Herstellung von Eindeutigkeit – die Erfassung globaler Kompetenzen durch PISA 2018
Authors: Ress Susanne , Timm Susanne , Taube Dorothea , Costa Jana
Published: July 2022

Mit PISA 2018 wagt die OECD erstmals einen Versuch, globalisierungsspezifisches Wissen international vergleichend zu erfassen. Anders als in früheren Durchläufen widmet sie sich dadurch sehr viel stärker Kompetenzbereichen mit expliziten Wertebezug und positioniert sich prominent in einer Debatte mit potenziell weitreichenden Folgen für die Normierung von Wertvorstellungen im Kontext globaler Vielfalt. In diesem Beitrag werden die Erhebung von Global Competence und ihre Auswertung für Deutschland aus verschiedenen erziehungswissenschaftlichen Zugängen kritisch gewürdigt. Es wird gezeigt, dass das Konstrukt der Global Competence in seiner derzeitigen Fassung den in erziehungswissenschaftlichen Diskursen beschriebenen Herausforderungen im Umgang mit Komplexität, Unsicherheit und Vielfalt nur unzureichend Rechnung trägt und daher einer Weiterentwicklung bedarf. Es wird insbesondere die Engführung auf interkulturelle Kompetenz in der deutschsprachigen Rezeption problematisiert.
Globale Kompetenzen als Capabilities? Eine Betrachtung der PISA-Konzeption globaler Kompetenzen aus der Perspektive des Capability Approach
Authors: Sauerwein Markus , Vieluf Svenja
Published: July 2022

In der PISA-Studie 2018 wurden erstmals globale Kompetenzen von Schüler/innen mit Hilfe von Selbstberichten – und in einigen Ländern zudem über Tests – erhoben. Begründet wird diese Neuerung mit den Herausforderungen einer im Zuge von Globalisierungsprozessen komplexer werdenden Welt, auf die sich Schulsysteme vorbereiten müssten. Im Rahmen dieses Beitrags stellen wir Überlegungen an, inwiefern globale Kompetenzen eine Voraussetzung für „ein gutes Leben“ (der Schüler/innen) sind und welche Bedeutung das Konzept der globalen Kompetenzen für (Bildungs)Gerechtigkeit erhält. Theoretisch greifen wir hierfür auf den Capability Approach in der Lesart von Martha Nussbaum (u.a. 2010; 2012) zurück. Beide Ansätze werden kontrastiert und es wird auf entsprechende Unterschiede verwiesen. Durch diese Kontrastierung wird ersichtlich, dass bestimmte Kompetenzen notwendig sind, um Anderen Capabilities gewährleisten zu können.

Es ist gekennzeichnet durch international gemeinsam organisierte und gestaltete Bildungsprogramme. Dieser Artikel beschreibt Leitgedanken dieses Konzepts und Elemente seiner praktischen Anwendung.
Politische Pflanzen
Authors: Overwien Bernd
Published: July 2022

Pflanzen genießen eine gesellschaftliche Wahrnehmung, die unter ihrer Bedeutung für das Leben auf dem Planeten liegt. Während die Klimakrise viele Menschen beschäftigt, erfährt die Abnahme biologischer Vielfalt lange nicht so viel Aufmerksamkeit, obwohl die sich anbahnende Katastrophe zwar andere, aber keineswegs geringere Auswirkungen haben dürfte. Zudem hängen beide Phänomene eng zusammen, angesichts der Überschreitung planetarer Grenzen. Deshalb soll hier der Blick auf das Politische der Pflanzen geschärft werden, dem auch in der Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung mehr Aufmerksamkeit gebührt.

