Esse estudo buscou compreender como o Ambiente de Inovação da Cadeia Produtiva do Leite se estruturou, a partir da identificação dos agentes participantes e do relacionamento entre eles. A análise se apoiou nas abordagens da Hélice Quíntupla e do Ecossistema de Inovação, que direcionam os estudos das relações estabelecidas entre os atores que promovem o desenvolvimento e a inovação nos seus ambientes. O caso estudado foi o movimento Ideas for Milk, impulsionado pela Embrapa, no qual analisou-se as práticas adotadas no seu processo de formação, buscando compreendê-lo e estabelecer o grau de aderência do projeto em relação aos dois modelos teóricos. Observou-se que o ambiente de inovação da cadeia produtiva do leite iniciou pelas ações da Embrapa, as quais aproximaram-se da abordagem do Ecossistema de Inovação, embora tal ambiente também tenha apresentado elementos do modelo de Hélices no tocante à abordagem sustentável do ambiente. Não há atuação do Governo enquanto representante dos entes federativos. Entre os diversos impactos observados nesse ambiente, houve uma mudança do mindset da Embrapa, no sentido de promover a sustentabilidade socioambiental em todas as suas ações e soluções.

الباب السادس عشر: فيما يؤثر في الهوى من الاخبار والاشعار
  تحدث المؤلف في هذا الباب عن هوى النفس الأمارة بالسوء، وكيف أن على المرء أن لا ينصاع خلف شهوات نفسه وهواه، واستفتح الباب بقول ابن عباس رضي الله عنه " الهوى إله معبود، وهو هنا كناية عن الآية الكريمة : " أفرأيت من  اتخذ الهه هواه ، ثم نقل كلام الحكماء والبلغاء في هذا الموضوع، ثم بين أسباب المشكلة ودوافعها ، واخبر ان الطريق إلى الجنة بالمكاره والطريق إلى النار باتباع الشهوات"، وهو هنا يقدم علاجا للهوى وقطعا لمادته.
  وقد ختم هذا الباب بدعاء وهو قوله: " وَنَحْنُ نَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَكْفِيَنَا دَوَاعِيَ الْهَوَى، وَيَصْرِفَ عَنَّا سُبُلَ الرَّدَى، وَيَجْعَلَ التَّوْفِيقَ قَائِدًا والعقل لنا مرشدا ان شاء الله تعالى .
حديث الإشارة الصريحة عند شعراء الغزل في العصر الأموي (حديث الإشارة السلبي/الواشي) انموذجاً
Authors: نايف زينة حميدي , حسن أرديني صالح محمد
Published: March 2024

وهي الاحاديث التي تعمل على نقل رسائل تهدم العلاقة وتحاول ازالتها نهائياً، يدينا  فتنوعت اصنافهم في الشعر الأموي وتعددت لتنوع الدور الذي تقوم به كل فئة وهم  :الواشي، والعاذل، والكاشح، الرقيب، الشامت، الكاذب، المحرّش، والعين، اللائم.
فشكّلت الإشارات السلبية / الواشي/ عند شعراء الغزل العذري ظاهرة عامة وحالة رفض مجتمعية لأية علاقات لاتتفق مع طبيعة ومعتقدات المجتمع فجاء بمثابة المنظومة الجسدية التي لم تتخلَ عن طقوسية حماها فجاءت متشعبة  فكثيراً ما كان ينتابهم الشعور بالشك بمن حولهم فيتولد بداخلهم  شعور الرقيب الذاتي أو الغيري وهذا ما دفعهم لإبتداع لغة الإشارة والحركات والغمزات وفي الوقت نفسه  تبعدهم عن شرور الوشاة، وأحياناً يضطر المحب أن يكون لين الجانب معهم حتى لا يحولوا بينه وبين من يجب لأنهم بمثابة الحصار الذي قيد هؤلاء العشاق فجعلهم في حالة شكوى وحرمان مستمر. فالرقابة ظاهرة مركزية في الشعر العذري، وشكل فني عبّر من خلاله الشاعر عن تضاده مع القسر الاجتماعي، وتنطوي الرقابة على الوشاة  كونها ظاهرة أساسية في مجتمع يخضع أفراده للرقابة.

