The crisis of dialogue and relationship in marriage in the perspective of the attachment theory
Authors: Kornaszewska-Polak Monika
Published: June 2021

There have been many analyzes of changes and crisis, or – as some put it – “the lifestyle revolution”, in the face of the changes in the structure and functioning of marriage and family in the last thirty years. In culture and social life, trends related to individualism, autonomy and independence come to the fore, for which new means of virtual communication constitute the ideal space. The aspects of gender differences in emotionality, communication and coping with difficult situations by spouses will be indicated in describing the psychological conditions of marital communication at the background of the aforementioned changes and attachment-forming processes. In this context, the main thesis of the article was put forward that the lack of proper communication in a marriage leads to the breakdown of ties and relationships. Considering this issue, the experience of conflicts and crises by spouses, virtual communication depriving them of their actual presence, negotiating goals related to distance and closeness were considered. Ultimately, attempts were made to outline the consequences that result from the breakdown of relationships – loneliness, isolation and exclusion.
Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński – a man of dialogue
Authors: Mazanka Paweł
Published: June 2021

Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński was not only an “unbreakable Primate”, but above all, a man of dialogue. He was able to meet every person and to talk to them. In his conversations, he listened patiently, he did not impose his opinion and he was mostly trying to seek for common levels of agreement. According to him, the greatest wisdom is to be able to unite, not to divide.

The article indicates some sources and forms of this dialogue. It was a supernatural source and a natural one. The first one is a permanent dialogue of the Primate with God, as well as with the Blessed Mother and with saints. Cardinal Wyszyński was a man of deep prayer, and he undeniably took from this source strength for everyday meetings, conversations, and making decisions. The second crucial source was his philosophico-theological education. As a Christian personalist, the Primate took from the achievements of such thinkers as Aristotle, St. Thomas, St. Augustin, as well as J. Maritain, G. Marcel, J. Woroniecki, and W. Korniłowicz.

The article discusses some aspects of dialogue with people, taking into account, above all, two social groups: youth, and , and representatives of the communist state power. Presenting Cardinal Wyszyński as a man of dialogue seems to be very useful and topical nowadays because of different controversies and disputes occurring in our state, in our Church and in relationships between the older and the younger generation.

Wastewater Treatment for Heavy Metals and Dyes Using Low-Cost Biosorbents: A Review
Authors: BONDAREV Andreea
Published: June 2021

The pollution of industrial wastewater with heavy metals and dyes is a highly important environmental problem, because of the propagation of the pollution and because of its unfavourable consequences. Sustainable wastewater treatment is one of the foremost challenges of this century. Various waste materials characterized by lignocellulose composition are low cost, non-conventional adsorbent for biosorptive removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. Recent studies point to the potential of use of low-cost materials (zeolites, carrot residue and green tea waste) as effective sorbents for the removal of Cd2+ from aqueous solution. The use of bentonite to the treatment of wastewater containing reactive dyes in aqueous solutions requires the modification of the hydrophilic surface by inorganic cations with organic cations exchange. The use of bentonite as an inexpensive sorbent for the removal of Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) from synthetic aqueous solutions has been also presented in recent studies. The influence of some parameters such as: pH, initial dye concentration, sorbent dose on sorption kinetics for dye removal has been reviewed in this paper.
Alcohol-related crime or no crime because of the perpetrator’s (factual) insanity?
Authors: Golonka Anna Danuta
Published: June 2021

The criminal liability of the perpetrator of a criminal act is not only conditioned on the objective features of the criminal act but also on the subjective ones (intentional or unintentional behavior). Apart from the subjective features of the act, guilt is also necessary in order to be able to attribute the crime. However, both theory and practice face with one exception to the principle of nullum crimen sine culpa (no crime without guilt). This applies to a state of disturbances of mental functions caused by the perpetrator of a criminal act. There are numerous problems arising from the collision of the need to punish the perpetrator (dictated by criminal policy), and the real state of his/her psyche, which can sometimes speak even for no fault (and thus no crime). It has a significant meaning for the subjective aspects of the crime. The aim of this study is to present these problems based on a dogmatic and legal analysis of regulations and a review of the literature in the field of medicine. The final conclusions lead to a de lege ferenda postulate concerning the legal solution of the above-mentioned dilemmas.

