Bovine fluorosis and its effects on essential minerals, haemogram and biochemical status in the fluoride endemic South-West Punjab of India
Authors: SINGH S T , DUA K , GUPTA D K , RANDHAWA S S , BANSAL B K
Published: March 2023

The present study was undertaken to assess prevalence of fluorosis and its effects on essential mineral and haemato-biochemical status in dairy animals from the fluoride endemic Mansa and Fazilka districts of the South- West Punjab, India. A base line survey was carried out in which blocks of the selected districts were taken as a stratum and from each stratum, the buffaloes and cattle were selected randomly. Blood samples of the selected animals were analysed for plasma Ca, Pi, Mg, Cu, Mo, Zn, Fe, Mn, alkaline phosphatase, Hb, PCV and TEC. The fluoride contents of 35.6 and 9.9% drinking water samples from Mansa (1.46±0.17 ppm, n=112) and Fazilka (1.18±0.36 ppm, n=91) district, respectively, were higher than the permissible limit of 1.5 ppm. The prevalence of fluorosis (plasma F > 0.10 μg/ml) in Mansa district was 95.3% in buffaloes (0.26±0.01 μg/ml, n=261) and 100.0% in cattle (0.31±0.02 μg/ml, n=35); while in Fazilka district, the prevalence was 92.0% in buffaloes (0.17±0.01 μg/ml, n=112) and 95.7% in cattle (0.21±0.01 μg/ml, n=118). The fluorotic buffaloes and cattle had significantly lower plasma Pi, Zn, Mn, PCV, TEC, and significantly higher plasma Mo and alkaline phosphatase activity. Plasma Ca, Mg, Cu, Fe and Mn, and Hb concentrations did not vary between the fluorotic and normal animals. It can be conclude that fluorosis is widely prevalent, and is causing essential mineral imbalances and lowering of haemogram in the dairy animals in the Mansa and Fazilka districts of the South-West Punjab of India.
Apolipoproteins in fish: From lipid transport to innate immunity
Authors: SAHOO P K , MOHAPATRA AMRUTA , JENA J K
Published: March 2023

The fish has a strong innate immune system, and antimicrobial peptides play a major role in fish innate immunity, providing potential defence against broad spectrum of fish pathogens. Apolipoproteins,that are abundant proteins of plasma, playing important role in lipid transport and metabolism, also have potential antimicrobial activity. The resent review describes the classes, structural details and important biological functions of apolipoproteins reported in both mammals and fish with an emphasis on their roles in host defence. The role of fish apolipoprotein A-I, a major component of high-density lipoproteins (HDL), is described in great detail using different infection models along with its bactericidal and immunomodulatory activities in various fish species against wide range of fish pathogens.Further, role of some novel fish-specific apolipoproteins, including the mammalian ones, have also been defined with a special focus on the molecules described in Indian carp species. As the understanding on major apolipoproteins is limited in fish species, this review might serve as a foundation to explore further their functional diversity in Indian fish species.

