Ways of development of theory and practice of social work in the conditions of globalization
Authors: Klos Liliia
Published: January 2022

The article is devoted to the results of research of the directions of development of theoretical knowledge and practice of social work as an independent branch in the conditions of growth of globalization influences on the social sphere. It is established that globalization has contributed to the focus of representatives of the international professional communities of social workers on the issues of mission, purpose of social work. In particular, the recognition of professional activity of social workers as one that contributes to social change, development, social cohesion, strengthening people's ability to function independently, freeing them from the negative, dangerous influences of the environment and the environment. Particular emphasis in the practice of social work - on the observance of the principles and values of the profession, such as social justice, respect for human rights, respect for diversity.

Representatives of international professional organizations of social workers - the International Federation of Social Workers (IFAS), the International Association of Schools of Social Work (ISAF) and the International Council for Social Welfare - are leading the way in shaping the development of the theory and practice of social work. Thanks to the joint efforts of active representatives of these global professional communities in the field of social work, a number of studies have been conducted with the involvement of professionals from all levels of social work practice - from micro to macro and including social policy. This made it possible to find that in the context of ongoing and growing globalization changes in the world there is a growing social inequality in access to basic resources. Inequality in access to health services is particularly illustrative, prompting social workers to recognize this area of the social sphere as one of the most threatening in terms of social justice and human rights. One of the urgent ways to solve this problem is to promote social development, which is realized through the formation of strong and stable communities. Achieving this will be facilitated by the stable well-being and strengthening of the role of social work practitioners in improving and strengthening communities.
Professional competence of future educators: theoretical approaches to its formation on the basis of competence approach
Authors: Kovrey Dora , Bobyrieva Olena
Published: January 2022

The modern preschool educational establishment has been actively becoming an "institution of socialization", and the educator must be an example for children and have the appropriate level of professional competence. It has been established that from the psychological and pedagogical point of view a professionally competent educator has deep knowledge, has developed pedagogical abilities, perfect professional skills, formed professional self-awareness and pedagogical thinking, as well as skills of self-learning and self-improvement. It has been found that the main characteristics of the professional competence of future educators are: perfect mastery of theoretical knowledge; pedagogical skills; self-improvement and creative work on oneself; mastering cultural, ethno-spiritual potential; using of the newest methods of training and education of children of preschool age. There are five main functions in the professional activity of an educator: organization, planning, control and assistance, pedagogical analysis. To the range of main roles of an educator we include: teaching, helping children to acquire new knowledge, and educating on the basis of creative motivation. An important role in the professional competence of educators has given to personal qualities (openness, friendliness, empathy, sincerity). A modern educator must be an innovative researcher, organizer, facilitator, consultant, and coach.

The leading role in the formation of professional competence of future educators has been played by the competence approach. This approach is a fundamental methodological guideline, because it allows you to make a holistic, integrated view about the activities of the educator. Its implementation will provide knowledge, activity, and motivational readiness, promote the formation of creativity and encourage reflection. The competency approach will allow students to improve the methodology of implementation of didactic, educational, developmental and socializing interactive technologies in preschool educational establishments.
Bank Competition and Credit Access: The Case of Informal Firms in Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Moyo Busani , Sibindi Athenia Bongani
Published: January 2022

Purpose of the study: This paper investigates the impact of bank competition on access to finance by informal firms in 14 sub-Saharan African countries, using World Bank enterprise survey data. Access to finance is one of the main factors identified as hindering the growth of opaque borrowers, who are generally characterised by poor financial transparency.
Methodology: This study uses a discrete binary choice probit model to estimate the probability or likelihood of accessing finance, conditional on the level of bank competition and other firm-level characteristics.
Findings: Results show that the impact depends on the competition measure used. The Lerner index shows a positive relationship supporting the information-based hypothesis, while the most robust competition indicator, the Boone index, is negative in line with the market power hypothesis. These results also show that reducing or minimising information asymmetry using public credit registries is good for enhancing financial access.
Research implications: Improving the competitiveness of the banking sector by encouraging the entrance of more players should be promoted without compromising the soundness of the sector. Measures should be introduced to control anti-competitive behaviour in the banking industry.
Originality: The informal sector contributes close to 50% to Africa’s GDP and 80% towards employment and, therefore, strategies aimed at eliminating the obstacles faced by these firms are important for livelihood protection. Many studies done on the African banking industry have generally found it to be less competitive and this affects financial access since banks tend to be risk averse in such settings. There are also few studies that have analysed the relationship between bank competition and credit access in the informal sector, mostly because publicly available data on these firms are scarce.
Financial Inclusion and Household Wellbeing in Namibia
Authors: Mukong Alfred Kechia , Amadhila Elina
Published: January 2022

