. At the same time, corpus analyses have mostly been conducted on smaller, ad hoc corpora. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to present the database of English loanwords in Croatian. The database was developed by algorithmic and manual classification of words from the Corpus of Croatian news portals, ENGRI, and provides a list of 9,452 unadapted English loanwords together with the data on their absolute and relative frequencies. The analysis showed that most loanwords (75.85%) appear less than 50 times, while a total of 44.78% of words appear 10 times or less. The biggest drop in the number of loanwords is observed in the categories of occurrence above 500, while only 27 words appear 5,000 times or more. The most frequent English loanword in the corpus is ‘show’ with 80,805 occurrences, which is 0.0122% of all words in the corpus. The analysis of loanwords that occur more than 5,000 times showed that most of them have Croatian translation equivalents,which confirms the role of the media in the introduction of new words. In addition to providing an insight into the occurrence of English loanwords in Croatian, this database also represents a valuable contribution to Croatian computational linguistics resources and enables future experimental research by providing the data on word frequency.

Korelacija između agentivnosti i odgovornosti u kemalističkom diskursu
Authors: Turanović Mirsad
Published: February 2024

U radu se analizira strategija mistifikacije agentivnosti u kemalističkom diskursu na primjeru novinskog teksta u kojem se govori o zabrani nošenja marame na univerzitetima u Republici Turskoj. Manipulativni se potencijal jezika najzornije ostvaruje u manipulativnim diskursima koji predstavljaju osnovno sredstvo reprodukcije totalitarnih ideologija. Jedna od takvih ideologija je i ideologija kemalističke elite u Turskoj koja je svoju hegemoniju gradila i branila kako upotrebom raznih oblika prisile (prijeki sudovi, državni udari, razne zabrane i sl.), tako i reprodukcijom kemalističke ideologije kroz obrazovni sistem i medije. Zabrana nošenja marame na univerzitetima i u drugim javnim ustanovama ukinuta je 2013. godine ali je pitanje pokrivanja žena i dalje aktualno u društveno-političkom životu Turske. Glavni zaključak rada jeste da se osnovna manipulativna strategija u analiziranom tekstu zasniva na prikrivanju agentivnosti i, konsekventno tome, negiranju odgovornosti kemalističke elite za diskriminaciju nad pokrivenim studenticama. Taj zaključak potvrđuje opravdanost i nužnost uključivanja lingvističke aparature u istraživanja društvenih fenomena.

The involvement of parents in the education of their children-students is a growing trend, linked to later socialisation. However, the question of how parents demonstrate their involvement at the university level is not well researched. This paper aims to identify the types of parental involvement in the education of university students and describe their distinctive features. The article presents the results of an empirical study on parental involvement in the educational process of university students. Based on cluster analysis of survey data from first-year students at nine Russian universities across different regions of the country (N = 5012), three types of parental involvement were identified: ‘restless’, ‘liberal’, and ‘passive’. ‘Restless’ parents are characterised by a higher level of control, monitoring academic performance and attendance. Parents who are considered ‘liberal’ tend to give their children more autonomy and take an active interest in their achievements and problems at university. On the other hand, ‘passive’ parents are not involved in the educational process at university. The study analysed the types of parental involvement based on family characteristics, experience of school graduation, and university enrolment.

The future engineers training system should include a special target function of professionally significant qualities developing, which are necessary along with professional competencies, both for work in the chosen field of activity and for further career growth. The professional education often turns out to be formal, and the training of engineers is not effective enough, without clear goals.The purposes of the article are the importance substantiate of the future engineers professional upbringing, to identify the organization problems at the professionally significant qualities formation and to determine their resolution conditions for the engineering education system. The work examines research questions: what does professional upbringing to engineering education contribute, what professionally significant qualities complement the knowledge component in the competencies of future engineers.Materials and methods. The article provides an overview of scientific research and the state of the professional upbringing of future engineers issue. The theoretical basis of the study is the decomposition and isolation of the engineering education system important component – the education of professionally significant qualities with its special meaning and functionality.Results and conclusions. Discipline, responsibility, independence and self-organization can be considered as professionally significant personality traits of a future engineer, including those that determine his uniqueness in the profession. The most important tasks of professional education are assessing the feasibility of professional activity certain aspects for a student, determining and setting his priorities, and developing his dominant professionally significant qualities. Training a competitive specialist is possible only in a competitive environment. It is proposed to use team management as a mechanism for a competitive environment implementing, and an option for the evaluative-effective component of the education system implementing as an element of this environment is shown. It is noted that the dominant relationships in education can be supplemented by the dominant awareness and relationships in the information space, for example, at the digital educational cluster. The formation of professionally significant qualities in the engineering education system can be allocated into a separate work plan of a unified work upbringing program or of a separate professional training program.
Concept of “Quality” in Higher Education: From Offline to Online Mode

