THE EDUCATIONAL ROLE OF LIBRARIES IN THE GRECO-ROMAN CIVILIZATION AND THE FORMATION OF THE SOCIAL CHARACTER OF READING
Authors: Michailidis Dr Tasos
Published: May 2024

The paper delves into the interplay between the history of books, the evolution of libraries, and reading habits in the Greco-Roman world. It examines how literary production and reading practices were influenced by social and cultural conditions, shaping the relationship between readers and literature. By exploring book production, library institutions, and reading attitudes of that era, it becomes apparent how reading literature not only requires but also enhances linguistic, social, and cognitive skills, thus impacting overall quality of life. This historical perspective underscores the educational role of libraries as hubs for reading, fostering culture, and emphasizing the communal aspect of reading. It suggests that the notion of reading groups as interpretive communities, as we understand them today, has deep historical roots, catering to individuals' mental needs and serving societal functions within each collective.

Published: May 2024

Developing human resources and green jobs is one of the key solutions to materialize the National Green Growth Strategy for 2021-2030, vision towards 2050 in Vietnam. However, the intension and method of measuring green jobs in Vietnam are not unified, so the development of research models is still limited. Therefore, the article proposes a method to specifically identify the number of green jobs in Vietnam based on the approach of The Occupational Information Network in the USA (O*NET). Besides, the study analyzes the impact of human capital on green job growth in Vietnam in the period of 2018-2022 by using the “Generalized Least Squares” method with the data of Labor Force Survey (LFS) and Statistical Yearbook. The results indicate that human capital has a positive influence on green job growth in Vietnam. According to the findings, the article proposes some recommendations to promote green jobs in the future, contributing to the National Green Growth Strategy.

Published: May 2024

This academic essay aims to illustrate the role of school administrators in assisting teachers to undertake classroom research, as classroom research has a direct impact on students. Education must be organized with the student as the primary emphasis, allowing the learner to play a role and engage in as many teaching and learning activities as feasible. Classroom research is therefore very important, considering that classroom research must be done in conjunction with teaching and learning, as a problem-solving process, developing teaching and learning processes that actually occur in the classroom, in order to suit subject matter and student potential. As a result, school administrators are expected to promote and support research in the classroom by developing policies and action plans for classroom research, including assigning support funding and establishing a suitable environment for research. Organizing workshops, encouraging lecturers to share their knowledge, increasing morale, and dedicating time to engage as researchers in the classroom may all be deemed advantageous to the actual growth of teaching and learning. However, the author, as both a teacher and educational personnel, would like to explain the role of school administrators in supporting classroom research among teachers in order to use research results to enhance teaching and learning, which is an academic contribution to the community.

Published: May 2024

O presente estudo teve o objetivo de explorar as interações entre variáveis financeiras e de mercado de 20 fan tokens do esporte, para fornecer uma compreensão das dinâmicas de mercado que influenciam a avaliação e a percepção de valor dos ativos digitais. Utilizando dados coletados do site CoinGecko, este trabalho adotou uma metodologia quantitativa para analisar a dinâmica de mercado desses tokens, incorporando variáveis como preço (P), capitalização de mercado (CM) e fornecimento circulante (FC). Os resultados das correlações da CM com P (rho=0,54) e P30 (rho=0,46) sugerem que aumentos na capitalização de mercado estão associados a aumentos nos preços atuais e futuros. A avaliação totalmente diluída (FDV) apresentou correlações com P30 (rho=0,701) e com CM (rho=0,802) e indicam que as expectativas futuras estão alinhadas com as avaliações de mercado. A M/FDV teve correlação negativa com P30 (rho=-0,742) e FDV (rho=-0,771), sugerindo que à medida que a M/FDV diminui, existe tendência para o aumento nos preços futuros, o que pode indicar uma percepção de subvalorização do ativo. A correlação de DIFF com P30 (rho=0,586) e M/FDV (rho=-0,901) pode trazer também a percepção de subvalorização e uma expectativa de correção positiva nos preços. Além disso, a análise destacou o papel dos fan tokens como novas formas de receita para os clubes, e que introduzem complexidades financeiras e regulatórias. O estudo concluiu que, apesar dos desafios, os fan tokens representam uma evolução no conceito de fandom, com potencial para transformar o engajamento dos fãs em uma experiência mais ativa e valorizada.

Buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliare L.) is a species used for the production of forage that is characterized by its adequate adaptation to diverse environments. The aim was to evaluate the characteristics of forage and seeds from four materials and a variety of Buffel grass under rainfed conditions in the semi-dry and semi-warm weather of Zacatecas. The experiment was held in Huanusco, Zacatecas, Mexico, in a totally randomized block design with three replications. The materials were: M-42, M-45, M-66, M-S245, and the Titán variety as a control. For forage, two cuts were performed, considering the variables of plant height (PH), production of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), and in vitro digestibility of dry matter (IVDDM). Seed characteristics were determined upon physiological maturity using the variables of seed yield (SY), number of spikes per plant (Sp/plt), caryopsides per spikelet (Car/sp), and area of caryopsides (Area/Car). The data were analyzed in SAS, and the means were compared using Lsmeans. For the variable PH, M-42 stood out with an average height of 97.3 cm. In the production of DM, M-42 and M-45 surpassed Titán (p < 0.05), with yields higher than 4.4 Mg ha-1. M-42 had the greatest CP content at 7.29 %, whereas M-45 and M-S245 had the highest IVDDM concentrations at 74.5 and 74.8 %, respectively. Regarding seed characteristics, M-42 surpassed Titán, with a SY of 295 kg ha-1.

The aim of this paper was to discuss on how active participation of primary school pupils in creative art can bring sustainable development in the society. Generally, people do not see the subject “art” as an important course. They place more emphasis on other courses such as engineering, medicine, law and what have you. Art is of no value to most people in the society. Meanwhile everywhere man is, there is artistic presence. Right from the clothes we wear, the food we eat, chairs in our sitting room, the pots, plates and spoons in our kitchen, the desk, chairs and table in our schools. Our hair dos and decoration and even music from our radios and televisions are all artistic. So in order to recognize its importance and for the fact that we need these artistic values everyday of our lives we must lay more emphasis on the training of our children right from their tender age on the idea of Art Creativity. To discuss effectively on this topic, the following were looked into: Definition of creative art, Arts Creativity and the primary school child, problems of teaching and learning of arts, Arts creativity and sustainable development, Summary and conclusion were finally drawn

Smoking is prevalent in various places in Indonesia, even in designated non-smoking areas. The Government of the Republic of Indonesia has implemented various measures to reduce the number of smokers, such as mandating the inclusion of graphic health warnings on cigarette packages. The purpose of this article is to determine the influence of visual communication of smoking hazard warnings on the attitudes of smoking students at Pancasila University. This article employs the concepts of visual communication and attitude. The concept of visual communication is broken down into three dimensions: identification, information, and presentation, while the concept of attitude is also broken down into three dimensions: cognitive, affective, and conative. The paradigm used is positivism with a quantitative approach. The unit of analysis is individuals who are active smoking students at Pancasila University. The data collection technique is accidental random sampling by distributing questionnaires via social media platforms such as Instagram, Line, and WhatsApp to 96 respondents. In this article, respondents agree with identification, information, and presentation, as well as cognitive and affective dimensions. However, they disagree with the conative dimension. The results show that visual communication of smoking hazard warnings influences attitudes, with an impact of 17.2%. This condition indicates that there are still many influences on smoking beyond those examined, such as peer influence, lifestyle, psychological factors, and others. Additionally, the visual communication on cigarette packaging is ineffective in raising awareness among smokers, indicating the need for other policies.
Application of AI and ML in the Field of DevSecOps
Authors:   Asurion Insurance, VA, USA, Panda Khirod Chandra , Agrawal Shobhit
Published: May 2024

Security is a paramount concern in DevOps. The adoption of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) has increased the potential impact of even minor flaws, particularly in critical domains like healthcare and maritime applications. Existing solutions typically focus on either Static Application Security Testing (SAST) or run-time behavior analysis. This paper introduces the IaC Scan Runner, an open-source tool developed in Python for inspecting various IaC languages during application design, and LOMOS, a run-time anomaly detection tool. Both tools work together to enhance the security of DevOps processes. In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, the vulnerability of infrastructure and applications is growing due to a combination of factors. Attackers are becoming more sophisticated, leveraging improved intelligence to exploit weaknesses. At the same time, there is a lack of technical capability in many organizations to effectively secure their systems. This paper explores a dual approach to cybersecurity: static security monitoring through rule matching and the application of self-supervised machine learning. By combining these approaches, organizations can better defend against cyber threats. One area of focus is supply chain resilience and smart logistics, where the integration of these methods is particularly critical. This approach emphasizes a self-learning and self-healing approach, allowing systems to adapt and respond to new threats autonomously. Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) into DevSecOps practices is essential for improving security, efficiency, and innovation in software development and deployment. This paper delves into strategies and best practices for leveraging AI/ML within the DevSecOps framework. It discusses automated threat detection, predictive analytics for vulnerability management, and intelligent automation for continuous integration and deployment. However, this integration also presents challenges, such as data privacy, algorithm transparency, and ethical implications. The paper addresses these challenges and showcases how organizations can use AI/ML to optimize their DevSecOps pipelines, mitigate security risks, and foster continuous improvement. The adoption of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) has increased the potential impact of even minor flaws, especially in critical domains like healthcare and maritime applications. Existing solutions typically focus on either Static Application Security Testing (SAST) or run-time behavior analysis.