A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2014-15 and 2015-16 to study the effect of moisture conservation techniques and tillage management practices on growth, productivity and economics of Indian mustard[Brassica juncea (L.) Czernj and Coss.]. The experiment was laid out in split-plot design with three replications in cropping system mode. The main plot treatments consisted of four moisture conservation practices adopted inkharif season cropviz. ridges and furrows (RF), RF + crop residue (CR) 4 tonnes/ha, RF + CR 2 tonnes/ha + vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM) and flat sowing (FS) and in sub plots;five zero tillage management techniques, viz. zero tillage (ZT), ZT + seed priming, ZT + CR 4 tonnes/ha, ZT + CR 2 tonnes/ha + Hydrogel and conventional tillage (CT) were executed in mustard. Results revealed that moisture conservation technique,RF + CR 4 tonnes/ha in main plot and tillage management practice ZT + CR 4 tonnes/ha in sub plot recorded significantly superior growth parameters, physiological indices, yield attributes and yield values over rest of the treatments. Sowing in furrows under RF + CR 4 tonnes/ha recorded highest values for seeds/siliqua and siliqua length to the tune of 13.16 and 4.17 cm, seed yield (2.12 tonnes/ha) and stover yield (7.46 tonnes/ha), respectively. Furthermore under RF +CR 4 tonnes/ha treatment registered significantly higherWUE (21.63 kg/ha/mm) as well as maximumN, P and K uptake values of 102.7, 21.02 and 97.15 kg/ha, respectively. Highest net returns of ` 54100/ha as well as B:C ratio (2.88) were obtained under RF + CR 4 tonnes/ha. In sub-plots, ZT + CR 4 tonnes/ha gave significantly higher values of siliquae/plant, seeds/siliqua and siliqua length to the tune of 342, 13.18 and 4.05 cm, respectively. ZT + CR 4 tonnes/ha recorded maximum seed yield (2.05 tonnes/ha) closely followed by ZT + CR 2 tonnes/ha + Hydrogel (1.94 tonnes/ha) and both the treatments were statistically at par. Water use efficiency under ZT sowing with CR 4 tonnes/ha and ZT + CR 2 tonnes/ha + Hydrogel, gave statistically at par values of 20.93 and 19.72 kg/ha/mm, respectively. In spite of higher cost of cultivation, significantly maximum net returns (` 49500/ha) were obtained under ZT + CR 4 tonnes/ha. Thus on the basis research findings, it can be established that under rainfed conditions after kharif crop harvest planting of Indian mustard can be done in left over furrows without any tillage with application of ex-situ CR 4 tonnes/ha or with CR 2 tonnes/ha + Hydrogel to save time, reduce cost and capitalize of residual moisture.
Allelopathic effects of aqueous leaf extracts of five invasive species in Côte d'Ivoire on maize (Zea mays) and rice (Oryza sativa)
Authors: Mathieu Dogba  , Ménéké Distel Kougbo  , Amenan Sylvie Konan  , Djah François Malan
Published: March 2023

Chromolaena odorata, Euphorbia heterophylla, Fleischmannia microstemon, Porophyllum ruderale and Synedrella nodiflora are five invasive plants in agrosystems in Côte d'Ivoire. They strongly influence the structure and diversity of native plant communities. In addition, they can compete for water and nutritional resources with cultivated plants, leading to a decrease in agricultural yield. This competition often occurs through the emission of allelochemicals that prevent seed germination or inhibit the development of other species. Thus, this study aims to assess the allelopathic effects of these five species on maize and rice, two crops generally used in food self-sufficiency programmes. To this end, the seed germination, root and stem growth of these crops watered with different leaf extracts of these five species were monitored in the laboratory. All five species were found to have allelopathic effects on maize and rice development. However, the action of the allelochemicals is specific to the target plant organs and increases with the concentration of the extracts. The study shows that of the five plants, C. odorata, E. heterophylla and F. microstemon are the most damaging as they have a more pronounced effect on seed germination.
Verb Complementation Patterns in Nigerian English: A Corpus-based Study
Authors: Oyebola Folajimi , Alfred Bukola
Published: March 2023

This paper investigates innovative patterns of verb complementation in Nigerian English in terms of whether such patterns are different from those in British English, focusing on the patterns of the ditransitive verbs and to- infinitive marker in Nigerian English. The data is drawn from the Nigerian component of the International Corpus of English (ICE), while the British component of ICE is used as the reference corpus. The results of the study show that Nigerian users of English use the prepositional dative pattern more often than British English users. Also, while there is evidence that Nigerian users of English sometimes omit to-infinitive in words that generally have it in native English varieties, this feature is not radically marked in Nigerian English, as claimed in earlier non-corpus-based studies.
Pre-Service English Language Teachers’ Use of Reading Comprehension Strategies
Authors: Danner Regina B. , Gbenedio Uche B.
Published: March 2023