Three-Dimensional Particle Tracing Analysis of a Rotational Magnetic Sail
Authors: Quan Ronghui , Xu Mingwei , Yao Yunjia
Published: March 2024

A magnetic sail is a propellantless propulsion system that has great potential in long-term space travel. It utilizes the interaction between the solar wind and the magnetic field generated by a high-current coil. However, the requirement of a large-sized coil with a high working current limits its practical application. To reduce the coil size while maintaining the thrust, a rotational magnetic sail is proposed and analyzed using the three-dimensional particle tracing method. The results show that the magnetic sail thrust significantly increases with the rotational speed and is influenced by plasma parameters. Moreover, the sail achieves the maximum thrust and the most stable attitude when the magnetic moment vector is perpendicular to the particle impact direction. The analysis implies that the rotational magnetic sail can shrink to about a minimum of 20% and approximately 1% of the size of a static magnetic sail in the solar wind and low Earth orbit, respectively, while maintaining the same thrust.

Published: March 2024

The article substantiates the role and place of the agrarian component in ensuring the balanced development of rural areas. Attention is focused on the fact that the sphere of agricultural management is an important component of the national economy, outlines the food security of the country and its regions. It is emphasized that the agrarian component in combination with the multifunctional system-forming component has a significant impact on ensuring the expanded reproduction of rural areas, the formation of an effective model of socio-economic and ecological development of the studied territories. It has been established that the multi-component development of the agrarian sphere is determined not only by the production of agricultural products in order to satisfy consumer needs for food products, but also contrib-utes to increasing the level of employment of rural residents, their well-being, the preservation of agrarian traditions of rural regions, and creates a comfortable living environment for villagers. It was revealed that the basic basis of the development of the agrarian sphere within rural areas is the formation of long-term growth based on the combination and interdependence of the economic, social and ecological components of ensuring the balanced development of territorial systems. In the process of research, scientific ap-proaches to the formation of a system of ensuring balanced development of the agrarian sphere and rural areas, solving problematic issues of a socio-economic and ecological nature are summarized. The study made it possible to outline one's own vision of the formation of the components of the system of balanced development of rural areas, to substantiate the importance of the agrarian component in the expanded reproduction of rural areas. Despite the positive dynamics regarding the growth of agricultural produc-tion, considered through the prism of the peculiarities of agricultural management in Transcarpathian region, the agrarian sphere of the region requires special attention, since the studied management is car-ried out in difficult conditions of the mountainous terrain with its soil, climate and weather properties, and that significantly complicates the situation -these are difficult conditions of martial law

Objetivo: Analisar a detecção de tipos específicos de HPV no rastreamento e manejo do câncer cervical.  Revisão bibliográfica: O HPV é um DNA vírus, capaz de infectar o epitélio escamoso e induzir a formação de lesões. Em sua maioria, as infecções regridem de forma espontânea, no entanto, alguns casos podem resultar em lesões precursoras, as quais, se não tratadas, aumentam o risco de câncer de colo uterino. Os tipos de HPV podem ser classificados em dois grupos, conforme o potencial carcinogênico: alto risco ou baixo risco. O HPV-16 é considerado o mais oncogênico, seguido pelo 18. Para melhorar a detecção precoce do HPV, surgiu-se o uso dos testes moleculares de DNA-HPV, capazes de identificar a presença dos tipos oncogênicos. Considerações finais: Os testes moleculares possuem maior sensibilidade e podem ser uma alternativa eficaz no acompanhamento das pacientes. Entretanto, as tentativas para diminuição dos casos de câncer de colo uterino seguem sendo um desafio para o sistema de saúde. Além disso, os subtipos 16 e 18 são os mais relacionados ao desenvolvimento desse tipo de câncer, demonstrando a importância do rastreio em pacientes sexualmente ativas.
Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome Knowledge and Attitude among Myanmar Women
Authors: Thar Chaw Hay , Hwa Lee Young , June Choe Young
Published: March 2024

