Pension provision for teaching staff
Authors: Качер О.В.
Published: June 2024

в статье рассматривается историческая динамика изменения статуса педагогического работника, его финансового обеспечения и специфики пенсионных выплат. Отдельно рассматриваются особенности пенсионного обеспечения педагогических работников в период существования Российской империи, специфика трансформации социальной защиты педагога при реализации специализированной государственной политики Советского Союза, а также сравнительная составляющая государственной пенсионной политики в отношении педагогических работников советского периода и непосредственно в Российской империи. На примере характерных особенностей социальной защиты педагогических работников города Санкт-Петербург рассматривается специфика обеспечения пенсионного порядка, как в аспекте федерального законодательства, так и с учетом регионального компонента. Акцентируется внимание на возможность изменения размера пенсионных выплат в отношении педагогического работника, проживающего в городе Санкт-Петербург, в зависимости от соответствия условиям и критериям различных негосударственных организаций, осуществляющих дополнительные финансовые выплаты педагогическим работникам, которые находятся на пенсии. Приводятся различные примеры, которые указывают, что педагогический работник, в том числе проживающий в городе Санкт-Петербург, может рассчитывать на доплаты, размер которых отличается дифференциальным подходом на основании решения уполномоченных структур или лиц.

the article examines the historical dynamics of changes in the status of a teacher, his financial security and the specifics of pension payments. Separately, the features of the pension provision of teaching staff during the existence of the Russian Empire, the specifics of the transformation of the social protection of the teacher in the implementation of the specialized state policy of the Soviet Union, as well as the comparative component of the state pension policy in relation to teaching staff of the Soviet period and directly in the Russian Empire are considered. On the example of the characteristic features of social protection of pedagogical workers of the city of St. Petersburg, the specifics of ensuring the pension order are considered, both in terms of federal legislation and taking into account the regional component. Attention is focused on the possibility of changing the amount of pension payments in respect of a teacher living in the city of St. Petersburg, depending on compliance with the conditions and criteria of various non-governmental organizations that make additional financial payments to teachers who are retired. Various examples are given that indicate that a pedagogical worker, including one living in the city of St. Petersburg, can count on additional payments, the amount of which differs by a differential approach based on the decision of authorized structures or persons.

An overview of deep learning techniques for medical image processing based on big data is given in this article. This article covers the pros and cons of adopting big data for medical imaging, from data storage and analysis to data capture. Beyond that, we take a look at medical image analysis using deep learning algorithms such as recurrent neural network (RNN), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and generative adversarial network (GAN), and we highlight its advantages and disadvantages. We also examine recent innovations such as transfer learning, multi-modal imaging fusion, and federated learning, which can improve the accuracy and efficiency of medical image processing systems. Finally, we discuss how medical image processing driven by deep learning could improve clinical decision-making, patient outcomes, and the development of personalized medicine in the era of data-driven healthcare.
OSMANZÂDE TÂ’İB’İN KAYIP DİVANI VE BİLİNMEYEN ŞİİRLERİ
Authors: Ekinci Ramazan
Published: June 2024

