There are many possible definitions of derivatives, here we present some and present one that we have called generalized that allows us to put some of the others as a particular case of this but, what interests us is to determine that there is an infinite number of possible definitions of fractional derivatives, all are correct as differential operators each of them must be properly defined its algebra. We introduce a generalized version of fractional derivative that extends the existing ones in the literature. To those extensions it is associated a differentiable operator and a differential ring and applications that shows the advantages of the generalization. We also review the different definitions of fractional derivatives and it is shown how the generalized version contains the previous ones as a particular cases.

Published: October 2021

A q-rung orthopair fuzzy matrix (q-ROFM), an extension of the Pythagorean fuzzy matrix (PFM) and intuitionistic fuzzy matrix (IFM), is very helpful in representing vague information that occurs in real-world circumstances. In this paper we define some algebraic operations, such as max-min, min-max, complement, algebraic sum, algebraic product, scalar multiplication \((nA)\), and exponentiation \((A^n)\). We also investigate the algebraic properties of these operations. Furthermore, we define two operators, namely the necessity and possibility to convert q-ROFMs into an ordinary fuzzy matrix, and discuss some of their basic algebraic properties. Finally, we define a new operation(@) on q-ROFMs and discuss distributive laws in the case where the operations of \(\oplus_{q}, \otimes_{q}, \wedge_{q}\) and \(\vee_{q}\) are combined each other.

Small-scale Growers’ Struggle against Marginalization in the Cotton Value Chain
Authors: Seimu Somo M. L.
Published: October 2021

This article analyses the marginalization of the native small-scale cotton growers during British colonial rule in the Western Cotton Growing Area (WCGA), Tanzania, and their struggle against it. Marginalization was practiced mainly by Indian cotton traders for three decades to maximize profit at the expense of natives who farmed the crop. The Indian traders who were licensed by the colonial authority to buy and export marginalized the growers through underpaying and cheating on them. From the 1930s local chiefs and their subjects (growers) began to protest against this situation, but were ignored by the colonial authority. At the end of the 1940s, growers formed groups which took initiatives that led to minimized marginalization with limited support from some colonial officials. Minimized marginalization did not imply control of the cotton value chain. With the support of native traders, local growers fought on until co-operatives were formed, which allowed them to gain the upper hand over the Indian merchants in the cotton value chain.

Kur’ân-ı Kerîm, belâgatın en üst seviyesinde yer alan ilâhî bir şaheserdir. Onun bu zirvede bulunmasını sağlayan en önemli faktörlerden birisi, birçok söz sanatını ve edebî güzelliği barındırmasıdır. Bu husus, onu ilâhî ve beşerî bütün eserler arasında ayrıcalıklı kılan ve olağanüstü bir metin yapan en önemli etkenler arasında yer almaktadır. Kur’ân-ı Kerîm’de kullanılan edebî sanatlardan birisi tenkît metodudur. Bir nükteye dayanarak alternatif ifadeler arasında belli bir ifadeyi seçme olan tenkît, bizi âyetlerdeki gizli mesajların izini sürmeye sevk etmektedir. Böylece ilâhî kelâmdaki anlam zenginliğinin ortaya çıkmasına vesile olmaktadır. Tenkît metodunun en ayırıcı özelliği, barındırdığı nükte unsurudur. Bu sanatın bel kemiğini oluşturan ince nüktelerin varlığı sebebiyle cümlede herhangi bir eksiklik kalmayacak şekilde bir anlam bütünlüğü meydana gelmektedir. Tenkît, ufuk açıcı bu özelliği sayesinde insanları ilâhî sözlerde derin bir şekilde düşünmeye yöneltmektedir. Böylece Kur’ân-ı Kerîm’deki her bir tenkît örneğini inceleyerek onun harikulade bir kitap olma özelliğini daha iyi kavramakta ve özüne bir adım daha yaklaşmaktayız. Bu çalışmamızda, ilk olarak tenkîtin sözlük ve terim anlamını açıklamaya çalıştık. Ardından bunun Arapçadaki uygulamalarına yer verdik. Daha sonra âyetlerdeki bazı tenkît örneklerini incelemeye tabi tuttuk. Bundaki amacımız, bir nebze de olsa, Kur’ân-ı Kerîm’in mucizevî yönünün gün yüzüne çıkmasına katkı sunmaktır. Bu açıdan baktığımızda çalışmamızın önem arz ettiğini söyleyebiliriz.
Public Opinion Toward Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Zhang Baobao
Published: October 2021