Reading is an essential skill that every student needs to acquire since most of the information needed for academic development is presented in written textual materials. Readers need to make use of a variety of reading strategies to assist them with decoding and comprehending texts of various formats – print, visual, electronic screens or digital and at different levels of difficulty. This study identified the reading strategies used by pre-service English language teachers. Data was collected from one hundred and eighty-six (186) undergraduates enrolled in English language education programme in two universities in Delta and Edo states in Nigeria. The data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics, namely, mean standard deviation and independent sample t-test. The results indicated that the students reported a high use of reading strategies. The findings of this study also revealed that there was no significant gender difference in pre-service English language teachers’ use of reading strategies as both male and female students reported high use of reading strategies. Students in the third year of the programme (300 level) reported higher use of reading strategies than those in the fourth year of the programme (400 level). The findings however, revealed no significant difference in reading comprehension scores between moderate and high reading strategy users.

Why Nigerian agbada fabric is (often) imported, while Indian sari fabric is local: a comparative history of textile manufacturing
Authors: Kamara Yarri B.
Published: March 2023

In the 1980s, both India and Nigeria had textile sectors that satisfied their large domestic demand. Today, however, Nigeria imports most of its textiles, including identity-imbued fabrics, while India is a major textiles producer. This article proposes three explanatory factors for this divergence based on a review of secondary sources. From independence, Indian policy placed greater emphasis on supporting craft and small-scale textile production, whereas the craft sector in Nigeria was neglected. Nigeria’s indigenisation of industry strategies failed to achieve endogenous processes in the textile industry, whereas the Indian textile sector was characterised by high Indian ownership and endogenous skills and technologies that rendered the sector resilient to shocks. Lastly, while both countries adopted import-substituting industrialisation strategies, the Nigerian textile sector benefited from little trade protection as smuggling greatly undermined the protection in place.

Published: March 2023

The seed is the vehicle for high productivity crops, as it carries the genetic potential and technology necessary for the success of a crop. And seed treatment has been a very important technology for the initial development of rice seeds. For this reason, the objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of seed treatment with Cruiser Opti insecticide associated with the biostimulant EpívioTM at different dosages and during 0, 60, 90, 135 and 180 days after seed treatment. Rice seeds of the cultivar IRGA 424 RI were used. The treatments were: Control: Permit + Standk + Gaucho, T2- Cruiser Opti (0.5 L/100 Kg of seeds), T3 - EpivioTM (0.1 L/100 Kg of seeds), T4 - Cruiser Opti + EpivioTM (0.5 + 0.05 L/100 kg of seeds), T5 - Cruiser Opti + EpivioTM (0.5 + 0.1 L/100 kg of seeds) and T6 – (0.5 + 0.2 L/100 kg of seeds). Seed quality was monitored through the germination test, cold test and emergence in trays. Under the conditions in which the work was carried out, we can conclude that the treatment composed of Cruiser Opti + EpivioTM, at a dose of 0.5 and 0.1 L/100Kg of seeds, respectively, provided better performance in the germination test in the evaluated periods when compared to the other treatments.
Law at the Border or New Borders of Law? The Role of the European Court of Human Rights in the Context of European Border Policy
Authors: Riemer Lena
Published: March 2023

Through an extensive interpretation of the collective expulsion prohibition, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has for decades compensated for the lack of procedural rights in the European Convention on Human Rights in the expulsion and rejection of migrants at a border. Influenced by internal pressure due to diverging views of its judges and external pressure from member states, the ECtHR pursued a more regressive approach after 2016, culminating in 2020 in its N.D. and N.T. v. Spain judgment on Spain’s policy of ‹hot returns›. This paper attempts to contextualise this shift and its consequences by, inter alia, analysing dissenting votes, judgments, and state practice. In the longer term, this line of jurisprudence could serve as a basis for justifying proposed European border procedures and have effects beyond the ECHR member state context.
I’ll have what Alexa’s having… but only if that’s what I’m looking for! – The impact of personalization on recommendation capabilities of smart voice-interaction technology in voice commerce
Authors: Yefimenko Olena , Foehr Jonas , Germelmann Claas Christian
Published: March 2023

