A consolidação da filosofia biológica de Georges Canguilhem
Authors: Souto Caio
Published: August 2023

Georges Canguilhem não inicia suas publicações no campo da história das ciências da vida. Nas primeiras décadas em que seu pensamento se formulou (1920-1930), sua obra versava sobre temas relacionados à filosofia dos valores e à moral. Contudo, em decorrência de acontecimentos internos e externos a seu pensamento, a partir de meados da década de 1950 Canguilhem se consagra como um dos maiores expoentes da assim chamada epistemologia histórica francesa, com uma série de publicações sobre o domínio histórico das ciências da vida. Nestes estudos, e de um modo cada vez mais evidente em sua obra, nota-se uma influência decisiva de Gaston Bachelard, a quem pouco se reportava nas décadas anteriores. É também nesse período que se consolida o que se pode conceber como sendo a sua “filosofia biológica”. Este estudo propõe tirar algumas consequências desse acontecimento na esfera da filosofia de Georges Canguilhem.

Published: August 2023

Predictively linking taxonomic composition and quantitative ecosystem functions is a major aspiration in microbial ecology, which must be resolved if we wish to engineer microbial consortia. Here, we have addressed this open question for an ecological function of major biotechnological relevance: alcoholic fermentation in wine yeast communities. By exhaustively phenotyping an extensive collection of naturally occurring wine yeast strains, we find that most ecologically and industrially relevant traits exhibit phylogenetic signal, allowing functional traits in wine yeast communities to be predicted from taxonomy. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the quantitative contributions of individual wine yeast strains to the function of complex communities followed simple quantitative rules. These regularities can be integrated to quantitatively predict the function of newly assembled consortia. Besides addressing theoretical questions in functional ecology, our results and methodologies can provide a blueprint for rationally managing microbial processes of biotechnological relevance.
Analysis of Atmospheric Conditions during the Occurrence of Mesoscale Convective Complex (MCC) in East Kalimantan and Surrounding Area (Case Study: December 26, 2021)
Authors: Adhitiansyah Daffa , Haryanto Yosafat Donni
Published: August 2023

Mesoscale Convective Complex (MCC) was first introduced in 1980 through research on infrared (IR) satellite images by Maddox. The MCC phenomenon can caused rain with a long period of time. This study aims to determine the atmospheric conditions when MCC occurred in East Kalimantan and surroundings area on December 26, 2021. The research data used in this study is Himawari-8 satellite data to display cloud top temperatures and convective cloud distribution using the CCO method and image interpretation using RGB method. Analysis of atmospheric conditions was also carried out on air humidity, vertical velocity, and reflectivity in the atmosphere obtained from weather radar data from the Stasiun Meteorologi Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman - Sepinggan. Based on the results of the analysis, MCC was identified as a mature phase on December 26, 2021 at 12.00 UTC. Airmass RGB analysis shows the presence of clouds which are known as Cb clouds through CCO analysis as well as warm air masses with high humidity in East Kalimantan. Negative value of vertical velocity also indicates an updraft of moist air masses and the maximum reflectivity value of the CMAX product, which is 53 dBz, indicates strong convection activity.
Analysis of Cloud Growth Phases When Nocturnal Hail Occurs (Case Study: Sekadau, 22 August 2020)
Authors: Rinanto Rayhan , Purwandari Ni Putu Risna , Haryanto Yosafat Donni
Published: August 2023

On August 22 2020, hail was reported in Sekadau, West Kalimantan at 21:23 WIB. The phenomenon of hail does not usually occur at night. So, further research is needed to find out how the cloud growth phase and Cumulonimbus (Cb) cloud structure are in this phenomenon. This research utilizes remote sensing instruments in the form of a C-Band type weather radar for the Supadio Meteorological Station and the Himawari 8 Satellite, as well as a radiosonde instrument that is closest to the time and location of the hail events. The results of satellite imagery show that nocturnal hail occurs before the clouds reach the mature phase, with the cloud top temperature at the time of hail less than -60 ºC. The maximum reflectivity detected by the radar using CMAX products shows a less significant value with an intensity of up to 52 dBZ. The VCUT product shows the maximum intensity altitude is at an altitude of 5 – 8 km. This shows that there is a process of ice condensation on the freezing level layer. The ZHAIL product image shows that there is a potential for hail in the Sekadau area with a probability of more than 80%. The occurrence of ice rain at Sekadau at night is caused by the presence of Cumulonimbus clouds with very cold peak temperatures and the mixing process above the freezing level which supports the formation of ice condensation in Cb clouds.
The main trends in the study of orthodoxy in the academic periodicals of the Ukrainian SSR of the second half of the 1980s
Authors: Savchuk Ruslan
Published: August 2023

