UNIVERSALS AND PARTICULARISM ENGLISH YOUTH WORK
Authors:   Brunel University, BRADFORD SIMON
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT Trusting, open and voluntarily established personal relationships between youth workers and young people have been central to youth work since the 1960s, and youth work’s educational traditions emphasize an optimistic and hopeful account of youth and young people. Recent changes in public services, broadly associated with neo-liberal political ideology, have led to a policy departure from youth work’s informal educational aims. Youth workers are increasingly required to adopt a more instrumental approach to achieving auditable objectives, typified by targeted work with so-called at risk young people. The paper argues that this broad shift undermines youth work’s educational centre of gravity and moves it from a broadly expressive to an instrumental register, threatening youth work’s distinctive educational and social identity. Keywords: Youth, Policy, Professionalism, Education, Audit, Managerialism

Bangladesh towards green growth: a review of environmental sustainability indicators
Authors: Datta Rony Kumar
Published: May 2024

Pursuing green growth is crucial for Bangladesh to transition from an unsustainable economic trajectory to a more sustainable and inclusive one. Bangladesh is picked for this study because of impending and severe economic and environmental threats. This study intends to review the present scenario of various environmental sustainability-related indicators in Bangladesh, focusing on renewable energy consumption, freshwater resources, water productivity, CO2 emissions, energy intensity, air pollution, and natural resource rents. The World Bank database has been utilized to obtain secondary time series data of Bangladesh spanning from 2000 to 2020. As a descriptive study, cross-sectional and observational research methods as well as descriptive statistics and figures are used to elucidate the secondary data. Data demonstrate that Bangladesh now generates 41.16% of its energy from renewables, despite considerable variability. Regardless of the variation in freshwater availability, averaging at 708.19 cubic meters per capita, efficient water productivity remains consistent, indicating a robust water management system. The country demonstrates a relatively low carbon footprint, emitting 0.35 metric tons of CO2 per capita, alongside varying energy intensity levels, highlighting the need for enhanced efficiency measures. While pervasive PM2.5 air pollution poses a significant health risk, Bangladesh's reliance on natural resource rents underscores the importance of sustainable resource management practices for long-term economic stability. The observations of this study might assist in the formulation of policies of water management systems, air pollution control initiatives, and conservation of ecology to promote Bangladesh's long-term sustainability objectives and formulate policies.

An Analysis of How Logistics Integration Affects Organizational Performance in Kenya's Clearing and Forwarding Sector. A Structural Equation Modelling Approach.
Authors: Mutuma Raphael , Meteur Getrude
Published: May 2024

The performance of logistics service providers in Kenya is marred by poor customer satisfaction, stemming from delays experienced in port clearance, disintegrated clearance systems, complex regulations, inefficient document processing and lack of integrated information systems. This study examined the effect of logistics integration on organizational performance among the Clearing and Forwarding firms in Kenya. It adopted a cross-sectional design and collected primary data through structured questionnaires. Simple and stratified random sampling were used to select respondents and ethical approvals obtained before collecting data using structured questionnaires. Data were collected from 298 employees from the operations, customer service, and finance departments. Using SPSS and SPSS AMOS 29, the study used descriptive statistics and structural equation modelling. The study findings revealed a disparity in the level of logistics integration among different Clearing and Forwarding firms in Kenya. This variance in logistics integration significantly impacts the overall organizational performance of these firms. From SEM analysis, the study established that logistics integration has a positive and significant effect (Path coefficient = 0.791, C.R = 5.664, P-value < 0.001) on the organizational performance of C&F companies in Kenya. The study concludes that enhancing logistics integration will lead to a substantial improvement in the organizational performance of C&F companies in Kenya. Thus, managers responsible for strategy should aim to collaborate with strategic partners such as state corporations managing ports and customs processes (KRA and Kenya Ports Authority), shipping lines, transportation companies, and other key stakeholders in the C&F supply chain in integrating logistics systems and processes.
ПЕРЕСЕЛЕННЯ НІМЕЦЬКИХ КОЛОНІСТІВ ІЗ ЧЕРНІГІВСЬКОЇ ТА ПОЛТАВСЬКОЇ ГУБЕРНІЙ НА ПІВДЕННОУКРАЇНСЬКІ ЗЕМЛІ в другій чверті ХІХ ст.
Authors: Герасимчук Олександр
Published: May 2024