Purpose: Financial inclusion is increasingly being recognised as having an important influence on household wellbeing, as it provides resources and income, enhances consumption and investment in productive assets and stimulates overall economic growth. In this paper, we examine the impact of financial inclusion on household wellbeing in Namibia.
Design/methodology: Using data extracted from the 2017 Namibia Financial Inclusion Survey, a UNDP approach for computing human development indices is used to generate a wellbeing index. Two-stage least squares regression analysis is employed to address the potential endogeneity associated with financial inclusion.
Findings: The results suggest the positive and significant effects of financial inclusion on household wellbeing. The effects are consistent across location and gender when different methodological approaches are applied. Household characteristics such as education, income, and financial decisions, are important determinants of household wellbeing.
Implications: National and international agencies are encouraged to promote policies that enhance the ability of both the public and private sector to innovate and expand financial services to vulnerable populations.
Originality/value: An inclusive financial system is key in determining the level of household wellbeing, but many studies have utilised macro time-series data as opposed to household data, to tease out this relationship.
Assessment Model Measuring Key Success Factors in Co-operative Financial Institutions to Improve Penetration Rate
Authors: Ismaila Bouba , Gamede Vangeli
Published: January 2022

Research purpose: This study aims to determine the reasons for the low penetration rate of the South African co-operative financial institution (CFI) sector; and to recommend a valid and reliable tool for assessing key success factors of CFIs. Little research has previously been undertaken on why the South African CFI sector remains small, with a penetration rate of just 0.1%.
Research design, approach and method: This study used a quantitative design to evaluate objective data. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 303 consumers around Tshwane, and from 20 registered CFI representatives around the country. The SPSS software was used to analyse the data.
Main findings: The study revealed that the low penetration rate of the CFI sector is due to consumers’ lack of knowledge about them, their products and activities. An assessment model has been proposed to help address the issue.
Practical implication: The assessment model could be a useful tool for CFIs and other micro-credit lenders, as it aims to assist in measuring the effectiveness of their innovation and entrepreneurial strategies and then to initiate the necessary steps and training programmes to address the problem.
Original value: The study findings provide empirical evidence on possible reasons for the low penetration rate of South African CFIs; and the proposed assessment model may help to improve membership growth and performance in the sector; particularly as no prior study has been conducted to determine the possible reasons for such a low penetration rate of SA co-operative financial institutions.
Mission Policy Challenges of the Presbyterian Church of South Africa, with Reference to the New Brighton Mission Church (1897–1962)
Authors: Duncan Graham
Published: January 2022

Early in the life of settler/colonial Presbyterianism in South Africa (PCSA), congregations embarked on missions to indigenous local peoples. This was done under the supervision of White sponsoring congregations. A considerable period elapsed before any thought was given to the autonomy of these missions, and even longer before autonomy was granted. This article investigates the process and journey towards self-government in African congregations within Presbyterian polity, taking account of the racial and other issues involved—including power and control over Black people who found that the church was virtually the only place where they could exercise any freedom of action. The New Brighton Mission Church is an example of the problems which arose out of the lack of a clear policy.
Indissoluble and Valid Marriage in the Roman Catholic Church and Anglican Church of Southern Africa: A Canonical Review
Authors: Buthelezi Bonginkosi
Published: January 2022

