Gamifying Good Deeds: User Experience, Agency, and Values in Play During a Descriptathon
Authors: Oppegaard Brett , Rabby Michael K.
Published: January 2023

Purpose: This study compares value expressions of intervention designers and participants in a hackathon-like event to research relationships between values and gamification techniques. Our research identifies and analyzes value expressions during a large-scale intervention at
national parks for social inclusion of people who are blind or have low vision. Researchers and organizations can use our model to create common- ground opportunities within values-sensitive gamified designs.
 Method: We collected qualitative and quantitative data via multiple
methods and from different perspectives to strengthen validity and better determine what stakeholders wanted from the gamified experience. For methods—a pre-survey, a list of intervention activities, and a post-survey—we analyzed discourse and coded for values; then we compared
data across sets to evaluate values and their alignment/misalignment among intervention designers and participants.
 Results: Without clear and focused attention to values, designers and participants can experience underlying, unintended, and unnecessary friction.

Conclusion: Of the many ways to conceptualize and perform a socially just intervention, this research illustrates the worth of explicitly identifying values on the front end of the design intervention process and actively designing those values into the organizational aspects of the intervention.
A design model like ours serves as a subtextual glue to keep people working together. The model also undergirds these complementary value systems, as they interact and combine to contribute to a cause.
Exploring Localized Usability Implementation in mHealth App Design for Healthcare Practitioners in the Global South Context: A Case Study
Authors: Acharya Keshab Raj
Published: January 2023

Purpose: This study was designed to better understand how mobile health applications (mHealth apps) designed in the Global North (GN) are perceived as usable, empowering, and persuasive by users, particularly healthcare practitioners, in the context of a Global South (GS) country.

Method: This article employed an online survey of users of a mHealth app that was designed and developed in the GN for global use. Survey participants included healthcare practitioners from a GS country and the survey was administered by snowball sampling method.
 Results:
Eighty-three survey responses from healthcare practitioners in Nepal were coded into three broad categories: user experience and mHealth apps, localized usability and mHealth apps, and persuasive design and mHealth apps. Their relationships and connections are examined within these categories.

Conclusion: From a user empowerment perspective, understanding the interest, motivation, and concerns of end-users is vital to the development and implementation of mHealth apps, especially in the low- and middle-income healthcare contexts in which healthcare practitioners have limited
resources. Culturally sustaining localized UX approaches should be adopted to create usable, empowering, and persuasive mHealth apps for use in resource-constrained cultural settings in the GS.
Establishment of Local Fish Farm “La’ Prestige Agro” LLC in Nigeria
Authors: Gbolahan Oyeranmi Samson
Published: January 2023

This project aims to create a unique and most efficient large-scale farming of freshwater fish for daily consumption in Nigeria. According to the CGIAR African Fish Research Program 2019. Nigeria has one of the highest levels of fish consumption in Africa. In Nigeria, Africa's most populous country, fish is an important part of the household diet. Fish makes up about 40% of the protein consumed in the country, with fish consumption at 13.3 kg per person per year [17]. According 2021 Fish Information and Services report, Nigeria spends 250 billion naira approximately (US$560 million) annually on fish importation [6, 7]. The mainly import fish from Japan, Norway, Russia, United States and Netherlands. Nigerian’s population fish demand is approximately 3.3 million metric tons but the country is only able to produce 1.1 million metric tons locally. With a report on this study and as a Nigerian citizen who has lived in Nigeria and has a family living there, with current updates on the Nigerian fish market and its economic status. It is estimated that Nigeria lacks 60 percent of the fish production capacity equivalent to the country's fish consumption needs. Thus, investing in fish production in Nigeria is profitable and comes with the least investment risk of bankruptcy as consumers are always available to buy once you have a successful production [8, 9]. Thus, our company has enough market space and high demand for fish to succeed in the Nigerian fish market. This will allow our company to earn enough profit to repay the investment loan and interest on it within the agreed time frame agreed with our investors.
“We have an Ondas Award and a lot of anxiety”: Engagement strategies and parasociality of the Estirando el chicle podcast
Authors: Caro Castaño Lucía , Gallardo Hurtado Lourdes
Published: January 2023

