Published: January 2025

Introduction. Cold brewing is a relatively new method of preparing coffee.

   The goal research was to study the dynamics of biologically active compounds and antioxidant activity during cold extraction of coffee using Arabica coffee sold on the Russian consumer market.

   The Methods. Extraction was carried out for 24 hours in two versions differing in the temperature of the water for extraction (+20 °C and +4 °C). At different time intervals (5 minutes, 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours) the following were determined in the extracts: spectrophotometrically for caffeine content, the amount of chlorogenic acids, phenolic compounds; antioxidant activity by the coulometric method. The coffee extract brewed in a French press for 5 minutes using the hot method served as a control sample.

   The Results. The main part of biologically active compounds passed into the extract after 6 and 12 hours when using water at a temperature of +20 °C and +4 °C for extraction, respectively, constituting more than 90 and 95 % of their total amount extracted in 24 hours. At the same time, their antioxidant activity was only 83.89 and 87.45 %. The content of biologically active compounds and the antioxidant activity of the extracts reached or exceeded the control after 24 hours of extraction. In drinks prepared for 6 and 24 hours (water temperature +20 °C) and 12 and 24 hours (water temperature +4 °C), soluble dry substances, pH, titratable acidity, and brown color intensity were additionally determined. At a higher temperature, coffee acquires a bitter taste during 24 hours of extraction, which reduces its organoleptic assessment.

   The Conclusion. To form optimal organoleptic and antioxidant properties when preparing Arabica coffee using cold brewing method, water at a temperature of +20 °C and +4 °C can be used with an extraction time of 6 and 24 hours, respectively.

Published: January 2025

Introduction. Potato is one of the crops most susceptible to diseases. In the Russian Federation, the annual potato yield loss due to disease is 20-25 %. Stems and tubers serve as a substrate for the development of microorganisms, fungi and pathogenic bacteria. The risk of potato disease is possible both during the growing period and during storage.

   The goal of the research is to create competitive varieties with high economically valuable traits, zoned for the North Caucasus region.

   The methods. All records and observations were carried out according to the methods of the selection process.

   As a result of the research, more than 200 varieties of various originators were used in the collection nursery of the Gorsk State Agrarian University. The work has been carried out in various directions for 23 years, including resistance to diseases and pests. Five varieties with high economic and biological indicators and productivity have been bred. As a result of the research, it has been found that hybrid offsprings of the 35th, 26th and 30th combinations have demonstrated high resistance of tops and tubers to famine fungus. 84.7 % of hybrid populations have demonstrated resistance to viral diseases. At present, the following hybrids have provided a competitive yield: 11.35/12 - 45.2 t/ha, 11.26/816 - 44.3 t/ha, 11.26/33 - 48 t/ha, 11.26/35 - 40.0 t/ha. The following hybrids have shown the highest stable quality indicators for starch and dry matter content: 11.35/12, 11.26/816, 11.26/594 - 16.2-16.8%, 22.2-22.8%, and their maximum accumulation has been noted in the hybrids of the 7th combination - from 17.4 to 24.4 % and from 23.3 to 30.5 %, respectively.

   Conclusions. Thus, much attention has been paid to breeding in the direction of resistance of various potato varieties to a number of diseases.

Published: January 2025

In an era where Urbanization and environmental degradation challenge the health of natural Ecosystem, the connection between people and nature diminishes, leading to a loss of awareness about the importance of biodiversity, particularly trees. This paper presents the results of a survey conducted at the RIT College campus in 2024, aimed at documenting the plant species present and categorizing them based on their fruit-bearing, Flower-bearing, medicinal benefits, and other uses, including industrial and ecological applications .We have created a PDF document containing detailed information about the plant, which will be used to generate a QR code for easy access. The QR codes providing detailed plant information are implanting on specific plants across the campus. This innovation allowed students, faculty, and visitors to interact with the campus flora by scanning the QR codes. The initiative received positive feedback, showcasing its role in fostering environmental awareness and engagement while promoting the significance of campus biodiversity. This paper explores the potential of QR code-based systems to enhance the accessibility of tree-related information, examining their technical implementation, case studies, and broader implications for ecological education, public engagement, and environmental conservation.