This article is based on a master’s research undertaken at St Augustine College of South Africa, Johannesburg from 2017 to 2019. The study sought to compare and contrast the concept of marriage indissolubility in the Roman Catholic Church and Anglican Church of Southern Africa (ACSA). Canon law is well established as a field of study in the Roman Catholic Church and is documented in the 1983 Code of Canon Law of the Latin Church (Codex Iuris Canonici-CIC/83). However, there has been limited study of canon law in the Anglican Church. The study of canon law in the Anglican Church has developed over the years since it was banned at the English Reformation in the 16th century. The article seeks to demonstrate similarities and differences in the nature of marriage indissolubility and validity in the Roman Catholic Church and the ACSA. It will focus on the jurisprudence of the 1983 Code of Canon Law of the Latin Church and canon 34 of the ACSA.
Socrates and Orunmila in Conversation
Authors: Fayemi Ademola Kazeem
Published: January 2022

The debate on the non-philosophical and non-scientific character of classical African intellectual tradition has spread for so long and become a dominant locus. In the context of the multicultural relations that currently map and shape the contours of human identity, it is now fashionable to appraise cultures and identities not in isolation or with reference to uniqueness but in terms of confluent epistemologies, mutual and inter-related intellectual historical identities. This trend toward networking global intellectual history is laudable, as globality narratives on knowledge production fundamentally entail harmony, shared lifeworld, humanity imaginaries and essences as core moral- epistemological values. Against this background, this article engages in an intercultural analysis of Orunmila in classical Yorùbá-African thought, and Socrates in classical Greek thought, to discover the areas of Afro-European thought confluence in the philosophies of these two historic figures. Consequently, this article uncovers the historical and textual evidence in the oral literature of the Yorùbá that validates the ancient philosophical thoughts of Orunmila as no less sophisticated vis-à-vis that of Socrates in ancient Greek philosophy. This article argues that the classical philosophies of both Socrates and Orunmila are mutually sympathetic with fundamental lessons for developing contemporary intellectual canons of intercultural philosophy.

Abstract
This essay is an inquiry into the perceptions, knowledge, attitudes and beliefs of Young Black Adults towards Covid-19 and the lockdown. The motive for the inquiry is to make a contribution—from the perspective of the humanities and the social sciences—towards the success of the broad-based fight against Covid-19. Our approach is to present the narratives on Covid-19 by those who told their stories and then to present a commentary either per narrative or cumulatively. The commentary will be multidisciplinary; covering, for example, psychology, sociology and philosophy. This essay does not, therefore, present an argument. Instead, it is an interpretative commentary on the narratives. Research, especially in the humanities and the social sciences, was bound to be unusual as well as abnormal because of the lockdown restrictions. The restrictions account for the fact that only Young Black Adults in a specific historical Black township in South Africa were the point of focus. For this reason, the focus is severely limited. Accordingly, the essay bears no intention to extend the perceptions, knowledge beliefs and attitudes found in the area to all Young Black Adults. It is a contribution to the conservation of empirical material for use in propitious scientific conditions.
The Comedy-Scape in Apartheid South Africa: A Historical Overview
Authors: Donian Jennalee
Published: January 2022

Comedy during the apartheid era was an integral medium for indoctrination and pacification. It was also a key instrument through which the apartheid regime was contested, and, in the later years leading up to democracy, a means of promoting the nation-building and cultural reconciliation rhetoric. This notwithstanding, its history during this period remains poorly researched and documented both in academia, specifically, and more broadly in the entertainment and media industry. This article therefore traces the development and practice of comedy in the country under apartheid rule, paying attention to how shifts in content, delivery across platforms and stylistic choices mirror changes in the country’s socio-political landscape. By exploring South African comedy from a historical perspective, this article further highlights the ongoing connectivity of politics and comedy in a way that simultaneously encapsulates issues of space, place and citizenship in evocative ways.
Niphalisation in Ancient Hebrew: A Perspective from the Samaritan Tradition
Authors: Hornkohl Aaron
Published: January 2022

