Satisfaction with Online and Face-to-Face Learning: HRD Practices in Times of Crisis and Opportunity
Authors:   Crisis and Emergency Management: Theory and Praxis, Chai Eunkyong , Hwang Eunjin
Published: March 2023

This study investigated the determinants of public officials' satisfaction with learning effectiveness in Korea during the COVID-19 pandemic, when an unprecedented amount of learning began to take place online due to the closure of traditional educational settings. Thus, this study aims to understand employees' satisfaction with online learning compared to face-to-face learning. A survey was conducted about perceptions of differences in goal management, learning needs, and satisfaction with learning in different settings in the public sector. The findings show that employees' satisfaction with face-to-face learning is impacted by goal management and learning needs while program length is associated with employees' satisfaction with online learning. The current study has found that online learning has a limited impact on satisfaction and some types of face-to-face learning programs cannot be replaced by online learning methods. Based on the result, this study provides several implications for HRD professional to develop online and face-to-face learning curriculum.

Hacia el estudio intermedial de la música popular latinoamericana autoral
Authors: González Juan Pablo
Published: March 2023

Este artículo plantea la posibilidad del estudio de la música popular autoral latinoamericana y brasileña de fines del siglo XX como una gran unidad, debido a la existencia de redes, colaboraciones, circuitos e influencias comunes. Por música popular autoral entendemos aquella donde el artista tiene conciencia y control sobre el material en que trabaja, llegando a tensionar el propio género musical en que se desenvuelve. No se trata de un autor único sino que múltiple, surgido del carácter intermedial que posee esta música, formada por letra, música, vocalidad y grabación, a la que se suman el videoclip, el arte de carátula y los discursos asociados. Esta intermedia dialoga con el momento histórico en que se despliega, interpelando al auditor desde sus materialidades múltiples.
Arte e exotismo na representação do ateliê do artista no século XIX em uma aquarela de Rodolpho Amoedo
Authors: Dos Santos Nicolich Natália
Published: March 2023

Os interiores de ateliês se tornaram temas por excelência na arte do século XIX e suas representações na pintura revelam uma gama de questões para a História da Arte. No caso deste artigo, voltamos a atenção para a presença de objetos de origem ou de inspiração em culturas muito distantes da europeia, e por isso identificados como exóticos, no ambiente do ateliê. Esses itens eram normalmente utilizados em composições de pintura, como cenas de gênero, nus e retratos ou para decoração. Mas a representação dos objetos exóticos no ateliê do artista indica outras funções que não somente práticas ou ornamentais. A partir da aquarela Ateliê do artista em Paris (1883), de Rodolpho Amoedo, investigamos o exotismo nas pinturas de ateliê.
Fotografias da Exposição Colonial Portuguesa de 1934: uma afirmação política do regime salazarista
Authors: De Oliveira Marcus Vinicius
Published: March 2023

A fotografia teve um importante papel na elaboração da experiência colonial na metrópole, uma vez que foi usada para documentar as ações desenvolvidas pelo próprio colonialismo em seus diferentes arcos de atuação e afirmar seus ideais políticos, fundamentalmente aqueles que associavam a nacionalidade portuguesa a um “dom de colonizar o mundo”. Nesse sentido, o artigo propõe analisar o número da revista Civilização dedicado à Exposição Colonial Portuguesa de 1934 para avaliar de que forma as imagens fotográficas presentes na edição ampliaram as mensagens de propaganda colonial do regime em um momento de construção do colonialismo no Estado Novo. Essas fontes visuais não ficaram restritas àquele período e, ao serem disponibilizadas on-line atualmente, continuam a promover experiências coloniais de uma forma distinta de interação do público com a fotografia
Polymorphism of SNP g.8398A>G at prolactin gene and its effect on Indonesian Holstein dairy cow’s milk performance and reproductive traits
Authors: Setyorini Y. W. , Sutopo S. , Kurnianto E. , Sutiyono S.
Published: March 2023

The objective of this study was to identify the polymorphism of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) g.8398A>G at the prolactin gene exon 4 in Indonesian Holstein dairy cows and its effect on milk production, milk quality, and reproductive traits. A total of 140 blood samples were investigated to detect polymorphism by PCR-RFLP method using the RsaI restriction enzyme. Sequencing was per-formed for confirmation of SNP mutation points. The phenotype data collected were milk production, milk quality, and reproductive traits. Data were analyzed using a t-test. The results showed that poly-morphism of SNP g.8398A>G at prolactin gene exon 4 was found in the study populations with AG and GG genotypes. Cows with the GG genotype indicated higher total milk yield and milk protein (P<0.05) than the AG genotype. Polymorphism was not associated with specific gravity, milk fat, milk lactose, total solid non-fat, and reproductive traits. SNP g.8398A>G at prolactin gene exon 4 showed potential as a genetic marker for selecting superior milk production traits.

