Authors: Mezaal Elham N. , Mohammed Maha A. , Sadiq Kawther Ahmed
Published: August 2023

Vitamins are a type of essential and important nutrient in the human body. It also plays an essential role in the health and protection of the human body. They share physiological functions with many chemicals, and their deficiency or increase endangers human health. Therefore, it is required to evolve and use modern methods to estimate the concentration of vitamins, even if their concentration is very low, and these include the vitamin E group tocopherols, tocotrienols, isomers, esters, and derivatives. They disagree not in their ability as anti-cancer agents but rather in their physiological as well as chemical relations, unlike vitamin A and vitamin D. The richest source of vitamin E is vegetable oil. Vitamin E, classified as a vitamin, dissolves in fat. It is pointed out in different types of foods involving vegetable oils, meat, eggs, cereals, and poultry, in addition to fruits. Some of the vital signs and symptoms of a vitamin E deficiency include neurological defects such as dysfunction of the brain, nerves, spinal cord, and muscles; muscle pain and weakness; muscle deterioration, including cardiomyopathy or weak heart muscle; low birth weight; difficulty moving the eyes up and down; poor vision at night; loss or lack of sense of vibration; and a feeling of numbness or tingling.

Published: August 2023

Effect of drought stress induced by mannitol on secondary products in callus of Golden Sunrise cherry tomatoes were studied in vitro. Seeds were irradiated with gamma at the doses (0, 20, or 40 Gy), and germinated on Murashige and Skoog, (MS) basal medium. Callus were initiated from cotyledon leaf explants using a combination of (2.0 kin + 2.0 IAA mg. l-1) then transferred into MS medium supplemented with mannitol at concentrations of (0, 40, and 60 g.l-1). Vitamin C(vit C), enzyme activity, Ascorbate peroxidase (Apx), and Amylase  enzymes, Proline amino acid and β- carotene were quantified by high-performance Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Results revealed that, highest contents of (Apx) 128.16 µg. ml-1 and 132.6 µg. ml-1 for amylase at 60 g.l-1 of mannitol and 0 Gy of gamma, respectively. Furthermore, the content of VIT C (265.57 µg. ml-1 ) at 20 Gy and 60 g.l-1 of mannitol. The results also showed that a combination of 40 Gy and 60 g.l-1 of mannitol was optimum for the production of high proline amino acids (761.0 µg. ml-1 )  and  (113.54 µg. ml-1 )  for β- carotene  content in callus culture.

Studies on the ecological succession of microorganisms during bioremediation of hyper-toxic crude oil polluted soil using five amendments
Authors: Martin Osita Anagboso  , Onyeka Michael Ikele  , Michael Uchenna Orji
Published: August 2023

Dangerous impact of crude oil in the environment is a common knowledge and its spillage has been controlled using both chemical and biological methods. Bioremediation however, is most advocated because of its environmental friendliness and sustainability. The present study sought to identify and monitor successions, and diversity of microorganisms elicited by five amendments in the bioremediation of hypertoxic crude oil pollution. Five amendment patterns which incorporated 200 g each of saw dust, wood chip, compost, N.P.K. fertilizer and poultry droppings; were used to stimulate biodegradation in 50% crude oil contaminated soil, and their respective microbial counts and microbial successions were monitored over a period of eight months. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS version 21 software. Poultry droppings amendment had the highest significant (p<0.05) bacterial and fungal counts. Bacillus subtilis, Stenotrophomas maltophilia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were the predominant bacteria observed during the microbial succession studies across the amendment microcosms, while Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium citrinnum and Fusarium solani were the predominant fungal isolates. It was observed that the hyper-toxic concentration of the crude oil impacted the diversity and succession of the microbes across all the amendments used when compared to the control sample.