A development in verbal morphology common to multiple forms of ancient Hebrew involves the shift of stative, intransitive, and weakly transitive verbs from G-stem (qal) to N-stem (niphal). Like other Hebrew traditions that crystallised in the Second Temple period, the reading tradition of the Samaritan Pentateuch (consisting of the oral realisation of the constituent consonantal, vocalic, and prosodic components) presents a relatively advanced stage of the shift. Against this tendency, however, Samaritan Hebrew also at times appears to preserve archaic qal morphology. This study surveys salient manifestations of “niphalisation” in Samaritan Hebrew, contrasting them with parallel features in Tiberian Hebrew and other forms of ancient Hebrew and Aramaic, especially Second Temple varieties, and seeks to reveal salient commonalities. While highlighting pertinent secondary features common to Second Temple period sources, the paper also emphasises the historical depth of the shift from qal to niphal.
The Meaning of Qatal
Authors: Grasso Kevin
Published: January 2022

This study proposes a novel semantics for the Biblical Hebrew qatal form that includes both perfective and perfect/anterior meanings. I begin by evaluating other theories of qatal and give six criteria with which they might be evaluated, showing past analyses to be inadequate. These criteria are given as an external check on what makes a satisfactory analysis more generally, and though we can learn from past contributions, they ultimately fall short in one of these six areas. In contrast, I show that my theory meets these six criteria for what makes an adequate theory. The single meaning that I give for the qatal form is labelled a “perfect,” which I define as an aspectual form that refers to a temporal interval in which either a state holds with a possible preceding event or an event takes place that potentially precedes a state. This is qatal’s particular contribution to the context, though it may have different interpretations as it interacts with various verbal predicates and syntactic and discourse contexts. With this meaning, I account for all the temporal uses of qatal as well as the more difficult optative/precative and counterfactual interpretations. While qatal’s varied uses are recognised and explained, we are able to hold to a single meaning for the form, which is the simplest explanation possible, and this meaning is shown to be typologically and historically plausible.
The Significance of Three Methods of Grouping Biblical Hebrew Text Portions
Authors: Forbes A. Dean
Published: January 2022

The paper first indicates the implications of the mixed results obtained by using three disparate analytical methods to infer relationships among biblical text portions based upon their spelling practices. Next, a sketch is provided of matres lectionis (“mothers of reading”) in Biblical Hebrew and of the Andersen-Forbes classification system. Vowel features are specified, and examples presented. The notion of transmissional textual change is introduced. The criticality of comparing the results provided by different analytical methods is emphasised. Next, three complementary analytical methods are introduced in turn, and their results are appraised. Clustering is a heuristic data exploration method, its prime result being that the spelling of the Torah sets it well apart from the other portions of the Hebrew Bible. Clustering, however, produces many other provocative portion groupings inviting investigation. While multidimensional scaling also gathers the Torah portions, it also yields its own tantalising juxtapositions. Seriation orders the portions along a timeline. It results in an expected horseshoe-shaped band of portions, albeit rather “puffy.” Also, some of its text-portion orders are suspicious. While many results produced by the three methods are encouraging, many are perplexing. Envisioned future application of evolving methods to our BH text-portion data may well enhance the trustworthiness of our inferences.
The Varieties of DSS Hebrew as Reflected in Two Syntactic Traits, and the Sociolinguistic Situation Underlying the Qumran Hebrew Variety
Authors: Colasuonno Maria Maddalena
Published: January 2022

This paper offers a provisional evaluation of both the use of the particle ’et preceding a nominal functioning as a direct object and of the reversed word order, as these two groups of syntactic hallmarks are often regarded to be emphatic. The first part of this paper describes a selection of cases from Manuscript a of the Isaiah Scroll (1QIsaa) in which ’et is used differently compared with the Masoretic book of Isaiah (MT). Next, it provides selected examples within non-biblical Dead Sea Scrolls, in order to investigate the double direct object and the shift in verb complementation. The second part of this paper deals with four categories affected by the phenomenon of reversed word order in both the biblical and non-biblical DSS, i.e., subject preceding the verb, direct object preceding the infinitive, apposition, and binary expressions. The conclusion suggests two alternatives to emphasis as the main cause of the alleged idiosyncrasies in the use of ’et and in reversed word order, respectively. The results reveal some insights into the increased frequency of the particle ’et both in the biblical and non-biblical DSS, under certain syntactic circumstances, and into the shift from initial-focus to end-focus in a number of categories—albeit in a transitional stage—prevalent in non-biblical DSS.
Expressing the Day of the Month in Biblical Hebrew: A Diachronic Perspective
Authors: Moshavi Adina
Published: January 2022