This chapter in the Oxford Handbook of AI Governance synthesizes and discusses research on public opinion toward artificial intelligence (AI). This chapter synthesizes and discusses research on public opinion toward artificial intelligence (AI). Understanding citizens' and consumers' attitudes toward AI is important from a normative standpoint because the public is a major stakeholder in shaping the future of the technology and should have a voice in policy discussions. Furthermore, the research could help us anticipate future political and consumer behavior. Survey data worldwide show that the public is increasingly aware of AI; however, they -- unlike AI researchers -- tend to anthropomorphize AI. Demographic differences correlate with trust in AI in general: those living in East Asia have higher levels of trust in AI, while women and those of lower socioeconomic status across different regions have lower levels of trust. Surveys that focus on particular AI applications, including facial recognition technology, personalization algorithms, lethal autonomous weapons, and workplace automation, add complexity to this research topic. I conclude this chapter by recommending four new topics for future studies: 1) institutional trust in actors building and deploying AI systems, 2) the impact of knowledge and experience on attitudes toward AI, 3) heterogeneity in attitudes toward AI, and 4) the relationship between attitudes and behavior.
The possibility of superradiation without the Penrose process
Authors: Chen Wen-Xiang
Published: October 2021

In the traditional theory, it is impossible to produce superradiation in a straight time and space without a Penrose process. We know that similar entities can be artificially created by formulas that exist in the algebraic field. We have found that when a certain potential is created, there will be a superradiation phenomenon without the Penrose process in flat space and time.
Calibrating Einstein field equations using rippling 3-Riemannian structure for gravity with dark matter effects
Authors: Naarayan Shivam S
Published: October 2021

The paper presents modifications to Einstein field equations (EFEs) based on the model proposed in the working paper, 'Rippling 3-Riemannian structure describing gravity with dark matter effects'. The model proposes matter and energy are separate entities and energy is a property of three dimensional probabilistic structure spanning space. Mass interacts by binding energy density causing variations in length and time scales, mathematically equivalent to spacetime curvature in general relativity. Gravity is thus described as flow and distribution of energy density. Bounded energy density is the additional source of gravity leading to dark matter observations. The results of the model proposes two EFEs for large and largest scales and further predicts dependence of cosmological constant on space and time coordinates.

Published: October 2021

NITI Aayog undertook this novel exercise on the assessment of the performance of District Hospitals across the country for the financial year 2017-18 in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, NABH and WHO Country Office for India. The assessment framework covers 10 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) across the domains of Structure and Output. A total of 707 district hospitals across all States and Union Territories participated in the performance assessment. The framework classifies hospitals in three categories namely Small Hospitals (less than or equal to 200 beds), Mid-sized Hospitals (between 201-300 beds) and Large Hospitals (more than 300 beds). Three top-performing district hospitals in each of the hospital categories across the 10 KPIs were identified and their best practices collected and documented. In all, 75 district hospitals across 24 States and Union Territories emerged as top performers on indicators ranging from availability of beds, medical and paramedical staff, core health and diagnostic testing services to outputs such as bed occupancy rate and number of surgeries per surgeon etc. We believe that this country-wide assessment of district hospitals will serve as a valuable resource for them to learn best practices from each other in a spirit to improve their performance. It will also provide an opportunity to showcase progress.

