Published: September 2024

The text explores the formation of family and community doctors with a specific focus on acting in rural areas and the health of the indigenous population, a frequently neglected aspect in residency programs in large urban centers. The narrative details an internship at the Macapá Indigenous Health Support House (Casai) and at the base hub of the Manga village, located in Oiapoque, Amapá. During this internship, the resident doctor of the municipality of Rio de Janeiro-RJ had the opportunity to provide medical attention directly to indigenous communities of the villages of Amapá and northern Pará. A central aspect of the text is the importance of exchange between scientific knowledge and traditional indigenous practices. The respect demonstrated by the indigenous population and the credibility attributed to their beliefs were essential to the effectiveness of the care performed. This experience offered the resident significant learning about person -centered medicine, allowing enriching contact with different cultures and traditions. These cultures have unique visions and understandings about the process of getting sick and healing, which contributed to a broader and more integrated understanding of health care. The internship stressed the importance of recognizing and respecting cultural practices in medical practice.

“Comparison of Thyroid Uptake by Tc – 99m Pertechnetate and Iodine – 131 for Euthyroid & Hypothyroid Patients”
Authors: Rabbi Md. Kaiyum
Published: September 2024

Euthyroidism is defined as normal functioning thyroid gland that occurs with normal serum levels of TSH and T4. Lower than normal T4 levels usually mean its hypothyroidism. This thyroid condition can be treated with radioactive therapy using uptake studies by Iodine-131 and Tc-99m. Oral administration of I-131 has been a commonly accepted procedure for treatment of benign and malignant conditions of the thyroid since the 1940s. However, thyroid uptake using Tc-99m has proven to be more advantageous than with I-131, since the procedure is faster, short half-life (only 6 hours), short retention in the gland, no beta (-) radiation thus providing low dose to the thyroid gland (10000 times less than that of I-131) and the images have better quality for its gamma photon of 140keV. So the aim of this study was to make a comparison between I-131 and Tc-99m for performing thyroid uptake and to correlate them for both euthyroid and hypothyroid patients and hence to standardize a simple and fast method for performing thyroid uptake. This study was made for 87 patients (58 females and 29 males) with ages ranging from 14 to 75 years (mean of 39.2 years) were done with both I-131 and Tc-99m. The type of patients was euthyroid, hyperthyroid and hypothyroid. The correlation and comparison between I-131 and Tc-99m was studied for euthyroid and hypothyroid patients. From this study out of 87 patients 32 were found euthyroid, 12 were hypothyroid and others were hyperthyroid. Out of 32 euthyroid patients 26 patients were positive with both Tc-99m and I-131. 6 patients had negative results with Tc-99m and positive results with I-131. Out of 12 hypothyroid patients 10 patients were positive with both Tc-99m and I-131. 2 patients had negative results with Tc-99m and positive results with I-131. A statistically significant correlation was found between I-131 and Tc-99m data for euthyroid patients (r = 0.49, p-value = 0.005). But for hypothyroid patients (r = 0.56, p value = 0.058) which indicates statistically not significant correlation. Considering I-131 imaging as the gold-standard procedure, Tc-99m had a good correlation with I-131 for the detection of euthyroidism but not for the hypothyroidism. So, the consideration of thyroid structure and function using Tc-99m is a simple, fast, better and efficient method for euthyroid patients according to its advantages over I-131 and also for the good quality correlation of this study. To show better correlation for hypothyroidism; further study should be needed with more patients.

Published: September 2024

Globally, the performance of the construction industry is often cited as one of low performance.  Whilst concerted efforts have been made aimed at improving the performance of the construction industry through various strategies, the impact of construction site managers’ technical and managerial skills remains relatively unexplored.  This study assesses the impact of construction site manager’s technical and managerial skills on quality performance of construction projects in Ghana. The descriptive survey design was used for the study. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 115 respondents for the study. The findings of the study revealed that construction site managers were not especially skilled in technical, legal, interpersonal, managerial, and business skills. The findings of the study suggest that the level of implementation of quality management practices among construction site managers for attaining high quality standards was acceptably high. The study revealed that the most significant skill requirements that can improve quality performance at construction sites was managerial and technical skills. The findings of the study disclosed that there is a statistically significant positive correlation between construction site manager’s skills and quality performance of construction projects they managed. It is recommended among others that efforts should be made by the top management of construction firms to create a quality management culture throughout the entire organisations.    .

