Authors:   Ministry of Education / Iraq, Al-Tameemi Asma Fowzi
Published: September 2022

Quran the book of God Almighty Divine Creator, the all-knowing of and the people circumstances, present and future There is no doubt that it contained among it words the scientific, mathematical and literary miracles, Mathematics is one of the important scientific topics that work on linking and integrating different sciences, The aim of the study is to understand reality in a scientific way, as Muslims, we try to derive scientific and mathematical concepts from this wonderful miracles, The researcher noticed to answer the following question: What are the mathematical concepts contained in the holy Koran? The researcher adopted the descriptive approach (document analysis) because this type is concerned with analyzing information in order to reach a better understanding of the phenomenon to be studied. The researcher found several conclusions which follows: From the above we note that the Koran has involved a superb Mathematical miracle, and this shows that mathematics is the language of the ages in the past, present and future and it’s very important to the human life. And that these concepts are diverse, and it’s preferred to be used as a guidance during the teaching of mathematics. Also, there is no connection between the Quranic verses that carry mathematical concepts and mathematics books for the six grades of the primary stage. The researcher suggested some recommendations, including strengthening the methodological books with Quranic verses in an actual way, and linking life issues taken from the verses of the Holy Quran with purely mathematical situations and then solving them, as linking between Religion and science through linking abstraction to concrete reality enhances the faith, scientific and mental aspect together. In conclusion, I say: Glory be to you, my Lord, you taught the children of Adam all the sciences, and you who made the universe wiser. Nothing is hidden from you. You did not leave a small or a large one except that you put it in your holy book, may God bless you. O God, bless the guide, the evangelist, the enlightening lamp, our Prophet Muhammad, and the God of the good and pure until the Day of Judgment.

Published: September 2022

eaching the concept of fractions to students stays challenging, yet representations define an effective strategy to overcome such a challenge. Considering the impact of teachers’ knowledge on students’ achievement, this study aimed at portraying mathematics teachers’ knowledge for teaching fractions through representations, precisely, the addition process that remains a prerequisite to other operations. Hence, a purposefully selected sample of novice mathematics teachers was asked to propose a pedagogical activity through which the addition of fractions could be taught to early-age students. Later, their responses were analyzed through the study framework, which was developed by combining the five interrelated constructs of fractions with the types of activities used when teaching the addition of fractions. As a result, teachers’ knowledge was crystallized into three principal categories of utilizing the Part-whole, Measure, and Operator constructs. Furthermore, the related concepts of the unit and proportional equivalence, the fractional unit, including the iteration process, and the connection between addition and subtraction were discussed. Also, manners of representing (1) the added fractions and the result through two distinct models, (2) the added fractions and the result jointly in one model, and (3) only the added fractions emerged. These results provide a foundation for the professional development of mathematics teachers.

CHANGING CUSTOMER INTENTIONS AND BUYING BEHAVIOUR FOR SECOND-HAND GOODS IN EMERGING ECONOMIES – A WAY FORWARD TO SUSTAINABILITY POST-PANDEMIC
Authors: Ragaur Sandhya
Published: September 2022

Purpose: With the recent development in technology, the market of second-hand goods has widened to online platforms, which has provided consumers with more choices. This research paper examines the various factors that influence the buying decision of consumers for second-hand goods and how a shift from offline to online platforms has added to more sustainable growth in this sector. The study has analyzed how brand, price, risk, etc. influence the customer's buying behavior for second-hand goods.Methodology/approach: For this purpose, a Conjoint Analysis statistical technique is used to prepare the questionnaire for the survey to determine how consumers value different attributes (features, benefits, functions) to an individual product or service. The objective behind using conjoint analysis is to understand what combinations of a limited number of attributes, influence the most to customers.Findings: For the purpose of research survey was conducted on 100 people to understand their changing behavior towards second-hand goods and factors they keep in mind while purchasing the same. The study has found that around 78% of consumers prefer to buy branded second-hand products and between price and quality, they are more favorable towards cost-benefit. The study also revealed that consumers are shifting from offline to online markets as it helps them in cost-cutting and saving time. With increased preference for secondhand goods, long-term environmental sustainability can also be ensured to reduce wastage.Practical implications: This study can help the second-hand goods industry like e-bay, 2-good and other online platforms in formulating different strategies to maximize the sales of second-hand goods and in decision making while making various strategies. As this study is focused on understanding consumer intention, this will help the management in building a sound consumer base.Originality/Value: Though various research has been done related to the second-hand goods market, understanding the consumer’s willingness to pay and the perceived quality of the product has not been studied intensively. Also, sustainability and second-hand goods have not been researched thoroughly.

