The Role of National Parks in Promoting Sustainable and Responsible Tourism
Authors: Szczęsna Joanna , Wojtanowicz Paweł
Published: October 2022

One of the contemporary challenges in the tourism industry is development in line with the idea of sustainable development. In order to implement these ideas and principles, broadly based social education is needed. National parks are institutions of great socio-educational impact and that is why they could be linked to the process of education for sustainable and responsible tourism. This article presents the results of a survey conducted in Polish national parks on their commitment to the process of social education promoting sustainable and responsible tourism, and indicates the still unused potential of national park activities which can contribute to raising public awareness in this regard.
Sacred Objects as Cultural Assets of the Roztocze National Park and Its Buffer Zone
Authors: Pytka Paweł
Published: October 2022

Cultural landscape is an important element in determining the attractiveness of a given tourist area. Its specific elements are places of worship. Integrated into a unique natural landscape they can become a kind of gem, and their many values can be a significant stimulant to tourism. This article presents the religious buildings and objects located within the Roztocze National Park and its buffer zone: churches, various types of shrines, roadside crosses and statues and cemeteries. These places, besides performing their sacral function, are important for local communities: they are places of meetings, exchanges of views and solving problems. What is also important is the cultural aspect of these sites, together with their historical value. These various qualities of sacred objects can generate an increase in tourism throughout the entire region.
CRISES OF IDENTITY OFTHE NIGERIAN BORN MULATTO: A POST COLONIALINTERTEXTUALREADING OFTHREE NIGERIAN NOVELS
Authors: Anyanwu Patricia Ngozi
Published: October 2022

With its emergence in the eighteenth century age of empirical realism, the novel has consistently maintained its reputation as a vehicle for the realistic portrayal of everyday life experiences of ordinary men and women in lived human communities. This verisimilitude of real life experiences to issues portrayed in the novel is also encapsulated in the scholarship of the Nigerian Novel. The Nigerian novel has recently begun to focus its attention on the challenges of Nigerian born biracial children. This paper examines the manifestations of crises of identity in the lives of three biracial female children, popularly known as mulatto, half caste, Yellow or African profit, as portrayed in three Nigerian novels namely Chukwuemeka Ike's Our Children Are Coming, Sefi Atta's Everything Good Will Come, and KaineAgary's Yellow-Yellow. Through the portrayal of everyday life experiences of this growing population of race with half Nigerian parents, who are domiciled in Nigeria, these three novelists have not only raised our consciousness on their membership of our shared identity in the Nigerian nation, but also, given an accurate insight to their birth circumstances, frustrations and bleak future.Using the postcolonial theoretical framework, as well as the qualitative research methodology, this paper brings to the fore, issues of cultural contacts, conjugal liaisons betweenNigerians and Europeans, as well as the fate of the products of these inter-racial intimate relationships.
Risk regulation, liability and insurance: literature review of their influence on safety management
Authors: Marsden Eric
Published: October 2022

This document provides a short literature review on the complementarity (and antagonisms) between liability rules, safety regulation and insurance and their effect on safety management. It draws on a range of disciplines, with a focus on economic analysis of law and regulation theory. Some of the issues discussed are rather complex; this document attempts to provide simple explanations together with references to the professional literature for the interested reader. Some issues are the subject of ongoing debate between scholars; in such situations, we have attempted to present the various points of view. The document provides background information concerning the topics discussed during the NeTWork’2012 workshop, and draws on some of the contributions of workshop participants and the rich discussion which took place during the three days. The first chapter presents issues related to regulation, starting with the classical economic justifications for state intervention (presence of externalities, information failures and moral hazard). A number of obstacles to the effectiveness of safety regulation are presented. Finally, some alternatives or complements to regulation, including self-regulation, are briefly discussed. Chapter 2 presents an overview of liability law, starting with some introductory definitions. Factors which weaken the effectiveness of liability as an incentive to invest in prevention are discussed, as are negative effects of liability regimes on safety management. A number of case studies illustrating the liability of regulators are briefly presented. Chapter 3 discusses the impact of insurance and reinsurance on firms’ and individuals’ safety management. The last chapter briefly analyzes firms’ and individuals’ sources of motivation to take care.