The impact of inflation has had a big impact on the food and beverage industry due to the surge in raw material prices, logistics costs and fuel oil which has an impact on the total cost of production. Under these conditions, of course the company will suffer the impact of stagnant profit margins and even tend to weaken. Inflation that continues to increase will cause a recession. The increase in prices of goods causes a decrease in people's purchasing power, thereby making the food and beverage industry sluggish. The phenomenon of global recession can cause company bankruptcy, because a decrease in demand will result in a decrease in company profits. The aim of this research is to find out whether there is an influence of production costs on net profit in processed food sub-industry companies. The data used in this research is secondary data. And the samples used were 42 samples of financial reports from processed food sub-industry companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) for the 2021-2023 period.

The Sustainable Strategy of Desalination in Morocco Versus Water Export and Intergenerational Equity. Case Study: Virtual Water Balance of the Desalination Plant in Agadir
Authors: Sighrouchni Mimoun
Published: January 2025

A transition in water resource management has been taking place in Morocco for some years. Whereas long before, the needs of all user sectors were met without difficulty. Certainly, without water no life is possible.

In this vision, water sovereignty always takes precedence within Moroccan strategies. In the context of structural water stress, actions are multiplying across conventional water boundaries to meet the demands of the sectors that use this vital commodity, moving towards the blue economy.

Desalination of seawater is a sustainable opportunity to be seized, despite the energy-intensive and costly process. Among other things, the phenomenon of exporting virtual water through agricultural goods watered from these desalinated marine waters, deserves a judicious reflection and patriotic decisions on the part of decision-makers, in a vision of equality between present and future generations.
The Four Exits of Senior High School: A Tracer Study in Ozamiz City
Authors: Gonzaga Kristhen A. , Dominese Nidine L. , C. Duyag Zipporah Abegail
Published: January 2025

Understanding the chosen exit paths of graduates is essential for evaluating the effectiveness of the SHS program and guiding future curriculum development. This study aims to trace the exit paths of senior high school graduates from a higher education institution in Ozamiz City, Misamis Occidental, focusing on their progression into tertiary education, employment, entrepreneurship, and middle-level skills development. The study employed a quantitative approach using a descriptive research design. Data were collected from 371 randomly selected graduates using questionnaires. The responses were analyzed using statistical techniques such as the T-test, mean, percentage, standard deviation, and frequency. The results reveal that most of the respondents were female, primarily aged between 20-21 years old, with a significant number coming from families earning less than 10,000 currency units. A majority of graduates pursued higher education, while a smaller portion engaged in employment, entrepreneurship, or middle-level skills development. The study found that the senior high school program was perceived as effective in preparing students for higher education and employment and most effective in fostering entrepreneurship. However, while the program is rated as effective in middle-level skills development, it receives the lowest rating among the constructs evaluated. Notably, no significant differences were found in the perceived effectiveness of the program when grouped according to profile. The senior high school program is generally effective in achieving its educational goals. The conclusions drawn from these findings indicate that the senior high school program is generally effective in achieving its educational goals, particularly in higher education and entrepreneurship. However, there is a need for improvement in middle-level skills development. The lack of significant differences across demographic groups suggests that the program’s effectiveness is consistently perceived regardless of the students’ backgrounds. Based on these conclusions, several recommendations are proposed. Education policymakers should prioritize enhancing pathways to higher education within the senior high school curriculum. This includes integrating findings into policy discussions and curriculum development to align with student preferences and post-exit plans. Additionally, school administrators and curriculum developers should focus on strengthening the middle-level skills component of the program to address the identified gaps.
The Application of TPACK Model in Teachers’ Teaching Practices: A Study on Integration and Effectiveness
Authors: Vijayatheepan Mr. R.
Published: January 2025