Kaleme aldığı birçok mensur eserin yanı sıra hiciv ve hezliyâta meyilli yaratılışı, çalkantılı meslek hayatı ve îfâ ettiği mühim resmî vazifelerden dolayı XVIII. asrın meşhur simaları arasında yer alan Osmanzâde Ahmed Tâ’ib, devrin padişahı III. Ahmed tarafından “reis-i şâirân” olarak ilan edilmiştir. Önceki asırlardaki şairler tezkiresi yazarları birçok meşhur şairi “sultanü’ş-şuarâ”, “melikü’ş-şuarâ” vb. vasıflarla yüceltmişlerse de bu ünvan, ilk kez devlet eliyle bir şaire verilmiştir. Osmanzâde Tâ’ib’in muasırı olan biyografik eser yazarları, şairin divanının olup olmadığı hususunda bilgi vermezken muahhar kaynaklar anılan eserinin bulunduğunu kesin bir şekilde ifade etmişlerdir. Yaşadığı devirde çok meşhur bir şahsiyet olmasına rağmen günümüzde yeteri kadar bilinmeyen Osmanzâde Tâ’ib’in divanının nerede olduğu meselesi uzun süre birçok edebiyat tarihçisini meşgul etmiş; ancak eserin herhangi bir nüshası tespit edilememiştir. Bugüne kadar Osmanzâde Tâ’ib’in şiirleri hakkında birçok çalışma yapılmış; araştırmacılarca şairin mecmualarda dağınık vaziyette olan şiirleri bir araya getirilerek değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır. Kimi incelemelerde ise “Tâ’ib” mahlaslı diğer şairlerin şiirleri, Osmanzâde Tâ’ib’e mal edilmiş ve böylelikle şair ve eseriyle alâkalı yanlış değerlendirmelere sebebiyet verilmiştir. Bu makalede öncelikle Osmanzâde Tâ’ib Dîvânı hakkında kaynaklardaki ihtilaflı bilgilerin sebepleri tartışılacaktır. Ardından Avusturya Millî Kütüphanesi’nde kayıtlı bir yazmada bulunan ve bugüne kadar şairin şiirleri hakkında yapılan hiçbir çalışmada yer almayan şiirleri yayımlanacaktır.
BUYRULTULAR ÜZERİNDEN AKLIN YOLU: NİETZSCHE VE DİVAN ŞAİRİNİN ORTAK SÖYLEMLERİ
Authors: Karaköse Saadet , Güzel Alican
Published: June 2024

Felsefe binlerce yıllık bir beşerī tecrübenin var olan ve değişen şartlara dair yorumlarını ihtiva eder. Bu düşünme idmanının içinde insan yaşantısı ve metafizik gibi meseleler tartışılır. 19. asrın en önemli filozoflarından olan Nietzsche, aydınlanmanın insanın içindeki boşluklara faydasının olmadığını iddia ederken çözümü “Üstinsan” ülküsü olarak gösterir. İçinde Hint, Yunan ve İran gibi kadim mitolojilerin tesirini barındıran tasavvufi düşünce biçimi de insanın içindeki boşluklara dair çözüm üretmeye çalışır. Tasavvuf da İnsan-ı Kâmil olarak adlandırdığı Üstinsanı arayış çabası içindedir. Bu hedefe erişmek için de geçilmesi gereken merhaleler vardır. Birbirine zıt görünen, farklı toplum ve kültürlerin içinden çıkan farklı iki düşünce sistemi, ihtiva ettiği farklı hayat tecrübelerine karşın birçok noktada paralellik arzeder. Divan şiiri temel olarak tasavvufi düşünce sisteminin üstüne bina edilmiştir. Klasik şiir, tasavvufi düşüncenin damıtıldığı bir mecra olarak görülebilir. Dünyanın ve dünyaya gelen insanın geçiciliği, insanın dünyada görevlerinin oluşu, insanca yaşama, ölümden sonra bekaya ulaşma ilkeleri ve hepsinden önemlisi toplumu aydınlatma görevi düşünebilen insan için bir vazife olmuştur. Bu vazife kişinin kendi tecrübelerinden; ibret veya örnek aldığı gözlemlerinden ve iç dünyasında cereyan eden sorgulamadan kaynaklanır. Toplumlar ve gelenekler ne kadar farklı olursa olsun insan tabiatı aynıdır. Bu çalışmada Nietzsche ve divan şairleri arasındaki söylem benzerlikleri tartışılacaktır. Mukayese Klasik şiir mantığıyla Nietzche’nin insan, toplum ve tabiatla ilgili görüşleri üzerinden yapılacaktır.
The Past, Present and Future of chimazambi instrument of the Ndau people of Zimbabwe
Authors: Mbofana Fortune , Magwati Phineas
Published: June 2024

