Study of the effect of heavy metals and differences of light / dark cycle in the melatonin hormone protein Clock and growth of Neurospora crassa fungi
Authors: Al-Sardar Noor , Ibrahim Khalil Mohammad
Published: May 2022

It was using Neurospora crassa as a model organism to study the biological clock. Due to its use for more than 50 years in the circadian rhythm Study, this biological cycle has been studied by growing it on a Vogel's medium with a constant temperature and different light cycles (continuous light, light to dark, continuous darkness) with different concentrations of heavy metals (Lead Nitrate II, Zinc sulfate, Cadmium chloride, iron chloride III). It was also Measured protein CLOCK and hormone Melatonin By using Elisa Kit. Neurospora crassa was cultured in a thin layer of Vogel's medium using growth tubes (tube race) which grow in one direction only and are distributed by forming conida bands on the medium surface; each band represents one cycle circadian. However, examining Nerospora conidia on growth tubes is a simple but powerful tool for studying the circadian clock and detecting the effect of heavy metals and light on it. At the same time, the results indicated an apparent decrease of CLOCK protein at continuous light compared to light/dark for all treatments. It also recorded a rise in melatonin concentration in continuous darkness and decreased with continuous lighting. The results of the growth tubes also indicated a decrease in growth at continuous light compared to light/dark. Heavy metals also affected Neurospora crassa, as it had the highest inhibition when using lead nitrate II compared to iron chloride III. The study aimed to investigate the effect of heavy metals and differences in light and darkness on the biological clock of the fungus Neurospora crassa.Conclusion the effect on the biological clock disturbances of Neurospora crassa

Diversity of cultivable microorganisms associated with Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) and their potential for plant growth-promotion
Authors: Castillo José A. , Conde Giovanna , Claros Mayra , Ortuño Noel
Published: May 2022

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) has grown since ancestral times in the Andean mountains and Altiplano, which are the center of origin of this pseudo-cereal. The interaction of Quinoa with native microorganisms may have contributed to the success of this plant in very adverse climatic and soil conditions. This study addressed the microbial diversity associated with Quinoa plants growing in traditional lands. We employed a cultivable-dependent approach to characterize the communities and identify bacterial strains with potential application in agriculture. We identified bacterial isolates belonging to phyla Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Proteobacteria. The genera Bacillus and Rhizobium/Agrobacterium were the predominant groups in the Quinoa bacterial communities, while various Trichoderma species were also found in the fungi group. The plant growth-promoting ability of selected bacterial strains was assessed by culturing them on media and the in planta test. We used different assays to test the capabilities of the isolates for nitrogen fixation, phosphorus solubilization, and production of the phytohormone indole-3-acetic acid. We inoculated Quinoa seeds with some Bacillus strains and then evaluated plant growth and grain production. Plants inoculated with bacterial strains usually show increased growth parameters and grain yield. Altogether, this work reveals that Quinoa harbors many diverse cultivable bacteria and fungi, which could be used as biological amendments to promote plant growth in a chemical-free way. Avoiding chemical fertilizers helps reduce environmental pollution and maintains the organic character of Quinoa production. International Quinoa markets highly appreciate the organic quality of Quinoa.

