Time and Friendship in the Corona Pandemic: Relationship-Making Between Middle-Class Migrant Women in Norway
Authors: Kochaniewicz Agata
Published: January 2022

The pandemic’s rupture in people’s lives was felt in a particular way among foreign-born middle-class women in Trondheim. In the situation of unexpected (im)mobility and anxieties related to the pandemic, the lack of close relationships in the local context, was significantly felt. Despite digital acceleration, that was witnessed with pandemic, it highlighted the centrality of local presence and physicality of relations. The pandemic created a situation in which women realised the importance of having friends in the local community to cope with the restrictions and triggered a necessity for the otherwise highly mobile individuals to establish new relationships and explore the local environment. In this article, I discuss the formation of such relationships and the role of social media platforms, more specifically the role of a local social media-based initiative for mobile women with diverse cultural backgrounds. I argue that ‘affective time’ of pandemic created temporalities for forming a community for sharing sufferings, security, and joyful distractions from the crisis. This article considers meaning and experiences of friendship under condition of uncertainty and how relationship-making shape migrant’s woman engagement with the present. I follow a methodology of friendship, developed by Tillmann-Healy (2003), as a useful tool to research friendship-making practices and specifically in times of crisis.
Waiting for Immigration to Come. The Case of Lodz
Authors: Gońda Marcin
Published: January 2022

The paper discusses the development and implementation of local policy measures towards stabilisation and facilitation of migrant settlement in Lodz at the time of a dynamic increase of immigration into Poland that has taken place in recent years. The narrative, institutional and practical dimensions of urban policy in this domain are under further analysis. The immigration, mainly from Ukraine, is presented by local authorities as a chance to mitigate the advanced depopulation processes affecting the city of Lodz, and they undertake various institutional initiatives to encourage Ukrainian immigrants to settle for good. However, in reality the inflow of immigrant is not considered to be a burning issue. It is seen as a one of many social challenges the city has to cope with and therefore no separate integration instruments have been offered to immigrants. Newcomers are seen as a (temporary) addition to labour force shortages rather than one of the pillars for longterm developments of the city of Lodz.
Concultural Practices of Young Ukrainians as a Challenge for the Intercultural Openness of Warsaw
Authors: Markowska-Manista Urszula , Pietrusińska Marta Jadwiga
Published: January 2022

Institutional intercultural openness is a crucial part of urban inclusion policy towards migrants. In cities with a long history of social and cultural diversity such as Berlin, London or Amsterdam, intercultural openness provides migrants with full or partial participation, initiating activities in the metropolitan space, access to public resources, and social security. In Warsaw, a relatively new inflow of economic migrants from Ukraine, who constitute a large and heterogeneous group, has necessitated changes in municipal cultural and integration policies to facilitate the needs of the new group of recipients. In our article, we focus on results from 91 interviews with Ukrainian students living in Warsaw conducted between 2019 and 2020. We analyse whether, how and why young immigrants from Ukraine use the offer of Warsaw’s cultural institutions; what their expectations are and how their cultural participation is connected with their acculturation and integration. Our research shows that despite the fact that Warsaw tends to build up its culturally open policy for diverse participants, it is not adjusted to the needs of young Ukrainians. As a result, this new diaspora begins to create its own conculture (not to be confused with counterculture). We understand this phenomenon as a set of cultural practices initiated by a minority group of migrants in their new place of residence, which result from the national cultural script of this group. Through these practices, this group cultivates the community, without any connection to the dominant (national) culture of the wider society they belong to or in the space of which its members live. On the one hand, the diversification of a municipal cultural offer allows migrants to find their preferred places and events within Polish culture, although on the other hand, it creates a space for the development of concultural practices that can lead to ghettoisation.