The global challenge posed by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and its manifestation as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is underscored by the prevalence of 5.9 million people living with HIV in the Asia-Pacific region in 2018. Myanmar, among Asian nations, faces a particularly high burden with a prevalence of 0.7% among adults aged 15–49. Despite the disproportionate impact on at-risk populations, including injection drug users and commercial sex workers, there is a scarcity of data on public awareness of HIV/AIDS in Myanmar. This study utilizes the 2015–2016 Myanmar Demographic Health Survey to assess the impact of socioeconomic factors on the knowledge and attitudes of women toward HIV/AIDS. The analysis encompasses 12,885 respondents, revealing that while 91.6% were aware of AIDS, <60% possessed accurate knowledge of HIV transmission. The study identifies significant variations in knowledge and attitudes based on age, region, residence type, education, wealth index, and media exposure. Notably, younger women aged 15–19 exhibited the lowest HIV/AIDS knowledge scores. Wealth and education emerged as key determinants influencing both knowledge and attitudes. The findings emphasize the need for tailored public health interventions to address the knowledge gap among women in different settings in Myanmar. However, it is crucial to acknowledge the temporal limitation of the study, as the data were collected in 2015–2016. Caution is advised in generalizing the results to the present day, emphasizing the necessity for ongoing research to capture the evolving landscape of HIV/AIDS awareness. This study contributes valuable insights that can inform targeted interventions, promoting awareness and prevention strategies in Myanmar’s dynamic public health context.

This study explores the use of Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels plant aqueous leaf extract as a reducing agent, which enables the green synthesis and comprehensive characterization of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The results indicated that the synthesized AgNPs were spherical in shape with an average size of 27.5 nm and a silver content of approximately 43.18%. The AgNPs exhibited promising antidiabetic and wound-healing properties. The antidiabetic activity, measured through glucose uptake and α-amylase inhibition assays, showed values of 80.08% and 83.91%, respectively. Additionally, the cytotoxicity assessment revealed that the AgNPs exhibited good biocompatibility even at higher doses, indicating their lower toxicity profile. Furthermore, the AgNPs demonstrated wound-closure percentages of 27.59% and 92.48% at 12 h and 24 h respectively, post-treatment, indicating that they were as effective as that of the standard ascorbic acid. These findings suggest that Syzygium cumini-mediated AgNPs have significant potential for applications in antidiabetic and wound-healing treatments.

Coronary artery dominance describes the source from which the Posterior Descending Artery (PDA) is arising that supplies the inferior wall. 80-85% of the times it is Right Coronary Artery (RCA) referring to right dominance, 7-13% of the times it is Left Circumflex artery (LCx) referring to left dominance and about 2-5% of the times it is originating from both the RCA and LCx making a codominant supply. A super dominant vessel is when a vessel is exceptionally huge supplying the area that the other vessel usually covers which makes cardiac circulation rely on one vessel. Here we present a rare case of absent RCA with super dominant LCx supplying the RCA territory diagnosed through Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA). As invasive coronary angiography may not always provide sufficient information in such cases, CCTA is considered as a robust, reliable and non-invasive modality of imaging to investigate so as to avoid an ischemic insult.

Dogs– scalds are a significant concern in veterinary practice. The causes can vary with common sources including hot water, boiling liquids, heated surfaces, and household accidents. Factors such as age, breed, and environment may influence the likelihood of scald injuries in dogs. Human negligence can contribute to the occurrence of scald injuries therefore pet owners should be educated about potential hazards in the household to ensure a safe environment and provide proper supervision and significantly reduce the risk of scald injuries. Thermal burns cause a spectrum of injuries, ranging from superficial to deep, leading to local damage and potential systemic effects based on the severity. It is imperative that owners understand importance of the early pet evaluation by professionals, or to provide first aid. Accurate clinical estimation is crucial for effective treatment and prognosis. Throughout history, the calculation of the affected body surface area of the animal was based on different methods in human medicine. Recent studies showed this method as inaccurate and new calculations were proposed. Because of the wide diversity, a completely accurate method is not established in veterinary medicine yet. Although standard treatment of burns is not established in veterinary medicine, the administration of analgesics, antibiotics, and fluid therapy is frequently recommended as essential. To stimulate wound healing and prevent excessive pain, wound moisturize is recommended as a part of treatment. We report the assessment and treatment of four days old third-degree thermal burn injury in an adult Pekingese dog.

