Authors: Melnyk Oleksiy , Onishchenko Oleg , Vasalatii Nadiia , Varlan Tetіana
Published: September 2022

Safety of navigation is a direct obligation of countries party to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS Convention, 1974), which provides that every government must take all measures, including the prompt communication of information relating to the safety of navigation to all persons concerned, whether to ships or coastal stations. This task depends not only on the collection, processing and storage of navigational and hydrometeorological information, but also on technical measures aimed at the transfer of this information and its reception on board the ship. This paper proposes a new approach to navigational safety, based on the introduction and use of digital technologies applicable for application in navigation equipment, and improving the efficiency of navigation data transfer in the broadband system.

Published: September 2022

Although radical cystectomy remains the standard treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, concurrent chemoradiotherapy offers a curative option to patients medically unfit for radical surgery and an alternative conservative treatment for selected patients who are potential candidates for cystectomy. Pelvic irradiation techniques in the various pelvic cancers such as bladder cancer are most often accompanied by toxicity over the course and the long term, despite new advances in radiotherapy such as IMRT and VMAT. Which were still able to reduce the rate of acute and late toxicities after treatment? A good knowledge of these complications makes it possible to: detect them, treat them or better, prevent them for a better quality of life. Survival rates are poor for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, with around 45% of patients surviving for 5 years regardless of the type of treatment.

Guptas and Inclusive Sectarianism: An Epigraphic and Numismatic Study
Authors: Beig Ramees Raja
Published: September 2022

The fourth, fifth, and first half of the sixth centuries of the Christian era—the period known as the Imperial Guptas in India—present a religious landscape with intricate vertical and horizontal linkages. The Vedic rituals and gods are depicted in one section of this as standing at the pinnacle of several Brahmanical religious systems that are horizontally connected to one another. The non-Brahmanical systems are similarly depicted in a horizontal relationship with one another, but without the Vedic vertex, and running antagonistically opposite the Brahmanical ones, sharing in the new options provided by the prevalent element of folk and local cults involving the Yaksas, the veneration of sacred trees and rivers, etc. in the care of those who revere holy rivers and forests, etc. The Gupta kings used this perplexing substance to paint a harmonious scene on the canvas.

We report a case of a left para-duodenal internal hernia in order to describe the role of a CT scan in its diagnosis. It was a 19-year-old boy with no known personal medical history. He was received at “The stars clinic’’ in Bamako (Mali) on 01/15/2020 for an abdominal CT scan for the assessment of diffuse abdominal pain on mass on palpation. The CT scan revealed agglutination of the small intestinal loops with its mesentery and its mesenteric vessels in the left paramedian location without complications. Faced with this semiological CT scan, the diagnosis of a left para-duodenal internal hernia was retained. Surgical management confirmed this diagnosis. Since the clinical diagnosis of an internal hernia is often unrecognized, cross-sectional imaging methods with multiplanar reformatting, in particular CT scan, remain essential in the management of this pathology.

Authors: Eram Uzma , Sultan Zakia
Published: September 2022

Research into individuals’ risk perception is essential to understanding their behaviour, and adoption of individual-level preventive measures (e.g. wearing masks, washing hands etc) in case of pandemic. Various perceptions and practices have been associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, we assessed the knowledge, attitude and practices regarding COVID-19 among rural population in Jawan in Aligarh. A descriptive cross-sectional study design was used. Data was collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Data collection took place from August - October,2021.We conducted a door to door survey and interviewed 300 persons, aged ≥18 years, who gave consent for the study .The questionnaire was developed using the risk communication and community engagement tool, which was modified according to local settings. Majority of the study population thought Covid 19 to be a disease while few thought it to be a biological weapon used by China or to be due to radiation caused by 5 G network testing. Majority of the study population washed their hands with soap and water and avoided crowded places. Majority of the respondents perceived fever, cough and sore throat as the main symptom, followed by breathlessness and running nose .Very less respondent’s perceived loss of taste and loss of smell. Majority of the population adopted some homemade remedies as a precautionary measure in the form of tea or Kaadha. Most of them had knowledge about mode of spread through cough and sneeze but no one know about the spread of disease through asymptomatic patient. Health care workers also need to use strategies for identifying and communicating with at-risk populations (specifically the elderly) through field visits. They also need to prioritize research in areas of elderly COVID-19 perceptions, particularly around barriers and facilitators to adherence to preventive measures.

Published: September 2022

A part of overall health includes oral health. Oral diseases are among the most common diseases in the world and have significant adverse consequences on both health and economy. Dental caries, periodontal disease, tooth loss, and oral malignancies are the oral disorders that have the highest impact on world health. Families and healthcare systems have a significant financial burden from the expense of treating oral diseases. The increased prevalence of oral diseases in many low- and middle-income nations is particularly concerning as oral diseases are a global public health issue. In order to help healthcare decision-makers, this article will outline the assessment of the economic impacts of dental diseases. In order to reduce oral diseases, behavioral changes connected to oral health are necessary and can be brought about by health economics and public policy working together. By focusing on specific instances of evidence gaps in oral health and care, health economics can be a useful tool to guide the design of policies linked to oral health.