Acquiring of the resistance to the variant line of the drugs used in drug therapy for M. tuberculosis is becoming a crucial problem for the entire globe. Mutation in cord factor led to the bacterium resistant against antibiotics therapy. These changes drive the chromosomal mutations resultant, the drugs which are sensitive against the M. tuberculosis becomes the resistant via overexpression or modification of the drug target. Essential for viability and virulence, enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of mycolic acid represents novel target for drug development. This is particularly relevant to the impact on global health given the rise of MDR and XDR strains of M. tuberculosis. According to the intrinsic drug resistance mechanism the unusual composition and structure of the bacterial cell envelop and the low numbers of the porins assign notably to the envelope’s low compound permeability. For better diffusion of antibiotics across the cell envelope there are require a high membrane fluidity. Though, the lipid-rich nature builds the cell wall exceedingly hydrophobic and prevents the permeation of hydrophilic compounds. Acquired resistance accomplish when a bacterium has the ability to resist the activity of an antimicrobial agent to which it was previously susceptible. The acquisition of the acquired resistance follows up the case of successful gene mutations. Although M. tuberculosis has low genetic diversity as compare to the other pathogens but the genetic diversity of the M. tuberculosis can influence multiple aspects in therapy of drug resistance tuberculosis. From mono drug resistant to MDR and XDR, is threatening to make TB once again an untreatable disease if new therapeutic option does not soon become available.

Authors:   Center for Future Studies, احمد جهانگیر
Published: July 2022

The Kurdistan Region has been suffering for several years from economic instability and successive economic and financial crises. The deep economic problems and the various imbalances in its economic structure that have accumulated over the past several decades, especially the weakness of the non-oil economic sectors to produce and generate income and absorb employment, and the Imbalances in the structures of public finance, foreign trade, and the labor market among the main reasons why the region’s economy is constantly exposed to major economic crises and problems, These problems and imbalances in general are among the most important justifications that make economic reform in the Kurdistan Region an urgent need. There have been attempts and efforts to reform the economy by the Kurdistan Regional Government during the past years, but they did not succeed in achieving its goals. The economy’s fall into a rentier closed cycle and weak institutions are among the main reasons that have led to the failure of these attempts. Exiting the rentier closed cycle in which the economy of Iraq and the Kurdistan Region has continued for more than fifty years is an essential step and a necessary condition for the success of any attempt in this direction. This can only be achieved under qualified institutions.

Authors:   Center for Future Studies, حه‌كیم هۆگر
Published: July 2022

In contemporary societies, security is no longer a narrow and one-dimensional concept, it has become a broad subject that can be tolerated in many dimensions and aspects, with an impact on different areas and sectors, at the same time, there are a range of factors that change the structure and components of this security and its continuity. Especially national security, which occupies a wide area influenced by many different issues and variables, especially if we look at it from an institutional perspective and examine it. In this sense, social security is a prominent dimension of national security, due to many influential factors, the most prominent of which are those institutions that have a permanent presence and take care of the course of community action. In this theoretical study, we tried to link one of the most important institutions in modern societies to the different dimensions of national security, and social security in particular, which relates to private affairs and good governance. In that study, by talking about university institutions and their supporting role for national security, including social security, and then linking the university as an important institution within society to social security, the theoretical framework was studied to link that relationship and find its effects. As a result, we have come to the conclusion that universities, through their basic functions, either directly or indirectly, will have a positive impact on the provision of social security in society.

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are known as prebiotic-like compounds that promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestinal tract of humans and animals. To demonstrate the prebiotic potential of EPSs produced from lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus plantarumand Bifidobacterium bifidum, this study demonstrated the influence of these bacteria on the immune response in shrimp to infection with pathogenic bacteria. Vibrio parahaemolyticusdisease. The results showed that the diet supplemented with different types of EPS stimulated immunity of black tiger shrimp against acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease, also known as early mortality syndrome in shrimp caused by Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The addition of EPS to shrimp feed significantly increased total white blood cell count, respiratory burst activity, phenoloxidase and superoxide dismutase activity. The study results show that EPS produced by lactic acid bacteria shows potential as a prebiotic, which can become an alternative to the use of antibiotics in shrimp farming to inhibit the growth of pathogens.