Актуальність. Значний вплив на розвиток первинної відкритокутової глаукоми (ПВКГ) має розвиток ендотеліальної дисфункції внаслідок її здатності провокувати вазоконстрикцію та ішемію зорового нерва, що прискорює прогресування глаукомної оптичної нейропатії. Особи із спадковою схильністю до розвитку ендотеліальної дисфункції через поліморфізм генів ендотеліальної NO-синтази (NOS3) можуть мати схильність і до розвитку ПВКГ. Мета: встановити зв’язок поліморфізмів rs1799983 та rs2070744 гена NOS3 з первинною відкритокутовою глаукомою. Матеріали та методи. Проаналізовані дані 153 пацієнтів (153 ока) із ПВКГ та 47 пацієнтів групи контролю. Вік пацієнтів становив 65,0 ± 13,1 року, тривалість захворювання — 4,9 ± 5,3 року. Кров пацієнтів досліджена методом полімеразної ланцюгової реакції в реальному часі (ампліфікатор Gene Amp® PCR System 7500, США) із використанням тест-систем TaqMan Mutation Detection Assays Life-Technology (США). Для статистичної обробки отриманих результатів використовували програму Statistica 10 (StatSoft, Inc., США). Результати. У хворих на ПВКГ встановлено збільшення частоти мінорної гомозиготи ТТ rs1799983 (у 2,8 раза; PFet = 0,023) та зменшення частоти мінорної гомозиготи ТТ rs2070744 (у 1,9 раза; PFet = 0,049) при порівнянні з контролем. Вплив генотипів rs1799983 на розподіл пацієнтів був статистично значущим для ІІІ і IV стадій (p < 0,02), а вплив генотипів rs2070744 — тільки для IV стадії (р = 0,006). Встановлено зв’язок із ПВКГ алелей Т rs1799983 (р = 0,016) і С rs2070744 (р = 0,025), що при стратифікації зберігалося для ІІІ і IV стадій (p < 0,025). Носії генотипу ТТ rs1799983 порівняно з носіями інших генотипів мали більший внутрішньоочний тиск, гірші результати периметрії, меншу товщину RNFL і GCC та більше відношення Cup/Disk Area Ratio. Носії генотипу СС rs2070744 порівняно з носіями генотипу ТТ мали гірші результати периметричного обстеження та меншу товщину RNFL і GCC. Висновки. Отримані результати підтвердили наявність зв’язку поліморфізмів rs1799983 та rs2070744 гена NOS3 із ПВКГ у пацієнтів з української популяції.

Profil Kontrol Glikemik Antidiabetik pada Pasien DM Tipe 2 dengan Sirosis Hati
Authors: Oktaviani Emy , Indriani Lusi , Wulandari Haryanti
Published: May 2022

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic syndrome with multi-etiology characterized by chronic hyperglycemia. DM can cause a variety of complications, one of which is impaired liver function. The use of antidiabetics needs to get more attention because most antidiabetics are metabolized in the heart. This study aims to determine the control of antidiabetic glycemic, the relationship of antidiabetic types with effectiveness, as well as factors related to glycemic control in type 2 DM patients with liver cirrhosis.  This research was conducted in June-July at Fatmawati Central General Hospital with cross sectional design and data retrieval period of 2014-2019 conducted retrospectively. The observation parameters of glucose control in this study were current blood sugar (GDS). Of the 106 patients who met the inclusion criteria, it was seen that the use of insulin aspart single in 34 patients showed good glycemic control followed by the use of combination insulin glargine-aspart in 25 patients. The results of the Chi-square analysis showed that there was no significant relationship between the type of antidiabetic on glycemic control (p-value = 0,159). However, the results of the Chi-square test showed that there was a significant relationship between the severity of liver cirrhosis and glycemic control (p-value=0,021) and gender was another factor that also showed a significant relationship to glycemic control (p-value=0,042). The use of insulin aspart alone or in combination with insulin glargine is the best in controlling blood sugar levels while in T2DM patients with liver cirrhosis based on this study.
Accelerated Stability Test of Snakehead Fish Extract (Channa striata) and Kelulut Honey (Heterotrigona itama) Ointment Combination with BHT as an Antioxidant
Authors: Andrie Mohamad , Taurina Wintari , Ayuningtias Dyah
Published: May 2022

The oil phase of adeps lanae was used as a basis in the ointment formulation with snakehead fish extract and kelulut honey, which influences wound healing. Adeps lanae has the potential to become rancid due to the high water content in it (25-30%). The use of oil-soluble antioxidants such as Butyl Hydroxy Toluene (BHT) can overcome the rancidity in oil. This study aimed to see how adding BHT as an antioxidant affects the ointment's stability. The ointment is prepared in three different BHT concentrations: F1 (0.0075%), F2 (0.05%), F3 (0.1%), and a control for comparison. Organoleptic tests, homogeneity, spreadability, adhesion, protection power, and acid number were used to evaluate the stability of the preparation over 28 days at 40 ± 2°C / RH 75 ± 5%. The data obtained were analyzed statistically using One Way ANOVA. The addition of BHT affected the preparation's spreadability, adhesion, and acid number but did not affect the organoleptic, homogeneity, or protective power. At F3, there is a significant difference in spreadability (5.57 ± 0.21 cm) and adhesion (89.00±2.00 seconds) based on statistical analysis. F3 is the best ointment based on the physical characteristics test results and the minimum increase in acid number (8.83 mg KOH/g).
John Keats’s Geographical Writing and Construction of British National Identity
Authors: Junyao ZHANG , Dan CUI
Published: May 2022