The Estirando el chicle [Stretching the chewing gum] audiovisual podcast is analyzed as a success story that focuses on the connection between the program and its social audiences to determine whether elements of parasociality exist. The case study method is used, with a mixed design that combines discourse analysis and content analysis to understand: 1) the discursive strategies used by the creators, searching for a co-orientation effect with their audience, and 2) whether fandom expresses the existence of parasociality on Youtube. The results show that the hosts use five strategies to be perceived as authentic and to connect with their audience: self-revelation, the “behind-the-scenes” narrative subgenre, visibility of mental health issues, rejection of the aspirational discourse of influencers, and the simulation of interaction. As regards signs of parasociality among the fandom, it is found that 63.8% of comments address the hosts with familiarity, 14.4% of the texts express affectivity belonging to the primary group, and the gratifications from the podcast obtained are entertainment (46.5%), the sense of belonging to the community (18.9%), self-expression (11%), identification (4.7%), and an improvement in some aspect of their life (4.7%).

La introducción de la llamada «perspectiva de género» y de las pedagogías feministas es en la actualidad una necesidad ineludible para poder dar respuesta a los retos sociales con respecto a la igualdad de género.
Numerosas investigaciones muestran evidencias sobre las relaciones de poder de género que ya se perciben desde la educación primaria a través de diversas manifestaciones, como, por ejemplo, la territorialización o la segmentación del espacio como resultado del poder de unos sujetos sobre otros; las preferencias de juego y de relación; las actitudes estereotipadas de género, identidad y expresión de género y los estereotipos de género sexualizados; los logros académicos dispares en función del género, o incluso el acoso sexista entre iguales o el acoso escolar LGBTIQ-fóbico. Estas injusticias contribuyen a favorecer que el alumnado experimente malestares que impactan negativamente en las experiencias y en las trayectorias educativas.

Published: January 2023

This Community Service aims to socialize and provide an understanding of yariah economic literacy from an early age to Arrahmani Tahfidzul Qur'an students. Islamic economics is a system that requires the control of property to the public in accordance with the principles of justice. This is done to avoid hoarding excessive and stagnant assets so that they do not flow into the economy which results in reduced sectoral productivity which results in stalled economic acceleration. However, in practice there are still many people who do not understand the principles of Islamic economics. This is due to the lack or limited public knowledge of current Islamic economic literacy. For this reason, it is important to carry out socialization to increase literacy among Muslims, especially millennials. The method used in this service is to socialize face to face to students at the Tahfidzul Qur'an Arrahmani Foundation. The team from the UNPAM Islamic Economics Study Program successfully conducted socialization of Islamic economics to aliyah students of the Tahfidzul Qur'an Arrahmani Foundation.
Income Analysis of Farmers Using Rice Transplanter Technology as an Innovation for Rice Planting to Supporting Sustainabilty Agriculture
Authors: Azis Dina Aprianty , Irmayani Irmayani , Bakhtiar Muh Ikbal Putera
Published: January 2023

Sidrap Regency is one of the food barns in South Sulawesi, which can supply the rice needs of the surrounding area. Thus, efforts are made to introduce technology and innovation in their agricultural cultivation business so that farmers can increase their income with their legalized rice cultivation business. The puIDRose of this study was to find out how much rice farming income was earned by farmers when introducing Rica transplanter technology in their farming. This research is a quantitative descriptive study with variables that determine income analysis in the form of total production and costs used. The results showed that the rice planter system with the Rice Transplanter machine is still not widely used by farmers because the application of technology in the agricultural sector is also not something easy, one of which is because farmers' habits and understanding of technology are still lacking, besides that agricultural activities are also a source of livelihood for farmers so that farmers do not readily change old habits that have been adopted so far. The results showed that the income earned by farmers while adopting the Rice Transplanter technology was IDR 37,295,100, which indicates that there was no significant increase in Rice Transplanter innovation. This is because some farmers do not understand more deeply about the maximum use of this technology, so they still mix conventional uses.
Inflation Rate and Poverty Incidence Nexus in Nigeria: Does Lending Rate Moderates The Effect
Authors: Isiaka, Najeem Isiaka, Najeem , Olaniyi Olayiwola,  Habeeb
Published: January 2023