Published: October 2021

The impacts of volcanic eruptions on climate are increasingly well understood, but the mirror question of how climate changes affect volcanic systems and processes, which we term “climate-volcano impacts”, remains understudied. Accelerating research on this topic is critical in view of rapid climate change driven by anthropogenic activities. Over the last two decades, we have improved our understanding of how mass distribution on the Earth’s surface, in particular changes in ice and water distribution linked to glacial cycles, affects mantle melting, crustal magmatic processing and eruption rates. New hypotheses on the impacts of climate change on eruption processes have also emerged, including how eruption style and volcanic plume rise are affected by changing surface and atmospheric conditions, and how volcanic sulfate aerosol lifecycle, radiative forcing and climate impacts are modulated by background climate conditions. Future improvements in past climate reconstructions and current climate observations, volcanic eruption records and volcano monitoring, and numerical models will contribute to boost research on climate-volcano impacts. Important mechanisms remain to be explored, such as how changes in atmospheric circulation and precipitation will affect the volcanic ash lifecycle. Fostering a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to climate-volcano impacts is critical to gain a full picture of how ongoing climate changes may affect the environmental and societal impacts of volcanic activity.
Anxiety selectively increases information-seeking in response to large changes
Authors: Charpentier Caroline J , Cogliati Dezza Irene , Vellani Valentina , Globig Laura K. , Gädeke Maria , Sharot Tali
Published: October 2021

Seeking information when anxious may help reduce uncertainty and guide decision-making. If information is negative or confusing, however, this may increase anxiety further. Information gathered under anxiety can thus be beneficial and/or damaging. Here, we examine whether anxiety leads to a general increase in information-seeking, or rather to situation-dependent changes in the type of information sought. In two controlled laboratory studies, we show that both trait and induced anxiety selectively increased information-seeking. In particular, anxiety did not enhance the general tendency to seek information, nor did it alter the valence of the information gathered. Rather anxiety increased information-seeking specifically in response to large changes in the environment. This was true even when the cause of the anxiety was not directly related to the information sought. As anxious individuals have been shown to have problems learning in changing environments, greater information-seeking in such environments may be an adaptive compensatory mechanism.

Authors: Gkinopoulos Theofilos , Uysal Mete Sefa
Published: October 2021

Aims: This paper examines the association between ostracism and endorsement of COVID-19 conspiracy theories, the mediating role of sense of vulnerability, self-uncertainty and individual/collective narcissism and the moderating role of conspiracy mentality. Methods: Participants were recruited in the United Kingdom via quote sampling (N=895). Power analysis and sample size checks were conducted beforehand. A cross-sectional design was deployed and in subsequent analyses we controlled for demographic variables.Results: Ostracism positively predicted endorsement of COVID-19 conspiracy theories and this association was mediated by sense of vulnerability, self-uncertainty, meaning seek, individual and collective narcissism. Furthermore, conspiracy mentality moderated the relationship between ostracism and COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs. Conclusion: Our study expands on the still very few and scarce research on ostracism and conspiracy theories and building on existing findings, it explores further underlying personality and existential variables that explain this relationship. Theoretical and societal implications are discussed.

Migration processes, especially the migration of young people and labor resources, are among the important factors that affect the socio-economic situation both in the country as a whole and in its regions.The State pays considerable attention to migration issues. First of all, to neutralize the negative consequences and enhance the positive effect obtained as a result of migration processes, a broad system of national and interstate regulation has been created. However, the analysis shows that mechanisms for regulating youth migration, approaches to regulating educational and labor migration, and in general, migration processes in Kazakhstan need to be refined and improved.
A Patchwork of Femininities: Working-Class Women’s Fluctuating Gender Performances in a Pakistani Market
Authors: Kamran Sidra
Published: October 2021

Scholars have studied multiple femininities across different spaces by attributing variation to cultural/spatial contexts or in the same space by attributing variation to class/race positions. However, we do not yet know how women from the same cultural, class, and race locations may enact multiple femininities in the same context. Drawing on observations and interviews in a women-only bazaar in Pakistan, I show that multiple femininities can exist within the same space and individual. Working-class women workers in Meena Bazaar switched between performances of “pariah femininity” and “hegemonic femininity,” patching together contradictory femininities to secure different types of capitals at the organizational and personal levels. Pariah femininities enabled access to economic capital but typically decreased women’s symbolic capital, whereas hegemonic femininities generated symbolic capital but could block or enable access to economic capital. The concept of a patchwork performance of femininity explains how and why working-class women simultaneously embody idealized and stigmatized forms of femininity. Further, it captures how managerial regimes and personal struggles for class distinction interact to produce contradictory gender performances. By examining gender performances in the context of social stratification, this article explains the structural underpinnings of working-class women’s gendered struggles for respectability and work.
Social Assistance Beneficiaries’ Access to Social Services in a Digitalized Social Assistance System
Authors: Jokela Merita , Kivipelto Minna , Ylikännö Minna
Published: October 2021