Semantic Features of Phraseological Units in English and Uzbek Languages
Authors: Odilovna Rаxmоnоvа Iroda
Published: September 2024

This article examines the semantic features of phraseological units in English and Uzbek languages, focusing on their classification and distinct characteristics. While phraseological semantics shares similarities with lexical semantics, it exhibits unique traits. The study addresses the knowledge gap in the classification of phraseological units by exploring their broader semantic structure, which transcends denotative and connotative meanings. The research employs a comparative linguistic methodology, analyzing the semantic components of phraseological units in both languages. Findings reveal that phraseological units in English and Uzbek have different types of semantic structures, yet share common elements. Sh. Rakhmatullayev's classification of Uzbek phraseological units into integrity, mixing, and introduction provides a foundational framework. The study identifies three main types of phraseological meanings: idiomatic, idiophraseomatic, and phraseomatic. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex nature of phraseological semantics. The implications of this research extend to language teaching and cross-cultural communication, providing a valuable reference for linguists, educators, and translators working with phraseological units in both languages. The study highlights the need for further exploration into the classification and interpretation of phraseological units, encouraging future research in this underexplored area.
Pragmatic Strategies in Artistic Translation: Balancing Creativity and Cultural Adaptation
Authors: Akram Kizi Toshniyozova Gulnoza , Saporbayevich Akhmedov Oybek
Published: September 2024

This study investigates the communicative-pragmatic aspects of artistic translation, focusing on how translators navigate the complexities of preserving the original text's artistic and aesthetic integrity while adapting it to a different cultural and linguistic context. Despite extensive research in translation studies, a systematic exploration of pragmatic motivations and strategies in artistic translation remains underdeveloped. This research addresses this gap by employing a comprehensive methodological approach that includes descriptive-analytical, semantic-stylistic, and literary analysis of original texts and their translations. The findings highlight the critical role of the translator's creative interpretation in maintaining the balance between fidelity to the original text and the need for cultural adaptation. The results demonstrate that pragmatic strategies significantly influence the translation process, particularly in how verbal-artistic information is transformed to resonate with the target audience. The study also suggests that these strategies are essential for achieving functional equivalence and preserving the artistic value of the original work. The implications of this research are significant for both translation theory and practice, emphasizing the need for enhanced training programs that focus on the development of creative and pragmatic skills in translators. Further research is recommended to explore the emotional and experiential dimensions of translation, as these aspects remain crucial yet underexplored in current literature.
Transforming Tomaszów Mazowiecki Towards a Modern City: Summarizing a Three-Decade of Post-Socialist Urban Transition
Authors: CUDNY Waldemar
Published: September 2024

The aim of this study is to summarize thirty years of demographic and socio-economic transformations in Tomaszów Mazowiecki, a medium-sized post-industrial Polish city. Although there has been extensive research on the issue of post-socialist transition in fields such as economy, sociology, and human geography, there is a lack of comprehensive summaries. This text seeks to fill that gap by presenting an overview of thirty years of post-socialist transition using Tomaszów Mazowiecki as an example. The analysis is based on desk research, which includes reviewing literature and statistical data. The post-socialist transition in Tomaszów Mazowiecki has been characterized by significant socio-economic changes, such as the decline of industrial giants, the growth of a diverse service sector, and integration into broader European socio-economic frameworks following the fall of communism. Like many post-socialist cities, Tomaszów Mazowiecki has experienced periods of profound change, including industrial diversification, demographic shifts, and social challenges. However, it has ultimately emerged as a city that balances modernization with sustainable development and economic growth with quality of life.

Published: September 2024

Ethiopia, a landlocked country in sub-Saharan Africa has given high priority to intelligent transport infrastructure. This study assesses the economic impact of intelligent transport infrastructure, and the moderating effect of leadership governance environments. To find the impact of intelligent transport infrastructure, the co-integration between intelligent transport infrastructure and economic growth is determined by performing F-test using the autoregressive distributed lag bound test model and then, the elasticity of economic growth is estimated using Ordinary Least Square estimation techniques. The results show that intelligent transport infrastructure has a signiﬁcant long-term positive impact on economic growth and the short-term dynamics shows the speed of adjustment is 10% adjusted each year toward the long-run path. The moderating eﬀect of the leadership governance environment examined using hierarchical multiple regression model yielded results about its substantial moderating eﬀect on the relationship between intelligent transport infrastructure and economic growth.
Impact of ESG-Related Government Efforts on Economic Growth
Authors: NOROCEL Ioan-Iulian
Published: September 2024