Hyper IgM syndromes are a group of disorders characterized by defective T and B cell interactions resulting in the lack of Immunoglobulin class switching. The most common hyper IgM syndrome is CD40 ligand (CD40L) deficiency. Patients with CD40L deficiency present with recurrent infection, neutropenia, and autoimmunity. These patients typically have absent serum IgA and IgG due to the class switch defect. Here we present a case of CD40L deficiency who presented with oral ulcers, failure to thrive, and recurrent fever. His laboratory evaluation was notable for intermittent neutropenia, elevated IgM (397mg/dl), normal IgA (78mg/dl) and low IgG (51mg/dl). Antibody responses to tetanus and measles were undetectable despite full vaccination. Whole exome sequencing showed a likely pathologic variant in CD40LG (c.674 T>C, p.L225S). This case highlights the importance of considering the diagnosis of hyper IgM syndrome in the appropriate clinical setting, even if the patient has a normal serum IgA level.

In athletes with spinal cord injuries, due to relying on upper limbs and activities such as driving a wheelchair and repeating specific movement patterns, significant structural changes occur in their upper limbs. Those changes lead to muscle imbalance and disorders in the shoulder girdle and upper limb. Investigation of the relationship between forward head angle, round shoulder, and kyphosis with physical capabilities (power, range of motion, wheelchair propulsion and sitting balance) in wheelchair athletes. 15 male and 13 female wheelchair athletes with Spinal cord injury (age 27.64±7.24) in basketball, pétanque and table tennis were selected. The sagittal view photogrammetry method was used to measure the forward head angle and round shoulder angle. A flexible ruler was used to measure the thoracic kyphosis angle. Additionally, a medicine ball throw to measure power, a goniometer to estimate the range of motion, a 20-meter propulsion test to measure propulsion speed, and a sitting balance test to measure balance were used. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression were applied to analyse the data at the 0.05 significance level. There was only a significant relationship between the round shoulder with the balance in three directions and throwing the ball. However, in other variables, there is no significant relationship with static alignment. Despite the slight difference in the investigated indicators in this study, it is important from a clinical point of view. For coaches, including the necessary preventive and corrective measures in athlete’s training programs is better.
Corporate ESG Information Disclosures
Authors: Morozova E. V.
Published: March 2024

the purpose of the study was to assess the compliance of modern ESG reporting with the expectations formulated in the UN Global Compact (UNGC) report “Who Cares Wins”, and its subject is corporate ESG information as an element of improving the functioning of financial markets and society as a whole. The work used such general scientific research methods as analysis, abstraction, generalization, induction, and analogy. The author shows that despite the quantitative growth of ESG reports and the development of guidelines for the disclosure of ESG information, there are still difficulties and challenges in measuring the effectiveness of E&S activities and corporate ESG sustainability, and the interest in establishing and defining the connection between ESG and financial indicators continues; the concept of materiality in ESG reporting is characterized by a different and uneven ranking of priorities of ESG activities, as well as the distinction between financially material and financially non-material sustainability issues; currently, increasing the disclosure of corporate ESG information does not improve public confidence in sustainability efforts and results. In the course of the work, a review of publications on the measurement and disclosure of corporate ESG indicators was carried out. the conclusions drawn indicate that modern ESG reporting has partially overcome the shortcomings formulated in the UN Global Compact “Who Cares Wins”. Progress has been made in standardizing, measuring, disclosing, and publishing ESG information, but it is still considered to lack consistency and reliability. Moreover, it does not make a convincing case for its impact on company value. the results of the study — an analysis of the concept of strengthening the sustainability of financial markets and the role of ESG reporting — can be useful in theoretical research in the field of non-financial reporting.
Accounting for complementary currency transactions (the case for France)
Authors: Shiryaeva L. A.
Published: March 2024