Published: October 2022

Within Christianity the purpose of spiritual life lies in the glory of God and the sanctification of mankind. It all boils down to a deep union between God and man. The path taken to achieve this is prayer, because, in and through prayer, man becomes honest with himself. No pretense there. Prayer involves one's entire being. In this paper, Jesus' prayer is chosen as a basis and model in establishing oneness with God. The author will set out and comment on Joseph Ratzinger's thoughts on the Jesus prayer in seven basic theses.

Authors: Nugroho Agung , Amanah Nur Layli , Kamal Hary Perdana , Angkasa Syahreza
Published: October 2022

A series of analyses techniques were performed to study the influence of different acid concentrations on the rock properties during the acidizing process. Based on the Thin section and Routine Core Analysis (RCA), the calcite content have effect on the reservoir quality from the aspect of rock-fluid properties. In this paper, the physical and mineralogical responses to rock acidizing of carbonate rock are evaluated. This study found that calcite content decreases approximately 25% from the total calcite content of rock samples after the addition of HCl. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) Analysis show that samples treated using HCl 15% provide a wider pore size distribution, resulting in the increasing permeability fluid flow rate

A Tool to Investigate M&A Transactions with Regard to Foreign Financial Contributions
Authors: Bauermeister Tabea
Published: October 2022

As a result of an alleged regulatory gap, Chapter 3 of the Proposal for a Foreign Subsidies Regulation introduces a new tool to investigate M&A transactions involving a financial contribution from a non-EU government. This paper takes a closer look at this new tool, in particular comparing it to the existing Merger Regulation. In addition, the existence of the supposed regulatory gap will be assessed - as well as the new tool’s aptitude to tackle it.
The Procedural Framework of the Proposal for a Regulation on Foreign Subsidies Viewed from a Common Commercial Policy Perspective
Authors: Trapp Patricia
Published: October 2022

The European Commission’s proposal for a regulation on foreign subsidies provides a novel instrument for regulating economic activities which are facilitated by foreign subsidies, and which potentially distort competition in the internal market. Since the Draft Regulation will only apply to subsidies granted by third States, it will form part of the European Union’s trade policy instruments. The article compares select procedural provisions of the Draft Regulation with the procedural rules contained in the Basic Anti-Subsidy Regulation, the main instrument the Commission has used to date to address economic activity in the internal market subsidized by third States.
The FDI Screening Mechanisms and the Draft EU Foreign Subsidy Regulation – Potential Conflicts of Interests and in Application
Authors: Dackö Carolina , Brodin Charlotta , Arlebo Alice
Published: October 2022

Separate legal frameworks form part of the European Commission’s new strategic trade policy aiming at maintaining and contributing to the EU’s “open strategic autonomy”, while preserving an open economy within the Union. Investment screening mechanisms implemented on the grounds of security and public order will apply in parallel to the proposed EU Regulation on foreign subsidies aiming at addressing economic distortions caused by foreign subsidies to ensure a level playing field within the internal market. Even if both are implemented side-by-side, the legal frameworks will overlap. The following text illustrates scenarios where questions of regulatory interplay and overlap may arise and analyses the potential consequences thereof. It identifies specific difficulties in streamlining legal frameworks where legal areas are partly shared and separated between the Member States’ and the Union’s competences. It concludes that an ambition to preserve an open economy within the Union, attract investments and minimise unpredictability in transactions requires that possibly conflicting interests are addressed. It also illustrates the need for foreign and Union investors to consider and try to identify layers of risks and exchange information on ownership, ties and funding by foreign states early on in a transaction.
Tax Challenges of a Digitalizing Europe – A Comparative Analysis of the Multilateral Two-Pillar Solution with the European Commission’s Proposals
Authors: Fu Shaun
Published: October 2022