Authors: Wang Chunhui
Published: August 2023

The aim of the study is to identify the themes, techniques, features and sociocultural significance of T. S. Tsarkova’s poetry. Several determining factors have been established for the analysis of T. S. Tsarkova’s creative work: this is a woman poet, a poet from St. Petersburg, a poet-philologist (not only by training, but also by profession). The paper is novel in that it is the first to introduce into scientific use previously unexplored materials, i.e. T. S. Tsarkova’s poems demonstrating a harmonious combination of the traditions of St. Petersburg poetry and the motifs of female lyric poetry. It was shown that the author’s poetic system is distinguished by a wide range of themes concerning timeless and topical issues, as well as the variation of stylistic registers. As a result, the main themes of T. S. Tsarkova’s poetic works were highlighted and characterised: lyric poetry related to purely women’s themes; philosophical lyrics; poems imbued with St. Petersburg themes; poems that emotionally capture the events of the era contemporary to the poet.
Discrediting strategy as a tool of anti-Russian propaganda in the speeches of German politicians
Authors: Churikov Mikhail Petrovich
Published: August 2023

The study aims to characterise the linguistic means of implementing the strategy of discrediting Russia and Russian foreign policy activities in the speeches of German politicians. The paper discusses speech techniques for the implementation of communicative intent, which consists in deliberately discrediting Russia’s foreign policy and purposefully creating an image of the enemy, and also analyses their influencing potential from the standpoint of functional pragmalinguistics. The scientific novelty of the study lies in an attempt to systematise the linguistic means used by German politicians to form a negative attitude of the audience and to justify their influencing power. As a result of the study, the author finds that the discrediting strategy is implemented in the following tactics: the dehumanisation tactics, the accusation tactics and the intimidation tactics. These tactics imply the use of a set of speech techniques the influencing power of which is aimed at creating a negative image (dehumanisation) of the object of discrediting, as well as at accusing this object of criminal actions and instilling a sense of fear of the scale of emerging threats and the consequences of the actions carried out by the object of discrediting.

The fields of architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) have kept pace with recent technological developments in design and construction. However, it is difficult to obtain information on the breadth of applications of BIM -based tools throughout the life cycle of construction projects. Hence, this study attempts to empirically identify and evaluate the applications of pre-construction tools, with a focus on safety training and workplace hazard recognition. A questionnaire in the form of a survey was used to collect data. The results show that the ten predictors account for 52.3% of the variation in BIM knowledge (F (10, 56) = 6.133, p < 0.001).It is also found that site analysis and safety instructions have no effect on the measured variable. The study represented a comprehensive blend of research to improve the use of BIM -based tools for safety training and workplace hazard identification. It also contributed to the knowledge of how to use BIM -based tools in the pre-construction phase. The development of the BIM -process flow framework for safety training and hazard identification will be the main focus of future work.
For Whom the Platter Tolls
Authors: Bogatyrev Sergei
Published: August 2023

This paper deals with memory in medieval Rus. Previous scholarship has focused on organised liturgical commemoration (memoria), which relied on complex canonised texts and sophisticated church rituals. This article concerns less formal types of medieval remembrance, like commemorative graffiti, colophons, and simple commemorative rituals. Such memorial devices can be called paraliturgical because they either facilitated liturgical commemoration or derived from liturgical texts and ceremonies, but technically were not part of the liturgy. Paraliturgical remembrance offered a peculiar version of the past. It combined short family memory, which went back to one or two generations, and the mythologised past, which was based on Scripture and inspirational legends, like that about Riurik. Paraliturgical memory was future orientated as it carried information required for salvation, including records of charity and donations. This type of memory also conveyed emotions, genealogical knowledge, and royal mythology. Paraliturgical remembrance crossed institutional and regional boundaries, creating communities of rememberers.
Illustrations for Our Time
Authors: Kivelson Valerie A.
Published: August 2023

This article examines how the Black Death is represented visually in the Illustrated Chronicle Compilation (Litsevoi letopisnyi svod), a many-tomed account of the history of Russia compiled and lavishly illustrated at the court of Ivan the Terrible in the 1560s or 1570s. Illustrators and chroniclers depicted ordinary plague victims differently from those of high rank. Lofty individuals, like Grand Prince Semen Ivanovich and his sons, were shown apart from the mass deaths and their deaths were not explicitly attributed to plague. This may be because plague was understood as divine punishment. Nonetheless, the illustrations show the common humanity of plague victims. Illustrators also expressed an appreciation of the organic connections between human and natural spheres and the fragile relations between the two.
Unintended Consequences
Authors: Martin Janet
Published: August 2023