Poverty incidence is quite high in developing countries, according to the latest data. However, the element that contributes to and mitigates remains a mystery and a source of disagreement in the literature. As a result, the study re-examined the relationship between Nigeria's inflation rate and poverty incidence. It also established the role of borrowing costs in the relationship between inflation and poverty incidence in Nigeria. The analysis spans 40 years, from 1981 to 2020, and secondary data on poverty, inflation, lending, money supply growth, and taxation were culled from World Bank Development Indicators and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin, 2020 edition. The study used multiple linear regression and an interactive model to achieve the stated objectives. It was revealed that the inflation rate positively correlates with Nigeria's poverty incidence. Also, it was further revealed that the lending rate substantially moderates the inflation rate's positive effect on Nigeria's poverty rate. Therefore, it was concluded that the lending rate is sufficient to change the adverse impact of inflation on the poverty rate within the study under review.  The study recommends that government ensure that inflation is kept at bearable digits while monetary authorities should review upward lending rates to discourage excessive borrowing without productivity.
Allergic rhinitis - effective treatment according to the most resent recommendations
Authors: Arcimowicz Magdalena
Published: January 2023

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common chronic respiratory disease, that affects millions of individuals, has significant impact on their quality of life, productivity, and other existing conditions, including asthma and conjunctivitis. Despite a substantial burden on individuals, society and health economies, AR remains under-diagnosed, under-estimated and under-treated. Main symptoms defining this IgE-dependent inflammation of nasal mucosa are: sneezing, itchy nose, rhinorrhoea and nasal congestion. Real-world data obtained by mobile technology offer new insights into AR phenotypes and therapy. Clinical management aims to relieve or control symptoms, resolve allergic inflammation, and potentially induce allergen tolerance, using allergen immunotherapy. Most cases of AR respond rather satisfied to pharmacotherapy. A very useful tool, especially recommended for everyday clinical practice, is VAS (visual analogue scale) which can help with: to assessing the intensity of AR symptoms as well as choosing the most optimal therapeutic option. Pharmacological treatment of the condition should be safe; effective and easy to administer as we treat patients with chronic condition, sometimes for a long time. Most frequently used treatment of AR include oral, intranasal or ocular antihistamines, intranasal corticosteroids or combined intranasal antihistamines and corticosteroids. Based on real-life clinical experience it can be concluded that a fixed combination of intranasal corticosteroid and intranasal antihistamines (mainly MP-AzeFlu) may be considered to be most beneficial, particularly in monotherapy and AR resistant to previous treatment. Some AR patients are not satisfied with provided treatment results when the disease becomes only partially controlled. We still have unmet patients needs and we are still looking for better therapeutic options in this area. New initiatives such as EUFOREA are developed in parallel with existing ones, such as ARIA to integrate patients and healthcare professionals in the therapeutic process and create new recommendations that are closest to the idea of precision medicine, delivering the right treatment to the right patient at the right time.
Przyrodnicze i społeczne aspekty wandalizmu podpaleń drzew pomnikowych

Published: January 2023

The article analyses cases of arson attacks on trees – natural monuments in Poland in terms of their social and natural losses over a period of almost 100 years (1925-2021), with the incidents recorded mainly in the second decade of the 21st century. The loss in the natural aspect is related to the species structure of the trees set on fire (only deciduous species), age (the reported minimum age was about 300 years), dimensions (the reported circumference range was from about 460 cm to about 1050 cm) and biocenotic value (hollows, decay, habitat for protected animal species). Some of the trees set on fire were exceptional in respect of nature terms on a national or even international scale (the Chrobry Oak, the Mieszko I Oak and the Napoleon Oak). The loss, in social aspect, results from the loss in the value of the monumental trees in terms of tourism and recreation, history, culture, emotions and education. However, the analysed websites lacked references to the undoubted value of these trees in the scientific aspect. The presented problem of arson attacks on monumental trees and the resulting considerable natural and social losses requires that legal and organisational steps be taken as soon as possible in order to reduce or eliminate the discussed threat in the future.