Estimation of adaptability indicators of the spring barley varieties according to their productivity under environmental variability
Authors: Bragin R. N. , Filippov E. G.
Published: July 2022

In the current spring barley breeding, the leading direction is the development of early-maturing, drought-resistant, highly productive varieties with good technological grain quality. The productivity of these varieties is influenced both by the economic and biological parameters of the variety and, to a greater extent, by the environmental conditions in the growing area. The purpose of the current study was to carry out a comparative estimation of the spring barley varieties according to ecological adaptability and productive stability under environmental variability. In 2020–2021 there was conducted the study to estimate ecological adaptability and stability of 17 spring barley varieties of Russian breeding (FSBSI “ARC “Donskoy”) in the Ecological Variety Testing in the Rostov and Samara regions. The trial was carried out in four repetitions with a plot area of 10 m². When assessing adaptability, there were used the methods of S.A. Eberhart, W.A. Rassel as edited by V.A. Zykin (2005), V.V. Khangildin and N.A. Litvinenko (1981), A.A. Rosielle, J. Hamblin as presented by A.A. Goncharenko (2005), E.D. Nettevich (2001). The productivity formation through the years of study was mainly influenced (96.5%) by the factor ‘cultivation zone’. The index of environmental conditions showed that more favorable growing conditions were developed on the ecological variety-testing plot of the “ARC “Donskoy” (Ij = +0.61). According to productivity, there has been identified a number of varieties, significantly exceeding the standard variety in only one ecological variety-testing plot. The linear regression coefficient ranged from 0.43 to 1.43, revealing varieties both responsive and weakly responsive to changing growing conditions. According to a number of indicators, there have been identified the varieties ‘Zernogradsky 1755’, ‘Zernogradsky 1724’, ‘Zernogradsky 1754’ valuable for spring barley breeding.

Published: July 2022

Hulles oats is a promising grain crop for germination (bioactivation), that is, it is both a technological additive and a functional ingredient that influences the biological value and consumer properties of a new product. The purpose of the current work was to identify the biochemical composition of hulles oats after the bioactivation process and to estimate the state of the carbohydrate-amylase complex of grain. The study was carried out at the experimental plots of the Samarsky Research Institute of Agriculture named after N.M. Tulaykov during 2018–2021. There were studied such oat varieties as the hulled variety ‘Konkur’, the hulles varieties ‘Baget’ and ‘Bekas’. In the long-term trials there was established the high nutritional value of the hulles oat varieties ‘Baget’ and ‘Bekas’ with on 4.5–4.8% of protein, 33.0% of starch and 27.0–39.0% of oil more than these of the hulled variety ‘Konkur’, which indicated great prospects in baking, possibilities of using this crop in the production of starch and oil. The period of bioactivation has shown that 80% of hulles variety seeds demonstrated more active and friendly kernel sprouting, growth and development up to 1.5 mm. There has been experimentally established that the conditions created during germination (water, temperature, air) reduced mass fraction of protein in kernels on 5.4 – 8.8%, starch content in kernels on 19.5–22.9%, oil in kernels on 5.1 – 7.0% compared with non-sprouted oats. Due to more active germination of hulles oats, the consumption of protein, polysaccharides and oil by the kernels of the varieties ‘Baget’ and ‘Bekas’ was on 2.3–3.4% more active. There has been estimated the state of carbohydrate-amylase complex. The kernels of hulles oats in contrast to hulled oats were characterized by lower amylolytic activity (880–890 u.a. of viscosity on the Brabender amylograph and 348–354 c of ‘falling number’ according to Hagberg-Perten). Bioactivation of grain greatly increased the amylolytic activity: the maximum viscosity of the suspension in the varieties Baget and Bekas stopped at the level of 105 AU, the falling number was 75 s. The total enzymatic activity of amylases has increased in absolute terms on 13.3 – 43.4 mg, the dextrinating activity of α-amylase increased in 2.2–9.8 times, and the saccharifying effect of β-amylase increased in 1.7–3.9 times. The hulles oats, having low amylolytic activity, in the process of bioactivation has acquired greater manufacturability and functionality as an ingredient that influences the biological value of a new product.