British romantic poets generally illustrate distinctive geographical writing characteristics. Among them, John Keats is a representative in composing geographical space from a multi-dimensional perspective, either real or imaginary, thus illustrating the natural aesthetic characteristics of his poetry and the poet’s own humanistic thoughts and political concerns. In his poems, Keats not only wrote about the landscape of English natural geographical appearance, including forests, grasslands, etc., which highlighted his love for Britain and pride in folk customs, but also focused on the human landscape represented by castles and churches, which highlighted the central position of England within Great Britain and the anticipation of integrating Scotland under English control. Keats is not confined to a particular moment or a scene, but detached from reality and creating fantasy to incorporate elements of magical mythology in order to fictionalize the natural geographic environment including nature, river, mountains and human geography like castles, thus highlighting his Hellenized Britain and publicizing the civilized image of the Great Britain. On the other hand, he also highlighted the rationality and order of Britain through the mapping of the East, and provided a rational explanation for its Eastern colonization.
A Novel Approach to Forecasting High Dimensional S&P500 Portfolio Using VARX Model with Information Complexity
Authors: Salim Jana , Bozdogan Hamparsum
Published: May 2022

This study considers vector autoregressive models that allow for endogenous and exogeneous regressors VARX using multivariate OLS regression. For the model selection, we follow bozdogan’s entropic or information-theoretic measure of complexity ICOMP criterion of the estimated inverse Fisher information matrix IFIM in choosing the best VARX lag parameter and we established that ICOMP outperform the conventional information criteria. As an empirical illustration, we reduced the dimension of the S&P500 multivariate time series using Sparse Principal Component Analysis (SPCA) and chose the best subset of 37 stocks belonging to six sectors. We then performed a portfolio of stocks based on the highest SPC loading weight matrix, plus the S&P500 index. Furthermore, we applied the proposed VARX model to predict the price movements in the constructed portfolio, where the S&P500 index was treated as an exogeneous regressor of the VARX model. It has been deduced too that the buy-sell decision making in response to VARX (4,0) for a stock outperforms investing and holding the stock over the out-of-sample period.

Este trabajo expone algunas de las principales características de las estructuras financieras y las tendencias crediticias dentro de la nueva inserción financiera en el proceso de globalización. Posteriormente, se analizan las principales lecciones de la inestabilidad y la crisis financiera para AL. En este marco, se exponen algunas líneas e ideas para el debate sobre el cambio estructural del financiamiento al desarrollo.
Las reformas financieras en México. Crédito bancario sin moneda única
Authors: Correa Eugenia
Published: May 2022

El Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte (TLCAN) no es sólo un acuerdo que abarca productos básicos comercializables, sino que incluye importantes capítulos sobre servicios, especialmente servicios financieros. Adicionalmente, el TLCAN es también un acuerdo pionero para la protección de las inversiones. La libre circulación de capitales y la salvaguarda de los derechos de propiedad son características esenciales. Este artículo sostiene que la reforma financiera en México de 1989 a 1992 fue una condición previa para la liberalización comercial y financiera en el marco del TLCAN. Así, se analiza el contenido de esta reforma y se compara con la llevada a cabo durante la década de 1970, que también abrió el mercado financiero. Posteriormente, se examina el establecimiento de filiales financieras y el modelo global de negocios financieros y sus consecuencias en el financiamiento. Y aunque no se trata de una unión monetaria, el TLCAN establece una forma de unión financiera. Para México, esta unión significa una delimitación del financiamiento global y nacional. Se argumenta que la regionalización del crédito es fantasiosa, ya que ésta pretende establecer una restricción a la capacidad crediticia del banco central frente al gobierno y transferir dicha capacidad al mercado. La idea de sustituir el papel del banco central como prestamista de última instancia, a través de cambios legislativos, y bajo el contexto del actual clima financiero de "too-big-to-fail", no puede contar con el apoyo de un sistema financiero globalizado que opera con monedas nacionales o regionales.