After annexing Novgorod in 1478, Grand Prince Ivan III adopted a series of policies that resulted in weakening the commercial economy that had underpinned Novgorod’s wealth and independence. Among them were policies, adopted in the 1490s and thoroughly studied by scholars, that disrupted Novgorod’s relations with its Baltic trading partners and prompted major adjustments to its patterns of export. But even earlier, in the 1480s, Ivan introduced policies that dismantled the long-standing and well-organized system of supplying large quantities of squirrel pelts, one of Novgorod’s major exports, to the market. The economic effect of these policies, which had been designed to consolidate his political authority over the subjugated region, was seemingly unintentional.

This has been explained in the Appendix to Permendikbud Number 21 of 2016, that the dimensions of knowledge based on Bloom's Taxonomy are classified into factual, conceptual, procedural, and metacognitive whose mastery needs to start from the elementary level to the secondary education level. The mechanism of the service method in carrying out activities in general is in the form of planning/preparation, implementation, observation and evaluation, and reflection.

We present a mixed methods user study evaluating augmented reality (AR) as a visualization technique for use in astronomy journal publications. This work is motivated by the highly spatial nature of scientific visualizations employed in astronomy, including spatial reasoning tasks for hypothesis generation and scientific communications. In this 52-person user study, we evaluate two AR approaches (one traditional tabletop projection and the other with a 'tangible' aid) as spatial 3D visualization techniques, as compared to a baseline 3D rendering on a phone. We identify a significant difference in mental and physical workload between the two AR conditions in men and women. Qualitatively, through thematic coding of interviews, we identify notable observed differences ranging from device-specific physical challenges, to subdomain-specific utility within astronomy. The confluence of quantitative and qualitative results suggest a tension between workload and engagement when comparing non-AR and AR technologies. We summarize these findings and contribute them for reference in data visualization research furthering novel scientific communications in astronomy journal publications.
Nonverbal displays of dominance and prestige: Evidence for cross-cultural and early-emerging recognition

Two universal strategies for attaining influence – dominance, or the use of intimidation and force to obtain power, and prestige, or garnering respect by demonstrating knowledge and expertise – are communicated through distinct nonverbal displays in North America. Given evidence for the emergence and effectiveness of these strategies across cultures, including non-WEIRD small-scale, traditional societies in Africa, Asia, and South America, the nonverbal displays that are used to reliably communicate these strategies also might be universal. Here, we demonstrate that the dominance display is recognized by the Mayangna, a small-scale society in rural Nicaragua, and by Canadian children as young as 2 and 3 years old. We also find that the prestige display is reliably differentiated from dominance by both groups, and judged as a high rank signal by the Mayangna. However, members of the Mayangna confused the prestige display with happiness, and children confused the prestige display with a neutral expression. Overall, findings are consistent with a ubiquitous and early-emerging ability to recognize dominance, and with the suggestion that the prestige display is more culturally variable and ontogenetically slower to emerge.
Das Potential der frequenz-spezifischen Neuromodulation für die Untersuchung und Verbesserung der Sprachverarbeitung im Gehirn
Authors: Preisig Basil Christoph
Published: August 2023

The acoustic speech signal cannot be clearly divided into individual words and rather resembles a continuous stream of sounds. Nevertheless, there are temporal regularities that may be used in perception. The duration of language elements such as phonemes, syllables, words and phrases is also reflected in the neural response patterns during speech perception. Impairments in language functions are often accompanied by changes in these neural response patterns. Despite these findings, it is not clear whether there is a causal relationship between the neural response and the quality of speech perception. This article introduces the relevant components of the acoustic speech signal, describes the neuronal response to speech stimuli in the healthy brain and shows which neurophysiological changes are associated with speech dysfunction. Various methods of non-invasive neuromodulation are presented, and first results are presented, which indicate that language functions may be improved through targeted neuromodulation.
An examination of control and reactive dimensions of temperament as predictors of various measures of college "success."
Authors: Collings Raymond D. , Eaton Leslie G. , Rappaport Matthew
Published: August 2023