Published: September 2022

Background/Objectives: This study evaluated the effect of home-connected toothbrushing education for young children living in a part of Gyeonggi Province.
Methods: The program, comprising three steps, was repeated three times using the same educational theme. Step 1 involved visiting education with teaching tools by a dietician. Step 2 involved repeated education by a preschool teacher. Step 3 involved home education with a worksheet by main caregivers. The effects before and after education were evaluated for 161 infants (female, 95; male, 66) aged 2-6 years. Frequencies were calculated and a paired t-test was conducted to identify changes in behavior before and after home-connected toothbrushing education.
Results: In terms of gender, the main caregivers comprised 151 women (93.8%) and 10 men (6.2%). Of these, 150 (93.2%) were mothers, 10 were fathers (6,2%), and 1 was a grandmother (0.6%) in terms of relationship to the children. The average score of oral healthcare knowledge of the main caregivers was 1.81 out of 2. A total of 46.6% of the children were educated at home more than once a day, 18.6% two to three times per week, 16.1% four to five times per week, 14.9% six to seven times per week, and 3.7% less than once a week. The frequency of “brushing teeth after meals” increased from an average of 1.72 days per week before education to 4.08 days per week after education (p<.001). However, the frequency of “brushing teeth more than three times a day” did not change following the education.
Conclusion/Implications: Home-connected toothbrushing education may be effective in improving children’s oral health.
Is Translation an Art, Science or Both?
Authors: Alwazna Rafat
Published: September 2022

Translation, throughout human history, has always been an important means of communication among and between nations. It had existed since the time of the Egyptian Old Kingdom and continued to develop until it has acquired particular forms of translation theory. The present paper presents three different views of scholars and translators on the concept of translation. There are scholars and translators who hold the view that translation is a pure art as it is mainly based on the skill. Conversely, there are those who believe that translation is a pure science as it requires knowledge of the source and target language in addition to familiarity with translation theories. The last type of scholars and translators take the view that translation is a mixture of both art and science as it requires a skill, knowledge of the source and target language in addition to acquaintance of translation theories. The paper will argue that it is the last view which seems valid as evidently supported by the majority of current professional translators who have been questioned on the aforementioned concept.

Published: September 2022

Studying and documenting traditional architecture in Jordan contribute greatly to defining a collective identity as traditional buildings represent an integral part of Jordan's cultural and historical identity. Through employing an ethnoarchaeological and architectural framework of analysis, this study seeks to identify and analyze the intertwined socio-economic, climatic, and environmental factors that had a critical influence on the development of traditional buildings and the accompanied shifts in the architectural style, role, and functionality during the 19th and 20th centuries in Northern Jordan. The rich diversity in building types in this region varies according to the area and people's lifestyles. Moreover, this variety is highly influenced by climate and availability of materials, in addition to building expertise and skills. Indeed, the noticeable changes in traditional architecture tell the cumulative history of the local communities who produced these types. The existence of more advanced architectural types in Northern Jordan demonstrates the influence of types from neighboring areas in Palestine and southern Syria.
Effective Dictionary Use & Academic Performance
Authors: Al Majali Suad
Published: September 2022

The dictionary is an indispensable tool in both learning a foreign language and in translation. It helps learners be autonomous and master the foreign language being learned. The present study investigates English language and translation students’ habits and knowledge regarding dictionary use. Ninety five translation students at Sohar University answered a questionnaire about dictionary use. The data reveals that there is a direct relationship between effective dictionary use and good academic performance. It also shows that most respondents are not effective dictionary users and they lack proper knowledge about the layout and the content of different parts of the dictionary. Given the results of this research, it is imperative that teaching dictionary skills be integrated in most foundation level courses at university. To achieve the sought results, teachers should be oriented and even trained on how to develop students’ dictionary skills.

Religion in European Countries 2002-2018: Is There a Happiness Advantage?
Authors: Hussain M.
Published: September 2022

There is no convergence in empirical literature about the effects of religion on subjective wellbeing although religious denomination is increasingly used as an important explanation of different developments in modern societies.  In this study it is assessed whether religious denomination affects happiness through application of the European Social Survey that covers 2002-2018. Descriptive results indicate a advantage for Protestants. Once we control background factors, this advantage is considerably reduced. Although the advantage is statistically significant it has a low magnitude, and the happiness across religions is practically the same.  In contrast, there is a huge effect of the degree of religiosity, while prayer load and the frequency of visiting places of worship are negligible.  Results are generally stable across survey years and countries.