The challenge of adapting the customary international corporate tax system to the digitalising economy persists as a transnational issue affecting multiple States globally. In resolving such a transnational issue in corporate taxation, it might have seemed an opportune moment for the European Union (EU) to apply its approach towards supranational governance or the Monnet method. Yet, despite the European Commission advancing three solutions, two Interim and one Comprehensive, to confront the corporate tax challenges of the digitalising economy, the Monet Method revealed its limits, with the proposals failing to attain unanimity among EU Member States. Simultaneously, such proposals have drawn severe academic and political criticism for their protectionism. Instead, with the parallel conclusion of a multilateral Two-Pillar Solution, the Commission has since withdrawn its unilateral proposals and pledged its support towards implementing the Two-Pillar Solution. The focus of this article shall thus be to ultimately draw a comparative analysis of the Two-Pillar Solution with the Commission’s proposals while exploring how the former has since made some improvements upon the latter in tackling the corporate tax challenges of the digitalising economy. Further opinions on the Two-Pillar Solution’s design flaws and appropriate alternative solutions will also be briefly provided within this article.
Hematological Parameters in Newborns of Mothers with and Without Preeclampsia
Authors: Miri Aliabad Ghasem , Dahmardeh Fatemeh
Published: October 2022

Background: Pregnancy-induced hypertension, preeclampsia, and eclampsia syndrome are multisystem disorders associated with adaptive changes in the fetal circulation and cause a marked imbalance in the hemostatic system of the mother and fetus. Objectives: This study aimed to compare hematological parameters in newborns of mothers with and without preeclampsia. Methods: This prospective case-control study included 30 newborns of mothers with preeclampsia and 30 newborns with normotensive mothers matched for age and sex as a control group. Umbilical cord blood samples were collected from all newborns, and complete blood count and ferritin levels were measured. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 21, and the difference between the two groups was compared using the independent t-test and Mann-Whitney test. Results: The newborns of mothers with preeclampsia had higher mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, red cell distribution width, mean platelet volume, and platelet distribution width but lower white blood cell counts, platelet counts, and ferritin level than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Also, the mean red blood cell count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit was higher in the preeclamptic mothers’ newborns compared to those of the control group, although not significant (P > 0.05). Conclusions: Newborns of mothers with preeclampsia should be carefully evaluated and monitored regarding hematologic abnormalities and early diagnosis of possible complications.
Social Trust and the Ethics of Our Institutions
Authors: Keenan James F. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2022

Social trust is the basic resource for our institutions and is notably maintained by leaders who have what I call a vulnerable style and a vigilant capacity to recognize ethical challenges on the horizon. The essay follows five steps: a meditation on social trust, an introduction to the notion of style, and a proposal for a vulnerable style so as to become collectively capacious for recognition. Then it turns to the two institutions under examination at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society of Christian Ethics (SCE): the church and the academy. The essay examines both the church on racial justice through exemplars of vulnerable style and the academy on needed recognition of the precarity of our community colleges. So as to advance an interest in diversifying our styles of communicating within the SCE, the essay provides a meditation, an academic account, an academic proposal, a narrative, and a case.
Bodies of Hope
Authors: Jarrett Madeline ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2022

Hope for persons with disabilities is most often associated with the possibility of cure. When cure is not achievable, there remains a dire lack in our socio-cultural imagination around and construction of hopeful disabled futurity. This paper explores Karl Rahner’s eschatology as a means of both deconstructing narrow visions of curative hope and affirming the presence of theological hope that already exists in the lives of disabled people. Ultimately, this paper argues that “crip time”—the time embodied by persons with disabilities—witnesses to a prophetic relationship with time in its openness to the life-giving possibilities of the absolute future.

Et diplomatisk puslespil – lukningen af den danske ambassade i Argentina
Authors: Kansager Linnea Kristine , Holck Anne Simone Didriksen , Drost Kate Wu
Published: October 2022

Udmeldingen i 2021 om, at Danmark ville lukke ambassaden i Argentina den 31. juli 2022, medførte undren både herhjemme og i værtslandet, særligt eftersom Dronningen og Kronprinsen så sent som i 2019 havde været på statsbesøg i selskab med mange af Danmarks største virksomheder. På baggrund af 30 interviews og en dokumentanalyse fandt vi, at beslutningen var resultatet af dels en udhuling af Udenrigsministeriets budget, dels en politisk og bureaukratisk nedprioritering af hele Sydamerika som region. I regionen var Argentina særlig sårbar, grundet landets økonomiske situation. COVID-19-pandemien havde forværret Argentinas økonomi og bidrog i øvrigt til, at de økonomiske data, som beslutningen om ambassadelukningen blev truffet ud fra, var behæftet med betydelig usikkerhed. Tilsammen skabte disse faktorer den perfekte storm af betingelser, der ledte til beslutningen om, at lukke repræsentationen i et land, hvor der ved første øjekast synes at være tilstrækkelige interesser til at opretholde en ambassade.
Clinical evaluation and outcomes in children ≤10 years old involved in road traffic accidents, presenting to Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital, Johannesburg, South Africa
Authors: Carreira J-A , Kruger D , Loveland J
Published: October 2022