Authors: Binaś Adrianna
Published: January 2023

Objective: The aim of the study is to present extraordinary solutions in the field of social security, adopted by states - parties to the European Code of Social Security (EKZS) in the event of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as their verification in relation to the represented model of social policy and ETUC standards Materials and methods: To achieve the aim of the work, research methods based on inductive reasoning were used, related to the research of the literature on the subject, reports of countries on the implementation of the European Code of Social Security for the period from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020, as well as searching internet resources. Based on the information contained in the analyzed sources, secondary research was carried out, including an in-depth analysis of activities undertaken in Sweden, Great Britain and Belgium. Spain and Estonia in relation to four main areas of support, i.e., health care system, job protection and financial relief for employers, support for small and medium-sized enterprises and social transfers.Results: The generally accepted policies and strategies of countries in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic were consistent with the represented model of social policy. However, in many cases, specific, detailed actions by states deviated from this model. In terms of sickness, unemployment and old age benefits, the states introduced higher standards than those set by the Code. On the other hand, the regulations were not properly applied to medical care, as delays in planned procedures and operations for patients with other diseases were noted due to the treatment of people infected with COVID-19.

Published: January 2023

Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) is one of the most valuable pulse crops grown in India. Mungbean suffers from several diseases with substantial losses in yields. Among the diseases, mungbean leaf spot disease is the most destructive which is caused by Cercospora canacens and cause heavy loss (0-61%) in yield in Indian subcontinent and adjacent areas of South-East Asia. An experiment was conducted to find out the enzymatic response of various genotypes of mungbean against Cercospora leaf spot. The level of antioxidant enzyme SOD, peroxidase and catalase increase in both susceptible and resistance cultivar, but in resistance cultivar the level these enzymes increases very rapidly as compare to susceptible cultivar. Based on the various observations, it can be interprets that in resistant cultivar, the higher level of ROS produced after inoculation is minimized up to optimum level by the action of these enzymes SOD, peroxidase and catalase, but not in susceptible cultivar. Plants show resistance or susceptibility for disease is due to the activity of SOD, peroxidase, and catalase. In F2 generation plants show segregation pattern in the ratio of 1:2:1 which depicts that the gene governing the enzyme activities are partial dominant in nature.

The study was performed with the objective to study socio-economic impact of agroforestry on farmers in Ludhiana (Punjab), India. Two types of respondents were selected, viz. agroforestry adopters and non-agroforestry adopters from the Ludhiana district (52 agroforestry adopters and 52 non-agroforestry adopters) were selected for the purpose of the study. The social and economic profile of the farmers was evaluated by asking them to fill a questionnaire and personal interviews. The impacts of socio-economic factors were assessed adopting standard methodology. Results pertaining to adoption of agroforestry revealed that majority of adopters were a graduate (48.08%) and most of them had mass media exposure (82.69%). Among agroforestry adopters, the operational land holdings were also large (36.53%). The other social factors like family type, extension contacts, residential area, livestock and presence of physical assets also reported differences among agroforestry adopters and non-adopters. The economic status of farmers revealed that poplar based system was more economical than pure cropping system during 2012-2017 (when the price was rs. 450/q or above) except 2016 when high fluctuation in the price of poplar was reported. Annuity value and benefit cost ratio (BCR) of agroforestry system were calculated to be higher than pure cropping system. During the year 2017, the BCR of agroforestry system was 4.32, whereas it was 3.31 for pure cropping system.