Authors: Thach Trang Huynh Thi Thu , Lai Son Phuoc
Published: June 2021

The objective of this study is to assess heavy metals, copper, cadmium and lead, uptake by food crops andvegetables grown in the greater Bangkok Metropolitan Region in Thailand. The three heavy metals were detected in three types of vegetables cultivated in three provinces Pathum Thani, Ayutthaya, and Nonthaburi representing Greater Bangkok Metropolitan Region (GBMR). An Inductively Coupled Plasma method was used to estimate and evaluate the levels of these metals’ concentration in the vegetables, soil, water, manure, and chemical fertilizer. The physical and chemical characterizations of which were conducted to compare the heavy metals concentrations with similar characteristics. Heavy metals concentrations were compared both in wetand dry season. Moreover, the edible and non-edible parts of the vegetables were also considered for the comparative study and found a significant difference in copper (Cu) concentrations in morning glory.The concentrations of Cu were found in edible and non-edible parts were 0.38 and 1.10 ug/g respectively. To account the flow of heavy metals concentration in  certain location, a mass balance analysis was conducted for the three different provinces, and found that about 18 mg of Cu accumulated in all three provinces. The cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) levels were found to be insignificant. The contributions of the vegetables to the daily intake of the heavy metals from the vegetables were determined.
Making Sense of Natural Disasters
Authors: Solihu Abdul Kabir Hussain
Published: June 2021

Islam states that both natural phenomena and humanity are created in the best conceivable pattern. Yet the physical world experiences occasional disasters that threaten sustainable development. This study seeks to provide a framework for understanding this phenomenon within the Islamic ethico-religious perspective by focusing on such natural disasters as earthquakes, cyclones, subsidence, and floods. In an attempt to demonstrate this, I highlight the Qur’anic perspective of how natural resources have been overwhelmingly a source of boon and occasionally a source of bane. Drawing on that perspective, I provide two accounts for a proper understanding of this phenomenon: a macroscopic perspective that dissociates disastrous effects from natural disturbances, and another perspective that, based on moral law, attributes disasters to humanity’s violation of the divine moral law. That is, natural disasters are not disastrous to all creations unless they befall vulnerable communities, and when they are disastrous they are not natural but human-induced. Both perspectives suggest the imperative of the ecosystem and the divine moral law in the course of social and natural development.
More Than the Ummah
Authors: Berggren D. Jason
Published: June 2021

Many scholars argue that Muslims are more likely to identify themselves in religious terms than as members of particular national political communities. As such, since they are more likely to claim a transnational, religious identity, they should consistently show weaker claims of national, regional, and municipal identity; be less willing to fight for their country; and show lower levels of national pride, regardless of country, region, and majority or minority status. Using data from the 1995-1997 World Values Survey from ten countries, which were supplemented by data from Zogby International and the Pew Research Center, I found that while Muslims tend to be very religious, they do not embrace transnationalism or lack strong national feelings to an exceptional degree when compared with non-Muslims. In fact, many are proud of their country and willing to fight for it.
HUNGARIANS OF TRANSCARPATHIA IN RELATIONS BETWEEN UKRAINE AND HUNGARY AT THE TURN OF THE XX-XXI CENTURIES
Authors: Pivovar Efim Iosifovich , Levchenkov Alexander Stanislavovich , Gushchin Alexander Vladimirovich
Published: June 2021

The article is devoted to the influence of the problem of the status and situation of the Hungarian population of the Transcarpathian region of modern Ukraine on the Ukrainian-Hungarian relations. Based on a wide range of sources - legislative acts, interstate agreements and other diplomatic documents, statements of politicians and public figures, published in the Hungarian and Ukrainian press, as well as in the media of other countries, the dynamics of changes in the approaches of the two countries to the Hungarian issue in Transcarpathia throughout the post-Soviet period is studied. The prerequisites and reasons for the aggravation of relations between Ukraine and Hungary in the 2010s are determined, including both the features of the historical, cultural and socio-economic development of Transcarpathia itself, and the transformation of the political systems of the two countries. The key factors that provoked the acute Ukrainian-Hungarian crisis in the mid-second half of the 2010s were the educational and language policy of Kiev, aimed at Ukrainization, as well as the refusal to make concessions on the autonomy of the Hungarians of Transcarpathia. At the same time, the issue of Transcarpathian Hungarians is only part of a larger problem of Ukrainian domestic and foreign policy - an attempt to form an ethnocentric model in a multicultural society.