Background. Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are a leading cause of injury and death globally, particularly among children. Pedestrians are most often injured, especially in middle- and low-income countries. The epidemiology, patterns and severity of injuries in children involved in RTAs in our community are hard to obtain.Objectives. To evaluate the aetiological spectrum, injury characteristics and treatment outcomes of paediatric patients involved in RTAs, who presented to Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital (CHBAH), a tertiary hospital in Soweto, South Africa.

Methods. Patients ≤10 years old, who were involved in RTAs and seen at CHBAH, were included in the study.Results. The study was conducted from 20 August 2017 to 31 March 2018, and included the data of 156 patients. Their ages ranged from 13 days to 10 years (65% were boys). Pedestrian vehicle accidents accounted for 78.8% of the injuries, with 60.8% of the children being unaccompanied by an adult. Motor vehicle accidents accounted for 19.2% of the injuries, with 92% of the children being unrestrained in the vehicle. Of the patients, 73.2% (n=112/153) underwent radiography and 44.4% required computed tomography (CT) scans, the majority being CT scans of the brain for suspected head injuries. Soft-tissue injuries accounted for 78.9% of cases, followed mainly by head (39.7%) and limb (16%) injuries. Only 12% of patients required surgical intervention, with 42% of the operations being for orthopaedic injuries.Conclusion. The abovementioned data demonstrate that there is a lack of use of child restraints for children travelling as passengers in vehicles, and inadequate supervision of children on and around roads. This study supports other evidence, as it suggests that the paediatric population involved in RTAs is largely injured as pedestrians, and that males tend to be involved in more RTAs than females. The majority of injuries sustained involved the soft tissues, followed by head injuries.
Perceptions of healthy food, and perceived facilitators and barriers to buying and consuming healthy food, among female caregivers in Soweto, South Africa
Authors: Besselink D , Brandt H , Klingberg S , Draper C E
Published: October 2022

Background. Obesity poses a continuous health challenge in South Africa and disproportionately affects black African households. To target obesity in these settings, it is crucial to have an in-depth understanding of food choices made by affected households. Objectives. To explore how healthy food is perceived by women living in Soweto, and the facilitators of and barriers to buying and consuming this food.

Methods. This was a qualitative study that utilised semi-structured interviews. Ten participants were recruited using purposive sampling. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed using thematic analysis. The study took place in Soweto, South Africa, and was conducted from February to May 2019.Results. Six themes were developed from the data: perceptions of healthy food; protecting family members from unhealthy food; learning about healthy food; appreciation by the family; home-cooked food v. food bought on the street; and budgetary restrictions. The first three themes were grouped by the overarching theme ‘consciousness of healthfulness of food’, and the last three themes were grouped by the theme ‘influences of the family and environment on food choices’.

Conclusions. A focus on the whole family’s dietary behaviours is recommended and, in future interventions, guidance communicated in intervention materials should be tailored to existing knowledge of healthy eating.
Wandering Games
Authors: Kagen Melissa
Published: October 2022

An analysis of wandering within different game worlds, viewed through the lenses of work, colonialism, gender, and death.

Wandering in games can be a theme, a formal mode, an aesthetic metaphor, or a player action. It can mean walking, escaping, traversing, meandering, or returning. In this book, game studies scholar Melissa Kagen introduces the concept of “wandering games,” exploring the uses of wandering in a variety of game worlds. She shows how the much-derided Walking Simulator—a term that began as an insult, a denigration of games that are less violent, less task-oriented, or less difficult to complete—semi-accidentally tapped into something brilliant: the vast heritage and intellectual history of the concept of walking in fiction, philosophy, pilgrimage, performance, and protest.