The present research focuses on the analysis of the main trends and approaches to understanding the role of Orthodoxy in the historical past, state and public life, which developed and were formed by the scientific and public intelligentsia of the Ukrainian SSR in the second half of the 1980s. It was during this period that those approaches to understanding the role of the Church and religion in the life of the country were formed, which later found its embodiment in the state policy and public rhetoric of independent Ukraine. Modern historiography emphasizes the need for a comprehensive analysis of the Soviet religious narrative, identifying internal factors of Soviet society that determine the direction and nature of secular trends of the late Soviet period. However, the number of specific case studies of the Ukrainian late Soviet narrative is very limited. The present work is intended to fill a historiographical gap in this context. Based on the analysis, it was found out that the understanding of the role of Orthodoxy in public life among the late Soviet scientific and public intelligentsia of the Ukrainian SSR was characterized by an interweaving of complex and contradictory trends. On the one hand, it was characteristic of a rather strong desire to preserve atheistic ideological narratives when considering church-historical and religious studies issues. On the other hand, there is a clear tendency to a critical understanding of atheistic ideology, which, however, very rarely went beyond the protection and protection of "true" Marxism-Leninism. Based on the materials of scientific and popular science periodicals, the process of ideological registration of atheists-religious scholars as the advanced intelligentsia is traced. The increased interest in national issues in church history and culture was combined with the use of old methodological tools in relation to religion. Church periodicals were characterized by the significant influence of the historical features of the perestroika era on the worldview of the clergy and church authors.
The ‘Only begotten God’ (john 1:18) — a copyist error or a confession of faith?
Authors: Mikhaylov Petr
Published: August 2023

The article is devoted to the famous alternative readings in the Gospel text ― the Only Begotten Son/Only Begotten God (John 1:18), which has a rich history in ancient theology. In the history of biblical studies, this verse is an interesting case of interaction between various types of Scripture ― Alexandrian and Byzantine. The reading under consideration ― the Only Begotten God ― refers to the ancient Alexandrian text, which has high characteristics and deservedly enjoys great confidence in biblical studies. A review and analysis of manuscript evidence based on the most recent and authoritative critical editions of the text of the New Testament Scripture, involving the latest special scientific literature. The internal expressive features of the New Testament theology and the theological language of St. John the Theologian, supporting the argument in favor of evidence of the unity of the Son and the Father. Opinions and conclusions are drawn regarding the considered phrase between the most outstanding and contemporary bibleists, including native scientists. Finally, an extensive patristic tradition of using the term Only Begotten God is attracted, which is localized in Alexandrian theology and in the adjacent individual theologians and calls for an extensive period of time of a quarter millennium from Clement to Cyril of Alexandria. On the example of this phrase, an assumption is put forward about the relationship between the Alexandrian type of the text of the New Testament and the Alexandrian theological school and tradition. The oldest cases of the use of the expression Only Begotten God in patristics also reveal another feature, possibly related to his appearance, namely, his primary circulation in the Gnostic script of Alexandrian origin (Valentine, Ptolemy, Heraclion), where, however, this name was endowed with very peculiar meanings. The most intensive period of use of the expression falls on the time of Trinitarian disputes of the fourth century, moreover, for all three conditional periods ― Arian, Omiousian and Eunomian. Relevant historical evidence is attracted and considered and a certain dynamics of use in heterodox theology is traced. Finally, the most important Orthodox theologian who widely used the name Only Begotten God turns out to be St. Gregory of Nyssa, who significantly enriched his initially Trinitarian sound by identifying Christological shades in it. For the theological interpretation of the material, the latest development of the Orthodox patristic scholar and theologian father John Behr ― the distinction of "high Christology" and "low Christology"
Nestorianist melkite: on the special features of christology of Suleiman of Gaza
Authors: Davydenkov Oleg
Published: August 2023