With smart voice-interaction technology (SVIT) augmenting consumers’ lives, its commercial application, e.g., in voice commerce, increases. Here, SVIT can offer consumers convenience during the shopping process by giving personalized product recommendations. Focusing primarily on the technicalities, marketing research on voice commerce has overlooked consumers’ perceptions of such personalized recommendations. We test to what extent personalized recommendations impact perceived recommendation capabilities of a SVIT when consumers’ end goals are taken into account. The results of our multifactorial online experiment suggest that high personalization positively impacts consumers’ attitude towards SVIT and increases purchase intention particularly when they pursue an optimizing (vs. satisficing) end goal. Our findings suggest that highly personalized recommendations are good predictors for purchase intentions in both optimizing and satisficing conditions, whereas low personalization predicts purchase in satisficing conditions only. These results add to researchers’ understanding of consumers’ smartness perceptions and help marketers leveraging smart service value creation in practice.
Prisms of Neuroscience: Frameworks for Thinking About Educational Gamification
Authors: Serice Lisa
Published: March 2023

The mind, brain, body, and environment are inextricably interconnected. In the field of education, this neuropsychologically-backed claim suggests that to optimize learners’ (1) educational experiences, (2) retention of knowledge, and (3) creative use and application of knowledge beyond the classroom walls, teaching practices inallcontent areas must align withallparts of what makes us human. Unlike hardwired computers, our neuroplastic brains change with environmental interactions via our bodies. This article examines technology as an extension of cognition, where gamification emerges as a fundamental rather than supplemental tool for educators to co-construct knowledge with students. Gamification supports student learning and holistic well-being when considering affective, social, and motoric entanglements with cognitive processes. This article creatively employs five neuroscientific “prisms” to support and explain this humanistic claim. When synthesized, these refracted dimensions provide a framework for thinking about how, why, and when gamification functions as a valuable 21st-century educational tool.
Unveiling substituent effects in [3+2] cycloaddition reactions of benzonitrile N-oxide and benzylideneanilines from the molecular electron density theory perspective
Authors: Mondal Asmita , Mohammad-Salim Haydar A. , Acharjee Nivedita
Published: March 2023

The zw- type [3+2] cycloaddition (32CA) reactions of benzonitrile N-oxide with a series of substituted benzylideneanilines have been studied within the Molecular Electron Density Theory (MEDT) at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) computational level. The presence of dimethylamino and methoxy substituents in the aromatic rings of benzylideneaniline makes the reaction more facile relative to the unsubstituted one, while the electron withdrawing nitro substituents relatively induce minimal changes in the energy profile complying with the experimentally observed reaction rates. The presence of non-bonding electron density at the nitrogen atom and the formation of pseudoradical centre at the carbon atom of benzonitrile N-oxide characterise the difference in electronic structure of the TSs relative to the reagents, while the topological analysis of the electron localization function (ELF) and the atoms-in-molecules (AIM) reveal no covalent bond formation at the early TSs. The present MEDT study analyses the experimentally observed substituent effects and complete regioselectivity in the studied 32CA reactions.
The Drang Zum Wort of Linguisticality
Authors: Crist Alexander ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: March 2023

Since Truth and Method, Gadamer’s account of language or linguisticality as the medium of hermeneutic experience has prompted an ever-recurring reflection and critical engagement with the interpretive implications of this claim. For Gadamer, there is no subject matter that comes to the fore without linguisticality, that is, without the possibility of the subject matter to come into language in the first place. However, in later essays, he briefly discusses what he calls ‘prelinguistic’ in hermeneutic expe­rience. In this essay, I offer an account of the prelinguistic in Gadamer’s works that still maintains the primacy of language in his hermeneutic project. The prelinguistic marks not only a kind of precondition of linguisticality itself, but it also marks the fundamentally disclosive and demanding character of hermeneutic experience as such. As a precondition, the prelinguistic is not something beyond or outside of language, but is the very impulse or drive towards linguistic expression.
Decisions under Ignorance and the Individuation of States of Nature
Authors: Gustafsson Johan E. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: March 2023

How do you make decisions under ignorance? That is, how do you decide when you lack subjective probabilities for some of your options’ possible outcomes? One answer is that you follow the Laplace Rule: you assign an equal probability to each state of nature for which you lack a subjective probability (that is, you use the Principle of Indifference) and then you maximize expected utility. The most influential objection to the Laplace Rule is that it is sensitive to the individuation of states of nature. This sensitivity is problematic because the individuation of states seems arbitrary. In this paper, however, I argue that this objection proves too much. I argue that all plausible rules for decisions under ignorance are sensitive to the individuation of states of nature.