Kagen examines wandering in a series of games that vary widely in terms of genre, mechanics, themes, player base, studio size, and funding, giving close readings to Return of the Obra Dinn, Eastshade, Ritual of the Moon, 80 Days, Heaven's Vault, Death Stranding, and The Last of Us Part II. Exploring the connotations of wandering within these different game worlds, she considers how ideologies of work, gender, colonialism, and death inflect the ways we wander through digital spaces. Overlapping and intersecting, each provides a multifaceted lens through which to understand what wandering does, lacks, implies, and offers. Kagen's account will attune game designers, players, and scholars to the myriad possibilities of the wandering ludic body.
Osteoclast-mediated resorption primes the skeleton for successful integration during axolotl limb regeneration

Published: October 2022

Early events during axolotl limb regeneration include an immune response and the formation of a wound epithelium. These events are linked to a clearance of damaged tissue prior to blastema formation and regeneration of the missing structures. Here, we report the resorption of calcified skeletal tissue as an active, cell-driven, and highly regulated event. This process, carried out by osteoclasts, is essential for a successful integration of the newly formed skeleton. Indeed, the extent of resorption is directly correlated with the integration efficiency, and treatment with zoledronic acid resulted in osteoclast function inhibition and failed tissue integration. Moreover, we identified the wound epithelium as a regulator of skeletal resorption, likely releasing signals involved in recruitment/differentiation of osteoclasts. Finally, we reported a correlation between resorption and blastema formation, particularly, a coordination of resorption with cartilage condensation. In sum, our results identify resorption as a major event upon amputation, playing a critical role in the overall process of skeletal regeneration.
The effect of laughter yoga on working memory
Authors: Rahman Md. Shahinoor , Wali Farida Binte
Published: October 2022

A growing body of evidence suggests that there is a link between laughter and memory. However, no research has been done to show a link between simulated laughter (laughter yoga) and the enhancement of working memory. Because laughter has numerous benefits, we examined whether simulated laughter can improve healthy adults’ working memory (WM). A total of 30 participants (15 experimental and 15 control) were enrolled in this study. The research design was experimental and pretest-posttest with a control group. Participants in the laughter yoga intervention group had eight sessions twice a week for four weeks, whereas the control group received no intervention. We assessed all participants before and after laughter activity with the WM measures (Corsi Block Test and Digit Span). The laughter intervention programme focused on simulated laughter (laughter yoga) without relying on humour, jokes, or comedy. The results revealed a significant improvement in the memory of both visual and verbal WM performances in the experimental group after the intervention programme. In contrast, the study found no significant differences in the control group. Simulated laughter intervention is the easiest, practical, and cost-efficient method that seems to affect WM positively.
Transcreating humour for (re)dubbing into Arabic
Authors: Yahiaoui Rashid
Published: October 2022

The transfer of humorous elements in audio-visual texts is a challenging task as verbal expressions heavily rely on witty wordplay and are visually bound. To overcome such a challenge, the translator has to have two particular skills: creativity and a thorough understanding of the context and/or intended meanings. This paper aims at investigating the realisation of humour in dubbing animation vis-à-vis register variation and creativity by comparing the Egyptian dub with the Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) re-dub of Disney’s Monster’s Inc. Drawing on House’s (2015) translation quality assessment model, the data analysis reveals that resorting to colloquialism as a covert translation strategy provided a functionally adequate, nuanced leeway for the translator to capture the essence situational humour of the source text by relying on the on-screen visuals. Therefore, the translator quasi-assumes the role of an author to communicate interpersonal meanings as effectively and humorously as possible. Meanwhile, resorting to the standard variation as an overt translation strategy significantly deflated and sacrificed verbal humour due to the translator’s literal style and Al-Jazeera’s ideological orientation that shuns functional equivalence for the sake of linguistic homogenisation.
An intercultural pragmatic approach to English-Russian and English-German renditions of the formulaic "That’s what she said"-punchline in telecinematic discourse
Authors: Kirner-Ludwig Monika , Soboleva Aleksandra
Published: October 2022