Published: September 2022

Applying Design for manufacture and assembly (DfMA) principles in building has gained attention in recent years. Studies reported that the application of DfMA in building projects can significantly enhance overall productivity. However, the literature on DfMA in the construction industry is still limited. This paper aims to provide an updated and comprehensive review of DfMA approach and its applicability in the construction industry. Web of science, and Google Scholar databases were used to obtain relevant articles from the literature. The study is based on a systematic review of 52 selected articles through search keywords for DfMA. The bibliometric results mapped the research publications by year, journal, and country in which the DfMA study is conducted. The thematic analysis results revealed the research themes and trends. In conclusion, the DfMA literature has increasingly focused on integration and sharing of information during project life-cycle to optimize design, manufacturing, and assembly, and to address issues relating to the integration of off-site manufacturing with on-site assembly. Finally, the review is concluded by providing recommendations for researchers and practitioners, and by identifying future works and opportunities for the application of DfMA in the construction industry. The results of this paper can help future theoretical and empirical research and developments.
A proposed conceptual framework for Computational Design Sustainability in Industrialized Building
Authors: Soltani Sahar , Bunster Victor , Maxwell Duncan
Published: September 2022

The construction industry has benefited from the recent methodological advancements in Computational Design (CD) and its associated technological developments. However, the multifaceted challenges faced by the construction industry have limited its capacity to achieve global sustainability goals. In this context, Industrialized Building (IB) has opened new avenues to take advantage of technology while promoting the incorporation of sustainability principles to mainstream construction problems. Despite its great potential, the literature in this area is fragmented, and the relationship between various aspects of these topics is not fully understood. This paper aims to bring awareness to the potential integration of IB and CD in promoting sustainability, thereby advancing the understanding of the topic by proposing this integration for future investigations and unravelling their relationships and underpinning ideas. The critical discussion presented in this paper proposes a common ground on which to build new knowledge in seeking to disclose conceptual patterns and links instead of specific causal mechanisms. We propose that this integration paves the way for creating a trade-off structure to manage these multifaceted and complex factors through "satisficing" – finding the satisfactory solutions rather than the optimized ones – the design, operation and delivery of a building project (and its construction value chain) in a more sustainable way.

Drug abuse affects almost all levels, especially the younger generation. Children and adolescents are the nation's next generation that must be protected from drug abuse, because drugs have a major impact on health, economy, and socio-culture, and even the destruction of a nation. Drugs can cause physical and psychological dependence. According to President Joko Widodo, the situation in this country is in a Drug Emergency Status. Narcotics are substances or drugs made from natural, synthetic, or semi-synthetic materials that can cause a decrease in consciousness according to Law No. 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics Article 1 paragraph 1. The negative impact of the use of Narcotics in addition to causing health impacts in the form of dependence, lowering the level of awareness even to the point of death. Circulation and use of drugs is no longer limited to social class and geographical location. This is very concerning, especially if those who become drug users are the younger generation, especially students who will become the nation's next generation.

In 2020 and 2021, the eleventh and twelfth seasons of excavations at the Late Bronze Age city of Hala Sultan Tekke were carried out in the cemetery of Area A. Based on indications provided by a large-scale magnetometer survey, two tombs exposed by intensive farming were located, Tombs RR and SS. The excavation of Tomb RR, which had started in 2018, was concluded. The total minimum number (MNI) of skeletons in this tomb, of which most were incomplete and disarticulated, is estimated at 137. In addition to clay figurines, seals and scarabs, objects of ivory, as well as jewellery of gold, silver, bronze, faience and carnelian, the inhumations are associated with more than 100 intact or complete ceramic vessels, many of them imported from the Mycenaean, Minoan, Hittite and Levantine spheres of culture. The pottery indicates a LC II(A/)B–C1 date of the inhumations, i.e., covering the 14th and the beginning of the 13th centuries BC. The excavations of the adjacent Tomb SS began in 2020 and has been concluded in May 2022. It contained a minimum of eleven inhumations, most of them (almost) complete and articulated, and large deposits of Cypriot and imported pottery, in total over 300 vessels mainly from the LC (I–)IIB, i.e., from the 16th/15th to mainly the 14th centuries BC. These contexts not only offer an insight into the complex Late Cypriot mortuary practices and funerary rituals but also reflect the urban élites with far-reaching inter-cultural connections.