The effects of heating rate and sintering time on the biaxial flexural strength of monolithic zirconia ceramics
Authors: Oyar Perihan , Durkan Rukiye
Published: March 2023

The strength of zirconia ceramic materials used in restorations is dependent upon sintering. Varying sintering protocols may affect the biaxial flexural strength of zirconia materials. This in vitro study was conducted to investigate the effects of sintering parameters on the biaxial flexural strength of monolithic zirconia. Two different monoblock zirconia ceramics were used. Following coloration, samples of both types of ceramics were divided into groups according to whether or not biaxial flexural strength testing was performed directly after sintering or following thermocycling. Biaxial flexural strength data was analysed with a Shapiro Wilk normality test, followed by 1-way ANOVA, Tukey post hoc tests for inter-group comparisons, and paired samples t-tests for intra-group comparisons. A significant difference was found between the biaxial flexural strengths of Zircon X and Upcera ceramics before thermocycling (p<0.05). In both Zircon X and Upcera ceramic groups, the thermocycling process created a significant difference in the biaxial flexural strength values of the ceramic samples in Group 6 (p<0.05) which had the slowest heating rate and longest holding time. The zirconia ceramics have higher BFS at higher heating rates either before or after thermocycling. The holding time has significant effects on thermocycling and flexural strength. The zirconia achieved its optimum strength when it sintered at longer time regardless of heating rates.
The Application of Emergency Management Principles to Violent Crime Response and Urban Resilience
Authors: Taylor David W. , Wood Erik , Frazier Tim
Published: March 2023

Violent crime is on the rise in many American cities and the annual cost to police and the community increases proportionally. Violent crime scenes are similar to the calamity experienced with natural or human-made disasters. Understanding how it could have been prevented, what services were needed, and what remaining gaps still exist in services and resources is critical. The narrative can be shifted by treating violent crime like naturally occurring disasters and applying comprehensive emergency management strategies to prepare, mitigate, respond, and recover from this whole community hazard. This dynamic emergency management-based approach outlines coordination across key agencies and stakeholders, and has the potential to mitigate the impact of violent crime in major urban cities in the United States (US). Using the District of Columbia (DC) as a sample study area, this policy proposal is supported by a qualitative analyses of available data, including from the limited existing literature and from related DC agencies. Findings demonstrate how the DC Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency (DCHSEMA), can coordinate response and hold agencies accountable within its current capacity while supporting the interoperability of all related violent crime agencies involved. These findings have both national and international implications.
A comparative study for the numerical approximation of 1D and 2D hyperbolic telegraph equations with UAT and UAH tension B-spline DQM
Authors: Kapoor Mamta
Published: March 2023

Two numerical regimes for the one- and two-dimensional hyperbolic telegraph equations are contrasted in this article. The first implemented regime is uniform algebraic trigonometric tension B-spline DQM, while the second implemented regime is uniform algebraic hyperbolic tension B-spline DQM. The resulting system of ODEs is solved by the SSP RK43 method after the aforementioned equations are spatially discretized. To assess the success of chosen tactics, a comparison of errors is shown. The graphs can be seen, and it is asserted that the precise and numerical results are in agreement with one another. Analyses of convergence and stability are also given. It should be highlighted that there is a dearth of study on 1D and 2D hyperbolic telegraph equations. This aim of this study is to efficiently create results with fewer mistakes. These techniques would surely be useful for other higher-order nonlinear complex natured partial differential equations, including fractional equations, integro equations, and partial-integro equations.
Butyric acid: fermentation production using organic waste as low-cost feedstocks
Authors: Patyal Urvasha , Kumar Vikas , Singh Manoj , Kumar Amit , Sharma Anil K. , Ali Syed Fahad , Syed Sheikh Mudasir
Published: March 2023