Важливими чинниками, які впливають не лише на демографічні параметри населення, а й на життєдіяльність країни в цілому, є міграційні процеси. Показовим може бути накопичений досвід у минулі століття державотворення на українських землях, особливо під час здійснення переселенської політики й інтеграції іноземних переселенців на Південь України. Сьогодні вивчення тогочасної практики є актуальним і необхідним для вироблення збалансованої державної політики стосовно національних меншин. Дослідницька робота в цьому напрямку є цінним надбанням для більш поглибленого вивчення історії нашої країни. Метою цієї статті є дослідження особливостей переселенського руху німецьких колоністів, які жили в Чернігівській та Полтавській губерніях, на південноукраїнські землі в другій чверті ХІХ ст. Методологічною основою дослідження є принципи історизму, науковості та обʼєктивності, що сприяло неупередженому та достовірному підходу до зʼясування конкретних фактів та демонстрації логіки розвитку змін в історичному процесі. Методи дослідження ґрунтуються на принципах історизму та об’єктивності; вони представлені загальнонауковими методами аналізу, синтезу та спеціально-історичними – історико-порівняльними й історико-генетичними. Наукова новизна дослідження: вперше на основі архівних матеріалів розглянуто особливості переселення мешканців німецьких колоній Чернігівщини та Полтавщини на землі Південної України в другій чверті ХІХ ст. Висновки: за всю історію перебування на теренах України німецькі поселенці зробили вагомий внесок у політичний, соціально-економічний та культурний розвиток нашої Батьківщини. Можна стверджувати, що історія німецьких колоністів стала невідʼємною частиною як історії Північного Лівобережжя, так і загалом усієї України.
«КОНТРРЕВОЛЮЦІЙНА ТА АНТИРАДЯНСЬКА ДІЯЛЬНІСТЬ» ГАННИ ЛАВРЕНТІЇВНИ КОЛОМІЄЦЬ у 30-х рр. ХХ ст. (ЗА МАТЕРІАЛАМИ КРИМІНАЛЬНОЇ СПРАВИ)
Authors: Нестеренко Лідія
Published: May 2024

В умовах війни й розбудови ПЦУ перед Україною постало завдання – остаточно ліквідувати залишки радянського тоталітаризму та інтегруватися у світові та європейські інституції. То ж нині особливо актуальними є дослідження з історії Церкви в радянську добу, оскільки головною метою більшовицької влади стало знищення самоідентифікації віруючих і становлення нового – радянського суспільства. Метою цієї роботи є показ трагедії Ганни Лаврентіївни Коломієць, яку «за проведення антирадянської агітації» у 1937 р. було заарештовано, а згодом відправлено відбувати покарання терміном на 8 років. Методологічну основу дослідження становлять принципи історизму, об’єктивності, системності. Методи: проблемно-пошуковий, хронологічний, історико-системний та аналітичний. Новизна дослідження. Уперше до наукового обігу в повному обсязі введено нові архівні документи – досліджено життя Ганни Лаврентіївни Коломієць.   Висновки. У 30–50-х рр. минулого століття радянською владою здійснювалося переслідування інакомислячих людей. Особливо це стосувалося представників Церкви, противників закриття храмів чи людей, які об’єктивно давали оцінку діям радянської влади. Таких людей висилали на певний час з України чи взагалі розстрілювали.   Переглядаючи минуле, переконуємося: для нас важлива мужність і громадянська позиція жінки. Незважаючи на всі репресивні дії радянської влади проти Церкви в кінці 20–30-х рр. минулого століття, Г. Коломієць не зреклася своїх релігійних переконань. Перебуваючи в ув’язненні чи вийшовши на волю, вона продовжувала відстоювати свої права, добиваючись перегляду кримінальної справи та реабілітації. Проте цей процес затягнувся на декілька десятиліть: з 1939 до 1972 рр., коли Постанову трійки Чернігівського УНКВС за 14 листопада 1937 р. по відношенню Г. Коломієць було відмінено, справу закрито за недоказовістю складу злочину. Ганну Лаврентіївну Коломієць було реабілітовано.

Published: May 2024

Метою статті є висвітлення правового статусу ветеранів дивізії «Галичина» від липня 1944 р., коли вони вперше потрапили в радянський полон, і до сьогоднішнього дня. Аналіз нормативних документів, архівних матеріалів, біографічних даних окремих ветеранів дивізії, усних свідчень, зібраних авторкою, найновішої української та західної літератури становить наукову новизну, адже, за винятком поодиноких згадок, їхня повоєнна історія досі всебічно не розглядалася.   Висновки. З’ясовано, якими були життєві траєкторії «українських дивізійників», порівняно з тими, які після Другої світової війни були інтерновані англійськими та американськими військами. Кістяк Галицького братства в 1992 р. склали ті, хто брав участь у битві під Бродами в липні 1944 р. (майже 80% членів). Після Бродівського котла вояки дивізії потрапили в радянський полон, і/або повернулись додому, і/або поповнили лави УПА. Зрештою, так чи інакше, більшість із них було заарештовано в повоєнні роки радянською владою, що трактувала їх як «зрадників Батьківщини», які перейшли на бік ворога. Тим не менш, є невеликий відсоток осіб, яким вдалося уникнути арешту. Їхній офіційний статус практично не змінився як після розпаду СРСР, так і після проведення політики декомунізації, частині ветеранів було відмовлено в реабілітації.