 
La acumulación por desposesión en Puerto Rico: Siglo XXI
Authors: Díaz Ayala Lizamell Judith
Published: May 2022

El objetivo principal de este texto es explicar cómo se manifiesta la acumulación por desposesión, término propuesto por David Harvey, en el caso de Puerto Rico durante el siglo XXI. Como primer paso, se revisó las categorías generadas por Karl Marx, David Harvey y Saskia Sassen que explican el desarrollo de un fenómeno que comparte la misma lógica de la acumulación originaria.  En segundo lugar, desde esta perspectiva de análisis, se estudió tanto fuentes académicas como periodísticas que explican el desarrollo histórico de la actual crisis económica, sociocultural y política en Puerto Rico. Este análisis nos muestra la relación de complicidad, aunque de vez en cuando expresen anecdóticas diferencias, entre el gobierno de Puerto Rico, el de Estados Unidos y el sector financiero.
Wittgenstein y la atribución de estados mentales a animales no humanos: enfoque de las habilidades o contextualismo de la forma de vida.
Authors: Crelier Andrés
Published: May 2022

Discuto dos interpretaciones de la posición del Wittgenstein tardío sobre la atribución de conceptos psicológicos referidos a capacidades y estados mentales a animales no humanos: el “enfoque de las habilidades” (Glock 2017) y el “enfoque del contextualismo de la forma de vida” (von Savigny 2016). Después aplico estas interpretaciones a líneas recientes de investigación sobre la cognición animal en los ámbitos de la etología cognitiva y la psicología animal y comparada. En la primera sección introduzco el problema exegético y en las siguientes dos expongo cada una de las dos interpretaciones. En la cuarta sección defiendo la conveniencia de complementarlas. En la quinta sección utilizo el marco wittgensteiniano para comprender la forma en que algunas líneas recientes de investigación sobre la cognición animal proponen sus hipótesis explicativas.

Antecedentes, teoría y crítica de la visión bolivariana sobre la transición: entre el intento renovador y el socialismo utópico
Authors: Zendejas Máximo Julio Diego
Published: May 2022

El artículo examina la visión bolivariana sobre el tránsito al socialismo y su relación con la tradición al respecto. Para ello revisa primero los antecedentes históricos e ideológicos de la Revolución Bolivariana y su vínculo con la interpretación de la transición. Enseguida sintetiza y analiza críticamente los presupuestos teóricos de tal propuesta concluyendo que a pesar del intento renovador recae en posiciones utópicas por su énfasis subjetivo del cambio social y su distanciamiento con la crítica de la economía política del capitalismo hecha por Marx.

Abstract: Now a day’s people are getting more advanced using different technology for making their life a comfortable one. We can see rapid advancement in technology in the world. People of this generation busy with their personal life. Due to their busy life schedule they cannot go to the market for again and again in a week. They want for storing the foods like fruit and vegetables for a period of time in a bulk. The features of the system are equipped with IOT based technology and controlled by mobile phone. It maintains a control level of temperature. This is called a smart container. Because the temperature inside the system is control by its shelf. The foods are getting spoiled after some months because the humidity and temperature is the main physical quantity that is caused for spoiling of foods. So if we control the environment in a short system then the lifespan of food will increase. But to check the quality of food we had made an experiment to find the pH and titratable acidity.

Cultural intelligence in the choice of international assignments
Authors: Hong Gahye , Kim Eunmi
Published: May 2022

We investigated the relationship between expatriate candidates' cultural intelligence (CQ) and organizational attractiveness, and examined the moderating role of the host location as a boundary condition of this relationship. Korean participants (N = 407) randomly took one of
two assignment locations (Vietnam or US) and answered questions on individual ability in acceptance of cultures, and willingness to be assigned to an expatriate position in each location. Results show that CQ was positively related to organizational attractiveness, and applicants with high
CQ were more positive in their choice of an assignment in Vietnam (vs. US). Therefore, to recruit talented expatriates to emerging countries, in particular, managers should consider the CQ of expatriate candidates.