Access to social work has become a matter of even higher significance as remote services and the digitalization of public services has increased extensively during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using statistical data on notifications on need for social services in the Finnish social assistance system in 2017 – 2019 and survey data on social work professionals from 2021, we assess how well a “red flag” system identifies social assistance clients in need of municipal social work and how social clients access social services in a system where cash and care are separated.Our findings show that the red flag system primarily identified need for social work in case of financial problems while social and health problems were less often recognized. Thus, the system emphasizes clients’ own knowledge and skills to receive the necessary services. According to our results, social workers are critical about benefit handlers’ ability to recognize need for social work counselling and one fourth of them do no trust that clients in need of support are guided to social work. We argue that the digitalization has affected not only the way clients apply for benefits, but it has also created pressure for new kinds of social work such as outreaching social work, and direct contact with clients who are in danger of falling out of services.

Authors: Feroche Alemu Tadesse
Published: October 2021

The practice of traditional medicine for the control of fertility in most part of South Western Ethiopia is based on the uses of plant medicine for many years. The present study was carried out in female albino rat to explore the abortifacient activity of the Rumex steudelli roots. Pregnant rats weighing 140- 200 g were randomized into 7 groups. Rats were laprotomised on 10th day of pregnancy and the two horns of uteri were examined to determine the implantation sites. The administration of 400 mg/kg body weight of the aqueous extract of Rumex steudelli resulted in 95% abortion. The 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight alcoholic extract showed 100% fetus abortion. The phytochemical screening of the roots of Rumex steudelli revealed the presence of flavonoids, phenolics, alkaloids, steroids, tannins and saponins.

Authors: Kirubanandan S. , Renganathan S.
Published: October 2021

The infection at the wound site is a severe kind of problem and it delays regeneration of epidermis and dermis in the wound and slows wound closure. Due to the secretion of microbial enzymes by wound pathogens, a variety of extracellular matrix proteins were degraded. Synthetic antimicrobial therapy used in the wound management and eradication of pathogens. However, it has many shortcomings such as anti-microbial resistance, cyto-toxicity against host tissue and absence of synergistic activity. In order to overcome these limitations, Pyto-pharmaceuticals extracted from herbal plants were applied to manage the wound infection and treatment. The objective of this work is to evaluate the wound repair and regeneration potential of the fruits of Terminalia bellarica which has a variety of pharmacological activities such as astringent, antiseptic and laxative. The dry fruits of Terminalia bellarica were grounded into powder form using the grinder. Extraction was performed by using Soxhlet apparatus with 95% (v/v) ethanol. The dried extract was dissolved in Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) and used to assay the antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853. An ointment was prepared from the ethanol extract (10% w/w) and assessed for its in vivo wound healing potential on infected rat model by rate of healing, bacterial count, biochemical analysis, and expression of matrix metalloproteinase. In addition to that, the collagen content in the granulation tissue was estimated to comment on wound regeneration potential of the fruits of Terminalia bellarica. The treated group has shown significantly improved wound regeneration and well formed epidermis and dermis in the granulation tissue. Furthermore, Assessment of granulation tissue on every fourth day showed significant reduction in bacterial pathogens CFU with significant elevated level of collagen, hexosamine, uronic acid, in the treated group (P<0.05). The reduced level expression of matrix metalloproteinase expression observed in the treated group by gelatin zymography and the synthesis of substantial amount of collagen in the granulation tissue confirms our in vivo assessment. The results showed the antibacterial and wound healing activities of Terminalia bellarica fruits ointment, necessary for the management of infected open dermal wounds. The isolation of bioactive molecules from Terminalia bellarica fruits and its interaction various cells using cell culture studies would be future work.