The current study explores relations among adult temperament, the Big Five factors, and various measures of college "success.” Self-report measures of participant demographics, adult temperament, and the Big Five were administered at the beginning of the semester. A second battery measuring aspects of well-being was administered later in the semester. Academic achievement (i.e., GPA and persistence to graduation) was tracked until the participants graduated or dropped out. Although " success" can be predicted by multiple adult temperament traits, depending on the domain of success, effortful control was the most consistent predictor across all outcomes. The impact of reactive traits (e.g., negative affect and extraversion/surgency) varied across outcomes and the gender of the students. Temperament and the Big Five explained different aspects of academic achievement and well-being with emerging adults. The current results have important implications for the study of development during emerging adulthood and potential interventions for at-risk college students.
Construction and Validation of Symbolic Retention Ability Test

Education is a method or process of transmitting or learning universal mental processes, developing the abilities of thought and assessment, and, in general, intellectually modifying oneself or others for mature life. The ability to compare number and symbols, such as digits, efficiently is linked to mathematical competence across the life span. The teacher's use of symbolic representations becomes second nature, as they are deeply integrated with conceptual understanding and subject knowledge. Such representations, however, may place significant additional demands on learners who are already challenged by the abstract nature of concepts as well as the variety of unfamiliar substances to which these concepts are applied in the curriculum. Taking a broadly constructivist approach to learning, While the majority of students are conceptual thinkers who communicate verbally, some students have a different learning style, that the students are more interested to solve the mathematical problems by using formula and symbols. Thus, the Symbolic Retention Ability help the student to understand the mathematical problems in a meaningful way and solving them in a systematic way. This paper is an attempt to construct and validate a tool for assessing the symbolic retention ability among higher secondary students. For this purpose, a collection of 60 mathematical statements with related symbols from the content of XI standard mathematics text-book covering six dimensions viz. geometry, statistics, probability, number theory, calculus and set theory. These gathered 60 statements were undergone pilot study with 100 higher secondary students in Puducherry region and on the basis of index of difficulty and index of discrimination values 37 statements have been selected. The reliability and validness have also been found for this test. Hence, a complete and full-fledged Symbolic Retention Ability Test has been constructed and validated through this study and it will be an enough tool to measure the Symbolic Retention Ability of the higher secondary students.
The Wrongs of Property Rights: The Erosion of Indigenous Communal Land Rights and Its Welfare Consequences
Authors: Eswaran Mukesh
Published: August 2023

Je propose un modèle économique théorique dans lequel la privatisation d’une réserve autochtone en la divisant en parcelles individuelles en fief simple peut abaisser le niveau de bien-être des groupes autochtones. En m’appuyant sur les effets démontrés de l’érosion de la culture autochtone et des droits de propriété communaux, je propose une explication partielle de la raison pour laquelle le bien-être subjectif auto-évalué des peuples autochtones d’Amérique du Nord est le plus mauvais de tous les groupes démographiques. Tout en reconnaissant la nature complexe des économies autochtones, j’établis à des fins analytiques un modèle simple comportant seulement deux biens produits, à savoir les produits alimentaires et un bien culturel. Je montre que le bien-être d’une communauté peut être plus élevé avec la propriété communale qu’avec la propriété privée, malgré le problème classique du passager clandestin associé à la propriété communale - un résultat qui concorde avec la théorie de l’optimum de second rang. Cette théorie explique pourquoi la loi Dawes de 1887 aux États-Unis et des tentatives similaires au Canada ont abaissé le bien-être des personnes autochtones et sont porteuses de leçons en matière d’initiatives politiques actuelles au Canada, en particulier celles relatives à la politique des droits fonciers autochtones. Je soutiens également que les conséquences de la privatisation des terres de réserve autochtones pourraient être bien plus graves que ce que le modèle simple présenté ici à l’aide d’outils néoclassiques permet d’appréhender.