Authors:   USA, Bachina Bhargav
Published: May 2024

This paper delves into the concept and implementation of serverless computing, particularly focusing on Azure Functions as a platform for deploying serverless applications. It introduces the notion of a Function app, a container that amalgamates functions into a single logical unit, thereby simplifying management, deployment, and resource sharing. Serverless computing is elucidated as Function as a Service (FaaS), a paradigm where business logic is executed in the form of functions without the need for manual infrastructure management. Azure Functions enables developers to host and execute business logic seamlessly, without the concerns of provisioning infrastructure. The platform supports a multitude of programming languages, including C#, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python, offering versatility in development approaches. The paper further explores the utilization of triggers, specifically HTTP triggers, for executing code in response to HTTP requests. It highlights the development process within Visual Studio Code, facilitated by the Azure Functions extension, which allows for the comprehensive creation and deployment of projects. Additionally, the distinction between Consumption service plans and App Service Plans is examined, along with the prerequisite of linking every function app to a storage account. Deployment methodologies, both locally and through the Azure portal, are outlined, along with the capabilities for monitoring logs via the Azure portal’s Monitor section. This comprehensive overview provides insights into leveraging Azure Functions for efficient, scalable, and manageable serverless application development.

With the increasing incidence of acute pancreatitis (AP), new-onset hyperglycemia (prediabetes and diabetes) secondary to AP attracts more attention as one of chronic complications. There are numerous causes of AP, including cholelithiasis, hypertriglyceridemia, alcoholism and so forth, which are both diabetic high-risk factors. Unfortunately, it is still unknown whether the hazards of secondary glucose metabolism impairment resulting from different types of AP are equal. In addition, person suffered from pancreatitis or diabetes is with high-risk for future pancreatic cancer. Thus, identification and analyzation on factors for different types of pancreatogenic diabetes is crucial. The literature review summarizes the incidence of new hyperglycemia after different causes of APs and explores the risk factors of different pancreatic backgrounds and potential mechanisms behind them.
Productivity of the rod-shaped willow depends on varietal characteristics and frequency of biomass harvesting
Authors: Fuchylo Ya. D. , Levchuk T. A.
Published: May 2024

The problem of solid biofuel production in Ukraine based on basket willow varieties (Salix viminalis L.) is highlighted. It was established that it is impractical to grow energy plantations of varieties of this species with a rotation age of 6-8 years. It is more optimal to harvest the biomass of varieties of this willow every three years. The cultivar ``Tora'' is characterized by the highest yield of dry energetic biomass during the eight-year growing cycle – 58.05 t/ha. Cultivars Ternopilska (38.64 t/ha), Inger (36.90 t/ha) and Wilhelm (31.10 t/ha) are also characterized by high biomass yield, which indicates the expediency of their use for the creation of energy plantations in the conditions of the Right Bank Forest Steppe. Varieties of Polish selection ′Marzencinski′, ′Gigantea′ can also be considered promising for the research region. It is advisable to continue the study of the researched willow cultivars in order to clarify the periodicity of harvesting their biomass and the dynamics of yield during the entire period of existence of the plantations.
Problematic diagnosis of economic development of textile enterprises
Authors: Shikovets Catherine
Published: May 2024

The global financial crisis has shown that the old economic models for diagnosing the economic development of enterprises do not work with the necessary efficiency. Today, they have lost their relevance due to changes in economic systems and economic relations between them. Therefore, the problem of developing such models, methods and forms of assessing economic development, which would best meet the requirements of today, is acute. The paper considers the problematic diagnosis of economic development of textile enterprises. Since economic development is a system-driven development, the basis of its manageability is a systematic approach, and modern information technology, which allows quickly  modeling  of  different  options  for  development,  it  is  proposed  to  apply  the "Cybernetic concept of management in the space of boundary resources and states of the object of development” (CURSOR+) to the problematic diagnosis of the development of textile enterprises. As a result, an integrated model of system-situational development and a balanced scorecard (BSC) is proposed. The causal relationships that exist between all four indicators of the BSC are a reflection of the business strategy adopted by the enterprise. Such correlations are assessed using a correlation coefficient. To obtain a single diagnostic indicator of development, it is proposed to carry out the procedure of convolution of all correlation coefficients. The analysis of necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the extremum of the development indicator as a function of many variables allowed determining the differential levels of economic development of textile enterprises.