Bu çalışmanın amacı engelli bireye bakım veren ebeveynlerin kas-iskelet sistemi rahatsızlıklarının değerlendirilmesi ve çocuğun günlük yaşam aktivitelerinde bağımsızlık düzeyine göre ebeveynlerin kas iskelet sistemi rahatsızlıklarının incelenmesidir. Çalışmaya engelli bireye bakım veren 59 ebeveyn dahil edildi. Engelli bireyin tanısı, engel tipi, mobilite durumu, yemek yeme, giyinme, tuvalet aktivitelerindeki bağımsızlık durumu, engel süresi ile bakım veren ebeveynlerin gelir düzeyi, çocuk sayısı düzenli bakıcı desteği alıp almadığı sorgulandıktan sonra ebeveynlere Cornell Kas İskelet Rahatsızlık Anketi uygulandı. Bağımsız grupların Cornell Kas İskelet Rahatsızlık Anketi skorları Mann Whitney U testi kullanılarak karşılaştırıldı. Engelli bireylerin yaş ortalaması 9,55+6,04 yıl, engellilik süresi 7,66+5,54 yıl idi. Engelli bireylerde en fazla Serebral Palsi tanısı (%47,5) ve en fazla fiziksel engel mevcuttu (%49,2). Ebeveynlerin yaş ortalaması 38,22±7,85 yıl idi. Cornell Kas İskelet Rahatsızlık Anketi alt bölüm skorları incelendiğinde en yüksek skorun bel bölgesinde (15,94±24,59) olduğu görüldü. Cornell Kas İskelet Rahatsızlık Anketi toplam skoru ortalama 106,13±185,09 idi. Engelli bireylerin yürüyebilme, yemek yiyebilme, tuvalet ihtiyacını giderme, giyinme aktivitelerinde bağımsızlık durumuna göre bakım veren ebeveynlerin Cornell Kas İskelet Rahatsızlık Anketi skorları arasında anlamlı fark bulundu (p<0,05). Engelli bireyin engel süresi ile ebeveynlerin Cornell Kas İskelet Rahatsızlık Anketi skorları arasında anlamlı ilişki bulundu (r=0,283, p=0,03). Yemek yeme, yürüme, tuvalet ve giyinme aktivitelerinde bağımsız olan engelli bireylere bakım veren ebeveynlerin kas iskelet sistemi rahatsızlıklarının daha az olduğu görüldü. Engelli bireylerin günlük yaşam aktivitelerinde bağımsızlık düzeyinin arttırılmasına yönelik müdahalelerin bakım veren ebeveynlerin kas-iskelet sistemi rahatsızlıklarının önlenmesi adına yararlı olabileceğini düşünmekteyiz.

Çalışmamızın sonuçlarına göre, Covid-19 döneminde diş hekimliğinin mensuplarından olan ortodontistlerin klinik düzenlerinde özel önlemler aldığı görülmüş ve yapılan Covid-19 aşısının ortodontistlerin korku seviyesini azalttığı tespit edilmiştir.
Geology of Puertecito quadrangle, Socorro, New Mexico
Authors: Tonking William H.
Published: March 2023

Puertecito quadrangle embraces a segment of the Colorado Plateau physiographic province adjacent to the northern and western margins of the Basin and Range province. The center of the area is approximately 21 mi north-northwest of Magdalena, NM. Mapped units include the Abo, Yeso, and San Andres Formations, of Permian age; the Triassic Chinle Formation; Cretaceous Dakota Sandstone, Mancos Shale, and Mesaverde Group; the Tertiary Baca Formation; Tertiary Datil volcanics, minor intrusives, and Santa Fe Group; and Quaternary pediment-veneer gravels, spring deposits, landslides, and alluvium.