Butyric acid is an important chemical which has many applications in the chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries. Butyraldehyde, which is derived from propylene, is now converted into butyrate by petrochemical processes known as oxo synthesis. Because of its poor productivity and low butyrate concentration in the fermentation broth, biotechnological production of butyric acid is not economically viable. Typically, a sizable amount of the overall production expenses goes toward the cost of the fermentation substrate. If the fermentation process can use minimal biomass as the feedstock, a cost-competitive production of butyric acid from the fermentation technique would be generated with a strong market prospect. Organic wastes are recommended as a source of butyric acid fermentation feedstock because they are inexpensive, can be generated in huge numbers, and are biodegradable. With a focus on the low-cost feedstock, the many uses of butyric acid are discussed, with its present production status. As a result, this paper explores several butyric acid fermentation-related problems and offers ideas for potential solutions.

Authors: Singh Vipendra Kumar , Gunasekaran Priya , Kumari Medha , Krishnan Dolly , Ramachandran Vinoth Kumar
Published: March 2023

Over the past several decades, xenobiotic chemicals have badly affected the environment including human health, ecosystem and environment. Animal-sourced biopolymers have been employed for the removal of heavy metals and organic dyes from the contaminated soil and waste waters. Animal-sourced biopolymers are biocompatible, cost-effective, eco-friendly, and sustainable in nature which make them a favorable choice for the mitigation of xenobiotic and hazardous compounds. Chitin/chitosan, collagen, gelatin, keratin, and silk fibroin-based biopolymers are the most commonly used biopolymers. This chapter reviews the current challenge faced in applying these animal-based biopolymers in eliminating/neutralizing various recalcitrant chemicals and dyes from the environment. This chapter ends with the discussion on the recent advancements and future development in the employability of these biopolymers in such environmental applications.
Francesco D’Ovidio tra Ascoli e Schuchardt: dalle reazioni etniche alla Sprachmischung
Authors: Covino Sandra
Published: March 2023

The D’Ovidio-Schuchardt correspondence (1875–1921) contains a wealth of information and evidence that goes far beyond the anecdotal dimension, shedding light not only on the scientific dialogue between the two scholars but also on trends and crucial issues in European linguistics between the 19th and 20th centuries. Starting with the cues offered by this epistolary source and through the examination of published writings (with a special focus on a relevant essay by D’Ovidio on the relics of ancient Italic dialects in Romance idioms), the present paper reconstructs the position of the two linguists on the so-called ethnic reactions. The analysis reveals the role played by Schuchardt in D’Ovidio’s gradual detachment from the theses of his former mentor, i. e. G. I. Ascoli: a sign, among the many, of the turning point that was taking shape, even in Italian Romanistics, from the one-dimensional linearity of the historical-comparative paradigm to a new conception of linguistic dynamics, more attentive to the influences and crossings of cultural currents.
When nothing does something: The proliferation and triumph of the third person plural preterite variant ending -eron in Old and Early Modern Spanish
Authors: Rini Joel
Published: March 2023

It is well known that the Spanish third person plural of -er and -ir verbs has two different preterite endings: primary -ieron, and the variant -eron, which appears after stem-final -j, e.g., dijeron, trajeron, tradujeron, etc., and that -eron arose from -ieron through absorption of the semiconsonant [j] into the Old Spanish stem-final palatal -x [ʃ], e.g., dixieron > dixeron. What is not so well known is that OSp. dixiemos, dixiestes, like dixieron > dixeron, likewise reduced to dixemos, dixestes, but unlike dixeron, did not survive. It is also to date unknown that the reduction of -ieron > -eron occurred in other grammatical categories, e.g., OSp. cogieron > cogeron, before reverting to -ieron. The present study will show when -eron first arose and became the predominant variant of the two after -x, the extent to which it arose in other grammatical categories, and will explain why vertical vocalic symmetry between OSp. dixiemos, dixiestes, dixieron, later dixemos, dixestes, dixeron, was ulimately broken, and how the loss of dixiemos/dixemos, dixiestes/dixestes on the one hand, and the triumph of dixeron on the other, are completely interconnected, ironically tied to the same historical linguistic phenomenon, and actually two sides of the same coin.
Más sobre el enigmático origen de dieron
Authors: Velázquez-Mendoza Omar
Published: March 2023

