On Triangle-Free Graphs Maximizing Embeddings of Bipartite Graphs
Authors: Gorovoy Dmitriy , Grzesik Andrzej , Jaworska Justyna
Published: June 2024

In 1991 Győri, Pach, and Simonovits proved that for any bipartite graph $H$ containing a matching avoiding at most $1$ vertex, the maximum number of copies of $H$ in any large enough triangle-free graph is achieved in a balanced complete bipartite graph. In this paper we improve their result by showing that if $H$ is a bipartite graph containing a matching of size $x$ and at most $\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{x-1}$ unmatched vertices, then the maximum number of copies of $H$ in any large enough triangle-free graph is achieved in a complete bipartite graph. We also prove that such a statement cannot hold if the number of unmatched vertices is $\Omega(x)$.

Published: June 2024

The Green Economy, a methodology that supports the harmonious interaction between humans and nature, has been gaining attention since 1989. It focuses on alternative energy sources, sustainable agriculture, wildlife protection, and environmental policies. Kenya’s forest cover is below the global minimum of 10%, and deforestation is increasing at a rate of 5,000 hectares per annum. The research aims to enhance opportunities for green economy development in the forestry sector while minimizing challenges and to bridge the gap between Green Economy development and the forestry sector, address weak policy coordination among ministries and government agencies, and compare green economy statuses with related forest policy analysis. The research uses diverse policies to guide green economy practices in the forestry sector, aiming to interlink them and reduce conflicts. The research was conducted within nine counties in the Lake Victoria Basin Region. The results revealed disparities in gender participation across various preferred green economy activities, with women in rural areas being significantly involved in the initiation of community management programs; however, there was a notable gender disparity in the decision-making process, with women only contributing 20.2% compared to the male counterpart with 79.8%. The main sources of funds for green activities are from internal budgets of organizations (36.5%), businesses (19.1%) and contributions from family and chamas (15.9%), all geared towards building the green economy. The research reveals that the green economy reduces Kenya’s natural resource pressure, boosts economic growth, and improves business competitiveness. However, the proportion of different genders in the green economy is undervalued, especially in developing countries. Governments must act to reduce gender inequality in labour markets to ensure the benefits of the green economy are realized. In conclusion, the green economy presents new opportunities for women. Still, they may be deprived of the potential benefits unless governments implement structural reforms to reduce gender inequality in labour markets

Authors: Nazarska Georgeta
Published: June 2024

This article deals with post-communist period in Bulgaria and particularly with the social change on the example of sports elites. It is studying the transformation of old (totalitarian) sports elites into new (capitalist) ones, changes in their symbolic capital and content of new ‘reputational elites’, and the legacy of socialist sport in the transi-tion period. Social history and social anthropology approaches are used in order to apply elite theory and concept of Bourdieu for symbolic and social capital. The re-search is based on primary official and statistical documents and on oral standardized interviews.
Provocations Against the Cultural Mission of Dr. Albert Long
Authors: Pileva Maria
Published: June 2024

The paper, on one hand, outlines Dr. Long's contribution to Bulgarian culture – sup-port for the Сhurch issue, translation and editing of literature, including the Bible in the New Bulgarian language, support of Bulgarian students for their studies at Robert College, defense of the National cause after the suppression of the April Uprising. On the other hand, it pays special attention to the obstacles to his mission and the provo-cations by the Greek Patriarchate, the Russian Vice-Consulate, the Constantinople censorship and the later attempts to ignore what he achieved. Such actions distort the image of the American missionary's educational efforts, and the paper presents ar-chival materials and publications revealing the motivations and intentions behind them.

Authors: GOVINA JAMES KUDJO , NEMETH ROBERT
Published: June 2024

The study examined the effect of stand composition and soil quality on radial growth of Quercus cerris (L.) grown in Vas County in Hungary. Twelve trees were randomly harvested, and the sampled wood pieces were extracted from the breast-height portion. Wood strips were machine-sanded, scanned for analysis in ImageJ. Climate data were obtained from a database of the Hungarian National Metrological Service. Mean annual-ring width was larger for trees harvested from mixed species planting site. Overall, annual-ring sizes for trees harvested from pure species stand that thrive on poor soils exhibited wider variation (62%). The same plot of trees had a latewood width variation of 82%. Precipitation correlated positively with annual-ring size with weak to moderate coefficient (0.13 – 0.32), whereas maximum temperature negatively correlated with annual-ring size on moderate coefficient (-0.42)