This research investigated the factors leading to the decline of the chimazambi musical instrument of the Ndau people of Rusitu Valley in Chimanimani District of Chief Ndima area, Manicaland Province in Zimbabwe. Chimazambi is a Ndau indigenous string instrument which is slightly similar to the chipendani of the Karanga people. While the instrument was performed by the Ndau people in the past, there is no adequate scholarship regarding the origin, use of instrument in the modern times and the future of chimazambi. The study therefore traces the origin of chimazambi instrument. It investigates ways in which the instrument was played as well as its purpose within the Ndau culture. The research adopted a qualitative method, an ethnographic field work. In depth interviews, participant observation, focus group discussions and document analysis were utilized to collect data. The study was mainly informed by postcolonial theory, supported by Ndau epistemologies.  The findings indicate that chimazambi is central in the lives of the Ndau people. It has been revealed that chimazambi was well known for entertaining herd boys. The study further discovered that some identified elders were engaging chimazambi for spiritual healing purposes. Christianity, modernization and migration were discovered to be the major effects responsible for the decline of chimazambi.  The study recommends the revitalization of the instrument through digitalizing, archiving and commercializing it. There is also a need to include the instrument in various modern ceremonies and festivals.

Authors: Nguyen Thi Thanh Van, Phan Thi Lam, Cam Lien
Published: June 2024

Previous studies have investigated the significance of reading proficiency in acquiring the English language and brought attention to the reading difficulties learners have in their learning process. This study examines the use of speed-reading strategies as a method to enhance learners' reading ability. Seventy senior English-major students from the Faculty of Foreign Languages at Dong Nai Technology University were participating in the study during their final semester. The study employed a mixed methodology, which included collecting quantitative data from a pretest-posttest paradigm without a control group, questionnaires before and after the use of speed reading strategies, and qualitative data through observations. The students' reading competence was assessed using a standardized IELTS reading test at the start of the study, followed by a pre questionnaire and 10 hours of speed reading training with observations. After the training, the students took a posttest to determine the discrepancy between the pre-test and post-test, and post questionnaire was sent to the participants to understand their opinion about the use of strategies in doing tests. Speed reading techniques were found to enhance students' performance on reading tests and cultivate a positive attitude towards reading comprehension. The students gained valuable reading skills and strategies that contribute to academic success.

Botswana Coal: Navigating Economic Diversification and Climate Commitments
Authors: Tautsagae Mojadi Kevan , Wu Deli
Published: June 2024

This paper considers the ethical dilemma posed by the Paris Climate Agreement considering the abundant coal exploitation opportunities in Botswana. The estimated 200 billion tons of coal was initially viewed as an opportunity to diversify the Botswana economy away from diamonds. Coal is currently used locally for electricity production and other small scale domestic uses. This paper mainly discusses thermal coal as opposed to coking coal commonly referred to as Met-coal. Lucrative prices on world markets coupled with demand in India and China for coal, Botswana with its massive coal deposits, one of the largest in world, can develop a new export sector which would diversify the diamond dependent economy. In 2012 the Government of Botswana released a Coal Road Map as it then envisaged coal as one of the more propitious areas for economic diversification. However, the potential to develop this export sector has been seriously challenged by the Paris Climate Agreement decision to move away from coal. In the wake of this treaty countries like China and Japan have refocused their efforts in developing renewable energy and this has negatively hampered Botswana’s economic ambitions.

‘Heavy’ life satisfaction: Unveiling the intricate relationships between obesity and well-being in Abu Dhabi
Authors: Badri Masood , Alkhaili Mugheer , Aldhaheri Hamad , Yaqeib Saad , Yang Guang , Albahar Muna , Alrashdi Asma
Published: June 2024