Published: July 2022

Sorghum is one of the most adaptable and undemanding forage crops cultivated in arid zones. The crop is characterized with high quality foliage, which can be used in fodder production in various forms (both in single-crop silage and in multi-crop mixtures). The purpose of the current study was to estimate the variability of the main productivity elements of sweet sorghum green mass depending on weather indicators. The initial material was presented by 180 collection samples of sweet sorghum from Russia, the USA and Ukraine. There have been used conventional breeding methods, such as hybridization, selection and inbreeding. The weather conditions during the study years of 2017–2021 were contrasting. The hydrothermal coefficient for the vegetation period of sorghum indicates that the year of 2018 was the driest one (HThC = 0.38). The variability coefficient of collection samples of sweet sorghum according to green mass productivity has shown a strong variability of this indicator (V = 27–35%). The green mass productivity had a close direct correlation with the length of a leaf (0.73±0.05) and an average correlation with its width (0.61±0.06). The variability coefficient has shown that the samples of sorghum collection had an average variability according to the traits ‘leaf length’ (V = 15.3%) and ‘leaf width’ (V = 11.8%), and were stable according to the trait ‘number of leaves per plant’ (V = 7.4%). Correlation and regression analysis has shown that ‘leaf length’ had an average inverse correlation with air temperature (r = –0.42±0.06) and a strong direct correlation with precipitation (r = 0.78±0.05). The trait ‘leaf width’ is practically independent of weather conditions. The number of leaves had an average negative correlation with air temperature (r = –0.55±0.06), and a weak correlation with amount of precipitation. A leaf length and width are marker indicators of high productivity, so they can be used in plant selection for productivity.

Published: July 2022

The current paper has presented the results of a three-year study (2019–2021), the purpose of which was to study and evaluate the impact of various tillage methods on pea productivity. The trials were carried out on the fields of the structural subdivision of “NCRIMEA” of the FSBSI “Agricultural Research Center “Donskoy”. There have been studied four tillage methods such as subsurface; layer-by-layer; moldboard; ‘no-tillage’ variant. Weather conditions during the study period were contrasting and affected plant vegetation period. When estimating the effect of tillage methods, there were taken into account such indicators of pea productivity as number of productive plants, number of productive nodes, number of productive beans, number of seeds per bean, number of seeds per plant, weight of seeds per plant, 1000-seed weight, and productivity. The three-year study and estimation of the effect of various tillage methods on pea yields and its productivity, there was found that the growing season decrease negatively affected pea productivity under all tillage methods, along with this the plants reacted more sharply to this under the moldboard tillage. The most favorable effect on pea productivity was provided by variants ‘no-tillage’ and subsurface tillage due to the maximum formation of number of nodes, beans and seeds in plants, as well as seed weight increase. The estimated mean pea productivity in 2019–2021 showed the advantage of a subsurface tillage (3.15 t/ha). Relative to it, there was established productivity decrease on 2.2% in the variant ‘no-tillage’, on 13.97% in the variant with a layer-by-layer tillage, and on 28.25% in the variant with moldboard tillage.

This study aims to extend the conceptualization of resource integration in service ecosystems by defining and empirically analyzing the orchestration of multi-actor collaboration for value co-creation in the tourism eco-system. Current knowledge on the emergence of service ecosystems is extended by focusing on and conceptualizing the resource integration efforts of resource orchestrators and connectors. It adopts a qualitative in-depth case study approach to explore, in a real-life situation, how resource orchestration through multi-actor collaboration for value co-creation occurs in complex service ecosystems, such as hospitality or tourism services. The analysis is built on multiple sources of information to integrate investigations conducted through direct observation and questioning. A new approach is synthesized, which shifts away from the understanding of resource orchestration as a firm-level activity for initiating and managing innovation processes to a key process for driving and managing the emergence of multidimensional and multilevel value co-creation structures.

This chapter aims to assess how humane orientation as a cultural value and prior experience in social problems (dependent variable) influence social entrepreneurial intention (SEI, independent variable) of students of tourism management. The additional antecedents of SEI, such as empathy, moral obligation, social self-efficacy, and perceived social support, were entered into the research model as mediating variables between independent and dependent variables. The research was conducted on a sample of 70 students enrolled in studies of tourism management in the Republic of Serbia. The results of single mediation regression analysis indicate that empathy and perceived social support are mediators between the dependent and independent variables, while moral obligation and perceived social support are not. Results of the study present implications both for theory and practice in the area of social entrepreneurship of university students.