Published: February 2024

Quality concept, due to its multifaceted and polyfunctional nature, is in use in different areas. The term started its way in the field of higher education in 1980s, but numerous discussions on how to define it have been ongoing ever since. Considering rapid growth of online practices in universities and the fact that there is still no conventional system of quality assurance and evaluation for online mode, the aforementioned problems are becoming even more topical. In the article with an aim to grasp meaning of quality online, its theoretical and practical levels are correlated. Papers summarizing traditional approaches to rethinking quality concept in higher education and tools of practical work with quality in online and offline modes are selected as a basis for analysis. A transition from dissipated definitions into the systems of their aggregation is traced. Elements of quality understanding in offline mode potentially applicable to online are identified. The main differences between categories of quality assurance in online and offline are outlined, along with the mechanisms of their portability from one mode to another. Basing on the analysis conducted, an approach of working with quality of university online programmes synchronizing theoretical and practical levels is offered. This paper may be of interest for researchers in the field of higher education and university managers, whose interests concern questions of internal quality assurance and quality culture.

Objectives. The purpose of the article is to build different models of bagging, to compare the accuracy of their forecasts for the test period against standard models, and to draw conclusions about the possibility of further use of the bagging technique in time series modeling.

Methods.This study examines the application of bagging to the random component of a time series formed after removing the trend and seasonal part. A bootstrapped series combining into a new random component is constructed. Based on the component thus obtained, a new model of the series is built. According to many authors, this approach allows the accuracy of the time series model to be improved by better estimating the distribution.

Results. The theoretical part summarizes the characteristics of the different bagging models. The difference between them comes down to the bias estimate obtained, since the measurements making up the bootstraps are not random. We present a computational experiment in which time series models are constructed using the index of monetary income of the population, the macroeconomic statistics of the Russian Federation, and the stock price of Sberbank. Forecasts for the test period obtained by standard, neural network and bagging-based models for some time series are compared in the computational experiment. In the simplest implementation, bagging showed results comparable to ARIMA and ETS standard models, while and slightly inferior to neural network models for seasonal series. In the case of non-seasonal series, the ARIMA and ETS standard models gave the best results, while bagging models gave close results. Both groups of models significantly surpassed the result of neural network models.

Conclusions.When using bagging, the best results are obtained when modeling seasonal time series. The quality of forecasts of seigniorage models is somewhat inferior to the quality of forecasts of neural network models, but is at the same level as that of standard ARIMA and ETS models. Bagging-based models should be used for time series modeling. Different functions over the values of the series when constructing bootstraps should be studied in future work.

Ascorbic acid (AA) plays roles in many biological functions, such as participating in the production of collagen by taking a role in proline and lysine hydroxylation. AA works by removing the reactive oxygen species, thus removing the adhesion of neutrophils to endothelium. The present study investigates the protective effects of AA on the testis tissue damage induced by paracetamol in rats. Thirty-two male rats were equally divided into four groups, with eight rats in each. Group (1) regular control group, group (2) was received 500 mg/kg/b.w. of AA orally for two weeks, group (3) was received 500 mg/kg/b.w. of paracetamol orally for two weeks, group (4) was treated with the AA (500 mg/kg/b.w.) and paracetamol (500 mg/kg/b.w.) orally for two weeks. The histopathological investigations of the testis tissues from the paracetamol group showed atrophy and degeneration of seminiferous tubules with an absence of spermatozoa, presence of cell debris, and loss of the Sertoli cells in some seminiferous tubules when compared with control animals. The testis tissues from a protective group showed less damage in the tubules and germ cells when compared with the paracetamol group. This study indicates that AA protects against paracetamol-induced testis damage in adult male rats.