The study investigates the intricate relationship between obesity and well-being among residents in Abu Dhabi. Obesity is recognized as a significant public health concern worldwide, with potential implications for individuals' overall well-being. Understanding the complex associations between obesity and various aspects of well-being is essential for developing effective interventions to promote healthier lifestyles and improve overall quality of life. The research employs path analysis to explore the direct associations between obesity and multiple well-being indicators. Data is collected from residents in Abu Dhabi, focusing on subjective health, subjective mental health, life satisfaction, physical exercise, and satisfaction with social relationships. Path analysis allows for a comprehensive examination of the relationships between obesity and well-being indicators, providing valuable insights into the potential impacts of obesity on individuals' overall well-being. The path model reveals significant direct associations between self-perceived obesity and various well-being indicators. Specifically, obesity demonstrates direct impacts on life satisfaction, subjective mental health, subjective health, physical exercise, and satisfaction with social relationships. Notably, obesity is negatively associated with life satisfaction (-0.017) but positively associated with mental health (0.111), albeit within a negatively framed context. This suggests that obesity may adversely affect mental health despite its positive association. The findings underscore the complexity of the relationship between obesity and well-being among residents in Abu Dhabi. While obesity negatively impacts life satisfaction, it paradoxically shows a positive association with mental health, albeit within a negatively framed context. These results emphasize the importance of addressing obesity as part of efforts to promote overall well-being and improve quality of life among residents in Abu Dhabi. Future interventions should focus on promoting healthier lifestyles and addressing the psychological impacts of obesity to enhance residents' overall well-being and happiness.
Attractive appearance, future wealth! How exposure to visual wealth on social media contributes to female self-objectification
Authors: Luo Man , Yang Feng
Published: June 2024

Exposure to visual wealth on social media is a common phenomenon in daily life, but little research has been conducted to examine how this phenomenon affects individuals’ self-concept. By employing the social adaptation hypothesis of female self-objectification as a theoretical framework, the present research firstly investigated how visual wealth exposure on social media contributed to the self-objectification of women, and the downstream consequences linked to the self-objectification. To this end, three preregistered online studies were conducted. By adopting an online questionnaire survey, Study 1 found that there was a significantly positive relationship between visual wealth exposure and self-objectification, and economic inequality perception and competence perception played a chain-mediating role between them. By randomly assigning participants to the wealth-relevant image exposure condition or the natural scenery image exposure condition, Study 2 conceptually replicated the findings of Study 1. The following Study 3 further found that, participants exposed to wealth-relevant images displayed more preferences for an appearance-dominated job (working as a network entertainment-anchor) than those exposed to natural scenery images, and self-objectification mediated the effect of exposure condition on career choice. The current research provided additional empirical supports for the social adaptation hypothesis of female self-objectification, and also deepened our understanding of the relationship between social media use and the self-objectification of women.

Background/Aims: Dilation of the tract before stent deployment is a challenging step in endoscopic ultrasound-guided pancreatic duct drainage (EUS-PDD). In this study, we examined the effectiveness and safety of a novel spiral dilator, Tornus ES (Asahi Intec), for EUS-PDD.Methods: This was a retrospective, single-arm, observational study at Aichi Cancer Center Hospital. The punctured tract was dilated using a Tornus ES dilator in all EUS-PDD cases. Our primary endpoint was the technical success rate of initial tract dilation. Technical success was defined as successful fistula dilation using a Tornus ES followed by successful stent insertion. Secondary endpoints were procedure times and early adverse events.Results: A total of 12 patients were included between December 2021 and March 2023. EUS-PDD was performed in 11 patients for post-pancreaticoduodenectomy anastomotic strictures and one patient with pancreatitis with duodenal perforation. The technical success rates of stent insertion and fistula dilation using a Tornus ES dilator was 100%. The median procedure time was 24 minutes. No remarkable adverse events related to the procedure were observed, apart from fever, which occurred in 2 patients.Conclusions: Tract dilation in EUS-PDD using a Tornus ES is effective and safe.