The Effectiveness of Differentiated Instruction in Improving Math Achievement for Students with Diverse Learning Needs
Authors: Miral- Benecario Mary Ann
Published: June 2024

This study presents the outcomes of a thematic analysis based on responses from participants, shedding light on effectiveness of differentiated instruction in improving math achievement for students with diverse learning needs. There were eight (8) teachers from Talomo District, Davao City who participated in the study. This study made use of a phenomenological approach to extract the ideas from the participants. The participants were purposely selected as representatives from the same district. The study identifies three core challenges teachers encounter, namely: grappling with diverse materials and resources in teaching, managing the classroom effectively, and providing varying levels of support to students with diverse learning needs. To address these challenges, teachers resort to two primary coping mechanisms: participating in professional learning communities (PLCs) and fostering increased parental involvement in the educational process. Furthermore, participants emphasize the importance of implementing advanced evaluation methods for educational improvement. In summary, this thematic analysis offers insights on the importance of implementing advanced evaluation methods for educational improvement. These findings hold significance for educational stakeholders seeking to better support teachers, promote collaboration, and enhance the educational experience for students. For principals and school heads, it is essential to foster receptiveness to the challenges faced by teachers in implementing differentiated instruction and the coping mechanisms they employ. Understanding these needs and struggles can guide school leaders in providing the necessary support, resources, and professional development opportunities.

Published: June 2024

Heavy metal exposure has raised concerns about increasing female infertility. This research delved into the protective effects of composite teas against aluminum-induced ovarian toxicity in female Wistar rats. The increase in female infertility index due to heavy metal exposure has been reported to have steadily increased over the years. This study investigated the protective effects of composite teas on aluminum-induced ovarian toxicity in adult female wistar rat. Thirty (30) adult female wistar rats (180g - 220g) were divided into 6 groups (n = 5). Group A received feed pellets and distilled water; Group B received 150mg/kg AlCl3; Group C received 150mg/kg AlCl3 and 5ml/kg of Green tea; Group D received 150mg/kg AlCl3 and 5ml/kg of Moringa tea; Group E received 150mg/kg AlCl3 and 5ml/kg of Turmeric tea and Group F received 150mg/kg AlCl3 and 5ml/kg of Lipton black tea. Conversely, composite tea administration notably improved antioxidant levels, hormone profiles, and preserved ovarian structures. This suggests composite teas mitigate oxidative stress-induced negative changes, improving ovarian histology, hormones. Conclusively, Composite teas possess the therapeutic efficacies to significantly limit the degree of oxidative stress-induced negative changes resulting in improved outcome of histological, hormonal and biochemical parameters of the ovary.

Authors: Tiwari Pradyumn , M. Alagusundaram  , Mishra Namrata , Bhattacharya Vijeta , keshri Priyanka
Published: June 2024

This study aimed to develop a novel transferosomal gel formulation loaded with Tamarindus indica extract for its anti-inflammatory potential. Transfersomes, being ultra-flexible vesicles, were chosen to encapsulate the extract due to their ability to penetrate deep into the skin layers, enhancing drug delivery. The formulation was optimized using a varying phospholipid concentration, ethanol content, and sonication time as independent variables. The optimized transferosomal gel exhibited desirable physicochemical properties such controlled drug release. The transferosomal gel was evaluated for its anti-inflammatory effect using carrageenan-induced paw edema model in rats. The results demonstrated a significant reduction in paw volume and inflammation in rats treated with the Tamarindus indica extract loaded transferosomal gel compared to control groups. Additionally, the transferosomal gel exhibited good skin compatibility and stability upon storage. Thus, the developed Tamarindus indica extract loaded transferosomal gel holds promise as a potent anti-inflammatory formulation for topical application, offering a potential alternative to conventional anti-inflammatory therapies.

Authors: Delano Enggista Hendriko , Kushartanti Wara , Arovah Novita Intan , Shafi Sabda Hussain As , Nugroho Wahyu Aji
Published: June 2024