The late Miocene (?) Datil volcanics, exposed in the Bear Mountains and the eastern foothills of the Gallinas Mountains, are subdivided into three members: the lower, Spears Member, consists of quartz latite tuff, agglomerate, breccia, and volcanic sandstone and conglomerate; the middle, Hells Mesa Member, consists of semiwelded to welded rhyolite tuff; the upper, La Jara Peak Member, consists of flows and flow breccias of basalt in the lower portions, and basaltic andesite in the upper part. The composition range in the La Jara Peak Member is explained readily by fractionation in the magma chamber. For the most part, dikes and sills of syenodiorite are intrusive only into Permian strata, whereas basaltic dikes, sills, and plugs are largely intrusive into post-Permian strata, including the upper portion of the late Miocene (?) volcanic sequence.

At least two periods of deformation took place in this quadrangle. The first orogeny, which occurred in late-Cretaceous or early-Tertiary time, consisted essentially of eastward directed compressional forces that resulted in the formation of the La Cruz anticline and the Sierra Lucero uplift. The basal portions of the Baca Formation are interpreted as synorogenic, for they were folded with older beds during this deformation. The second orogeny took place in late-Miocene (?) time before the cessation of volcanism. Normal faulting, with a large horizontal component of movement, resulted from this deformation, which apparently was a product of a force couple directed in an east-southeast and west-northwest direction. Dike swarms trend about N. 10 W., parallel to the major trend of the faults, and were intruded during the early stages of faulting. The Santa Fe Group, which overlies the Datil volcanics, has not been faulted or intruded in this area.

Detailed petrographic work is correlated with six chemical analyses that were made of the igneous rocks. The refractive indices of fused samples were plotted against the percentage of silica in the chemical analyses. These data indicate that the syenodiorite intrusions are not consanguineous with the extrusions and basaltic dikes. Application of this silica-refractive-index curve to the volcanic rocks of the Gallinas Mountains suggests that they are chemically similar to those of the Bear Mountains. Several stratigraphic sections were measured and are shown in the appendix.
The Pelican area, Palomas (Hermosa) district, Sierra County, New Mexico
Authors: Jahns Richard H.
Published: March 2023

The Palomas mining district, in northwestern Sierra County, NM, is 27 airline miles west of the Rio Grande and 63 airline miles north of Deming. It lies immediately east of the Black Range, and is traversed from west to east by the steep-walled canyon of Palomas Creek.

Deposits of silver, gold, lead, zinc, and copper are present in the Palomas Camp area, which is less than 1 sq mi in extent but includes the principle mines in the district. The commercial output from this area has consisted almost wholly of precious metals, and its total value since about 1875 is estimated at approximately $1.5 million. A substantial fraction of this production came from the Pelican mine, on the north side of Palomas Creek.

The geologic relations and possibilities for discovery of additional ore in the Palomas Camp area have been discussed in a short preliminary report, published in 1955 as Circular 33. Supplementary information concerning the stratigraphic and structural relationships within a part of this area is offered in the form of the present map. This map will appear later in a comprehensive report on the entire district, but is released separately at this time in order to make representative geologic data available as promptly as possible.
Geology of the central Peloncillo Mountains, Hidalgo County, New Mexico and Cochise County, Arizona
Authors: Gillerman Elliot G.
Published: March 2023

In recent years a great impetus has been given to the study of the stratigraphy and igneous geology of southwestern New Mexico. The ever-increasing search for mineral and petroleum deposits has made necessary a reevaluation of the geology of the region. Areas have been restudied, and areas which previously had been geologically bypassed have been investigated. As part of this "new look" the geologic map of New Mexico is being revised, and the New Mexico Bureau of Mines and Mineral Resources is engaged presently in completing the geologic reconnaissance mapping of southwestern New Mexico for the new map. This report is one of a series representing detailed studies of areas regarded as critical both with respect to geologic information and to knowledge of mineral deposits.