The integration of technology into teaching practices is critical for fostering 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, and digital literacy. This study investigates the application of the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework among Tamil-medium school teachers in the Jaffna Educational Division, Sri Lanka. The research focuses on three objectives: assessing teachers’ self-reported knowledge and practices in technology integration, identifying challenges and barriers to its implementation, and examining the influence of TPACK components on classroom effectiveness. Data were collected from 142 teachers using structured questionnaires and classroom observations, analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that while teachers displayed strong Pedagogical Knowledge (PK, mean = 4.2) and Content Knowledge (CK, mean = 4.1), their Technological Knowledge (TK, mean = 3.8) and integration skills (TPK = 3.9, TCK = 3.7) were moderate. Correlation analysis demonstrated significant positive relationships between TPACK components and teaching effectiveness, with Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK, r = 0.75) and Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK, r = 0.73) showing the strongest correlations. Challenges identified included insufficient resources (58%), lack of training (42%), and limited preparation time (37%). Additional barriers unique to Tamil-medium schools included language constraints and cultural resistance to change. Classroom observations confirmed that teachers with higher TPACK competencies effectively engaged students through technology-enhanced practices, demonstrating improved lesson structure and student interaction. The study concludes that while teachers possess strong foundational teaching competencies, targeted professional development programs and localized digital resources are essential to enhance technology integration. Addressing infrastructural deficits and providing institutional support are crucial for overcoming barriers and ensuring equitable access to technology-enhanced education. These findings provide actionable insights for fostering effective technology integration in Tamil-medium schools, contributing to improved student outcomes in resource-constrained contexts.

El objetivo de presente trabajo fue determinar las precipitaciones extremas y sus periodos de retorno para 1, 2, 3, 5 y 10 años en la subregión de la Chontalpa del estado de Tabasco. Las lluvias diarias se obtuvieron de 31 estaciones meteorológicas, seleccionadas de los archivos históricos (1961-2010) del programa ERIC. Definidas las lluvias máximas consecutivas de 1 a 5 días, se calcularon los períodos de retorno selectos con la función de distribución de probabilidad Gumbel. Para el diseño de los mapas de distribución espacial de las lluvias máximas se empleó el Software ARCGIS 9.3 ®. Se encontró que en uno de cada dos años ocurren precipitaciones extremas de al menos 150 mm que ocasionan problemas de inundación pues se tuvieron valores de lluvias entre 176 a 405 mm para los diferentes días consecutivos. Lo mismo ocurre con lluvias consecutivas de 3, 4 y 5 días donde las precipitaciones extremas fueron superiores a los 150 mm en toda la subregión. En el municipio de Cárdenas es donde ocurren las mayores lluvias extremas y pueden ocurrir lluvias en un solo día con valores entre 263 a 266 mm y entre 648 a 661 mm si caen durante cinco días consecutivos, una vez cada cinco años. En los municipios de Nacajuca y Jalpa de Méndez se presentan las lluvias máximas extremas en dos días consecutivos para un periodo de retorno de 2 y 5 años.
Breast Cancer Survival Analysis and Mortality Prediction Under Different Treatment Combinations
Authors: Pendharkar Parag C. , Rodger James A.
Published: January 2025

In this paper, a combination of breast cancer treatment procedures is considered, and its impact on breast cancer survival is precisely observed. Both statistical and neural network procedures are used to predict the breast cancer survival time. The results indicate that treatment procedures that use surgical options improve breast cancer survival. In the case of non-surgical options, hormone therapy appears to be the best. Additionally, the results suggest that radiation and chemotherapy combination lead to lower survival rates. The dataset used in this research had limited cases where the chemotherapy option was prescribed. Chemotherapy alone was a confounding cancer treatment option for non-node-positive cancer. For node-positive cancer cases, chemotherapy seems to work best where the surgery option is not considered or is viable. The experiments with neural networks show that neural networks can help predict the event of death, but these techniques could not accurately predict the length of survival.

Palestine in the Air
Authors: Yap Chin-chin
Published: January 2025

As the first cultural history of Palestinian aviation,Palestine in the Airreveals civil aviation’s role in the ‘question of Palestine’ over the past century.