This study attributes the enigmatic diphthong -ie- in Old Spanish dieron ‘they gave’ to a second (and later) phase in the development of this form from Latin dĕdērŭnt ‘they gave’. The earlier phase, I propose, involved regular sound change, namely, lenition and vocalic fusion. Thus, dĕdērŭnt
> *de[ð]erunt > *de[Ø]eron > *deeron > *deron. I argue that one of the most (if not the single most) productive types of levelling in the history of the Spanish preterite endings, horizontal paradigmatic levelling, was at the root of the second (and final) phase of the development referred to above. The long-upheld belief that extraparadigmatic levelling and subsequent loss of internal -dē- (i.e., haplology) were the causes of the diphthong -ie- in Old Spanish dieron (i.e., Classical Latin dĕdḗrŭnt > Late/Vulgar Latin *dĕ́-dē-rŭnt > Old Spanish dieron) is challenged by the attestation of three non-haplological forms related to Latin dĕdērŭnt: deestes ‘you gave’ (< dĕdĭstĭs), deistis ‘you gave’ (< dĕdĭstĭs), and deerit ‘should s/he give’ (< dĕdĕrĭt). As these forms, which surface in the extant records of the Spanish and Portuguese High Middle Ages, retained the vowel of the second syllable, they could not have derived from haplology. Rather, given their internal vowel-to-vowel contact, i.e., -eØe- and -eØi-, respectively, they must have appeared due to lenition, i.e., loss of internal -d-: dĕdĭstĭs > deØestes, dĕdĭstĭs > deØistis, dĕdĕrĭt > deØerit. In contrast to the traditional view, then, this study proposes that, once regular sound change produced *deron in Old Spanish, stressed -ie- in dieron must have modeled itself after the diphthong of this form’s third-person singular counterpart, Old Spanish dio
. In sum, the ultimate cause of the enigmatic diphthong -ie- in Old Spanish dieron is horizontal levelling in the direction third person singular (Old Spanish dio
) → third person plural (Old Spanish *deron
> dieron), all within the paradigm of the preterite of dar ‘to give’.
Tradicionalidad discursiva y variación morfosintáctica en la prensa económica de la Ilustración española
Authors: Méndez Orense María , Carmona Yanes Elena
Published: March 2023

During the second half of the eighteenth century, the consolidation of the periodical press and the circulation of the Enlightenment ideas in Spain led to the creation of a new type of informative discourse that began to deal specifically with economic matters. The Spanish financial press combines at least two types of textual traditions. If, on the one hand, the economic issues evoke the memoirs published by arbitristas and proyectistas in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, their textual organization follows the model of the eighteenth-century periodical press. These diaries constitute a channel for the development of linguistic elaboration processes that took place in the sphere of communicative distance during the formation of early modern Spanish. We have selected two newspapers on this subject, the Semanario Económico and the Correo Mercantil de España y sus Indias, to provide new data about the morphosyntax of Spanish throughout the second half of the eighteenth century. The phenomena analyzed are: §2 the distribution of subjunctive and conditional verbal forms; §3 the pronominal enclysis; §4 the use of the passive and constructions with se; §5 the syntactic structure en + gerund and §6 the relative clauses.
La interrupción desde el eje diacrónico: análisis de dos debates legislativos sobre educación (el Decreto de Romanones de 1902 y la Ley Celaá de 2020)
Authors: Tordera Yllescas Juan Carlos , García Folgado María José
Published: March 2023

The objective of this paper is to determine the existing differences in the number and typology of conversational interruptions that have been found in two legislative debates from 1902 and 2020. To this end, a theoretical proposal will be used which assumes that the type of interruption is linked to the sociocultural context of the time (reflected, for example, in the historical press) and that the intent of the interruption is inseparable from that context. Under this theoretical perspective, two parliamentary debates are analysed which discuss the Decreto de Romanones (1902) and the Ley Celaá (2020), two educational legislative texts. Our findings show that there are more cases of interruptions in the 1902 debate than in the 2020 debate. However, the interruptions tend to be less disruptive and are usually addressed by the interlocutor (compared to the 2020 texts). Therefore, we understand that there is a greater “dialoguing” character in the 1902 debates, because “the other” is listened to.
Per l’edizione dei volgarizzamenti romanzi della Practica oculorum di Benvenuto Grafeo
Authors: Lacanale Marcella
Published: March 2023