Introduction: The research carried out is a large research project that examined two different massage methods on many variables so that they can determine their effect on variables on a wider scale, namely pain, range of movement (ROM), and low back function. Pain and ROM variables have been published in different journals, and their acute effects are only known after treatment and the results are effective. This study examined the low back function variable 24, 48, and 72 hours after treatment.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Tepurak and deep tissue massaging with stretching (DTMS) on low back function in nonspecific low back pain (NSLBP) and conduct a comparison of the effectiveness of Tepurak versus DTMS for low back function in NSLBP.
Methods: This research is a quasi-experiment using a pre-test/post-test design to determine the difference in scores before and after treatment. The variable measured involved the low back function using the Oswestry Disability Index. Measurements were carried out four times at pre-test, 24, 48, and 72 hours after the treatments. This study used two different sample groups. The research sample consisted of 42 NSLBP sufferers who were randomly divided into two groups, A and B. Group A received Tepurak treatment, while Group B received DTMS treatment. These treatments were carried out in one treatment session.
Results: The results of the different treatments for the low back function variables in the Tepurak treatment have a p-value of 0.000. The results of the low back function variables in the DTMS treatment have a p-value of 0.000. The results of the comparison test of Tepurak versus DTMS therapy for the low back function variable had a p-value of 0.771.
Conclusion: Both Tepurak and DTMS are effective in improving low back function in NSLBP cases. In comparison between Tepurak and DTMS, there was no significant difference in the effectiveness in improving low back function in NSLBP cases.
Centenary Paper: Exclamations and their Marks in the Poetry of Federico García Lorca
Authors: BONADDIO FEDERICO
Published: June 2024

In the poetry of Federico García Lorca, the use of exclamation marks and, consequently, of exclamations, is extensive. What is interesting is that the poet should have had recourse to punctuation so evocative of the speaking and feeling subject at a time when dehumanization was the governing principle in art. This paper explores the way in which Lorca handles exclamations and what it says about the extent to which he submitted to or resisted dehumanization in his work. It begins by quantifying Lorca’s use of exclamations before moving on to consider its evolution across his principal poetic collections.

Evaluating the effect of vitamin D3 supplementation on DKK-3 serum for third-stage chronic kidney patients
Authors: Kamal Hiba R. , Allwsh Thikra A.
Published: June 2024

Vitamin D3 helps to reduce oxidative stress levels, as does Dickkopf-3 (DKK-3) glycoprotein, which is released in the kidney’s tubular membrane during stress and helps promote tubulointerstitial fibrosis. The aim is to investigate how vitamin D supplementation affects serum DKK-3 levels and biochemical indicators of renal function in CKD patients in stage III. The study had inclusion criteria for 180 participants of both sexes, aged between 20 and 35 years. They were divided into 3 groups: 60 healthy participants as control, 60 CKD patients in stage III (without vitamin D3 supplements), and 60 others (with three months of 5,000 IU of weekly vitamin D3 supplements). DKK-3 levels in serum, vitamin D3, and parathyroid hormone were examined, and kidney function was tested. Findings indicated a significant increase in levels of DKK-3 serum for patients in the 2 and 3 groups with CKD compared with control. Additionally, outcomes revealed significantly lower DKK-3 (41%) in the third group of patients who took vitamin D compared to the second group (120%) without vitamin D supplements. There was also an improvement in several kidney functions for the third group, and the relationships revealed a significant inverse association between the levels of vitamin D3 and serum DKK3. Also, there is a significant inverse association with urea and creatinine levels; additionally, there is a significant positive association with glomerular filtration rate and calcium. In conclusion, DKK-3 may be a potential biomarker for the development of CKD. Furthermore, vitamin D administration improved kidney function and DKK-3 levels in individuals with stage III CKD. As a result, vitamin D can assist in reducing the development of chronic kidney disease.
Quand la stérilité interroge la nature des liens familiaux. Hommage à Suzanne Lallemand
Authors: Bonnet Doris
Published: June 2024

Malgré des taux de fécondité élevés, l’Afrique subsaharienne est confrontée à d’importants taux d’infécondité. De nombreux couples infertiles n’ont pas accès aux services de santé et sont à la recherche de solutions diverses (consommation de plantes ou pratiques rituelles de fécondité). Dans cet environnement, l’injonction à la procréation dans le mariage reste prégnante et les femmes stériles peuvent être soupçonnées de sorcellerie. La famille peut leur confier des enfants en âge d’être scolarisés ou nés d’une mère décédée lors de l’accouchement. Fondé sur des pratiques anciennes de déplacement d’enfants étudiées par Suzanne Lallemand, le confiage est aujourd’hui remis en cause par de jeunes femmes citadines plutôt aisées qui se dirigent vers des techniques médicales de procréation. Ces changements sociaux interrogent la nature des liens conjugaux et familiaux, le sentiment maternel, la question de la filiation et de la parentalité ainsi que les enjeux des alliances matrimoniales. Dans ce contexte, les textes de S. Lallemand apportent un socle de savoirs et de connaissances qui permet de traverser avec pertinence les réalités contemporaines.
Une force fragile : ambiguïtés des IA « féminines » contemporaines
Authors: Bréan Simon
Published: June 2024