Studies were carried out in the Division of Floriculture and Landscaping, ICAR-IARI New Delhi during 2016-17 to standardize the glycerine preservation technology for foliage of silver oak, cordyline, asparagus and fern under laboratory conditions. The foliage was subjected for glycerinization by immersing and uptake methods with different combinations of glycerine and water. Observations were made for moisture loss (%), time taken for drying and sensory parameters like texture, shape retention, brittleness, overall acceptance of the cut foliages etc. and were subjected to analysis of variance. In case of silver oak treating the foliage with 1:3 ratio of glycerine and water found better for minimum moisture loss (%) while 1:2 ratio of glycerine and water was suitable for minimum days taken for drying in both the methods i.e. full dip and uptake and for most the qualitative parameters 1:3 ratio of glycerine and water were recorded better score in silver oak. For asparagus 1:3 ratio of glycerine and water with full dip method found most suitable for quantitative and the qualitative parameters were also found best in 1:3 ratio of glycerine and water but in both the methods i.e. full dip and uptake. In case of cordyline 1:3 ratio of glycerine and water found suitable for minimum moisture loss (%) and uptake method with1:3 ratio of glycerine and water recorded minimum days taken for drying. Sensory parameters revealed similar finding as quantitative parameters. Treating the foliage of fern in 1:3 ratio of glycerine and water with full dip method were found better for quantitative parameters studied as well as for most of the qualitative parameters also.
An Examination of Postmodernism in Sculptural Practices in Some Nigerian Art Schools
Authors: Kalilu Razaq Olatunde Rom , Oladugbagbe Allan Francis Ebunola
Published: January 2023

Postmodernism, a Western artistic concept, affects sculptural practices in Nigerian art schools. Sculptures are consequently getting extremely subjective as students use postmodernism to avoid learning classical sculptural principles. Therefore, this study examined postmodernism in sculpture in Nigerian art schools with a view to finding ways by which postmodernism can be incorporated into practice in Nigerian art schools. The study used data collected through field research at three art schools between 2010 and 2021. Nine (10%) out of 89 postmodern sculptures observed in the three art schools were randomly selected for formal analysis. The findings indicate that the exploration of found objects and the production of sculptures that provoke deeper conceptual meanings of subjects have become the norm, triggered by the socio-cultural conditions and geography in the art schools’ locations. It is concluded that postmodernism can be incorporated into sculptural training in Nigerian art schools without inhibiting the development of knowledge and skills according to classical and artistic principles and values.

Smoothing of the Time-Resolved Spectral Matrix Obtained by a Streak Camera: Estimation of the Fluorescence Band Parameters
Authors: Dubrovkin J. , Tomin V.I. , Krzysztofowicz A.
Published: January 2023

A new method based on singular value decomposition (SVD) was applied to the denoising of the time-resolved spectral matrix (TRSM), which was obtained by a streak camera. The least informative principal components (PCs) were filtered out using the Tikhonov regularization principle. A method for determining the quasi-optimal regularization parameter was suggested. The SVD method was compared with the moving average time direction (MATD) smoothing of the TRSM. Numerical simulations and experimental study of the 3-aminophthalimide (3AP) solution in acetonitrile showed that the SVD smoothing allowed for accurate measurement of signals in peak maximum. Fitting the polynomial modified Gaussian to the smoothed fluorescent bands decreased the measurement errors of the maximum peak position and its width. This method allowed us to obtain kinetics data of the fluorescence band parameters of the 3AP spectrum in an acetonitrile solution. Flexible selection of the quasi-optimal processing parameters and a better time resolution are the main advantages of the SVD method over MATD.

Introduction: Epidemiologic variables (prevalence and impact) of coronavirus disease were evaluated among health workers to elucidate the occupational risk of frontline fighters of the viral infection. 

Methods: This is a descriptive study performed from September to December 2021 on all consenting healthcare workers (HCWs) in a health facility in southern Nigeria. Data collected were statistically analyzed using SPSS version 23.