The subject of ESG and green economy is of high importance for most economists and policymakers around the world. It is, however, still debatable whether ESG efforts also add economic value and as governments are seen as the main driver in the quest of achieving ESG goals, I aim at studying what is the benefit of ESG-related governmental efforts for the economy. While the literature very well documents the general impact of public spending on economic growth and touches, on separate occasions, on environmental spending, few papers, to the best of my knowledge, this paper aims at filling a gap in the literature by studying the combined impact of different types of environmental- and social-related spending on economic prosperity. This analysis is performed on a macro level, using country-level data for the 27 European Union member states. By implementing a combined econometric analysis consisting of fixed-effects regression models, dynamic ordinary least squares and fully modified least squares, and Granger causality the results indicate mixed effects of ESG efforts towards economic growth. The findings suggest that increasing public spending on education and health has detrimental effect of economic growth whilst environmental protection government spending and taxation are not impacting growth in a significant way. The results can provide public policy advice as to how authorities should make use of their available resources to promote sustainability while retaining wealth creation.

SOCIAL INEQUALITY AND DEAGRARIANIZATION IN RURAL CHANGE
Authors:   School of Social Sciences, Department of Social Work, Mizoram University (A Central University), Aizawl 796004, Mizoram, India, Makwana Gautam , Elizabeth H
Published: September 2024

Deagrarianization describes the variety of alterations and modifications that rural people and communities went through as the global economies developed. Deagrarianization, when viewed as social change, is also a process of social inequality development and transmission. This essay examines how the spatial separation of agrarian operations contributes to the perpetuation of socioeconomic injustices. First, socioeconomic and cultural changes in the countryside establish agricultural territories in accordance with flexible productive specialization, which is one aspect of the socio-territorial differentiation process explored in this study. The ways in which both rural and urban population live are likewise redefined by these developments. Second, shifts in the rural-urban divide result in new socio-territorial links, which entail spatial reconfigurations. The ethno-territorial fragmentation of communities is also linked to rising mobility (migrations and displacements). This paper`s conclusion identifies many deagrarianization-related origins of inequality.

Authors:   Department of Social Work, The Bhopal School of Social Sciences, Abbas Lama , Joseph Dr Sheeba ,   Department of Social Work, The Bhopal School of Social Sciences
Published: September 2024

Learning disabilities such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can significantly impact a student`s ability to learn and succeed in school (American Psychiatric Association, 2015). Despite their prevalence, there is often a lack of understanding and knowledge about these conditions among educators. This lack of awareness can result in misdiagnosis, inappropriate interventions, and a lack of support for students with learning disabilities, leading to academic and behavioral challenges. This study highlights the importance of addressing the varying levels of awareness among educators regarding learning disabilities. It emphasizes the need for targeted interventions, such as professional development opportunities, collaboration among educators, and policy changes, to improve awareness and understanding.

Authors:   Department of social work, the bhopal school of social sciences, Gurjar Akansha , Simon Dr. Richi ,   Department of social work, the bhopal school of social sciences
Published: September 2024

The research delves into the exploration of gender roles within the Anganwadi community of Rachna Nagar, Bhopal, aiming to illuminate prevailing norms influencing decision-making, domestic responsibilities, and career choices. Gender roles, deeply entrenched in societal expectations, shape power dynamics and individuals` experiences within communities. The study, employing a mixed-methods approach, examines the influence of education attainment on gender roles to provide nuanced insights into gender dynamics within this specific context. Findings reveal entrenched traditional gender stereotypes, evidenced by the predominant male authority in decision-making within households and the unequal distribution of domestic responsibilities. Moreover, perceptions regarding education and career opportunities underscore gender biases, with males often favored over females. Despite advancements, disparities persist, with women expected to prioritize family well-being over their own careers. The study also highlights disparities in skill development opportunities and the celebration of achievements, reflecting deep-seated gender biases. Education attainment significantly influences perceptions of gender roles, with higher education associated with greater autonomy. However, cultural expectations and societal norms continue to perpetuate traditional gender stereotypes, hindering gender equality. The study emphasizes the need for targeted interventions to challenge these norms, promote gender equality, and empower individuals to make choices based on abilities rather than societal expectations dictated by gender. By addressing systemic inequalities, communities can foster a more inclusive and equitable society where individuals of all genders have the opportunity to thrive.