The ophthalmic treatise Practica oculorum by Benvenuto Grassus has always attracted considerable attention, as it is shown by the numerous studies on the text and by the various editions that have appeared until recent times. The present paper aims to advance some reflections on the editorial history of the treatise and on its Romance translations. Specifically, a comparison of the four Latin incunabula and the four Romance versions of the text will highlight its role in both professional and non-professional environments during the 14th and 15th centuries.
It.lasagna‘sfoglia di pastaʼ e fr.losange‘romboʼ
Authors: Schweickard Wolfgang
Published: March 2023

According to the current state of research, the traditional etymology (i.e.lasanum‘chamber potʼ) of It.lasagna‘type of pastaʼ is obsolete. The actual basis is Ar.lawzīnaǧ‘almond confectionʼ, which satisfies all etymological requirements. Furthermore, the hypothesis of an etymological connection between It.lasagnaand Fr.losangecannot be confirmed. By reason of the early productivity of the family of Fr.losange, the late and marginal appearance of the culinary meaning, and the fact that the entire textual tradition oflosangedoes not present any affinity to the oriental world, it is evident that an Arabic origin must be ruled out. Instead, the traditional derivation from pre-Rom. *lausa‘flat stoneʼ, ‘roofing or paving stoneʼ is to be revalidated.
Prevalence and Normalization of Stress Urinary Incontinence in Female Strength Athletes
Authors: Mahoney Kaitlin , Heidel R. Eric , Olewinski Luci
Published: March 2023

Mahoney, K, Heidel, RE, and Olewinski, L. Prevalence and normalization of stress urinary incontinence in female strength athletes. J Strength Cond Res 37(9): 1877–1881, 2023—Strength training is increasing in popularity in women but is also a potential risk factor for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). There is potential for normalization of SUI in sports with high rates of SUI. Pelvic floor physical therapy is an effective treatment for SUI in both athletes and nonathletes, but female strength athletes may not be aware of this option. Our study sought to assess prevalence, normalization, rates of treatment, and preferred sources of information about SUI in female strength athletes. A novel cross-sectional survey was distributed online through social media groups dedicated to female strength athletes with 425 women responding within 4 days. Statistical significance of results was assumed at a 2-sided alpha value of 0.05. 43.5% of athletes experienced incontinence with daily tasks, 59.1% experienced incontinence with normal strength training, and 50.2% experienced incontinence during competition. Of the athletes who experienced incontinence, 61.4% did not have incontinence before starting their sport and only 9.4% had ever sought treatment. 67.9% of all athletes surveyed believed that urinary incontinence was a normal part of their sport. Our findings indicate that SUI is common in female strength athletes and may be a consequence of the sport itself. Normalization of SUI is common, and few athletes seek treatment.

Published: March 2023

Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient to oceanic microalgae, and its dissolved fraction (DFe) is retained in surface waters by Fe-binding ligands. Previous work has suggested that ligands may also bind Fe within sea ice, although supporting data are limited. This study investigates distribution, concentration, and potential drivers of Fe-binding ligands in Antarctic sea ice, considering the ice type, location and season. Results suggest that the concentration of ligands (CL) varies throughout the year, both spatially and seasonally. The lowest CL (3.3–8.0 nM) and DFe concentrations (0.7–3.5 nM) were recorded in newly formed winter sea ice in the Weddell Sea, likely due to the early stage of sea-ice growth and low biological activity. The highest CL (1.7–74.6 nM), which follows the distribution of DFe (1.0–75.5 nM), was observed during springtime, in the Eastern Antarctic Sector. There, consistently higher values for CL in bottom ice depths were likely associated with enhanced algal biomass, while aeolian deposition may have acted as an additional source of DFe and ligands near Davis station. In summer, the senescence of ice algae and advanced sea-ice melting led to intermediate CL (1.0–21.9 nM) and DFe concentrations (0.6–13.3 nM) both on and off the East Antarctic coast. Regardless of time and location, >99% of DFe was complexed, suggesting that CL controls the distribution of DFe in sea ice. This study represents a first attempt at a year-round investigation of CL in sea ice, providing results that support the premise that sea ice acts as a potential biogeochemical bridge between autumn and spring phytoplankton blooms.