Cet article vise à mieux cerner la façon dont des fictions audiovisuelles contemporaines s’emparent d’une dynamique liant genre et IA. Tout se passe comme si le recours au féminin constituait un point d’accès métaphorique à la réflexion sur l’émergence d’une conscience et d’une puissance attribuables à l’IA : « la femme » comme symbole de l’« IA émergente ». Nous tâcherons donc d’interroger ce que l’assignation d’un genre féminin aux personnages d’IA fait aux représentations de l’Intelligence Artificielle, à la fois en termes d’amorces narratives et de possibilités de caractérisation, pour déterminer la portée exacte de l’enpowerment que ces fictions proposent.
Meaningless Gods and Posthuman Companions
Authors: Thompson Jana
Published: June 2024

Universalist approaches to AI such as large expert systems in the 1990s and present-day large language models seek to create an omniscient form of artificial intelligence that is deeply colonialist and represent a loss of meaning in the sheer conglomeration of information without context or connection. This work explores these approaches to AI and contrasts them with the posthuman companion, AI systems created as storytellers, memorials, and creatively and ethically driven agents rooted in the lived experiences of their creators. Following a survey of agential systems, they are then examined using postcolonial and feminist lenses to look at the possibilities for our shared stories and potential futures.

L’étude explore les changements subis par le centre en examinant les activités et services offerts ainsi que le public fréquentant les douches. La méthodologie comprend une approche qualitative avec observation participante, entretiens et questionnaires aux usagers. Les résultats mettent en lumière des pratiques innovantes caractéristiques de l’expérience à Via Agliè. En conclusion, cette analyse invite à réfléchir sur la gestion urbaine post-pandémique, l’innovation sociale et le rôle crucial de la citoyenneté active, adoptant une perspective critique.
Douches pour tous ?
Authors: Roche Elise
Published: June 2024

Cet article aborde les enjeux de l’externalisation de l’accès à des douches à Lyon. En traitant le cas d’une grande ville où ne subsiste qu’un seul bains-douches, l’article explore les effets de la prise en charge de l’accès à l’hygiène par des accueils de jour, des lieux associatifs fréquentés par des personnes sans-domicile fixe, subventionnés par la puissance publique. Ce cas d’étude est illustratif de dynamiques plus larges affectant les politiques sociales locales, où l’on assiste à une recomposition de l’action publique par sa « démunicipalisation » et une prise en charge par d’importantes associations caritatives d’origine religieuse. L’accès aux douches, central dans les parcours des personnes sans-domicile fixe, se trouve réduit par ce processus d’externalisation. L’organisation spatiale témoigne de la moindre importance accordée aux douches, comparativement aux autres services des accueils de jours. L’accès à ces douches, comme leur entretien, est en outre soumis à des organisations du travail constamment précaires, reposant sur des travailleur·euse·s sociaux·ales aux conditions de travail dégradées et à la présence de bénévoles indispensables pour le fonctionnement des lieux.

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

A common surgical technique for gallbladder disorders is laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), which has the benefits of less postoperative discomfort and quicker recovery. The purpose of this retrospective research was to assess postoperative outcomes and complications in patients having laparoscopic correction.

Methods:

In total, 200 patients who had LC at the tertiary care center between 2017 and 2022 were the subjects of a retrospective investigation. We gathered and examined data on preoperative conditions, surgical specifics, postoperative results, and demographics.

Results:

Notable findings from the study were as follows: (1) The average age of the patients was 47.5 years (±12.3), and there were strong correlations (P < 0.001) between age and problems. (2) Significant correlations were found between many covariates and postoperative outcomes, such as a 10% readmission rate and a mean hospital stay of 3.6 days (±1.2) (P < 0.05). (3) Different relationships were seen between the complications (P values ranging from 0.021 to <0.001), including wound infections (6%) and bile duct injuries (2.5%).