How do Palestinians—as individuals, communities, and as a nascent state—engage with the air? How does their systemic exclusion from aerial agency inform dominant and counter-narratives of culture and modernity?

International civil aviation is a powerful tool for the disenfranchisement of Palestinian statehood, connectivity, and mobility. Yet, Palestinians have constantly sought to harness aviation as a legitimate component of modern state-building. They have also creatively appropriated aviation technologies including balloons, kites, and drones as instruments of resistance, exploiting flight’s symbolic qualities of escape and liberation to highlight the injustices of occupation.

Using an interdisciplinary approach that draws on media studies, cultural studies, critical theory, diplomacy, and history,Palestine in the Air examines civil aviation’s political, social, and cultural impact upon the Palestinian quest for sovereignty. The book makes use of an unprecedented range of aviation-related sources spanning unpublished memoirs, print and image archives, interviews, art, film, literature, poetry, and stand-up comedy.
Theatre and the Israel-Palestine Conflict
Authors: Harras Azza
Published: January 2025

This book delves into the complex narratives surrounding the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian dispute through the unique lens of theatre. This ground-breaking exploration employs postcolonial theory to analyze a diverse array of theatrical works by Israeli, Palestinian, and Western playwrights. By juxtaposing portrayals of significant events such as the Nakba or the Israeli War of Independence, the Intifadas, and the experiences of diaspora and exile, Harras provides a nuanced examination of how these events are represented on stage. The book reveals the profound impact of language in constructing and contesting historical narratives and underscores theatre's role as a space for cultural critique and self-reflection. This comprehensive study offers new insights into the power of artistic expression to challenge historical dichotomies and encourage a deeper understanding of this enduring conflict. Essential for scholars of Postcolonial Studies, Middle East Studies, and the Performing Arts, this work invites readers to reconsider the conflict through the transformative lens of theatre.
Jane Campion
Authors: Wegenstein Bernadette
Published: January 2025

Throughout films and television series likeThe Piano,Bright Star, In the CutandTop of the Lake, Jane Campion has constantly explored gender, subjectivity and narrative representation. In an intensive engagement with her cross-medium career, Bernadette Wegenstein examines how Campion gives a tangible and visible form to the female gaze in her exploration, deployment, and ultimately her subversion of highly formalized genres such as the period piece, the thriller, and the procedural drama.

Keeping a strict focus on her directorial practice and specifically on the capacity of her cinematography to induce both empathy and estrangement, this vital new book shows how Campion is engaged in a permanent artistic and intuitive exposition of a profoundly feminist philosophical vision. Wegenstein’s work will be invaluable to scholars and students in gender and women’s studies, film studies and those on philosophy and film courses.
Sensing Islam
Authors: Stjernholm Simon
Published: January 2025

How have practices and imaginaries of sensing been religiously engaged and contested by Muslims? How do contemporary Muslim practices and debates concerning religious sensing relate to historical precedents?

Analysing examples dealing with contemporary Sufism and Muslim religious oratory, this book explores how the senses have been engaged and contested in Muslim religiosity. Combining the research fields of Islamic Studies, anthropology of Islam, material religion and sensory studies, this book covers a range of materials, including writings by Muslim religious authorities, ethnographic material, audio recordings and videos.

Focusing on Western contexts, this book provides an innovative approach by foregrounding the piety practices of Western Muslims. Synthesising existing research with his own original analyses, Simon Stjernholm provides a fresh perspective on Islamic tradition, religiosity and sensing.
Spying on Muslims in Colonial Mozambique, 1964-74
Authors: Araújo Sandra
Published: January 2025

Revealing Portugal’s counterinsurgent spying on Muslims during Mozambique’s liberation struggle, this book uses archival and field work to study Muslim responses to counterinsurgency and armed nationalism that led to Mozambique’s freedom from colonial rule. Paying particular attention to the intricate set of realities Muslims faced during the colonial war, and their responses to Portuguese efforts to woo them against armed nationalism, Araújo shows how some elements of the Muslim community supported Portuguese counterinsurgency, while others defied it.