This paper takes an intercultural approach to identifying and discussing rendition strategies of one specific punchline recurrent in scripted telecinematic discourse: That’s what she said. While this formulaic punchline demonstrates a relatively high salience in the US, particularly in oral and scripted genres, it issues more than one challenge to translators seeking to render it for other speech communities in a manner that acknowledges and retains the source pattern’s complexity as a discursively triggered and formulaic pragmatic idiom. We shall focus here on two specific target cultures, i.e. the Russian and the German, in demonstrating the challenges that this complex and linguistically as well as cognitively multi-faceted formula poses for its appropriation into either cultural sphere. Our study is based on a self-compiled parallel dataset of context-embedded source occurrences of That’s what she said and their renditions into German and Russian, thus offering immediately contrastive insights into the rendition strategies that translators have been employing to interculturally transfer this highly evasive idiomatic formula from one speech community to others.
Covidly humorous memes
Authors: Mifdal Mohamed
Published: October 2022

The analysis of memes posted on Moroccan Facebook pages during the first wave of Covid-19 pandemic shows that the use of humour by Moroccans is not only motivated by achieving mirth but it also vehicles critical views about issues of common concern debated in the digital public sphere. Some of these memes were used to cope with fear and uncertainty. However, most memes harboured mixed feelings about the situation and were used for social control and the expression of conflict and resistance, addressing issues of behaviour, governance and communication. This article uses a social semiotic approach to analyse the collected memes (460 from personal and communal pages) as a multimodal discourse in terms of context, culture, and media affordances. This article contends that the study of these memes can be a key to understanding how Moroccans used humour to cope with danger and radical uncertainty, build identification and strengthen social cohesion. It also highlights the polyvocality of humour in times of the pandemic and the gradual shift from inclusive, conformist and sympathetic humour to disparaging, exclusive and challenging humour as the pandemic lingered, consensus began to crack, social control was challenged and injunctive norms were replaced by survival values. The results show how these memes are indicative of the way humour changes mechanisms and functions in terms of contingent motivations.
Bone Cement Implantation Syndrome- A Case Series
Authors: Aishwarya R , Sharma Kirti , Gopalakrishnan K , Nagalingam N
Published: October 2022

In Bone Cement Implantation Syndrome (BCIS) there occurs hypoxia, hypotension, and loss of consciousness at around the time the bone is cemented. Hip arthroplasty has become a frequent intervention with the increase in aging population. Hereby, the authors discussed five cases (three male and two female patients), all aged 58 years and above. Few patients found to have co-morbid medical conditions in the Preanaesthetic Clinic (PAC). All the patients developed adverse responses after the bone cementing procedure. One of the patients presented for PAC and was scheduled for right-sided knee arthroplasty. The generalised signs observed amongst these patients were hypoxia, hypotension, unexpected loss of consciousness, cardiovascular collapse, either intraoperatively or postoperatively, and were of varying severity. Patients were accordingly managed medically and were also given Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), whenever required. Two patients could not be revived while three got discharged in good condition. The incidence of morbidity and mortality due to BCIS can be reduced by carefully identifying high-risk patients.

Published: October 2022

Astrocytomas are one of the most common primary tumours of central nervous system seen in paediatric population. Although it is treatable and has a good prognosis, some individuals suffer from motor dysfunction following brain tumour resection which could result in decreased mobility, difficulty with daily tasks, increased risk of immobility-related problems, falls, pain, anxiety/depression. Thus, having a negative impact on overall quality of life and functional independence. Comprehensive neurophysiotherapy in such cases play a critical role in preventing and alleviating motor dysfunction, and its effects, and improve functional independence. This is the report of a 10-year-old female with astrocytoma in the right frontoparietal lobe, which was diagnosed using magnetic resonance imaging and immunohistochemistry. She underwent craniotomy for the same. But after tumour resection, she developed left hemiplegia wherein involvement of upper limb was more as compared to lower limb. She was given neurophysiotherapy and Accelerated Skill Acquisition Programme (ASAP) which aided in improving upper extremity motor function and functional independence.
DOMINIUM В ПРАВОВОЙ КУЛЬТУРЕ ПОСТРИМСКОЙ ИТАЛИИ: СВИДЕТЕЛЬСТВА КАССИОДОРА, "Средние века"
Authors: Ковалев А.С.
Published: October 2022