The article examines the Christological doctrine of the Melkite writer Suleiman of Gaza, who occupies a special place in the history of Arabic-speaking Orthodox theology: for the Melkite tradition, it is with Suleiman that the era of the so-called “Arabic scholasticism” begins. The Bishop of Gaza is an example of a rather rare author among the Arab-Christian apologists, who freely borrowed theological ideas from heterodox sources. Thus, he borrowed his rational Trinitarian apologetics from his contemporary, the Nestorian Metropolitan Elijah of Nisibin. In this regard, it seems very interesting to check for such borrowings and the Christological teaching of Suleiman. Formally, his Christology is undoubtedly Orthodox, he teaches about two natures in Christ, professes the unity of His Hypostasis, affirms the personal identity of God the Word before and after incarnation. At the same time, his teaching on the unity of Christ is very reminiscent of the Nestorian concept of the “person of unity”. In general, Suleiman avoids using Christological terms and formulas that are normative for Orthodox theology, but at the same time unacceptable for Nestorianism. In particular, he does not use the name “Theotokos” in relation to the Virgin Mary. In addition, the Bishop of Gaza does not regard Christ’s humanity as own humanity of God the Word, and does not use theopaschitic expressions. In the doctrine of salvation, he is characterized, on the one hand, by an emphasis on the special role of Christ’s humanity, that is uncharacteristic for Orthodox soteriology, and, on the other hand, by a complete absence of the concept of deification. Analysis of the Christology of Suleiman of Gaza gives serious grounds to assume that in his Christological teaching he was also under the influence of Nestorian theology.
Development of indicators for assessment of green infrastructure for a territorial network of ecological stability

Published: August 2023

Landscape structure and biotic indicators have a significant role in assessing the green infrastructure of a landscape and design of a territorial ecological network. In this contribution, a methodological approach has been developed for assessing and defining indicators of current land use and biota that can be used for designing a territorial network of ecological stability. We used the assessment of ecological stability of the elements of the current landscape structure, an index of the ecological stability of a representative geo-ecosystem, the cumulative effect of high ecological stability landscape elements, and the Shannon Diversity Index (SHDI) to measure the degree of entropy, or landscape diversity. The assessment of biota was based on qualitative habitat field data and an evaluation of their overall nature conservation importance based on the type of land cover and habitats, the importance of habitats, their current conservation status, how many rare habitats are in a region, and how many vulnerable species are present in habitats. The assessment was applied on a local level, using the example of the Dolný Lopašov study area. The spatial distribution of green infrastructure is not balanced within the study area. The most significant elements of the ecological network consist of natural and semi-natural habitats that have a favourable conservation status. The Malé Karpaty Mountains, situated in the northern region, are forest-covered and have the highest ecological stability. Intensively cultivated fields are dominant in the central and southern parts of the study areas and are characterised by a low proportion of green infrastructure and low ecological stability. The results of the modelling of the cumulative impact of landscape elements on ecological stability by distance show that the cumulative impact of woodland elements positively affects the ecological stability of the area, especially in the area of intensively cultivated fields, an element with a low degree of ecological stability. Using selected indicators of current landscape structure and biota helps to assess the overall ecological stability of the area, identify the most stable areas, as well as areas with the lowest ecological stability, where it is necessary to complete and design new elements of green infrastructure to increase the function of the ecological network.
МОДЕЛЮВАННЯ АДСОРБЦІЙНОГО ВИДАЛЕННЯ ВОДИ З ДИХЛОРМЕТАНУ З ВИКОРИСТАННЯМ ПРОГРАМИ ASPEN ADSORPTION: СТАДІЯ ДЕСОРБЦІЇ
Authors: Поджарский Михаил А.
Published: August 2023

За допомогою програми Aspen Adsorption проведено комп’ютерне моделювання стадії десорбції води технологічного процесу зневоднення дихлорметану. Моделювання дозволило отримати дані для порівняння ефективності використання азоту та парів дихлорметану як десорбуючих агентів. Дослідження показало, що використання парів дихлорметану супроводжується значно вищими енерговитратами, ніж у випадку азоту, в першу чергу через велику енергію, необхідну для випаровування дихлорметану перед його подачею в колону. Крім того, ендотермічний характер процесу призводить до того, що пари дихлорметану, конденсуючись, утворюють в колоні рідкий шар, що збільшує час десорбції. Тому з технологічної точки зору азот є більш прийнятним десорбуючим агентом, ніж пари дихлорметану, а десорбцію слід проводити за значень температури не нижче 80 °С.
Reconciling Islamic Jurisprudence and Hadith in al-Andalus in the 5th/ 11th Century: Ibn al-Ṭallā‘ (d. 497/1104) and His Aqḍiyat Rasūl Allāh
Authors: Akmaluddin Muhammad
Published: August 2023