There are farms (individual and family) an important component agricultural sector of Ukraine’s economy and effective 224 mechanism that promotes increasing employment and income growth in rural areas, involvement investment resources in agricultural production [1]. Domestic farmers, despite certain economic problems, provide more efficient use of agricultural resources, as it is fully implemented here economic interest the producers themselves, who are mainly owners of these resources, or on lease terms use some of them. In recent years, there has been a negative downward trend in Ukraine number of farms. The main reason for this situation is domestic agrarian experts call the lack of potential farmers start-up capital, on the basis which it would be possible to build an efficiently functioning agricultural production.
Fronteras coloniales y relaciones interétnicas en el Golfo de Paria, siglos XVI-XVIII
Authors: Tiapa Francisco
Published: January 2022

A diferencia del resto de los territorios de América, la conquista de los pueblos indígenas del Oriente de Venezuela fue sumamente tardía. Esto fue especialmente patente en la frontera de Paria, donde se presentó el contraste de haber sido la primera región en tener contacto con los europeos en 1498 y donde la colonización no fue posible hasta finales del siglo XVIII. Tal peculiaridad se debió principalmente a las estrategias de resistencia de sus habitantes, de una manera coherente con sus formas de organización sociopolítica. Tales organizaciones estuvieron integradas en sistemas interétnicos de una gran complejidad étnica y cultural que, además, trascendieron el alcance perceptivo de los europeos. En este trabajo se presenta una reconstrucción diacrónica de las transformaciones de las fronteras coloniales en la región de Paria. El énfasis se ubica sobre las relaciones políticas alrededor del control del territorio. El rango temporal abarca desde el siglo XVI hasta el XVIII, con énfasis en los momentos coyunturales del proceso de colonización de la región de Paria.

This study aims to determine the ability to write an English analytical exposition text in class XI Religion 2 MAN 2 Polewali. Therefore, the main problem is how the students' ability to write analytical exposition texts in class XI Agama 2. This research is quantitative and descriptive. The population in this study were students of class XI Religion 2 MAN Polewali. This means that the population is 15 students, and this population is used as a sample of 15 students. In collecting the data, the researcher used a writing test. Students are asked to make an analytical exposition text. Analysis of student score data found that students' ability in writing analytical exposition texts was still lacking in class XI (15 students). In this case, in class XI, Religion 2, there were no students who got "very good" scores. Six students got the same student's work. The results of this study indicate that the ability to write analytical exposition texts is not capable with students' writing results below the average, and the researchers also found that students' writing results are considered impure because of the indications that students take them from the internet. This is indicated by the use of vocabulary used in addition to the results of interviews with the teacher. The researcher found that there was no guidance from the teacher to the students on how to write analytically. The teacher's exposition text only directs students to look for the structure of the analytical exposition text.

Published: January 2022

En este trabajo, se presenta el diseño de un molino compacto para triturar envases de polietileno tereftalato (PET), con el objetivo de que en una siguiente etapa se pueda implementar de manera física y hacer frente a la problemática que se tiene por la generación y uso excesivo de este tipo de envases, que si bien es cierto ofrece una gran ventaja para el envasado de bebidas, cuando no se les da un buen tratamiento  se convierten en residuos que constituyen focos importantes de contaminación. Dentro del Instituto Tecnológico Superior P'urhépecha (ITSP), se observa la presencia de estos residuos en un promedio de 5Kg diarios, a pesar de la implementación de la normativa NOM-ISO14000, por tal motivo se pensó en una solución para dar un tratamiento integral a estos residuos, siendo la primera etapa el diseño del molino, debido a que en la actualidad solo existen molinos o trituradoras de gran escala cuya adquisición es costosa. Por otro lado, en el mercado existen gran variedad de paquetes computacionales para el dibujo de piezas mecánicas, como por ejemplo el Autocad, sin embargo se optó por el uso del software SolidWorks, porque además de que permitió el dibujo de las piezas mecánicas de una manera relativamente sencilla, también brindó la opción de realizar un ensamble entre ellas, así como  realización de cálculos de elemento finito, observando de esta manera las condiciones de operación del molino, permitiendo así contar con una  validación del diseño, lo cual servirá para su implementación física. Los materiales utilizados en el diseño, son de uso convencional y de fácil adquisición y por su tamaño puede resultar económicamente accesible para su implementación dentro del ITSP o bien en alguna otra institución educativa pública o privada.