The purpose of the study was to analyze the complementary currencies projects (СС-projects) implemented in France during the last decades. The active promotion of those projects in various countries has highlighted the problem of accounting and tax accounting for transactions of the currencies supplementing the national ones as a means of payment. There were questions about how to reflect and record such payments in invoices; whether it is necessary to purchase additional software for the cash register, etc. The author of the article proved that the use of complementary currencies does not significantly affect the billing and cash accounting, as well as the collection of commercial taxes, since the sales are always recorded in the national currency and in the same currency are transferred to accounting for further documentation (in this case, in euros). The tax reporting within the CC-projects is identical to the standard formalized one, however, the payment terms contained in it include an additional payment method. the methodological basis of the study was a system- functional approach and comparativistics. the results of the work have revealed the specifics and key problems of forming a legislative framework for innovative projects aimed at introducing new effective payment instruments into the sphere of commodity- money relations at the regional and local levels, and may be of interest to economists and representatives or specialists of taxation and financial services of Russia.
Dawn King’in Foxfinder ve Beth Steel’in Ditch Oyunlarında Ekodistopik İzlekler
Authors: Yaşar Elif Esra Büşra , Aygan Tuğba
Published: March 2024

Son birkaç on yılda dünya, küresel ısınma, buzulların erimesi, ormansızlaşma ve su kaynaklarının azalması gibi bir dizi küresel soruna tanıklık etmiştir. Gezegeni ve ekosistemleri yok olma tehdidiyle karşı karşıya bırakan çevresel felaketler karşısında yazarlar, yakın geleceğe ilişkin kaygılarla şekillenen eserler kaleme alırken karanlık öngörüleri en iyi yansıtan distopya yazınına yönlenirler. Distopya yazını ve çevreci edebiyatın kesişim noktasında, önleyici adımlar atılmadığı takdirde mevcut durumun ne tür felaketlere evrileceğine işaret eden ekodistopya bir alt tür olarak ortaya çıkar. Her ne kadar ilk örnekleri roman türünde verilse de zamanla tiyatro da çevresel felaket öngörülerine yer vererek ekodistopyalara kapı aralar. Bu çalışma, çağdaş İngiliz tiyatro eserinde ekodistopyanın yansımalarının izini sürmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu doğrultuda, ilk bölümünde ekodistopya türünün teorik bir çerçevesi sunulmakta ve türün anlatı ve tematik özellikleri ışığında ekoloji, distopya ve tiyatro ilişkisi tartışılmaktadır. İkinci bölümde ise çevresel çöküşün hâkim olduğu bir gelecek öngörüsü barındıran, hükümetin tilki paranoyası yaydığı bir İngiltere’de geçen Dawn King’in Foxfinder (2011) ve yine çevresel bir felaket sonrasında izbe bir karakolda yaşamlarını sürdürmeye çalışan altı karakterin öyküsünü anlatan Beth Steel’in Ditch (2010) oyunlarında ekodistopik izlekler irdelenmektedir.
Speaking with the Dead: New Historicism, Its Roots and Development as an Epoch-making Approach
Authors: Sayar Özlem
Published: March 2024

This paper aims to examine the status, roots and development of New Historicism as an epoch-making approach in the context of critical analysis. After Stephen Greenblatt coined the term “New Historicism,” Louis Montrose and Greenblatt improved the theory and applied it in different studies, thus contributing to the area. Afterwards, Catherine Gallagher and Greenblatt edited Practicing New Historicism as a guidebook to New Historicists, and through their studies, various critics contributed to the embodiment of this theory in the critical environment. Alternative to Historicism, New Historicism as a theory provides unconventional ways for the analysis of historical processes from different angles. This theory allows multiple perspectives in historiography, thus featuring the experiences, struggles and contributions of the minorities, the weak, the suppressed, or the invisible social groups in history. Thereby, it aims to create a more comprehensive understanding by evaluating the historical background from the eyes of different social units. New Historicism also claims that historical events are to be considered within their social, cultural, environmental and economic context, which provides a new and unconventional method of criticism. Therefore, this paper analyses New Historicism as an epochal approach with the analysis of its roots, arguments, challenges, and techniques, in addition to its relation to various theories such as Marxism, Foucauldian theory, Thick Description, Deconstruction, Historicism, and Cultural Materialism.