ASSESSING KNOWLEDGE OF HYPERTENSION AND ITS RISK FACTORS AMONG PEOPLE RESIDING IN URBAN AREA IN PASCHIM MIDNAPORE,WEST BENGAL, INDIA
Authors: Das Biswajit , Sankar Dash Siddhartha
Published: June 2021

The overall prevalence of raised blood pressure in adults aged 25 and over was around 50% in 2008 Globally. The prevalence is signicantly higher in geriatric population. The number of people with hypertension rose from 600 million in 1980 to nearly 2 billion in 2008. Worldwide, raised blood pressure is estimated to cause 7.5 million deaths, about 12.8% of the total of all annual deaths. This accounts for 57 million DALY (disability adjusted life years)s or 3.7% of total DALYs. Raised blood pressure is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease and ischemic as well as hemorrhagic stroke. Blood pressure levels have been shown to be positively and progressively related to the risk for stroke and coronary heart disease. In some age groups, the risk of cardiovascular disease doubles for each incremental increase of 20/10 mmHg of blood pressure, starting as low as 115/75 mmHg. In addition to coronary heart diseases and stroke, complications of raised blood pressure include heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, renal impairment, retinal hemorrhage and visual impairment. Treating high systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure so they are below 140/90 mmHg is associated with a reduction in cardiovascular complications. Blood pressure can be managed with drugs as well as non-pharmacological measures which consist of exercise, weight reduction, salt restriction, eating fruits and vegetables, etc. Nonpharmacological measures play an important role in management of hypertension. The present study was done to assess knowledge of hypertension and its associated risk factors. Methods:This was a cross-sectional and community-based survey of 500 residents of urban slums in Pascim Midnapore , West bengal, India. Aset of questionnaires assessing knowledge of hypertension and its associated risk factors were used. Results: Most persons (73.6%), possibly due to their negative and neglected attitude towards health promotion.whether having hypertension or not, had average knowledge related to hypertension determinants, diagnosis, management and consequences .Only45% of people knows about the risk factors related to hypertension correctly. Conclusion: It is necessary urgently to promote knowledge, awareness, and health literacy among urban slum residents to prevent hypertension and associated CVDs.

Introduction: Peripheral intravenous catheters are used for administration of uid-electrolytes, blood and blood products, medications and
parenteral nutrition. Phlebitis is the most common complication affects 75% of inpatients and is a signicant clinical problem. It negatively affects
the comfort of the patient, the duration of catheter use, the hospitalization period, and treatment costs. The purpose of this study is to determine the
effect of PVC duration on the development of phlebitis in infectious diseases
Materials and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was done among 652 samples to determine the effect of peripheral venous catheter
(PVC) duration on the development of phlebitis in HCG hospitals. Patients between 18-80 years of age, who were on IV parenteral therapy were
included according to inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Results: Development of phlebitis was observed more during night shifts (p=0.049) and it was due to the solution used for site
preparation(p=0.003), material of the needle(p=0.002), indwelling time of the catheter (0.001). Further, the number of attempts made for IV
insertion(p=0.001) was showing statistically signicant association with the development of phlebitis.
Conclusion: The results suggest that it is very important to focus on the problems associated with the development of phlebitis especially taking
care of patients during night shifts by restricting hand movements. Furthermore, it is also noted that by reducing the number of attempts while
inserting IVcannulas can lower the complications related to IVcannulation.

Published: June 2021

The Body Control Module regulates the operation and coordination between the different parts of the car also by using signals of some sort. The various electronic parts of the vehicle are actually controlled by a Body Control Module – from the car light to the simple door locks; each part has a module that controls it. In today’s automotive setups, these modules are operating under a single assembly – they are now controlled by the Body Control Module. It may seem like the module performs a very complex function. Hence this Body Control Module has been protected from the damage during handling and vehicle running condition. This Body Control Module is subjected to various loading conditions such as vibration loading, Impact loading, mechanical shock. One of the case studies is doing to modify the existing Body Control Module. These modifications are carried out by using Computer Aided Engineering approach and verified by the experimental results. The software being used for the simulation is ANSYS and Ls-DYNA/explicit method.
Acoustic Echo Suppression Using Speech Uncertainty In Modulation Domain
Authors: Shifas Muhammed PV , EP Jayakumar , PS Sathidevi
Published: June 2021