Статья посвящена исследованию понятия dominium в латиноязычной правовой культуре на материале античных и раннесредневековых источников. Хотя само слово dominium и входящее с ним в одну лексико-семантическую группу слово dominus часто воспринимаются как исключительно юридические термины со строго определенным значением, в статье предлагается иной подход, основанный на внимании к контексту, а также к особому месту права в римской культуре. Акцент сделан на словоупотреблении, характерном для Италии первой половины VI в. и отраженном в письменном наследии Кассиодора. Сравнительный анализ его «Variae» с текстами классической и постклассической Античности позволяет сделать следующие выводы об эволюции категории dominium. Произошедшие из обиходного языка слова, которые использовались с незапамятных времен для обозначения господства лица над вещью или другим лицом и не имели строго определенного юридического значения, в эпоху классической юриспруденции были взяты на вооружение профессиональными юристами и закреплены за конкретными правовыми институтами. Между тем позднеантичные и раннесредневековые источники, в частности Кодекс Феодосия и «Variae» Кассиодора, показывают, что коннотации власти, связывавшие это понятие с более древним этапом развития общества, не были забыты и, более того, преобладали над сугубо юридическим пониманием, характерном, по-видимому, лишь для классического периода в истории римского права и для узкой группы правоведов.

Aims: A study was conducted to investigate the effect of salicylic acid (SA) on garden pea grown under water deficit stress condition to discover the efficacy of foliar application of SA on physiological and biochemical characteristics of garden pea (Pisum sativum L.) cv. Kashi Nandni.

Study Design: With three replications, the experiment was performed in a split plot design.

Place and Duration of Study: Experiment was carried out in 2019-20 at Vegetable Research Centre, JNKVV, Jabalpur (M.P.), India.

Methodology: Main plots were assigned to irrigated and water deficit stress conditions, and subplots were associated to five dosages of SA (0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1 mM). During flowering stage, relative water content (RWC) of leaves, light transmission ratio (LTR), energy interception (EI) were recorded and total soluble solids (TSS) was detected at the time of harvest.

Results: Finding of the research revealed that water deficit stress condition reduces the growth potential of plant via effecting the physiological and biochemical process of plant. The best drought protection was observed when the plant sprayed with 0.50 mM SA in RWC, light transmission %, energy interception and TSS content of garden pea. The analysis of variance shows that the effect of salicylic acid on all characteristics was significant.

Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, water deficit stress causes severe physiological and biochemical malfunctions in plants, resulting in a significant reduction in plant performance. Exogenous application of SA and its derivatives against abiotic stress has the potential to be very useful in agriculture and horticulture.

“Agricultural weeder with nail assembly” (Design registration no. 289754 in class 15-03, dt. 13-09-2019, Patent Office Kolkata, GOI) has been developed to mechanically weed out young composite weed flora including germinating ones, since 5-7 days of crop sowing at field capacity (FC), from line sown and broadcast field (cereals, pulses, oilseeds, jute, mesta, flax, sunnhemp,) and horticultural crops (vegetables and flowers etc.). This tool contains i) a nail assembly with 5-6 nos. of nails (6-8 mm dia.) fixed with nuts at 3 cm apart in series ii) scrapper (of different types) and iii) tine, to suit different types of operations. Addition of a boat replacing its front wheels and two conical rotors in the main frame, make it suitable to control weeds in transplanted rice field also. With the help of this tool, 85 to 90 per cent of composite weeds can be controlled. In two successive operations, at 5 days intervals since 5 days after crop emergence, it requires only 12-18 man days/ha and saves Rs.15000 to Rs.20000/ha. It produced 33 to 40 quintal jute fibre/ ha, 4.5 to 5 tonnes of upland and transplanted land rice, 3.0 to 4.5 tonnes of wheat and 15 q mustard/ha under farmers’ field and at ICAR-CRIJAF in different years. It increases soil aeration (Oxygen diffusion rate, ODR: 303 μg O2 m-2 sec-1), keeps the soil cooler (1-50C) and improves soil moisture (4-15%) by soil mulching in drier months and improves jute fibre yield (10-20%) and its water productivity. Till now around 55000 numbers of “Agricultural Weeder with Nail assembly” have been distributed to the jute farmers of West Bengal by Department of Agril. Govt. of WB. Due to its low draft (8-15 kg only at FC), women, youngsters and aged persons can also operate the tool easily in different crop round the year.