Kajian Muwaṭṭa’ Mālik dan mazhab Mālikī mendominasi pada abad ke-2 H/ke-8 M hingga abad ke-3 H/ke-9 M di al-Andalus. Dua abad setelahnya, yaitu abad ke-4 H/ke-10 M hingga abad ke-5 H/ke-11 M, menandai kajian Muwaṭṭa’ Mālik di al-Andalus yang mulai berkurang. Oleh karena itu, kajian abad ke-5 H/ke-11 M sangat penting untuk menggambarkan bagaimana transisi dari dominasi kitab Muwaṭṭa’ Mālik menuju dominasi kitab selain Muwaṭṭa’ Mālik di al-Andalus. Salah satunya adalah kajian yang dilakukan oleh Muḥammad bin Farj al-Qurṭubī al-Mālikī (w. 497/1104) yang terkenal dengan Ibn al-Ṭallā‘ dalam kitabnya, Aqḍiyah Rasūl Allāh ṣallā Allāh ‘alaihi wa sallam. Artikel ini akan membahas kritik Ibn al-Ṭallā‘ terhadap ortodoksi mazhab Mālikī dan kitab Muwaṭṭa’ Mālik serta bagaimana proses rekonsiliasi hadis dan fikih di al-Andalus abad ke-5 H/ke-11 M di al-Andalus. Ibn al-Ṭallā‘ menikmati kebebasan akademik di tengah kekacauan politik dan identitas. Dengan adanya kekacauan tersebut, mazhab dan pandangan selain dari mazhab Mālikī lebih banyak dan lebih bebas untuk disuarakan. Oleh karena itu, ia lebih bebas untuk keluar dari ortodoksi Mālikī dengan mengutip sebanyak mungkin dan membandingkan dengan mazhab selain Mālikī. Perpaduan sumber fikih dan hadis, serta kombinasi pendapat Mālik bin Anas dan mazhab lainnya, menjadi sebuah capaian bagi Ibn al-Ṭallā‘. Capaian tersebut melalui beberapa proses dan tahapan, terlebih mazhab Mālikī dan Muwaṭṭa’ masih mendominasi sejak menjadi mazhab resmi dinasti Umayyah di al-Andalus pada abad ke-2 H/ke-8 M hingga abad ke-3 H/ke-9 M.

ismert tünet, jelentősége azonban nem egyértelmű. Egyes szerzők a
rotátorköpeny-szakadás kiváltó okának, mások a betegség következményének
tartják. Célkitűzés: Vizsgálatunk célja az volt, hogy felmérjük
a scapula mozgásában létrejövő elváltozásokat degeneratív eredetű, közepes
kiterjedésű, teljes vastagságú supraspinatusizom-szakadás esetén egészséges
kontrollcsoporthoz viszonyítva. Anyag és módszer:
Vizsgálatunkba 10 egészséges (kontrollcsoport) és 9, közepes méretű (1–3 cm),
panaszos supraspinatusizom-szakadással rendelkező (vizsgálati csoport) embert
vontunk be, akiknél VICON 3D ’motion capture’ rendszer és U.L.E.M.A.
mozgásanalitikai szoftver segítségével elemeztük a vállöv, ezen belül a lapocka
mozgásait sagittalis és scapularis síkban végzett flexio során. Kétmintás

szöghelyzetekhez tartozó lapocka posterior tilting, felfelé rotáció és
protractio értékei között megfigyelhető-e szignifikáns eltérés a két csoport
között. Eredmények: A vizsgálati csoportban sagittalis
karemelések során 40°-os és 50°-os karemelés mellett szignifikáns növekedést
igazoltunk a lapocka protractiójában a kontrollcsoporthoz képest (p<0,05),
míg a lapocka felfelé rotációs és posterior tilting mozgásában szignifikáns
különbséget nem igazoltunk. Scapularis síkban végzett flexio során szignifikáns
eltérést nem tudtunk igazolni a lapocka mozgásaiban a kontrollcsoporthoz képest.
Következtetés: Közepes kiterjedésű
supraspinatusizom-szakadások esetén is észlelhető lapockadyskinesis.
Lapockadyskinesisben először a protractióban jelentkezik szignifikáns eltérés,
mely a szakadás további növekedése során a későbbiekben érintheti a lapocka
felfelé rotációt és tiltinget is. Orv Hetilap. 2023; 164(31): 1213–1221.