Authors: Ovchinnikov Yu. V. , Patsenko M. B. , Anuchkin A. A. , Pavlova E. M.
Published: September 2022

The article presents reviews of modern domestic and foreign scientific publications on the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with arterial hypertension (AH), as well as the issues of blood pressure control in AF. Arterial hypertension (AH) is often accompanied by comorbidity, and, in addition, is the most frequent factor in the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). AF is the most common type of arrhythmia, which increases the risk of thromboembolic complications, heart failure, and leads to an increase in the overall mortality rate.

   The aim of the work was to study the pathological mechanisms of the formation of AF in hypertension, as well as their mutual impact on the course of diseases, and, in addition, to analyze and compare methods for measuring blood pressure (BP) in AF, used in modern clinical work, to identify the most objective method.

   A general scientific method was applied: analysis of modern scientifi c domestic and foreign literature on research problems, generalization, comparison, systematization of theoretical data on the experience of application. All reviews were indexed in PubMed, Medline, eLibrary, CyberLeninka, Google Scholar databases. The presented study allow us to conclude that hypertension is both a risk factor for atrial fi brillation and a complication of the course of the disease in patients with atrial fibrillation; the most objective method of measuring blood pressure in AF is oscillometric. The tasks and prospects of future research are identified.

Authors: Hajievа Ya. H.
Published: September 2022

Hypercholesterolemia is one of the most common pathological conditions and plays a signifi cant role in the development of cardiovascular diseases, arterial hypertension (AH), type 2 diabetes mellitus, etc.

   The aim of the study was to evaluate the population potential of non-drug methods for cholesterol level correction.

   Material and methods. 3 groups were formed on a voluntary basis out of the 2013 initially surveyed people with high cholesterol (˃ 6.4 mmol/l). In the 1st group, consisting of 89 residents, it was recommended to reduce the energy value to less than 2500 kcal/day. The 2nd group consisted of 92 residents who agreed to a daily increase in physical activity (PhA) to reduce the high level of cholesterol (˃ 6.4 mmol/l). In the 3rd group, consisting of 96 residents, both measures were recommended, i. e. not to exceed the energy value of the food intake and increase daily physical activity. Control studies of cholesterol level were carried out 6–8 months after starting the work.

   Results and discussion. In the 1st group of residents the diff erence in cholesterol levels at the beginning of work and 6–8 months after its completion was 10.6 ± 1.3 and 6.6 ± 0.7 mmol/l, (t = 2.70; p ˂ 0.01) respectively. In the 2nd group of residents a decrease in the cholesterol level was noted as well — from 9.7 ± 0.9 to 6.6 ± 0.6 mmol/l (t = 2.87; p ˂ 0.01). Group 3showed a similar decrease in the level of cholesterol level from10.4 ± 1.1 to 6.9 ± 0.8 mmol/l (t = 2.59; p ˂ 0.01). Thus, non-drug therapy provides a noticeable decrease in cholesterol level, which is of great importance, they do not provide the achievement of the classical norm of cholesterol level (˂ 5.0 mmol/l).

   Conclusions. Non-drug correction of cholesterol is quite effective. It is necessary to fi nd accessible ways to increase preventive motivation, medical awareness of the population, adherence to therapeutic and preventive measures and assess the quality of life in accordance with the dynamics of changes in cholesterol levels.

Authors: Savushkina O. I. , Fokin A. V. , Komolova L. U. , Zaytsev A. A.
Published: September 2022

The article presents a clinical case of diaphragm dysfunction caused by damage to the diaphragmatic nerve in a 35-year-old patient after a war wound to the chest. Imaging methods coupled with electromyography make it possible to diagnose this disease and its cause, while lung function tests make it possible to clarify pulmonary disorders due to diaphragm dysfunction. Тhere is a restrictive type of ventilation disorders due to limited mobility of the chest in particular, as well as gas exchange disorders due to hypoventilation in the basal parts of the lungs in the patient under discussion. These changes determine the strategy of long-term clinical follow-up of such patients, the need to involve pharmacotherapy and rehabilitation programs. Given the urgency of this problem, the data obtained broaden our understanding of the problem and require the creation of algorithms for the examination of patients who have received a chest wound, taking into account ventilation and diff usion capacity abnormalities, the need for clinical follow-up and the creation of medical rehabilitation programs.
Farm Size and Productivity in Algerian Agriculture: A Contingent Relationship.
Authors: Amine Benmehaia Mohamed
Published: September 2022