Published: October 2021

Colon cancer is the third most common malignant neoplasm in the world and it remains an important cause of deaths, especially in western countries. Its etiology is known to be a combination of hereditary, environmental, dietary factors and lack of physical activity. Chemoprevention through dietary intervention is an emerging option to reduce mortality due to colon cancer. The present study was aimed to investigate the chemopreventive potential of different doses of Ferula asafoetida oleo-gum-resin on 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH) induced rat colon carcinogenesis by evaluating tumor multiplicity, tumor incidence, and tumor size, Serum total sialic acid levels as well as histoarchitecture of colons of rats subjected to various treatment. Rats were randomly divided into six groups. Group I rats served as control. Group 2 rats received DMH (30 mg/kg body weight (bw)) for 16 weeks. Group 3-5 animals received asafoetida daily at a dose level of 5mg/100gm bw, 10mg/100gm bw and 20mg/100gm bw respectively along with weakly DMH injections. Group 6 rats received asafoetida daily (20mg/100g bw daily) for 16 weeks. Increased tumor incidence and multiplicity was observed in DMH treated rats which were decreased with asafoetida supplementation. Asafoetida at the dose of 10mg/100gm bw had shown profound beneficial effects by exhibiting near normal Total Sialic Acid levels and well-preserved colon histology. These findings suggest that asafoetida dose 10mg/100g bw is minimum dose with maximum protection for colon cancer.

Published: October 2021

Neuropathy and Cardiac complications are the most common trouble in diabetes mellitus with progressive damage due to complex pathogenesis. Many conventional pharmacological agents were withdrawn from clinical studies either due to lack of efficacy or due to side effects on major organs. Over the period of time traditional herbal plants were utilized in the treatment & management of diabetic complications. The aim of the present research work was to investigate efficacy and dynamics of Operculina turpethum root (OT) in STZ induced diabetic neuropathy and cardiac complications. Chronic treatment of crude extract of OT (500 mg/kg) showed positive effect in diabetic animals with significant reduction in blood glucose level, serum nitrite, brain homogenate nitrite & nerve homogenate nitrite levels as compared to diabetic control animals. Treatment with OT showed significant rise in body weight compared to Control animals & polyphagia were observed in diabetic animals persisted throughout the period of 8 weeks. Significant improvement was observed by treatment with OT in behavioural parameters like tail flick latency reduction and rise in pain threshold capacity. Nerve conduction velocity measured through BIOPAC system showed significant (P<0.05) improvement in diabetic animals, while improvement were observed in ECG profile, R-R interval, R wave amplitude, heart rate & cardiac hypertrophy index in diabetic animals when treated with OT. It was concluded from results that there is definite role of Operculina turpethum in the treatment and management of major diabetic complications.
Fuel Cell Powered Drone: Use of Fuel Cells to Extend Multirotor Drone Endurance
Authors: Apeland Jørgen
Published: October 2021

Unmanned aerial systems can be used for a range of industrial applications to reduce risk, cost, and time. Fuel cell-based propulsion systems are outlined as a solution to extend mission endurance, one of the current main barriers for further adoption. This coincides with a general societal push towards more sustainable aviation and the use of fuel cells and hydrogen as important zero-emission enablers. In this thesis, results from research about the use of fuel cells to extend multirotor drone flight endurance are presented. This application entails certain challenges compared to fixed-wing drones, which has been the scope of most previous research. The research explores the performance threshold between batteries and a fuel cell-based propulsion system, the prospects of further adoption, and how the performance can be improved. A prototype fuel cell system is developed and integrated into an X8 multirotor drone with a take-off mass of 21 kg and flight-tested. The specific energy on a power plant level was 243 Wh/kg, and the gross endurance for the current system is estimated to be 76 minutes, a 90% increase from the comparable endurance of the battery-powered alternative. The performance of the 2 kW fuel cell hybrid system is characterized in laboratory testing and exposed to relevant load profiles with a peak load of 2.8 kW. This is one of few independent third-party multirotor drone integrations of a fuel cell-based propulsion system. Based on experimental data from laboratory testing and full-scale flight in a realistic operating environment, a unique overview of associated challenges and further work is provided. As there is little published research on this topic, the work should be valuable for the research community, as well as drone operators and technology providers.