Conclusion:

To enhance patient care, a thorough assessment and focused treatments are required. This study sheds light on the frequency of postoperative problems and outcomes in patients receiving LC.

abstract

This review examines the potential of yoga as a non-pharmacological intervention for the care and control of a person with dementia. Six research articles were retrieved from Medline databases (search conducted on March, 2022) using the terms ‘Yoga’ and ‘Dementia’/‘Alzheimer’s’/‘Mild Cognitive Impairment’. The review identified is limited to moderate evidence for yoga’s effectiveness in improving cognitive activities, memory capacity, quality of life and daily living activities in individuals with dementia. Further high-quality further robust and rigorous research is warranted to draw definitive conclusions about yoga’s role in dementia care.
Determinants of Maternal Mortality in Edo South Senatorial District, Nigeria
Authors: John-Abebe Rebecca Oghale , Osirike Animam Beecroft
Published: June 2024

Nigeria, like most sub-Saharan African countries, has a high number of maternal deaths during pregnancy, delivery, and post-partum. Each time a woman gets pregnant in Nigeria, she is faced with the probability of dying due to maternal issues. This paper seeks to determine the factors influencing the incidence of maternal mortality associated with four levels (individual, household, medical, and community) among pregnant women in the Southern Senatorial District of Edo State, Nigeria. The respondents comprised of adult women of reproductive age (15–49 years). STATA version 13 was used to conduct multinomial logistic regression for data analysis. The data analysis was carried out using 1546 households in 29 communities in the district. The regression model depicts that maternal mortality outcome is higher in the rural region of the study area. Education, parity, mode of delivery, and history of pregnancy complications are factors influencing maternal mortality in the study area. Rural areas record higher maternal mortality than urban areas. This study recommends that spatially identified factors in the district affecting the best maternal outcome should be addressed, especially in grassroots government intervention programs and policies for overall improvement in living and health standards of the people in the district.
NATO wobec polityki militarnej Rosji
Authors: Ochyra Patryk , Macender Marian , Zygo Karol
Published: June 2024

NATO and Russia have been in a strategic relationship for a long time, which is fraught with tensions and conflicts. Russia’s contemporary military policy, especially after the annexation of Crimea in 2014, raises concerns and requires systematic analysis in the context of NATO’s response. The aim of the article is to present the identification of NATO’s actions towards Russia’s military policy and a comparative analysis of military power. The first part of the publication presents the importance of military power in current conflicts. Next, the Alliance’s attitude towards military operations in Ukraine was described. The final section compares the military strength of both sides in order to understand the dynamics of their relationship and the possible implications for global security. The analysis is based on a set of data on the military potential of NATO and Russia, taking into account aspects such as the number of soldiers, military equipment, defense budgets and other factors determining military strength. The research problem was formulated: Does NATO’s military strength and the attitude towards Russia’s military policy affect global security? According to the research problem, the main research hypothesis was formulated: The military power of Russia and NATO reflects complex international relations and the dynamics of contemporary world politics.

Şâfiî’nin Kitâbü Siyeri’l-Evzâî Adlı Eserinde Hanefilere Yönelttiği Eleştiriler
Authors: Topçu Muhammet Taha , Köse Saffet
Published: June 2024

İslam Hukuku bir ilim dalı olarak ortaya konduğu devirden beri çeşitli ihtilaflara sahne olmuştur. Bunların ilk yazılı örneklerinden ve en ilgi çekici olanlarından biri de devletler hukuku alanında Evzâî’nin (ö. 157/774) Ebu Hanife’ye (ö. 150/767) karşı kaleme aldığı Siyerü’l-Evzâî adlı reddiyedir. Bu reddiye ve daha sonra Ebu Yusuf’un (ö. 182/798) ona karşı yazdığı reddiyesi Şâfiî’nin (ö. 204/820) ikisinin görüşleri üzerine değerlendirmeler içeren Kitâbü Siyeri’l-Evzâî adlı eseriyle günümüze ulaşmıştır. Şâfiî eserinde bazı meselelerde Evzâî’ye bazılarında Ebu Yusuf ve hocasına katılmış ancak özellikle Ebu Yusuf ve hocasına karşı oldukça detaylı eleştirilerde bulunmuştur. Evzâî’den günümüze ulaşan tek fıkıh metni olması sebebiyle onun fıkhî düşüncesi üzerine yapılmış akademik çalışmalarda eser temel kaynak olmuş ancak Şâfiî’nin bu metin üzerindeki faaliyeti hak ettiği ilgiyi görmemiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı söz konusu eserde Şâfiî’nin Ebu Yusuf ve hocasına yönelttiği eleştirilerin incelenerek elde edilen verilerin analizini ortaya koymaktır. Çalışma Şâfiî’nin eleştirilerinin altı temelde gerçekleştiğini göstermektedir. Bunlar rivayetlere yönelik eleştiriler, nassların yorumlanmasına dair eleştiriler, kıyas eleştirileri, aklî itirazlar ve çelişki iddialarıdır.