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationship between farm size and farm performance in Algeria. Unlike most previous studies, this preliminary study uses a large dataset comprising 26 735 farmers in Biskra region. Two farming sectors are considered, namely: date palm sector (typically a traditional farming sector) and greenhouse vegetables sector (relatively a modernizing sector). The study employs two farm performance measures, farmland productivity (farm output per hectare) and land use intensity. A bivariate non-parametric regression (Nadaraya-Watson approach) and multivariate quantile regression are used to assess the IR in two farming sectors. The main findings show that the IR holds for a traditional agriculture and does not in a modernizing one. Then, when it holds, it follows a systematically monotonic smooth pattern, whereas in a highly input-intense modern sector, the relationship becomes, in the best cases, blurry. The consideration of the nature of the used technology in the underlying sector (i.e., its stage of development) is of crucial importance as a contingency factor in analyzing the IR for any farming system ignored in most studies.

Authors: Tok Naciye
Published: September 2022

Like in all Mediterranean countries, Table olive farming has an important tradition and production potential in western Turkey, and thus it is critical to assess the risk sources and risk management strategies that farmers perceive. This study identifies perceptions of risk sources and managements strategies in the region, clarifying their relative importance, as farmers perceive them, using a survey conducted among 121 selected purposefully farmers. Sociodemographics of farmers and households were identified using basic descriptive statistics, such as arithmetic means and percentages. According to factor loadings, financial and marketing risk sources are most prominent among farmers, and human-induced and production technology issues represent the most important risk management strategies. In table olive production, it will be beneficial to develop strategies such as increasing the number of trees, improving agricultural activities, increasing the awareness level of farmers on issues such as climate change and the use of new technologies.
The historic failure of the EU and nationalism in the Covid 19 pandemic
Authors: Pitty Roderic
Published: September 2022

Analysis of per capita death rate figures from officially recorded deaths and credible estimates of excess deaths until late 2021 shows that almost all countries in the European Union (EU) performed poorly during the first two years of the Covid 19 pandemic. This historic failure is linked to previous processes of disintegration, including the impact of prolonged austerity policies on the capacity of public health systems. Forms of nationalism that have obstructed European cooperation during the pandemic are examined, together with low levels of public satisfaction with the EU’s response in core countries. A deeper cause of the EU’s pandemic failure was its inability to achieve significant institutional renewal. One consequence of this failure has been to reveal the EU’s weak normative power and declining global influence, shown by its inability to supply Covid vaccines to associated countries, and by its reluctance to lead a prompt, effective global vaccination effort.

The aim of the article is to show the impact of the introduction of border restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic on the intensity of tourist traffic in European reception countries. The article uses two indicators of the intensity of tourism - Defert's index and Schneider's index. The analysis of the indicators was based on the division of countries due to border control (A countries - partial border closure, B countries - PCR test or quarantine, and C countries - complete border closure for foreign tourists). Based on the research results, it was found that the changes in border crossing were important only in the initial period of the pandemic, later they were not of great importance and the values of both Defert and Schnieder indicators did not differ from those in the pre-pandemic period (i.e. the same period in 2019). The study also indicated that the largest drops in the values of the Defert and Schneider indexes were recorded in Austria and the Czech Republic, i.e. countries with different responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. The largest drops in tourist traffic intensity indicators were recorded in countries where the obligatory PCR test and quarantine were introduced. The article fills the research gap and is intended to help the governments of various countries in the future to find the most optimal solution in the context of fighting future epidemic waves.