Technologies of the Self in Contemporary South American Shamanisms
Authors: Wright Pablo
Published: August 2023

I adapt Michel Foucault’s notion of technologies of the self to carry out a comparative analysis of two ethnographic cases of contemporary South American shamanisms. In these cases, their cosmological and ritual frameworks display ontological thresholds acceded through specific technologies of the self that contest current assumptions about both the Christian and the scientific hegemonic worldviews. In the first case, I review an indigenous ethnic shamanism rooted in Qom/Toba tradition in Argentina’s Chaco region. In the second one, I analyze Santo Daime, a Brazilian ayahuasca religion that displays shamanic traits. To contextualize these cases, I introduce historical data of the constitution of Argentine and Brazilian socio-religious fields, within which these forms of shamanism would emerge. I provide ethnographic data about the history and main religious features of these shamanisms and my analysis stresses the technologies of the self unfolded to achieve a direct connection with the numinous.

Published: August 2023

Turkey is considered the gene centre of the vine, and it has remained one of the most important trading centres of viticulture and grape-based foods for a long time. The grapes grown in Anatolia and the foods obtained by processing these grapes contribute greatly to the economy of the nation. In addition to economic outcomes, grape-based traditional foods provide anti-carcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and cardiovascular disease–preventing benefits when consumed. A few examples of these grape-based traditional foods are molasses, wine, Turkish Rakı, hardaliye and pestil. In this review, the production processes of certain grape-based Turkish traditional foods are summarized.
Semenya v. Switzerland (European Court of Human Rights), No. 10934/21, July 11 2023
Authors: Cooper Jonathan
Published: August 2023

The issue of how to accommodate non-binary athletes in female sport whilst maintaining a sense of fair competition is something that many sports have struggled with in recent years. Whilst there has been debate about ethical and scientific justifications for imposing eligibility restrictions on athletes with sex variations, the potential impact of human rights norms on the policies of sport governing bodies in this area has received only peripheral attention. However, the recent decision of the European Court of Human Rights in Semenya v Switzerland, seems to have changed that narrative. In accepting jurisdiction and then finding Switzerland had failed to adequately protect Miss Semenya in relation to human rights concerns over eligibility restrictions imposed by World Athletics, the relevance and importance of substantive human rights in sport has been recognised, at least within a European context. This article reviews the most important aspects of the Court’s decision and argues that the consequences of the judgment are potentially far more significant than one set of eligibility restrictions in Athletics. In particular, the judg-ment would seem to lay down significant limits to the cherished ideal of sporting autonomy and, also, demand more rationally transparent decision making by sport governing bodies and those arbitrating on disputes in sport that involve human rights concerns.
Land cover change in marginalised landscapes of South Africa (1984–2014): Insights into the influence of socio-economic and political factors
Authors: Mogonong Buster P. , Fisher Jolene T. , Furniss David , Jewitt Debbie
Published: August 2023

Rural landscapes in South Africa experience high conversion rates due to intense land use; however, the changes are site specific and depend on the socio-economic and political history of the area. Land cover change (LCC) was assessed in response to socio-economic and political factors in uThukela Municipal District, KwaZulu-Natal, using Landsat imagery from 1984 to 2014, while making comparisons to other studies in South Africa. Socio-economic/political data were used to gain insights into the observed LCC patterns. Land cover was classified using a random forest classifier, and accuracies ranging from 87% to 92% were achieved. Systematic and intensity analysis methods were used to describe patterns, rates, and transitions of LCC in Imbabazane (ILM) and Okhahlamba (OLM) local municipalities. The results showed a reduced rate of change intensity from 3.4% to 0.9% in ILM and from 3.1% to 1.1% in OLM between 1984 and 2014. Grassland was persistent, covering over 70% in both local municipalities between 1984 and 2014. Although persistent, grassland experienced respective losses of 3.7% and 14.3% in both observation periods in ILM and of 10.2% and 13.3% in OLM. During the analysis period, settlements and cropland gained actively in both local municipalities. The changes represent a degree of population, local authority, and people’s perception as influencers of land use and LCC. It is therefore argued that socio-economic and political changes can potentially influence land use and LCC; however, natural ecosystems can persist under those conditions, and this requires more research efforts.
Significance:
This study contributes towards a growing knowledge and understanding of land cover change studies in marginalised landscapes in South Africa. The findings enforce the notion that natural vegetation systems can be altered by human-induced land use such as expansion of settlement and commercial agricultural. We show that in recent times there has been a decline in the overall rate of land cover conversion, and a high persistence of grassland amid global change, although the quality of the vegetation needs further research. We argue that the changes observed in marginalised landscapes are potentially driven by socio-economic and political dynamics.
A Computational Mapping of Online News Deserts on African News Websites
Authors: Madrid-Morales Dani , Rodríguez-Amat Joan Ramon , Lindner Peggy
Published: August 2023