In the recent past, the concern for battling climate change seems to have taken the center stage world over and rightfully so. A plenty of global conventions, treaties and conferences highlighting the significance of ensuring the health of our planet, bear evidence to the fact that the threat of climate change is real and needs to be dealt with collective effort. The largest democracy in the world, India, has been and continues to be an active participant in such endeavors. Even the Constitution of India provides provisions on the subject of environment protection. For instance, Article 51A(g) prescribes the fundamental duty of every citizen of India to protect and improve the natural environment and have compassion for all living creatures. In order to uphold this spirit of the Constitution along with meeting the international commitments, such environment related legislation as The Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 and The National Green Tribunal Act, 2010 etc. have been enacted in India from time to time. However, the implementation of such laws has not been very efficient, with lack of citizen engagement being a major reason. This paper makes an attempt to look at this issue through the lens of Psychology. The aim is to highlight the idea that the solution of dealing with climate change lies in adopting an interdisciplinary approach; and that it can produce effective measures if environmental laws are formulated and implemented in accordance with the principles of Psychology that govern behavior change (Psycho-legal perspective).

In the framework of socialist and democratic liberalization, welfare-oriented policies and activities have been implemented in every nation. These NGOs are known for their philanthropic and humanitarian help approaches. NGOs now play a crucial role in welfare states and development initiatives. NGOs use a variety of strategies to manage current issues; many of them have discovered based and workable solutions to address major socio-economic and political issues. Growing populations, impoverishment, joblessness, and infectious and non-communicable illnesses are among the issues that growing nations frequently deal with these days. NGOs are referred to as not-for-profit organizations in India. These are renowned for their philanthropy and are frequently referred to as civil society groups. This theoretical research paper examines the many ways and tactics that nongovernmental organizations in India’s development sectors will employ. The functions that NGOs play in the socio-economic development of the country are also the subject of this study.

Abstract. The study of subglacial lakes requires clean access and sampling technologies. One of the most promising alternatives is the newly developed hot-point RECoverable Autonomous Sonde (RECAS), which allows downward and upward ice drilling and subglacial water sampling while the subglacial lake remains isolated from the surface. The original sonde descends downward under the force of gravity, and the borehole trajectory cannot be controlled. However, in certain cases, the sonde would preferably be able to drill at specific angles and directions, enabling it to follow a desired trajectory (e.g., maintaining verticality within the desired range) or bypass obstacles in the ice (e.g., stones and other inclusions). The general principle for the steering RECAS is to adjust the voltage for the electric thermal head heaters, which provides an opportunity to control the heat distribution on the drill head surface, thereby altering borehole trajectory during drilling. In this paper, the general principles of steering RECAS are described, and experimental results on deviational ice drilling with a controllable electric thermal head are discussed.
Antígona González
Authors: Meyer Cal y Mayor Paulina
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this text is to explore Antígona González's poem as an alternative form of creative writing that, using the technique coined as appropriation by Cristina Rivera Garza, establishes a communality of voices that share the same traumatic experience of losing a beloved one to the enforced disappearances that the War on Drugs caused on Mexico. Incorporating a pastiche of various sources, as well as utilizing the mythical figure of Antigone as an avatar for anyone searching for a corpse, Sara Uribe points to a phenomenon that does not occur accidentally or individually, but rather a systematic crisis caused by a negligent neoliberal state that affects everyone. Likewise, the use of appropriation and patchwork allows for the division of the pain of sharing these traumatic experiences and provides a technique to oppose the very nature of this voracious capitalism through a gesture that rejects the idea of ​​writing as an individual act. Finally, the poem itself represents a site to bury and materialize these bodies that the state disappears.
Acoustic features of labial and dental plosives in children with hypernasality