Published: January 2022

Limited research on Social Media (SM) marketing by Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) primarily focuses on understanding important practices followed to enhance students’ engagement on SM or its association with different branding constructs. However, there is dearth of research that can guide regarding practices negatively influencing SM based communication between HEIs and Students. This research explores these limiting factors affecting optimal students’ engagement on SM. A qualitative exploratory research methodology was adopted based on in-depth interviews and Netnography. 25 interviews were conducted and 6 months content analysis of Facebook account of selected HEIs was carried out for Netnography. The findings revealed different content and non-content factors negatively influencing students’ engagement on SM. Content related factors included poor design of SM content, lack of informality, inconsistent content posting and content posting during office hours. Whereas non-content related factors include selective platform presence, selective response to students' queries, fearful attitude towards official SM and absence of incentives for students to engage on SM. All these factors are believed to affect different stages of Customer Engagement including Connection, Interaction, Loyalty and Advocacy. Findings of this study have enabled gaining empirical knowledge regarding negative practices on SM, highlighted above, that shall be avoided to attain optimal results for SM marketing communication and learning how these practices affect different stages of students’ engagement on SM.
The Job Security of Employees of Financially Distressed Companies
Authors: Loubser Mieka E , Garbers Christoph
Published: January 2022

This contribution considers the legislative regulation of the job security (which boils down to preservation of employment) of employees in case of financial distress of a company. It juxtaposes the legislative regulation of four interrelated processes a company may engage in where it finds itself in financial distress, namely a voluntary internal restructuring (especially retrenchment), the transfer of the business or part of the business, business rescue and winding up. The legislative endeavour to preserve the job security of employees in all these processes is described and analysed. The discussion shows that room exists for companies to circumvent this protection and, to the extent that the protection does apply, that it remains difficult for employees to ultimately challenge the substance of decisions negatively affecting their job security. The main protection for employees in all these processes is procedural in nature and to be found in their rights to be informed of and consulted prior to decisions negatively affecting them. In this regard, business rescue is the most employee-friendly process. Participation in this process by employees, however, requires a fine balance as it may be self-defeating and lead to winding up and the permanent loss of jobs.

Semi-bionic Extraction Process and Antibacterial Activity against Salmonella goose of Compound Chinese Medicine Dahuang Qinyu San
Authors: Françoise Hatungimana , Wang Hongjun
Published: January 2022

Various classical Chinese medicines have shown their efficiency in curing various infectious diseases. Among them, Dahuang Qinyu
San (DQS) found in the Chinese Veterinary Pharmacopoeia is composed of three kinds of Chinese herbs: rhubarb, Scutellaria
baicalensis, and Outtuynia cordata. Due to its urgent need in human health and its effectiveness, a semi-bionic extract of Dahuang
Qinyu San (SEDQS) was studied to evaluate its optimal extraction conditions and investigate its antibacterial activity against
Salmonella goose. The U5 (53) uniform design method was used to investigate the effects of three independent variables, including
pH value (X1), solid-to-liquid ratio (X2), and extraction time (X3), on the composite score (Y) of the extract rate and the MIC, using the
semi-bionic extraction process. The broth microdilution method was also used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration
(MIC) against Salmonella goose. After 30 minutes of extraction, the optimal conditions for SEDQS were found to be pH 8.3 and a solidto-liquid ratio of 1: 40. Under these optimal conditions, the extraction rate was 43.66 % and the MIC was 9.10 mg/ml, which indicates antibacterial efficacy against Salmonella goose.