The arƟcle deals with the problemaƟc aspects of mutual coordinaƟon of acƟons between society and nature in the process of applying the tools for regulaƟng the use of both water, ﬁsh and land resources. In this context, the basic principles of forming the mechanism of funcƟoning of the circular economy are studied. Strategic direcƟons of idenƟﬁcaƟon of basic bases and search of modern economic models of development which could posiƟvely inﬂuence communicaƟons between economic growth and depleƟon of water, ﬁsh and land resources for their preservaƟon are substanƟated. It is established that the strong economic development of the naƟonal economy aﬀects the increased use and depleƟon of resources, including land under water in the new economic condiƟons. It is proved that the maximum conservaƟon of resources contributes to the growth of capital producƟvity, which leads to an increase in the amount of proﬁt at the micro level, improvement at the macro level of macroeconomic indicators, including gross domesƟc product, net naƟonal product. Approaches to determining the index of assessment of the degree of integraƟon of the circular economy are considered. The following indices are oﬀered for pracƟcal use: The Material Circularity Indicator (MCI), The Regional Circular Economy Index System (RCEIS), The Circular Economy Performance Index (CEPI), A Circular Economy Index for the Consumer Goods Sector (CEICGS), Circular Economy Development Index (CEDI). Emphasis is placed on approbaƟon of regulatory measures, which are carried out under the condiƟon of realizaƟon of the concept of circular economy through creaƟon of addiƟonal stages of waste processing (Ev1), prolongaƟon of service life (Ev2), destrucƟon of unprocessed waste. The expediency of introducƟon of the newest tools, measures, methods, mechanisms of regulaƟon of process of resource saving with applicaƟon of economic model with orientaƟon on aspects of bioeconomy through model of circular economy is substanƟated. When applying the latest economic model, we can anƟcipate and maximize the available water, ﬁsh, land resources by minimizing the occurrence, destrucƟon of unprocessed waste, as well as extending the service life of products.

The arƟcle discusses the accounƟng treatment for intangible assets. The authors note that intangible assets are the result of economic and technological development. On this basis, the classiﬁcaƟon of economic eras according to the relaƟonship between the use of tangible and intangible assets has been considered. The arƟcle also highlights the main criteria for intangible assets, namely legal and economic. The authors note that intangible assets are a group of balance sheets, in which the intellectual resources of the new economy could be reﬂected. It is noted that UNAS 8 “Intangible Assets” does not contain a certain part of the secƟons that are reﬂected in IAS 38 “Intangible Assets”, in parƟcular, separate acquisiƟons of an asset and acquisiƟons as part of the business associaƟon, acquisiƟons through government grants, etc. AccounƟng systems and items relaƟng to intangible assets are considered. Intangible assets, and especially intellectual capital, are considered to be an important source of capital deepening in European countries, albeit with signiﬁcant diﬀerences among countries. It is noted that one of the biggest challenges in accounƟng for intangible assets is their valuaƟon and, according to certain requirements of the legislaƟon, the enƟty may revalue at fair value at the balance sheet date but if there is no acƟve market, the revaluaƟon may be carried out on the basis of an expert assessment of the subject of the evaluaƟon acƟvity. The authors maintain that the presƟge or importance of intangible objects can be assessed by expert judgment, as many factors constrain the implementaƟon of the excepƟonal features or properƟes speciﬁc to these objects. The authors discussed various methods for intangible asset valuaƟon and the prioriƟes for applying expert valuaƟon approaches to intangible assets and intellectual property objects in foreign pracƟce. The arƟcle also deals with staƟsƟcal data on the value of intangible assets in the balance sheets of Ukrainian enterprises.