Published: September 2024

Cleft lip and palate (CLP) is a birth defect that can have negative effects on feeding, physical appearance, speech, hearing, and psychological development.VFI-induced hypernasality are high-pressure sounds such as plosives, fricatives, and affricates. In this study, the influence of hypernasality on plosive sounds was investigated. Six children with CLP with hypernasality and six children with typical development participated in this descriptive comparative study. All of the participants were between 10 and 12 years old and were native Turkish speakers. These two groups were matched by age and gender. For the acoustic analysis, the stop component, burst duration, and total duration of each target sound were calculated. Additionally, voice onset time (VOT) was assessed and contrasted between groups. A linear mixed-effects model was used for the statistical analysis. This study demonstrates that children with hypernasality have longer target sound durations. In addition, the burst duration of target sounds is determined to be prolonged in this group. Moreover, hypernasality is linked to a prolonged stop duration. Children without hypernasality experience a shortened duration of VOT than those with hypernasality. According to this study's findings, velofarengeal insufficiency has an effect on the duration of obstruent sounds. This explains the differences between the hypernasality group and the non-hypernasality group. This research suggests that CLP therapy for children may enhance their condition. Using acoustic measurements, this investigation generates theoretical results. Therapies' administration and evaluation could be combined.

In foreign language teaching, not only grammar but also cultural teaching should be targeted. It is important that the selected texts facilitate both language learning and cultural learning and make students love language teaching. In order to teach Turkish and Turkish culture, students should read texts that describe Turkish culture and convey the cultural elements in these texts to others in written and oral form, which allows them to know and embrace these cultural elements. The texts used should include cultural elements and should be aimed at teaching Turkish culture to students. Reading texts that accurately convey Turkish culture should be included in teaching Turkish to foreigners. Because each language is taught within its own logic. The purpose of this research is to address the importance and necessity of using texts for cultural transfer. In this direction, a case study was conducted within the framework of qualitative research and the research was presented. In the formation of the research, the texts named Wedding in Anatolia, Turkish Bracelets, Sultan Ahmet Mosque and Hagia Sophia were selected and examined in terms of cultural transfer during the teaching of Turkish to foreigners. As a result of the research, it was determined that students who read the selected texts and learn Turkish as a foreign language will be introduced to Turkish culture, customs and traditions. Key words: Teaching Turkish as a foreign language, Turkish language, text usage, cultural transfer, achievements, processing of text process
Examining the Doctrine of Causation in Anti-Dumping Investigations: An Analysis of the EU Court of Justice Interpretations in Case C-638/11
Authors: Bilal Muhammad
Published: September 2024

This research paper assesses the interpretations of Article 3(7) of the basic regulation by the General Court and the EU Court of Justice in Case C-638/11. The study highlights that the broad and non-exhaustive nature of Article 3(7) has led to divergent interpretations by the two courts. The General Court’s approach, applying the ‘Mischief Rule’ of interpretation, suggests that institutions should distinguish between the injury caused by dumped imports and that caused by other known factors. The court further posits that the list of factors in Article 3(7) should be considered illustrative rather than definitive, thus necessitating an evaluation of all relevant factors, which can vary with each case. Conversely, the EU Court of Justice rejected the inclusion of legislative amendments, such as the grant of GSP status, as other known factors affecting the Union industry, arguing they should be assessed only in their impact on the dumped imports. The paper challenges this stance by asserting that legislative changes and GSP status should be recognized as significant factors under Article 3(7) because they directly impact the Union market. It is argued that the EU institutions should have conducted a non-attribution analysis considering these factors, given their known effect on trade dynamics. The findings reveal that the vague and broad language of Article 3(7) has led to inconsistent applications and interpretations. The paper concludes with a recommendation for a more detailed and comprehensive list of factors to enhance clarity and consistency in causal link analyses.
The Effect of a Firm’s Zombie Status on Its Innovation in R&D- active SMEs: Focusing on the Moderating Effect of Zombie Congestion
Authors: MA Hyoung Ryul , Dwyer Debra Sabatini
Published: September 2024

This study examines the relationship between a firm’s zombie status and its innovation, focusing on the moderating effect of zombie congestion. Using data from small and medium-sized enterprises in government-sponsored R&D projects, this study drew key findings. First, zombie firms invest more in R&D than non-zombie firms, and the moderation effect of zombie congestion in an industry on a zombie firm’s R&D investment is revealed. Second, zombie firms that engage in R&D are more likely to achieve technological success than non-zombie firms, although the likelihood of realizing commercial success is not significantly different. However, there is no evidence of zombie congestion moderating the relationship between zombie status and innovation output. We conclude that, in R&D-active SMEs, their zombie status would not negatively impact their innovation. The industry-level zombie congestion moderates the relationship between a zombie status and R&D investment. Policymakers need to adopt industry-specific strategies to address zombie firms.