The central Peloncillo Mountains, situated as they are on the New Mexico-Arizona boundary, are critical in a comparison and correlation of the geology of these two States. The mountains contain a relatively complete sequence of lower Paleozoic strata, similar to strata in portions of New Mexico farther east, but the older rocks of the sequence closely resemble rocks in Arizona. The upper Paleozoic strata are similar to rocks of southeastern Arizona and indicate a closer relationship with western areas. The Cretaceous rocks are closely allied to rocks to the south, in Mexico, and represent the northernmost exposures of the thick Lower Cretaceous sequence of southeastern Arizona, southwestern New Mexico, Sonora, and Chihuahua, with its included volcanic rocks.

The long volcanic history of the region is well represented in the area. Lower Cretaceous, Upper Cretaceous or lower Tertiary, middle and upper Tertiary, and Quaternary volcanic rocks are exposed. The distinction between the different periods of volcanic activity is particularly important in the search for mineral deposits, because no important base-metal deposits have been found in southwestern New Mexico in the younger volcanic rocks.

Western officials and media have portrayed Russia as a rogue state that seeks to undermine the fundamental foundations of the Western lifestyle, which are based on democratic and liberal principles, especially more since the invasion of the remaining Ukrainian territories began on 24 February 2022. According to this perspective, Russia allegedly launched its strike to prevent Ukraine from joining the club of liberal nations. This move would have been a clear message to any other post-Soviet countries, further strengthening Russian control over them. It would be unfair to completely dismiss this argument, yet, justifying the simplification of the procedure and the continuation of conflict on these reasons goes much beyond presenting the facts. A thorough examination of the many issues involved is necessary to comprehend the Russian motivations for the ongoing war. This calls for an in-depth analysis of the Crimean Question, focusing on how Russia uses demographics in its foreign strategy. In addition, within the broader context of The Russian World (Russkiy Mir) Vision, it is crucial to understand the relevance of Russia’s unique perspective on Ukraine. The objective of this study is to provide an analytical framework concentrating on these apparently most visible factors for Russia’s willingness to raise tensions in Eastern Europe further and invade the remaining territory under the sovereignty of Ukraine.
Imperial or Colonial: The War is Fought Over the Soviet Past and a Broken Partnership

Russia is trying, through its bombs, attacks, and brutality, to erase what Ukraine was. Therefore, it is a war effort to keep remembering how Ukraine in peace looked like, how it smelled, tasted, and felt. And to never forget that this is a war against Ukraine, in its own right. Not as a representative of the West, and not as a representative of democracy. But because Ukraine is of such importance to Russia, that a break between the two is unthinkable for Putin. That was what Leonid Kravchuk, the Ukrainian president, realized already in 1991. He, and Ukrainian leaders after him, tried to protect their territory while at the same time reassuring Russia that relations could still be friendly. But Russia has never changed in a similar way.
Will Türkiye Find Herself a Place in the New World Order?
Authors: Tuna Oğul
Published: March 2023

Türkiye has been a challenging actor in the regional and global politics since the early 2010s, which relies on its imperial past and soft power. This paper argues that Türkiye has embraced a conventional foreign policy principle, pursuing the balance of power, to adapt to the new multipolar world in the contemporary period, which can be defined as “the new nineteenth century.” The country can only exploit its power and resilience to the utmost extent after realizing its limitations to accomplish its regional and international foreign policy goals. Then, it might emerge as a dependable crisis mediator and a significant player in world politics.

Problematizamos o ensino e a aprendizagem na EaD para produzirmos conhecimento sobre suas especificidades e para promovermos uma experiência de qualidade nesse contexto. Assim sendo, abordamos noções de interação e linguagem de Bakhtin (2003), Saber Situado de AUTOR (2017) e aspectos da EaD de Moore (1997) e outros. Nossa metodologia é qualitativa, de cunho etnográfico, e está fundamentada na Linguística aplicada (MOITA LOPES, 2006). Observamos, com análise de dados, que há mais interação e de melhor qualidade quando se visa um saber situado. Concluímos, na sequência, que a qualidade da interação tem implicação nos graus de distanciamento pedagógico.