Published: January 2022

Flavonoids are secondary plant metabolites normally found as pigmented compounds in plants. Quercetin and rutin are two
important and commonly found flavonoids in nature and exhibit wide pharmacological effects such as antioxidant, anticarcinogenic,
antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and hepatoprotective activities as well as antimicrobial activity. In this study, quercetin and
rutin content is being quantified in the plant extracts of Centella asiatica and Houttuynia cordata and considerable amounts of these
two flavonoids were depicted. A single beam UV – Spectrophotometer was used to measure the absorbance of the standard as well
as test solutions. Calibration curves were constructed for standard quercetin and rutin in such a way that x-axis denotes concentration
and the y-axis denotes the absorbance. The calibration curves showed linearity at concentrations 5-25 ?g /ml of quercetin and rutin
respectively with a good correlation coefficient (r) of 0.99 for both the curves. The absorbance of the two test extracts was obtained
from the calibration curve and respective concentrations of quercetin and rutin for the two extracts were calculated. The amount of
quercetin and rutin present was expressed as Total Flavonoid Content (TFC) i.e. the amount of the flavonoid in ?g present per mg of
the respective plant extract. The quercetin content in both the plant extracts was found to be more (315.8 in Houttuynia cordata;
487.6 in Centella asiatica) than the content of rutin (152.2 in Houttuynia cordata; 171.0 in Centella asiatica).

Published: January 2022

The aim of the present work was to develop and evaluate of oral microsphere of Levetiracetam to reduce the frequency of dosing by
achieving 12 hours sustained drug release. The microsphere formed will also mask the bitter taste of the drug and thus increase the
compatibility of the drug with the patients. Levetiracetam is a second-generation anti-epileptic agent useful in the treatment of partial
onset and monoclinic seizures. It has a short half life of 7 hours and its recommended dose is 500 mg twice a daily. Microspheres are
suitable drug delivery system for such drug candidate. For these reasons it is must to formulate a suitable dosage form by which it
will be easier to administer the dose and also to get a sustained drug release hence microsphere was prepared using solvent
evaporation method. Preformulation studies were carried out to rule out any drug polymer interaction by FTIR technique. In this
study formulation was done solvent evaporation method using different percentage of HPMC– K 100, HPMC- K 15 and coated with
Eudragit S100. Drug, polymer and physical mixture were evaluated for in compatibility study by Fourier transforms infrared
spectroscopy. All the batches of microsphere (F1 to F5) were subjected for in vitro dissolution. Microsphere was evaluated for surface
morphology, micromeritics properties, entrapment efficiency and in vitro drug release. The entrapment efficiency of microsphere
ranged from 71.16%-73.66%. The size of the prepared microsphere ranges between 42.8 µm to 55.64 µm which was found to increase
with increase in RPM at same polymer ratio. Micromeritics studies showed good flow properties. Among the microsphere batches, F5 was observed as an optimized batch as its formulation with polymer i.e. Eudragit-S 100 and HPMC-K 100 was found to be release in
sustained manner. The F-5 batch shows is 79.45% drug release at the end of 7 hrs and its stability study indicate that these
microspheres were stable at selected temperature and humidity

Published: January 2022

The government aims to make education accessible to all the people of the country can be fulfilled if the online education system is developed enough for all. The country may be benefited by the use of the right type of education system. Learners and teachers get advantages if the education system is reformed using digital technologies like Automatic Call Tree (ACT)-based modalities. Such types of education system has key significant in the pandemic situation which have been facing since two years. This study is assumed to examine the Automatic Call Tree (ACT) based modalities and their utilization for connection between students, teachers, parents and school management committee; and some recommendations are made concerning online education. The main information source for this study is primary. Instruments used are questionnaires, interview with video recording, phone call, and class room observation. The preliminary finding showed that there is a scarcity of orientations of online education to parents, students, teachers, and administrators, though all were found to realize its importance. Likewise, major problems found are lack of digital devices, regular power supply and backup; and network connectivity. Based on the opinions of the respondents and observations of the situations of the different parts of the country running online education during this pandemic period, many recommendations are made. The country needs strategic plans and policy to make online education accessible to all learners specially in urban areas of Nepal and this will ensure online education smooth. It concludes that the Automatic Call Tree (ACT)-based modalities became fruitful for some schools of Nepal during Corona Virus (COVID)-19 pandemic. But many of them are facing different problems while conducting online classes, examination and result processing. Providing practical knowledge and skills about engineering, mathematics, health science, account, computer science subjects are very difficult and to examine them.