Quality degradation of near-end speech in mobile communication or hands free devices is mainly due to acoustic echoes and background noises. The received far-end speech gets reflected from the obstacles present in the surroundings creating acoustic echo. All other disturbances from the near-end environment are considered as background noises. A novel acoustic echo suppression scheme using speech uncertainty in modulation domain (MD) is proposed in this paper. State of the art acoustic echo suppression systems are based on either time domain or frequency domain analysis. In recent times, the modulation domain analysis is popularly used in speech processing, as it captures the human perceptual properties. Modulation domain provides the temporal variation of the acoustic magnitude spectra which acts as an information bearing signal. In this paper, a new method is developed and implemented to model the echo path and estimate the echo in modulation domain. Echo cancellation is done effectively by manipulating the modulation spectrum and employing speech uncertainty. In this method, the microphone input is modelled as a binary hypothesis process and the gain function is modified accordingly. The proposed method shows better performance as compared to other competitive methods for acoustic echo suppression with no audible degradation in the near-end speech.
S-curve Engineering for ON-state Performance using Anti-ferroelectric/Ferroelectric Stack Negative-Capacitance FinFET
Authors: Huang Shih-En , Su Pin , Hu Chenming
Published: June 2021

In this work, we report that the AFE/FE gate-stack can be utilized to engineer the S-curve for boosting the ION of NC-FinFET. By using a short-channel BSIM-CMG compatible AFE/FE stack NC-FinFET model, the capacitance matching and ON-state performance for AFE/FE stack NC-FinFETs are investigated. Our study indicates that, the AFE/FE gate-stack can be used to improve the capacitance matching in strong inversion at higher gate-bias. Therefore, impressively higher ON-state current (compared to single-layer) can be achieved. In reality, source-drain series resistance will make such high IDS impractical. The more likely strategy is to use lower VDD to achieve much lower power consumption (and reduced vertical fields). While the transient NC effect also needs to be carefully investigated, this study suggests significant long term benefits to VDD scaling if materials with certain AFE and FE properties are developed and introduced in IC manufacturing in the future.
A Three-Phase Model Predictive Approach for Smooth Line-Switching in Islanded Microgrids
Authors: Pompodakis Evangelos , Kryonidis Georgios C. , Alexiadis Minas
Published: June 2021

This paper deals with a new line-switching
method that facilitates the network reconfiguration of islanded microgrids. Its
distinct features include the ability to handle network asymmetries and the
minimization of the line current during the switching action. This is attained
by developing a sensitive-based three-phase model predictive method to
determine the operating set-points of the distributed generators (DGs) that
minimize the current of the candidate line participating in the switching
action. These set-points correspond to the positive-sequence powers as well as
the negative- and zero-sequence currents of all DGs. Furthermore, the network
constraints such as voltage limits and power limits of DGs are always
satisfied. Simulations are performed in a balanced 33-bus islanded network as
well as in the unbalanced IEEE 8500-node network to evaluate the performance of
the proposed method.

Published: June 2021

We present specific sources, including specimens of the Medicean cabinet and geological outcrops in Tuscany, probably used by Nicolaus Steno to build a theory on the origin of organic fossils, crystals and sedimentary strata, in order to construct the history of the Earth based on universal geometric principles. Phenomena he observed in Tuscany and in precedeing travels were revealing a sequence of events consistent with the biblical account. We propose that he devised his method to reconstruct a chronology of primordial events to demonstrate the historicity of the biblical creation in contrast to unorthodox thinking. This had been spreading in philosophical circles of northern Europe since the 1650s, circles frequented by Steno before his arrival in Tuscany in 1666. Steno knew in advance what places to visit to find fossils from literature such as Michele Mercati’s Metallotheca. This was a manuscript owned by the Florentine Carlo Dati, whom Steno probably heard about while in Paris in 1664-1665. In Tuscany he soon formed a tight interaction on matters regarding the interpretation of fossils with the local community of learned men. These included Giovanni Alfonso Borelli who was asked by Prince Leopoldo de’ Medici to provide Steno with fossils from Sicily and Malta. Steno’s theory and scale-independent, geometrical method of inquiry of geological objects found in Tuscany is hinted at in his Canis Carchariae Dissectum Caput, a geological essay completed in a few months in 1666. The theory was published in its most complete form in the so-called Prodromus of 1669. In both works he demonstrated that fossils in younger strata in the Tuscan hills, such as shark teeth and molluscan shells, have an origin analogous to solids which living animals form. In both essays he explicitly related the deposition of strata with marine fossils to the biblical flood, an idea foreshadowed in his oldest known manuscript of 1659, when he was a student in Copenhagen. He found no fossils in older sandstones of the Apennines and understood those strata to have formed before the creation of life. These discoveries  and other observations he made in Tuscany were, for Steno, the final proof that natural philosophy and biblical revelation disclose in synergy the mysteries of God’s creation.