Exploring complex interconnections between Muslim culture, Portuguese intelligence-gathering practices, and colonial and nationalist propaganda,Spying on Muslims in Colonial Mozambiquebrings a novel insight to the study of colonial counterinsurgency. Drawing scholarly attention to view this period of Portuguese colonisation as a matrix of lived realities pushing and pulling Muslim communities in opposite directions, this study enhances our understanding of colonial security strategies in Mozambique during the liberation war and their legacies in the post-colonial era.
Teacher Education for Global Englishes Language Teaching
Authors: Prabjandee Denchai
Published: January 2025

This book presents a model of transformative, empowering and critically oriented language teacher education to prepare English teachers to implement Global Englishes Language Teaching (GELT).

GELT’s importance to learners’ needs for communication in the globalized world means that it receives tremendous interest from language teacher educators worldwide, underlining the risks posed by gaps in teachers’ knowledge of how to implement it. This book fills in those gaps, with accessible theoretical foundations and practical examples drawn from the successful work of the M.Ed. in Teaching English as a Global Language (TEGL) at Burapha University, Thailand.

Through critically oriented frameworks, the TEGL program equips in-service English teachers with a critical lens to examine their current practices, challenge the sociocultural and educational backgrounds that teachers bring into teacher education, and empower them in transforming their classroom practices to correspond with the GELT paradigm.

The book highlights how the global spread of English impacts language teacher education, discusses the theoretical foundations underlying the design of teacher education for GELT, addresses the knowledge base for preparing teachers to use GELT and examines the applications of teacher education for GELT. It is vital reading for graduate students, teacher educators, and researchers in language teacher education and beyond.
Bad Sex
Authors: Holzberg Billy , Gibbs Jacqueline , Lehtonen Aura
Published: January 2025

Bad Sextraces the evolution of representations of sex on screen, from earlier portrayals of sex as glamorous or taboo, to more complex depictions of often awkward or painful experiences and feelings.

Jacqueline Gibbs, Billy Holzberg, and Aura Lehtonen examine the representation of sex and sexuality in contemporary English language drama and ‘dramedy’ shows likeFleabag(2016, 2019),Sex Education(2019-23),I May Destroy You(2020) andEuphoria(2019-), arguing that TV is where the politics of sexuality and gender is negotiated under the contemporary conditions of neoliberalism.

Through a cultural analysis of key television shows, they identify this shift as driven by the diversification of representations of sex and sexuality, as women, trans and non-binary, Black and minority ethnic, working-class and disabled TV professionals carve some space in a traditionally white, middle-class, cis male dominated industry. In doing so, they explore the affective potential and limits of ‘bad’ sex on our screens and what these representations can tell us about sexual politics and gender cultures today.
Capitalism and Nothingness
Authors: Fleming Peter
Published: January 2025

Drawing on Marcuse, Adorno, Arendt and a variety of other critical social philosophers, this book introduces us to a familiar character amid the wreckage of the post-pandemic economy: no-dimensional man. A cousin of Marcuse’s one-dimensional man, they are a figure so compressed by the unending present of capitalism that they have ceased to be genuinely present in any ethical or political sense.

This is Peter Fleming’s brilliant analysis of the psychological and institutional mechanisms that drive the demise of capitalist democracies. The scene is set in no-dimensional man’s natural habitats – the modern office, the corporate suite, the government bureau and the corporate university. In these treacherous climes Fleming reveals the dark power relations currently shaping the post-industrial system. This deep dive into the post-industrial pit explains the failure of capitalism in terms of its most contagious symptoms, including micro-jobs, multinational spread, shadow banking, financial predation, the working poor, and government by algorithm. Beset by every malaise of modern economic institutions, from cognitive dissonance to bleak performance metrics and almost deliberate vacuity, no-dimensional man is a living mirror image of the new culture of nothingness characterizing capitalism today.