Biblical Hebrew (henceforth BH), like most languages, possesses two different kinds of numerals, cardinals, e.g., sheloshah (three) and ordinals, e.g., shelishi (third). While BH can generate a cardinal of any size, the ordinal paradigm in BH only goes up to ten, and there is no morphological or syntactic mechanism for combining ordinals to express higher numbers. BH compensates for its lack of higher ordinals by employing ordinal numerals in dedicated syntactic constructions. The present study is a diachronic corpus-based analysis of the syntax of one kind of cardinal phrase with ordinal meaning, the day-of-the-month expression. This study takes the syntactic and semantic accounts in Rothstein and Moshavi (2021) as its points of departure, and includes a construction not discussed in that publication. The study examines the synchronic and diachronic distributions of four constructions that account for nearly all occurrences of cardinal constructions with ordinal meaning: the appositional phrase (AP), the reduplicative construct phrase (RCP), the construct phrase (CP), and the bare numeral phrase (BN). The data presented reveals noteworthy developments in day-of-the-month expressions in Late Biblical Hebrew (LBH) that are also reflected in the extra-biblical Hebrew corpora of the Second Temple period. These results establish the syntactic expression of ordinality as a topic of significance for the broader endeavour of characterising the linguistic features of exilic and Second Temple Hebrew.
Unipolar Conceptual Metaphors in Biblical Hebrew
Authors: Lamprecht At
Published: January 2022

The cognitive approach to metaphor has faced many challenges: one of these challenges is a lack of more cross-linguistic and cross-cultural research that needs to be done to better understand the claim of the cognitive approach that abstract concepts and abstract reasoning are partly metaphorical. This paper provides evidence that a universal spatial metaphorical system exists (the claim of Cognitive Linguistics) and shows that the theory of conceptual metaphor accommodates the findings to a certain extent. However, this theory of conceptual metaphor does not account for the entire Biblical Hebrew conceptual system and needs to be rethought. This study extends the existing knowledge of conceptual metaphor. Specifically, it expands the knowledge concerning verbs conflating a bipolar conceptual component, that is, MOTION and PATH. This study discusses evidence from the Hebrew Bible, and argues that the Biblical Hebrew verbs (yrd) (descend) and ('lh)(ascend)’s bipolar lexical concepts MOTION DOWN and MOTION UP, respectively, may split into two unipolar lexical concepts MOTION and DOWN and MOTION and UP, respectively, and in which only one unipolar lexical concept, that is DOWN or UP, respectively, is used for metaphorical conceptual mapping.

Objetivo: Analisar a influência da resistência à insulina no prognóstico da doença de Alzheimer. Revisão bibliográfica: A doença de Alzheimer é um processo neurodegenerativo, caracterizado pela presença de marcadores patológicos de placas β-amilóide. A insulina tem função neuromoduladora e no cérebro atua na sobrevivência dos neurônios, na produção de energia, na plasticidade sináptica e na expressão gênica. Estudos recentes revelaram que a resistência à insulina cerebral é um dos fatores de comprometimento cognitivo da doença de Alzheimer. Dessa forma, é de suma importância que se entenda a relação fisiopatológica entre a resistência insulínica e o surgimento da doença de Alzheimer, para que seja possível estabelecer um tratamento mais adequado e evitar o declínio cognitivo através do controle metabólico. Considerações finais: Evidencia-se a existência de uma relação entre o desenvolvimento da doença de Alzheimer e a resistência à insulina e percebe-se a necessidade de melhor entender os mecanismos fisiopatológicos, para que sejam traçadas estratégias terapêuticas adequadas.