Purpose: The aim of this retrospective cohort study is to investigate the incidence and etiology the pattern of mandibular fractures in Northern of Jordan. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of clinical records and radiographs of patients with mandibular fractures treated during the 4-year period from January 2018 to December 2021 were retrieved and analyzed regarding age, sex, etiology anatomical site of fracture, type of fracture, type of injury, type facial injury, and treatment modality. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics software, (Version 27; IBM, NY, USA). Categorical data were presented as frequency and percentages. A Chi-Square test was performed to compare proportions. A value of p ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 295 patients had 525 between the age of 4 and 66 years of whom 112 patients with 181 mandibular fractures were analyzed. Of these, males were 90(80.36%) and females were 22(19.64%) (Male: female ratio was 4:1). Road traffic accident (RTA) was the most common cause of mandibular fractures 74(66.07%). Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) were the predominant treatment modality in 93(83.0%) patients. Conclusion: Mandibular fractures are predominant and are most common of all maxillofacial fractures. Mostly common combination fractures and involve any of the anatomic sites with simultaneous multiple sites involvement. Still the RTA is the most common cause of maxillofacial fractures in developing countries. Treatments generally vary according to fracture type, number and location, surgeon performance, and patient age.

Despite the wealth of information available in this digital age, many people do not double-check their facts, inadvertently propagating misinformation and contributing to the spread of an infodemic. The purpose of this research is to explore the ubiquitous infodemic during pandemics, with an emphasis on the COVID-19 pandemic. The report takes a cursory look at several situations in which misleading information impedes efficient risk health communication during the pandemic, as well as the implications for health professionals and risk communicators in terms of preventing the spread of the coronavirus. It investigates the infodemic that occurred in Nigeria during the COVID-19 pandemic, the factors that may have contributed to it, the impact on health risk communication, particularly in terms of ensuring that healthcare professionals deliver the necessary preventive services, cases of such false information claims, as well as understanding the problem and making recommendations that policymakers and experts can use to avoid similar situations in the future. The paper mandates traditional and new media to provide the public with accurate and evidence-based information.

Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Ghana’s policy of free senior high school education is intended to enhance lives or to gain votes in elections. Qualitative research methodology was used in this study. As a research design, the study used multiple case studies. Data for this study was also gathered through in-depth interviews with 200 respondents, who were students and parents from the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. The research was based on a purposive sample approach. Purposive sampling was used because, according to Boateng (2021), it is used to select respondents who have ideas, information, skills, and experience about the topic under investigation. Secondary data and literature from articles and reports were also used in the study to help with the data collection. This study looks into the effectiveness of Ghana’s free secondary education policy as a means of enhancing lives or means of gaining votes. The majority of respondents (50%) cited greater enrolment and general access to education as the most desired benefit. This implies that the policy has significantly increased the number of Ghanaians enrolled in secondary education. Extra perks like free meals, uniforms, and textbooks probably help make high schools more family-friendly and affordable. The data generally shows favorable effects on educational access. The most valued benefit is associated with higher enrollment rates, whereas other benefits take care of obstacles related to cost of attendance. It is interesting that voting decisions appear to be influenced by the policy. A total of 90% of respondents felt the policy affected their vote, with 50% citing a positive influence in the previous election, compared to 10% who reported no impact. These results imply that the free secondary school policy influences voters’ decisions in Ghana and is a successful educational initiative.

Published: May 2024

Introduction: Fine needle aspiration cytology of head and neck region is well-accepted as a diagnostic procedure. It is a safe, simple, rapid, cost-effective, and minimally invasive way of diagnosing inflammatory, noninflammatory and neoplastic lesions. Aim : To study the role of FNAC in diagnosing head & neck lesions in the paediatric age group.

Material and Method: This is the hospital-based study of 120 lesions of the head and neck region belonging to the age group of 0-18 years. Cytological results are interpreted and analyzed according to anatomical site and then categorized based on interpretation.

Result: Out of 120 cases 20 % cases belong to the age group 0-5yrs, 24.16% belong to 6-10yrs & 55.83% belong to the 11-18yrs age group. According to the anatomical distribution of lesions maximum cases accounting for 81.67% are lymph node lesions followed by thyroid lesions, miscellaneous, and then least salivary gland lesions which account for 2.5%. In the lymph node, thyroid, salivary gland, and miscellaneous lesions predominant lesions are respectively reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (71.42%), thyroiditis (42.85%), sialadenitis (33.34%) &epidermal cyst (40%)

Conclusion: FNAC in resource-limited settings, healthcare providers should realize the importance of FNAC as an initial screening tool for superficial lesions in paediatric population. The presumptive diagnosis after FNAC of palpable lesions in paediatric age group avoids the unnecessary definitive operative procedure. Thus, FNAC is an easy, simple, rapid, and cost-effective diagnostic procedure for paediatric age group.