The study reports feasibility to synthesis copper loaded ZnO nanoparticles using a green synthesis approach influenced by natural extracts from waste maize materials is explored. Different methods were used to investigate the physicochemical characteristics of Cu-ZnO nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) studies were used to investigate the structural behavior of Cu-ZnO nanoparticles. XRD analysis shows that Cu-ZnO has a typical crystallite size of 23.5nm and a confirmed hexagonal structure. In the wavenumber range 400–600 cm-1 , FT-IR confirmed the presence of metallic elements in Cu-ZnO samples. Through the use of UV–vis spectroscopy, we were able to investigate the optical characteristics of Cu-ZnO. The samples' surface morphology was recorded by FESEM, and their elemental content was evaluated by EDX. This verifies the spherical shape of prepared samples with homogeneous size distributions across their structures. The nanostructured redox behaviour of electroactive Cu-ZnO has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry

In this study, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were modified by means of dispersion using a γ-aminopropyl triethoxysilane coupling agent (KH550), obtaining KH550-ZnO. Then a certain amount of SBMA powder was put into the KH550-ZnO solution, and the ensuing polymerization reaction produced super hydrophilic PSBMA-KH550-ZnO powder. Finally, several polished aluminum sheets were immersed in the PSBMA-KH550-ZnO aqueous solution to start deposition. Upon completion of the deposition, the aluminum sheets were taken out and dried to obtain samples of the ZnO@PSBMA super hydrophilic coating. The structure, morphology and chemical composition of the powders and coatings were investigated by SEM, IR and EDS. The dispersion of KH550-ZnO in aqueous solution was analyzed. The results show that the particle size of KH550-ZnO decreases greatly in aqueous solution. The substrate can be superhydrophilic when deposited in PSBMA-KH550-ZnO aqueous solution for 130 minutes，After 48 hours of coating deposition, the compactness, roughness and friction resistance of the coating are greatly improved. ZnO@PSBMA superhydrophilic coating has good anti-protein, anti-bacterial and anti-algal adhesion properties.

This study focuses on modelling and optimizing a new Si nanowire solar cell containing a SiGe/Si quantum well. Quantum efficiency measurements show that the proposed structure has a higher energy absorption advantage and stronger than that of a solar cell based on a standard Si p-i-n nanowire. As a result, the insertion of 14 layers of SiGe/Si quantum well improved the short circuit current density and the efficiency by a factor of about 1.24 and 1.37, respectively. The best concentration and radius values obtained are x = 0.05 and r = 0.190 µm, respectively, with a strain of less than 1%.

Using thermal evaporation, thin films of silver-doped CdSe were synthesized on glass bases. A hexagonal structure with a preference orientation along (100) plane according to the X-ray diffraction pattern. The surface topography was determined using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). AFM detects spherical nature nanoparticles and roughness rate of the CdSe thin film decreases and the root mean square decreases with (2 and 4) % doping in silver. As the doping content increase, the optical energy bandgap decrease from 1.85 eV to 1.75 eV. Optical analysis indicates that Ag doping in CdSe results in a redshift in band edge.

The effect of Ni doping on structural, optical and electrical properties of deposited Zn1-xNixO thin films on glass substrate by spray pyrolysis technique has been studied. The main objective of this research is to study the change of the physical and optical properties of Zn1-xNixO thin films that are fabricant to semiconductor with different doping levels x. These levels are 0 at.%, 2 at.%, 4 at.%, 8 at.% and 12 at.%. The transmission spectra show that the Zn1-xNixO thin films have a good optical transparency in the visible region from 88 to 95%. The optical gap energy of the Zn1-xNixO thin films varied between 3.25 and 3.35 eV. The urbach energy varied between 65 and 230 meV. However, the Zn0.88Ni0.12O thin films have many defects with maximum value of urbach energy. The Zn0.88Ni0.12O thin films have minimum value of optical gap energy. The Zn0.88Ni0.12O thin films have maximum value of the electrical conductivity which is 9.40 (Ω.cm)-1 . The average electrical conductivity of our films is about (7.52 (Ω.cm)-1 ). XRD patterns of the Zn1- xNixO thin films indicate that films are polycrystalline with hexagonal wurtzite structure.
Turnover and replication analysis by isotope labeling (TRAIL) reveals the influence of tissue context on protein and organelle lifetimes
Authors: Hasper John , Welle Kevin , Hryhorenko Jennifer , Ghaemmaghami Sina , Buchwalter Abigail
Published: March 2023