Although the use of plants for medicinal purposes is an ancient practice, there is a perception that in the field of chemical dependency, its role has been and is little studied. With regard to alcohol dependence, the third leading cause of hospitalization in psychiatric hospitals in Mozambique, an ethnobotanical work was carried out in 2018 in the Municipality of Massinga, province of Inhambane, with the aim of identifying with practitioners of traditional medicine, the plants they use in their treatment, having resulted, among other plants, in the identification of Grewia flavescens, from which the need arose, based on phytochemical prospecting and literary framework support, to carry out a study of a preliminary nature on the bioactive potential of the root extract (part indicated in the survey) of Grewia flavescens in the treatment of alcohol dependence. The results showed the presence of Flavonoids, Tannins, Alkaloids, Triterpenoids and Saponins. About this group of bioactives, there is bibliographical evidence that points to the anxiolytic and anti-depressant action of Flavonoids, Saponins and Alkaloids, allowing to infer that these can act as mood stabilizers in patients in the phase of alcohol withdrawal syndrome and craving during treatment, not despite deepening from preclinical studies.
Kalām im antiken Gewand: Das theologische Konzept des Kitāb sirr al-ḫalīqa
Authors: Rudolph Ulrich
Published: May 2024

Literary works that were transmitted anonymously or under pseudonyms in the Middle Ages are often considered secondary literature today. These works are frequently accused of plagiarism, thus their ideas may not be seen as independent or taken seriously. The paper discusses a book of this nature referred to by several titles: “The Book of the Secrets of Creation,” “The Book of Causes,” or “The Comprehensive Book of Things.” It is a philosophical encyclopedia that may have been compiled in the early 9th century during the reign of the Caliph Ma’mūn.
Indian ʽulamā’'s Views on Popular Culture
Authors: Baljon J. M. S.
Published: May 2024

Documents of early Islam show that from the very beginning Muslims hesitated between a flat rejection and a tacitly glossing over of certain harmless looking features of popular culture and religion. It is a truism to establish that common people always try to draw the heaven to the earth as near as possible. And if this rule holds good for any region where Muslims dwell, it is certainly true of the Indo-Pakistani Subcontinent, exposed to the alluring Hindu rituals and festivities. This paper is confined to the views expressed on this matter by the Indian ʽulamā’ of the last two centuries.

Koran Quotations in the “Dictionary of Common People” by Yūsuf al-Maġribī
Authors: Frolova O. B.
Published: May 2024

This article presents an analysis of the Koran quotations in the “Dictionary of Common People” (Dafʿ al-ʿiṣr ʿan kalām ahl Miṣr) compiled by Yūsuf al-Maġribī (d. 1611). In this dictionary the author’s wish was to prove that the spoken language of the Egyptians, i.e., the Egyptian dialect, was the ‘genuine Arabic or close to it’. He was a supporter of the dialect and rejected all notions describing it as a low and vulgar form of the language. A natural and essential part of his arguments were Koran quotations in which he found the same words and figures of speech that are characteristic of the Egyptian dialect.
Applications of Folk Astronomy and Mathematical Astronomy to Aspects of Muslim Ritual
Authors: King David A.
Published: May 2024

Modern accounts of Islamic astronomy, with their emphasis upon technical achievements, tend to ignore the simple, popular astronomy which flourished alongside mathematical astronomy in the Islamic world throughout the medieval period. This popular tradition was far more widely practised than mathematical astronomy but has not yet received the attention it deserves. This paper will discuss the two main trends in Islamic astronomy and then point to the areas of interaction and overlap of interest between them.
Popular and Official Islam: Contemporary Developments with Special Reference to Iran
Authors: Waardenburg Jacques
Published: May 2024