Background: The patient undergoing ostomy surgery experiences changes in multiple areas of their life related to their altered self-perception. In addition to potential postoperative complications, they face significant physical, physiological, psychological, and social changes that directly affect their physical and mental health. An ostomy is a process that saves thousands of lives every day and offers a second chance to patients suffering from diseases such as colorectal cancer, visceral perforation, diverticula, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and others. It involves redirecting a hollow viscus to the surface of the body in a location different from its natural opening, creating an opening on the surface of the body called a stoma, which diverts the intestinal transit. The patient will require a collecting bag for bodily waste. Currently, there are multiple investigations aimed at assessing the quality of life related to the health of patients who have undergone this surgical intervention, and the concerns they experience in their day-to-day lives. Therefore, this systematic review analyzed the literature in order to determine the perceived impact on quality of life related to health in ostomized patients. Material and methods: A systematic retrospective search was conducted in the following databases: PubMed (MEDLINE), TripDatabase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar and PsycINFO. The MESH search terms used in this study were: Colostomy; Stoma; Ostomy; Ileostomy; Quality of life; Complications; Adaptations; Problems. Using the Boolean operators OR and AND. A total of 527 articles were obtained as a result, of which 17 articles met the inclusion criteria of this study. Results: A total of 9308 patients were studied, 55.65% of whom were men and 44.34% were women. 73.53% underwent colostomy procedures, while 24.15% underwent ileostomy, 76.28% maintained a permanent ostomy, and 20.93% had a temporary ostomy. Of the total number of studies evaluated, it was observed that ostomized patients had a clear alteration in quality of life in one or more of the analyzed variables. Conclusion: The quality of life of ostomy patients is severely impacted. Among the analyzed variables, the causes of this finding were: changes in body image, lack of control over bowel evacuation, unpleasant odors, unpleasant sounds, constipation, and leaks. The consequences of these findings were: disruptions in physical self-perception, psychological, social, and emotional alterations, low self-esteem, depressive feelings, changing clothing, difficulties traveling, social isolation, deterioration of the family role, and insecurity in managing their ostomy.

La docencia es un proceso de continuum inacabados, donde el docente se forma mediado por la práctica, atendiendo a un holismo de significados interconectados entre la razón-contexto-cultura; allí, el niño y niña se redescubre como sujeto capaz y pensante; nutre sus acciones desde el conexo de sentidos que la direccionalidad de la enseñanza le otorga. Es por ello, que la didáctica representa ese caudal constitutivo, esa metódica que adapta sistemas de apresto a las competencias escolares, posibilitadora de hacer que los estudiantes aprendan a aprender y aprendan a hacer, generando un acervo metacognitivo de utilidad epistémica. Sobre esta realidad, se plantea como objetivo describir el impacto de las estrategias creativas en las praxis docentes asociadas al aprendizaje por competencias en las ciencias sociales: una perspectiva desde la innovación tecnológica en la Educación General Básica de Ecuador.

An Assessment of the Effectiveness of the Enterprise Growth Market (EGM) as an Alternative Capital Market in Tanzania, A Case of Selected Companies
Authors: Magambo Evelyne
Published: June 2024

The two main obstacles to Tanzanian growth, according to the 2010 Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Survey Report, are a lack of operating capital and restricted access to financial markets. The Capital Markets and Securities Authority (CMSA) conducted a study to address the financing issues faced by Tanzanian SMEs. The report proposed the creation of an EGM market sector at the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE) to meet the capital-raising needs of SMEs. It is therefore the purpose of this study was to establish the effectiveness of the Enterprise Growth Market Segment as an alternative capital market in Tanzania. The study used quantitative study techniques. The population of the study included medium enterprises that have the potential to enlist in the EGM. The sample size is 150 respondents and only 142 responded. The researcher used both primary and secondary data. The study has revealed that the EGM is relevant for the growth of the country’s economy through the empowerment of the SME industry in Tanzania as it provides an alternative source of capital. However, the findings have revealed that the intended enterprises are still reluctant to use the window as they lack information, knowledge and difficult terms and conditions. The listed companies on the EGMs have performed fairly well in their IPO. It is therefore suggested that the DSE should do more sensitization concerning the window.