Authors: Jiang Xiaochuan , Li Yizhuo , Hou Yanhui , Chima Nicholas , Yang Jianfeng
Published: May 2022

Although the Student Career Construction Inventory (SCCI) has been used in many countries to measure the career adapting responses of college students, the applicability of the SCCI for use with Chinese college students has not yet been tested. Thus, we analyzed data from 411 college students who completed the SCCI and other related scales. The results support the second-order factor structure of the SCCI, and we found that the four dimensions, and the SCCI as a whole, were reliable. Students who scored higher on the SCCI scored higher on measures of career exploration, career planning, and career engagement, supporting the high congruent validity of the SCCI. Students with higher SCCI scores also showed stronger vocational identity and higher academic achievement, supporting the high criterion validity of the measure. Finally, the SCCI demonstrated scalar invariance across genders. Generally, the results show that the Chinese version of the SCCI is a valid and reliable scale for assessing college students' career adaptation thoughts and behaviors.

Authors: Gao Zhengbo , Guo Yanbo , Wei Haikang
Published: May 2022

In this study we added to the literature on leader–member exchange (LMX) and employee creativity by focusing on the mediating role of Zhongyong thinking in this relationship. We collected data from 295 employees at a state-owned manufacturing company in China, using a paper-and-pencil survey. Structural equation modeling was used to examine the hypotheses. Results show that both LMX and Zhongyong thinking were positively related to employee creativity, and Zhongyong thinking partially mediated this relationship. Our findings show the importance of both LMX and Zhongyong thinking in facilitating employee creativity, and provide a practical guide to enhance employee creativity.

río infraestructurado: la gestión comunitaria entre el cemento y los movimientos del agua
Authors: Bocarejo Diana
Published: May 2022

El río Magdalena evoca una larga historia de un río intervenido por canales, cemento, dragas y centrales hidroeléctricas. También, puede entenderse a partir de las conexiones y movimientos del agua que permiten el flujo de sedimentos, nutrientes y aseguran la conectividad de los ecosistemas. Busco investigar cómo estas dos visiones se conectan y entrelazan con el análisis de la gestión ambiental local de los ribereños (pescadores y campesinos) del río Magdalena. Por un lado, la gestión depende de y/o responde al análisis de las causas y consecuencias de los cambios en la calidad del agua (contaminación), su cauce y la cantidad disponible, como efecto de las intervenciones de infraestructura. Por el otro, la gestión también debe ser pensada a partir de los patrones de movimiento de expansión del agua que inundan o secan zonas como marismas y playas, que definen momentos de mayor o menor caudal y la presencia de peces, entre otros. Argumento que las formas de gestión ribereña son prácticas derivadas de diversas conexiones parciales entre personas, animales y movimientos del agua, materialidades y sus múltiples promesas que transgreden la oposición de estas dos perspectivas de un río infraestructurado.
Peces ciegos: un ensayo fotográfico
Authors: Murillo Andrea
Published: May 2022

Desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX, los proyectos de modernización en el occidente de México intensificaron la modificación del paisaje con infraestructura para la reproducción de especies. En este fotoensayo rastreo la movilidad de una de ellas, los peces. Específicamente exploro la figura del pez ciego como una narrativa de la modernidad que provee una imagen de penumbra. Si la modernidad es un proyecto situado que brinda luces, sugiero que la penumbra de los peces es una zona intermedia de luz y de oscuridad para pensar los momentos de inconsistencia en el habitar del progreso mexicano.

Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems are among the major types of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and are responsible for monitoring and controlling essential infrastructures such as power generation, water treatment, and transportation. Very common and with high added-value, these systems have malware as one of their main threats, and due to their characteristics, it is practically impossible to test the security of a system without compromising it, requiring simulated test platforms to verify their cyber resilience. This review will discuss the most recent studies on ICS testbeds with a focus on cybersecurity and malware impact analysis.
Exploring Supervised Techniques for Automated Recognition of Intention Classes from Portuguese Free Texts on Agriculture
Authors: Brito Daniel Felix , Cardoso Júnior Jarbas Lopes , Dos Reis Júlio Cesar , Ruppert Guilherme , Bonacin Rodrigo Bonacin
Published: May 2022