The primary aim of this article is to define and describe the way in which different groups and persons describe and define their Islam, what they themselves consider to be Islamic and in which situations they express themselves on the subject. In other words, the leading question is what it means when particular Muslims in particular situations appeal to Islam, express their loyalty to Islam, defend Islam or take Islam as self-evident truth on which life and society should be based. Contrary to official, normative Islam, popular Islam is experiential by it very nature. It has its own norms and values, and forms specific to particular groups and persons, and the religious forms are always interwoven with other elements of social and individual life. The article also presents a case study, that of Iran.
Problems of Authorship in Classical Arabic Literature
Authors: Khalidov A. B.
Published: May 2024

Research into classical Arabic literature is inevitably connected with the identification of authors. This task is rendered difficult not only because of the great number of Arab authors throughout history, but also because there has been no unified designation of authors. This situation has been further complicated by the not clear differentiation of imitation or borrowing and the misappropriation (theft) of somebody else’s invention.
Survival of an Old Literary Genre: al-Baġdādī's Account of His Journey to Brazil
Authors: Ormos István
Published: May 2024

The article presents ʿAbdarraḥmān al-Baġdādī’s Musalliyat al-ġarīb (‘The Stranger’s Entertaining Story of Oddities’). The author lived in the 19th century and was active as an Imām in the Imperial Ottoman Navy. It was due to a violent storm in the Atlantic that he landed in Brazil in 1865. The work, apparently surviving in a unique manuscript, is an account of all the author saw in Brazil, and subsequently, somewhat more succinctly, of his impressions of the places he visited on his way back to his home in Damascus. The text, which showcases the author’s interest in all the miraculous elements and phenomena he encountered on his journey, is a late specimen of Arabic travel literature.

Published: May 2024

Nursing professionals have recognized implementing evidence-based practice(EBP) and research findings into nursing care as barriers. This article recognizes the major obstacles to the clinical use of research from the international literature, but it offers few solutions. This article gives the detailed process of EBP as well as its barrier and possible solutions in an effort to help the nursing child health care system better integrate evidence and research into their clinical care. The authors talk about the novel, team-based steps and strategy that takes into account the roles of clinical academic, nurse consultant, and research facilitator. A realistic and workable structure must be used to guarantee that excellent evidence-based practice is included in clinical nursing care. It is possible to maximize the promotion of EBP and research for patient benefit with the proper framework, clinical organization, and organizational support. There is also discussion of some child health practices in EBP from international articles with their consequences for practice. From this paper, the authors concluded that a more active nursing research culture and the promotion of evidencebased care in the workplace might be influenced by integrating a realistic research framework into clinical nursing practice

The word "management" refers to a procedure, a career, and a group of individuals. A range of disciplines, including philosophy, economics, mathematics, political science, and behavioral sciences have contributed to the body of knowledge known as management, which is multidimensional in nature. Health care management is the study of a few facets of healthcare, such as quality assurance, international health care systems, health care economy, and health care policy as they relate to the diagnosis, prevention, and management of sickness.In importance of management in health care includes accomplishment of the organization goal, provides vision and mission, increase efficiency, crystallize nature of management, effective utilization of resources, brings harmony in group, to improve research& to attain social goals. The levels of management in health care can be classified in three broad categories on the basis of hierarchy, their position and relative responsibilities. These levels are: Top Level of Management, Middle Level of Management & Lower Level of Management (Operative level of Management).In skills of management in health care includes communication, teamwork, flexibility stress management, time management & decision-making. Types of management in health care are clinical management, health care consulting, medical entrepreneurship, nursing home management, health insurance underwriting management, academia & emergency management. Functions of nursing management in health care includes Planning, Organising, Staffing, Directing and Control ling.The principles of management in nursing are the statements of fundamental truth related to nursing field. which are derived at through observation and analysis of events, faced by Managers in practice in clinical include Division of Work, Authority and Responsibility, Discipline, Unity of Command, Unity of Direction, Subordination of individual interest, Remuneration, Centralization, Scalar chain, Order ,Equity, Stability of Tenure of Personnel ,Initiative, & Esprit de Corps Future nursing administration and management will be impacted by a number of issues and developments, including the nursing shortage, opportunities for lifelong learning, the significant advancements in nursing science and research, the challenge of managed care, and the impact of health policy and regulation. Management is a systemic process of management activity, which is based on financial status, objectives, activities and control or authority over workers