The lifespans of proteins range from minutes to years within mammalian tissues. Protein lifespan is relevant to organismal aging, as long‐lived proteins accrue damage over time. It is unclear how protein lifetime is shaped by tissue context, where both cell turnover and proteolytic degradation contribute to protein turnover. We develop turnover and replication analysis by 15N isotope labeling (TRAIL) to quantify protein and cell lifetimes with high precision and demonstrate that cell turnover, sequence‐encoded features, and environmental factors modulate protein lifespan across tissues. Cell and protein turnover flux are comparable in proliferative tissues, while protein turnover outpaces cell turnover in slowly proliferative tissues. Physicochemical features such as hydrophobicity, charge, and disorder influence protein turnover in slowly proliferative tissues, but protein turnover is much less sequence‐selective in highly proliferative tissues. Protein lifetimes vary nonrandomly across tissues after correcting for cell turnover. Multiprotein complexes such as the ribosome have consistent lifetimes across tissues, while mitochondria, peroxisomes, and lipid droplets have variable lifetimes. TRAIL can be used to explore how environment, aging, and disease affect tissue homeostasis.
The formation of presbyters for the work with non-believers in Poland
Authors:   The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Lipiec Dariusz
Published: March 2023

The article presents the ways of preparation of priests for the work with nonbelievers. The author enumerates the dimensions of the priestly formation: human, spiritual, intellectual and pastoral. Human and spiritual formations require deepening of the presbyters’ spirituality as well as the formation of the humanistic attitude which is the basis for establishing and leading a dialogue with non-believers. The implementation of intellectual formation requires studying the contemporary philosophical currents which constitute the basis of the current cultural changes as well as of the social transformations. In the pastoral formation presbyters are to gain new pastorals skills which are adequate to the current challenges as well as deepen the skills of making proper use of the pastoral experience which they had gained.
Epistemological bases of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of Mary
Authors:   University of Bialystok, Proniewski Andrzej
Published: March 2023

The dogma of the Immaculate Conception of Virgin Mary refers to the ontological condition of God’s Son’s Mother Who was preserved from the effects of the original sin. The direct action of God incarnated into a human is not limited of the categories of the natural order and it does not exclude the possibility of the rational cognition and conceptualisation of them. The article directs into the epistemological bases of the defined truth of faith which regards Virgin Mary as to the true information which matches the criteria of the assured faith.
The concept and meaning of the family in the context of the deliberations of Blessed Father Michał Sopocko
Authors:   University of Bialystok, Kryńska Elwira Jolanta
Published: March 2023

The thematic scope of the article is related to the re-edition of the book by Fr. Michał Sopoćka, entitled – Family in legislation in the Polish Lands (Ethical and legal study), published in Vilnius in 1926. This is the published version of the doctoral dissertation on the basis of which Fr. Michał Sopoćko, received a doctorate in theology on March 1, 1926. The article does not pretend to be a comprehensive study of the issue contained in the title, it is only an attempt to draw attention to the topicality of the issue of the family raised by Fr. Sopoćko in his doctoral dissertation and the need to continue this issue in the context of legislation and ethics, and Christian morality. The reference to the family theory of Fr. Michał Sopocko – a zealous priest, theologian, social worker, servant of God, it is all the more justified that in the era of strong ideological, worldview, propaganda and ideological tendencies against the national and Christian culture, the 20th / 21st century family found itself in the face of difficult problems – there is even talk of a family crisis. Formerly hidden are coming to light: violence, harassment on various grounds, psychological torment, and even sexual violence against children, incest and crimes of infanticide. Hence, the reference to the Christian model of a family created on the basis of a humanistic approach to human existence is becoming particularly important today and – perhaps – most needed by people. It allows us to strive for the place and right of existence of the Christian vision of the world, the image of man and the Christian system of values in the public space. The more so because Fr. Michał Sopoćko, as an apostle of the truth and worship of Divine Mercy, recognized the truth about man, marriage and family on the basis of the intellectual tradition of personalism and Christian culture. Father Michał Sopoćko pointed out that without the family, its concern for education and service to life, there is no development of the nation and the Church.
Family structures on Polish soil at the end of the partitions period and in the interwar Poland. The outline of issues
Authors:   University of Bialystok, Kuklo Cezary
Published: March 2023