Globally, the cruise sector has had quick growth and high revenues in the last twenty years. However, this issue affected tourist destinations and natural resources, causing a steady deterioration. Particularly, there is a growing opinion that the sustainability of this mass tourism is a problem that needs to be addressed and resolved through accountability tools. For this reason, the implementation of sustainable tourism practices has stimulated cruise lines to develop sustainability reports, according to some international tools and in most cases, these companies adopt the GRI Standards. This study aimed to highlight the evolution and awareness of the impacts in the cruise sector by analyzing the sustainability reports drawn up according to the consolidated GRI standards. In particular, in this chapter, some values of the GRI standards, belonging to the 300 series, named “Top-specific Standard - in environment”, have been analyzed and compared. The purpose is firstly to analyze the environmental impacts of the cruise industry, starting from the identification and evaluation phases. Secondly, it highlighted how much a tool, such as the GRI can allow for comparative analysis. Furthermore, this chapter presents a comparison between three cruise companies, on the basis of some values associated with the GRI environmental indicators. Finally, for a specific company, the sustainability reports were compared over the years, to evaluate the company’s approach to the environmental, economic and social performance through the GRI standards. Particularly, the authors identified two hypotheses to be verified: hypothesis 1. The GRI implementation allows an improvement of the environmental performance; hypothesis 2. The cruise ship is equivalent to a city with identified requirements in terms of environmental impacts.

In recent decades, the service sector has become a fast-growing world economic activity, and hospitality organizations are a key element of the service sector. Providing high-quality services in this sector at lower prices than the competition is an important factor and the basic goal of companies’ business success. In order for hospitality organizations to achieve this goal, it is necessary to find an adequate way to calculate costs and determine the cost price of services provided. The application of modern costing methods enables hospitality organizations to increase profits, increase labor productivity, shorten service delivery time and reduce costs. One of the concepts of cost management in a given business environment is target costing. The concept is focused on reducing costs, primarily in the product design phase to the target amount. The paper analyzes the possibility of applying the modern concept - target costing in a hospitality company.
The Case Number 112 of Congenital Chylous Ascites and Its Successful Treatment
Authors: Jalal Al-Mosawi Aamir
Published: July 2022

Background:Congenital chylous ascites is a very rare condition that has been well recognized as early as the 1950s, and was mostly called “Congenital chyloperitoneum” during that time. Few cases have been reported during the 1960s, and in 1967, Craven et al attributed the development of congenital chylous ascites to obstruction of the cisterna chyli and chylous reflux into the peritoneal space and small intestine and they demonstrated lymphangiographically. Patients and methods: The use of a unique dietary therapy for the treatment of congenital chylous ascites is briefly described and the relevant literature is described. Results:An infant with congenital chylous ascites was seen at about the age of two and half months. He was initially treated with intravenous somatostatin infusion, and thereafter by repeated paracentesis, and continued to receive breast and bottle milk feedings. However, when he was first seen, ultrasound was still showing moderate ascites. The boy was successfully treated a combination of a unique form of very low-fat diet and octreotide acetate subcutaneous injections. Treatment was not associated with a negative effect on growth or development, and no evidence of nutritional deficiency was observed. Conclusion: The case number 112 of congenital chylous ascites is reported and its unique therapeutic approach is described.
Successful Palliation in Monochorionic Twins with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome
Authors: Rocha Martinez Tania Leme da
Published: July 2022

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a congenital heart disease which accounts for 8% of all congenital heart defects. Twin pregnancies have a significantly higher risk of structural heart disease than singleton ones, however the concordance rate has been found to be relatively low, even in monochorionic pregnancies. We describe here the favorable evolution of a monochorionic, diamniotic, twin pregnancy in which both fetuses were diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome by antenatal echocardiography. The present report suggests that at least in some cases there may be a genetic contribution to the etiology. The fetal diagnosis was imperative to a good postnatal outcome.