According to a report by UNWTO 'Asia and the pacific region' is considered as the core of the world's religious tourism as half of the world's religious voyages take place in this region only. In this context the 'Great India temples' play a major role in attracting crores of pilgrims along with the tourists of varied interests. These tourists exhibit different types of behaviour during their travel. As the behaviour is largely dependent upon the tourists' nature (belief, trust, motivation), place of residence, state, age, education etc, hence analyzing the same will help the Destination Management Organisations (DMOs) for 'planning, development and marketing' of its products and services in a better way. The current research intends to find out the demographic profile of the tourists visiting Jagannath Dham, Puri (India) and analyse the 'socio-religious behaviour' of the tourists from their demographic characteristics to provide suggestive measures for the development of the destination. The responses from the tourists (404) were collected through a structured questionnaire via convenience sampling. Initially, the demographic profile was analysed through percentage analysis and later the behavioural analysis was carried out by testing the instrument's reliability through (α), and the sample's adequacy via KMO & Bartlett's test. Later the factors were reduced via PCA and analysed through Levene's test, ANOVA & Post-Hoc tests. From the analysis, it was observed that behavioural characteristics are significantly associated only with the 'state of the residence' and 'nature of residence' of the travelers. Whereas other demographic factors like age, education, gender, and marital status are not significantly affecting the tourist behaviour. The results revealed that people from 'all age groups' show a very little dependency on the temple staff but 'moderate to high interest' in local culture. While metropolitan tourists don't show much desire in partaking Mahaprashada (the religious food offering of the temple), the rural people are less 'adhering to rituals' in comparison to the metropolitan and semi-urban tourists. Apart from this, there were few other revelations based on which suggestions have been given which were if implemented will certainly result in attracting more number of tourist to the destination.
UKRAINIAN STUDIES IN SHANGHAI INTERNATIONAL
STUDIES UNIVERSITY
Authors: Xu Lisha
Published: September 2022

The article illustrates the process of formation and the current state of the specialty of Ukrainian
language and literature in Shanghai International Studies University (SISU). Founded in 2007, it is one of the
first Ukrainian studies in the People’s Republic of China and nowadays has significant educational achievements
and an interesting history of China-Ukrainian educational and cultural relations.
The Ukrainian studies in SISU develop in the context of general progress of the university and
organization of foreign language teaching: from the Shanghai School of Russian (1949) to the modern
multidisciplinary university of foreign languages with high international level. Now, SISU, teaching 46 foreign
languages, is one of China’s leading universitiesand demonstrates a high level of international cooperation.
Ukrainian studies have an interesting academic history among the specialties of SISU. The author
widely covered the institutional history of the specialty: the establishment of educational program of Ukrainian
studies at the Faculty of Russian Language and Literature (2007) and its gradual development into a selfsufficient
specialty (2015). Among the important moments in the history of Ukrainian studies at SISU is the
foundation of Ukrainian Research Center (2015) as an important center of regional and national studies. The
author showed in detail the content and structure of the curriculum of the specialty Ukrainian language and
literature, presented the scientific and methodological achievements of teachers of Ukrainian studies, and
displayed a wide range of educational, cultural and artistic activities in Ukrainian studies. The integral element
of successful teaching of the Ukrainian language in a non-native environment was separately illustrated, such
as cooperation of teachers and students with Ukrainian universities, national and social organizations both in
China and in Ukraine (in particular with Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Consulate-General of Ukraine
in Shanghai, the Association of Ukrainians in Shanghai, etc.).

Problem. At present, peristaltic pumps are widely used in construction, chemical production, mining industry, processing plants, food processing industry, etc. The creation of such devices and methods for the rational choice of their parameters is a vital task. One of the effective directions of its solution is the adequate dynamic process modeling in indicated mechanisms. Goal. The work is devoted to the creation of a universal mathematical model of dynamic processes in a peristaltic pump with a hydraulic drive for determining the technological qualities of the device, and the choice of its rational parameters. The model contains the primary geometric of the rotor, mass characteristics, the hydraulic motor dynamic characteristics, the parameters of the hose, and the mixture that is moving. Methodology. The procedure for the generation of Lagrange equations of the second kind was used for building a mathematical model of dynamic processes in the device.  The model has been created in the form of a differential equation concerning the rotor angle of rotation. A method has been developed for forming the resistance moment to the pump rotor spinning from the rollers that deform the hose. A non-linear model of drag forces to the mixture movement, which is the Bingham fluid, is obtained by using the Buckingham equation. An expression is found for the drag forces due to the gravity forces of the mixture particles in the hose discharge part. An approach has been suggested to the usage of the catalog data for representing a hydraulic motor torque as an angular velocity function of its rotor . Results. Important technological features of the device operation have been established: the presence of a significant variable component in the mixture motion speed; the influence of the lift height hose length, coefficients of rolling friction for rollers, plastic viscosity, and yield strength in mixture motion speed and pump capacity. Originality. Important technological regularities of the device functioning were established: the speed of the mixture motion can have a significant variable component; the speed of the mixture motion and pump’s performance increase with a decrease in the length of the discharge hose and a decrease in its height, a decrease in the rolling friction coefficients for the rollers and a rejection of side rollers. Practical value. The results of using the developed method for studying dynamic processes were presented when a real construction of a peristaltic pump was being created. The suggested approach is high-potential for the modernization of existing and the development of new models of peristaltic pumps.