Technical and scientific knowledge is vast and complex, particularly in interdisciplinary fields such as sustainable agriculture, which is available in several interrelated, geographically dispersed and interdisciplinary online textual information sources. In this context, it is essential to support people with computational mechanisms that allow them to retrieve and interpret information in an appropriate way, as communication in these software systems is typically asynchronous and textual. User’s intention recognition and analysis in textual documents results in benefits for better information retrieval. However, intentions are expressed implicitly in texts in natural language and the specificities of the domain and cultural aspects of language make it difficult to process and analyze the text by computer systems. This requires the study of methods for the automatic recognition of intention classes in text. In this article, we conduct extensive experimental analyses on techniques based on language models and machine learning to detect instances of intention classes in texts about sustainable agriculture written in Portuguese. In our methodology, we perform a morphological analysis of the sentences and evaluate four Word Embeddings techniques (Word2Vec, Wang2Vec, FastText and Glove) combined with four machine learning techniques (Support Vector Machine, Artificial Neural Network, Random Forest and Transfer Learning). The results obtained by applying the techniques proposed in a database with textual information on sustainable agriculture indicate promising possibilities in the recognition of intentions in free texts  in  Portuguese language on sustainable agriculture.

Published: May 2022

The current study examines the attributes of the sustainability reports produced by public listed companies in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This is achieved through the adoption of the legitimacy theory (LT) perspective to determine how the reports represent strategic development goals. Global Reporting Initiative (GRI Standards) disclosure standards have been used as a benchmark to assess the quality of UAE companies’ sustainable report in respect of Sustainable Development Goal 11 (SDG 11). We adopt Tsalis, Malamateniou, Koulouriotis, and Nikolaou (2020) methodology in scoring the disclosure quality of SGD 11. 130 sustainable reports were analyzed, it was found that there is a poor overall quality of corporate sustainability reports, not least in respect of SDG 11. There were no major changes to SDG 11, with managers tending to function symbolically in terms of their roles in the level and quality of SDG 11-related disclosures. Thus, the UAE corporate reporting is not significantly influenced by the UAE vision 2030 Agenda (United Nations [UN], 2015).

Extrarenal Wilms tumor with hypertension and dilated cardiomyopathy in an infant: A case report and review of the literature
Authors: Qu yanning , Wu Yurui , Qu Dong , Ge Haiyan
Published: May 2022

While Wilms tumors are the most frequently detected renal cancer type in
children, extrarenal Wilms tumors (ERWTs) remain rare. This report is
the first to describe hypertension and dilated cardiomyopathy in a
patient with an ERWT. A six-month-old male infant presented with an
abdominal mass and paroxysmal hypertension, echocardiography revealed
dilated cardiomyopathy with an ejection fraction of 34%, as well as
substantially increased plasma renin activity. Pathology yielded a
definitive diagnosis of ERWT. Cardiac function and blood pressure
gradually returned to normal after tumorectomy. The early diagnosis of

Published: May 2022

Aim: We aimed to detect the predictive value of CS distal delay
interval for differentiating the left from right sided PVCs.
Methods: We included 137 patients with symptomatic frequent
premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) who underwent successful
catheter ablation retrospectively (67 male, 70 female; mean age 46.0 ±
16.2 years). Patients were classified into two groups as left sided and
right sided PVCs. Decapolar catheters were placed in the coronary sinus
before the procedure. CS distal delay interval (Q-CSd) was measured as
the interval from onset of earliest QRS complex of premature ventricular
contractions in 12 lead ECG to distal CS EGM signal. Results:
CS distal delay interval was found to be significantly lower in left
sided PVCs. The cutoff value of CS distal delay interval obtained by ROC
curve analysis was 48,5 ms for prediction of right sided origin
(sensitivity: 91,5%, specificity: 85.9%). The area under the curve
(AUC) was 0.911 (p<0.001). Conclusion: CS distal
delay interval is a novel and simple measurement for accurately
differentiating the left from right sided PVCs. The use of this simple
measurement could be beneficial for decreasing ablation duration,
radiation exposure and the number of arterial or venous punctures.