Objetivo: Observar questões relacionadas à preservação da fertilidade de mulheres e o tratamento quimioterápico por meio de uma revisão integrativa. Métodos: Revisão integrativa realizada na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde com os descritores "Enfermagem'', “Fertilidade” e “Tratamento Farmacológico” publicados nos últimos 5 anos. A seleção procedeu em 3 etapas: leitura do título, resumo e leitura na íntegra. Para análise estatística utilizou-se o método PRISMA. Resultados: Foram localizados 286 artigos. Removidos os duplicados e indisponíveis, em associação com filtros e aplicação dos critérios de elegibilidade, sobraram 20 artigos.  Observou-se aumento da taxa de sobrevivência a longo prazo de pacientes com câncer e da demanda por preservação da fertilidade para possibilitar a maternidade. Estudos mostram o valor da prática de enfermagem, exigindo habilidades para lidar com os sentimentos dos outros e com as suas próprias emoções frente ao cuidado oncológico. Considerações finais: Os tratamentos para o câncer aumentam o risco de infertilidade de mulheres em idade reprodutiva. A Preservação da fertilidade aumenta a possibilidade de as sobreviventes se tornarem mães. O tratamento requer abordagem multidisciplinar, com destaque para equipe de enfermagem no que diz respeito ao apoio, aconselhamento e educação durante o tratamento.

Published: January 2022

Light-chain (AL) amyloidosis is the most common form of systemic amyloidosis and is associated with an underlying plasma cell dyscrasia. The disease often is difficult to recognise because of its broad range of manifestations and what often are vague symptoms. The clinical syndromes at presentation include nephrotic-range proteinuria with or without renal dysfunction, hepatomegaly, congestive heart failure and autonomic or sensory neuropathy. Recent diagnostic and prognostic advances include the serum free light-chain assay, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and serologic cardiac biomarkers. Treatment strategies that have evolved during the past decade are prolonging survival and preserving organ function in patients with this disease. This review outlines approaches to diagnosis, assessment of disease severity and treatment of AL amyloidosis. We describe a case of a 54--year-old male patient with monoclonal gammopathy with AL amyloidosis.
Snakebite

Published: January 2022

Snakebite is a prevalent cause of morbidity and mortality in rural India. There is a great unawareness among the general public about this important occupational hazard and timely intervention like anti-snake venom. Furthermore, there is a confusion among primary health centre workers about the management due to various Western guidelines which are difficult to follow in the Indian setting. Knowledge about its prevention, avoiding harmful first aid measures, and having proper guidelines for its management can help in timely proper intervention and saving lives. Hence, here, we present a short review on types of snakes, clinical features, guidelines of management (based on Indian protocols), and its prevention.

Published: January 2022

In countries other than the United States, the BCG vaccine is typically used as a method for preventing childhood tuberculosis; in the United States, the BCG vaccine has gained popularity as a speculated therapy for autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. Research suggests that the vaccine can train the innate immune response, thereby improving symptoms of disorders such as diabetes and fibromyalgia. However, the potential side effects associated with the use of this vaccine are not totally innocuous. Although 95% of recipients should expect common skin complications after administration of the BCG vaccine, other more serious cutaneous sequelae may occur. Potential cutaneous side effects associated with vaccine use can include fistulation, abscess formation, and even ulceration. This brief report highlights a patient in whom cutaneous tuberculosis developed, specifically tuberculous chancre, secondary to receiving the BCG vaccine as a possible treatment for fibromyalgia. After undergoing surgical debulking of the tumor, the patient subsequently received the standard of care to the wound base and was started on 6 months of isoniazid monotherapy. Cutaneous tuberculosis is exceedingly rare, and the chancre variant accounts for only about 1% of diagnosed cases. Although common in pediatric populations, the chancre variant of cutaneous tuberculosis is not typically seen in adult populations, most likely because the BCG vaccine is often administered to children to prevent childhood tuberculosis. As use of the BCG vaccine in adults becomes more prevalent to potentially treat or mitigate certain disorders, it is imperative that health care providers recognize the potentially severe side effects associated with its use.