Results: About 339 volunteered HWs consisting of doctors 88 (26.0%), nurses 78 (23.0%), midwives 54 (15.9%), laboratory scientists 32 (9.4%), pharmacists 21 (6.2%), Public Health Surveillance Officer 29 (8.6%), psychosocial counselor 11 (3.2%), administrative officers 17 (5.0%) and others 9 (2.7%) were involved in the study. About 98 (28.9%) were COVID-19 patients while 241 (71.1%) were healthy. Among 98 unhealthy HCWs, 55 (56.1%) were male, and 43 (43.9%) with an age range of 18 – 79 years. The symptoms distribution produced among the unhealthy volunteers included; fever 12 (12.2%), dry cough 17 (17.3%), productive cough 6 (6.1%), Dyspnea 7 (7.1%), Anosmia 9 (9.2%), headache 8 (8.2%), fatigue 8 (8.2%), Myalgia 4 (4.1%), Aguesia 6(6.1%), Diarrhea 4 (4.1%), sore throat 5 (5.1%), Rhinorrhea 3 (3.1%), Vomiting 2 (2.0%) and Others 7 (7.1%). The study also showed that there was a significant distribution of anxiety and depression among the frontline fighters, P<0.05.

Conclusion: The distribution and impact of the virus observed among clinical and clinical support staff in this study provided an evidence-based occupational risk of the virus on HCWs, especially the frontline fighters; Hence, forming a basis for the need to put in place measures to manage and curtail the viral infection rate in hospital facilities in addition to enhancing prevention behavior of HCWs.

There had been a growing global need for biomolecular agents due to its diversity in biotechnological application especially chitosan and its derivatives. Current advances in nano-particulate technologies have also abetted the use of biomolecular-based nano-type delivery and functions of chitosan resulting nano-based chitosan/nanochitosan particle. Although there exist notable advances in the exploration and innovative nanochitosan application, future expansion remains bleary. The current study access the knowledge evolution in nanochitosan research and innovative biotechnological applications via science mapping of previous studies from authors, institutions, countries, collaboration networks, and productivity. Retrieved documents were 5,923 with 13,327 authors, from Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection and timespan of 1990 – 2019 using the search title; (Chitosan and nanoparticle*). Our result reveals an increase in the publication of related documents in fifth yearly order. This notable/significant increase observed in subsequent years was revealed by the Lotka’s model with an annual growth rate of 33.32%; Lotka's model beta=1.927; C=0.286; R2=0.89; p.value=0.05. Corresponding Author's Countries were China 1756 (29.65), India 683 (11.53), Japan 47 (0.79); while country citation are; China (51720), India (17595), Korea (10688), Australia (1679). The last decade reports reveal more publications on nanochitosan studies ranging from 238 publications to greater than 746 publications. Although such increase has revealed global known capabilities, research based and/or application of the nanobased-chitosan, there is need for pertinent exploitation of nanochitosan potentials, documentation, application, progresses and future of related studies. A suggestive continuous application of such progresses on chitosan knowledge-research based documentation/exploration has a part with global future research and biotechnological application.
Contemporary Issues in Retail Industry

With regard to both the consumer behavior and the overall competition structure, the retail industry is constantly changing. Each industry has its peculiarities, retail is no exception. The customer loyalty levels are decreasing, therefore, the retail management at large has to decide which effective measures to take, in order to simultaneously gain new customers and retain the existing ones. At present, the average buyer is educated, experienced, and keenly self-aware of his/her importance, as well as of the entire purchasing process. Consequently, it is essential to obtain access and keep the buyer satisfied. The changes required, with regard to the management of retail chains, should thus cover all the stages of the process, ranging from the procurement to sales. In this particular paper, we examine the corporate governance process and its’ requirements of competing on the retail market. The overview of the entire organizational structure and the processes required to operate under current retail management conditions will be analyzed. The findings will prove to be quite beneficial to Croatian retail companies and aid in overcoming the major threat of EU competitors, laying out the changes necessary for survival within this particular industry branch.