Authors: Ömeroğlu Ali Ferhat
Published: March 2024

Bu çalışmada ortaokul Türkçe ders kitaplarında yer alan şiir türündeki metinlerin içerdiği kök değerleri tespit etmek amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın veri setini 2023-2024 eğitim-öğretim yılında okutulan ortaokul Türkçe ders kitapları oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmanın verileri, doküman incelemesi yöntemiyle elde edilmiştir. Araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan “Kök Değerleri Belirleme Formu” kullanılarak çalışma kapsamında yer alan şiirler incelenmiştir. Verileri çözümlemek ve yorumlamak için tümdengelimsel içerik analizi kullanılmıştır. Tüm sınıf seviyelerindeki kitaplar incelendiğinde şiirlerde en sık işlenen kök değerin sevgi olduğu, en az işlenen kök değerin ise dürüstlük olduğu görülmüştür. 5. sınıf ders kitabında kök değerlerin her birine uygun şiirlerle karşılaşılırken 6. sınıf ders kitabındaki şiirlerde dürüstlük ve sabır; 7. sınıf ders kitabındaki şiirlerde dürüstlük, sabır ve saygı; 8. sınıf ders kitabındaki şiirlerde ise dürüstlük olmak üzere bu kök değerlere rastlanmamıştır. Sonuç olarak ortaokul Türkçe ders kitaplarında yer alan şiirlerde sevgi kök değeri dışındaki diğer kök değerlerin sınıf düzeylerine dengeli bir şekilde dağılmadığı görülmüştür. Tüm kök değerlere uygun iletileri içeren şiirlerin seçimine dikkat edilerek değerler eğitimi açısından Türkçe ders kitaplarının niteliği artırılabilir.

Published: March 2024

Se presenta un estudio de caso con resultados de una práctica de fomento a la lectura por placer en un grupo de mujeres que habitan en la periferia, fundamentada en la teoría de consumo cultural. El objetivo fue incentivar el diálogo intergeneracional en torno a los mitos del amor romántico, los roles de género y la feminidad, por medio de textos literarios escritos por mujeres. Los principales resultados mostraron que la literatura es una herramienta idónea para propiciar reflexiones en cuanto a temas como violencia, discriminación, abuso o feminicidio; a la par se incrementa la lectura por placer. Se concluye que los textos literarios son herramientas detonadoras de reflexiones en torno a temáticas de género y que la creación de talleres en áreas periféricas de las urbes puede incrementar el gusto por la lectura.
Telework as a dynamic capability of firms: A qualitative research and narratives
Authors: Yorulmaz Halil , Baykal Elif
Published: March 2024

Unexpected and negative factors such as pandemics, crises, etc. have a profound effect on business environment and entail a paradigm shift in the classical concept of work schedule. The paper aims to explore the phenomenon of telework as a dynamic capability of firms to ensure business continuity in the face of all kinds of unpredictable events and delves into the factors behind telework applications that contribute to increasing the resilience of SMEs to chaotic business shifts. Dynamic capabilities theory constitutes the methodological basis of the study. For the purpose of the research, the qualitative method was used, which has a detailed and exploratory approach with inductive questions and enables a holistic picture of the phenomenon under investigation to be revealed. The multi-site case study design was preferred, and the data collected were analysed using content analysis. In July–August 2022, 13 semi-structured interviews were conducted with the owners, top and mid-level managers of SMEs operating in the service sector in Turkey. MAXQDA 2020 programme was used to analyse the data obtained. As a result of the research, the structure of the telework theme consisting of three dimensions (technological infrastructure, culture, and work attributes) and ten sub-dimensions (working order, trust, implementation history, business strategy, etc.) was discovered. For telework to be carried out healthily, firms should establish working order, work to be done, time spent by employees in front of the computer, etc., be more flexible and receptive to changes in work practices, create an appropriate culture and establish manager-employee trust.