Authors: Borsatti Débora Ache , Gabriel Rosângela
Published: March 2023

A leitura em línguas adicionais, especialmente em língua Inglesa, é uma exigência para os estudantes de pós-graduação brasileiros nos cursos de mestrado e doutorado. Nos cursos de inglês para fins acadêmicos, a leitura é ensinada através dos aspectos linguísticos e de estratégias de leitura. Neste artigo, apresentamos um estudo realizado a partir do uso da tradução automática (TA), mais especificamente do Google Translate (GT) como uma ferramenta pedagógica para a aprendizagem de língua mediada pelo computador ou CALL (Computer-Assisted Language Learning), voltada ao ensino de estratégias que visa sanar as dificuldades de leitura inglês neste âmbito. Os resultados demonstram que o uso pedagógico do tradutor automático através de uma instrução explícita auxilia na compreensão leitora em inglês para fins acadêmicos, bem como promove maior consciência dos estudantes acerca do funcionamento do TA, o que implica uma utilização mais autônoma, crítica e eficaz da ferramenta.

ciencia a través de los científicos
Authors: Valdés Julián Félix
Published: March 2023

La ciencia como actividad humana difiere de científico a científico en los aspectos más básicos, en el concepto más elemental y en la metodología que debe cumplir para ajustar el requisito de ciencia. Estas variaciones sutiles se ven claramente marcadas a lo largo de las épocas. Esos ligeros matices en el concepto de ciencia, que dependen de la persona que practica la ciencia, hacen que ésta avance, y que el método científico se perfeccione en la práctica y evolucione con los tiempos, resultando en una propuesta más acabada de ciencia y una metodología más profunda que cala más hondo en la investigación de la naturaleza. Esta es una exposición y un análisis de las variaciones del concepto de ciencia entre científicos de la misma época y entre diferentes épocas.

Uso y abuso de internet
Authors: Martínez Gutiérrez Graciela , García López Edgar Josué , García Ramírez Jessica
Published: March 2023

En la actualidad el Internet está produciendo un rápido cambio en las costumbres y modos de vida de las personas, modificándose la forma en que se relacionan unos con otros. Un exagerado uso de Internet está asociado con una disminución en la comunicación con los miembros de la familia en el hogar y un incremento en los niveles de aislamiento, baja autoestima y depresión; aún existe controversia si son causados por la adicción a Internet o estos problemas psicológicos potencian la adicción. En este estudio se analizaron dos muestras de población infantil, quienes tendieron a minimizar el uso de Internet (normalizándolo), siendo este el principal obstáculo para detectar la existencia de una adicción. Existe una tendencia a ubicarse en la categoría de “usuarios sin problemas”, por ello, no existen disparadores o señales que hagan evidente una adicción en una exploración inicial.
obligatoriedad de la educación media superior en México en la perspectiva del derecho a la educación
Authors: Tapia García Guillermo A.
Published: March 2023

El establecimiento de la obligatoriedad de la educación media superior en México no es parte de la agenda de los derechos humanos, en particular, no se sustenta en la progresividad del derecho a la educación. De hecho, resulta inapropiada como estrategia de generalización de la cobertura de la educación media superior frente al tamaño de los rezagos existentes y la profundidad de las desigualdades de la población en relación con la oportunidad de acceder y permanecer en ese nivel educativo. Por ello las políticas impulsadas por el gobierno federal para atender a jóvenes de sectores populares, sobre todo rurales y urbano-marginales redundan en la producción de mayores desigualdades, al establecer nuevos circuitos de escolarización, que segmentan y aún más, fragmentan las trayectorias escolares. Es así que la obligatoriedad es una falacia de política educativa en la perspectiva del derecho a la educación.