Published: January 2022

Cloud computing in governments has become an attraction to help enhance service delivery. Improving service delivery, productivity, transparency, and reducing costs necessitates governments to use cloud services. Since the publication of a review paper on cloud adoption elements in e-governments in 2015, cloud computing in governments has evolved into discussions of cloud service adoption factors. This paper concentrates on the adoption of cloud computing in governments, the benefits, models, and methodologies utilized, and the analysis techniques. Studies from 2010 up to 2020 have been investigated for this paper. This study has critically peer-reviewed articles that concentrate on cloud computing for electronic governments (e-Governments). It exhibits a systematic evaluation of the empirical studies focusing on cloud adoption studies in e-governments. This review work further categorizes the articles and exhibits novel research opportunities from the themes and unexhausted areas of these articles. From the reviewed articles, it has been observed that most of the articles have employed the quantitative approach, with few utilizing qualitative and mixed-method approaches. The results reveal that cloud computing adoption could help solve problems in learning, such as infrastructure issues, cost issues, and improve service delivery and transparency. This review gives more information on the future directions and areas that need attention, like the trust of cloud computing in e-governments.

Authors: Moroz Vira , Nykytiuk Yurii
Published: January 2022

Recently, there has been a massive drying of conifers all over the world. In North America and Siberia, there are millions of hectares of shrunken plantings; in Europe, pines and firs have been drying up over the past two decades. Furthermore, considerable damage is caused to woody plants by phyto-pest and phyto-diseases, since mass reproduction of Ips typographus Linnaeus, Ips acuminatus Gyllenhal has been observed in Europe in recent years, Dendroctonus micans Kud – in North America, Polygraphus proximus Blandford – in East Asia. Nematodes also cause significant damage to pine forests. Among phyto-diseases, Heterobasidion annosum (Fr.) Bref. harmfully affects Pinus sylvestris L. The appearance of foci of shrunken trees in different parts of the globe indicates the global nature of processes associated with cyclical planetary processes and climate change. This study describes climate changes in the research region for 1961-2020. According to the analysis, it was found that for 2009-2020, considerable damage to pine plantations in Zhytomyr Polissia is caused among needle-eating insects – Panolis flammea Denis & Schiffermuller, Diprion pini L., Neodiprion sertifer Geoffroy; among other pests – Aradus cinnamomeus Panz, Dendrolimus pini L., Bupalus piniarius L. The greatest harmful effect that pineries have recently sustained has been caused by Diprion pini L. It was also found out that among phyto-diseases suffered by the pine forests, significant damage has been done by Heterobasidion annosum (Fr.) Bref., with the damaged area of 13.0-14.2 thousand hectares. Hydrothermal analysis was performed for 2009-2020. The influence of solar activity on the number of phyto-pest and diseases is analysed. This paper provides the estimate of the amount of CO2 emissions is given for 2009-2020. It was found that since 2014, the amount of carbon dioxide emissions has decreased from 1.5 million tonnes to 0.6 million tonnes. Correlation analysis of all indicators indicated a high mutual influence between the area of trees damaged by insect pest, root sponge, the Wolf number, and CO2 emissions to the environment.

To substantiate the range of products of the enterprise there is a need to assess the potential of products in terms of the company’s ability to manufacture these products, consumer opportunities to meet their needs for these products, and market opportunities to ensure a strategic position among similar products. The study used structural-logical and causal methods of analysis to determine the structure of the novelty of goods. The numerical method of multi-criteria decision making TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) was used to rank the product range of new products according to the level of importance of novelty. Weights of individual components to assess the importance level of novelty in the enterprise were determined by the method of analysis of hierarchies of T.L. Saati. The study used the classification of novelty by its functional focus, according to which consumer, market, and manufacturing novelty of goods are distinguished. The importance of novelty for the manufacturer is the conformity of the product to its innovative development strategy, determination of its place in the market, and prospects for further activities. The importance of the novelty of a new product for the company is proposed to be defined as a measure of the importance of the novelty level of the product for the development of the optimal product range in the product innovative policy of the enterprise. To assess the level of significance of the novelty of goods, criteria of novelty by its types were proposed. According to the results of the study it was found that industrial novelty characterizes the level of use of new technologies in the enterprise, market – the position of a new product on the market among analogues, and consumer – the level and way to meet consumer needs. Further research should relate to the development of appropriate guidelines for the formation of product range and its management based on the assessment of the level of significance of novelty