Authors: Dangnguyen LongAn
Published: May 2022

The purpose of this paper is to answer the question "Can teachers do the educational quality evaluation tasks?", in the context of lacking experts or well-trained staff to do this task in low and middle-income countries, such as Vietnam. In this study, the training on knowledge, soft skill, performance, and attitude were tested as the tool improving the teachers' performance in evaluating education quality. The study was based on a quasi-experimental design, cross-disciplinary, and mixed-evaluation methods. The study is cross-disciplinary as it examines the difference between the comparison and intervention group concerning personal factors and job attitude. The findings indicate that providing knowledge, soft skill practice, and positive job attitude help to improve the staff's performance in assessing the quality of education. The findings presented in this paper provide evidence of effectiveness of the education quality evaluation skills training in schools.

After Montinari: On Nietzsche Philology
Authors: Stegmaier Werner , Anderson Lisa Marie
Published: May 2022

Nietzsche wrote in Human, All Too Human: “The worst readers are those who behave like plundering troops: they take away a few things they can use, dirty and confound the remainder, and revile the whole” (AOM 137). Nonetheless, Nietzsche's interpreters have, to a large extent and to this day, proceeded in just this way. Instead, Nietzsche demanded that one read his aphorisms and aphorism books slowly and thoroughly within the contexts in which he placed them and, further, that one always be attuned, in this reading, to new surprises. This article advocates for such a contextual interpretation of Nietzsche's works (in which Zarathustra's speeches are also considered forms of aphorism). This interpretation must be penetrating enough to clear away the ostensible ambivalence and contradiction with which Nietzsche's work is so often maligned. While notes that Nietzsche did not intend for publication can offer important assistance, they should not themselves become the basis of such an interpretation.
Nietzsche's Critique of Democracy (1870—1886)
Authors: Siemens H. W.
Published: May 2022

This article reconstructs Nietzsche's shifting views on democracy in the period 1870—86 with reference to his enduring preoccupation with tyrannical concentrations of power and the conviction that radical pluralism offers the only effective form of resistance. As long as he identifies democracy with pluralism (Human, All Too Human), he sympathizes with it as a site of resistance and emancipation. From around 1880 on, however, Nietzsche increasingly links it with tyranny, in the form of popular sovereignty, and with the promotion of uniformity, to the exclusion of genuine pluralism. Democracy's emancipatory claims are reinterpreted as “misarchism,” or hatred of authority, and Nietzsche looks to the “exceptional beings” excluded by democracy for sources of resistance to the “autonomous herd” and “mob rule.” Against elitist readings of this move, it is argued that Nietzsche opposes the domination of the herd type under democracy from a standpoint in human diversity and a generic concern with the future of humankind. Exceptional individuals are conceived in pluralistic, agonal terms, as a community of legislators engaged in a process of transvaluation that serves the interests not of one or a few but of all of us: “the self-overcoming of the human.”
What Means "Gottes Acker"? Leading dnd Misleading Translations of Salem Records
Authors: Ferguson Leland
Published: May 2022

Archaeological and historical research on the obliterated graveyard at the St. Philips African American Moravian church in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, has shed light on changing Moravian perceptions of themselves and others. The discovery came through notice of inconsistencies in translations of early Moravian records. Changes in Moravian culture and theology explain part of this variability. Other interpretive variations appear to be unfounded overlays of twentieth-century racial perceptions on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Moravian culture.
A 250-Year-Old Mystery: the Disappearance of Johann Christian Erhardt in Labrador
Authors: Schattschneider David A.
Published: May 2022

The Moravian mission to Labrador began in 1752, but quickly stalled with the disappearance of one of the missionaries, Johann Christian Erhardt, and six companions while on a trading venture with some Labrador Inuit in September of that year. Erhardt's disappearance has never been fully explained, although several theories involving accident and murder have been proposed. Mission efforts ceased there for almost twenty years until 1771, and have continued ever since. The author examines the evidence and speculation surrounding Erhardt's disappearance in light of the political climate at the time and the changing stance of the Moravian Church towards linking trade with mission. Initially, Zinzendorf had advised against any practice which may bring mission work under moral scrutiny, such as forging political alliances or linking commerce with mission. After his death, however, the position of the church changed. The mystery surrounding Erhardt's disappearance serves as an interesting case study of these ethical dilemmas.