Starting with different drug administration methods, Here is a summary of medication delivery methods. (DDS). The descriptions of different medication formulations, drug delivery systems, and targeted drug delivery systems follow. Delivering proteins and peptides has unique difficulties. The delivery of drugs is thought to be improved by nanoparticles, which can be both pharmacological and diagnostic in nature. The advancement of personalised medicine, which encompasses pharmacogenomics, pharmacogenetics, and pharmacoproteomic, will be made easier by improvements in medication administration. The ideal DDS, commercial considerations, present successes, difficulties, and possibilities are also covered. The pharmaceutical active component can be released via the drug delivery method to produce the desired therapeutic effect. The low bioavailability and erratic plasma drug levels of conventional drug delivery methods (tablets, capsules, syrups, ointments, etc.) prevent them from delivering sustainable delivery. The entire therapy procedure may be ineffective without a reliable delivery mechanism. To achieve optimal efficacy and safety, the medicine must also be administered at a precisely regulated rate and at the intended spot. The issues with traditional medication delivery are addressed by the invention of controlled drug delivery systems. Over the last 20 years, controlled drug delivery systems have seen a significant change, progressing from large- and nanoscale to intelligent focused delivery. The first section of this study offers a fundamental overview of drug delivery methods with a focus on the medication's pharmacokinetics. It also talks bout the limits of traditional medication delivery methods. Drug delivery systems are also covered in detail, along with design factors, categories, and illustrations. Additionally, the use of stimuli-responsive and intelligence materials for targeted and smart medication administration is presented together with recent key discoveries. The obstacles and potential prospects for regulated medication distribution are discussed in the paper's conclusion
RECOGNIZING AND NAVIGATING ETHICAL ISSUES IN NURSING Abstract
Authors: Giri Suchismita
Published: May 2024

Nurses are essential to patients. Nurses have an impact on people's lives at some of life's highs and lows. As a result, it is critical that we consider nurses and nursing. What do our patients expect from nurses, and how do we, as a society, as nurses, and as health-care leaders, meet those expectations? The first step is to acknowledge that nursing, as a practise, is founded on moral values. The nursepatient relationship, which is central to the delivery of nursing care, is ethically significant. It is also critical to consider how the context in which nurses practise can shape and be shaped by nursing moral values.These moral values form what can be termed the ethical dimension of nursing. As a result, it is critical that we investigate and evaluate these moral values. Codes of conduct are a collective attempt by the nursing profession to express its underlying values. The institutions in which nurses work either facilitate or impede the actual expression of these values in nursing practise and patient care. We must recognise the interplay of these various factors to ensure that we, as nurses, potential patients, and members of society, understand what good nursing practise entails, how it manifests itself in practise, and how it can be supported. The purpose of this chapter is to identify the ethical domain of nursing practise and to emphasise its importance for good nursing care and a safe, supportive patient experience

Published: May 2024

Modern diagnostic and therapeutic procedures using radiopharmaceuticals' original radiotracers are made possible by the medical specialty known as radiopharmaceuticals (Nuclear Medicine) (drugs linked to a radioactive isotope). Since radiopharmaceuticals are regarded as a unique class of medications on a global scale, each member nation has created a set of laws that govern their production and usage. Mild doses of the radiopharmaceuticals used in diagnostic exams are given. Thus, they have neither the required pharmacological action nor any undesirable side effects or severe adverse responses. The main drawback of their use is that they affect biodistribution, which could lead to incorrect diagnoses. Nuclear medicine is expanding significantly, but it is also impacted by the emergence and development of novel radiopharmaceuticals in both the diagnostic and therapeutic domains, as well as by the use of new multimodal imaging techniques (SPECT-CT, PET-CT, PETMRI, etc.). It is essential to understand the restrictions placed on such approaches, the distribution and potential physiological changes caused by radiopharmaceuticals, the contraindications and unfavourable effects of radiological contrasts, and the potential for both of these factors to interfere

Women go through menopause naturally as they age. Many women transition into menopause with few or no symptoms, while others experience severe or even incapacitating symptoms. When female gynaecologist Trotula of Salerno stated that "there are older women who put forth blood matter especially when menopause approaches them" in the 11th century, we had a very different notion of the menopause. However, little is understood regarding the effects of menopause on women's mental health, particularly in the case of severe and persistent conditions like schizophrenia. Many postmenopausal women get vulvovaginal atrophy, which is brought on by an inadequate oestrogen supply. Vaginal dryness, itching, irritation, and dyspareunia are symptoms. Oestrogen therapy was the usual for lowering bone loss when a link between menopause and osteoporosis was first recognised in the past, but there was little information on fracture prevention even though it was thought to be effective. Up until the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) research published data on 6 years of hormone therapy treatment in 2001, which showed an increase in heart attacks and breast cancer, this persisted. Patients were concerned and there was a significant decline in oestrogen use even though the hazards were minimal (1 per 1500 users annually). In further analyses, the WHI trial demonstrated that oestrogen in women between the ages of 50 and 60 really decreased fractures and averted heart attacks