To date, the study of news deserts, geographic spaces lacking local news and information, has largely focused on countries in the Global North, particularly the United States, and has predominantly been interested in the causes and consequences of the disappearance of local media outlets (e.g., newspapers and TV stations) to the social fabric of a community. In this article, we extend the concept of “news deserts” by drawing on literature on the geography of news in Africa, where information voids have long been documented but have not been studied within the conceptual framework of news deserts. Using computational tools, we analyse a sample of 519,004 news articles published in English or French by news websites in 39 African countries. We offer evidence of the existence of online news deserts at two levels: at a continental level (i.e., some countries/regions are hardly ever covered by online media of other African countries) and at a domestic level (i.e., online news media of a given country seldom cover large areas of the said country). This article contributes to the study of news deserts by (a) examining a continent that has not been featured in previous research, (b) testing a methodological approach that employs computational tools to study news geographies online, and (c) exploring the flexibility of the term and its applicability to different media ecosystems.

Based on Ku Hongming’s “The Sprite of the Chinese People” to Explore the Formation of Cultural Self-Confidence from Cultural Conservatism
Authors: Yu Junyi
Published: August 2023

Conservatism, as a cultural trend, was accompanied by the process of modernizations. Its basic feature is that it attempts to critique the overextension of instrumental rationality in modernization and the resulting social problems such as human alienation and moral loss. Its humanist tendencies and reflections on the modernization movement have their own unique cultural value. As a kind of critical and constructive thinking, Ku Hongming’s cultural conservatism can participate in historical dialogue. In the new era, how should we view modernization and Chinese culture, how to maintain our national identity in the midst of the cultural storm of globalization, how to correctly treat Chinese traditional culture in the construction of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics, and how to promote the formation of cultural self-confidence, Ku Hongming’s cultural perspectives have somehow given us deep thought and inspiration to some extent. The Spirit of the Chinese People is one of Ku’s major works, and its contents are a direct reflection of Ku’s thinking. Reading and Studying on this book will help us to understand his true thoughts and appreciate his cultural confidence and independent personality.
The Corresponding Expression of Chinese Directional Verbs in Uyghur Language
Authors: Zhu Fukuan
Published: August 2023

Directional verbs have always been a difficult point in teaching, translating and learning Chinese grammar. Scholars at home and abroad have done a lot of research on them, but most of them focus only on directional verbs or only on individual words in Chinese-Uyghur directional verbs. There is little systematic and comprehensive research on the corresponding expressions of Chinese-Uyghur directional verbs. Based on previous studies and the theoretical foundation of comparative linguistics, this paper discusses the corresponding expression rules of directional verbs in Uyghur from four aspects: the grammatical meaning of simple directional verbs, compound directional verbs and directional verbs, and the difference between directional verbs and object positions. Through comparative analysis, the structural patterns and rules of different languages will be found, which will provide a certain scientific basis for the learning of Chinese-Uyghur languages and also play a certain auxiliary role in second language teaching.

Traditional Chinese medicine culture is an important part of Chinese culture. Studying the discourse mode of traditional Chinese medicine is an important way to promote Chinese culture to go global and enhance the influence of Chinese culture. The profile of colleges and universities is the official statement of the organizational identity of colleges and universities. It is an important medium for colleges and universities to convey and promote their positive image, spread discipline culture and affect the public, especially specific stakeholders. Using the Discourse-historical Approach method of Critical Discourse Analysis, this paper selects the School Profile and the Director’s Message in the official websites of the School of Chinese medicine of the University of Hong Kong, the School of Chinese medicine of the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the School of Chinese medicine of the Hong Kong Baptist University as cases to analyze the characteristics and strategies of the discourse mode adopted by the college in constructing its organizational identity and disseminating traditional Chinese medicine culture. It is found that the introductions use a variety of discourse means, such as diversified attitude evaluation, effective naming structure , predicate structure, and “Bi-literacy and Tri-lingualism” discourse mode, and construct a positive and rich image of the school: It has a long history of development and orderly inheritance; It has sound teaching courses and complete system; It has a wide range of influence and fruitful results in the dissemination of traditional Chinese medicine culture; It has made fruitful achievements in cultivating Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) talents with international vision, and a large number of elites have emerged.
A Study on Foreign Language Listening Anxiety of English Majors in a Chinese University
Authors: Yan Qianwen
Published: August 2023