A couple with infertility is a couple who fails to achieve pregnancy after 12 months or more after regular sexual intercourse without using contraception. Infertility can be caused by a male factor or a female factor. In-vitro fertilization (IVF) is one of the assisted reproductive technology (ART) for a couple with infertility. IVF has a high rate for a woman to achieve a pregnancy. Its procedure is the fertilization of sperm and oocyte by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), or conventional IVF.this study aims to determine the success rate of fertilization and embryogenesis based on sperm characteristics in IVF patients in Morula IVF Jakarta period January – December 2018. The results of this study were analyzed bivariate based on sperm morphology, motility, and concentration. Based on the analysis that has been carried out, it was found that there was no significant relationship between the success rate of fertilization and sperm characteristics, with a p-value <0.050.

Aims:

To compare the impact of covid-19 infection and its associated factors among various domains of quality of life (general health (GH), physical health (PH), mental health, and pain).

To determine the variation and it’s contributing factors to the quality of life (QoL).

To identify the most common persisting symptoms after covid-19 infection.

Study Design: Cross-sectional community based online survey.

Place and Duration of Study: Community-based online survey done for a period of 6 months (March 2021- September 2021) among patients who recovered from covid-19.

Methodology: A validated self-made questionnaire with informed consent was used to gather information on the patient’s demographics (age, gender, educational qualification, occupation, marital status, and risk factors) covid-19 details (vaccination, severity, and hospitalization details), persisting symptoms, andHealth Related Quality of Life (HRQoL).

The HRQoL questions with scored options were framed under four domains general health, physical health, mental health, and pain. A convenient sample of 120 participants was included in our study.

Results: The median and inter-quartile ranges were used to describe the HRQoL score. For normal data, Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) was used to investigate the relationship between the dependent and independent variables.MLR results demonstrated that risk factors, severity, and length of hospital stay were negatively associated with QoL.

For non-normal data, the Kruskal Wallis test (KWT) and Mann Whitney U (MWU) test were used to compare the effect of covid-19 and its associated factors among various domains of HRQoL. KWT and MWT showed that the ability to perform physical activity was highly impaired in most post-covid patients. Cough, myalgia, arthralgia, and headache were the significant persisting symptoms of covid-19, reported by our participants. IBM SPSS software version 28.0 was used for statistical analysis.

Conclusion: We conclude that health care intervention is needed to manage persisting symptoms and to improve HRQoL.

Background: Pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) are a group of common conditions that create a great distress to the lives of many female patients. The role of women health physiotherapy (WHPT) in managing PFDs is crucial. Scarce data in the literature describe the awareness, attitude, and practice of WHPT among female physiotherapists and to the best of our knowledge, none are reported in Saudi Arabia. This paper hypothesizes that female physiotherapists in Saudi Arabia are less motivated to practice WHPT and that being less motivated have led to acquiring a lower level of awareness to the specialty. Additionally, it aims to explore the beliefs of female physiotherapists toward WHPT.

Methods: An online questionnaire was distributed among female physiotherapists working in Saudi Arabia. Participants were asked to identify other colleagues to include in the sample. Reliability of the questionnaire was tested using a pilot study.

Results: The majority of respondents [75.9%] are specialists and 69.2% reported years of experience ranging from 1 to 5. Around 46.9% of respondents were motivated to practice WHPT and 82.1% agreed that physiotherapy is important in treating PFDs. Additionally, Respondents who were motivated to practice WHPT displayed a significantly higher level of awareness to the specialty and understood the importance of pelvic floor rehabilitation (PFR) as an intervention for PFDs.

Conclusions: There is adequate level of awareness of female physiotherapists in Saudi Arabia to WHPT and a great motivation to practice the specialty. The study highlighted the need to organize various educational programs and workshops that focus on WHPT and PFR.