The use of organic minerals in the form of nanocompounds as a substitute for mineral inorganic salts is promising, but insufficiently studied. Therefore, the purpose of the search was to determine the influence of drinking sulfur citrate and sodium sulfate 14 days before insemination and up to 20th day of lactation on the reproductive capacity of rabbits and the preservation of the offspring up to 40th day of life. The research was carried out on rabbits of the second breed of Hyla breed in “Horlytsia”. Сontrol group were fed without restriction complete ration granular feed with free access to water. 1st experimental group were fed with the ration of the control group and during the day were watered with sulfur citrate, at the rate of 8 μg S/kg of body weight. II experimental group were fed with the ration of the control group and with water was given sodium sulfate in the amount of 40 mg S/kg of body weight. Additives to rabbits were watered 14 days before insemination and for up to 20 days of lactation. It was found that on the first day of life of young rabbits their number in the I and II experimental groups was respectively higher by 8.5 and 4.2% compared to the control. The number of young rabbits at 20 and 40 days of age in the I and II experimental groups was respectively higher by 10.4 and 4.4% and 14.0 and 4.6% compared to the control group. The weight of rabbits in the nest of the II experimental group at 1, 20 and 40 days of life was respectively higher by 2.8; 6.1 and 7.0%, which is based on the average mass of one rabbit for these periods and amounted to 1.1, respectively; 2.7 and 4.3% compared with animals in the control group. The average amount of milk produced by rabbits of I and II experimental groups was respectively higher by 10.2% and 6.6% per day and for 20 days of the lactation period compared to the control. The preservation of rabbits in the I and II experimental groups was respectively higher by 6.4 and 6.4% and 3.6 and 4.4% at 20 and 40 days of life of young rabbits compared to the control group. The results of the research indicate the possibility of additional use in the ration of rabbits of the addition of sulfur citrate in the amount of 8 μg S/kg of body weight to increase metabolism and reproductive capacity during periods of increased physiological load

The article is devoted to scientific and applied research on the problem of the formation and implementation of a universal, efficient and effective public management system for the development of railway transport in the changing socio-economic and political conditions of Ukraine. The definition of the category “public management of railway transport” and the problems of the railway industry as a whole was clarified. A universal, efficient and effective system of public management for the development of railway transport has been formed, containing all the necessary aspects: entrance to the system, working subsystems, exit, external environment, feedback, as well as the components and elements that are part of them. It has been proven that entrance into the system is the defining management and organizational link of the entire system. The main directions of introduction and development of elements of working subsystems are analyzed. Proposals on operational and strategic directions of improvement of public management of railway industry development in the following areas are presented: improvement of legislative and regulatory framework; full separation of the functions of public administration from the economic functions of railway enterprises; the development and implementation of a new public tariff management system; development of a progressive approach to the organization and management of passenger transportation and the introduction of a public administration system in the international security. It was concluded that the effective operation of the developed system and the successful introduction of areas of improvement of public management for the development of the railway industry will achieve the following results: create conditions for the development of free competition in the industry; increase the competitiveness of the railway industry in Ukrainian and international markets; achieve the desired indicators of railway industry efficiency and innovation growth

Finding location for visually challenged people around the campus is difficult task and also detecting the obstacles for visually challenged people needs assistance. Based on the persistent requirements, navigation system is provided to the physically challenged employees, students or guests. The technology adopted in this work is visually challenged mobile device. The mobile device is enhanced with Radio Frequency Identification reader and tags, voice recognition and text to speech using Wi-Fi. It locates the visually challenged people by using GPS even though the internet connection is not available. RFID tag is placed within the campus path through Wi-Fi routers, which will be helpful to predict the location within the campus. The system adopts a text to speech and voice recognition to communicate with blind people to move forward to reach their destination within the campus without any help for anyone unless the situation is in emergency. This proposed system will be helpful for those people who were in needy when they were inside the campus.