Anxiety is one of the affective factors which plays a significant role in the teaching learning process. This study makes an inquiry into foreign language listening anxiety among L2 English majors in a Chinese university with its focus on students’ learning experience. It seeks to reveal the dilemmas encountered by L2 English majors in the foreign language listening process. It also explores how these anxiety factors influence L2 English majors. The Foreign Language Listening Anxiety Scale (FLLAS) from Kim and a semi-structured one-by-one interview are employed in the study. The sources of English majors’ English listening anxiety found in this study are: vocabulary recognition, grasping the main idea, and detailed information, the speed of the delivery, lack of background knowledge of the listening material, speakers’ accent, and high requirement of memory and attention. The study results also indicate that anxious listeners tend to engage in excessive self-evaluation, worry over potential failure, and concern over others’ opinions. The study’s findings also have some pedagogical implications for English listening courses for undergraduate students, especially English major students.

Background: Lack of information access, traditions, socio-cultural taboos, and hence social embarrassment regarding menstrual hygiene has led to women's health deterioration which led to the development of an embarrassing attitude among women toward practicing menstrual hygiene in rural settings. The information gathered on this issue can be utilized by various NGOs and policymakers to make necessary changes. This study was undertaken to assess the knowledge and attitude about menstruation among school teachers, boys, and girls, including the menstrual hygiene practices of the school girls.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at two schools in Sawarde village, Ratnagiri, India, among 450 boys, 361 girls, and 20 teachers from 7th to 12th grade. Analysis of knowledge, attitude, and practice was done using descriptive analysis.
Results: 100% of teachers, 72.02% of female students had good knowledge, while only 32.44% of male students had good knowledge. It was found that 100% of teachers, 28.81% of female students, and only 2.89% of male students had positive attitudes about menstruation. It was found that 90.86% of female students used sanitary pads, 36.29% changed their pads three times or more a day, 52.08% used paper to wrap and dispose of pads, 87.26% disposed it into dustbins, 93.63% cleaned genitalia during menses.
Conclusions: IEC and behaviour change communication are needed to spread awareness and empower females regarding menstruation and menstrual hygiene. This program should include girls, their families, peers, and the community.

Autonomia Profissional e Proteção das Crianças no Depoimento Especial
Authors: Pelisoli Cátula Da Luz , Dell'Aglio Débora Dalbosco
Published: August 2023

O Depoimento Especial (DE) é uma prática polêmica no contexto do Sistema de Justiça, desde seu surgimento no cenário nacional, por evocar opiniões bastante diversas de pesquisadores e profissionais. Para investigar as percepções de profissionais da Psicologia e Serviço Social sobre a autonomia e a proteção das crianças no DE, foi realizado um survey online com 36 entrevistadores forenses em atuação no Brasil. Foram realizadas análises estatísticas descritivas e análise de conteúdo e os resultados apontaram aspectos negativos e positivos da lei, bem como opiniões favoráveis e desfavoráveis sobre a participação da Psicologia e do Serviço Social no DE. A autonomia profissional e a proteção à criança foram apresentadas pelos participantes como indissociadas, pois percebem que autonomia para conduzir a entrevista de acordo com os protocolos repercute na proteção da criança no contexto forense. As situações reveladas pelos profissionais demonstram que são necessárias qualificação continuada e mudanças nas práticas do Sistema de Justiça, de forma que possa ser mantido o respeito aos profissionais e sua autonomia na condução dos protocolos de entrevista, a fim de garantir a proteção integral às crianças.
Cassia tora Mitigates Aluminium Chloride Induced Alterations in Pro-inflammatory Cytokines, Neurotransmitters, and Beta-amyloid and Tau Protein Markers in Wistar Rats
Authors: Bhargava Vikas Pankaj , Netam Aashish Kumar , Singh Rambir , Sharma Poonam
Published: August 2023