The article focuses on the history of the Christian family (and of the Jewish family to a lesser extent) and of the household on Polish soil since 1880s till 1939. It aims at presenting the demographic characteristics of rural families (of peasants, of petty nobility and of landowners) and urban families (of craftsmen, bourgeoisie and intelligentsia) as well as the circumstances of rising and lasting of these families. The Author of the article presents in detail such important features as: the age of the newlyweds, the length of the marriage, fertility rate and the death rate in the families. Furthermore, the Author indicates the influence of the intense economic and social transformations on Polish soil from the second half of XIX century on the role and position of each individual member of the family: the spouses, the children and the grandparents.
The functions of the spouse’s consent for the legal actions within the statutory matrimonial property regime
Authors:   University of Bialystok, Mróz Teresa
Published: March 2023

The teaching of Father Michał Sopoćko which concerns the legal regulations of marriage remains highly relevant. One of the most important basis of functioning a family is establishing the property security. The Polish legal regulations have evolved over the years, we have witnessed various structures of the statutory matrimonial property regimes. Nowadays, at the moment of contracting marriage the spouses establish the community property (matrimonial joint property) which complies a subordinate role for marriage. To strengthen the protective function of the regime it is necessary to obtain the consent of the other spouse for any statutory legal actions.
FRANCISCO DE PAULA CANALEJAS Y CASAS (1834-1883): APORTACIONES DE UN ABOGADO KRAUSISTA
Authors: PEIRO ALBA JOSÉ MIGUEL
Published: March 2023

La filosofía del derecho del krausismo es una de sus aportaciones más relevantes y, al mismo tiempo, una de las menos conocidas. En este sentido, la biografía de Francisco de Paula Canalejas, abogado y filósofo krausista, es una referencia historiográfica privilegiada debido a su participación en diversos momentos clave de la historia de España y del derecho español. Por ello, la reconstrucción de su implicación en foros jurídicos, filosóficos y políticos relevantes no sólo nos permite entender mejor su propia aportación personal y la del krausismo sino también ofrecer datos importantes para profundizar en el análisis de la sociedad española de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX.
«AMARÁS A DIOS SOBRE TODAS LAS COSAS»: SUPERSTICIÓN, IDOLATRÍA Y DISCIPLINA SOCIAL EN LOS MANUALES DE CONFESORES NOVOHISPANOS
Authors: DOUBAI SÁNCHEZ BOLIÁ
Published: March 2023

La condena de la superstición y de la idolatría fue uno de los elementos centrales de dominación cultural y religiosa en el México de los siglos XVI y XVII. En este trabajo de investigación se explora la conceptualización y la persecución de estas transgresiones a través de dos manuales de confesores novohispanos: las Advertencias para los confessores de los naturales (1600) de Fray Juan Bautista de Viseo y Luz y méthodo de confesar idólatras y destierro de idolatrías de Diego Jaimes Ricardo Villavicencio (1692). Se sostiene la trascendencia de los manuales de confesores a la hora de analizar el panorama legal y social de la época colonial, así como su significancia e integración como parte de la literatura jurídica y su valor como fuente de análisis de los sistemas de disciplina social.
RENTA BÁSICA UNIVERSAL Y RENTAS MÍNIMAS: ¿CÓMO GARANTIZAR EL DERECHO AL MÍNIMO VITAL ANTE LA CRISIS DEL EMPLEO?*
Authors: ECHEVARRÍA GARCÍA INÉS
Published: March 2023

El presente ensayo tiene como objeto analizar los mecanismos para garantizar el derecho al mínimo vital o derecho a la existencia en un contexto de crisis de la sociedad del trabajo. Las transformaciones recientes en el mercado laboral han traído consigo un cuestionamiento del empleo como eje vertebrador de la sociedad y lo han alejado de su rol histórico de instrumento para la autorrealización e inserción social. Este texto comienza abordando los fundamentos jurídicos de la universalidad de los derechos sociales, así como la idea del derecho al trabajo como una garantía de la efectividad de otros derechos fundamentales. A continuación, se analizan las limitaciones de las prestaciones sociales en España y los inconvenientes de su vinculación a requisitos de laboralidad. Por último, se explora la propuesta de la Renta Básica Universal (RBU) y las críticas sobre su viabilidad ética, prestando especial atención en sus efectos sobre el mercado de trabajo y compatibilidad con el principio de reciprocidad.