Published: September 2022

The study investigated lecturers’ frustration in examination script assessment in North Central Nigeria. The descriptive correlation survey design was adopted for the study 322 randomly selected lecturers from 6 polytechnics participated as sample. The sample was made up of 190 males and 132 females (112 senior and 210 junior lecturers). Four instruments (Organizational Frustration Scale, Examination Script Assessment Frustration Scale, Lecturers’ Frustration Reaction Scale and Consequence of Lecturers’ Frustration Scale) were used for data collection. Pearson r was used to test for significance on the relationship between frustration and the 15 independent variables of mediating factors of frustration in examination script assessment. The Zero Order Multiple Correlation was used to test for significance on the relationship between frustration and 11 independent variables on lecturers’ reaction to their frustration in examination script assessment. The t-test was used to test for significance on the level of frustration among the groups of lecturers in examination script assessment. Regression analysis was used to test for significance on the correlation between frustration and the 13 independent variables on the consequences of frustration in examination script assessment. Based on the 15 mediating factors measured, 9 reported high relationship as in poor response to questions, out of point, empty/scanty script, bulky answer, poor handwriting, rough scripts, lobbying/interference, large number of scripts and shortage of time for marking. Also, significant relationship exist between frustration and lecturers’ reaction in the 11 subscales measured as in anger, aggression against students, poor scoring, complain to authorities, succumb to pressure from students and others. A further significant difference was found among the groups of lecturers in their level of frustration. To this extent, female and junior lecturers reported higher levels of frustration than male and senior lecturers in examination script assessment. Lastly, frustration significantly correlated with 13 variables in the subscales measuring the consequences of frustration in examination script assessment as in worry over 50% examination success rate, poor results, students’ agitation, stress and disciplinary actions on lecturers among others. It was recommended among others that polytechnic authorities should organize orientation programmes for fresh students on how to approach examination at the beginning of their programme and for lecturers generally; but target the female and junior lecturers more on how to deal with frustration in examination script assessment among others.

Published: September 2022

Este artigo versa sobre uma pesquisa de mestrado desenvolvida pelas autoras no ano de 2020 e 2021 no cenário do ensino híbrido devido a COVID-19. A pesquisa busca investigar os significados produzidos por alunos do 8° ano do ensino fundamental diante de uma abordagem pedagógica relacionada a História da Matemática no estudo de Poliedros de Platão e da Relação de Euler. O solo epistemológico é constituído pelo Modelo dos Campos Semânticos (MCS), segundo Romulo Lins, junto com a historiografia da matemática como vertente metodológica no ensino da matemática. Durante a prática pedagógica os alunos puderam ter uma visão de criação humana desses objetos matemáticos, pois fugimos da abordagem dita convencional, isto é, de trabalhar uma matemática a partir de resultados a serem memorizados e aplicados. Em vez disso, viabilizamos uma visão sobre como o conteúdo foi desenvolvido no passado por diversas pessoas e momentos, considerando a história como promotora de atitudes e de valores.

Published: September 2022

Notre étude s’intéresse à la prise en charge des malentendus didactiques dans l’enseignement-apprentissage des mathématiques à la charnière primaire/collège. Il s’agira de voir comment les enseignants prennent-ils en compte les changements de paradigmes dans l’enseignement de la géométrie à travers leurs activités de classe au niveau de la transition élémentaire-collège. L’étude s’appuie sur un travail de terrain et les éléments de réponse proposés sont issus de l’analyse d’organisations didactiques réalisées par les enseignants au cours de leçons de géométrie et d’un questionnaire qui leur a été adressé. Les résultats ont montré entre autres que les enseignants de l’Elémentaire comme ceux du Moyen n’utilisent pas souvent les praxéologies idoines dans la mise en œuvre des activités géométriques.
Ononin Alleviates Sublesional Bone Loss and Inflammation Following Spinal Cord Injury in Rats by Regulating Adenosine 5′-Monophosphate-Activated Protein Kinase Signaling Pathway

Published: September 2022

Inhibition of bone loss is one of the ways to alleviate motor dysfunction caused by spinal cord injury, a lifelong and lifechanging injury. Isoflavone from legumes that include ononin, Calycosin-7-O-β-Glucoside, and others have been shown to have potential for the treatment of orthopedic diseases. While there are potentials for ononin to improve the motor function of spinal cord injury, studies on the subject are lacking. To this end, we examined the ameliorative role of ononin in an animal model of spinal cord injury. Our results show the ononin reduced inflammatory response, decreased femoral bone loss, and promoted osteoblast formation in rats with spinal cord injury through promotion of adenosine 5′′-monophosphate-activated protein kinase signaling pathway.

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE), hydrolyzes acetylcholine to choline and acetate, thereby terminating this neurotransmitter effect at cholinergic synapses. Therefore, AChE inhibition is used for counterbalance the cholinergic deficit in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients. In the present work, in order to find new plant acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, the hydroalcoholic extracts from seventeen medicinal plant species were screened for their acetylcholinesterase inhibition activity, as well as total phenolic (TPC) and flavonoids contents (TFC) and antioxidant activity using ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) assay, and their ability to inhibit lipid peroxidation. The results revealed that Rumex acetosa, Taraxacum officinaleand Hypericum perforatumextracts possessing the highest TPC and TFC, were the most effective in terms of ORAC antioxidant activity, and acetylcholinesterase inhibition, in addition to their ability to inhibit liposomes peroxidation, suggesting that those plant species may provide a substantial source of secondary metabolites, which act as natural antioxidants and acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, and may be beneficial in the treatment of AD.