Background and Aim: Exposure to Aluminium (Al) has been reported to cause neurotoxicity in laboratory animals. Amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque formation, tau protein hyperphosphorylation, and neuroinflammation have been indicated as the possible mechanism of Al-induced neurodegeneration. The present study aimed to understand the mechanism of aluminium chloride (AlCl3)-induced neurotoxicity in Wistar rats and to assess the neuroprotective effect of methanolic extract of Cassia tora leaves (MECT). Material and Methods: Seventy-two male Wistar rats were randomly divided into nine groups. AlCl3 (100 mg/kg bw) and MECT (300 mg/kg bw) were given orally by gavage and memantine (MEM) was administered intraperitoneally (20 mg/kg bw) to rats, daily for 60 days. The spatial learning memory and recognition memory were evaluated using the Morris Water Maze (MWM) test. The levels of oxidative stress, neurotransmitter markers, pro-inflammatory markers, Aβ proteins plaques formation and tau protein hyperphosphorylation were evaluated. Histopathology of brain tissue was performed to assess the extent of tissue damage on AlCl3 exposure. Results: MECT significantly improved cognitive behaviours in AlCl3-exposed rats during the MWM test. Treatment with MECT resulted in a significant recovery of antioxidant enzyme function, the activity of neurotransmitter markers and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. MECT prevented the aggregation of Aβ proteins and tau protein phosphorylation. Also, it inhibited the loss of neuronal integrity in the cortex and hippocampus regions of the brain in AlCl3-exposed rats. Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that a methanolic extract of Cassia tora leaves ameliorated AlCl3-induced neurodegeneration in Wistar rats.
Acute and Repeated Dose 28-Day Oral Toxicity Studies of Phlorotannin Rich Fraction of Sargassum tenerrimum, A Marine Brown Algae
Authors: G. V. Narasimha Kumar , Vellapandian Chitra
Published: August 2023

Sargassum tenerrimum is a marine brown algae rich in phlorotannins, a class of marine polyphenols with significant biological activities. The present study aimed to prepare a phlorotannin-rich fraction from S. tenerrimum (PST) and evaluate its acute and subacute oral toxicity in Wistar albino rats according to the procedures and methods of the OECD test guidelines for acute and repeated dose 28-day oral toxicity studies. S. tenerrimum powder was extracted with ethanol and further fractionated with ethylacetate, 1-butanol, and water. The ethyl acetate fraction was found to have the highest total phlorotannin concentration and was evaluated for its safety. In the acute oral toxicity study, a single dose of PST at 2000 mg/kg body weight did not result in any treatment-related clinical symptoms of toxicity or mortality. Therefore, the median lethal dose (LD50) of PST was identified as greater than 2000 mg/kg. The subacute oral toxicity investigation at 200, 400, and 800 mg/kg doses administered for 28 days with a 14-day recovery period revealed no treatment-related adverse clinical symptoms or mortality/morbidity. The treated animals exhibited normal weight gain, feed intake and did not result in clinically significant toxicity as measured by clinical blood chemistry and hematological markers. Gross and histological examinations of selected tissues did not reveal any notable adverse alterations associated with the intervention. Under the study's findings, the LD50 for PST was determined to be >2000 mg/kg b.wt. and No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) to be 800 mg/kg rat b.wt.
Умножение чисел разных знаков. Теория переходов через ноль
Authors: Полякова И.С.
Published: August 2023

В статье рассмотрены два множества чисел, положительные и отрицательные, сказано, что при условии «минус на минус будет минус» минус единица на множестве отрицательных чисел соответствует единице на множестве положительных и при возведении отрицательных чисел в нолевую степень получается единица отрицательного множества – минус один. Если мы делим множества, то на них могут работать разные законы, на положительном и отрицательном – смежном множестве- быть «минус на минус будет плюс», а на отрицательном множестве «минус на минус будет минус». Тогда при возведении отрицательных чисел в степени будут получаться отрицательное числа, как и должно быть.

Published: August 2023

Решение обыкновенных уравнений и неравенств (систем уравнений и неравенств) бесконечнозначной логики продолжается до получения типовых уравнений и неравенств, решение которых обычно заготовлены (известны) заранее. Данная статья и посвящена получению этих готовых в последствии решений уравнений и неравенств бесконечнозначной логики. Рассматриваются 11 типовых уравнений и неравенств бесконечнозначной логики и их решения, получающиеся из исходных использованием определений основных операций: дизъюнкции бесконечнозначной логики и конъюнкции бесконечнозначной логики. После раскрытия этих операций исходное уравнение (неравенство) обычно сводится к объединению систем, откуда следует искомое решение.