Sztuka trwa w permanentnym procesie komunikacji, lecz ze względu na upływ czasu i przeobrażenia społeczne zmianie ulega sposób jej odbioru. Sztuka ze swej istoty nie daje się zamknąć w ramy czy definicje. Zagadnienia uniwersalizmu, symbolizmu oraz upływu czasu w kontekście komunikacji sprowadzają się do refleksji, iż wszystko, co jest dziś neutralne i zrozumiałe, w kolejnej generacji czy wieku może zmienić znaczenie i sens w procesie dekodowania. W jaki sposób sztuka komunikuje się względem narracji ze społeczeństwem? W tym kontekście niezwykle ciekawe wydaje się zagadnienie projektowania komunikacji, designu, kreowania marki i wizerunku z wykorzystaniem artefaktów i sztuki. W rozważaniach dokonano analizy zarówno teoretycznego ujęcia zagadnienia, jak i praktycznych działań z uwzględnieniem ponad 600-letnich fresków Kaplicy Trójcy Świętej, których wizerunki są używane w celu projektowania komunikacji Muzeum Narodowego w Lublinie oraz strategii miasta.
Muzeum Stefana Kardynała Wyszyńskiego w Prudniku-Lesie. Historia i teraźniejszość
Authors: Hamryszczak Artur
Published: January 2023

Kardynał Stefan Wyszyński był więziony przez władze komunistyczne od 25 września 1953 roku do 28 października 1956 roku. Jednym z miejsc jego odosobnienia był klasztor w Prudniku-Lesie, gdzie prymas przebywał od 6 października 1954 roku do 29 października 1955 roku. Franciszkanie przed przybyciem kardynała zostali przymusowo wysiedleni przez wojsko, a po przeniesieniu hierarchy do Komańczy odzyskali klasztor dopiero w 1957 roku dzięki zabiegom mieszkańców Prudnika. W odbudowanym klasztorze zakonnicy jedną z cel, w której przebywał uwięziony prymas, przeznaczyli na izbę pamięci hierarchy. Jej otwarcia dokonał kardynał Józef Glemp, prymas Polski, w dniu 8 maja 1983 roku, podczas uroczystości poświęcenia pomnika kardynała Stefana Wyszyńskiego przed klasztorem. Nie zachowało się oryginalne wyposażenie, dlatego w pokoju umieszczono meble pochodzące z czasów uwięzienia prymasa. Aranżacja celi ma poprzez swój realizm przybliżyć nie tylko warunki życia uwięzionego kardynała, lecz także skłonić zwiedzających do lepszego poznania życia hierarchy, jego działalności duszpasterskiej, a także realiów społeczno-politycznych Polski w latach 50. XX wieku. W celu wykorzystania nowoczesnych środków przekazu w 2007 roku otwarto na parterze klasztoru salę audiowizualną z wystawą pamiątek po prymasie oraz grafiką ilustrującą dzieje klasztoru Franciszkanów w Prudniku-Lesie oraz życie i działalność kardynała Stefana Wyszyńskiego. Muzeum jest przykładem kościelnej placówki biograficznej, która realizuje zadania postawione jej przez ustawodawcę eklezjalnego. Oddziałuje bowiem na zwiedzających nie tylko religijnie, lecz także kulturowo. Należy zauważyć, że od 2001 roku, kiedy Sejm RP dedykował go kardynałowi S. Wyszyńskiemu, franciszkanie i władze miasta Prudnik podejmują wspólne inicjatywy popularyzacji osoby prymasa. Działania te wspierał również dominikanin Jan Góra pochodzący z Prudnika. Cyklicznie organizowane są wydarzenia zarówno religijne (msze św., nabożeństwa itp.), jak i kulturalne (rajdy, akademie, wykłady, projekcje filmów). Powstają również nowe inicjatywy upamiętniania kardynała S. Wyszyńskiego: ścieżka turystyczna, tablice pamiątkowe, sadzone są buki „kardynalskie” w miejscach związanych z hierarchą. Centrum tych działań jest klasztorne muzeum internowanego kardynała w Prudniku.