Published: October 2021

Research on the development of the tourism business during the pandemic is an urgent problem today. The pandemic era has given us a new set of priorities. We need more advanced but easy-to-use innovative technologies now than ever before. An innovative approach in the tourism business can be reduced to the use not only of advanced information technology and the release of new services, but also a range of innovations that affect all areas of management (quality management, finance, personnel, etc.). In this case, the most effective innovation policy of the enterprise will be in the case of simultaneous implementation of different types of innovations. The article summarizes and systematizes modern innovative technologies used in the tourism business during a pandemic to increase the competitiveness of the industry. It is stated that innovative technologies are the most important part of the tourism and travel industry, helping businesses in their daily work, as well as improving the quality of customer service. Technological advances that currently leave their mark in the industry and, according to various studies, will lead to significant short-term changes in technological trends for 2021 are considered. It is stated that during the pandemic caused by COVID-19, it was tourism that suffered the most, in particular due to restrictive measures imposed by states on the movement of citizens, quarantine, air travel bans and more. It is emphasized that the development of innovative technologies is the most important condition for ensuring efficient and profitable management of the tourism sector during a pandemic. In order to meet today's challenges, the tourism business needs to implement creative ideas to minimize their losses, which is possible thanks to innovative technologies.

يهدف هذا البحث إلى بيان ضرورة الاعتناء بالعائلة وضبط نظامها، وذلك بالمحافظة على الأنساب، وإحكام آصرة النكاح، ثم آصرة القرابة، ثم آصرة الصهر، والحرص على حماية هذه الأواصر، والمحافظة عليها، وصونها من كل ما يؤدي إلى انحلالها، لأن الخلافات الزوجية معول هدم للأسرة، ووجودها يتعارض مع تحقيق مقاصد الشريعة الإسلامية من الزواج. وقد تناول البحث موضوع الآثار المترتبة على الخلافات الزوجية وتعارضها مع مقاصد الشريعة الإسلامية؛ حيث إن انتظام أمر العائلات في الأمة هو أساس حضارتها، وانتظام جامعتها، فكان الاعتناء بضبط نظام العائلة من أهم مقاصد التشريع الإسلامي. وقد تم التوصل إلى مجموعة من النتائج، أهمها: أن انتظام أمر العائلات في الأمة، له أثر كبير في بناء حضارتها، وأن الشريعة الإسلامية حرصت على تحقيق المقصد الأصلي للزواج، من خلال المحافظة على النسل، وحفظه من الانقطاع، وأن الخلافات الزوجية تتعارض مع تحقيق هذا المقصد وغيره من المقاصد المرجوة من بناء الأسرة، وأن ذلك ينعكس سلبًا على الأسرة والمجتمع في آن واحد.

Starting from the concept of "executive functions", we proceeded to describe the object under examination in a more complete and functional way, and their possible role in neuropsychology and developmental psychopathology. The use of statistical methods and clinical observation have allowed us to emphasize the understanding of the multicomponential structure of the processes themselves. Paying particular attention to the psychopathological contents listed in the DSM-V psychiatric manual, the main pathological forms were then analyzed to better contextualize the present discussion, also from a psychotherapeutic point of view, with the preferential choice of the strategic approach for the management of pathological disorders related to the deficit of executive functions

Developmental dyslexia is characterized by impairment in reading and writing because of changes in the cognitive-linguistic behavior and anatomofunctional structures. The goal of the research was to analyze and compare the performance on the skills of reading and writing in children with developmental dyslexia after a tutoring program. Participated of the study fifteen children from both genders from the 2rd to the 6th year from public schools in a city in the State of São Paulo.They were divided into two groups: GI-experimental and GII – control group. Were divided according to sex and age group. The children were subjected to the assessment of reading and writing and to the intervention program in Reading Recovery tutoring. The results revealed statistically significant difference between the GI and GII, where children with dyslexia in the GI showed superior performance on the skill of reading words and reading the book I in relation to children from the GII. It was concluded that the GI introduced significant advances compared to GII that did not receive tutoring intervention, demonstrating that due to variability of cognitive-linguistic profile of children with dyslexia, it is necessary to develop, mainly, in the school context, multimethod programs with specific difficulties that focus on interventions of this population.