Background: Individuals experiencing osteoarthritis (OA) pain can pose significant costs for governments due to reduced work activity in these individuals and increasing reliance on public support benefits. In this analysis we capture the broader economic impact of OA pain by applying a government perspective, public economic framework to assess controlled and uncontrolled pain. Methods: We used a Markov model to compare labour market participation in people with uncontrolled OA hip or knee pain compared to a cohort with controlled OA pain. The likelihood of employment, long-term sickness, disability, and early retirement in those with controlled pain used publicly available UK data. The relative effect of uncontrolled OA pain on fiscal outcomes is drawn from peer reviewed publications reporting reduced work activity and reliance on public benefits for people with uncontrolled OA pain. Lost tax revenue was derived using UK tax rates and national insurance contributions applied to annual earnings. Social benefit rules were applied to calculate government financial support to individuals. Health-care costs were calculated based on estimates from an UK observational study. The base case analysis compared the projected lost tax revenue and transfer payments for a 50-year-old cohort with severe OA pain, retiring at age 65. Results: For a 50-year-old individual with moderate uncontrolled OA pain with 15-years remaining work expectancy, the model estimated a £62 383 reduction in employment earnings, a £24 307 reduction in tax contributions and a need for £16 034 in government benefits, compared to a person with controlled OA pain. In people with severe uncontrolled OA pain incremental foregone earnings were estimated to be £126 384, £44 925 were not paid through taxation and £25 829 were received in public benefits, compared to the controlled pain cohort. Health-care costs represented 13% and 12% of all OA-related fiscal cost in the moderate uncontrolled OA pain and severe uncontrolled OA pain comparison, respectively. Conclusions: For governments, maintaining an active workforce is paramount to maintaining economic growth and reducing spending on government programs. The approach described here can be used to augment cost-effectiveness models to inform a range of stakeholders of benefits attributed to controlled OA pain.
Preservice Teachers and the Kairos Blanket Exercise: A Narrative Inquiry
Authors: Jack-Malik Sandra , Kuhnke Janet L. , O'Rourke Kristin
Published: June 2021

This narrative study inquired into the experiences of preservice teachers who participated in the Kairos Blanket Exercise. During research conversations, participants shared stories that demonstrated an expansion of their knowledge and awareness. Three themes emerged: the Blanket Exercise and the research conversations were spaces where participants felt safe to ask questions; some participants began to rewrite their understanding of the history of relations; and some participants began to consider how they might contribute to decolonizing. Moreover, participants enriched by the experience were more ready and able to deliver related curricular outcomes, engage reflexively, and consider allyship.
Moving Toward Decolonizing and Indigenizing Curricular and Teaching Practices in Canadian Higher Education
Authors: Mooney Julie A.
Published: June 2021

In this reflective paper, I interweave autoethnographic personal narrative and critical self-reflection with theoretical literature in order to engage and wrestle with decolonizing and Indigenizing my teaching and curricular practices in Canadian higher education. Acknowledging that walking this path is challenging, I seek multiple trailheads in an effort to access my hidden curriculum, my complicit knowledge, and unsettling moments that have the potential to transform me. My objective is to critically interrogate myself to prepare for respectfully and appropriately moving toward reconciliation in my relationships with Indigenous colleagues, students, and communities, and in my work as a curriculum maker.

The COVID-19 pandemic has required educators at all levels to pivot instruction online. In this article, we consider methods we adopted to engage novice science teachers in approximations of teaching, online. We describe the principles of our science teacher education program and provide a rationale for the core feature of our science teaching methods course: practice-based pedagogy. We then discuss adaptations we have made to engage novices in ambitious science teaching practices online, and the affordances and constraints the virtual context posed to these practices. We conclude with a discussion of considerations for online practice-based pedagogy.

Health and education expenditures are among the sources of human capital accumulation. It is claimed that health and education expenditures make a positive contribution to the economic growth process through human capital accumulation. In this study, the development of health expenditures in Turkey in the period 1988-2019 and its impact on economic growth is emphasized. In this context, the effects of life expectancy at birth (LEB) and the health expenditures (HE) on economic growth (GDP) were analyzed with the ARDL co-integration test. It was concluded that there is a co-integration relationship between the variables in the long run. In the study, a positive relationship was determined between LEB, HE and GDP in 1998-2019 period in Turkey. In this framework, it has been observed that a one-unit increase in the LEB causes an increase of 0.018 units in GDP and an increase of one-unit in HE leads to an increase of 0.112 units in GDP. When the effects of LEB and HE variables on economic growth are compared, it is concluded that the HE effect is greater in Turkey. In addition, within the framework of Toda-Yamamoto causality analysis, it was found that there is bidirectional causality relationship between health expenditures and economic growth variables.
